.Jimin.

.Flashback.

"Can we go home?" Jungkook leaned on my shoulder. We were sitting outside behind the school near the kids on their smoke breaks. He played with a flower, squishing it between his fingers. Once that flower was destroyed, he plucked another one from the grass between us.

"We still have a whole day of class Kookie. You're never late for class." I chuckled and ruffled the top of his hair, then leaning my head back against the building and just taking the nice day.

"I don't wanna go back though." He finished that flower and tossed it off too. He then picked a small purple daisy and just twirled it between his hands, not even daring to put any force into it, as if it was the most precious thing he had ever held in his hands.

"Hm?"

"I love Jiminie hyung." He whispered, fingers fondling the petals of the flower oh-so gently. I slowly looked back down at him. "I r-really like Taehyung too." I watched as his cheeks softly redden and reached over to raise the collar of his blazer to protect his neck from the breeze that had his hair flipping all over. "K-Kookie dunno what to do hyung." He looked up at me.

"Taehyung?"

"I-I wanna like him, hyung. Like I like you." He whispered this. I instantly felt my heart drop after hearing that...that I wasn't the only one this important to him. "If only I hadn't fallen for you...I might have been able to like him too."

"H-huh?" I didn't know how to feel. But all I could feel were the drops rolling down my cheeks which i quickly wiped away. He noticed soon after, but only sat up and scooted away. I looked over at him and he stared back at me.

"I didn't want to leave him hyung. But I kept thinking about you!" His eyes started to gloss over, and I flinched when he snapped at me. "K-Kookie dunno what to do anymore hyung. He l-loves Jimin hyung...b-but Taehyung too." His bottom lip quivered harshly and I instantly brought him into my arms and let him cry on me.

"I-It's okay Jungkookie. I'm sorry, we'll both always be there for you." I softly pet the back of his hair. "Hyung loves you too." I whispered.

.Flashback over.

I sighed and fell back on to my bed, running my fingers through my hair frustratedly. I don't know what to do anymore. I love Jungkook with every fiber of my being but he claims to feel that way about Taehyung too... as if I wasn't the only person there for him through everything. Taehyung was the one spreading rumors about why he came to school crying every day, but it was me who told the other kids to leave him alone. I was the one always there for him, I'm the only one he should be in love with! D-did I not love him enough to the point where I have to share my special place in his life with someone he's only known for a couple weeks? I could only blame myself for making him upset and confusing him with my feelings.

I picked up my phone and called Hobi hyung, hopefully he was home because I really need someone to talk to. I try not to bother Namjoon hyung much anymore, since he and Jin are so close and I don't want to get between them.

"Hey Jimin, what's up?" Hoseok's cheery voice thrived from the other end.

"Are you home hyung?" I sniffled.

"A-are you crying Minnie?" He asked softer, but only then did a tear fall down my cheek.

"No." I mumbled.

"I'll pick you up so we can walk to Namjoon's house together. Pack your stuff and get ready to tell me everything." He mumbled out while clearly doing some heavy lifting.

"C-can you stay on the phone though?" I felt better just knowing that someone cared.

"Of course my little Jiminie, I'll stay as long as you want me to."

"Thank you hyung." I softly giggled.

"The snow is so heavy outside so dress warmly hm?"

"Yes hyung, I will." Warmth was thriving through my body, this is why I love talking to him. He always makes me feel loved and cared for. We spoke all throughout his walk to my house and I found that I hadn't even started packing once he arrived.

"Oh hey Hoseok, what are you doing here?" I heard my mom answer the door. I excitedly jumped from my bed and ran down the stairs. I jumped on him, wrapping my arms and legs around his body, and scaring my mom.

"I came to pick up little Minnie." He cooed and ruffled my hair.

"Are you guys going somewhere? In this weather?"

"You didn't tell your parents about the sleepover Jimin?" Hyung gasped. I slowly got back down onto my feet.

"I couldn't find the time, o-oops." I chuckled guiltily.

"Well there's a sleepover with all of our friends, over Namjoon's boyfriend's house." He smirked after saying that while I stood there shocked. "And I was gonna pick up Jiminie to go to Namjoon's house and so when we go to the sleepover, we can all go together. He explained quickly to my mom.

"Is Taehyung going? Why aren't you taking him too?" Hoseok stared at me, not really knowing what to say.

"H-he left already. He's at Namjoon's boyfriend's house already." I lied. I didn't know where he was, just not here.

"You boys have fun, and stay out of trouble. If anyone messes with you, you know who your father is." My mom chuckled, referring to my dad's new job. We both promised to be good and she walked off.

"So where's your stuff Jiminie?" Hoseok started up the stairs.

"U-um, I forgot to pack."

"That's fine, I'll just text Namjoon to go pick up Jungkook since we'll be a while packing." He playfully rolled his eyes. I blushed and followed behind him.

...

"So what were the tears about Jiminie?" He looked down at my pile of clothes as he helped me fold them. I loaded them into my bag after he was done.

"I-I had another fight with Jungkook." I sighed.

"Of course." He nodded. "Only you two can make each other cry over nothing." He chuckled and handed me my pajama pants.

"But it isn't over nothing hyung! H-he doesn't understand why he loves me. But he's upset because he wants to love Taehyung, but can't without thinking of me." I groaned, pulling at my hair. "It doesn't make any sense but I understand at the same time."

"So he loves both of you... but he doesn't get a choice on whether or not he loves you. He will no matter what. But he wants to love Taehyung too, but doesn't know how to do that without thinking of you." He softly explained, taking my bag from me and packing my stuff myself. "Because you were his first love, and he feels guilty about feeling that way about anyone else."

"O-oh, I didn't think of it l-like that."

"You can't get upset and him or Taehyung for this Jiminie. Sometimes love just happens, sometimes you can choose. Jungkookie fell in love with Jiminie but wants to love Taehyung." He cooed in a small voice, tucking all of my clothes snug in my bag. "All packed! Go get your coat and shoes and meet me at the door!" Hobi cheered as he started for the door. But not without freezing up as soon as he turned around.

"J-Jungkook l-loves me?" Taehyung dropped his coat that he was holding in his hand, it fell to the floor with a thud, and my heart did the same.
