Factitious [Jikook]

XLVI: Conflictions

unedited...

Taehyung have a big smile on his face when he sees the younger entered the shop, he fixed his clothes and hair before waving his hands in the air. Jimin clenched at the hem of his shirt trying to hold his anger, taehyung greeted him with his famous boxy smile. Jimin faked a smile and sit in front of the older.

"do you like anyth—"

"be honest in me hyung, do you know where kookie is last night?

The younger intervene staring straight to the older male eyes, the question took taehyung off guard he sigh before answering the younger, jimin clenched his hands under the table —his mind is conflicted to whom he should believe, there is lot going in his mind causing him to miss taehyung's words.

"...minie? Jiminie?"

Taehyung called the younger in dazed, jimin look at him blankly letting out a soft huh.

"are you okay? Is something happen before you got here."

Taehyung tone is full of concern but the younger can feel it, his rage towards the older male is the only feeling he has now, if the woman said was true the older male is really losing his mind.

"did you answer my question..."

Jimin said completely ignoring taehyung's words the older male sighed again and closed his eyes before repeating what he said earlier.

"yes, I know, why yo—"

"is that part of your plan?"

Jimin asked once again caught taehyung off guard.

"what are you tal—"

"please be honest in me hyung?!"

The anger and agitation evident in the younger male's words, jimin is so desperate to know the truth, who he should believe, who he should listen to?! He knows that he should believe to Jungkook but why he feels his doesn't want to? especially after the call, he knows that the older has a bad temper but the way he talks to the woman is giving him some eerie vibes, like the man is not Jungkook, not his Jungkook.

Taehyung sighed massaging his temple he needs to think a good alibi to abscond the younger accusation, there's no room from fail now, he is only inch away, in the final pace of his retaliation, he is almost there. Jimin just look at him watching his every move —studying it, like searching for some clue, some hint to what is real.

"maybe the hyungs didn't say that the two of us had a little argument..."

Taehyung started, jimin eyebrows pulled together in confusion and taehyung can't help to chuckle at the younger's cuteness mentally.

"so, I invite him for a drink to you know reconcile to him and apologize to what I said."

He continued but the look on the younger male's face is enough for him to know that jimin didn't buy any of his words. Jimin sighed clenching his hands that under the table, none of the older male words matches to the woman's confession. It's either the woman is lying or taehyung does. He signs for the older to continue and taehyung complied without a word of resentment. Taehyung nodded before he continues his made-up story, not aware that the latter knows the truth.
