Subliminal Power | Jikook Story

But

* 1 week later*

Walking down the red carpet wearing fancy suits and fans cheering them on. They had smiles plastered on their face as they waved at them and posed for pictures. It was MAMA, one of the biggest awards in Korea. There would be big promotions and stages for each group. Fans would go crazy just to get a spot there and cheer on their idols. It happened every year.

After pictures they were guided to their table. They sat there looking around and waving at fans. They took a sip of their waters that were on the table. From there they had to wait until more idols arrived. Around 20 minutes in Jungkook got up and left. They all watched as he walked away.

They all shrugged indicating that they didn't know where he was going. Hoseok took out his phone.

"I'll text him." He said. And they all nodded.

"You don't need to, he's with Rosè." Yoongi pointed at them.

They were hugging with faces close to eachother. Their eyes never seemed to leave one another as they smiled, talked, and laughed.

"He's so in love." Jin remarked.

"Y-yeah." Jimin slumped back in his chair. He looked away, his heart ached very badly. The people around them were screaming very loud and recording them. Jimin only hoped it would end soon.

He looked back up to his table and saw Taehyung glancing at him a couple of times.

"You okay?" Taehyung mouthed.

Jimin only nodded and looked at his fingers. Tears were threatening to come out. He didn't want to cry, he couldn't it would just bring unnecessary attention.

Throught the whole award it seemed like everybody was focused on the performances by groups and the awards that were being presented. All but....Jungkook. He was on his phone the whole entire time. The members would tell him to get off and pay attention but he would avoid them.

Jimin wondered what could possibily be more important than watching amazing artist perform. He looked around to see if anyone else was on their phone. His eyes landed one particular person. Rosè. She was indeed on her phone too.

"How disrespectful." He whispered.

"What was that?" Namjoon leaned over to him.

"Nothing." He replied.

By now it was time for them to perform. They were backstage getting ready, doing sound check and vocal check. They were very nervous because they felt pressured to do well so that their fans wouldn't be dissapointed.

"Alright guys we have to give this performance our all. We've come to far to let our fans down okay? We got this! I believe in us!" Namjoon yelled to the members.

They all yelled an 'okay' as they put their hands together as a way of giving luck to eachother.

They performed some of their best hits. Dancing like there was no tomorrow and singing gracefully. At the end they were sweating like crazy. Jimin would often give glances to Jungkook. His heart would race everytime he would see Jungkook sweaty and tired, it made him feel all sorts of ways.

They stood there as two people came up to them with awards.

"We would like to present 3 awards BTS has won including, 'Best Group', 'Best Choreography', and 'Album of the Year'." The announcer said smiled as they handed the members the trophies.

Namjoon pulled the mic closer to him and gave a speech. It was something common for each group to do. It was to thank the fans for supporting them. At the end the fans cheered for them very loud. Jungkook ran to the mic and said,

"And thanks to my girlfriend too." He giggled and walked off. Everyone there found it funny. Jimin did not, it hurt him even more.

It was late at night and Jimin was drawing in his sketchbook. He really wanted to calm down after the day. Not once could he go on his phone without seeing reports of Jungkook and Rosè. It angered him and hurt him to the point where Jimin wanted to disappear.

He pressed his pencil hard on the book to take out his anger. The paper would rip occasionally but he didn't care. That's when he received a notification from his phone.

'BTS IS LIVE!' It read.

He was confused, they were live? Without him?

He opened it to see all the members in Jungkook's room with food on the table and wine. They were saying how grateful they were about winning the awards.

Tears ran down Jimin's face as he saw that they no longer cared about him being in a live with them. Normally they would gather everyone in one room and not start it until they were all in frame. You would think that all he had to do was walk in and join but how could he when he's been betrayed by them. Twice!

Comments fled saying "where's Jimin?" "Is Jimin okay?" But all they did was ignore it. Until Jungkook finally spoke out.

"Oh Jimin hyung is busy right now so he couldn't make it." He lied.

Jimin had enough, he felt lost, helpless, and betrayed by the people that were supposed to support him and be there for him. He couldn't believe that they were all slowly changing for the worse.

"Nice friends." Jimin said crying.
