Taehyung was breathing heavily as he turned to pour himself another drink. Paige growled under her breath, smacking the drink from his hand. He turned to her as she glared at him.
"What on earth happened with you guys?" Paige looked between them, waiting for an answer. They just glared at one another. She moved between them.
"Ask him." Taehyung muttered like a child. She shook her head, moving closer to him.
"Yah! We're not children on a schoolyard Tae! I'm not playing the he-said, she-said game. Just tell me what the fuck happened! How did it come to this?"
"He slept with my girlfriend because he was upset with something I'd said to him." She rounded on Jungkook, eyebrows raised. He held his hand up in protest of Taehyung's words.
"She wasn't your girlfriend Taehyung! You'd just slept with her before!" Paige couldn't believe what she was hearing. She shook her head at the pair of them.
"You're fighting like this over a girl? Over a girl? You're meant to be brothers!" Paige said in disbelief.
"There's been worse things happen over a girl..." Taehyung muttered under his breath. Paige could feel a rage building in her stomach.
"What was that Taehyung?" His eyes dropped immediately as she held her gaze firm. Was that a jibe?
"I wasn't thinking Paige. I didn't mean it-" She could tell he was sorry, but she couldn't control her temper.
"I didn't ask for any of this Taehyung. I didn't ask to be born into the family I was. I didn't ask to fall in love with Jimin. I didn't ask for Jackson fucking Wang to be obsessed with me. But do you know what it is..." She breathed. "I'm dealing with it. I'm not making excuses for it. I came here to ask for your help. If you don't want to help - don't help but I won't stand here and have you make this all my fault-" Taehyung's arms quickly enveloped her as he pulled her in close. His hand smoothed down her hair as he placed his chin on the top of her head.
"I'm sorry Paige-ah." He breathed.
"Please can you guys try and put this behind you and help me find Jimin-ah?" She asked, looking between them.
"I'll help find Jimin. I can't promise to forgive you Jungkook. I need time." Jungkook nodded before looking to Paige, seriously.
"We need to get out of here. Jackson approached me before I came in here." Paige sighed, she'd completely forgotten about Jackson being here.
"Is he still here? What did he say?" Taehyung pulled a gun from his desk, placing it into his holster.
"The usual. Threatening me again, trying to figure out where you are, where Jimin is. He said he'd received a tip off that you'd be here tonight." Her heart hardened as her blood ran cold.
