Jimin sat in the dimly lit room, his vision blurred by the tears that welled up in his eyes, as he immersed himself in memories of the cherished moments he had shared with Taehyung. Each memory played vividly in his mind like a reel of their laughter, conversations, and shared experiences that now seemed like treasures from the past. His heart felt heavy yet warmed by the nostalgia that flooded his thoughts.
In that tender moment of introspection, the silence was broken by the abrupt sound of the front door bursting open. Jimin's gaze snapped towards the entrance, disbelief flashing across his face as he beheld the unexpected sight before him. There stood Jungkook and Taehyung, side by side, entering the cozy haven that Jimin had retreated into.
A wave of emotions surged through Jimin as he took in the sight of Taehyung, a familiar face that held a special place in his heart. Despite the whirlwind of conflicting emotions that churned within him, Jimin couldn't help but feel a sense of joy blooming within his chest at the sight of Taehyung's presence.
"T−Taehyung?!" Jimin addressed the taller man, his voice filled with a mix of confusion and surprise upon seeing him unexpectedly alongside Jungkook.
"Jimin, whom do you actually love between us?" questioned Taehyung, his words catching Jimin off guard. It was clear from the expression on Jimin's face that he had never anticipated such a question in his life.
"I− why are you asking that?" Jimin responded, his own question hanging in the air as he tried to make sense of the situation.
"Because we need to determine who should you be with," Taehyung replied, his tone firm and resolute.
"What the− why is this coming up all of a sudden?" Jimin's voice betrayed a hint of frustration as he sought clarity.
"Stop with the questions and just tell us!" Taehyung's voice rose slightly, his impatience starting to show. The tension in the room was palpable as both Jungkook and Jimin exchanged surprised glances.
"I love you both!" Jimin's declaration reverberated in the room, his emotions raw and unfiltered.
"Then whom do you love the most between us?" Taehyung pressed on, his gaze unwavering as he awaited Jimin's response.
"What?" Jimin, taken aback, couldn't hide his confusion and disbelief.
"Yes, there must be one," Taehyung continued, his voice now sounding almost challenging. "Even parents have a child they favor the most, teachers have a favorite student, and everyone has that one friend they consider their best. So, tell us, whom do you truly love the most? Don't hold back now."
"Taehyung, please don't pressure him too much. I understand if he's struggling to make a decision or if he's just trying to avoid hurting me," Jungkook said, he was sure that Jimin loves Taehyung more but was hesitating to confess it in front of him that it might not break his heart.
"Jimin!" Jungkook addressed the smaller, who stared at him with doe eyes, that can bring the two taller men on their knees. "Let me be direct. We're here because I wish for you and Taehyung to be together, knowing that your love for each other is genuine."
"Jungkook, are you in your right mind? Is this some kind of joke? Please, don't tell me it is," Jimin's voice rose in frustration and disbelief.
"No, Jimin. This is no joke. I'm being sincere. I've witnessed the depth of your feelings for each other. Taehyung has been a constant support for you, treating you with the utmost care and respect, like the royalty that you are. Regrettably, I confess that I have caused you pain, been reckless with your heart, while he has been nothing but tender towards you. Despite harboring affection for you, he valued your decisions and displayed selfless love by not taking advantage of your vulnerability when you sought solace in him after my betrayal. It's now your turn to reciprocate. Embrace him so that I can find peace, knowing that I haven't torn two lovers apart. While I may have been careless in the past, I refuse to confine you to a life with me out of cruelty. I need to convey one final truth: although you were physically with me, your heart has always belonged to Taehyung," Jungkook responded calmly, his voice wavered slightly as he spoke these words, his emotions laid bare for all to see.
