The Bangtan Chatroom [THE BTS CHATFIC]

┃CHAPTER 33┃

Chris's smirk grew as he saw the unease in Jimin and Yoongi's faces. The satisfaction in his eyes was undeniable, feeding off the distress he caused.

"Wh-what are you doing here?" Jimin managed to stammer out after a long, painful silence.

Chris shrugged casually. "Just on a fun vacation. I mean, I deserve some fun, don't I?" he said, his gaze shifting to Hoseok, who had just arrived and was staring at the scene, confusion etched on his face.

'Who is he?' Hoseok wondered, noticing how Yoongi's usually composed face was now visibly disturbed.

As soon as Chris saw Hoseok, his expression shifted from a smile to a look of surprise. "Hoseok? What the—?"

Hoseok's confusion deepened. "The fuck? How do you know my name?" he asked, suspicion lacing his words.

Chris sighed dramatically and rolled his eyes, his attention shifting back to the group. "Ugh! I should have known. I knew the old man was persistent about saving his group, but seriously? That guy is such a pain."

Namjoon had heard enough. He stepped forward, his voice firm. "Okay, that's it. If you're done with your so-called reunion, we need to get going. We have other things to do."

Chris turned his attention to Namjoon, smirking. "Namjoon... Still the same, always standing up for them. Oh, wait! Don't tell me you still have feelings for Jin—"

"Shut the fuck up!" Jungkook snapped, his anger boiling over. He took a step forward, fists clenched, but Jin quickly grabbed his hand to calm him down.

"Jungkook! Language!" Jin warned, squeezing Jungkook's hand gently.

Chris laughed mockingly. "Seriously, you all haven't changed one bit. That's why I despise all of you."

That was the last straw for Hoseok. He had had enough. "Okay, that's it. We're leaving! Come on, Yoongi!" Hoseok grabbed Yoongi's hand and signaled Taehyung to get Jimin.

"Hope we never see each other again," Hoseok said coldly as he started to lead Yoongi away.

As they turned to leave, Chris called out with a sneer, "Hoseok, don't try to run away. We all know how pathetic you are."

Namjoon, his voice low and steady, turned to Chris. "I think you've made a mistake because, as far as I know, Hoseok is anything but pathetic." His deep voice resonated with a quiet intensity that made Chris falter for a moment.

Although slightly intimidated, Chris still wore a smug look. He enjoyed the discomfort he was causing. "And one more thing," Chris said as he moved to leave. With Yoongi, Jimin, and the others already gone, only Namjoon and Jin remained to hear his parting words. "Things will come full circle, and I'll win all over again." With that, Chris walked out of the hotel, leaving a heavy silence behind him.

Jin turned to Namjoon, whispering, "What does that even mean?" They made their way back to their hotel rooms, the unsettling encounter still lingering in their minds.

Back in their hotel room, the tension was thick. Namjoon couldn't hold back any longer. "Okay, who is he?" he asked, looking at Yoongi and Jimin. Their shaken expressions made it clear that Chris was trouble.

Jimin, still shaken, took a deep breath and sat beside Taehyung and Jungkook on the couch. "Namjoon Hyung, do you remember when I mentioned having a one-night stand a while back?"

Namjoon's eyes widened in realization. "Wait, don't tell me!"

Jimin nodded, his voice trembling. "Yes, it was him, and now I feel so ashamed for ever liking that bastard." He shivered, remembering the details he had tried so hard to forget. "I wasn't in my right mind... I was d-d*ugged that night!" Jimin's voice broke as tears filled his eyes. The memory of being taken advantage of resurfaced, making him feel vulnerable and exposed.
