13. Some Perspective

Namjoon's P.O.V.: 

The weight of our conversation with Taehyung and Jungkook hung heavy in the air long after they were gone. The room seemed charged with unresolved tension, each word uttered during our heated exchange replaying in my mind. My gaze lingered on the door where Taehyung had exited, a silent acknowledgment of the depth of emotions that had surfaced. 

Jungkook's frustration with us was clear, his pent-up anger spilling over like lava from an active volcano. It was a side of him that we rarely ever witnessed, but it opened our eyes to the gravity of the situation showing us just how far over the edge it had pushed him. 

The accusations hurled back and forth between us had cut deeper than I had anticipated and I couldn't quite tell if it was because it came from close friends or because it was true. It wasn't that I thought we were completely in the wrong but they made me realize that we went about everything the wrong way, meddling in a situation before getting the full picture. 

Leaning back in my seat, I raked a hand through my hair, trying to make sense of the turmoil that had unfolded. Jin, who had moved to sit across from me, looked to be in a much similar state seeming overwhelmed by the bombard of emotions he was most likely having.

"Jin." my voice broke the heavy silence, seeking to get through the weight of the conversation that still lingered. "I knew that there would be a bit of tension but I didn't expect this." My words carried a hint of regret, wishing our reunion had been under different circumstances. Jin's gaze meant mine, his eyes reflecting a similar mix of emotions and understanding. "None of us did, Namjoon," he replied softly, his voice heavy with a sense of disappointment. "I thought we could at least spend a little time catching up but instead we walked right into a battlefield." I nod in agreement "Taehyung's feelings for Y/n... I had no idea that they were this intense," I admitted, my thoughts lingering on the depth of Taehyung's emotions that had been laid bare. 

We always knew that Taehyung liked Y/n but I never thought that he really loved her like that. He was always encouraging of Jimin and Y/n's relationship so I guess I thought that he had moved on or was at least trying to. But maybe that was just an excuse that I told myself. Sure his concern protectiveness of her had been prevalent in the past but they were never this strong. But looking back it does seem pretty clear that he had always harbored strong feelings for her we had just chosen not to see it. I feel horrible for being the shit person who ignored his friend's feelings for another friend. 

Jin lets out a sigh, his frustration evident. "It's a mess, Namjoon. I just wish we knew the full extent of what's been happening. None of this would have happened if we never left," he lamented, regret coloring his words. I got where he was coming from, I also felt a similar guilt gnawing at me. 

"We were gone for too long, Jin," I muttered. "And we messed up, we didn't know the full extent of the situation yet we decided to meddle anyway. We should have been there for them, all of them." A  heavy silence settled between us, the weight of our absence during Y/n and Jimin's turbulent times weighing heavily on our shoulders. 

Jin's voice cut through my reverie, his tone more resolute. "We need to do something, Namjoon. We can't just leave things like this," he urged, a hint of desperation seeping into his words. 

I nodded, agreeing with Jin's sentiments. "You're right, but this time we have to make sure to do things right and consider everyone's feelings. I think it's high time we get some sort of explanation from Jimin, we have to at least try," I say determination surging within me. "We'll figure this out, Jin," I reassured, trying to infuse a sense of optimism into the bleak situation. "We'll find a way to help." Jin offered a small smile, a flicker of hope amidst the uncertainty. "Let's hope so, Namjoon."
