Jungkook, October 19, 2017

My life's a mess. My girlfriend left me and I'm left with Jimin here.

The club's getting packed with a lot of people. The lights are too dim for me to look at them. I didn't bother dancing too.

"you sure you're okay?" Jimin asks while drinking another shot. He's been there for me ever since the break up.

"I'm fine." I say while I feel my surroundings swirling around. The bartender gives me another shot. "I just need to drink this out."

"It's been almost a month. Are you sure you're handling this break up well?"

I lost Ji-eun. What more of this can I still handle?

"She'll come back." I lie to myself.

He snorts. "Ji-eun's already out there achieving her goals. Breaking up with you was inevitable."

"I didn't know I was such a burden to her singing career. I thought I was helping."

He places a hand on my back. I aprreciate the comfort. "She wasn't meant to be bounded. You two had your differences. Maybe it's fine this way. At least you get to focus more on what you want to do, right?"

"Thanks but I still feel like shit."

I turn to him when he falls silent. He smiles at me when I does. "How about this: we go party all night, meet some girls, get wrecked, and then let's play some video games at your place. Sounds about right?" He suggests.

Maybe it really is fine this way.

"Okay." I answer.

Jungkook, present day

Jimin stayed in that position for about 10 mississipis. I was startled by the kiss but then I couldn't even move. My eyes turn to the door and see Taehyung with his gasp wider than the circumference of the sun.

Jimin retrieves from my face and looks at where I am looking. He sees Taehyung as well but he does not feel any remorse or regret for what he did.

He tucks his hands in the pockets of his jacket. "Why the surprise look? Cat got your tongue?"

"I didn't think kissing your friends were allowed in this household." Taehyung spat back.

I almost choked.

Jimin nears Tae and towers him. "What are you going to do about it? Hugger?" Jimin cloaks.

I kind of regret telling him that right now.

Taehyung glaces at my direction in which I immediately look away. I don't want to be more embarrassed than I already am.

"Did you do that to get back at me? Didn't think your friendship with Jungkook was that intimate enough." Taehyung added.

"... Guys don't do this." I immediately intervene.

Jimin claps sarcastically. "Oh so there's a friendship now." He points on Taehyung's chest, proving a point. "You don't get to rule over JK because you were never there for him."

"and you think pushing yourself to him is a good idea since you're so close to him?" Taehyung raises his voice at him.
