"FALLING FOR SOMEONE WHO BELONGS TO YOUR BEST FRIEND IS EQUAL TO A SIN.."

Author's pov

"Love is not always to gain, sometimes you have to sacrifice your love just to see your loving person happy.."

"And V's happiness was everything to Joe." He added after a short pause making you smile a little at his statement.

"V's very lucky to have someone like Joe because in real life no one is so considerate like Joe." You expressed your thoughts to him as you compared real life to fiction.

"You think so?" He glanced at you as he looked stunned for a moment by your words whereas you didn't think for a second and glanced at him nodding.

"Uhmm.. yeah. Have you seen anyone sacrificing his love for someone?" You questioned as you shifted a little in your place finding a comfortable position.

"Don't know," He chuckled with a sad expression but soon hid it when he found your eyes stuck at his face.

"You know what now I badly want to know what would happen next so tell me when will the book be officially published?" You asked as clapped your hands excitedly wanting to read the whole plot of the book ASAP.

"I..I don't know. I didn't ask about this to him. I would let you know later I guess." He answered as he scratched his neck trying to suppress his nervousness.

"Ohh.. no problem." You smiled making him relaxed that you didn't catch his lie.

After that conversation, you didn't say a single word. You both just sat there under the calm and quiet atmosphere of night. Moonlight shining from the moon falling on you two and cool air providing comfort to aching hearts. But nothing can heal the wound of a broken heart. Only pieces of another heart can mend a broken heart.

It would have appeared a romantic night where two people sitting beside each other enjoying the comfortable silence, admiring the beautiful night view only if the situation was different. But that's not in your case.

They just sat there with silence around them, no words exchanged. There was a lot in their hearts to express and say. But not have enough courage. One was caught up in guilt for breaking the promise of his friend while the other was battling with her inner self, thinking do she even have any right to initiate a conversation and tell him the pain of unrequited love?

And knowing that the day finally had come to an end, made your eyes glisten with warm tears but you clenched your jaws so that your tears wouldn't fall. You somewhat suppressed your emotions and then glanced beside you and saw him staring at the sky. His skin was glowing under the moonlight, which made you admire him, completely forgetting about your surroundings.

Is this how you behave when you are in love? When you saw the person you lost everyone and everything including yourself..? These questions roamed inside your head.

Playing with the hem of your wollen sweater, you painfully smiled as you recalled each memory that you created with him within a few hours, and guess what this memory would cost you a lot in the upcoming days for not having him close to you.

Why are you making it so difficult for me Jimin? How would I be able to distance myself from you, if you continue to be so caring towards me? I know it's all to make me happy for a while, then why still can't control my heart? Why it feels that everything you are doing is not just because I asked you to but you also want it..

"I wish everything was real."

He softly grabbed your wrist, pulling you out of your thoughts, you looked at your wrist and then him. He smiled at you trying to look happy as much as he could which made you smile in return but painfully.

"Let's end this day with a dance, shall we?"

A shaky dry giggle left your mouth as you agreed which made him pull the blanket off you and help you to climb down from the bonnet.

He stood closer to you and held both hands in his with care and affection, placing one upon his shoulder and his one hand gently touched your waist pulling you closer to him. He held your other hand intertwining them in a gentle hold for the last time. Your gaze shifted to his face, and your eyes stopped at his eyes which were also looking at you, your heart fluttered with a mix of emotions, and just then a lump formed in your throat as you were stopping yourself from the mental breakdown.

Angel, don't fly so close to me
I'll pull you down eventually
You don't wanna lose those wings
People like me break beautiful things...

There was no music playing in the background, it was his magical deep soft voice that created the atmosphere more romantic and memorable and all this made your heart more shattered than it already was.

Angel, don't fly so close to me
I'm what you want not what you need
You don't wanna lose those wings
People like me break beautiful things...

You two were lost in each other's eyes while moving your body together as a couple. You just peered at his face which held a beautiful smile glowing in the moonlight. The thought of not having him as your life partner made your breath uneven with every step you took with him. At that moment, you only wished you could live this moment forever in your life.

"Thank you.." You uttered in a low voice when the song ended. He directly looked into your eyes, wanting you to say further.

Taking his palms in between yours, you locked your eyes with him with a soft smile.

"Today, I feel beautiful because of you, I feel loved because of you, I may not mean anything to anyone, but I know that I mean something to you and that's all that matters...

And continued as you pecked his hand,

"I hope you know that you will always be lying somewhere deep in my heart, just like I live in yours."

You uttered having a small calming smile on your lips but your eyes, reflected the pain you were feeling from inside and that's what made his heart clench as if someone had torn his heart into pieces.

"I'm so grateful to you and I know that I will never be able to repay you for how far you've gone for me. I know that deep down I'll always hold a special place in your heart."

You smiled and hugged him for the last time, breaking him even more.

Encircling his arm on your waist, he rested his chin on top of your head and looked away while his eyes started to tear up, whereas you felt your heart racing against his and a smile formed on your face when your heartbeats matched with his but it faded as soon as he kissed your forehead. You felt something inside you tearing you apart as he did that but you closed your eyes feeling the cold breeze and warmth of him at the same time.

You looked down as your eyes teared up and not wanting to make him worry you tried to take a step back but he suddenly tightened his grip around your waist squeezing you between his arms and making you stiff at your place.

He closed his eyes preventing his tears from oozing out. You softly caressed his back as you felt overwhelmed again. You could feel his muscles were tensed. As if he never wanted to let you go. None of you exchanged any words anymore, but just engulfed each other to the closest and shut your eyes.

After a good minute, he opened his lashes and let out a deep breath while breaking the hug and avoiding eye contact with you.

"It's late now... You should sleep or else you'll look ugly with those dark circles."

He joked trying to make the scene light but little did you know he was not really feeling happy from inside.

"I'll still look pretty ok?" You responded as you tried to force your smile at him.

"Yes ma'am." He chucked as he nodded and took his steps near his car with your hand in his.

After a few minutes,

He pulled the brake near your house and waited for you to head out as he couldn't bear to look at you anymore cuz he knew if he did he would lose himself and his promise to Taehyung, but instead, he felt a grip on his wrist making him toss him in your direction.

He found you looking at him with those shiny and loving eyes for which he always fell. He clenched his hand on the steering wheel trying to compress his emotions for now.

"What happene..." He asked furrowing his brows gulping down his words in his mouth when he felt a pair of lips on his cheek, leaving his body and mind numb at this action of yours. Your face was burning red and you were smiling through your eyes but they had tears in them showing both pain and affection.

"I wish you a very happy and the brightest future. Goodbye, Jimin-shi."

You softly voiced out with your lumps-filling mouth and looked at him for the last time before you turned back to open the door. Once you walked out, you didn't dare to turn back and this was it, you couldn't hold him for longer while he kept staring at your disappearing figure, and his eyes unknowingly teared up.

"Goodbye, Melon."

At Kims' Mansion,

Jisoo was present inside Jungkook's bedroom after sneaking from her bedroom and was sitting on a couch while Jungkook was on his bed. He had already spilled everything that was going on between Taehyung, Jimin, and you. After listening to everything, she was quiet, probably indulging in her thoughts which made Jungkook tense about her response to these but she rather looked emotionless right then.

"So, he loves her? Are you sure about that?" Jisoo questioned finally breaking the silence between them to which he glanced at her and nodded his head.

"You think I would lie after witnessing begging in front of him."

"I see.." She stood up and walked out confusing him but he didn't think much and went back to sleep.

Jisoo was heading towards her room but stopped when she thought about something. I need to talk to Jimin

Without informing anyone, she took the car keys, and her coat and moved out of the mansion knowing later she might have to face her angry Taehyung but she cared less because just like Taehyung, Jimin was important too and she knew he must be feeling alone right now.
_____________________

After dropping you off at your house, he drove his car again in the same direction, the same place from where you both came as his mind wasn't at peace.

The roads were empty without any single car, firstly it was midnight and the weather was also not good to even drive but he without caring about anything, was driving recklessly through the roads.

While driving, he began to get flashbacks through all his memories which made his eyes blurry. These included the memories from his past, when he saw you for the first time, and you addressed him an uncle at your first meeting, the time when you started trusting him and became his good friend, how you used to visit his company in your free time, the way you always cared for him when no one was beside him, the best time when you used to get shy at his silly and flirty talks, how you even confessed your feelings to him, and his recent date moments with you.

Just then, he remembered the words of Taehyung which made him pull the brake in the middle of the silent road and his car made a screeching sound because of a sudden break. He stepped out of his car and walked a little, standing ahead in the middle of the road.

He slightly looked up towards the sky and fell on his knees, finally breaking down completely.

"Why??? Why God? Why always me? Am I not your child? Why??"

He screamed out his lungs with agony, tears were uncontrollably streaming from his wet eyes.

"You know that I have never cried about my cruel fate because I know whatever happens in your life happens for good but why does it become heartbreaking for me every time to even accept all of this??"

He spat as he clenched his fists, digging his nails so tightly that his knuckles turned white but the pain was much less than the pain he was feeling inside his heart and soul.

"Every time.. every time you take away those who are closer to my heart, why is it so God? Why is this unfair to me? When I was just a four-year-old kid, you took my mom from me who didn't even understand the meaning of death at that time. I used to get bullied there because I was an orphan and no one treated me well, but then Mrs Kang helped me and I started seeing my mom in her, you took her away too."

He painfully chuckled with a blurry vision as he remembered those days when he had less happiness and more pain. He wiped his tears with the sleeves of his coat, and uttered while looking down with a guilt that filled his heart,

"And now the girl I love so much cannot be mine. I even disappointed Taehyung today. Why are you making me suffer? What's my fault to deserve all these sufferings of losing people?"

"I am not that bad, God. I have never done any harm to anyone then why do you harm me? Will I never be happy in this life? Will I keep losing everyone like this?? Tell me God please tell me it's hurting right here."

He pointed towards his heart with a breaking voice as it was getting hard to speak because of continuous crying.

"I'm accepting that the falling for her was my fault, but I am also a human being, I too have emotions inside me, I too feel them. I tried not to fall for her but it was hard when I knew she too had feelings for me. Please give me my answer is this how you treat your child who trusts you so much?" 

He complained with a smile that only reflected his pain and sorrows.

At this point, he knew no one was with him who would console him that everything's gonna be alright. He was facing extreme loneliness. His face was losing its colour but still, he didn't budge from there because he had to take out everything that he wanted to say all this time.

"Tell me god is this how you show your love to your children by giving them pain every time?" He scoffed and gazed up and laughed loudly.

"Now I believe why Taehyung doesn't have faith in you because you always favour wrong people and do injustice to those who trust you blindly, you always turn them down by painfully hurting them and today I'm feeling the same."

He looked at his wrist and found the bracelet that was given by Taehyung when they were in their teenage.

"I'm sorry Taehyung for breaking our promise. Please forgive me."

He cried feeling an extreme amount of guilt, his cries slowly turning into sobs. His face drained off the remaining colour on his cheeks. He looked tired, exhausted, pale and dead.

"Jimin?"

Jisso muttered as she gazed at him, fists clenched at the sight which was making her heart shudder.

He felt a small hand placed on his right shoulder, as he saw his sister's tear-stricken face. He turned around, instantly, eyes widened.

"Noona, what are you doing here?" She ignored his words and embraced him tight into her arms which caught him off guard. He knew the person, whom he considered as his own sister was trying to provide him comfort that made him feel a lot of emotions. Settling his face in the crook of her neck, he wept like a child, at the immense sorrow that clouded his life. He felt defeated, dejected, lost against fate, again and again, but could he do anything? No.

She hugged him, pulling him deeper into her embrace, striking his hair occasionally, and consoling him, all in vain. She could fathom the depth of anguish and misery but had nothing to bring him out of the situation. She too was helpless. Her eyes glanced upwards, a tear escaping from her eyes, "Why? Why only him? Again and again?"

After some time, when his sobs slowed down, he broke the hug and apologetically gazed at her.

"Noona, I'm sorry but I hurt Taehyung. I broke our promise, I broke his trust in me and..."

"No, Jimin. Don't think like that. It's ok to fall for someone, we cannot control our feelings when we know how that person behaves toward us." She uttered as she wiped his tears trying to console him that whatever happened was not in his control.

"I can't blame you for falling for her because she's such a nice person. And anyone can fall for her charms, she's an angel jusr like you." She smiled, caressing his head and then pinched his cheek trying to make him smile which worked.

"About Taehyung, you know that he takes impulsive actions sometimes. He might be just a little angry but he cannot abandon you. We cannot lose you, you are our family, aren't you?"

Her words touched his heart, he instantly nodded his head in response and hugged her with tears in his eyes.

"Yes, noona you all are my family." She caressed his back with a smile and hummed.

Jisoo was back at the mansion after making sure Jimin was fine and now the important part was to talk with her brother but she was a little sceptical about it. Just then, she saw the poolside lights were on which meant he wasn't asleep.

She took a deep breath and went towards his room which led to the pool area.

Taehyung sat on the recliner near his poolside, his eyes expressionless, staring wide at the water that stood still, in total contrast to the storm in his heart. He heard small footsteps near the French doors leading to the poolside,
when a faint voice small voice called out to him,

"Tae.."

He turned swiftly towards the voice and a part of his misery had vanished.

"Sis?" He immediately looked up to see his sister standing near his door.

"Come inside,"

She settled herself comfortably on the couch, while he sat beside her, anxious enough to know what his sister wanted to speak.

"Do you need something, sis?"

She was sceptical and that was evident in her looks. She was hesitating. Being her brother, having known for years, he clutched her hands tight as if assuring and said,

"Sis, you know you can tell me anything right?"

She nodded at her brother, finally gaining some courage to speak whatever she wanted to.

"I need a favour, Tae." She spoke hesitancy still laced in her voice.

"Anything, Sis, anything," He assured before listening to her demands. His love for her had no limits as always.

"Please don't let Jimin go. Please stop him from going."

Taehyung was dumbstruck for a moment but quickly recovered.

"Sis, what are you?" He asked again to confirm whether he heard it right because as long as he knew she wasn't aware of the situation then how?

"I know everything that's happening between you guys." She firmly stated after she saw his perplexed face.

"Who told you?" He enquired a little serious about it but she shook her head.

"This is not important." She dodged his question and gazed at his face.

"I met with Jimin and believe me he was completely devastated. I have never seen him like that till today. I am worried for him. He loves her a lot, Tae."

She faced down not feeling good about what was happening around but his reply made her look at him in astonishment.

"So? It's his fault to fall for her. He must've seen this coming."

He retorted shrugging and leaned back ignoring her disappointed face.

"Falling for someone is not a sin." She tried to convince him, but he blinked his eyes and peered at her face, a chuckle left his mouth which confused her but his next words made her go speechless.

"Falling for someone who belongs to your best friend is equal to a sin.."
