The Descendants

Chapter Twelve: Torture

"Hey. What are you doing here all by yourself?" Jimin suddenly emerged from the corner of the hallway when he saw Chaeyoung sitting on the bench located not that far from Jisoo's hospital room. "I thought you already went inside Jisoo's room." Jimin continued to walk towards Jisoo's door, passing Chaeyoung. "Let's go."

"Wait!" Chaeyoung stopped him and Jimin looked back, looking confuse. "Jungkook's in there. With her."

"Ofcourse, he's with her. Who do you think we all came here for? Seriously Chae, what—" Jimin paused when he noticed Chaeyoung's gloomy face. "Oh— You mean like he's.." Jimin finally realized when Chaeyoung couldn't look him staright in the eyes. "Seriously? Here I thought it was only you who's having a one sided love around here." Jimin chuckled and Chaeyoung immediately threw him an irritated and confuse look at the same time.

"Yah! It's not funny!" Chaeyoung nagged. "Wait, how did you know?"

"That you have feelings for Jungkook?" Jimin decided to finally sit down beside her. "Come on, Chae. Everyone could totally tell by the way you look at him." Jimin scowled. "But hell, I didn't know about Jungkook's feelings for Jisoo though." Jimin chuckled once again.

"I found out years ago when saw him doodling Jisoo's name on a paper." Chaeyoung remembered and Jimin saw how Chaeyoung's face looked hurt. "And I remembered hearts being drawn around her name. It was so cute! And—"

"Chae.." Jimin cut off. "It's okay." Jimin assured and Chaeyoung just looked up to see Jimin looking at her sorrowfully.

Chaeyoung couldn't held on anymore. She cried and Jimin immediately enveloped her inside his arms. Chaeyoung just sobbed silently, feeling afraid that Jisoo and jungkook would hear her. Jimin on the other hand just kept on comforting the girl. Jimin already knew that Chaeyoung likes Jungkook but he decided to keep quiet about it. He really didn't want to meddle in things that doesn't concern him. All he could do for his friends was to be by their side whenever they need him, just like how Chaeyoung needed his comfort right now.

"You know.." Jimin broke the silence between them and Chaeyoung looked up to see Jimin smiling down at her. "..you're pretty, yourself so don't go crying over some guy, okay?" Jimin said while cupping the girl's face in his hands.

"Ya!" Chaeyoung pouted. "The guy that you're talking about is your friend, you know." Chaeyoung chuckled, smiling now. "Thanks Jimin." She said, giving the boy another hug. "Wait a second.." She quickly draw back from the embrace. "What do you mean when you said that I wasn't the only one who's having a one sided love?"

"Oh. About that.." Jimin started, looking amused. "If Jungkook really likes Jisoo, then I'm afraid you and him are having the same fate, since Jisoo already likes someone." Jimin answered indifferently.

"What are you talking about? And who?" Chaeyoung asked frantically.

"Geez! You didn't know? Oh well. Jisoo herself might not know about it too but she likes Taehyung." Jimin rambled. "Even Jungkook knows about how jisoo really feels for Taehyung."

Chaeyoung's eyes widen. Jungkook knows about Jisoo having feelings for Taehyung! But then it means that Jungkook knows that his feelings are all one-sided.

"I like you, Kim Jisoo."

"Jungkook, I—" Jisoo was too stunned.

"But I know you don't feel the same way as I do.." Jungkook cut-off. "..and it's okay. All I wanted is to finally let this feelings be known so that I could start moving on."
