Jimin's POV

Before Baekhyun could explain any further I apologised to Kyungsoo and explained that it would probably be more than "just a minute". He said he'd go make our food so I could chat with Baekhyun privately.

"Okay so, slow down, you broke what?" I asked him across the phone. He took a moment to take a deep breath and calm down before explaining what had happened.

"Well, I wanted to be a nice boyfriend and tidy up some of the mess Tae and I had left around his bedroom over the past few days of us staying together. But as I reached up to dust the top of his shelves I accidentally knocked off the glass jewellery box Tae's great grandma left him when she passed... and of course it smashed cause it's glass! I just don't know what to do or say or if I can even fix this mess I've made... he's gonna hate me."

When he finally finished I could tell he was crying again and I could hear him trying to pick up the shards of broken glass.

"Baekhyun leave the glass you'll cut yourself, at least use a dustpan and brush. And hey, stop crying, I promise it'll be okay. I know Tae, he's not likely to get mad. He'll be upset, and he'll probably need some time alone after you tell him, because you need to tell him... but after leaving him a day or two, the best way for you to make it up to him is to just surprise him with something that shows how much you love him."

I heard him sigh and could imagine him wiping his tears away, "Thank you Jimin, I'm dreading having to tell him but of course it's the best thing, he'll understand... like you said, Tae's too loving to get mad, I just feel so guilty. But anyway, thank you for the help, I'll figure something out, I don't know what I'd do without you Jiminie."

I smiled and giggled a little at his appreciation, "You're very welcome Baekhyun, I'm glad I could at least be of some comfort, good luck, and just remember it'll all work out okay. Goodbye~" we said our goodbyes just as Kyungsoo walked through the door with pizza.

"I hope everything's okay?" He asked and I nodded, "trouble in paradise... but it'll be fine." I laughed and thanked him for the food as we begun to eat.

~ time skip to the next daayyyy ~

The next day at school started out a little awkward for our whole group I believe... I was the only one who knew about what had happened between Tae and Baek, and it seemed Taehyung was extremely upset about the loss of his Great Grandmas jewellery box...

The couple were staying a reasonable distance apart all day, not avoiding each other as such, just not taking the time to greet each other or sit beside each other, and our other friends seemed to catch on that something wasn't right between the two. But they dared not question it.

Other than that my morning was fine... until it reached break, I stepped out of my geography class just as Jungkook finished P.E. Now I usually don't get jealous when Jungkook's chats to the girls within our friendship group, because I know we're all friends.

But apparently today was different.

Jungkook met Jieun and I as we were leaving geography and of course he hugged me like usual but then he proceeded to wrap an arm round Jieun's shoulder and began telling her this hilarious story about what had happened in his P.E. class.

Seemingly forgetting I was even there.

"How was your morning Jungkookie?" I called and he turned slightly, "wait a sec Jimin." Was his only response before he continued talking to IU.

They were laughing loudly together as I walked behind, I didn't bother to pay attention to what they were talking about. I was conflicted with my own feelings, I felt jealous, but I also was annoyed with myself for feeling jealous...

He's allowed friends... even if they are ex-girlfriends...

I tried to block it from my mind until we all reached the tree, I sat in mine and Jungkook's usual spot, thinking he'd follow and sit with me.

I was wrong.

He clearly hadn't finished talking with Jieun so he sat with her.

"Kookie aren't you sitting here?" I asked and he just had the same response, "maybe in a minute Jimin." Before continuing his conversation.

I fiddled with my shoelaces, hoping to distract myself from their laughter ringing in my ears, taunting me.

A few moments later Baekhyun came to sit with me, "ah, I see we're both boyfriendless this break time..." he mumbled and I frowned, biting my lip in anger.

"Yes, it seems that way." It felt like acid rolling off my tongue agreeing with him. Agreeing that Jungkook had ditched me for his ex-girlfriend and barely even acknowledged my existence.

When the bell finally rang Jungkook gave IU a hug goodbye as she left for her lesson, he then jogged over to me, gave me a peck on the cheek and mumbled a "see you later" before jogging away again.

We both had Korean... sure he was a set lower than me, but our classrooms are in the same direction...

I stood frozen with my mouth open slightly and frown still prominent on my features. I could feel my eyes glossing over but I shut them and shook my head.

Why are you gonna cry, get over yourself. You are not that pathetic.

I clenched my fists before taking a deep breath and following the direction he left in towards my next lesson.

It sucked not having any lessons with Jungkook today, I feel like this day of the week is always my least favourite, I feel quite lonely... but it's worse when Jungkook won't even acknowledge me at the chances we do get to see each other.

When I had finally gotten through the next chunk of work before Lunch I was feeling hopeful, and ready to pounce on my boyfriend the second I saw him, obviously only to attack him with kisses.

But my plans were ruined when once again I spotted Jungkook sat with Jieun under the tree, but what's worse, is they were sat where Jungkook and I usually sit...

All my happiness was gone and I was just mad, I had had enough of today.

Once I reached closer I could see their smiles and hear their laughs, I saw the way she looked at him and even though he wasn't looking at her like the way he looks at me, he was still fucking looking at her in the first place...

My blood was boiling and I couldn't unclench my fists, my frown seemed to be permanently lodged in place and my breathing was getting ragged.

I stopped and stood in front of the group that were already all sat down, everyone said hello, except the two who were so engrossed in their stupid conversation to even notice me.

"Jungkook-ah!" I shouted angrily as he continued to ignore my presence.

His eyes shot up to mine and his smile faded.

"Do I just not exist anymore!?" I shouted again and everyone was silent.

Jungkook went red, clearly embarrassed to have been confronted in front of everyone. He began to stand up as he looked around, "Jiminie can't we talk somewhere else if you're upset?" He asked and I started seething.

"No Jungkook we cannot go somewhere else to hide your embarrassment. We will have this conversation right here since I would like to get my dignity back after being ignored by my own boyfriend all day!" My eyes started getting watery again and this time I was too upset and angry to stop them.

"What do you mean? Am I not allowed to talk to my friends!?" He shouted back and my tears fell down my cheeks, "That's not what I mean Jungkook of course you can talk to friends but when I haven't seen you all day a little conversation would be nice, you know, your average 'hi how was your morning' but when I asked you you ignored me! And you don't even bother to try talking to me all day!"

"Don't you think you're overreacting Jimin?" The fact he even thinks to ask me that just made me even more upset and disappointed...

"I don't understand how not even a part of you is sorry right now. You've ignored me all day, you've been sat there hugging and laughing with Jieun who is your ex-girlfriend don't you think I have the right to be upset?" I stopped shouting and looked at him almost desperately, just wanting him to apologise and give me a hug and a kiss.

To make me feel better.

"No Jimin, I don't, we're all friends here, if I don't have time to talk to you at break then you should just understand that!"

"Oh okay, so if I didn't speak to you all day and sayyy... started laughing around with Kyungsoo hugging him every chance I could get and brushing you off every time you tried to talk to me, you'd be perfectly okay with that yeah?" I sarcastically pointed out and he hesitated.

"Well, that's different." I laughed at his absolutely ridiculous response.

"How Jungkook!? Tell me HOW that would be ANY different!? Why because it's ME doing something that's not okay instead of YOU? Yeah cause you can do WHATEVER you want WHENEVER you want cause you're Jungkook and everyone let's you. Well FUCK THAT Jungkook! Not everything you do is fine and if you honestly think you're not in the wrong then I don't want to talk to you anymore. So go and finish your conversation with Jieun."

I turned away before he could even respond and began making my way into the school.

I was so mad and upset and just... I just didn't even know what to think...

As my brain raced with emotions and I just stormed on I found myself going towards my English classroom, it was my next lesson, but lesson didn't start for another 25 minutes...

I continued anyway, part of me thought the only person who could cheer me up would be Mr. Wang... Since all my friends are back out with Jungkook.

So when I reached his classroom I timidly knocked on the door, tears still falling down my cheeks.

His voice called a muffled "come in" so I slowly opened the door, suddenly not really sure what I was hoping to get out of coming here and wishing I'd just never knocked.

"Uh... sorry sir I- I don't really know why I came here I guess I just-"

"Oh god Jimin why are you crying?" He got up from his desk chair the moment he spotted my tears and raced over to wipe my face.

"I had a fight with Jungkook-ah, my boyfriend." I added, since I don't think he's met him. "Ah... well why don't you come and sit down and tell me what happened?" He dragged a chair towards his desk before sitting down in his own teachers chair.

I shuffled over to the seat now in front of him and sat down, more tears making there way down my face as I became a sniffling mess once again.

"It's so stupid!" I huffed and ran a hand through my hair, "he spent all day flirting with his ex-girlfriend and literally ignoring my existence and just shutting me down every time I attempted to make conversation. Then he refused to admit he was in the wrong and even went as far as saying that he would be annoyed if I flirted with some other guy but that's apparently 'different'. Cause he's allowed to get pissed off and possessive but he's also allowed to do whatever the fuck he wants and I'm not allowed to get upset!"

As soon as I'd finished shouting my eyes widened and I remembered I was talking to one of my professors... I really should not have been shouting... and definitely shouldn't have sworn...

"Ah, sorry sir I shouldn't have shouted." I attempted to speak in some English to make up for my outburst.

"Don't worry Jimin, I told you to explain and you're upset, it's fine, besides, I'm not teaching you right now so in this circumstance just consider me... a friend." He smiled and I sat up straighter, smiling back.

"Okay, thank you sir." I replied and wiped my own tears a little, "I thought I said friends, that means I'm Jackson, not Sir." He winked and I giggled.

"Sorry Jackson, but anyway, I think I just needed to vent to someone, so thank you for listening, if you have any advice... that would be helpful." I shrugged and he meant back in his chair as if thinking of what to say.

"Well, I think he's being a total asshat. A proper boyfriend should spend all their time with their loved one, but not because they have to, because they want to." He leant forward and placed a hand atop of mine on the table, doing the soothing rub thing he does a lot.

"So, I believe you've done all you can, and if he really cares then he'll apologise, but if he doesn't admit he's wrong, then he's clearly not meant for someone as amazing as you." He smiled and I blushed a little.

"Well thank you." I tried removing my hand but he held it tighter, my gaze moved down to our hands and I frowned slightly.

I looked back up at him and he had leant forward, resting his elbow on the desk and his chin on his palm.

"Uh... when does this lesson start Sir?" I sheepishly asked as he still had hold of my hand.

"Oh not for a while yet Jiminie, but you can stay in here, we can chat, I can maybe give you a little bit of that one to one help." He squeezed my hand slightly and I gulped, starting to feel a little awkward.

"Um, sure, I really find describing things the hardest." I tried to ignore the weird feeling I had and just go along with his teaching.

He stood up and went to back of the room to get a textbook, I turned in my seat to face the back of the room but he called me over.

I stood and reluctantly made my way towards him, looking at the book he had opened.

"Is it the adjectives you don't know, or just how to use them." He asked, "I guess both, I don't know many." I shrugged standing still far enough away from him.

He scanned the pages of the book before shaking his head and putting it down, "I've had enough of books, I find it much easier to teach through talking and doing, not reading." He mumbled, taking a step closer to me.

I began to feel quite intimidated, I could feel myself sweating and occasionally glancing to the classroom door.

"Here, I'll give you an example, Jiminie is very pretty, now do you know what that means?" He asked and I slowly shook my head, "you're talking about me... but I don't know what you described me as." I breathed, unable to look up from the floor.

I felt his finger on my chin as he pulled my face up to look him in the eye, I gulped again and my eyes widened at the smirk on his face, "I said the you're very pretty. Cause you are Jimin. You're beautiful, especially after you've been crying." He whispered and my heartbeat quickened dramatically.

I couldn't say anything, I didn't know what to say, I couldn't move my feet from the spot they had planted themselves to on the floor.

His hand that was holding my chin moved to the back of my neck as I felt his other hand on my waist.

My palms instinctively pressed against his chest in front of me, using all the shaky strength I had left to slightly push him away.

I could hear my own breathing as he stared into my terrified eyes, "S-Sir..." was all I could stutter out in a hushed breath.

"Shhhh Jimin-ah, you pretty little thing, it's okay, your boyfriend clearly doesn't care about you, but I do. Nobody would ever know Jimin... nobody can see us, don't you think just a little kiss might make you feel better? After your boyfriend deprived you of affection all day, oh I'd shower you with affection if you'd let me..."

I wish I'd moved, I wish I'd just pulled away from him and ran for the door, ran to Jungkook...

But I was so scared, I was in so much shock that I couldn't even move my arms, it was as though every part of me had been glued into place.

He brought his face down to my neck and started to kiss me there, sucking on my skin as felt a wave of sickness wash over me. I tried to push him away but I had no strength left, a small sob left my mouth...

But he was right, nobody knew, and I was too weak to do anything about it.
