CRUSH | JiKook

15

Slowly, from that day onwards, Jimin started to make his first move, by teasing Jungkook every chances he got.

And Jungkook just let him be.

This of course made Jimin fueled up even more.

He wanted to get closer to Jungkook so that the younger would open up to him more.

However, at the same time, Taehyung and Jungkook also had gotten closer which made Jimin took a step back, engulfed in his own insecurities.

Jin and Hoseok would always by his side, reassured him that Taehyung and Jungkook were just friends and nothing would certainly happen between them.

They comforted him and made him believed once again that he did have the chance.

Days passed by and once again, Jimin was being hit by his insecurities. This time, Jin and Hoseok could not do anything to reassure him since they could see that Jungkook had this lingering gaze towards Taehyung.

Everywhere Taehyung goes, the younger would go follow him.

Not only that, there was this moment, where there was something stuck in Taehyung's hair and Jungkook dusted it off by ruffling the older's hair – much to the members' surprise, since Jungkook was the kind of person who rarely or never at all to initiate any forms of skinship.

Jimin's heart broke at the rare sight.

Taehyung saw at the crestfallen expression of Jimin's and immediately swatted Jungkook's hand away from his hair.

It was as if Taehyung understood everything that he had started to avoid Jungkook whenever Jungkook was about to get closer to him.

He felt sorry for Jimin and somehow drew an invisible line between him and Jungkook.

Not until there was a rumor being spread amongst the members that Jungkook had feelings for Taehyung and before he could confess to the latter, the latter rejected him, by saying that he already had someone he likes – Park Bogum, from a different university.

Jungkook, heartbroken, started to skip his classes and club activities, and instead spent his time at the area behind the campus, where there were all greens and full of trees, and lied there, sky-gazing with Yoongi – the spot was actually Yoongi's, he found it accidentally while sauntering around the campus area, searching for a suitable place to nap.

Jimin, though also heartbroken by the news, also came around with Jin and Hoseok – the three of them skipped their classes in order to comfort the maknae.

While Namjoon only came around after his classes ended because he could not afford to skip his classes while having his final year.

Each seconds passed, pieces of Jimin's heart crumbled as he took sight of Jungkook's fragile feelings at that moment.

How he wished he could comfort the younger but being such a clueless person, he did not know what to do, so the only thing he could so was by being his side although it hurt him even more.
