Chapter 13

●●●

He ended up at club he had been to a couple of times before, but not often enough to be called a regular. He vaguely recognized a few of the guys sitting in the actual regulars' corner, chatting over the loud music blasting through the room.

It wasn't that late yet. Happy hour, actually, so the drinks were a lot cheaper, which was in Jimin's favor since he wanted to get drunk. Just push Tae and Jungkook into the back of his mind for at least a couple of hours.

His fears were still going to be there tomorrow morning. So just for a few hours he wanted to drown them in alcohol, wanted to make it sting a bit less.

Jimin frowned, leaning over his drink and staring deep into its bright red color. He was supposed to be happy for Jungkook and Taehyung right now. After all they had found the best person they could ever pick to date. But Jimin wasn't happy, as much as he wished he could be. Instead his heart hurt. Because he was alone and he wanted that too. Wanted to get to kiss Jungkookie... cuddle with Taehyung. Be the one all that affection was directed at. Wanted to say the words 'I love you' and hear them. Because he did. He loved these two... so fucking much.

He was just about able to stop himself from letting tears spill over again by staring at the ceiling. And then he ordered another drink.

Jimin wasn't all that sure how late it was, more people had shown up by now and the bar was partly full. Some people were dancing while other simply enjoyed sitting down and drinking, when Jimin decided to ask the bartender if he could borrow his phone. He probably looked absolutely pathetic, since the guy actually did hand him his phone.

Swallowing hard Jimin typed Taehyung's number into the phone, a number he knew by heart because of the many times he had already called him... Chatted with him for hours on end. He had to force down another wave of tears as he pressed the call button.

Taehyung picked up right away, his voice hasty when he spoke. Jimin wondered whether it was because of him. "Hello?"

For a second Jimin let the soothing effect Taehyung's voice almost automatically had on him, wash over him, before forcing himself to focus. He couldn't allow himself to feel this comfortable... this safe. He couldn't allow himself to be swept away just because Taehyung was here.

Taehyung had gone behind his back. His voice shouldn't be soothing to Jimin. "Hey." He hadn't really thought this through, had he? "I just wanted to tell you guys that you can do whatever you want for the night. I'll not be coming home today." he said, his voice sharp and angry, nothing like how he felt. He just felt sad and empty and wanted Jungkook and Taehyung to fill up that void, but he knew it would just hurt more. He didn't even have any idea where he was supposed to sleep aside from their flat. After all he had left his keys back their so his own wasn't a choice.

"Jimin." Taehyung said, his voice so soft, and Jimin hated it. Hated it when Taehyung used that tone... when he was trying to calm Jimin down, get him to talk. He didn't want to talk. He was so scared of talking. "Where are you right now?" He could hear Jungkook's anxious voice, trying to get to the telephone, trying to talk to Jimin.

"It doesn't matter. I want to be alone for a bit. You guys have some fun with each other." He wanted to beg them to come. To hold him. Tell him that this didn't mean they would love him any less. But this wasn't a romance novel. Jimin wasn't supposed to live his happy ever after.
