Teaser:
Kim Seokjin has a journal. Boring, right?
Wrong.
All of his friends know that he has one, but he has never let anyone look inside.
One day, that changes.
BOOM his biggest secret is out, and his life takes a turn for the better or for the...
Silence filled the room, the only sound being a soft gasp as Namjoon clamped is hand over his mouth. "Sh*t."
"..."
"W-what...?" Seokjin's gulps, his breath and heartbeat quickening. "Please tell me I heard wrong."
"J-Joonie I..." Jin laughs nervously. "Um... I... how?..."
"..."
"Jin... I don't know how else to say this but... Jungkook read us your journal-" Namjoon starts to mutter.
"He WHAT?!" Jin suddenly shouts, the small audience flinching in surprise. Jin turns to Jungkook, slightly shoving his chest, fuming. "I won't ask you again! You. Did. WHAT??!!"
Taehyung grabs Jungkook's hand and steps in front of him, almost like he's protecting him. "We swear we were only trying to help-"

"H-HOW COULD YOU!? HOW COULD ALL OF Y-" Jin chokes on a sob as tears spill over his eyes. He hunches over in his hands and cries softly, his broad shoulders shuddering with each cry.
Jungkook slowly steps up to responsibility, shaking in his boots. "I just wanted you to find someone. I just wanted you to be happy! I-"
Jin snaps and grabs Jungkook's collar, his fists turning white as he bundles the cloth tightly between his fingers. "NAMJOON. IS. F*CKING. STRAIGHT. YOU- YOU- AGHHH!" He shoves the tear-filled eyes of the maknae away.
"... I didn't know he'd react this way... I'm sorry..." Jungkook half-whispers, equally scared and sorry.
Meanwhile, Namjoon, unable to find any words, stares at his feet silently for like the 100th time today. Tears threaten to spill out of his eyes again. He knows he hurt Jin, but is it his fault he doesn't feel the same way?
"Wait, do I feel the same way?" Namjoon ponders. "I mean Jin is attractive, but that's just what everyone thinks. He's witty, and funny, and always makes me smile. But that's just because we're friends. Just friends... Right? I mean I hold hands with him sometimes. But that's because I'm clingy... I'm a clingy friend... A clingy friend. Clingy friend. Friend."
"Do friends give you butterflies though, like he does when he hugs you?" Joon ignores the cry from his heart and looks up to see Seokjin staring at him with desperate and teary eyes. "Gosh, that look is breaking me."
"Um... Joon... " Jin starts, softly, but manages to make Namjoon flinch anyway. "... D-do you think we can still be friends? I- I promise I won't be so clingy if it makes you uncomfortable, and I won't hug you if it makes you uncomfortable. The last thing I want to do is make you uncomfortable." Jin starts to ramble.
"I won't hold hands or anything if you don't want me to. Oh and you don't have to worry about my emotions. I'll get over you! I promise! And we can just pretend this never happened and-"
"No." The lone syllable leaves Namjoon's mouth and he swears he can hear his Jinnie's heart break into a billion pieces.
"... W-What?"
"NO." He says a little louder as his brain goes haywire.
"What are you doing?! Of course you want to still be friends with him!" Namjoon's thoughts are screaming at his words, but his mouth seems to have a different idea.
"You said you didn't want me to be uncomfortable..."
"No! Stop it! He'll hate you! Stop!"
"And so it would be best if I..."
"You're hurting him! Stop talking! Don't say anything wrong-"
"Um... It would be b-best if I n-never saw you again."
