Better Now [Book 2]

Chapter 4

Jimin stared at Jungkook in a daze, finding him so familiar that it was pissing him off. He scrunched his nose and narrowed his eyes, trying to look threatening. Instead, he just got a sad look from Jungkook in return. He turned around, not wanting to look at Jungkook any longer. He filled up his cup with wine and drank it all in one gulp.

Letting go of his self-control, he poured one cup after another. Part of him felt anger and another part of him felt betrayal. These emotions were mostly associated with one person. Jeon Jungkook. Even though he was almost blackout drunk, he could tell it was him just by thinking about what he associated those two emotions with.

As he was about to pour his tenth cup of wine, he felt a hand stop him. "Stop drinking so much, it's not good for you." Jungkook said quietly. He was almost scared to touch Jimin in case he snapped. He knew how angry Jimin was at him. It didn't take much for him to know when Jimin literally left without letting him explain.

Just as he thought, Jimin snapped. Jimin roughly pushed Jungkook's hand away, looking at him with a face full of disgust. Something inside of Jungkook just broke when he saw it. "Don't touch me you piece of shit!" He yelled, stumbling on his words just slightly. Jungkook almost couldn't tell that Jimin was nearly wasted.

Yeonjun sobered up at this and immediately tried to hold back Jimin. Taeyong on the other hand was just sleeping on the table, letting out little snores every so often. "Dude, don't do that. He's the scary CEO I was telling you about." Yeonjun whispered in his ear. Jimin pushed him away.

"That's exactly why he's a piece of shit!" He yelled at the top of his lungs, catching the attention of everyone at the bar.

Before Jimin could physically fight Jungkook, Taehyung embraced his best friend with a hug. "It's been a while, Jimin. You remember me, right?" Taehyung asked, hugging Jimin even tighter. When Jimin returned the hug, he knew for sure that Jimin remembered. Jungkook was secretly seething in jealousy, but he knew that he actually had no right to be jealous.

The rest of the group joined, hugging Jimin. All of them except Jungkook. None of them asked Jungkook to join either, because they all knew that it just wasn't right. How could they ask Jungkook to join the hug when he was the reason why Jimin suffered so much during the past year? It would be disrespectful to Jimin and they knew that Jimin needed their support way more than Jungkook did.

To Jimin, he missed them dearly throughout the past year. He felt tears drip down his cheeks while they all hugged him tightly. He felt thankful that Jungkook wasn't included, because he knew that he didn't want Jungkook anywhere near him. Jungkook didn't even deserve to see him, much less hug him. The entire fibre of his body is seething in hate for Jungkook, and that's nothing but obvious.

Yeonjun finally figured out why Jimin seemed to be so casual with such a luxurious bar. The fact that all of Jungkook's friends knew him made it even more obvious. Jimin clearly had some kind of past with Jungkook, he just didn't know what. If he had to be honest, he also had indirect history with Jungkook. He just hoped that Jimin wasn't the reason why he had such a bad history with Jungkook.

After the hug broke, they all started comforting Jimin, trying to make him stop crying. Jungkook wanted to try and fix his relationship with Jimin although he knew that Jimin wouldn't comply. He knew that it wouldn't work no matter how hard he tried, but he was willing to go as far as he could if it meant that Jimin could possibly give him another chance.

He hated himself for breaking Jimin's trust three times. He really did, but he couldn't do anything but ask for another chance. Slowly, he gathered up the confidence to try and ask Jimin for another chance. He at least wanted Jimin to know the full story before he went and put all the blame on him. He slowly walked up to Jimin, breaking slightly when he saw the face of disgust directed at him from Jimin again.
