Update. 😔

Jungkook fell asleep in Taehyung's room that night. He felt exhausted from crying. He didn't eat a morsel, all he could think of was Jimin and how he humiliated him.

But he panicked. He didn't mean any of this to happen. He didn't know what to say at that point. Everything seemed to be getting out of hand.

He was the happiest a few hours ago and now he was the saddest he had ever been. Jimin truly was the best thing that could have happened to him. He fucked it all up.

He woke up with swollen eyes and his entire body aching.
"How are you feeling?" He saw Jin sitting next to him.
"Hyung..." Jungkook hugged him and began sobbing lightly.
"It's okay... I'm here." Jin comforted him. He hadn't told Namjoon and Yoongi but it was just a matter of time before they'd find out.

"Hyung. I messed up." He sobbed.
"I know. We'll work something out." Jin tried to reassure him as much as he could.

"He'll never forgive me, hyung." Jungkook cried harder and Jin kissed the side of his head. He had never seen Jungkook like this. It hurt so bad. But it also told how Jungkook actually was in love with Jimin.

Taehyung stood there helplessly. He had gotten ready to meet Jimin but he was scared of facing Hoseok. After being kicked out, he didn't have it in him to face him. But for the sake of his best friend who was just like family to him. He had to try. At least save his love when his wasn't valued.

"Jungkookie. Stop crying. We have to go get ready for our concert. You can't do this to yourself. Let's talk after the concert and till then Tae will go talk to him." Jin said softly and Jungkook nodded. He was desperate for someone to get his point across to Jimin, but he knew he couldn't do it himself.

Jimin on the other hand had fallen asleep in Hoseok's room while Hoseok himself was in Jimin's room packing his stuff. Their flight was in a few hours.

Jimin's night had been equally rough. He didn't understand why this happened to him all the time. Was it because he was stupid or something? He failed to understand why everyone he loved had betrayed him at some point, Hoseok was all he had.

Jimin also missed home. He wanted to go back to his family and just stay there. He wanted to get away from this situation. He was contemplating if he should quit his job and if yes, then how and when should he do it.

Hoseok was almost done packing when he heard a few knocks on the door. Taehyung knew the room he and Hoseok had sex in was Jimin's. So he assumed Jimin was inside.

All the memories were hitting Taehyung so hard. He could barely breathe. He didn't want to stay there. He just prayed he wouldn't see him.

Hoseok went to the door thinking it's Jimin.
"Minnie.." he said and opened the door.

Taehyung gasped and Hoseok's eyes widened on horror.
"What are you doing here!?" Hoseok asked and Taehyung felt like he had been ripped off of his voice. He couldn't say a thing.

"Well?" Hoseok said sternly and Taehyung spoke up timidly.
"I'm here to see Jimin." he couldn't keep the strain out of his voice and the tears our of his eyes, and he looked down immediately. Not wanting to look like a loser in front of the man who had kicked him out.

"Taehyung..." Hoseok's heart hurt seeing him like this. He clenched his fist as he stopped the urge to reach out to him.
"Please. I'd like to speak to him." Taehyung said again. This time stronger.
"I don't think so, Taehyung. Look, after what Jungkook did. I don't think you should be here. Let my brother live and leave with his dignity." Hoseok said as softly as he could without hurting Taehyung any more.

"You're the one to talk about dignity when you didn't even think once before kicking me out after fucking me. Jungkook just panicked. He never meant for-" Hoseok cut his words short by hitting back.
"Oh stop it, Taehyung. Look where it landed Jimin and Jungkook. What makes you think we'd end up any better?" Hoseok laughed.
"I knew this would happen. People like us aren't cut out for being boyfriends of celebrities. We're just ordinary." Hoseok said.

"Don't talk on my behalf. You didn't even give me a chance. So don't..." Taehyung said walking to Hoseok's room to knock.
"Stop it, Taehyung." Hoseok said holding his hand and pinning him against the wall.

Taehyung instantly pressed his lips to his and kissed him hard. Hoseok began giving in to him. He liked Taehyung so much. He wanted to be with him so bad.

"Taehyungie.."
"Please..." Taehyung whispered against his lips.
"Mm.." Hoseok moaned softly as he kissed him back with more passion this time.

Taehyung clutched onto his shirt as tight as he could. Hoseok caressed his face as he moved down to his neck. Taehyung's hands in his hair. The feeling was so good.

They suddenly heard the elevator stop on their floor and immediately stopped. Hoseok pulled him into Jimin's room to protect his identity.
"This isn't right." Hoseok breathed out.
"Hoseok--"
"Not after what happened to Jimin." Hoseok said, but his voice got strained.
"Baby, we'll fix everything. Don't do this, Hoseok. You know we have something special." Taehyung cried hugging him.

Hoseok hugged him back but his fear of relationships and being cheated on or betrayed began resurfacing. And Jungkook and Taehyung were from the same world. They'd both have done this to save their image.

" N-No." Hoseok let go of Taehyung, who at this point was just done.
"Fine, I knew it. But I just.. . Could you please just....Tell Jimin I came to meet him. And I'd like to talk to him, privately. This is my number." Taehyung said giving Hoseok a card.

The fact that Taehyung had just given up convincing Hoseok at this point said a lot about how scared and humiliated he himself was. Hoseok wanted to say something but he couldn't.
"Actually we're.." he wanted to tell Tae they were leaving but he couldn't. It felt like he'd lose Tae forever which he didn't want.

What did he even want? Hoseok's conscience screamed.

"I'll tell him." Hoseok said timidly and Taehyung nodded.
"Also, Hoseok. Just know this that I tried." Taehyung said bitterly and walked off.
"I know..." Hoseok whispered after he left and a tear fell from his eye.
