Simply Hirai Momo (Bangtwice story)

35 - I don't want it

-Are you okay, Jimin-ssi?- Momo asked a little worried because of the boy behavior.
-Momo-ssi, what's going on between you, Taehyung and Jungkook?- he asked her serious.
Momo was surprised by that question. Actually she didn't even know what was happening, or maybe she knew it, but she couldn't explain it.
-I don't understand what you're talking about- she answered, pretending not to understand what he meant.
-Momo please, you know what I'm talking about. Do you think I didn't notice the looks that the two guys exchange each time one of them talks about you, or when you give more attention to one rather than another? Have you forgotten that I share the room with them? I tried to ignore it, but the limit is being exceeded. They are both my friends and we are part of the same group. I wouldn't want to ruin everything for such a thing...- he explained.
Momo listened carefully to his words and the more he went on in that speech, the more she realized that she was making a mess. She was aware that the two boys had feelings for her, but the problem was that she was attracted to both: the two boys were so different, and each of them in his own way made her feel good. But she couldn't be selfish and keep one foot in two shoes! She absolutely didn't want to cause problems to their group, but above all to their friendship. Jimin's words hurt her, but they opened her eyes to the whole situation: she had to get away from Jungkook and Taehyung for their good.
A small tear escaped her control. Jimin noticed it, and he realized that maybe he had been too hard: after all, Momo wasn't the only one involved. Maybe he should have talked to the two friends first. He tried to wipe away the tear with his thumb.
-Momo, excuse me. I was too hard. I shouldn't have come to talk to you this w-
The girl stopped his words and his attempt to wipe away her tears, blocking his wrist before his hand could touch her face.
The boy was surprised at her gesture, she didn't even look into his eyes, but her head was turned down.
-Jimin-ssi you are right. I apologize for that. It was not my intention to create problems within your group. I don't know what's happening, or maybe I know but I find it hard to admit it. The boys have shown me to feel feelings for me and I, rather than crushing everything from the beginning, let the situation get complicated. The problem is that I realized that my feelings for them are not clear. Thanks to you, however, I understood that there must be no feeling, because this could damage our groups. And I don't want it. This is why it is best if I stay away from them for a while. Thank you so much for opening my eyes and forgive me again- she said, still with her head down and talking in a low voice.
It was clear she wasn't happy of all that situation.
Without giving him the chance to reply, Momo, after making a small bow to greet him, left at a brisk pace to reach Hoseok in the gym and practice.
Practicing would have been her only priority in those two weeks that remained before the end of everything.
Jimin, with his eyes wide open because of the speech made to him by the girl, watched her go, unable to say anything.
He had wanted to talk to her only to have explanations, but now he began to think that maybe it was better if he let it go. But he didn't want the group to feel the tension between the three of them.
Embittered, he too left.

When Momo reached Hoseok, the boy noticed the girl's swollen eyes and he worried.
-Momo, are you okay?
Did something happen? Your eyes are bright and swollen- he asked, approaching her with a worried face.
-Oh no, it's everything okay. I hit the door with my foot and I got a little sick, but now I'm better. Let's begin?- she explained, giving him a smile and inventing a lie and trying to be as credible as possible.
Hoseok looked at her closely, not at all convinced of her words, but he didn't want to pressure her with other questions. For this he decided to pretend to believe her words, nodding. He smiled at her and he went to turn on the stereo to start dancing.

Immediately after the practice, the girls ate quickly because of the meeting they had with JYP, right after lunch.
Instead, the boys ate lunch quietly: they would enjoy a nice, relaxing afternoon waiting for the girls to return.
Once ready, the girls went down to the ground floor and greeted the boys, who were still sitting at the table, before leaving.
-Bye Noona! See you later!- Jungkook said to Momo, with a happy tone.
Taehyung snorted at the boy's childish attitude.
But Momo, contrary to previous times, did not even deign to turn to the boy and answer him. The only thing she did was raise her hand in greeting, continuing to walk and leaving the house.
Jungkook was puzzled. Momo hadn't paid him the slightest attention. He was very upset and Jimin noticed it: he felt guilty now.
-Jungkook, don't be sad, something must have happened to her before the practice. She joined me in the room with swollen eyes: she had clearly cried, but she didn't want to tell me anything. She fell silent for the whole hour and thought only about dancing.- Hoseok explained
Jungkook said nothing, but wondered why Momo had cried, but above all why she hadn't gone to confide in him, since they had become closer in those days.
Jimin tried to mitigate the sense of guilt in knowing he had made her cry, continuing to repeat himself in his head that he had done it for the group.
But instead of feeling better, he always felt worse and more uncomfortable.
Jin realized that something was wrong and he had the impression that Jimin knew something. He then began staring at the youngest, who, when he realized he was fixed, tried to figure out who it was.
As soon as he met the elder's gaze, he immediately looked away and it was that moment that Jin understood: Jimin knew.
