Solar: A sequel to Eclipse

•9•

Dinner was awkward for the most part. Jimin decided to sleep and shut everyone out before dinner started. Jungkook heard most of the commotion earlier, but he didn't intervene.

Hoseok and Yoongi had no idea what was going on, but they also didn't ask questions right now.

After what felt like forever in silence, Jin broke it.

"Jimin never spoke to me the way he did up until recently. Not even when we first met him. So tell me, what did you guys tell him?" He asked sternly.

Namjoon just glanced to Jin. This wasn't a good idea for a topic. If anything, this was gonna just make an argument.

Hoseok said nothing.

"Do you ever have anything else to talk about? This has been the same thing for the past year or so, always about Taehyung and the situation. Find a different topic." Yoongi replied. Jin glared to him.

"Sorry that I want to understand what happened. But frankly, I've been asking the questions, and none of you have the decency to answer me. So tell me, did you tell Jimin what happened." Jin snapped.

Jungkook just stared at Jin.

"That's not your business, is it?" He asked.

Namjoon seemed to start getting irritated at this point.

"Jungkook, don't start with the disrespect, he's still your elder." Namjoon warned. Jungkook just rolled his eyes.

"Oh please, you don't really think that I care about that in this situation, do you? You're asking me to respect someone who defended an abuser?" Jungkook asked with shock.

"Taehyung is his brother, he has every right to defend him." Namjoon replied back. Yoongi looked disgusted.

"Namjoon, do us all a favor and keep your mouth shut. Taehyung was literally proven guilty of domestic violence and you're trying to say that Jin defending him was right? Get a grip." Yoongi scoffed.

Jin grit his teeth.

"Hoseok, did you tell Jimin everything? I expect an answer from you."

The table was silent.

This was getting irritating. Every single dinner was the same. Silence, arguments, everyone's mad.

Hoseok was sick of it at this point, and he already predicted that Jin was gonna threaten to kick him out of he didn't answer him.

"Hoseok, I'm giving you a place to stay, answer the question." Jin sneered.

Knew it. Jin only ever had empty threats. And Jin got the right one today.

"You don't even have a job, who are you to try and kick me out?" Hoseok asked. Jin was caught off guard.

"Yoongi is right, Pick a different topic." Hoseok warned.

Everyone seemed shocked at the response. After almost nine months of this shit, he finally snapped.

Yoongi smiled to himself. This was fucking beautiful.

"You all changed!" Jin shouted.

Everyone jumped with the sudden noise. Jin stood up.

"You all fucking changed! Why am I the bad guy now?! Hoseok was literally the one who slept with Taehyung and tried to get him to break it off with Jimin! Not to mention that he didn't report shit when he found out that Tae was beating on him!" Jin shouted.

Hoseok stood up.

"Maybe I didn't report it because I knew it would make it worse! All you ever think about is how Jimin was delusional because he stayed in the abuse! Have you ever tried to think that maybe he was fucking terrified to leave?!" Hoseok shouted back.
