Chapter 37: The art of Seduction

Jimin's POV

Before Baekhyun could explain any further I apologised to Kyungsoo and explained that it would probably be more than "just a minute". He said he'd go make our food so I could chat with Baekhyun privately.

"Okay so, slow down, you broke what?" I asked him across the phone. He took a moment to take a deep breath and calm down before explaining what had happened.

"Well, I wanted to be a nice boyfriend and tidy up some of the mess Tae and I had left around his bedroom over the past few days of us staying together. But as I reached up to dust the top of his shelves I accidentally knocked off the glass jewellery box Tae's great grandma left him when she passed... and of course it smashed cause it's glass! I just don't know what to do or say or if I can even fix this mess I've made... he's gonna hate me."

When he finally finished I could tell he was crying again and I could hear him trying to pick up the shards of broken glass.

"Baekhyun leave the glass you'll cut yourself, at least use a dustpan and brush. And hey, stop crying, I promise it'll be okay. I know Tae, he's not likely to get mad. He'll be upset, and he'll probably need some time alone after you tell him, because you need to tell him... but after leaving him a day or two, the best way for you to make it up to him is to just surprise him with something that shows how much you love him."

I heard him sigh and could imagine him wiping his tears away, "Thank you Jimin, I'm dreading having to tell him but of course it's the best thing, he'll understand... like you said, Tae's too loving to get mad, I just feel so guilty. But anyway, thank you for the help, I'll figure something out, I don't know what I'd do without you Jiminie."

I smiled and giggled a little at his appreciation, "You're very welcome Baekhyun, I'm glad I could at least be of some comfort, good luck, and just remember it'll all work out okay. Goodbye~" we said our goodbyes just as Kyungsoo walked through the door with pizza.

"I hope everything's okay?" He asked and I nodded, "trouble in paradise... but it'll be fine." I laughed and thanked him for the food as we begun to eat.

~ time skip to the next daayyyy ~

The next day at school started out a little awkward for our whole group I believe... I was the only one who knew about what had happened between Tae and Baek, and it seemed Taehyung was extremely upset about the loss of his Great Grandmas jewellery box...

The couple were staying a reasonable distance apart all day, not avoiding each other as such, just not taking the time to greet each other or sit beside each other, and our other friends seemed to catch on that something wasn't right between the two. But they dared not question it.

Other than that my morning was fine... until it reached break, I stepped out of my geography class just as Jungkook finished P.E. Now I usually don't get jealous when Jungkook's chats to the girls within our friendship group, because I know we're all friends.

But apparently today was different.

Jungkook met Jieun and I as we were leaving geography and of course he hugged me like usual but then he proceeded to wrap an arm round Jieun's shoulder and began telling her this hilarious story about what had happened in his P.E. class.

Seemingly forgetting I was even there.

"How was your morning Jungkookie?" I called and he turned slightly, "wait a sec Jimin." Was his only response before he continued talking to IU.

They were laughing loudly together as I walked behind, I didn't bother to pay attention to what they were talking about. I was conflicted with my own feelings, I felt jealous, but I also was annoyed with myself for feeling jealous...
