The moment they met Tae had been asking Jungkook to call him Hyung as he's older but he doesn't. Will he ever call him that? And under what circumstances?
In high school, Jimin and Taehyung's friendship had been the epitome of cool. They were both well-liked, effortlessly charming, and always in sync with each other. Their bond was a source of admiration for many, and it wasn't long before Jimin's feelings for Taehyung evolved into something deeper.
Jimin had always been the type to wear his heart on his sleeve. When he realized that his feelings for Taehyung were more than just friendship, he gathered the courage to confess. The confession was heartfelt, sincere, and delivered with a mix of nervousness and hope. To his delight, Taehyung reciprocated, and they began dating.
At first, everything seemed perfect. They were the couple everyone envied, and their love story was the talk of the school. They would go out on dates, share laughs, and revel in their newfound romance. It was a beautiful beginning.
But as time passed, Jimin began to notice a disconcerting pattern. Taehyung, who had once been so attentive and affectionate, seemed to treat him more like a friend than a boyfriend. Jimin noticed that Taehyung often spoke about Jungkook, his childhood friend, more than he spoke about their relationship. Taehyung’s eyes would light up whenever he mentioned Jungkook, and he would recount their memories with a level of fondness that Jimin couldn’t ignore.
Initially, Jimin brushed it off, telling himself that Jungkook was a special part of Taehyung’s life. After all, they had been friends since childhood, and Jimin understood that their bond was deep. Besides, it was Tae and Jimin who were dating, wasn’t it?
But as the days turned into weeks and the weeks into months, Jimin couldn’t shake the feeling that something was amiss. The way Taehyung spoke about Jungkook, the way his eyes softened when he talked about him—it all pointed to something more. Jimin wasn’t naive; he could see the admiration and the unspoken affection in Jungkook’s eyes whenever he looked at Taehyung. It was an ache he tried hard to ignore, a painful reminder of the love he couldn’t fully embrace.
Jimin’s heart ached as he watched Taehyung’s interactions with Jungkook. He would notice the way Jungkook’s gaze lingered, the way he seemed to be silently yearning for something he couldn’t have. Jimin, in his own way, tried to assert his presence by being more clingy and touchy with Taehyung. It was his way of claiming what he felt was his, a desperate attempt to reassure himself that he was still significant in Taehyung’s life.

But deep down, Jimin knew the truth. Even if Taehyung didn’t fully realize it, the love between him and Jungkook was undeniable. Jimin could see the potential for something greater, something that transcended their current relationship. And so, after months of silent suffering and introspection, he made the difficult decision to end things with Taehyung.
The breakup was both heartbreaking and necessary. Jimin sat down with Taehyung, his voice trembling but resolute. He told Taehyung that he had fallen out of love, that their relationship was no longer fulfilling. Taehyung’s eyes filled with tears, his voice cracking as he begged for forgiveness, trying to understand what he had done wrong. But Jimin, despite his own pain, could only offer a resigned smile. He told Taehyung that he deserved someone who truly loved him, someone who could reciprocate his feelings completely.
