30. The Night Has Just Begun

Actions wound up more than words could ever, and Jimin was living by this strategy all his life.

Despite the words Dowoo ever said, his actions were always different, he cared, he protected, he stood by his side throughout the time he remembers but the day the actions were suddenly at a pause with bitter words reminding him of this truth he never wanted to believe.

He loves Dowoo a lot but then he started drawing the line in between. In the process of loving him he was losing himself.

And for Dowoo, he hadn't had a day in his life where he didn't question his purpose of being a human, the purpose of him acting up. He had a mindset of sacrificing himself to whatever he loved and cared for and it caused him to not realize how this mindset pulled his loved ones into a pit of misery only.

He can deal with harshness but not the ones around him.

He wanted to act as tough as he always could to be untouchable and unprovoked but it had always been the opposite in his case.

It all mattered to him.

Mattered how he was loved by someone and that someone is Jimin. If he had the heart to love himself, maybe he would know how it feels like to love someone back with the same decency.

And he was still in this endless mirage, stranded or more like capsized in a sea of his own limitations.

To see Jimin in pain hurts, to know he couldn't give him the same love hurts even more and to not settle with his own dilemma and being just as helpless as always hurts more than ever.

So nothing's better than leaving that way for him so he finds better people. And he certainly seemed to find one which V has been seeing lately.

If he (Yoongi) treats him any better than him, he'll let himself find an end to the tunnel of his guilt.

Though he still prays for a day where he could see himself eye to eye, bring himself that strength to love someone else, he wishes that someone to be Jimin and if it's not him, he doesn't just wanna love anyone.

No one.

Back at the event, Jimin was lifted by a hand offered to him by Namjoon who continuously urged everyone to give him applause and the audience while standing did all they could.

Jungkook who seemed so proud suddenly blew out whistles which were caught by Jimin who looked around, narrowing his eyes to find him and he couldn't contain his smile as his heart was against his chest to see all that appreciation he received.

"Woah, I perhaps love nobody in the meantime but Jimin, I have to admit you made me sad, only love can hurt like this." Jin commented comically on the mic while Jimin giggled.

"That was a slick way of letting people know that you're single Jin-ssi but sure Jimin had an effect on all of us." Namjoon responded just as lightly and everyone had a fair share of laughter until they were instructed to sit back.

And Jungkook could see how his friend didn't move an inch throughout the time. Concern grew naturally for him because V hadn't batted an eye in a while.

And that's when Jungkook decided to extend his hand to be over his knee, suddenly breaking him out of the trace and V looked down at his friend's hand then away.

Jungkook didn't need to know much, for as long as he has known him and Jimin a lot of it was pretty evident and he'd lie if he would say the performance certainly didn't affect him as well.

He was just as overwhelmed to imagine himself in his sorrow but he couldn't dare imagine himself in place of either Jimin or V, which certainly seemed way more complicated than it was.
