The One Who Knew (Jikook/Kookmin)

Chapter 17

Tears

[Taehyung's Pov]
"Jimin...you're not happy..." I spoke up, my voice breaking as I stared at the ground. I had this feeling that Jimin didn't love me anymore, and after that speech he had just given I knew that feeling was right...

"What do you mean?" Jimin chuckled nervously and I felt his hand on my shoulder. My heart was aching, but it would only ache more if I left the situation...

"You're not happy with me I mean...not as happy as you could be anyway..." I continued with a gulp, and my stomach churned the more I thought about it.

"Tae shhh...I am happy" He replied and I shook my head, as I saw the crying mess out of the corner of my eye...

"No you're not...And it's ok" I reassured before I finally found it in me to look into his eyes. I could feel the tears forming in my eyes as I looked at the man I loved knowing I would have to give him up.

"T...Taehyung..." He choked out and I reached out my hand to caress his cheek one last time.

"I've had this awful feeling for a while now...and now I know it's true, it's time for me to move on." I continued sniffing a little as I spoke.

"What are you t-talking about?" Jimin questioned and I could tell he had no idea where to look.

"You're in love Jimin...but it's not me" I stated as a small tear fell down my cheek and I heard a small gasp from in front of me.

"What?!" Jimin jumped and I shook my head with a small chuckle, trying to make it seem like I wasn't that hurt.

"Shh...It's ok...It wasn't at first don't get me wrong, but you're a good person Jimin, one of the few people I can actually say I love. There isn't a doubt in my mind that knows you loved me too, but there's someone else that's taken your heart. Someone who's taken it before too..." I hesitantly moved my hand to Jimin's small chin and I turned his head slightly to the left, and I saw him immediately freeze...The pair of tearful eyes had caught his gaze and I just knew I'd never get my love back. "Everyone deserves to be happy Jimin...and if that man is your happiness, you go and get it" I let go of his chin and my arm flopped to the side, and I looked away as I couldn't bare watching the man I loved look at someone else the way I looked at him...

"Taehyung..." Jimin whispered as he turned to face me and I felt his soft touch on my cheek. I couldn't help but fall into his hand.

"Don't Jimin...Don't make this any harder" I fought back the tears desperately, but it was no use. I was losing Jimin...

"I'm sorry...Please don't think it's your fault. You were one of the greatest things to ever happen to me." He answered moving his hand away from my cheek.

"Oh I know...but sometimes you have to let the people you love go. So please just go to him. He needs you, and you need him...but once you walk away, don't come back...I couldn't cope" I nodded to him making sure he knew that I understood.
He turned away from me and I wasn't going to lie apart of me wished he declined my suggestion. That he stayed with me...but I knew that wasn't going to happen. I watched as he began to walk away and he didn't look back once. That's when I knew for sure he'd never be mine again. I watched as they spoke to each other, Jungkook smiled lightly as Jimin wiped his tears away. I couldn't do it anymore. I couldn't watch the scene pan out any longer, so I turned on my heel and stalked out of the building. Once I was outside I had no idea what to do with myself. I couldn't go home...I would just be reminded of Jimin, then it happened, a motorbike pulled up just in front of me. I stared at the rider as he dismounted the bike. He was wearing a rather handsome suit that was finished with a small, black, bow tie. I couldn't tell who it was at first, that was until he removed his helmet. "Hobi?!" And that's all it took to make me burst into tears. Hoseok quickly dashed to my side and I completely fell onto him.
