Like crazy
Jimin

"This is gonna break me. No, don't you wake me, I wanna stay in this dream, don't save me. Don't you try to save me
I need a way we, I need a way we can dream on."

"Taehyungaa, you should've told me that your girlfriend is coming with you!" One of my boyfriend's friends complains.

"I told Hobi." My man says who is sitting beside me in the back of the car, with a smile on his face. He leans toward his friend on the passenger's seat and taps his shoulders.

"Look at me, I look like a stray cat living on the streets. If I knew there was a beautiful woman with us, I would've worn something else." The man next to Hoseok, who's driving, adds. Taehyung's friends are funny and very comfortable to be around. I saw Hoseok a few times while I visited Taehyung in the hospital and he was also the one who picked him up from my place before he abruptly went to Seoul. 

Wooshik is kinda like Taehyung, especially their humor. They keep a straight face while telling the most hilarious joke. And his friend does this a lot. I know when my boyfriend is joking but I don't know Wooshik yet, that's why I always wait for someone to laugh at his jokes before I burst out crackling. It's sometimes difficult to decipher if he's joking or if it's serious.

"You don't have to look handsome for my girlfriend, her eyes are only on me, anyway!" A little giggle leaves my mouth because of Taehyung's wiggling eyebrows when he looks at me. 

"I bet your poor girlfriend has no other choice," Wooshik says with a teasing undertone. Hoseok slaps his chest causing their friend to cough.

"What do you mean?" My boyfriend is looking at both of his friends. Hoseok checks on him in the rearview while Wooshik shifts in his seat to face Taehyung. I observe everything. It might sound like they're fighting but I know they're joking and teasing Taehyung. 

"You are the most jealous man I know. A look from another man is enough for you to make a scene!" Wooshik says and Hoseok nods in agreement with a smirk on his face. The driver's eyes catch my gaze and I get a quick wink. Hoseok is ensuring me with that, they're just playing around.

"Hey," The man I love scoffs with a pout on his cupid lips. "I'm not that extreme anymore!" The guys laugh at their friend while Taehyung leans back on the seat.

I take his hand and at the same second our eyes meet. His attention goes to my lips as I mouth quietly, "You're the only one I need!" It could be the heat in the car that his cheeks got pink or was it because of my words? My boyfriend kisses the palm of my hands and places it on his thighs. 

The car drive went pretty fast. Them singing every song on the radio, gave me a concert feeling combined with a comedy show. It's nice to witness this side of the man I love. I didn't have the chance to meet his friends yet, except for Hoseok and that other guy. Jeon Jungkook. Taehyung is more outgoing and louder than when he's with me. They play a lot of pranks which are followed by blasting laughter. 

Hoseok drives through a dark alleyway surrounded by trees covered with snow and ice. The view is stunning. I take everything in. My gaze follows the road we're driving on until the sun is too bright to keep my eyes open. "You arrived at your destination, thank you for traveling with JHS." Our driver, Hoseok, says with a robotic tone, mimicking the Navi and making us laugh again.

The way I hold my breath after leaving the car, causes my head to spin. A huge, inspired Baroque-era mansion is what I get in sight, and it leaves me in awe at this masterpiece. I always loved the fashion and the visuals of that era. The pompous dresses with all their layers and different materials are something else. It would make me feel like a Princess.

"What do you think, love?" Taehyung's hugging me from behind while his chin rests on my shoulder. His warm breath tickles the inside of my ear which causes goosebumps along my spine.

"Babe, this is gorgeous. Are we staying here for a few days?" I point at the building in front of us.

"Yes, this is where we're going to celebrate the new year." He kisses my cheeks before he lets go of me to join Wooshik and Hoseok who are taking the bags out of the luggage space. I'm too busy to look around the place that I almost overhear their snowball battle. The parking lot is huge. More than five cars would fit in here. There's only one car beside Hoseok's. 

A pair of cold hands catch me and lead me to the front door of the huge mansion. "I want to introduce you to someone. He's been my best friend since childhood." Taehyung seems so excited. His eyes are glistening in the sunlight and his smile is wide. The entrance opens and the dark pair of eyes that are looking at me are so familiar that my heart sinks into my feet. A blonde-haired man, with smiling plump pink lips, welcomes my boyfriend with a tight hug. 

All the courage in my body is gone. My hands are sweating and I feel nauseous at this weird situation. How should I react? What should I say? Questions over questions attacking my mind for my next steps but I can't find an answer. The warmth of Taehyung's hand on my back pulls me back to reality and I automatically look at the man I love. Usually, I'd calm down in just a blink of time but somehow it makes me more nervous. The fact that he's my boyfriend's best friend is a difficult position.

"Love, this is Jimin, my best friend. His parents are the owners of all this here" Taehyung says with a proud smile before looking at the blond man. "Jimin, this is my girlfriend, Crystal." It's the way this blond guy is looking at me that makes me uneasy. The last conversation we had was weeks away and I didn't answer his messages after the ice skating date. 

However, Jimin extends his palm and greets me with a tight grip around my hand, "Nice to meet you, Crystal." I can't read his mind and this is what scares me. He could expose things to Taehyung about my past and I already kinda know how my boyfriend would react. Although it happened before I met him, knowing he's a jealous man doesn't help to rest my busy mind. Not even when Jimin guides us through the huge mansion with a lot of rooms. 

As we walk the stairs to the second floor, Wooshik calls Taehyung and of course, my boyfriend runs to his friend to help. "Jiminahh, show her our room, I'll be there in a minute."

The air is suddenly so silent and cold after Taehyung left. I walk quietly behind the blonde-haired guy with whom I had a one-night stand. My boyfriend's best friend. Every fiber in my body screams danger but it's already too late. I'm also aware that Jimin could destroy me in an instant by telling Taehyung about him and me. It shouldn't bother me if they wouldn't know each other but they're best childhood friends, almost like brothers, I guess.

"So Taehyungie, is that special someone?" His voice is soft and closely hurt when he speaks to me. We enter a bedroom, mainly decorated with dark green and golden ornaments. I would be in awe but this situation stops my excitement. Jimin looks so sad. Although a smile on his lips it doesn't reach his eyes as it usually does. 

"Jimin, I'm sorry." and don't know why this comes out as a whisper. This man confessed his feelings for me, even considering waiting until I'm ready but I told him that I love someone else. Starting a relationship with another person in my heart is the worst thing I can do. It wouldn't be fair to Jimin.

"What are you sorry for? Because you're in love with my best friend?" Jimin turns to face me. Our eyes locked and a weird feeling inside me was awakening. I feel bad somehow. This handsome blond man and I didn't have a good beginning but I appreciated his apology for the way he treated me. He's not a bad person yet my inner voice is warning me to be cautious. What I know is, Jimin can be very sly. He can change from an angel to an evil villain in a second. "Don't worry I won't tell him, yet. I don't want to ruin the mood and most importantly, I don't want my best friend to celebrate new year's Eve with a broken heart!" 

Why do his words hurt me so much although I already know Taehyung will not be amused.

"I will tell him as soon as we're back home. I bet you're so excited for us to break up."

Jimin approaches me until I hit my back on the wall, holding me hostage in between. I don't like the way his expression darkens in an instant. His face comes dangerously closer but I tilt my head away from him. Hot breathing hits my neck and I feel like I'm doing something wrong. As if I'm cheating on my boyfriend.

"To be honest, I would lie if I'd say no because I should be the one sharing that bed with you. I should be the one kissing those lips and get to touch this body whenever I feel like it. I had you first even before Taehyung got closer to you!" Goosebumps arise all over my body. It's the way he says it through gritted teeth that scares me. This is the Jimin my gut was warning me about. 

"But in the end, Taehyung is the one who has my heart. I was destined to be his from the beginning." Jimin scoffs as I push him slowly away from my body. I may not know how Taehyung's and my story will continue but I know for sure that Jimin and I would never match.

Voices are audible and it seems like more people arrived at the mansion. Hoseok's loud laughter echoes through the hallway as I walk down the stairs with Jimin behind me. Taehyung and Wooshik are placing a few more bags onto the cold marble floor. That's when I see someone familiar walking towards Wooshik. It's Kai, Yoongi's gym buddy. What is he doing here? Are they friends? From what I see, Taehyung knows him as well as they hug each other. It's not the warm hug he usually gives to his friends, this is more casual and distant.

My boyfriend's gaze wanders toward me and I don't like the way he's looking at me. A mixture of confusion and anger is what I get from his stare but it's not for me. Before I can shift to the side I already feel a hand grabbing my waist. Someone pulls me hard and I collide with a chest. The familiar minty fragrance makes my heart beat fast at an unhealthy speed. My stomach feels upset and I could puke right now.

"What a surprise to meet you here, Crys!" The husky and deep voice this man is calling me, makes me react in an instant by pushing him aggressively away. Jimin catches me, preventing me from falling onto the ground. Yoongi was the last person I expected to be here. Does this mean we have to celebrate with him? 

My ex's devilish smirk makes me want to punch him. This man is provoking my wrath against him and he knows it. The way he's looking at me, how he is checking me up from head to toe is not how an ex-partner should look. I don't like this situation. Just at the same moment when my attention goes back to my boyfriend, my heart is ripped out of my chest at the scene in front of me.

A woman jumps into the arms of Taehyung, my boyfriend. Her slim legs wrapped around his hips, arms tightly hugging his head onto her neck and he had no other choice but to hold her. "TaeTae, I missed you!"

"That's Jennie, his first love!" The insecurity hit me when Jimin reveals the woman Taehyung was in love with. This is a nightmare. I'm in a house with my ex, the man I had a one-night stand with who is the best friend of my boyfriend, and now his first love is also here!? 

Fuck my life.
