Chapter Twenty Six

Third Person's POV


"Help me to get close with him."


To say Taehyung was surprise is an understatement. He blinked his eyes, mind not functioning as of the moment.


"What the hell?" He blurted out. Jimin came in his house early in the morning for what? He asks himself looking at Jimin with shock expression.


"I know you already said last night, you won't get yourself involve but I really needed to know everything about him, about us and what happened two years ago." The smaller male continues face troubled, Taehyung arched his brow.


"But  you asked me to sto-" Jimin cuts in, "Forget what I said." Jimin said sternly and Taehyung bit his lower lip nervously seeing how determine the younger one.


"Listen Jimin, I know I did help you before but it was to bring you back together." Taehyung cleared out, "And not to find out what happened between you two and as I've said I don't want to get involve anymore." He reminds Jimin and Jimin's face fell.


"Jungkook is suffering, inside." Jimin muttered, "I wanted to know the reason, I want to know what I did before." Jimin almost whisper the last part, Taehyung suddenly felt a twinge of pain in his heart at Jimin's tone.


"But what if it wasn't you, what if it was him?" Taehyung argued voice gentle and Jimin fell silent, "What if he doesn't want you to know everything so that you won't get hurt?" Taehyung asks, Jimin shook his head.


"You don't understand, he's suffering," Jimin tried again, "He remembered things that I don't! Don't you think it's unfair for him to suffer alone?!" He half shouted.


"Whenever I'm with him, all I could see is pain, not hatred towards me but pain. He may act like one but his eyes always betrays him." Jimin's voice crack and the tears that welling up inside his eyes, came pouring down, Taehyung's heart fell.


With a heavy heart, Taehyung moves towards the younger male and pull him into a hug, he pressed his eyes shut and sighs heavily.


"I'll help you, don't cry."



After a few moments, Taehyung invited the smaller male to get inside and then guides him towards the living room.


Taehyung sighs and bit his lower lip, he is getting worried because the smaller male can't stop crying, he was crying silently, shoulders shaking, making Taehyung's heart swell up in pain. It hurts so bad that he can't even look at Jimin.


"We'll be meeting them later, please stop crying now." Taehyung says softly as he finally looks down at the smaller male beside him.


"I can't help it..." Jimin replied unsure voice small, Taehyung smiled and then cupped Jimin's face to make the smaller male look at him. Taehyung grins before wiping off Jimin's tears, booping his button nose before he drop his hands off the younger male.


"It's red now and it's so cute." He points out, Jimin smiled a little, heart now feel at ease knowing Taehyung will be helping him. Jimin looks down at Taehyung's hands and then held it, giving Taehyung a light squeeze.


"Thank you." He sincerely tells him, Taehyung looks down at Jimin's hand in his, expression troubled, he isn't sure if helping Jimin is a good thing but he's sure it will be fun. Taehyung felt bad for them for feeling this way, for feeling worried, sad and happy at the same time. Taehyung knew it is a serious matter but he can't help but to enjoy it a little because he really want the two to make up and be together again.


Taehyung hopes it will turn out well, he just hopes that what had happened between the two was just a pure misunderstanding.


"Why are we meeting them?" Jimin asks, sniffling, then Taehyung smiled playfully and arched his brow, "I thought you wanted to get close with him?" Jimin's mouth forms an o shape when realization hit him, he didn't expect that they will gonna start already.


"I don't know why you still ask me to help you when you could just ask him directly." Taehyung beamed, Jimin smiled faintly.


"Do you think he will tell me? The last time I checked, he lied to me." Jimin replied, "I don't want another lie from him." He added tone sad.


"What if he'll lie again even being close with you?" Jimin face fell and lowered his head.


"I'll wait," He mumbled.


"I'll wait until he tell me and make me understand everything." Taehyung saw the change in the younger's expression.


"Let's both wait then." Jimin chuckles.


"How long have you known him?" Taehyung frowned, "Jungkook?" Jimin nodded before looking up at the other male.


Didn't Jimin already asked that to him before? Taehyung shrugged his shoulders instead and spoke up.


"When he transferred school here in Seoul, I think it's been more than two years already." He tells the smaller male, "But the other two," Taehyung trailed off referring to Hoseok and Yoongi, "They are my, childhood friends." He continued.


"What do you think of Jungkook?" Taehyung smiled.


"He's like a brother to me and I thought, I know everything about him." He paused for a moment, "All this time, I thought he's the only straight one in our group." Taehyung crack a smile at the last part.


"I didn't saw him flirting with a guy and always sees him with girls." Jimin smiled bitterly and looks away.


"Does he do that often?" Jimin asked, tone bitter, Taehyung grins.


"Do what?" He asked, "Hey, look at me when we are talking!" Taehyung whines, Jimin automatically look at him, expression serious.


"Flirting with girls?" Jimin replied, Taehyung laughs, "Not just him, we all do that but it's just for fun, no big deal." Taehyung says waving his hands, Jimin raises an brow.


"Playing with others feelings is fun?" Jimin asks, there's a hint of disappointment in his voice. Sure they are good looking but they shouldn't play with anyone's feelings.


"You know what? You ask too much." Taehyung spat.


"But it's not nice." Jimin mumbled, brows furrowing, "Girls want us, what do you expect? We have needs." Taehyung says wiggling his eyes and Jimin throws him look, expression disgusted.


"I hope you'll stop."


"That's not going to happen, we're all single." Taehyung says wiggling his eyebrows, Jimin's frown deepened, "Why? Don't you have someone inside your mind?" He asked tone curious.


"I have but he doesn't want me," Taehyung replied, "It's Hoseok." He added, Jimin's eyes widened in surprise.


"Does he know?" Taehyung shook his head, "He like someone else." Jimin suddenly felt bad for asking and a few moments of silence had passed.


"I'm sorry for asking, Tae. " Taehyung grins and then hide his face using his hands and let out a fake sobs, "It hurts you know, why do you have to ask?" Jimin panicked and places his hand on Taehyung's back, rubbing it softly.


"Hey, I'm sorry okay? I didn't know, I'm sorry." He hurriedly said but it just made Taehyung sobs get louder and Jimin's heart sank, unable to think what to do.


But then Taehyung's laugh echoed throughout the room,removing his hands from his face, facing Jimin. The smaller male was staring athim with shock expression, Jimin was in dazed for a moment and then sigh in relief and then lightly smack Taehyung's arm.

Taehyung had manage to convince the other three to have some fun in the Amusement Park, saying Jimin is not happy about getting involve in the suspension and it's their responsibility to make the smaller male happy.



"Let's buy cute stuff first!" 



Taehyung beamed as they walk past by a store and without waiting for the other's response, Taehyung went inside the store. Yoongi with a grumpy expression look at the others with annoyed face and Jimin felt guilty seeing their bored reactions.


"W-where are you going?" Jimin asks stuttering which made the three stops from walking away and looks at him, "Taehyung went inside." He says calmly pointing the store but deep down inside he was nervous. Yoongi's stare and Hoseok's scares him, they both look so done maybe because Taehyung dragged them unwillingly except for Jungkook who's staring at him, emotionless.


"Um... Forget about that, I'll just accompany him." Jimin says awkwardly before turning on his heels and then walking up towards the store and opening the door, going straight inside without looking at them.


"Jiminnie!"


Taehyung shouts his name, he's standing at the corner and trying some cute headband, Jimin furrow his brows together as he step closer.

"Really? Are you really going to use that stuff?" The smaller male asks tone mockery, Taehyung glared at him and then spoke, "I have soft spot for cute things and that's why you're special to me, Just saying if you didn't notice it at all." Jimin blinked his eyes, he was stunned and the without saying anything he joined him and tries to look cute designs for him.

"This good look on you." Taehyung says handing Jimin a cat ears headband, Jimin shook his head shyly, smiling cheekily, "Try this, hurry up." Taehyung whined like a kid, Jimin once again shook his head but Taehyung wasn't having any of it so he forcefully put the heaband on Jimin's hair.


"You're cute." Taehyung says and then he looked up as if he's looking at someone behind Jimin's back, "Right, Jungkook-ah?" Taehyung asks, Jimin's heart stops at the sudden mention of the other's name, Jimin gulped and turned to look behind him slowly.

"I was just practicing." Taehyung says tone playful, Jimin find himself getting annoyed by the other's prank and glared at him.


"What?" Taehyung asks and then towards the counter to pay with Jimin following him irritated.


And then after paying they both walk outside, Jimin stumbled on his feet and nearly fell after seeing him, outside, standing in the corner, waiting for them, hands inside his pocket.

When Jungkook realizes it's them he tilted his head to the side and then sees Jimin, wearing an cat ears headband and staring at him with dazed expression, mouth cutely hanging open and Jungkook can't help but to smile.


Jimin blinked his eyes and when he realizes Jungkook was staring at the headband, he scratches his hair and then lowered down his head, embarrassed. 


Jungkook shifted his gaze chuckling, smile still evident in his lips and walks away. Taehyung grins before dragging Jimin, following the latter.



"No Taehyung, I won't be riding that!"



Taehyung glared at the smaller male and then places his hands on his hips, arching his brow.


"Yes you will." Taehyung stresses out, Jimin shakes his head and then moves towards Tae, clinging on Taehyung's arms, the taller male smiled.


"Don't worry, Jungkook and I will be with you." He assured the smaller one, "But I don't think I can." Jimin said tone desperate.


"Yes you can, I thought you want to get close with him?Jungkook likes pirate ship ride." Jimin is contemplating if he will give up ornot, "You won't die, I promise." Jimin looks at the rides and sighs.

"If we're gonna face him later, fix your face. It might ruined our plan, you know he's a bit overprotective of you, again, if you didn't notice any of it." Jimin let out a heavy sigh and nods along silently before removing his hands on the latter's arm.


After paying for the tickets, Jungkook headed back towards the two and when he's already in front of them Jungkook looked down at Jimin.


"Are you sure?" He asks, face concern. Jimin smiled a little. It's really good seeing Jungkook's concern face it makes Jimin feel contented, Taehyung rolled his eyes when he notices Jimin was looking at Jungkook, eyes shining and smiling.


"Jimin, he's asking you." Taehyung nudges the younger male snapping his thoughts, Jimin glance at Taehyung nervously and then back the other male in front of him.


"Oh... Y-yeah. I... I like rides." Jimin said but Jungkook wasn't buying any of it, he knows Jimin, he's a scaredy cat. Jungkook glances at the other male and glared at him. Taehyung shrugged his shoulders at him, Jungkook rolled his eyes.



Jimin is between the two and he's already trembling in fear even without starting, Taehyung smiles at Jungkook when the latter looks at him suspiciously, Taehyung turned his head to look in front nervously.


"Are you sure you're okay with this?" Jungkook asks again, Jimin tilt his head and look at Jungkook before giving him a nervous smile when Jungkook tore his gaze away from Jimin, Taehyung leans in and whisper in Jimin's ear.


"Ask him to hold your hand." 


"But why?"


"You wanted to get close to him am I right?"

"But does it includes, skinship?"


Their conversation was cut off when the ride started to swings back and forth, Jungkook and Taehyung panicked and look at the younger male at the exact time when he screamed on top of his lungs.


Taehyung quickly look down, holding his laugh before acting up, he tilt his head up and then  shouted pathetically as if he was scared and pushes Jimin on Jungkook's side.


It happen so fast that the younger male unconsciously hugs Jungkook's waist, eyes pressed shut, hiding his face on Jungkook's shoulder, catching the other male off guard.



Jungkook slowly look down, heart racing up in abnormal pace...



And then a small smile appears in his lips before he glances away to look in front instead and simply places his arm around the younger's shoulder, pulling him even more closely.
