Update! 💜

Jimin looked away from Hoseok and he saw his face go pale. Jimin laughed sarcastically and looked up, right into his terrified eyes.
"I can't believe you agreed to meet me. After wrecking my home and cheating on Tae, you were out there pretending to be our family. How could you?" Jimin said through gritted teeth.

"Jimin I..." Hoseok stuttered as he felt his entire world shake up. Everything would get ruined, not just with Taehyung but his bond with Jungkook, and even Jin and Namjoon because Jungkook would tell them everything. He had made a stupid mistake and had repented all this while and he never expected that his dark secret would one day come back to him this way while threatening to destroy everything he had built.

"Don't!" Jimin put his hand up and walked to him. His eyes were bloodshot and his heart raced at an abnormal pace.
"It was my anniversary, Jih was in my arms the time I walked into that house. My house. Didn't you even feel the slightest shame before you decided to start an affair with a married man? " Jimin said darkly as his tears fell. Hoseok's tears threatened too, and he held Jimin's hands who pulled them away instantly and looked at him, disgusted and with hate.

" Jih almost died in my arms that night.. Because I wanted to leave and he just.. " Jimin said and Hoseok felt like he had been punched in the stomach, he never realised how much damage he had actually done and all because of a stupid mistake.

" I'm going to tell them. " Jimin said trying to walk out and Hoseok panicked and held his hands.
"Please listen to me, Jimin! Please. I'm.. I didn't know he was married and I didn't even... I was drunk and upset.. I met him at a bar that night, I didn't know anything about him...and I... I didn't even remember your face too well, I couldn't recognise you when I saw pictures of you and Jungkook. I.. I am.. I made a mistake. Please.. " Hoseok begged. Jimin halted for some time and looked into his eyes.
" How do you remember his name then?" he asked and Hoseok gulped and tried to talk as normally as he could, his limbs had gone weak and he felt dizzy now.
" He had given me his number at the bar.. The next morning I checked my phone and found it in there. Jimin, please don't.. I.. I don't want to lose Taehyung, I love him so much. Please, I made a mistake, I didn't even know him.. And I.. It'll never be something that I can justify but I didn't mean any of it. It was a mistake, Jimin. A mistake. " Hoseok begged and cried in front of Jimin.

Jimin sighed and looked at him, he looked so distressed, genuinely in pain. He wasn't faking anything, and he wasn't lying by denying that he slept with another man but here he looked so scared to lose the man he loved, Taehyung was the most precious person ever.

"Why did you cheat on Taehyung? Yoongi had no shame, he used to abuse me all the time, one could understand if I went around sleeping with others to get away from such a man but Taehyung.. He's so amazing. Then why?" Jimin's heart actually broke for Taehyung, he could see how much he loved Hoseok, the way he cared for Jungkook, the way he welcomed him and Jih, he didn't deserve this.

Hoseok broke down crying and he dug his nails into his own arms, the feeling of shame and disgust haunting him again. He had lied to Taehyung, destroyed someone's life and had almost been responsible for the death of a child, all because he drank too much that night.
"Taehyung and I had fought a lot, a guy was dared to kiss Taehyung and he did it, I was there and we got into an argument about why he didn't push him away.. I was being so immature because I knew it wasn't his fault I was so mad at him... He.. It was so bad that he told me it was all over.. It wasn't and I.. I knew it but I was so mad at him and myself that I just.. I left and partied with a friend, I met Y--Yoongi there.. He was drinking alone and I... I.. Wanted to get away from everything. We talked and I.. " Hoseok felt a wave of nausea hit him when he thought about what he had done.

" I knew nothing about him.. " Hoseok mumbled as he looked down at the floor where he knelt. Jimin gulped and knelt down in front of him.
" and so you hid it all.. " Jimin said softly and Hoseok nodded as his tears fell. Jimin bit his lip, not knowing what to say or do.

" I am not a home wrecker, Jimin! I didn't know and.. I love Taehyung, I didn't want any of this to happen. I know I don't deserve Taehyung.. I can't even give him a family and he still chose to be with me.. " Hoseok cried once more and Jimin breathed out. Hoseok looked up at him and cried more.
" I can't give him a family.. " the guilt became more, Hoseok cupped his head and Jimin could see his pain. He sighed and spoke up.
"It wasn't a healthy marriage to begin with but.. I was hurt and so I couldn't stop myself from bursting out and doing this and I.. I understand that you were upset but.. I think you should just leave this in the dark now, I don't care about Yoongi so I am not hurt anymore, I just wanted to know why he did it, he just didn't love me, so I forgive you.. and you can't turn back time but.. Taehyung didn't deserve this. That's all I want to say.. Hyung." Jimin got up wiped his tears and walked out with some chips.

Hoseok remained there, his breathing becoming irregular. Jimin's forgiveness just showed how hurt he must have been in the past that at this point he just wanted to move forward in life. Hoseok's mind filled with images of the time he first heard Taehyung tell him that he liked him, his messy hair, boxy smile, his cute laugh and how much he loved him. Something that had been bothering him for so long was now once again a fresh open wound, it hurt worse now.

But was Jimin right about keeping this ugly thing of the past in the dark or would it be right for Taehyung to find out?

_______________________________________

Jimin walked out trying to seem normal but his eyes were slightly swollen now. He saw Taehyung and Jungkook laughing, and it broke his heart more. Taehyung looked so happy, maybe Jimin's outburst of emotions was a mistake. But he couldn't help himself at that point of time, but he just hoped they would all move ahead of the past.

Jimin sat down next to Jungkook who arched an eyebrow at his appearance.
"Where is Hobi?" Taehyung asked cutely.
"Oh.. Um.."
"I'm here." Jimin turned around to see Hoseok with a dish too and he sat next to Taehyung.
"Your eyes! Were you crying?" Taehyung said alarmed and Jungkook's eyebrows furrowed.
"No I.." Hoseok could barely talk.
" We just got emotional over some stuff. That's all." Jimin said sweetly and Taehyung sighed and hugged Hoseok.
"I'm here." he kissed his forehead and Hoseok began sobbing softly.

Jimin felt an ugly squeeze in the chest and he looked at Jungkook who immediately knew that he wanted to leave.
"Um. It's kinda late. You both should rest too, I'll take them home." Jungkook said sweetly to Taehyung, the three of them exchanged a smile and then got up. Hoseok was barely functioning at this point, the sudden return of his ugly history was too much to bear.

Jungkook walked out and Jimin picked Jih up and followed. Taehyung hugged them and gave Jih a small kiss on the cheek and beamed at them.
"Take care, Taehyung." Jimin hugged him tightly and walked out quickly. Jungkook hugged him too as he saw Hoseok sitting still at the table.
"Talk to him." he whispered to Taehyung who nodded and hugged him quickly, once more.

Jungkook drove back to Jimin's apartment, he saw how pensive and upset he looked. The drive was silent and soon they reached. Jungkook carried Jih and Jimin just walked out and followed. He kept thinking about Taehyung and Hoseok.

Once they reached the apartment, Jungkook lay Jih down on his bed, kissed his forehead, Jih woke up for a second to kiss Jungkook on the cheek before falling back asleep, Jungkook beamed and walked out of the room.

Jimin was in the kitchen drinking water. Jungkook held him from behind and kissed his neck. Jimin  closed his eyes and reclined back into his strong arms. Jimin suddenly turned around and kissed Jungkook. Jungkook breathed out and glided his hands down his waist and picked him up, making him sit up on the counter.
"Are you okay?" Jungkook asked softly against his lips.

Jimin looked into his eyes. He wanted to say something but he didn't want to tell him the truth, it was all in the past and he didn't want to ruin his bond with them.
"Jungkook.." he breathed out and kissed him again, Jungkook caressed his back with one hand and the other stroked Jimin's face. Jimin pulled at his shirt, he wanted him all to himself, his legs wrapping around his waist desperately and pulling him in.

"Spend the night with me.." Jimin spoke softly in between the kiss.
"But.." Jungkook said breathlessly as he kissed his neck.
"We'll just tell him that it was late and your car broke down. Please." Jimin said breathlessly. Jungkook nodded and kissed him harder. Jimin unbuttoned his shirt and began kissing his neck and collarbone. Jungkook let out a small moan and ran his fingers through Jimin's hair.

Jimin looked back up and their lips met again, their tongues brushing against each other's softly and playfully.
"Let's go shower." Jungkook said and Jimin nodded shyly.

They kissed for some time and then headed for the the bedroom, locked the door, you know, just in case Jih woke up and then stripped down to shower. Jimin was so worried, he kept clinging on to Jungkook as the water trickled down their bodies. At this point it wasn't sexual, he needed him. He felt safe with him. They kissed a little more and then dried themselves, Jimin's gave Jungkook one of his pyjamas and wore similar kinds and a white t-shirt. Jungkook remained shirtless and they lay down. Jimin snuggled up to him and Jungkook kissed his cheek softly.

"Don't leave me.." Jimin said suddenly and Jungkook was taken aback. He cupped Jimin's face and saw that he was crying, he quickly got on top of him and kissed his jaw.
"Never. I promise." Jungkook said, pulling Jimin close. Jimin nodded, kissed him quickly and then they cuddled and slept peacefully.

Hoseok sat on the bed in Taehyung's bedroom while Taehyung showered. Soon he saw Taehyung in front of him, his upper body was bare and he wore black pyjamas.

"Hobi. Are you okay?" Taehyung knelt down in front of him and Hoseok nodded slightly but he wasn't. Taehyung sighed and took out something from the bedside table.

"This was supposed to be a surprise for when we told our families but.. You're not okay so.." Hoseok looked at him kneel down once more and the take his hand. Taehyung put on a beautiful ring on his finger. Hoseok took in a huge breath and exhaled somehow.  His tears fell and his throat hurt from trying to stop his tears.

" I don't deserve you.." Hoseok said and got up. Taehyung stood and pulled him close.
"What? You're the best person I know. I love you so fucking much, I'd do anything to make you mine, not just now but every day and second. I would always do things to make you smile. I--" Hoseok cried hard and pushed him away slightly.

"Hobi.. Please let me help you " Taehyung begged and Hoseok shook his head.
"I'll do anything.. If it's about having children. I told you, I don't care, I only want you. Please just--"

"Taehyung, stop!" Hoseok spoke up and cried.
"Please.." Taehyung said as his tears fell and pulled him close by his waist. He kissed him hard and Hoseok pulled him in closer.

"I love you, Hobi.. I will do anything to help you just tell me what is bothering you!" Taehyung said and Hoseok shook his head again. He didn't deserve this man, not when things were based on lies. He deserved to know the truth and make his decision. And with that thought Hoseok spoke up.

"I cheated on you.." Hoseok mumbled looking away.
"What?" Taehyung said letting his waist go.
