Chapter 8

Jimin

"Jimin, what're you doing here?" I sheepishly looked at the ground before mumbling a response.

"Would you like to the know the truth?" A deep chuckle was heard and I glanced up at the sound.

"Jimin, I already know-" "No! You don't!" My shout shocked not only him, but myself. I needed to remain calm and ensure to gain Taehyung's trust. I swallowed thickly as my memory recalled the task set for me.

"Just get Taehyung to trust you. Make him hate Jungkook."

"Namjoon, how will I do that?"

"Sometimes, you have to play dirty."

"So lie?"

"Not necessarily. Remember we want his trust. Do what you have to."

"-th and.. Jimin?" I jumped slightly, shaking out of my daze. Taehyung was eyeing me carefully, confusion swirling around on his face.

"Sorry, what were you saying?" I tried to recover from spacing out on him but this caused Taehyung to sigh frustratingly.

"I said, you should meet my friend. He showed me which side he wants me on. Jimin I think I know what I want."

Here's my chance.

"What's his name?"

"Jungkook." Taehyung smiled absentmindedly. My eyes widened in all the horror I could muster up.

"Jungkook?" Taehyung's smile fell immediately at my reaction.

"Yeah, what's wrong? Do you know him?" I gripped him by his arms before shaking my head quickly.

"Taehyung, don't trust him. He manipulates people. He mixes up the truth, he's bad news."

"How do you know? He works for the light side. The good side." He ripped his arms away from my grip.

Keep going.

"The light side isn't what he made it out to be, I myself was mixed up with the sides. How do I know? Because he manipulated me." He noticeably stumbled back before responding.

"H-he did?" Taehyung was caught off guard.

Almost have him.

"I always assumed his side was good, but I was wrong. I can't let you make the mistake of giving yourself to that side. The dark side seems bad but the name is very misleading. If you know and want what's best for you, you'd trust me on this." Taehyung hesitated and glanced around mumbling out something I almost didn't catch.

"Tae."

"Huh?"

"Call me Tae."

Got him.
