Jungkook paced back and forth behind the campus, the tension in the air thickening as he confronted Jimin. The two friends had stepped out for a moment, but Jungkook was far from calm.
"Why do you keep pushing Taehyung to get closer to that Park Bogum guy?" Jungkook demanded, his voice rising with frustration. "Can't you see how dangerous that is?"
Jimin crossed his arms, clearly annoyed. "I'm not pushing him! I'm just trying to support his passion for acting. You can't just isolate him because you're jealous!"
"Jealous? It's not jealousy! I just don't want him getting hurt!" Jungkook shot back, his fists clenched. "You think I'm overreacting, but you don't know how those seniors can be. They're not all good people, Jimin!"
"Oh please, Jungkook. You're acting like you're the only one who cares about Taehyung," Jimin retorted, his tone sharp. "He deserves to have friends and mentors without you breathing down his neck all the time!"
"I'm not breathing down his neck! I'm trying to protect him!" Jungkook said, his voice strained. "You don't understand what he went through. I won't let him get hurt again."
Jimin shook his head, exasperated. "You think being possessive is protecting him? You're just pushing him away! He needs to feel free to make his own choices."
"I'm not going to stand by while you encourage him to get closer to someone who might take advantage of him," Jungkook argued, his anger boiling over. "You might think this is just about acting, but it's not! It's about his safety!"
"And it's about trust, Jungkook!" Jimin shot back, his voice rising. "If you truly care about him, you should trust him to make his own decisions. You can't control everything!"
The argument hung heavily in the air, both friends breathing heavily, their emotions palpable as they glared at each other. Jungkook's heart raced, torn between his instinct to protect Taehyung and his frustration with Jimin's perspective.
"You don't get it, Jimin," Jungkook finally said, his voice low but intense. "I won't let anyone hurt him, especially not because of your 'support'."
Jimin sighed, realizing that their friendship was at stake. "And I won't let you bully him into submission, Jungkook. If you care about him, show it the right way."
With that, Jimin turned to leave, leaving Jungkook seething in the shadows of the campus, unsure of how to navigate the complicated web of love, friendship, and protection.
Jungkook stormed away from the argument with Jimin, frustration boiling inside him like a raging storm. He needed to release this pent-up anger, and there was no one around to challenge him. The campus was quiet, the only sounds being the rustling of leaves and the distant chatter of students.
Finding a sturdy tree, Jungkook balled his fists and began to unleash his fury, punching the trunk over and over again. Each strike reverberated through his arms, the pain a welcome distraction from the emotional turmoil swirling in his mind. His breathing was heavy, adrenaline coursing through his veins, but with every hit, he felt a fleeting sense of relief.
After several minutes of relentless pounding, Jungkook stepped back, his knuckles raw and bleeding, bruises forming on his skin. He stared at the tree, the bark now marred by his blows. With a shaky breath, he turned away, the anger slowly dissipating but leaving behind a dull ache in his heart.
As he made his way to find Taehyung, the adrenaline faded, and reality began to set in. He knew he shouldn't have taken his frustrations out on the tree.
When Jungkook finally spotted Taehyung sitting on a bench, his heart sank. Taehyung looked up, eyes wide with concern as he noticed the state of Jungkook's hands.
