Then Taehyung says the thing that makes Jimin's hands shake.
"You had him," he murmurs. "And you let him feel alone anyway."
Jimin exhales slowly, trying to steady himself. "You don't know what you're talking about."
Taehyung's expression hardens.
"I know he stopped sleeping."
Jimin freezes.
"I know he waits until everyone's asleep to come back to the room."
Another step closer.
"And I know," Taehyung finishes, eyes burning, "that he doesn't look at you the same anymore."
That-
That breaks something open.
Jimin's voice cracks before he can stop it. "Then maybe he shouldn't."
Taehyung goes still.
For a second-just one-he looks surprised.
Then disappointed.
"Wow," he breathes. "You really don't get it."
Jimin laughs, but there's no humor in it. "Then explain it to me."
Taehyung doesn't.
Instead, he glances past Jimin-back toward the living room.
Toward Jungkook.
And when he looks back, something has shifted.
Something quieter.
More dangerous.
"He's still waiting," Taehyung says.
Jimin's heart stutters. "...For what?"
Taehyung holds his gaze.
"For you to fight for him."
And just like that-
Jimin realizes something terrifying.
He doesn't know how.
