Why? [Jikook]

16

He sat there silently. He was waiting for nothing but happiness and freedom. That never happened, but he could try.

It's funny because no matter what he doing, he always risking something. Loving someone gives them the chance to break you--break your trust, love, and yourself. He considered everything that has happened recently and came to one conclusion. He needed to love his friends and Jungkook more. He was breaking himself and risking his relationships. He has done that a lot recently.

Jimin couldn't let himself sit for longer, so he stood up and began to walk. Even if his walking got him nowhere, he could try, right?

He stopped in front of the door to his room, sighing. He touched the doorknob. Jimin remembered holding Hoseok's hand and crying with him, he remembered all the good times. It was all he needed now, as he began to realise what was happening around him. Instead of sitting there longer, he twisted it and let himself in.

The darkness that surrounded him let him realise how much he had fallen.
Why was he all the sudden thinking these things killed him. It also made him wonder if he was okay.

Maybe I need to sleep... To be honest, the amount of sleep he was getting was unhealthy. The new comeback coming up was tiring for everyone. Jimin also, to the the dismay of ARMY, lost a lot of weight before it happened. Jungkook had been too, which worried him.

"Um, Jimin, one sec. Could... We talk?" Namjoon's voice scared him. He jumped, turning around.

"Namjoon-hyung? Of course, come in." Jimin said, turning the light on. He closed the door once the leader made his way inside.

"Sorry for scaring you," Namjoon giggled. "I really don't wanna be the one to tell you, so I would like to talk to everyone together. If we have time. It's quite scary to think that this can happen." Jimin was curious. What?

"Umm.. What hyung?"

"I... I'm sorry Jimin. I love you, bro, but Kookie... needs to tell you on his own. Like... I really don't wanna see you upset but-" Namjoon stopped talking to regroup himself, "He cheated on you."

He fell to the floor. To his goddamn knees. His tears weren't contained, not even close.

"How did- Aiish!! K-kookie..." he shoved his face into his tallest hyung's chest. It almost felt like his heart had been literally broken in half. Like Jungkook had punched him in the stomach, smirking at what he did--with no remorse.

"I'm sorry. Taehyung..." Jimin didn't need anything more. He couldn't stop sobbing, gripping the older's shirt tightly. "Jimin-ah, calm down. You matter so much. You know that I care, Jin does, Yoongi does, Hoseok does, heck, even Taehyung does. Please..."

"I-I can't believe..." He sniffled. "That he would do such a thing."

"Where is Jimin?" Jungkook asked Yoongi, getting ready to call him.

"Like you would care. Have you ever committed yourself or something? Or do you just feel like you can be with everyone?" He questioned, which took him back.

"Wait..." He paused. "Are you talking about Taehyung? I'm not dating anyone." Jungkook hated lying, so much.

"Oh, whatever. It's okay now, everyone knows about you and Jimin. But why did you think it was okay to break his heart? When Namjoon told him, he didn't know that you would do this, so apparently he doesn't even know you-" he had to stop him right there.

"Yoongi! Just stop! I didn't know what to do! How did you even know about Tae?" He cried, letting a tear fall.

"So you really expect us to just be deaf and not pay attention?! Is that really what you think?!" Yoongi challenged, getting up and walking in front of Jungkook.

"Sometimes, I wish I didn't have to deal with you and the others!" Before he knew it, Yoongi had slapped him across the face. The burn that he felt after it stung.

"Wake up! You would be NOTHING without us." Yoongi yelled louder. Jungkook gasped at the pain he still felt, which was becoming emotional too. "I sometimes wonder how you are an adult." The last part was quiet.

"I'm..." He was crying. The only thing he was confident in. "I'm sorry..." He made no eye contact at this point, struggling to even keep his eyes open.

"Jungkook, don't say sorry to me. Go say it to Jimin, the one that you broke." With that, Yoongi left him by himself, tears falling down his face rapidly.

His phone dinged, so he picked it up from his nightstand. It felt cold in his hands. Jungkook looked at the text.

Hobi: It's time to practice. Please don't be late.

Jungkook almost ran to his closet, throwing it open. He picked a white shirt, no different than usual. After getting ready, of which he had made a slow process because of thinking, he finally made his way into the practice room.

Upon entering, he was shook.

Yoongi was crying

Into Hoseok.

Namjoon stood there, holding Jin's hand.

Jimin wasn't there.

Taehyung was, and he was sitting on a bench close by.

"So you better be ready to talk, or this will be a long practice." Namjoon spoke up, his face almost blank.
