"W-What do you mean?" I asked, stepping away from Jimin, unable to stop my eyes filling with tears. Just as I had fallen for him, and accepted this whole relationship, he tells me he wants to end it, "You want to call it off? You want.. Me to leave?"
Jimin looked as if he was in a lot of pain as he answered, but despite the look on his face, his voice was firm, "Yes,"
"Why?" I asked, my voice sounding like not much more than a whimper.
Jimin let out a shaky sigh and ran his fingers through his hair, "I don't think it's going to work,"
I frowned, "Why?" I repeated.
"I need a reason?" Jimin snapped, "I'm breaking it off, that's all I need to say,"
"You do need a reason!" I cried at him, "After everything you've put me through; everything you've made me feel, you can't just end it without telling me why! You told me you loved me,"
"I-" Jimin gulped, "I do,"
"And I love you, too," I whispered. Jimins eyes widened so wide I thought that they were going to pop out of his head, "Please don't make me leave, after everything,"
"I-" He took another deep breath, "You have to," He said, "I don't want to see you hurt anymore,"
I suddenly realised that Jimin was hiding something from me, and crossed my arms over my chest, "Tell me what's going on, or I'm not going anywhere,"
Jimin shook his head, "I can't, Bee. Please, go back to Jungkook and your father," He begged, his eyes sad, "I ca-"
"Park Jimin! Tell me, now!" I cried, shocking him with how loud I shouted, "Tell me what's going on!"
Jimin licked his lips nervously, and then turned, heading to the sofa to take a seat. He rested his elbows on his knees and covered his face with his hands, with his eyes screwed shut.
I followed him, taking a seat next to him and gently touching his shoulder, "Please," I insisted quietly, "Please tell me,"
He sat up, his eyes red, "Remember that girl who threatened you in the carpark?" I nodded, "Her sister was hired by my company. She's been blackmailing me for a few days, and then today she told me if I apologised to her sister for firing her, she'd drop everything,"
He stood up so quickly that I almost lost my balance, "It was a lie," He said angrily, "Tamara pulled me and Kim took a picture to make it look like we were kissing. She told me if I don't break it off with you, she'll spread the rumour around to ruin my reputation," He paused then, turning to look at me, "I don't care about that, and she knows it. So she said.. She'd make you suffer,"
I frowned, "That's- did you say Kim?"
Jimin nodded, "Yeah. Jungkooks girlfriend is Tamaras sister,"
I also got to my feet, "Does he know?"
Jimin ran his fingers through his hair, "I don't think so. She knows that you're weak for your family. She's like a different person, Bee,"
I could feel the rage growing in my chest. From all of my interactions with Jungkook involving his girlfriend, it was clear he really did love her; he was always talking about her, he complained that Jimin works her too hard, and the way he looked at her was so pure and full of love that it made me a little uncomfortable. He even let her call him 'Oppa'.
"We have to tell him," I said quietly, "I can't let her use him like this,"
"Yeah," His voice qas quiet, and I looked over at him, watching as he struggled to control his emotions.
"Jimin," I said softly, "We can get through this together. You shouldn't worry about us too much, we've been through so much more than you can imagine,"
"I know," His voice broke, "But I don't want to see you go through anything bad ever again,"
I moved to him and pulled him into a hug, and he wrapped his arms around me tightly, bending slightly to rest his forehead on my shoulder.
His voice was so quiet that I barely heard it, "Please don't leave,"
"I won't,"

JUNGKOOK
I was a nervous wreck all evening.
The meal with Kim had been great; probably one of the most expensive meals I had ever eaten, made all that much better by the company. But I had decided to tell her my feelings for her, and I wasn't sure how she was going to react.
As we left the restaurant, I gripped the box in my pocket tightly. It wasn't a ring, of course, but a necklace that I had seen in the window of a jewellery shop on the way to meet her. It wasn't one of the more expensive ones, but it was beautiful; a delicate silver chain with a little heart pendant dotted with little crystals. I had planned on buying a more expensive one off of the internet, but this one was just perfect for her; and it might not have been expensive, but it wasn't cheap.
"Hey, Kim," I said, clearing my throat. She looked up at me, her face bright.
"Yes"
"I have something for you," I said, stopping, and pulling the box from my pocket, "I saw it and it and thought of you,"
Her face lit up even more as she opened the box, "Wow, Oppa! Thank you so much!" She said turning and lifting her hair for me to hook it on for her. Once it was secured, she turned to face me, lifting her chin, and I laid a light kiss on her lips.
"I love you," I said, knowing my face was red, "Just thought that you should know that,"
Kim smiled brightly at me and kissed me again, "I love you, too, Jungkookie Oppa,"
I beamed at her, my heart swelling with joy. I wasn't expecting her to answer me, but now that she had, I felt complete.
"Ah, before we go home," I said, leading her towards the toy store that was close to closing, "I need to pick up something for Noona. You don't mind, right?"
"Of course not," Kim smiled, "She will probably need some cheering up, right?"
"Right," I agreed. I hoped that my sister was happy with Park Jimin, but if she was still struggling a little, at least she could have an obnoxiously large cuddly unicorn to hug when Yoongi or I were not around.
