Jimin scanned the canteen, hoping to see a certain brunet somewhere on one of the tables. But after carefully glancing around at all the students in the canteen, he couldn't find the boy he was looking for. Sighing, he focused his attention back to his group of friends.

It wasn't the same anymore, though. Ever since Jungkook had been treating Taehyung so terribly, his friends couldn't pretend that everything was the same. "So, someone please give me some good news now because the last few weeks have been anything but good news. Jimin, Jungkook," The group all turned their attention to Hoseok who spoke up, intriguing them.

"Are you together again or what?" Hoseok questioned, Jimin turning to look at Jungkook for his response. The younger let out a sigh, leaning back in his chair.

"Look, I know you all probably hate me right now for treating Taehyung hyung like shit. But do you blame me? He came here known for sleeping around with guys carelessly and on the first day he got close to Jimin hyung. What was I supposed to expect? And then they actually fucking slept together. Do you think I'll be able to get over that so quickly? I just.. I can't stand knowing that you guys are angry with me, including you Jimin hyung"

The group fell silent, not knowing what to say. Yoongi, who was sat beside Jungkook, placed a hand on the younger's knee. "You did this in a completely stupid and immature way. You hurt Taehyung and made yourself look like the bad guy for no reason when we all know you haven't done anything wrong. But.. I understand. You were scared of losing Jimin and I know you handled it wrong but love makes you do stupid things. And as long as you quit acting like a stupid brat, I'm sure everyone can try to forget this" He said, smiling reassuringly at the younger.

Jungkook chuckled a little at Yoongi's words, playfully rolling his eyes. "Jimin?" The said boy was in deep thought when his name was called, causing him to let out a sigh.

"Jungkook.. You're not going to like what I say but you need to hear this before you make any sort of decision. You need to stop hating on Taehyung because he hasn't done anything wrong. He didn't make a move on me at all whilst we were friends and he never tried to get me into bed. And regarding what happened when we slept together, he was drunk. But.. I wasn't" Jimin confessed, the whole group falling dead silent.

"I feel horrible. I knew what I was doing but Taehyung didn't. It's not his fault we slept together, it's mine for not stopping it. I'm really sorry Jungkook and I know that this time you probably won't forgive me for this but please don't hate Taehyung, I'm the one to blame"

No one spoke for a while, everyone in complete shock that Jimin had kept such a big secret and decided to just now tell everyone about it. Hoseok slowly picked up his phone, trying to distract himself with it to avoid this very awkward conversation.

"You knew? You were sober when you slept with him? What the actual fuck, hyung? You're an asshole, I can't believe you" Jungkook stood up from the table grabbing his bag before turning to face Hoseok. "I'm sorry, hyung but you won't be getting any good news today because there is no way I'm getting back together with him. We're officially done" He said before leaving.

Hoseok sheepishly scratched the back of his neck, wondering why he even brought it up in the first place. In his defence, he thought there would be a better outcome than what just occurred.

"Jimin, why the fuck did you say that? He was about to get back together with you" Yoongi said, confused as to why Jimin just let his relationship end abruptly. "I couldn't let him make that decision before knowing the whole truth. He deserved to know the truth. If he found out later, it would be much worse" Jimin admitted. He didn't regret what he just confessed. He knew it was for the best.

"I agree with Jimin. Relationships can't be based off lies, Jungkook needed to know everything before jumping back into their relationship again." Jin spoke, his voice soft and quiet.

"So what now?" Hoseok asked.

Jimin simply shrugged his shoulders. "Jungkook's made up his mind. It's over. I just have to give him some time and hope that one day, he'll forgive me for what I did" He said half heartedly. He felt terrible, guilty and ashamed. He didn't want to hurt the younger but he knew he had to admit the truth.

Even if it meant losing the person he loved.

"And.. what happens with Taehyung now? Do you.. Do you by any chance have feelings for him?" Hoseok questioned, wondering if he should continue with his questions or not since the first time didn't turn out very well. But he couldn't help it, he was a very curious person.

Jimin heaved a sigh, shrugging his shoulders. "All I know is that I care about him a lot and I'd do anything to protect him and make sure he's okay. It hurts me when he's hurting and I just want to be there for him all the time. But I can't and that kills me inside" He admitted, surprising his friends a little.

"Wow.. maybe Jungkook did have something to worry about. Jimin, I think you might be falling for Taehyung" Yoongi commented, still trying to process this whole situation. Jimin didn't say a word, simply remaining silent as he let the guilt and shame slowly wash over him.

"Okay, so you guys both fucked up. Jungkook acted like a rude brat and you were a bit of a dick by sleeping with Taehyung. But I know both of you and I know that you're both amazing people who would never intentionally hurt one another. And.. if you really want to be with Taehyung then you could have handled it better than you did. We can tell that you care about him a lot, but you should've thought about Jungkook as well before focusing on your relationship with Taehyung" Yoongi spoke, not angry with Jimin but instead trying to help him.

Jimin slowly nodded his head. He knew he messed up and in the process he ended up losing two guys he cared about. But he wanted to make it right somehow. "Well I've told Jungkook everything now, I just need to give him time and space to heal" Jin nodded in agreement, placing his hand on Jimin's shoulder reassuringly.

"Hopefully he'll come around. But Jimin.. I didn't want to say anything before because it wasn't my place but I need to ask you something. I know you love Jungkook but were you truly happy in your relationship? I love Jungkook with all my heart but he didn't exactly treat you great whilst you were together. But you completely disregarded all of his snide comments and selfish actions. I know it's because you love him but sometimes you need to put yourself first as well" Jin spoke up, something he had been meaning to say for a while.

Hoseok slowly nodded his head in agreement since this was something the whole group had thought about. "We know you love him, Jimin, but even you had to admit that sometimes he wasn't that great to you" He admitted, feeling instantly guilty because he didn't want to say a bad word about his friend.

Jimin simply remained silent, letting his friends' words sink in.
