Jikook: Marriage of Convenience

<5>

When he got out of the shower and walked back into the bedroom, Jungkook was awake and was looking confused. He looked up and saw his best friend, "Damn Jimin, put on some clothes!" Jimin smirked at him. "Hey where's the hoe I fucked last night?" Jimin frowned at Jungkook, now realizing he didn't remember their special night, like always. "Umm, I don't know Kookie." He answered softly, he was disappointed but as always, he didn't want to ruin his friendship so he stayed silent. Jimin grabbed some clothes and left the room so Jungkook couldn't see his tears.

     Jimin left the house where he and Jungkook had shared the most intimate experience to date, but as per usual Jungkook conveniently forgot about what happened. He ran into Jin and Tae who were heading to the studio to finish some tracks.

     "Jimin baby, what's wrong, why are you crying?" Asked Jin. "Yeah, what did that jerk do this time?!" Tae questioned his sweet friend, knowing he only cried over Jeon.

     Jimin peeked at them through tear laced eyes, "umm, I don't want to say," Jimin answered, trying to deflect any anger from Jungkook. But they knew, they've known. They found Jimin at the dance studio one night after he and Jungkook had oral sex. He was so hurt that he blabbed everything to his two friends.

      Jin grabbed his smaller friend and wrapped his long arms around him, Tae joined in. "Come on Jimin, let's go get some ice cream and if you want you can tell us about it, ok?!" Jimin nodded and the trio went to the ice cream shop near their studio.

     "Wow!" Exclaimed Tae, "so you guys finally had sex, holy shit!" Jin smacked him hard on the arm, "Ouch, Jin, WTF?!" "Tae, you don't have to say it so loud, ok?" Tae looked down, ashamed at his outburst, he never wanted to hurt his friend.

     "Look Jimin it just seems awfully convenient that Jeon forgets when you two do something. Seems like bullshit to me!" Tae told him confidently, he just wanted his friend to see how bad Jungkook has been treating him.

     "No, no, he was drunk and high so I don't think he realized it was me,"Jimin defended him. "Lies," answered Tae, "you said he called out YOUR name. Not some sluts name, right?" "Yes," he answered quietly. "There you go then. He knows what he's doing to you and doesn't give a shit. He's a selfish bastard!"

     Jin giggles softly, "Tae, stop." Taehyung huffed his disappointment. "Jimin, even though I don't like what Tae just said, it does seem pretty convenient that he "forgets" about the stuff you guys do all the time." Jin tried to help his little friend see the truth but honestly they didn't know the truth because they hadn't confronted Jungkook, not for lack of trying. Tae wanted to kick his ass every time, but Jimin always defended and stopped him.

     "Maybe, maybe he'll remember something this time." Jimin was hopeful, but internally he knew better. Both of his friends shook their heads and agreed to keep his new secret.

     They all headed to the studio to practice. Once they arrived Jimin smiled seeing Jungkook waiting for them. "Where have you all been? Practice needs to start soon." "We-" he stopped his answer once he saw a new girl standing next to Jungkook, another girl to steal his attention, another girl to break his heart, then he'll again turn to Jimin to help with his heart ache. And Jimin would never refuse him.  These activities between drunk Jungkook and Jimin continued for several weeks. Jungkook seemingly oblivious to his sexual activities with Jimin whenever some slut would break his heart. He only knew his best friend was always there to comfort him.

     Jimin stopped in his tracks and brushed past the new couple not even caring what her name was, he was beyond done caring. His heart was broken and he didn't know how to fix it without confessing to Jungkook. But he knew that would ruin his friendship and that was something he couldn't risk.

     Jungkook came up to Jimin who was busying himself with the chairs and the day's music. "Hey, Jiminie, are you ok?" Jimin froze, he stiffened his back and flatly stayed, "sure of course I'm fine." He didn't even look at Jungkook and just walked away.

     "Hey Namjoon, I'm not really feeling it today. I'm heading out. I'll see you tomorrow," Jimin told the leader. He then walked out without talking to anyone else. He felt a strong tug on his arm, "Jimin! Where are you going? Are you ok? Do you want me to go with you?" It was Jungkook, Jimin couldn't face him right now, he got snarky and sounded rude, "nah Kookie, it looks like you have someone more important to hang out with right now," motioning over to his new love interest.

     "Hey, Jimin, don't be like that." "You know what, what the fuck ever Jungkook. I'm out of here." With that, Jimin turned away and walked from the confused male who is supposed to be his best friend. Jin and Tae's words had gotten to him. He just wanted Jungkook to feel a little rejected like he did each time they were intimate and Jungkook "forgot". "How does it fucking feel," Jimin whispered to himself.

     "Good for Jiminie!" Jin quietly told Tae once they were told that Jimin went home for the day. "I just hope he stops letting Jungkook use him." "Same, brother, same.
