Jimin

I slumped my back on the chair and use my feet to spin around. I don't even know what's more stressful, the fact that Ji Eun's contract will start on Monday or those two who keeps on arguing about who will bring me home later.

For the peace of everyone, I'll go home by myself.

As usual, Jungkook didn't give me much work to do. He just told me to update the list of incoming letters he had signed. That's all. I don't even feel that I'm working here as a secretary. It feels like I came here everyday just to sit and let my saliva dry in my mouth.

But I think he's doing it on purpose because he did something. It's always like that right?

I thought Jungkook came back when the door opened so I pretend that I didn't care. Instead, I heard a sound of heels walking towards my direction. I look up only to see Lia with her worried expression. She told me that Jungkook and Taehyung were fighting outside so I quickly went there to check.

This is driving me crazy. Everyone was looking at us and no one dared to help Taehyung. They didn't do anything until I came.

"What do you think you're doing Jungkook?!" I exclaimed, letting go of his hand as soon as we get inside the office. I locked the door to make sure no one is going to interrupt us. His eyes followed my hand when I twisted the lock.

"Aren't you ashame of what you did? Everyone saw that you punched Taehyung!"

His brows knitted and then he sat on top of his table. "He deserve it."

"You hurt him again!" I looked at him in disbelief. "I can't understand what's going on through your mind but it's not right to punch someone like that."

"Then tell me, if someone tells you that he or she likes me and they're going to steal me away from you, you wouldn't punch them? You'll just let them do that? Tell me!"

I was startled when he yelled at me. He was so mad but what he told me made me confuse.

"What are you saying? Who likes who? I don't really get you Jeon Jungkook. Your mind is messed up as hell!"

"You still don't get it? Taehyung likes you! He told me he likes you and he told me that I'm going to lose you! For fuck's sake he wants to steal you away from me because he thinks that you don't deserve someone like me!"

I feel like I stopped breathing for a moment. Everything he say couldn't process in my mind.

"What?" I asked him. He cursed again before kicking the trash bin on the side of the table. Crumpled papers were scattered on the floor.

"Babe, Taehyung likes you. My best friend likes you. When he found out that we had a serious fight, he thought it was his chance to get closer to you. He has feelings for you ever since."

He was panting so hard. I don't know if he's crying since I'm standing far from him but I can see that his eyes is getting glossy. He's getting red. The veins on his neck are visible from shouting. I hope everyone outside didn't hear everything he said.

"I-I didn't know..." I stammered, still surprised about that revelation. But I don't see any motives from Taehyung. I just thought he helped me hide away from Jungkook when the time that I wasn't ready to talk to him. I didn't know he likes me.

I only see Taehyung as a friend.

"Now that you know about that, don't tell me that it's wrong to punch him because even if he's not my friend, if he tells me that he likes my boyfriend, I'm still going to punch him no matter what."
