Taehyung's P.O.V

"Y-You want me to- what?" Jimin exclaims pouting almost.

Wow and this whole time I thought he'd be up to it. Say Yes To the Dress but saying yes to seducing someone who beat my best friend up. Jimin is a little baby not wanting to do anything wild. It's easy not saying I'd do it myself because I don't want Jin to think wrongly of me again. Not letting that happen again, I have to keep a good profile for him.

Jungkook mentally slaps himself looking at Jimin with worried eyes. Jimin shakes his head non stop I'm afraid his head will spin off. Jimin laughs nervously. "You have to." Yoongi cuts in.

"I have to? Who are you to think you can control my decisions?" Jimin snaps. Jungkook smirks. God he's so weird I don't get why he likes Jimin then again I bet he asks the same question as to why I like Jimin. "I'm not doing it." Jimin concludes.

"Do you want to help Jin and Taehyung or not?" Yoongi spits the question. "If not I'll make people hate you." Yoongi adds. That's a bit too much.

Jimin quivers under Yoongi's glare and words. I feel bad almost but this is what we have to do. Using Jin's best friend as bait to help our relationship is crazy yes but I have to do something. Seems pretty dark for me to do this but now it's like I have no other choice but do it. Sighing I lean on Jimin's kitchen counter. "Don't lean on that..." He starts off loud growing quiet. Jungkook grabs my arm pulling me off. What, does he live here now?

I roll my eyes. "All you have to do is talk to her. A script will be given to you so go off of that. We will record the whole thing." I explain to him hoping he'll understand and go along with it.

"What if it doesn't work?" Jimin snorts looking at me up and down. Jungkook gets close to Jimin and he quickly wipes the look off his face backing away from Jungkook.

"It will work." Yoongi retorted.

Everyone fell silent as we stared at Jimin who was hopefully thinking. He gives off different expressions making me worried even more than the situation with his head. He frowns, groans, pouts and sighs. "Fine. I'll do it."

"Yes!"- I jump.

"On one condition!" Jimin sneered.

"What?" I coaxed.

"That I'll be there to save you?" Jungkook brings up. Jimin glares at Jungkook now. Yoongi isn't amused.

"No," Jimin shakes his head. "I want you to beat up these guys who pick on me." Jimin said.

"Not doing it." I conclude.

"But"-

"Nope!" Jin told me not to turn to violence, I can't do that to his best friend. It might be a good thing on Jimins part but if Jin were to find out he'll just yell at me again. It will almost be helping but I know Jin won't like it. A phone goes off, a loud ring. Jimin pulls out his phone from his uniform pocket to answer. Jungkook at his ear eavesdropping on the person. Jimin pushes Jungkook away as he plugs his other ear to listen to the other line.

"Hoseok?" Jimin says.

Yoongi stiffens and Jungkook pulls himself away. Funny how those two have different reactions. What is Hoseok calling Jimin for? "Jin called you?!" Jimin exclaims covering his mouth.

"What?!" I go to grab the phone but Jimin ducks out of my reach. I hiss under my breath, how dare he.

"Why did he call you?" Jimin questions.

"Put him on the speaker, now!" I whisper yell. Jimin shakes his head. I almost throw my body and have the urge to slam my fist down on the counter. Jimin whines. "I'll help you with your damn bullies, now put him on speaker!" I whisper yell again.

Jimin smiles with evil eyes and immediately puts Hoseok on speaker. "Say that again, Hoseok."

Hoseok sighs, like it's so hard to say what's wrong with Jin. "Jin called me. He was crying and telling me about something that happened with Namjoon." My eyes widen and Yoongi even gaps. "I think we need to see him. Get back together for a while to comfort him." Hoseok tells Jimin.

I take in Yoongi's words that is right by my ear that catches me by surprise. "This is your time to go and comfort him yourself."

"I can't," I say back. "Not now."

"Why not? Tae, this is your time!" Yoongi pushes my buttons.

"Jimin, go. Go!" I yell.

Jimin grabs his phone and scurries out. "Make sure to leave before six"-

"Go!" I yell once again.

Jungkook runs off to Jimin as well, Yoongi doesn't go after him. With that the door is slammed shut. "What are you doing?" Jungkook comes back seconds later. Jimin probably told him off but he still wears that smirk.

"He needs space for whatever it is. Me showing up will cause more sadness." I added.

"Taehyung"- Jungkook quavered.

"Leave it alone," I sulk off. "I'm going home. Keep me updated, will ya?" I open Jimins front door.

"You got it." Yoongi answers.
