Behind The Curtain ~ BTS (Wattys 2018)

•chapter twenty-three•

Unexpectedly, a fist connected to Jimin's face but it wasn't fully impacted since yoongi pulled the younger boy away. "How could you do this to me!" Jungkook yelled as it caught the attention of the security and staff of bighit. They were currently waiting for the meeting to begin when jungkook bursted through the door in rage. As security held back the maknae, bighit officials and staff stood confused at his actions which some found unprofessional. "What's happening?" Their manager questioned before the head of bighit arrived. "he knew about my relationship with Jade and kissed her." "You was in a relationship with her?" The manager asked surprised and the boys answered for him. "I am, I still am" the manager rubbed his head in frustration, "this whole meeting was about jimin and Jade's relationship. Why didn't you tell us from the beginning?!" "I know how you guys are about distractions!" The boys settled as the head of bighit came and the results ended with an angered jungkook storming out of the business office.

As dance practice ended namjoon paused the two males and address them seriously. "Fix this...now, we can't be like this." He ordered them sternly as the rest of the boys left. For a moment, the room was left in silence. "I apologise, hyung." Jimin began. "I knew better and did the opposite, I always liked her but I thought I could've suppress those feelings but I couldn't." He got nervous a bit since kookie remained silent. "It wasn't her fault, so don't shut her out. I tried fixing it, you saw me reject the offer of a fake relationship but we're in contract..we do as they say." The silence became threatening but jungkook finally spoke. "You could've talk to me about it, hyung. We're both adults now, I didn't appreciate you doing that...and what's even hurtful now is that we can never be seen together now." He whispered the last bit. "I'll try and fix this but for right now we just have to play along." "It's your fault" jungkook pouted making a small smile come on jimin face. "I can't change the past but...I can do something to make the future better." Finally the two males made eye contact and he saw the tears in the maknae eyes. "Just don't betray me again..please, because I can't take being mad at any of you" jimin opened his arms slowly inviting the bandmates and best friend into his embrace. "I love you, hyung" "you too shorty" jimin pushed the boy away and jungkook pulled his phone out and immediately texted his lover. "We need to talk." He texted to his lover

Jade POV
I excused myself from the studio and sat on an empty staircase in the hallway. I face timed Kookie and I smiled softly "Annyeonghaseyo" I whispered and he gave me a small smile. "Hi noona" "I practiced a bit..I still am." He nodded and I could sense his off personality, he didn't look mad but he wasn't happy. "I needed to talk to you about something" I sigh "the jimin situation?" He nodded and I exhaled softly. "I shouldn't have pushed him, if I mind my own business-" "it's not your fault." He cut me off. "Do you like him?" I shook my head, "as a friend, yes but that's it..I promise" jungkook stared at me with his round eyes for a moment before looking away with a sniffle. "Allergies?" He nodded while moving away from the camera to wipe his nose. "Please don't let this affect the group.." I whispered and he just stared at me "we already sort that out." A short silence fell upon us "I miss you, noona and I'm sorry" I played with my painted nails before looking back at him. "It's fine, baby boy." "Just so you know...I'm not--nothing is happening between me and Da-eun" I trust him and I want to believe him but something about his 'friend' turns me off. "Okay..." I laid back on the steps as he began to speak again. "How's the album?" I yawn and smiled "coming along quite quickly. It's basically done" he smiled "good, I know it will top the charts." I stayed quiet a little bit before looking at my manager that called me. "I have to go, I love you baby boy." He nodded. "I love you more, jagi" I blushed "I doubt it" I joked and he just looked away. "Trust me, you don't know"
