My Paradise || Taekook

CHAPTER 16

"So, to sum it up, you found out that you like Yoongi Hyung recently. He takes care of you, and sometimes you feel that he treats you differently. You have been hiding the fact because you don't know how he feels and don't want to get awkward with him after he rejects you. But today, your feelings got the best of you, and you acted upon your instincts."

Taehyung turned around to look at his best friend after he was done with his little speech. Jimin was sitting on the second stair of the staircase and had his head down; he was looking at the floor as he sighed and nodded a little. Taehyung could tell his head was a mess.

Taehyung walked to the older and hugged him, and Jimin was quick to hug him back, hiding his face in the younger's chest, and Taehyung could tell that soon his best friend would start crying.

"Minnie, I know you won't believe me if I say he has the same feeling as you. But don't give up because if you really do like him, you need to go through it all.", Taehyung tried to console his best friend.

But both of them were unaware of a presence behind them. Both of them were unaware of how they were breaking another heart into pieces.

Hobi held in a sob as he ran through the hallway and stopped only when he reached the end of it. There was a large window at the end of the hallway. He stared at the morning sky as tears finally came out of his eyes, and he couldn't help but smile—a sad smile.

"Why am I like this?" he chuckled, "I knew Yoongi likes Jimin. Damn, the way he has been over the years, I am sure he loves Jimin. But I still let my h-heart...." his voice broke as he sobbed. He wiped his tear and chuckled again. "And then Jimin...." he chuckled again.

"I must be insane that my heart beats for two people. But h-how am I supposed to control i-it...?" He sobbed again and wiped his tears. 

"But now it hurts so bad. I tried to save it, but in the end, it broke." He said as he put a hand on the left side of his chest as he let the tears escape from his eyes.

After a few minutes, finally, the tears stopped, and he wiped his cheeks. He sighed as he looked at the endless blue in the sky.

Taehyung hugged Jimin for a few minutes before he pulled away, only to see tears in his best friend's eyes. "Minnie, why are you behaving like this? You need to give it some time.", Taehyung said as he wiped the tears away from his best friend's face.

"I know Taehyung. I know, but..." But then, what is it with Hobi Hyung? Why do I feel... He couldn't complete the sentence even in his mind. 

"But what, Jimin? Give it some time, and everything will be fine.", Taehyung said, and Jimin nodded, composing himself.

"Now, enough about me; let's talk about you. I am sure you said you wanted to talk to me.", Jimin said after a few minutes; Taehyung sighed, but he needed to tell someone. He needs to let it all out in front of someone, and Jimin is the best person for it.

So, he ended up telling Jimin everything from the day he met Jungkook to the disaster he did yesterday. And Jimin... well, he couldn't control his laughter. "But who spiked your drinks" he burst out in laughter again. "Damn, that kiss was so funny."

But his laugh soon stopped when he received a smack on his head from a blushing Taehyung. "Ow... It hurts, idiot.", Jimin yelled. "I know", Taehyung, head palmed before continuing, "All you figured out from my long story was that kiss was funny."

"Calm down, dude. But I don't see a problem; you guys are in the first stage, Friendship. At least it's not complicated like mine." Jimin sighed before continuing, "But Tae, you will have to be patient with Jungkook. I can see the pain in his eyes."
