every single day jimin seemed to spend more and more time with yoongi and less and less with taehyung.

it bothered him.

why would he be getting closer to the person who should have broken his heart and farther apart from the person patiently waiting to fix it?

it was upsetting to notice that they were no longer hanging out just to be in each other's company and jimin no longer came by just to come by.

in fact, he hadn't even seen him in the last week at all.

that's why he planned a special kind of event.

all the guys at his and jungkook's apartment for the night.

he didn't want to do anything risky with the older boy by any means, but he was hoping that they could talk about his crush now dating someone and maybe even cuddle a bit.

"get the door." jungkook shooed him away as he looked in the mirror to check his appearance before his boyfriend came inside.

taehyung listened, eyes lighting up as he was met with the view of the older boy.

he smiled greeting him. "is yoongi here yet?"

tae titled his head.

that was the first thing he wanted to say to him?

he couldn't lie, it hurt his feelings quite a bit.

"ah, not yet, but it's sort of a good thing though. i kind of wanted to talk about him."

"me too." jimin grinned, entering their apartment.

the red haired boy grabbed his arm, pulling him to his room where he shut the door.

they both sat down on the foot of his bed looking at one another for a moment.

"you can go first." the younger urged.

jimin sheepishly smiled, biting it back from spreading across his face even more. "i think he likes me back."

"i-i'm sorry?"

the air thickened around the two.

suddenly their once comforting close proximity seemed to make him claustrophobic.

"he said he finally realized he's in love. i thought he was talking about jungkook at first-"

taehyung interrupted the boy, not understanding.

"jimin, do you think maybe you misunderstood?"

"i thought so at first, but then he started talking about how cute his busan accent was." he shyly looked down with pink tinted cheeks.

that's when the man he was gushing to finally caught on to what was happening.

"jimin," taehyung sighed, holding his hand not ready to break the boy's gleaming expression. "jungkook's from busan too."

the ravenette's eyes widened. "b-but-"

"his accent was really strong when he first came; when he first met yoongi. he's lived in seoul for a couple years now so he's kind of just adapted to the way people speak around here."

the smaller boy's face fell, not even a trace of his smile remaining. "y-you're lying." he whispered heartbrokenly.

"i'm not."

"you are!"

"get it through your head, jimin! he's not interested you!" taehyung knew it was harsh, but he wasn't going to quit denying it if he didn't get it through to him.

he couldn't sugar coat things anymore.

it would just hurt jimin even more to keep imagining such things in his head that couldn't possibly come true.

tear filled eyes looked back up to meet sympathetic brown ones.

he gave a bitter laugh, pulling his hand away from taehyung's.

"i guess you were right, huh? some of us just aren't meant to be loved."

tae reached his hand out to the boy already standing up to leave. "no, wait! i l-"

"don't touch me!" jimin screamed, tears now falling uncontrollably down his cheeks. "i don't want to pretend anymore."

when did this turn into a drama where the smut at
