PART 39

Namjoon interrupted, his voice smooth. "I think I should explain. J-Hope and I... we've been seeing each other."

Yoongi's eyes blazed with fury, his fists clenched. "How could you, J-Hope?"

J-Hope took a step back, his eyes pleading. "Yoongi, please understand—"

Namjoon intervened, his voice calm. "I know this isn't easy, but I want to be honest. J-Hope and I have feelings for each other."

Yoongi's face twisted in anguish. "Feelings? You've been lying to me, deceiving me, and betraying me Jhope!"

J-Hope's voice cracked. "Yoongi, I'm sorry. I never meant to hurt you."

Namjoon's gaze locked onto Yoongi's, his expression empathetic. "I know this hurts, but J-Hope deserves happiness. We deserve happiness."

Yoongi's laughter was laced with bitterness. "Happiness? With you? After everything we've been through?"

Yoongi's eyes widened in shock. "Who really the fuck is this guy Jhope?"

J-Hope's expression remained unbothered. "He's my new boyfriend."

The words hung in the air like a slap.

Yoongi's face contorted in rage. "Your new boyfriend? After everything we've been through, you just move on to someone else?"

J-Hope's voice was firm. "Yes, Yoongi. I've moved on. I deserve happiness."

Namjoon stepped forward, his eyes locked onto Yoongi's. "And I'm happy to be that person for J-Hope."

Yoongi's anger boiled over. "You think you can replace me? You think this... this stranger can take my place?"

J-Hope's expression softened. "Yoongi, it's not about replacing you. It's about finding happiness."

Jimin intervened, his voice calm. "Yoongi, maybe we should talk about this—"

Yoongi's glare cut Jimin off. "No, Min. This is between me and J-Hope."

Yoongi come  closer  to Jhope, his eyes blazed with intensity as he grasped J-Hope's arms, his grip almost painful.

"Tell me the truth," Yoongi's voice was low and menacing. "What's really going on?"

J-Hope winced, trying to wriggle free. "Yoongi, stop. You're hurting me."

Yoongi's grip tightened. "You're leaving me for him? After everything we've been through?"

J-Hope's eyes locked onto Yoongi's, a mix of fear and determination. "Yes, Yoongi. I'm leaving. I deserve better."

Namjoon stepped forward, his voice firm. "Yoongi, let him go. You're scaring him."

Yoongi's gaze didn't waver. "This is none of your business."

J-Hope's voice trembled. "Yoongi, please. You're hurting me."

Yoongi's eyes searched J-Hope's, desperation creeping in. "Don't go, Hobi. Please."

J-Hope's expression hardened. "I'm gone, Yoongi. I've been gone."

The silence was oppressive, the tension suffocating.

Suddenly, Yoongi's grip loosened, and J-Hope stumbled back, gasping.

Namjoon's words cut through the tension, his voice laced with accusation. "You see, that's why he's leaving you, Yoongi. You just keep hurting him."

Yoongi's face crumpled, his eyes welling up with tears. "No, that's not true. I love him."
