Chapter 24
Jimin's POV
"YOU WHAT?!" I could hear Jin hyung's loud scream from the living room. I just came out of the bathroom, drying my hair with a towel.
"I'm serious, hyung." Taehyung's ddep voice boomed. He sounded so serious which was not very Taehyung-like which made me very curious.
"Y-You can't just-" Jin hyung was about to retort when Taehyung suddenly stood up.
With all his might, the younger shouted, "I'm GONNA BE PROPOSING TO Y/N THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW! AND NONE OF YOU CAN STOP ME." Taehyung screamed and run up to his and Jungkook's shared room.
I dropped my towel, creating a loud sound that made all of their attention go to me. I was shocked, how could Taehyung just propose to her? They aren't even in a relationship?!
Seokjin hyung placed his hand over his forehead as he sat down on the couch. He looked stressed, and most probably sad that I got to hear Taehyung's declaration.
Namjoon hyung went to Seokjin's aid, massaging the older's broad shoulders in hopes to make him calm down.
"He's kidding, right?" I said, trying to keep my tears at bay. I can feel them wanting to slide down my cheeks as the moment passes.
"By the tone of his voice... I'm guessing he is." Jungkook muttered.
No one spoke after; it was just silence, pure deafening silence. Hoseok seemed to be feeling the awkwardness that is looming around the house and decided to break it, "Why are you feeling gloomy about it? We should be happy and support him for finding someone that he wants to settle down with." He smiled at the end, showing his heart-shaped grin that can make anyone smile back.
"I don't know hyung. It just doesn't feel right that you are gonna be proposing to someone who isn't even your girlfriend, let alone someone you haven't even confessed to!" Seokjin hyung exclaimed as his face turned a shade of red.
"Hyung, calm down. Why are you so worked up?" Namjoon hyung said as he caressed the elder's shoulder harder. "Don't tell me you have feelings for Y/N?" He continued, Jin hyung swatting his hands away afterwards.
"I DO NOT!" He said.
"Then why are you so mad?"
I can feel the gears in Jin hyung's mind are starting to heat up so I decided to step in, "He has a point, tho. It's a bit unusual to propose to someone who you don't even know if they like you back?"
"I'm with Jimin-ssi on this one." The youngest said. I rolled my eyes, letting the nickname slide just because I'm preoccupied with my feelings at the moment.
"Well... it's not really a problem. What's wrong with proposing to someone who you like?" Hoseok commented.
"Plus, have you guys seen the way they interact? Surely, Y/N feels the same for Taehyung." Namjoon said.
"Now I don't know whose side I'm on..." Jungkook said his thoughts.
"Let's just not pick a side." Yoongi hyung said as he patted the younger's shoulders.
The room fell quiet as no one wanted to speak. Picking up my towel, a tear dropped so I used the said towel to wipe it off as subtle as possible.
With a cracked voice, I said, "L-Let me go check on Taehyung." I said as I rushed to – not Jungkook's room – but to my room.
I sprawled on my bed, my arms on either side as I breathed in and out. Tears started falling form my cheeks to my sheets and soon enough, the sheets near my face was pretty much wet.
Looking at my nightstand, I saw the red heart origami that was made by Y/N a few months ago. I carefully held it in my hands, admiring at how perfect Y/N made it.
"Congrats! You'll be engaged tomorrow." I said to the piece of paper as if I was talking to the one who made it. I smiled bitterly as I placed it back, plopping a pillow on my face soon after.
A series of knocks interrupted my cries. "Hyung? Can we talk, please?"
I sat up and wipe my tears as fast as I could, "Come in!"
The door opened, revealing Kim Taehyung whose hair was disheveled, eyes were puffy, and cheks wet glistening with tear stains. "H-Hyung."
He ran to me with his arms wide open. I opened mine just in time for him to crash onto me, resulting t the both of us crashing down on my bed.
"Y-Yah... that hurt." I let out a few giggles which immediately faded once I heard the other's sniffles.
"Why are you crying? D-Don't cry..." I could feel myself crying as I stared at the younger's face.
"H-Hyung... you support my decision, right? You agree that I can do it, right?" He asked me. He looked desperate for answers.
I suddenly felt bad. I felt guilty for ever catching feelings for Y/N. Honestly, if I could do it at this moment, I would give up Y/N to Taehyung no doubt. But I can't, my feelings for her are just too strong.
"Y-Yes, Taetae." I said as I rubbed circles on his back. I just want to soothe this little baby boy.
"Really?" He looked up at me. A grin slowly forming on his face.
I smiled back, "Really."

"So... what should I buy for Y/N for tomorrow. What should I do?!" I could feel him panicking in my arms.
We are currently cuddling on my bed as we both stared at the ceiling. I thought for a bit. Even though my heart is aching this very moment, I still wanted to help him.
"You know, Y/N is an extraordinary girl, so you better get her a bouquet of flowers. Not those red roses basic stuff, you know. Probably something more, unique." I said.
"I understand you hyung." He said as he let out a sigh.
I let out a breath too as I looked at him. "Taehyung-ah." I called him, and he looked back at me.
"Are you sure about your decision now?"
"What do you mean? Of course I am. Marriage is not a a joke, hyung." He said. I smiled, thinking that Y/N will be alright in his arms.
"Take care of her, okay?" I told him.
"I will..." He said as he smiled proudly.
"Butterflies... she likes butterflies."
