Third Person's POV

Jimin is staring at the young boy, he had this contented expression while sleeping and slugging his pillow. Sunoo slept with Jimin in one bed though it was their first meeting each other, Kibum mentioned he had told his younger brother how he was saved from that incident, Jimin thought it was because of that reason hence Sunoo is comfortable and grateful to him, and clingy Jimin wants to add.

Jimin stepped outside the room and slowly closes it behind him. He finds Kibum in the living room, sipping his coffee. They both looked at each other and Jimin politely bowed at him showing his appreciation.

Jimin averted his gaze and went to the main door. He heard Kibum rushing to follow him, Jimin ignored it and walked off.

"Aren't you even going to eat before leaving?" Jimin stopped and faces the other male.

"..."

"Jimin, if you don't have any place to stay, you can still stay—" Jimin cuts him off.

"Thank you." Jimin said smiling, "Kindly, tell Sunoo that, too." He said lastly, bow his head a little and leaves completely.

"Can I borrow your key?" Jungkook asked him. Hoseok lifted his head placing the mug he was holding carefully on the table. Hoseok was surprise, soon enough, his lips twitches upward.

Hoseok hand him the key.

"We'll help you." Hoseok suggested, "Just tell us any location possible." He convinces the younger.

From that forward, Jungkook had left first. Hoseok excitedly went inside Yoongi's room, he kicked his butt multiple times to wake him which he succeeded to.

Yoongi groaned, "Fuck you, bro." Hoseok laughs.

"Come on, get up, we're going to look for Jimin!" Yoongi glared at him.

"I already told--"

"Jungkook is now searching for him, all alone, let's help the poor man." Yoongi fell silent, face confused.

"Was he the boyfriend? He's acting more worried than Namjoon." Yoongi points out, Hoseok fell into a fit of laughter.

"Don't you find them suspicious?"

"Who?"

"Jimin and Jungkook?" Yoongi looked at him face unreadable, he then yawned and looked away.

"They are like brothers to me, what do you mean?" Yoongi asked and Hoseok rolled his eyes.

"Nothing, dumbass! Just get up!"

Yoongi had a long face as they entered the car, he was not amuse at all. He looked grumpy and Hoseok knew how to appease him.

"I'll buy you iced coffee." With that being mentioned, Yoongi's face brightens as if an angel appears to save the day!

"You're serious, right?" Yoongi asked smiling.

Holding Hoseok's words, Yoongi felt something in him had woken, he felt inspired suddenly. 

"Ah," Yoongi moaned satisfied as he sips his coffee, "What a great day!" Yoongi voices out, Hoseok shakes his head.

"Where are we going? What's our first destination?"

"Han River, if we can't find him there, we'll go to Naksan Park." Yoongi nods, "He must really love that place." He mentioned, Hoseok raises a brow.

"Huh?"

"I heard Namjoon had brought him there." That made Hoseok thinks for a while, "Have you heard of Namjoon? Does he know Jimin is nowhere to be seen?" Yoongi curiously asked, pulling out his phone.

"I don't know, I should call him." Yoongi said and the younger stopped him as if his idea was really off.

"Don't do it." Hoseok said.

"Why? We should tell him." Yoongi said and ignores him. He dialed Namjoon's number but he wasn't answering, "He is not answering." He said and Hoseok smiled.

"Maybe he's in Ilsan."

As expected they didn't find Jimin there. There wasn't any people in Han River it was so silent, and two decided to part ways, look closely to the nearest area. 

"We'll meet here after 15 minutes, alright?" Yoongi suggested, Hoseok agreed.

They tried looking for him inside the convenience store, food stall, and other places, when they didn't find him, they met each other at the said place.

"Let's go to Naksan Park."

"Alright!"

Jungkook is standing at the coffee shop where he had brought Jimin. Heaving a sigh, Jungkook enters the shop and looked inside the place until his eyes landed on the employee who's staring at him and based on her reaction, she obviously knows him.

Jungkook went over her and didn't hesitates to ask her but she beats him first.

"Good day! Nice seeing you, Sir. What's your order?" She asked him smiling.

"Did by any chance, Jimin-hyung... Ah, no, I mean... have you seen my friend, you know the one that I am with few days ago came here?" The woman frowned at him, obviously confused.

"Your friend?" Jungkook nods and hopeful, She tried to remember the friend Jungkook was talking about but she fails to recall that Jungkook was with someone else that day.

"I am deeply sorry, Sir. I didn't know you had a friend with you the last time you came here. And as you can see, there's a lot of customers, it's impossible to remember each other's faces well except for a good-looking man like you." Jungkook pressed his lips in a tight line and nods his head.

Jungkook was about to leave when he saw a familiar face staring at him with insult, it was the Ahjumma.

"What a jerk." She muttered. "You dare to call your partner as your friend? Huh, no wonder he's not with you." She spoke too soon without even knowing the real context was, Jungkook chose to not mind that and bow his head to the old woman.

"I saw him, he was here 10 minutes ago. Look around the places here then maybe you'll find him." Jungkook's eyes widened, he immediately thanked the Ahjumma and left the coffee shop.

Jungkook went over the accessory shop in hope he would spot the smaller there but unfortunately, he wasn't there.

Jungkook was hopeless, even when the strangers bumped into him in the streets, he didn't care. Jungkook run his fingers through his hair frustrated and starts dialing Jimin's number.

Still he wasn't answering, he called Hoseok instead, they told him Jimin wasn't in Naksan or even in the nearest places, Jungkook ended the phone call and breaths in deeply. Out of nowhere, he suddenly remembers, there was still one place he never gone to.

Jungkook is driving so fast, hoping that he would see him there. He badly wants to see him because he feels like exploding if he can't see him, he's worried sick. He was driving in full speed not caring about the consequence of his actions.

Jungkook parked the car and quickly steps outside, running as fast as he could inside Seoul Forest. He was scanning every people that he encounters he didn't mind even when they are staring at him weird out.

Jungkook pauses when his eyes fell on a familiar figure, Jungkook sighed in relief eyes never leaving the smaller. Jimin was sitting all alone with head hanging low and staring down as he plays with his fingers. 

The sight breaks Jungkook's heart.

Jimin stopped and turned to look at his travel bag, he grabs it and wears his bag with his coffee on the other hand. Jimin stood up, his expression abruptly changes as his eyes catches Jungkook who's standing far from him and staring at him.

Jungkook made his way to his direction and Jimin can't believe his own eyes right now. The younger wasted no time and places his hand behind Jimin's head and harshly pulled him with his other hand on the older back. Jimin's lips touches his shoulder through his thick clothes, he still in shock that he fails to notice he had drop his coffee.

"Jimin-hyung, don't you dare do this again." Jungkook said through his greeted teeth and hugged him tighter, Jimin could hear his loud breathing, heart beating so fast.

"Why?" Jimin asked.

"Cause you're worrying me." Jungkook answers, Jimin swallowed, eyes glistening in tears. He had enough, he can't afford keeping his hopes up to things he isn't sure where he stands and he needs to make Jungkook understand that.

"Why?" Jimin repeat his question in spite of his shaky voice, Jungkook pulled away from him, his hands slowly went over the smaller shoulders.

"Hyung..." 

"You can't say that to me without any reason, so why?" Jimin questioned demanding the younger for an answer, he was staring at him with mix emotions, this made Jungkook even more confuse.

"Hyung... what do you mean—"

"You were looking for me, you're worried of me, why is that Jungkook-ah?" Jimin asked him with stern voice, he tried to steady his voice, he doesn't want to appear weak, can't stand breaking down in front of Jungkook.

"God damn it, answer me!" Jimin shouts, irritation swells in him because he had enough. Jungkook stared at him shook, it catches him off guard.

"Just... because..." Jungkook stuttered, can't even make a proper words to answer Jimin, can't even meet Jimin's eyes now.

"You can't do this to me," Jimin's lips were shaking, slowly his tears starts rolling down his face, "You don't get to treat me like I'm special to me then the next thing I knew you're ignoring me. You can't make me feel that I have a spot inside your heart when the truth is, you'll never choose me."  

"You do realize that the way you're treating me is not what a friend would do, right? We are both aware."

"Now answer me, would you rather break up with her and be with me?" Jimin asked silently pleading Jungkook would answer him back and finally gives him peace of mind.

But he remained silent, he can't even look at Jimin in the eyes. It wasn't because he doesn't have any feelings for Jimin, right? Jungkook is hesitating because he doesn't want to betray his girlfriend, he didn't deny his feelings for Jimin but then his silence says it all. Jimin doesn't stand a chance because someone already owned him.

"I get it," Jimin says coolly, Jungkook finally had the courage to look at him. "I wish not to see you anymore, don't you fucking dare show up, it's the least thing you can do. I would really appreciate that." Jimin turned his gaze away, he walked up and bumped into the younger's shoulder. And when he's confident, he's far from him, Jimin cries harder and let sobs leaves his lips.

"Jimin-ah," Seokjin called his name and follows the younger as he made his way to his room, Jimin stopped in front of his room and faces the older. Seokjin opened his arms, wanting to hug the younger, Jimin took a step away. Seokjin reached out for him but Jimin walked backwards, creating distance between them as much as possible.

"I know you're still angry with me but let me just hug you, I was so worried about you." Seokjin tries to reach for him but Jimin harshly slaps his hand away.

"Jimin-ah, I'll do whatever you want just tell me, I'll do it just forgive me. I promise, I won't say anything, I won't leave you like that again." 

"Leave." Jimin said and Seokjin's eyes widened. "I want you to leave." He said again, Seokjin blinked his eyes, he nervously smile at the younger.

"Do you wish to be alone? I'll do it, but we must talk if you're ready okay?" Seokjin says persuading him.

"You said you'll do anything," Jimin says casually, eyes cold. "I want you to leave and never come back. Do it." Seokjin felt scared for a moment, he doesn't understand why his younger brother were saying these.

"I am doing you a favor now aren't I? this is what you want all along." Jimin tells him, his eyes widened as it sinks to him.

"Jimin-ah," The younger turned his back on him and the older prevents him from fully turning away, Jimin pushed him away and looked at Seokjin, full of hatred.

"Don't touch me!" Jimin shouts on top of his lungs, Seokjin is looking at him with those sincere eyes, as if he truly cares of what Jimin is feeling right now. "Not with that face." He said pointing his finger rudely at the older. "Don't look at me as if you pity me! Don't look at me as if you really care about me! We both know what hides behind that mask of yours!" Seokjin's tears begun pouring down.

"Jimin, I'm sorry. I swear I just said it because I was hurt but trust me it's not true—"

"So what's the truth then?!" Jimin snaps at him. "What? You're going to take back what you said and add another lie? You admit you're sick of me, so why still lie?" Jimin cries out, Seokjin moved closer and kneels down.

"You never wanted me," Jimin chuckles dryly, Seokjin shook his head rapidly, "I didn't even notice, why is that?"  He asked, his chuckles dies down turning into sobs, "Ah," Jimin then stared down at his Hyung. "Cause you were a great actor."

"No, no, baby." Seokjin says shaking his head desperately. "That's not what I meant, I don't know why I said that—" Seokjin can't find the right words to defend himself.

"Enough, I heard enough so stop justifying yourself! I fully get what you meant. This is what you wanted your whole life, I respect your decision and won't hold you back."

"From this day on, I don't have a brother anymore. You're dead to me." 

Secretly, Jimin is looking outside the window, watching over his brother as he put his suitcase inside the car. Jimin never begged his family to stay, he just stares at them until they disappear in front of him. Seokjin looked over their House and Jimin immediately closed the curtain avoiding to get caught.

Jimin sat down on the floor and pressed his back against the wall. Jimin is looking over nothing while his tears rolling.

"Right," Jimin mumbled weakly, "I meant to be alone." Jimin pressed his eyes shut, letting his tears fall down freely.

Jimin proceed to hit the back of his head against the wall but nothing beats the pain he's feeling inside despite of hurting him physically.

Jimin stopped and cries harder, sobbing loudly. He tilt his head down and hide his face over his forearm. He desperately wanted to stop the pain. It's too much for Jimin to take.

Jimin slowly lifts his head and stared at his trash can. He stared at it for a while thinking over what will he do next, Jimin stares at it for a while then finally stopped crying but his face emotionless.

Jimin stood up and went over there, he bent down and picked up the broken piece of glass. He straightened himself and stared at it for a while, thinking if it's enough to cut his wrist open. Determined to harm himself, Jimin walked inside his bathroom. He steps inside his empty bathtub and there he lies down comfortably. 

He inhales sharply and closes his eyes.

Jimin smiled bitterly as he remembers he spoke negatively about taking one's own life just because the pain was too much to bear, he spoke too soon. Now he was in the same position as Kibum, he fully understood why he ended up choosing death over living with the pain in his heart.

Jimin pointed the sharp edge of glass on his skin, he gulped as he presses it down and winces.

Jungkook harshly banged against the door, he already pressed the doorbell on repeat but no one is answering.

"Jimin-hyung!" He shouted on top of his lungs. "Please, I know you are there, open the door please." He pleaded, "Hyung—" The door finally swung opened, revealing Jimin. He looked so vulnerable, he looked hurt and Jungkook knew exactly why.

"Jungkook-ah," Jimin begins, his tired voice clenches Jungkook's heart. "Just... go. I don't have time for this." Jimin tells him and glanced away, "Go home, I want to rest." For some reason that scared Jungkook, Jungkook took a step forward but Jimin motioned him to stop.

"Hyung, I... I can't do it." Jimin smiled bitterly, "I know, that's why don't make it hard for me, just go." Jimin said still avoiding Jungkook's stare and closes the door.

Jungkook blocked it from closing and launched inside, pulling Jimin into his arms. Jungkook heard his cries left past his lips, his sobs tears Jungkook apart.

"I hate you," Jimin muttered and punched Jungkook's chest, "I hate you!" Jimin punched him with strong force, the younger endured his punches, he doesn't want to let him go. Jimin tries his best, pushed him hard yet still not enough to break himself away from him.

Jimin sobs, weakly punching Jungkook's chest.

"You can't do this to me," He brokenly whispered, his knees giving out. Jungkook catches him into his arms, guiding Jimin slowly to sit on the floor. Jimin planted his hands against the floor, head hang low.

He felt Jungkook's hands against his face, Jungkook was on his knees as he lift Jimin's face, making their eyes meet.

"I am afraid I can't fulfill your wish, I can't let you go." Jungkook confesses, "I like you too much to do that." Jimin move his head to the side, avoiding Jungkook's eyes.

"I'll break up with her and be with you. I'll do it." Jimin's eyes widens, as selfish as it may sound, Jimin felt incredibly happy hearing him say that, he looked back at the younger.

Jungkook smiled, tears welling up, he caresses Jimin's cheek with his thumb, as he stared fondly at him.

No one spoke after that, they were drawn into each other's stares and subconsciously leans in, meet each other in the middle and felt each other's hot breaths against their skins.

"Can I?" Jungkook asked carefully.

Jimin closes his eyes and it was more than enough for Jungkook to dive in and sealed their lips together.
