//30 - It's better this way, right?//

"He didn't."

     "Oh yes he did. Can you believe that?"

     Jin fled from Yoongi's office after their little talk and had asked Jungkook to take him to Jimin and Taehyung's place. He needed to vent and talk to someone about what's going on and the only person who wasn't busy at the moment was Jimin.

Of course, Jungkook asked if he was ok and if he could do anything to take his mind of whatever is bothering him, but Jin insisted he was ok. Besides, he needed to escape from the brothers for a bit.

When Taehyung opened the door, he was surprised to see Jin at his door, frantically asking for Jimin and saying he needed to talk to him asap. Jimin was in the bath when Jin barged in and plopped down on the floor, his heart racing and his nerves out of wack. He really needed some advice. He splurged and told him everything, from what happened last night with Jungkook to what Yoongi said today.

"So what are you gonna do?"

Jin looks at him puzzled because of his question. "Seriously? I'm staying with Jungkook."

Jimin raises a single eyebrow and signals for his towel, to which Jin hands over to him.

"I'm going to be honest Jinnie, there might be some truth to what Yoongi said. Hear me out, but the last few times that we were over for dinner, I couldn't help but notice how you would glance at him every now and then. And he would too and if his jealous glares towards Jungkook doesn't say anything to you, then you're an idiot."

     "I thought you were on my side?" Jin follows Jimin out into the bedroom and throws himself on the bed and on his back.

     "I am. I want you to be happy and stop lying to yourself," he shrugs before slipping on his clothes. Jin huffs before turning over to look at Jimin.

     "You're so lucky, you know? A steady relationship, loving boyfriend, baby on the way. I really envy you."

Jimin sighs and shakes his head as he joins him on the soft bed. He lays on his side, facing the elder and purses his lips into a straight line.

"I understand, but there really is no need for you to feel that way. It started out tough for you, I know, but things are better now. The only reason it's getting complicated is because you're not being truthful to yourself and the other two.

You gotta figure things out Jin, you can't just run away anymore. But you also can't force a lie. It's hurting you, Jungkook, and Yoongi and if you don't try, it's only going to get even worse from here. I'm telling you this because I care."

He reaches over and intertwines his small fingers with Jin's. "At least tell me you'll think about it."

Jin nibbles on his lip and looks into his eyes. "Ok. I will."

Jin walks into the house after thanking Taehyung for the ride and once he closes the door, he's immediately brought into a hug.

"Everything ok?" Jungkook asks as he pulls away, looking into Jin's eyes. He kisses the crown of his head and then his lips. "You know you can talk to me."

Jin looks down for a moment. "I know, just wanted to visit Jimin. You can understand that, right?"

Jungkook kisses him again. "Of course. I'm just worried about my baby is all."

The younger sighs as he brings his hands up Jungkook's chest and plays with his shirt collar. Jin glances up at Kook when he feels him squeeze his waist just slightly.

"Kookie, I—"

"Do you guys mind? There's rooms in this house for a reason," Yoongi interrupts, scaring them out of their own little world. They glance over at him and while Jungkook just rolls his eyes, Jin notices the hurt swirling in Yoongi's eyes.

"Sorry," Jin mumbles, feeling both embarrassed and guilty. Even after finding out how he truly feels, he's still unintentionally hurting him with his actions.

"There's no need to apologize Jinnie."

Yoongi scoffs and rests his hand on his hip, raising an eyebrow. "Really? If I remember correctly, this is still my house so the least you can do is respect me. By the way, when are you going back to your apartment? I think you're overdoing your stay."

"We can leave right now if you'd like. It's no problem at all," Jungkook declares, holding Jin tighter as he gets more irritated. Jin starts to feel uncomfortable and meekly speaks up.

"Can we please not? You're right Yoongi, we should respect you in your own house so we're sorry." He turns to Jungkook. "Also, we need to talk."

Jungkook's heart begins to beat a mile a minute since the majority of the time, those words are followed by bad news.

"Ok, let's go upstairs then."

Jungkook leads the way and as they pass by Yoongi, Jin looks at him nervously before following Kook up the stairs.

Jin goes inside first and sits down on the bed as Jungkook closes the door. He bites his nails, his heart racing just as fast as Jungkook's. Is he really going through with this? He hasn't had a lot of time to really think about the situation, but despite that, it seems like his heart already made his decision.

     Jungkook sits beside Jin and grabs his small hands, looking down at them, his eyebrows scrunched in worry. The silence is killing him, the suspense becoming unbearable as Jin stalls to go through with it.

     "Jungkook—"

     "Before you say anything, I just want you to know how much I love you. You are the best thing that's ever happened to me and it's not an exaggeration. I mean it Jinnie, I really do," Jungkook interrupts sadly, caressing his knuckles. Jin feels even worse now, his words stabbing and breaking him down. He loves Jungkook, but Yoongi is the one who runs through his mind all the time. And even though he'll hurt Jungkook by breaking up with him, he would end up hurting him even more if they kept dating.

     It's better this way, right?
