🎶we were just two kids too young and dumb🎶
Jimin feels bad about loving his best friend's older brother, but he can't help it.
In this book, Jungkook is older than Jimin. I don't know why anyone would have a problem with that, but if you do, just...
Jungkook knocks on the door and jiggles the doorknob. "Jimin, why the fuck did you lock me out?"
There's no response. "Jimin, come on. Just open the door."
"Hi Jungkook..."
Kook looks over his shoulder and tenses up. "Oh. Hi Rina."
"What're you doing? Is somebody in there."
Jungkook sighs. "Yeah, it's my friend."
"Are they okay?"
"I don't know. They're upset at me for some reason."

Jimin sits on the floor of the bathroom and chokes back his sobs. Up to this point, he's gone his whole life without even considering that Jungkook could be with someone else.
The reality of it was like a slap in the face. Jimin needs to just suck it up and realize that he'll never be more to Jungkook. He'll always just be Junghyun's friend.
Now he's stuck in the bathroom listening to Jungkook and Rina talk. Rina is flirting and Jungkook isn't shutting her down at all.
At times, he even sounds like he's encouraging her.
Jimin actually did end up throwing up. It wasn't a lot, but it's definitely an experience he'll never forget.

Jungkook hears a sniffle from inside the bathroom and perks up. "Jimin? What's wrong?" He mentions for Rina to go away and jiggles the doorknob again.
"Go away."
"I'm your ride. I'm not just gonna leave you in the bathroom at a random party all alone. Open the door."
No response.
"Please..."
There's rustling and Jungkook feels the door unlock. He walks inside and closes the door behind him. "You look like a wreck..."
Jimin sniffles again and wipes his nose. "Shut up..."
Jungkook grabs a few tissues from the bathroom counter and wipes Jimin's tears away. "Why are you crying, Minnie?"
Jimin briefly considers outright confessing, but he stops himself. He's just tipsy and not thinking properly. "I don't like being drunk. I just want to go home."
Jungkook frowns. "I'm sorry for letting you get drunk. I really didn't know it had alcohol in it–"
"Can you just shut up about the stupid lemonade? You've apologized, like, 11 times." He crosses his arms and plops down on the side of the bathtub.
Jungkook gulps. He knows Jimin is upset about Rina and he doesn't know how to comfort him without revealing the fact that he knows about the crush.
"Okay. Do you want me to drive you home?"
"Yeah. Now."
Jungkook nods. "Okay." He tries to wipe away the last of Jimin's tears, but he dodges him. "I'm not 5. I can do it myself."
