PART 17

Hello Taehyung, is everything okay? Jungkook tells me that you get into a fight.

"Oh, he already tells you?" Taehyung replies.

Jimin: Of course, Jungkook tells me. I told
you, Jungkook never keeps secrets from me. And if you're going to make him cry like this, break up with him.

Taehyung types furiously. Mind your own business, Jimin!

Jimin replies instantly. I am minding my business. Jungkook's happiness is my business.

Taehyung's anger boils over. Stay away from us!

Jimin's response comes quickly. Never

"Why Jungkook, you lie to me?" Taehyung says to himself.

AFTER SOMETIMES

Taehyung takes his phone and messages Jungkook,

Taehyung: You tell me he means nothing to you, but you already told him our conversation. I hate you, Jungkook.

Jungkook replies quickly.

Jungkook: Baby, no! I didn't tell him anything. He sees me crying and asks me what happens. I say nothing.

Taehyung's anger doesn't subside.

Taehyung: Don't call me baby! You lie to me.

Jungkook pleads. Tae, I swear I don't tell him anything.

Taehyung's doubts creep in.

Taehyung: Am I a joke to you, Jungkook? Let's break up and go be with him.

Jungkook replies, desperation evident in his words.

Jungkook: Taehyung, why are you doing this to me? I tell you he means nothing to me. You're the only one I love. Please believe me.

Taehyung's anger and hurt simmer.

Taehyung: You expect me to believe you after what happens?

Jungkook pleads.

Jungkook: Yes, I do. I swear on my love for you, Tae. He's just a friend.

Taehyung's doubts linger.

Taehyung: A friend who knows our private conversations?

Jungkook explains.

Jungkook: That is an accident. He sees me crying and guesses something is wrong.

Taehyung remains unconvinced.

Taehyung: I need space.

Jungkook's anxiety spikes.

Jungkook: Tae, don't push me away. Talk to me.

Taehyung: Where are you now? With him?

Jungkook: Yes, he's the one who offers me a drink.

Taehyung: Don't text me again.

Jungkook tries calling Taehyung, but it goes straight to voicemail.

Jungkook: Tae, please!

(Jungkook sends multiple texts, but Taehyung doesn't respond)

AFTER SOMETIMES.

After many drinks Jungkook falls asleep in Jimin's place.

Jimin takes his phone. Hi Taehyung, I just want to let you know that Jungkook... he's not coming back home. He says he needs space.

Taehyung's eyes narrow, anger and hurt simmering.

Taehyung: What do you do to him?

Jimin: Nothing, Tae. He's just drunk. He needs a place to crash.
