How J Hope Has Fallen

I Will Kick Your Ass, Hyung Or Not!

You break free of Tae's hold and run down the hall, eventually colliding with Namjoon as he exits the elevator. He steadies you, placing his hands on your shoulders. Looking down into your eyes, he sees you crying.

 "What's wrong, Noona? Where's Hobi?"

You jerk free just as the elevator doors close, so you run down the hall, away from them all. You run back to the room you and Hobi share, realizing why Jin has been so cold to you for weeks.

You now know why Jungkook slapped you, and Jimin didn't seem to know whether to be angry or hurt.

They think you have been cheating on Hobi. It is unfathomable to you that they would think such a thing, let alone act on it.

Hobi starts to leave to go after you. Taehyung puts a hand on his shoulder to stop him.

 "Let her go for now. She needs a little space. We have business to take care of here."

He glares at Jin. "Don't you ever imply that Lill and I have ever crossed the line like that? She is the best friend I have ever had, and her being here with us can't make me any happier."

Jin stares in mild surprise at the way Taehyung is speaking to him. "She shows us affection because she loves us like brothers. Nothing is going on except in your jealous mind! But if you ever try to make it out to be more... I will kick your ass, Hyung or not!"

Jin and Hobi are staring at Taehyung, neither of whom has ever seen him ready to fight one of his elders.

Hobi shakes his head and sits down across from Jin. He holds his head in his hands, elbows on his knees, wondering how to explain it to Jin. They hear him speak barely above a whisper, "I know what is going on . . "

Jin interrupts him, "YOU KNOW!? Then why the hell is she still here?" 

Hobi looks up at Jin and starts to explain, "She and Yoo . . ."

Jin interrupts him again, "How can you still love her?"

 Hobi says, "Shut up, Jin! Let me find. . ." 

Jin continues, "What kind of man are you to allow your girlfriend to openly cheat on you?"

Tae steps in front of Jin. "Stop it, now!" Jin and Hobi both sit back.

Jin is still upset and can't believe Hobi knows, but he seems okay with it. Hobi is hurt that Jin would think so little of him and angry that one of them slapped him.
