Chapter 11

Jimin's POV

I was plopped on my bed, scrolling through my phone to distract myself while waiting for the other guys to finish cleaning up. I could feel the cold breeze hitting my skin due to the terrace door that I left unclosed.

Feeling bored, I threw my phone on my bed as I turned to lay on my back, limbs spreading across the soft fabric of the blood red duvet. I closed my eyes, reflecting on the events that happened today.

From the time that Taehyung scolded them for keeping the house messy, which I found rather unusual as he too does not typically tidy up well. To the game of Jenga that they played and got to know more stuff about the others. And by other, I mean Y/N.

"Y/N." I suddenly thought and smiled to myself. I felt my heart beat at an unfamiliar pace, a speed that it had never been as fast as before. I placed my hand on my chest, feeling the strong and fast thumps of my heart.

I quickly shook my head and tried to get rid of my thoughts. In an attempt to do so, I pushed myself off of the bed and went to the kitchen, passing by the group of six men who were hoarding the sofa. I opened the fridge only to find tons of banana milk.

"Aish, Jeon Jungkook." I thought and moved some of the bottles of banana milk to retrieve a can of beer. I opened it and took a sip.

Originally, I planned to go back to my room and to my terrace to drink and just relax, maybe practice singing too. But, Seokjin hyung called me as I was brisk walking across the living room.

"Yes, hyung?" I asked the elder, who only patted the space beside him as a reply.

I obeyed and sat next to him, which I immediately regretted after I saw 5 pairs of eyes glued to me with knowing gazes.

"So... who is this 'someone', Jimin?" Namjoon hyung started.

"No, we are not having this conversation." I replied and tried to stand up, but was immediately pulled back by Yoongi hyung, whose hands was wrapped around my wrist.

"Na ah, you are not going anywhere until you let the skeletons out of the closet." Hoseok hyung said, mischief written all over his face.

"It isn't that hard to tell us, hyung. You trust us, right?" Jungkook stared at me with his big doe eyes.

Although that made me feel all soft and mushy, I still refused to talk and decided to just make up a lie. "What is there to spill when there is nothing to spill?" I said. "I promise, hyungs. I do not have anyone in my heart."

"That is a lie, Jimin and we all know that." My inner self said, pretty upset at my lie.

Despite my obviously sweaty palms and forehead due to the nervousness that I am experiencing, they seemed to have bought my lie and moved on.

"I believe that Jimin is not the only one who is starting to get interested in other people." Seokjin hyung said.

"I told you hyung, I am NOT interested in other people." I remarked.

Seokjin hyung just let out a sigh and said, "Yeah, sure you are. But what about the blue-haired friend of ours who has been acting very happily these past few weeks."

All attention went to Taehyung, who was sweating profusely for he knows what will be coming next, tons and tons and tons of questions.

"WHO?"

"IS IT Y/N? PRETTY SURE IT'S HER."

"IS IT THAT ONE WHO YOU'VE BEEN TEXTING?"

"WHY?"

"SO THAT'S WHY YOU BECAME ALL SO MUSHY AND SOFT."

"WHEN?"

"HOW?"

Taehyung was, as expected, bombarded with question regarding this special someone. However, he was not as nervous as before. He was quite calm to be honest, after Y/N's name was mentioned.

"No, don't tell me." I thought, mentally praying that my current thoughts aren't true despite the occurrences that I've witnessed between the two.

"Yes." Taehyung deep voice boomed. "I do like her. I do like Y/N."

My heart was crushed after he said that. It was as if a bomb was thrown through a very brittle glass window of a quiet home, shattering the glass and also destroying the contents within.

"Have you already confessed?" Hoseok hyung asked.

"Hoseok-ah, I think he's already courting her. He's been driving the girl home from work whenever he has the chance. Surely, Y/N won't be too dense to not notice Taehyung's efforts by now." Yoongi hyung said as a matter of fact.

By instinct, I started gripping the edge of the couch while my other hand started gripping the can of beer. I could feel the can deforming as I gripped it hard, hard enough so that beer won't spill.

"I am actually quite sad and ashamed to say this. But no, I haven't confessed to her because I am too timid to do so. If I can't even man up to confess, how in the world would I say that I would like to court her." Taehyung answered. I could feel it in his tone that he is genuinely sad.

"I tried tho, to confess. I tried to confess earlier this day but we got distracted due to the noise that some people were making." He continued while glaring at us.

"We aren't at fault here. It was your fault for being too busy being such a chicken and we did NOT expect for you to confess today." Namjoon said, instantly making Taehyung gulp in guilt.

"Sorry, hyung. For earlier today and all that stuff. I just got... so mad and frustrated, you know?" Taehyung said.

"But what my mind can't seem to process is how were you able to kiss her, not confessing nor courting her?" Jungkook asked.

I was so shocked and angry that I stood up. My mind id filled with many emotions right now that I can't process my thoughts well. "YOU DID WHAT?! WHEN?!" I asked him, well... shouted at him

"Calm down, Jimin. Why are getting so worked up over a kiss?" Hoseok asked as if it wasn't a big deal.

To be honest, it really wasn't a big deal, but my mouth refuses to process that. "Well... we don't know if he asked for her consent first or not. Was it consensual?"

"N-No... it wasn't." Taehyung muttered, seemingly disappointed in himself.

"That is wrong, V hyung." Jungkook addressed Taehyung as V, his stage name, instead of his real name which means he is dead-ass serious.

"I know, I'm sorry. I don't even know why I suddenly did that."

"Love at first sight maybe?" Namjoon hyung suggested. "It's a pretty common thing. Perhaps Taehyung here just wanted to confirm if he felt sparks or anything like that."

"I agree with Namjoon. It's just a simple kiss." Yoongi hyung said.

I sighed in defeat, "I'm sorry I just got really shocked you know? But considering that you two are on good terms right now, I guess I don't have a problem with it."

"Liar." My inner-self said. Well, it's not wrong.

"So Taehyung, having fun with Y/N? What are plans?" Hoseok hyung asked.

They started chatting about Taehyung and Y/N, completely forgetting my existence as is sit there while letting out quiet tears. I stood up as carefully and quietly as possible to not distract them from their little chitchat.

I arrived in my room and saw that I accidentally left my balcony door open. I made my way out to my veranda and sighed, chugging down my beer as a shot to wash away my feelings for the girl next door, who was most likely sleeping by now.

"I guess... I have to let go of my feelings for you now, Y/N."
