CHAPTER THREE — WHY HIM?

-❁-

"TAEHYUNG, CAN I come in yet? Jeongguk and Yoongi are in the living room," Jimin begged, his back pressed against the door.

"Fine, but if I see him standing next to you, you'll be sleeping in Namjoon hyung's room," Taehyung huffed.

"Deal."

Once Taehyung heard Jimin's answer, he unlocked the door and ushered him inside. Jimin plopped down on his bed, laying on his stomach.

"Are you really still bitter about what happened four years ago?" Jimin questioned. "I mean, come on, four years? People have started and graduated high school in that time period!"

"Exactly! Four fucking years and he never gave me an answer! Not even a 'No, I don't want to get back together!' Not even an 'I hate you!' I got absolutely nothing! He made me look like a total idiot," Taehyung ran is hand through his hair in frustration.

"Uh, you were," Jimin chuckled lightly. "Still are. Except this time, you're acting like a child who just got news that Santa isn't real. Grow up, Taehyung! It was years ago!"

"Years without an answer!" Taehyung said again.

"Stop using that excuse!" Jimin smacked his face into his palms, groaning in frustration. "Well, either way, you're gonna need to warm up to him eventually. He's Yoongi's best friend."

"Why him? Out of all the great people on Planet Earth, why did our producer have to be best friends with Jeon Jeongguk?" Taehyung said with venom in his voice.

"How am I supposed to know?" Jimin snarled. "You're literally acting like a child. This is our job!"

"Our job isn't to mingle with people who made you scared to love!" Taehyung's voice cracked at those last words. The words he was never able to speak out loud.

"Taehyung," Jimin's voice softened. "I-"

"Keep it."

"Tae."

"What do you want?" Taehyung asked harshly, facing down at the floor. His eyes stung, glossing over with tears.

"Why didn't you tell me before I got mad at you?" Jimin scooted over to sit next to him.

"I," Taehyung began hesitantly. "I was scared."

"Scared of what? I'm your best friend," Jimin laughed lightly, attempting to brighten Taehyung's mood.

"Looking weak."

"Who cares about that stuff?" Jimin chortled.

"I do. I was an idiot for getting with him, but I didn't want to show it. I'm tired of being the stupid one in the group," Taehyung's hands curled into a fist, gripping at his sweats.

"Tae-"

"Like I said, keep it. You don't deserve this kind of stupid angsty shit. Just, go out there and tell me when he leaves."

Jimin followed Taehyung's orders, walking out of the room. Taehyung buried his face into his pillow and let out a well-needed scream.

"Fuck you, Jeongguk."
