Tuberose | Jikook

Chapter III

{a/n: I'm contemplating whether I'm gonna finish it in the next chapter or I'll add an epilogue... Help me decide?}

When Jimin arrived in front of Jungkook, the entire hall suddenly went silent while watching their interaction... The way Jimin cupped the latter's cheek while staring at him with those heart eyes is somehow eerie to the people who witnessed it. Even Jungkook found  himself feeling a little uncomfortable with the way Jimin smiled at him...

"You should really fix that habit Min~ We're in front of everyone..." Jungkook whined.

"But I'm not doing anything wrong! I just touch your cheeks and smile at you..." The smaller defense. "Is it so wrong to look at the handsome groom in front of me?"

"But still..." Jungkook gently took the hand away from his cheeks. "You're being a little more touchy today..."

Feeling detested, Jimin took the spot beside Jungkook as he doesn't want the latter to see him in tears. He is so cruel. The way Jungkook smiled at other people but not to him really hurts him a lot... Maybe everything about him is wrong and unlovable.

Jimin's pain and loneliness grew even bigger, as the next person who entered the hall changed the annoyed look on Jungkook's face to a love sick one... A few meters away from them is Kim Taehyung, wearing his beautiful white tux that fits his features perfectly... He is the guy who stole Jungkook's heart since day one, and Jimin is nothing more to Jungkook than a friend who happens to be in love with him... Fuck.
The way the couple looks so happy with each other's presence signals the end of the road for the smaller... If only Jungkook met him before he met Taehyung...

"I can't believe that I'm gonna witness the day that the person I love will be taken away from me by my own best friend..." Jimin stared at the two who walked towards the altar. "Kim Taehyung took the only man that I wished to be mine, yet never happened..."

Jimin pulled himself together as he finally took the designated seat for the best man of the wedding... What an honor! The bouquet of tuberose that was once beautiful in his eyes was now an eyesore for the latter, as the flower itself symbolizes his love for Jungkook that never reciprocated...
"It's not like Jungkook didn't like me at all, it's just that my very own best friend seduced him while I was away and took the chance to ask Jungkook to fuck him and make him his... What an asshole..."

Flashback...

While the two are busy waiting for their order, Jungkook took the opportunity to ask his friend Jimin for some advice... The way the latter is fidgeting his fingers as he tried to collect his thoughts made Jimin smile in so much adoration.

"You alright, Jungkook-ah? You seem restless..." Jimin smiled at him shyly.

"Jimin-ah, what if one of your friends tells you that they like you? Would you agree to go out with them and start dating?" Jungkook asked while playing the rim of his glass.

"It depends if I like the person back... But if I do, then yes..." Jimin replied with a hint of interest. "Why? Are you gonna ask me out, Jungkook-ah? I must tell you now, I'm not easy to handle..."

"What?! No! What the fuck! I mean yeah you're pretty and nice, but you're a great friend to me... I don't want our relationship to change just because I like you if ever..." Jungkook quickly replied that it made Jimin dumbfounded.

"Ahh~ So the great Jeon Jungkook didn't consider me as a lover material, but only a good friend... How sweet..." Jimin scoffs as he chugged the glass of water.

"Min, you know that's not true..." Jungkook replied. "You're very lovely and sweet that the person you're gonna love is so lucky to have you..."

Jimin hummed in return, not wanting to argue with Jungkook anymore. "So tell me, who is the friend of yours that you wanted to date with? I know that you're feeling bothered by something trivial like that, so I wanna know who made you feel distressed and confused..."

"I uhm... I think I like Tae for awhile now..." The taller blushed. "I just happened to realize it when we uhm... When I had sex with him a few days ago..."

All of Jimin's will to live dissipates instantly the moment he hears the news about Jungkook and his best friend fuck without him knowing... Kim fucking Taehyung knew that he is in love with Jungkook, as he always tell him about how perfect Jungkook is as a boyfriend... Yet here he is, letting his lust control his body and betray Jimin big time...

"Oh... Then what are you planning now, Jungkook-ah? Are you gonna ask him out? Maybe date him and officially become his lover?"

"Well that's the plan, Min-ah..." Jungkook agreed. "Will you help me win his heart? I know it's a big favor, but you're the only one I trust..."

"What do you want me to do?" Jimin had a huge lump on his throat that made him unable to talk more.

Jungkook smiled as he held Jimin's hand. "I want you to help me court Taehyung for real..."
