TOGETHER

EIGHT

" Jimin? Why do you still have a key to Jungkook's lake house? Are you not broken up?" Yoongi grumbles against the afternoon sun beating down on his hung over self.

They all move through the thicket of bushes. The property where the Jeon Lake house is situated, covered by it. So long that it has been alone.

Almost 2 years... and when Jimin opens the door, it creaks loud in sad greeting, as if Jimin were a long missed friend.

The silence...

The silence of the house is so loud that Jimin wants to run out screaming, or kick up a ruckus just so that it wouldn't feel so...

Dead.

" Yes, they are. God Yoongi! Where have you been this whole 3 years?!" Taehyung hisses at his grumpy hyung.

Yoongi doesn't spare--Taehyung-- 'this brat' a reply.

They all move around the spacious living room as if they're afraid to disturb the grand decor of real oak and the musty air of nature with all the figurines on the wall.

" So, I'm cutting to the point. why have you brought us here? Yes! Its weird you have a key still, but I don't care, what I want to know is why? Why isn't Jungkook here too? Why haven't either of you answered our calls since freaken the end of winter break??!" Jin shrieked, asking questions in a hysterical rapid fire, all aimed at Jimin.

Jimin pales with every word and he looks to Taehyung for some help, but even his energetic friend looks afraid and bedraggled

Worried...

" I can't say this to you, I can only show you. I mean...I didn't want this! I didn't want to do this!" Jimin yells and his eyes tear up and everyone so confused.

They all pale even more and the cold air in this house belies the warm heat of summer outside.

" Jimin! What the fuck are you talking about right now?! What the fuck!" Namjoon growls, narrowing his eyes at Jimin and he knows, this shit is no longer a joke.

Instead of giving them an answer, Jimin wipes at his eyes and he slips a USB stick into the flat screen in front of them.

The screen crackles and lights up to reveal a smiling Jungkook, his cute bunny teeth protruding and his cheeks strained with how wide he is smiling.

The video was made in his room on campus, the mess in the background indication of how he hadn't bothered to care what they thought.

So like Jungkook.

" Jungkook?" Hosoek breathes in confusion.

The video plays and everyone settles to listen and Jimin disappears into the kitchen to get some brandy.

I hope the camera's in a good angle. I really wouldn't want to look like hell if this is my last...

Anyway, My cheeks hurt and I really don't feel like smiling..

But I also don't want my friends to worry about me.

Today's the start of winter break and just another step to me having to come clean about the idiotic things I've done.

All the people I hurt.

God, will Jimin ever forgive me?

Namjoon?

Jin?

Yoongi?

Stupid and care free TaeSeok?

I just don't know and its not like I can expect that, I mean 3 years..that fucking long time to keep a secret. And they love me so much..
