Nice to meet you. I love you. |BTS JIMIN HS FF|

'That... that's not me.' Jimin says, and the room goes quiet. By the time I looked up, everyone was staring at Jungkook in shock. Well, Taehyung and Iyera did. Jimin looked ready to punch him.

'I remember you looking at those last year. I figured you might like them.' Jungkook smiles at me as if he just didn't do something really weird and unacceptable. You don't buy your ex earrings. And you definitely don't give them to her in front of her boyfriend. Or at all.

'What the hell is wrong with you?' I ask, turning his smile into a surprise

'What do you mean?'

'Are you serious?' I almost yell. 'You're taking these back. I'm not taking these.' I closed the box, giving it back to him, but he pushed my hands away

'Okay, calm down. I didn't buy them. At least not for this.' He sighs, then starts explaining. 'I got these for your birthday. I just never gave them to you. And what am I supposed to do with the girl's earrings?' He chuckles

'I don't know. Return them.' I push again, and he pushes back.

'As if I keep receipts for something I got almost a year ago. I can't return them. Just keep them. Wear them. Give them away. I don't know. I sure don't need them.' He insists

'Jimin.' I caught his hand as he tried to get up

'It's okay. I'm just going to the bathroom.' He smiled weakly, kissing the back of my hand before getting up and leaving

'What the fuck man?' Iyera shoots out at him

'Even I gotta say, this is far from okay, man.' Taehyung didn't seem to find this funny in the slightest. Glad it's not just me.

'Can I talk to you for a second? Alone.' I put the box down on the coffee table, glaring at Jungkook

'Aish.' He sighs deeply but gets up. 'Sure. Lead the way.' He gestures

I walked into the kitchen, waiting for him to close the door behind him. And then I snapped.
'What in the fucking hell was that?!' I was trying so hard not to yell, but my God did I want to

'I already told you. I had them from before. It just seemed like a good opportunity to give them to you.' He said it almost as if he was bored of explaining it

'Do you really not see how not okay this is?' I scowl again

'It's earrings. I didn't get you a fucking ring, Yeona.' He scoffs, turning it into a joke

'Have you even stopped to think about how it would make Jimin feel? Or me?'

He was just staring at me with those doe eyes, not saying a thing.

'Look,' I sigh deeply. 'Thank you. But I can't accept those.'

'But.. do you like them?'

'Jungkook, that's not the point. This is not okay. It doesn't matter if I like them or not.' He just doesn't listen

'It matters to me.'

'What?'

He took a deep breath and then walked closer, standing right in front of me.
'I can't do this crap anymore.'

'Do what, Jungkook?' He is confusing the shit out of me

'I love you, Ye. I always have.'

I'm not sure if I'm gonna have a stroke or a heart attack, or both.
'Wh- what?' I barely whispered. What the fuck?!

'I love you. That's the truth. The reason I've been acting so different lately. The reason I can't stop smiling and being happy around you. The reason why I kept coming back to you all those months even after we broke up. The reason why I didn't want you falling in love with anyone else. It's because I love you, and I wanted you all to myself.'

Every word out of his mouth was clear and soft. He meant every word. But every single one of those words just stabbed me right through the heart, but not in a good way.

'Are you kidding me right now? You broke up with me telling me you don't love me anymore, and now you pull this shit on me? What in the world is going on in your head?' I almost yell

'I was afraid. I loved you way too much, and it scared me. I didn't want to be so attached to someone, so I thought if I left you, the feelings would leave. But that never happened. And now-'

'Now it doesn't matter. I'm sorry, Jungkook, but I'm gonna need you to leave.'

'I'm sorry, too.' He pressed himself against me, pushing me into the counter behind me, pressing his lips on mine, holding my hands so I couldn't push him away. I tried moving but I had nowhere to go.

'What the fuck?!'

Iyera was standing right at the door, staring at us with her eyes wide open. Thank god. I'm saved.

'Iyera.' I call her name in relief that she gave me a chance to escape, but I didn't see this next thing coming

'I didn't think you'd be such a heartless, lying, deceiving bitch.' She spat at me with tears in her eyes and ran off

'Iyera!' I pushed Jungkook with all my might and ran after her to the living room, grabbing her hand

'LET GO OF ME!' She screamed at the top of her lungs, startling everyone. Jimin and Taehyung were just staring at her in shock, mirroring the look on my face

'Iyera, listen to me. It's not what-'

'It seems?!' She cuts me off. 'So you didn't just have Jungkook's tongue down your throat?!' She snaps

'What?' Jimin asks, slowly getting up, looking between the two of us

'No, no. It's not what it sounds like, Jimin! I swear!' I have no idea where to go first. Iyera or Jimin. This is such a mess.

'And you've been with Jungkook all this time? Did you cheat on Jimin this entire time? What is wrong with you?!' She looked so hurt

'No! I didn't cheat! And I haven't been with him. Listen to me, please.' I plead, tears going down my face just the same

'No, I think I've seen and heard enough.'

'Makes two of us.' Jimin says and walks away, heading upstairs for his things

'Jimin!' I turned for him, and Iyera already stormed out of my place and slammed the door

Jungkook finally emerged from the kitchen, silently walking by to get his shoes.

'Are you two... have you been together after the breakup?' Taehyung asks in a quiet time, looking at both of us

'It's complicated, Tae. Yes and no.' Jungkook says calmly

'Well, great job. Merry Christmas.' He says in a sarcastic manner and walks right out

'Leave.' I told Jungkook and ran upstairs to Jimin

'Jimin, please, listen.' I cried, trying to grab his arm

'No. We're done.'
