My Brother's Best Friend

Chapter 13

"Um, Never Have I Ever lied to my friends or family about a relationship." She looked toward Jungkook and I punched her in the arm before he and I both put down one finger each, Jimin's eyes stayed glued to Jungkook's hand as his eyes filled with anger. "Maybe a game wasn't the best idea." Chen whispered under her breath and we all agreed, sitting back in our seats and attempting to move on from the situation.

"Jimin can I talk to you, just us. And I want you to actually listen." Jungkook's words left his mouth, his voice was shaky, but he sat up straight trying to seem confident, my brother nodded, and they walked to his room in silence. My attention travelled to Chen who avoided looking back at me before I cleared my throat. Her head shot towards mine as guilt flooded her eyes and disgust ran through mine.

/JUNGKOOK'S POV/

Jimin and I walked to his room in an uncomfortable silence as he stormed off in front of me, reaching his door first. He swung the door open and waited for me to enter before slamming the door shut behind me, my feet dragged across the floor as I sunk down onto his bed, waiting for the confidence boost I needed to start the conversation. Jimin glared at me as his eyes looked dull and lifeless- I must've really hurt him.

"Hyung I-" I started to talk, still trying to find the right words but he cut me off before I could properly begin.

"Don't call me that. Don't use formalities when you clearly don't respect me." Rolling his eyes as he spoke, he mirrored my actions and dragged his feet toward the bed, sitting next to me with hatred in his tone.

"Sorry, Jimin." I corrected myself to calm him down and he scoffed at me as soon as I continued my speech. "I am sorry, I didn't want to break our promise and it kills me that I did but, I'm not using her." My voice was weak as my best friend refused to look at me.

"We swore we would never touch either of our siblings- it's worse that my best friend is the one that broke that promise for my sister. She's the reason I created that rule." His words were coated with anger, I knew that had to defuse this situation if I wanted to save the relationship that I'd earned with him.

"No, we promised not to use or hurt the other's siblings. I'm not doing either of those things Jimin. I love her too much to cause her any pain!" I accidentally raised my voice and Jimin's head turned to me slowly, almost refusing to accept the tone I was using with him, just as I was about to apologise, he cut me off once again.

"You don't love her." He spat his words at me, I knew he was hurt but he wasn't allowed to assume my feelings, I was starting to get angry until he wrapped his arm over my shoulder and lowered his voice, almost reluctant to do so. "If you love her, this friendship is over..." His words trailed off into a whisper as he looked into my eyes, basically begging me not to choose his sister over him, I love her, but he's my best friend.

"You know I've always told myself that friends come before relationships," I spoke quietly as his hard expression softened and his frown morphed into a small grin. "I'd never chose anyone over Bangtan especially you hyung." He laughed as his eyes closed, forming his signature eye smile. Jimin pulled my head into his chest and hugged me while rubbing his knuckles against my hair, I pushed him off and giggled with him as the door to his room opened lightly.

A figure stood against the door frame, resting against her arm, her small frame seemed weak and hunched as she stepped into the room. "Are you guys okay now?" She questioned, her voice was just as weak as her stature as she ran her hands through the long hair falling into her face- she was definitely Jimin's sister, that habit must run in the family. I laughed to myself before turning my attention to the man next to me whose mood seemed more upset than usual.

"What's wrong?" He asked her as she walked closer to us.

"I had a fight with unnie, she was using me. Just like everyone else. She just wanted you." Her arm lifted and pointed toward Jimin who dropped his head to the floor, rejecting any eye contact. "I'm okay though, I have you guys." She chirped up excitedly which crushed my heart, I can't love her and maintain my friendship. "Right?" Y/N's voice was trembling, she must've noticed how the atmosphere became tense when she said that. Jimin went to speak but I had to take control and accept responsibility for my choices.
