Jimin's POV
All of us were packing our things and Baekhyun can't stop whining about it, he doesn't want to go home. He want to stay here, I think he really like this place.
"Too bad, we need to leave this place." Baekhyun says dramatically. He looks around the place, eyes watering. I laughed and covered my mouth using my hands then I felt someone staring at me and when I look up it was Jungkook. I slowly put my hands down and gave him a smile but he looks away. Tss.
I'm done packing my things and Jungkook grabbed my bag in my surprise then hold my hand in his other hand. I smiled to myself and lowered down my head. I can't help but to feel butterflies in my stomach.
We walked outside the rest house holding each other's hands. Then I noticed Hobi, expression unreadable. I thought he already accept that I am dating Jungkook. I think I need to talk to him, I need to know what is the reason why he is acting like this, why he is against of our relationship.
"Guys, let's go now!"
*_*_
We arrived at the airport and wait for our flight. . .
I glared at Seulgi because she's stealing glances at Jungkook, "Back off." I mouthed and hug Jungkook's muscular arm that made Jungkook chuckles.
"She's not going to steal me." He softly said.
"She is!" I said and I looked up at him. He flicked my forehead.
"Ouch!"
*_*_
When we arrived at Seoul, I told Jungkook that I'm going home with Hoseok. He refused at first but at the end he said okay. He kissed me on my forehead and we shared a smile before he let me go.
"Hobi, wait!" He stops and looked at me, confusion written all over his face.
"What are you looking at? Let's go home." I said smiling, he gave me a small nod and after that we wait for a Taxi.
When we got home, he walked straight into the couch and he sat down, I followed him and kneeled in front of him.
"Hyung," I called out, He didn't spare me a glance.
"Hoseok hyung," I tried again. He slowly looked at me, "Is it about him again?" I asked softly.
"Yes." He answered and I smile bitterly.
"Tell me." I said and his eyes went wide in surprise.
"What?" He asked.
"Tell me everything, I know there's a reason why you're acting like this." Whatever it is, I need to know.
"Jimin—" I cut him off, "Just tell me, Hobi." He looked away.
"Tell me the reason so I could understand you." He sighed heavily and shifted his gaze to me.
"I warned you before about your attraction to him. I didn't warn you before because I don't like him for you." He paused for a moment. I bit my lower lip because I felt my heart race. I don't know why. . . I think it's because I'm scared, I want to know everything but I'm scared at the same time.
"When I knew you are in a relationship with him, I tried to tell you but you won't let me." I nodded in understanding. It's true, whenever he tried to talk to me I always brush him away, I always choose to ignore him.
"Taehyung." I felt my heart race violently against my ribcage at the sudden mention of his name.
"H-he's Jungkook's friend that you're talking about right?" I asked him but he didn't answer me. I started to feel nervous.
"H-Hobi, answer me! You told me he's just a friend!" His expression changes into a guilt one.
"Taehyung is my cousin and. . ." He trailed off . . . cousin?
"He is Jungkook's ex." So, I'm right . . . they are more than friends. I felt my chest tightened, my tears threatening to spill.
"I— It doesn't matter." I said calmly, blinking my tears away. It's okay. He's just an ex-boyfriend.
"Jimin, I went inside that room before you." I arched my brow, "I was curious too and when I went inside. . ." He gave me a small smile, eyes filled with pure sadness, he is looking at me as if he felt sorry for me. Just like Seokjin and Namjoon. I glances away, fist clenching.
"To be honest it didn't surprise me at all. You're not the one he loves, Jimin. It has always been Taehyung." I felt my heart got stab. I looked up at him and I forced myself to smile faintly at Hobi.
"H-he love me hyung." I tried keeping my voice calm.
"Don't fool yourself Jimin!" He shouted, "You went inside that room! You saw it with your own eyes! The pictures.. it was all Taehyung! Jungkook hasn't move on at all! He still loves Taehyung!" My heart clenched but I tried to look as if— it wasn't affecting me.
"Y—you know... i-it's impossible hyung. He wouldn't date me if Jungkook still love him. It doesn't make sense to me." I said, shaking my head. Hobi rolled his eyes. I'm still hoping that it's not true. I don't want to believe him.
"Tae, he's a bubbly person. He has a genuine smile like you. He's considerate, kind, he's clumsy too just like you! You don't look like each other but believe me Jimin, you act the same way!" I felt my heart drop.
"He is attracted to you because you remind him of Taehyung!" I shook my head, heart shattering in pieces.
"N-no, It's not true." I whispered. I stood up and turn my back on him. I don't want to believe him. It's not true.
"Taehyung and Jungkook are childhood friends." He paused, "They started dating in High School. Jungkook is madly inlove with him and so does Taehyung." I closed my eyes tightly, tears streaming down my cheeks.
"Do you think he will forget Taehyung that easily? Three years had passed but the one inside his mind and heart is no other than, Taehyung." He said tone sharp and harsh.
"Taehyung is gone. He left Jungkook." I pointed out, voice cracking.
"Taehyung got into an accident and when he woke up. He doesn't remember Jungkook anymore. Taehyung left him without any words, he left him without saying goodbye to him. " I choked a quite sob and I covered my mouth using my hands, trying not to make any sound.
"Now tell me, Jimin! How could Jungkook move on when Taehyung left him just like that?!" I looked up to stop myself from crying but my tear doesn't stop from falling.
"He started dating you because you remind him of Taehyung. Don't be blinded just because you love Jungkook, don't be so dense Jimin. I know you can sense it too, he love someone else." My whole chest is hurting and I can't even form a single word anymore, I just let my tears fall and stayed silent.
"The perfume you're using, its Tae's favorite scent! Remember when you said he does remember someone in you?! It's Taehyung!"
"Tae isn't here anymore but you can't just replace him in Jungkook's heart!" I swallowed the lump in my throat. I don't think I can stand another word from Hobi. It's just too much to take in. Every word pains me.
"You want to hear the worst part? Jungkook tried to kill himself three years ago." I looked at Hobi, mouth parted. Jungkook tried to kill himself. . . fuck.
"Jungkook's feelings for Taehyung didn't change even a slightest thing, we are aware of that! Seokjin is the only one who keep on insisting that his brother has moved on even though he knew deep inside it's impossible to happen!"
Now everything makes sense to me. This is the reason why everyone keeps on saying sorry to me.
"Jimin—"
"Jung Hoseok, stop it!" I shouted at him, he looked at me with pained expression.
"I am going for a walk, don't follow me." I whispered audibly and left . . .
I don't know where I am going. . . I just to walk away. . .
.

I'm seated on a bench right now and it's now getting dark... I sighed heavily and hung my head low. . .
I don't know what to feel anymore. . . pain, anger, sadness. . .
This is too much. They played me. They played my feelings especially Jungkook.
"You remind me of someone, Jimin... and your smell is kind of addicting. Just like him."
I didn't know. I have no idea he's talking about Taehyung. I wiped off my tears.
"There's someone I treasure the most and you share the same thoughts."
"Who? I mean, you don't need to-"
"Someone that can't be replace by anyone."
When I first heard it I can't help but to feel hurt but it turns out it would hurt more when I found out what's the real meaning behind those words.
It's our date that time, but the one inside his mind is no other than Taehyung.
"Did I say I want to hear your fucking point?!"
I can't sleep after our fight that night, I kept on thinking what did I do wrong. But then the reason was Taehyung, again. . .
He is mad at me because of what I said. I was being insensitive that time. Taehyung left him, because he can't remember him anymore.
I knew there's something wrong in our relationship but I choose to ignore it.
"Jiminnie, thank you. Thanks for loving him, Jimin."
Seokjin thank me because I'm always there for Jungkook. He thank me because I love his brother even though deep down inside he knew I'm not the one he truly love but Taehyung.
"Jimin-ah, Sorry. For everything."
He is sorry because he pity me, they knew everything but they played me.
"I'm so stupid for believing that he forgot him already."
I'm so stupid for believing too, that everything is real. But I think it just all in my mind.
"Stop being curious, if you don't want to get hurt!"
I choked a loud sob, new tears streaming down my cheeks.
Why? Why did he keep everything to me?
Why it has to be you Seokjin? I trust you. I thought you wouldn't hurt me.
But in the end you did . . . you hurt me, because you hide all of this things to me.
"Jimin, I'm such a bad hyung. I'm so stupid, Hobi is right. I'm selfish. You don't deserve a friend like me, Jimin. I'm really sorry, Jimin."
I covered my face using my hands and cried harder. . .
"I'm sorry. I can't tell you the reason for now but.. I want you to know you're important to us and we didn't mean to hurt you."
They didn't mean to hurt me? Really? If they just told me the truth in the first place then I won't be hurting right now.
I pressed my eyes shut tightly, new tears spilling from my eyes.
I'm so stupid. . . Why did I let myself fall hard. . . Why did I let myself fall for him?
