Maybe it should have been you (kt ff)

11. Interrogation pt. 2

Y/n P.O.V.:

"Wait, What?" My voice echoed, a mix of surprise and disbelief. I scrutinized their faces, a puzzled expression knitting my brows together. "Jimin never liked me; he always had other girls he was with. If he liked me like that, I would have known."

Namjoon's incredulous expression mirrored my own confusion. "Hold on, you mean Jimin still never told you how he felt about you?" I shook my head, utterly dumbfounded.

Jin let out an exasperated laugh, his hand running through his hair in frustration. "Of course, he never told her! Jimin was never good at expressing his feelings, especially when it came to you," he explained, shaking his head with a hint of disappointment.

Their words felt like a prank, but their serious demeanor shattered my skepticism. "You can't possibly expect me to believe that!" I laughed, but deep down, doubts clouded my mind.

Hoseok reached out, his touch a soothing gesture, gently holding my hand. "I know it's hard to believe, but everyone always knew he had feelings for you. He confided in us about how he felt, and all those girlfriends he had were because he wanted to make you jealous. We always told him to confess, but he thought that you didn't feel the same, so he never did."

I found myself staring at the ground, trying to process this overwhelming revelation. If what they were saying was true, Jimin had harbored feelings for me since high school, perhaps even earlier. But if he had loved me all this time, then why did he act the way he did? Nothing from the past two years made any sense.

"If he loved me, then why did he do all of this? Do you have any idea how much it hurt me when he pushed me away?" Tears welled up, my voice cracking with emotion. "I tried so hard to get him to open up and tell me what was wrong! All I ever wanted was for him to be happy, so I did everything I could to take care of him. So why? If he loved me so much, why would he treat me like this?"

Hoseok pulled me into a warm, comforting hug, and Jin and Namjoon exchanged worried glances.

"We don't know why he's doing this, but we're going to figure it out, OK?" Namjoon assured me. "We promise we'll try to fix this."

After the boys left, I sunk back onto the couch, feeling a whirlwind of emotions. I wished they hadn't revealed Jimin's hidden feelings. Facing reality was harsher than I'd anticipated. I'd spent endless time worrying about Jimin, trying to decipher his thoughts and desires. Now, I felt drained. Jimin's concealed emotions from years past surfaced at the worst possible time—just as things were beginning to progress with Taehyung. The last thing I wanted to dwell on was Jimin's unresolved sentiments and the enigma behind his cold behavior. It was all too much to process.

The newfound information led to a cascade of questions. Why did Jimin keep his feelings a secret? And did Taehyung and Jungkook know? If they did, why hadn't they told me?

If Jimin truly had feelings for me, he'd have confided in them. The unease settled in, considering Taehyung and Jungkook keeping such significant information from me.

As my mind spiraled into confusion, the front door creaked open, pulling my attention. Taehyung stepped inside, his gentle smile momentarily distracting me from my turmoil. "Hi Y/n," he said, tossing his keys on the table before joining me on the couch. "How did it go with the boys today?" His concerned tone hinted at his worry. I hesitated, torn between keeping it all to myself and sharing the barrage of questions.

"Something happened, didn't it? What's wrong?" His concern deepened, sensing my unease.

I took a deep breath, torn between divulging my turmoil and keeping it contained. "Why didn't you or Jungkook ever tell me about Jimin's feelings for me? You knew, right?"
