There's Three Of Them.

"What's wrong with you Jungkook?" Yoongi, the first one to ask when he noticed the uncomfortable facial expressions of the younger through the whole time in the club. Jungkook has always been the most talkative person besides Hoseok, so when the male didn't let out a word; all of them couldn't help but notice.

"Nothing...?" Jungkook replied as he didn't waste any time than to gulp down the glass in his hand, filled with alcohol for the eleven times that night. The moment Jungkook reach the table, they noticed he drink a little bit and thought it will stop later. But oh, they are incredibly wrong when the younger just continue to drink.

"I need an answer. That's a question." Yoongi replied, giving others a who-knows-what-happen glance, making NamJoon immediately turn his gaze away; not wanting to make it obvious but not knowing that only make it worst. "What happened?" Taehyung raised a question to the older, noticing how NamJoon looked down as if he just made a mistake and now is guilty of it; catching the male off guard.

"What did you ask me? I don't know..." NamJoon said as he made eye contact with Taehyung but broke it instantly after. The other scoffed loudly at the action, silently saying ‘do you think I'm that stupid? There must be something that happened.’ But nonetheless, Taehyung didn't ask further and just continue to watch Jungkook who didn't stop drinking ever since.

Judging by the red rosy cheeks, messy hair, fucked up facial expression; Taehyung is absolutely sure that Jungkook was already drunk. But then again what was the reason behind it? Knowing the younger for years already, Taehyung is very much well aware of the fact Jungkook tends to not drink because he will lose control and possibly ruin his good image as a young successful gentleman.

But then he realized. "What's the name of this club again?" Taehyung asked out of nowhere, causing Jungkook to gulp; afraid if Taehyung knows what's wrong with him that time just by the club name. "It's Club Volnost Seoul, why?" Hoseok replied, and asked at the end; trying to understand why the younger suddenly ask a question about the club. They have been hanging out here for years after all... How can the friend forget?

That's when it hit Taehyung. He glanced to Jungkook who was biting his lower lips nervously before nodding slowly, finally understanding what was all of this about. "Jimin isn't it?" He raised a question and glare towards the younger, feeling so disappointed. It's not like he doesn't understand that Jungkook loves Jimin so much, but it irked his anger at the thought the younger still loves the male after all the bad things that happened.

Shouldn't you be hating on the person who threw you away like trash?

"It's nothing, h-hyung..." Jungkook replied, hiccuping along the way as he continues to drink; not giving two fucks about Taehyung glare. He was tired and had already fallen too deep. He couldn't help but recall all the memories of him with Jimin back then in college. It's not like he wanted to but his mind– or to be exact; his heart, keep flashing those endless lustful nights.

Why did he drink? Because Jungkook thought by being drunk, he will lose control and eventually lose his mind which means, unable to think of anything related to Jimin but oh– he knows how wrong his assumption was when every glass he took reminded him of Jimin. The way Jimin's touch burned his skin, the way Jimin's plump lips brought him to heaven, the way Jimin's lust gaze drilled onto him.

It's all about Jimin...

Ironically never about Aíden.

"That's the most stupid lie I ever heard. You need to improve on lying, Jungkook." Yoongi stated boldly, not loving the fact that all of this mess is because of Jimin. It's not even worth it. "We talked about this Jungkook... You should have already moved on from him. A person like that isn't worth your time. Think about Aíden, how will he feel if he knows this?" Hoseok said softly, understanding the younger; not blaming anyone.

He knows... Deep down if Jungkook got to choose whether he wanted to move on from Jimin or not, the younger certainly will pick the first one. Do you think it's fun to still love the one who used you for sex and then get thrown away? Hell, it is not. In fact, it hurts more than you thought. He didn't want to put all the blame on Jungkook or Jimin because there must be a reason for all of this to happen.

Maybe... Just maybe they actually belong to each other... Who knows? At least that's what Hoseok thinks.

"It's not about Jimin, hyung..." Jungkook said, choking a little bit; trying hard to deny the reality. He wanted to move on, hell he even determined to but his friends keep asking him about Jimin which didn't make it any better. Without thinking further, he stood up; catching them off guard when he do so. "Where are you going?" NamJoon asked as he raised his eyebrows in a questioning way. It's already night and Jungkook is drunk. It's dangerous.

"My home," Jungkook mumbled and walked away.

Jimin lurked into the darkness, deep beneath his lost soul. Knew his worst nightmares and weaknesses were in the older control. Jimin knew Jungkook's heart still beats for him even though he was the one to break it. Even if he stabbed and crushed Jungkook again, to him the older will still stay committed. His fragility was ripped apart, Jimin night was his day. With Jimin's true intentions to hurt him, again Jungkook was his helpless prey.

He reached the car within minutes with his disturbed mind as he opened the door and sat on the driver's seat. "I need to meet him." Jungkook mumbled, not thinking further as he started to drive off from the club to meet his lover. He needed to... Or else, his determination wouldn't go anywhere.

On the other hand, Jimin was sitting on the living room couch; eyes didn't fail to produce gallons of liquid crystal while SeokJin sat beside him sadly. "I'm sorry hyung... I didn't m-mean it." Jimin choked out, apologies for his mistake that he didn't even purposely do for the tenth time that night.

"As I said, Min... It's okay... You don't mean to. Besides, nothing serious happened." The older said, pressing the icebag that was placed on top of his head a little bit harder, hoping the blood will stop from flowing out. He mean it when he said it's nothing. He knows, if Jimin got to choose what happened, he surely wouldn't want this to happen. Who wants it anyway? It sucks.

Jimin opened his mouth, about to protest again but an unexpectedly loud buzz echoed the living room; breaking their conversation. He titled his head to the door and raised his eyebrows, wondering who would come here in the middle of the night. "I'll go check the door. Stay here." SeokJin spoke before the younger could stand up as he made his way to the white wooden door and opened it, surprisingly meeting with a sight of Hoseok.

Jimin's breath hitched seeing his old friend standing there with a soft smile on his face. He closed his crescent eyes and opened them after taking a deep breath. "Hyung..." He mumbled and stood up, walking towards the older who pulled his body closer, unexpectedly hugging him. "How are you, Min?" Hoseok asked after breaking the hug, sparing a smile on SeokJin who watched the interaction from behind.

"I'm... fine. What are you doing here?" Jimin answered and watched Hoseok frowned upon the question he gave. "Am I forbidden to visit my old friend? Beside... I need to talk to you about something." The older said, catching Jimin's interest as he opened the door wide; giving Hoseok enough space to enter. "Beautiful house." He said further and make his way to those couches before sitting on one of them.

"Cut it out. Now, tell me... What did you want to discuss." Jimin stated plainly, placing himself opposite of Hoseok; beside SeokJin as he eyed the old friend; feeling uncomfortable all of sudden. He doesn't know why there's something inside screamed to not let the male enter his house. It's not like the danger warning scream but more like a you'll-not-like-what-he's-about-to say kind of warning.

"Well... It's about Jungkook."

Ahh weLL– not the right time to talk about the male when Jimin almost executes SeokJin. Instantly, he feels his chest aching caused him to grit his teeth and close his eyes tightly; knowing his inner self is triggered by the name. 'Don't.' He warned himself and heard the familiar sickening laugh echoing his head. 'You don't get to choose.' The voice replied sweetly, earning a loud huffed from Jimin.

He took a deep breath and opened his crescent eyes, bringing another atmosphere around the living room. "Oh... What about him?" He asked slowly, rhythm completely changed to sultry as he looked over Hoseok; sharping his gaze almost cutting the older in two. "Well... I heard the news that you work under his company for months starting today. I don't want to say much but knowing you; please... Stay away from him. We met just now and I watched how he get drunk because of you. As a friend, I don't want him to be like that."

"Pft– you dare yourself, here in my house just to say to stay away from Jungkook? What makes you think I'll ever do that?" Jimin laughed at the older, found it amusing how the male thought he could change his mind that easily. "Are you out of your mind Jimin? I heard that Aíden is also your best friend, don't you feel guilty? Jungkook didn't tell this but judging by his state, I believe something at least had happened between you two." The other replied, glancing at SeokJin who sealed his mouth.

"Guilty? I don't feel anything. Also, we didn't do anything yet. Jungkook is the one who keeps coming back to me, I don't do anything..." Jimin replied casually, putting all the blame on the younger while checking his nails along the way. "I don't know but surely I know you need to stay away from him. You broke his heart once remember? So don't do it again. I beg you. Find someone else who could satisfy your needs." Hoseok replied softly, not once putting force on the utterances he said.

Unexpectedly, Jimin laughed out loud; filling the living room with his sweet sickening voice; catching Hoseok and SeokJin's awareness. At first, they thought the younger had something to say but Jimin keep laughing like a maniac; frightening SeokJin who stood up and make his way to Hoseok immediately.

"It's already late... I prefer for you to go home first." He said politely to Hoseok and received an instantaneous nod from the male as they both made their direction to the exit, ignoring the still laughing Jimin in the background. Now there's only Jimin and silence around the room, his laugh ended rapidly when he was left alone. "Leave Jungkook?" He scoffed and stood up, watching SeokJin interact with Hoseok from the window.

He walked through the corridor, leading his way to his room. He locked his door from inside and turned around; facing himself in a human-sized mirror. “Stay away from him.” The reflection of him said from the mirror, caused Jimin to poke fun at him. "You should have stayed away from Jungkook in the first place... You know I'll get in charge every time he's around." He spoke up and touched the mirror, caressing his face crazily sweet.

“What Hoseok said is true. Stay away from him. Let him live his life peacefully.” The reflection said, receiving a glare from Jimin shortly. He hates when they asked him to stay away from Jungkook. No matter how he wants to deny this, he couldn't. There's something inside him that yearned for the younger close.

"Stay away hmm? Watch me snatch him away..."
