22. Sometimes Shit Hurts
A pair of best friends that's always so compatible, almost like enemies for each other but deep inside containing feelings they can't express, it's something Jimin and V could both equally relate to.
Having his head against his pillow in the night, Jimin's first attempt of sleeping would end him up thinking of V, the things he does on a daily basis. They sometimes are so casual and sometimes so not casual, sometimes like friends and sometimes like enemies but that's all that he could do with V.
He still remembers how on a sudden day of middle school everything changed between them over a fight, things never remained the same since. He loved and cared for the elder twin like no other but somewhere Dowoo didn't like it and it all changed overnight.
He still doesn't know the reason and it takes him into another zone sometimes but he tries to brush his thoughts away because a new guy walked into his life, so intriguing for him. And he can't let his mind linger around the one who doesn't even feel the same for him.
Yoongi seems like a nice guy, he has a dangerous aura but deep inside he is just as soft as he seems. He is good at games, music and academics and his personality is a cherry on top.
He seems like a nice guy, Jimin would want to give it a try, let time do its thing and if it brings them closer in the process, Jimin is not gonna run away from it.
But despite everything there's a heaviness in his heart that has been constant for as many years as he has known Dowoo.
It angers him, it hurts him, it kinda breaks him apart whenever he thinks of the other one and the fact that probably he'll never know how many sleepless nights full of tears were wasted for him, how many times that heart had been ached for him and what else not.
He couldn't realise his teardrops soon wetting his pillow, fuck, it is happening again.
Jimin tried to wipe his tears away as soon as possible, tossing over and not deciding to stare at the ceiling for longer. He acts cool and strong for others but that down side of him was still in existence because of a guy and that guy being someone he couldn't convince to love him the same.
~♡~
The pair of new friends who get to know each other in less time, always together but feel like they missed each other when they are not around and that's being Jungkook and Taehyung.
Taehyung has fallen for Jungkook the very first time he saw him. Something about him makes him so different and amazing. That one look being a result of his attraction but once he got to discover the inside of him, things never remained the same.
Jungkook is strong and he's just as soft from the inside. He's silly, he gets along with him easily, he doesn't judge him or ever make him feel any less or any different.
He feels all those great feelings for him but he never for once expected Jungkook to feel the same. Maybe an outcome of his underconfidence that expected Jungkook to just take him as a friend.
He has seen him with that girl, fears Taehyung that he's straight as expected and might never even for once consider him anything but that doesn't hurt him as much as it hurts when he thinks of not having the other besides him.
Be it just a friend or something more, Taehyung loves his company a lot and that's the reason he couldn't dare say or do anything to let himself be seen or heard.
He fears losing Jungkook, even as just a friend but at the same time it's impossible to not imagine a future with him as something more. He'll love him like crazy if Jungkook gives him a chance to.
Oh for sure he would do.
~♡~
Just like that it's another day of their University, same schedule, same routine and same people in the same University.
They are closer to their most anticipated night, something that'll give them a lot of memories and for some they were not even giving two damns about it, like V, who didn't even bother to ask anyone but Jungkook certainly had many questions in his mind.
"Who are you going with?" Jungkook asked his mate as they walked to their class.
"Going where?"
"The freshers party of course."
V only looked afar with his blank gaze.
"Stacy or Jimin?" Jungkook asked with a playful smile but V stopped in his tracks to give him that look, causing Jungkook to drop his smile.
"So, Stacy is it?" Jungkook then asked and V looked away, continuing to walk.
Jungkook casually followed him to the class. Just when they entered there were guys and girls waving at them, gesturing their hellos, as they had just grown popular amongst them.
Jungkook waved back or smiled back at all but V was not even looking at anyone once before he took his seat at the bottom as always and Jungkook slid next to him.
"Next game for the tournament will be soon next week. We have a practice round today, don't you forget about it." Jungkook informed his friend who just gave him a hum.
"Why are you a bitch today? Nevermind, you always are but why are you bitcher today." Jungkook then asked his friend, furrowing at him who simply faced him.
"I'm a bitch or are you?" V asked and Jungkook furrowed.
"What did I do to be called a bitch huh?" As Jungkook asked V rolled his eyes and looked away, causing Jungkook to hold his jaws to make him look at him but shits escalated and they were already at their bickering session, slaps on thighs one after another as V took his hand away.
The best part of it was that they began to enjoy it, laughing in the process and lost in their own silly world until they found a pair of girls standing in front of them.
"Ahem." They heard one of them, facing them and instantly sitting properly, detangling their legs together to sit straight.
"Guys, Stacy might have something to ask V." Rebecca said very excitedly, tapping her friend at her back for encouragement while V held his breath.
Soon Stacy carried up a paper in her hand, showing it to V where was written a question that he read right away and looked at her.
Will you be my Fresher's night partner?
Jungkook looked at her and then at his friend back and forth and soon Rebecca handed V a pen.
"You can tick the first block." Rebecca encouraged, wanting him to tick the 'yes' block and V held the pen hesitantly.
The whole class was looking at him and her, he could see them very well.
"Pretty please? I'll be so happy." Stacy batted her long eyelashes, waiting for his answer and in the meantime V looked around, all eyes on them.
And he didn't wait before placing a tick on the first block of her paper, causing her to squeal out of joy, the classmates cheering too while there was Jungkook, still looking at his friend and his lost eyes.
~♡~
"And if Jungkook doesn't ask me?" Taehyung asked his friend as they sat in their class, slaying as usual in their new outfits and look.
Jimin was sitting on top of his friends table, extending his hand to tap his cheek.
"Then you go and ask him."
"But-"
"I know, I know, you want him to ask you so bad but that'll not be any harm if you do." Jimin encouraged and the other blonde looked up at him adorably.
"Just like that, if you look at him with these eyes, and this beautiful face, I bet he won't deny." Jimin then said, holding his friend's chin slightly who smiled sheepishly.
"You make it all seem so easy for me, Jimin."
"Because it is, you haven't seen yourself from my eyes bitch. You look gorgeous as hell today too, love that shirt today. I knew lilac is your color so I got it for you." Jimin kept complimenting his friend who smiled warmly.
"Thanks for everything my bitch, you lift my spirits high." Taehyung held his hands into his own and Jimin looked down at the other, smiling at him in the process.
"So, when's Yoongi nim gonna ask you?" Taehyung soon shot the question and Jimin rolled his eyes playfully.
"You really are onto something huh, why would he ask me though, are you forgetting that it's not compulsory for our seniors to get a partner but for us."
"But he won't deny if you ask him to come with you, will he?" Taehyung leaned in closer, trying to look at his friend's shy face more closely.
"Look who's blushing now, bitch it's easier to say than to do. Go ask him to come with you and I'll ask Jungkook." Taehyung then placed his condition and Jimin finally smiled.
"Oh are you for real?"
"Real."
"Let's see then."
"I wonder who's gonna go with V." Soon Taehyung wondered and Jimin's smile dropped.
"As if I care."
~♡~
"Isn't it amazing guys, he's the first one to be asked amongst us. Look at him, the boy is acting so hard to not look happy." Jungkook informed the two blondes about what happened to them earlier in the class.
All of them sitting together in the cafeteria as usual for the break, milkshakes in both Jimin and Taehyung hands that they were sipping until Jungkook decided to share what happened and suddenly the table was filled with silence.
"For real?" Soon Taehyung decided to ask but his brother was only busy eating his meal.
"Yes." Jungkook replied and looked at both the other friends back and forth, the two sitting right in opposite of him.
Taehyung was blank, no reaction coming from his side while for Jimin he was suddenly radiating a different aura, being a dark one. His bright eyes lopsided to be done and dangerous, the body language of whom showing how annoyed he was which Jungkook could see.
"Well, not the reactions I expected." Jungkook then said, still looking at the two.
"Jealous clowns haven't been asked yet, that's why." V spoke up, still munching while Jimin made a mocking face at him.
"Don't you feel like flying just because she asked you, why do you think she was sticking around you all this while? Probably she needed a corpse-looking face to go with her to match her dead vibe." Jimin retorted dramatically and Taehyung looked at his friend sadly.
"Jimin… I have the same face."
Jimin faced his bestie after hearing his whine, tapping his cheek as a gesture of saying he didn't mean it for him.
"Woah, woah, Jimin that was too much." Jungkook soon spoke up in his friend's defense.
But Jimin was not taking any of his word back, the pair of frenemies shooting bullets through their gazes.
"Why so bitter, Jimin? Just because I got asked? Stay pressed, Captain Min won't ever ask you." Soon V replied and Jimin straightened his posture.
"Wait, wait, what?! Did I hear you right Mr. Kim Dowoo?" Jimin asked, tilting his head at his audacity, eyes narrowed in an offended manner.
And Taehyung and Jungkook were at it again, face palming themselves.
"Guys, please calm down." Taehyung then decided to speak up but Jimin didn't seem to calm down.
"Someone sounds obsessed with Captain Min, maybe because he didn't let you be a fucking punching machine and showed you your damn place?" Jimin asked V who had to put his hamburger down to answer well.
Jungkook almost held his friend down, scared of what he could do.
"Guys, please, not again." Taehyung spoke up again but the two were not even paying attention to what they were saying.
"He got nothing on me and I can still punch people." V replied, teeth gritting at the suppressed anger.
"Oh really? Isn't it the only thing you're good at, ruining people's day?"
"Guys, please-" Jungkook spoke up, scared to see the tension in between them.
"And aren't you good at forgetting things because certainly you were the reason I decided to ruin someone's day?"
"I never asked you to, so stop shoving it on my face." Jimin snapped back.
"You know what? I might have let those guys deal with you, should have been better." V replied with the same irritation.
"Then why did you jump in? Should have let it be. No one asked you to be my bodyguard and act like your duty is to protect me while you never ever fucking did." Jimin stood up, raising his voice in the process.
"Never protected you, huh? Maybe I never did." V replied ironically.
"Guys! Stop, please! We're trying to eat." Taehyung had to stand up as well, stomping his hands on the table since he had enough.
"Do you guys ever have anything good to say to each other? No, maybe you two never do. So will you two shut up?" Taehyung snapped at the two.
"I thought you're two friends like we all are but the things you two say sometimes gets overboard." Jungkook added.
"Truth hurts, Jungkook, teach your friend to digest it." Jimin said to Jungkook and V closed his eyes, so done.
"You don't wanna talk about the truth Jimin, I bet you don't wanna." V repeated, as if giving him a warning and Jimin looked down at him with crossed arms in a challenging manner.
"Oh well, let me hear your truth mister, what is it?" As Jimin asked, V looked up at him with clenched jaws, thinking of the worst things possible to say while Jimin too didn't seem to settle down.
"If you guys, don't stop right now-" Taehyung warned again.
"Wait a while Tae, let me finish it up." Jimin gestured to his friend to let him be.
"What is that truth, Dowoo, let me hear you?" Jimin asked the other, in a challenging manner and the other kept staring holes into him.
"What is it? Huh?"
"Don't you dare force me because once I say it, you'll cry all night, again." And V finally said it, looking straight up into his eyes and Jimin's gaze weakened, arms detangling.
The firm gaze on the other melted right away, the erect posture weakening and breaths getting abrupt.
That was that very sensitive nerve of Jimin being pressed, the most sensitive part of him being crushed brutally. His feelings had been taken for granted but now he was taken for fun. Humiliated.
Never felt this bad to admit but Jimin once saw his world in him.
And V might regret what he said later so he decided to leave.
Suddenly the table went silent, just V and Jimin looking at each other until V decided to stand up and leave, Jungkook tried to stop but got up to follow him and then there was Taehyung, facing his friend who looked as if he saw a ghost.
Taehyung put his hand on Jimin's back who almost looked like a stray kitten, eyes filled with agony staring at the other's way.
He knew what he meant and it absolutely killed him inside.
And poor boy didn't know what to do but to find the nearest restroom to lock himself up in and cry, leaving his best friend to stand by the door for him, asking him to let him in but he won't because it fucking hurt and he needed to let it all out.
All by himself.
~♡~
The break ended up with Jimin finally coming out with a swollen face and Taehyung instantly bringing him in for a tight hug.
"He didn't mean it, Jimin, I bet he was just messing around." Taehyung tried to comfort but Jimin responded with silence only, soon breaking through his arms to walk towards the wash basin and opening the tap while his friend stood in the back, looking at him with pitiful eyes.
"Jimin…" he called out but the other one splashed his face with water, trying to wash that mess away.
"Crying doesn't suit your look, so please calm down." Taehyung tried to comfort, hand on his back while Jimin tried to tap his face dry.
"I'll go home now, you can attend the rest of the classes." Jimin simply said to his friend whose gaze softened, hands extending to cup his face.
"Hey, look at me." Taehyung whispered, looking into his red eyes, while Jimin was trying his best to not cry.
"I'm coming with you, I can't let you go alone." Taehyung whispered but Jimin tried to take his hands off his face.
"No, attend it. That's the only way you get to be with Jungkook so don't miss it." Jimin strictly said but Taehyung pouted.
"No, I can't let-"
"Didn't you hear what I said, bitch?" Jimin pointed his finger at him, trying to warn him.
"But-"
"Shut up."
Taehyung sighed.
"I'll drop by at your place after classes."
"Sure."
Saying this Taehyung quickly pulled his friend for a hug again who was still sniffing.
"I love you so much." As Taehyung whispered, Jimin closed his eyes, leaning into the hug more.
"I love you too."
"Please take care of yourself."
"Oh don't worry I will."
~♡~
The other side Jungkook was waiting for Taehyung to catch up with him at the art club, looking down at his phone as he waited for Taehyung until the younger twin appeared in front of his eyes.
"Hi." Taehyung simply greeted and Jungkook smiled at him.
"I almost thought you won't come today, is everything alright with Jimin?" Jungkook quickly asked and Taehyung just gave a blank smile.
"Oh, it isn't?" Jungkook asked again and that's when Taehyung just looked at him quietly.
"Long story but don't worry." Taehyung simply said and Jungkook took his sign.
"They are fighting a lot lately."
"Oh, don't you worry, they have always been like this, now I can guarantee the next time you see them together they are already back to being friends." Taehyung assured and Jungkook nodded
"Very strange of them but maybe they are like that."
"Yeah."
"Anyway, how's your ass?" Jungkook then asked, confusing Taehyung who looked back at his ass and then realized, bursting into a laugh and Jungkook smiled just as big.
"You tell me, weren't you the one examining it?" Taehyung asked teasingly and Jungkook looked down shyly, scratching his nape.
"It seemed like it was hurt, it seemed swollen." Jungkook made gestures of something big with his hand and Taehyung laughed, throwing his head back.
"Oh, c'mon Jungkook." With this Taehyung soon came closer to him, holding his upper arm and dragging him into the club along with him and the other as always let him.
"What area do we have to decorate again?" Taehyung asked and Jungkook looked in his direction.
"Whatever it is I have to do early, I have practice after that." Jungkook informed and Taehyung stopped in his tracks.
"Practice?"
"Yeah, tournaments, the next game is next week and coach Lee strictly asked us to join today."
"Oh, it's going to be hectic."
"Yeah, maybe. Also I need my cheerleaders on time, so will you be there?" As Jungkook asked, Taehyung faced him right away, smiling at him.
"Sure."
"There's not much to the decorations too, right? Maybe other students will complete it by today." Jungkook said as they walked together.
"Umm, yeah, we have to do our part before that."
"Yeah."
They walked into the club, getting their stuff from there and made their way back to the venue for the work they had to do.
The manual decoration was to be done by them so that other technical things like lightning, DJ and other things could be managed for later.
So basically they had work for one more day and they were at it again.
They had to work with other students in a group, this time being fake flowers they had to bring together and decorate the venue with.
They were allotted groups to do so, one group making the flower bouquet and garlands while other helping them fix it on the places.
Taehyung sat down along with some other students, bringing the flowers together while Jungkook helping them tie them together, sitting next to him.
Taehyung playfully put that garland he made over Jungkook's head who looked up at him, smiling.
"Goddess." Taehyung complimented and Jungkook smiled in a whipped manner.
"Sure? Not a Greek God?" Jungkook asked and Taehyung took the garland from his hair, soon letting Jungkook put a flower on his ear.
"Look at you, flower pot." Jungkook joked and Taehyung slightly hit his arm, both of them smiling together.
And there they were, other students third wheeling them.
"Are you guys together?" Soon a girl asked, being nudged by her friend for asking it and the two guys faced them instantly.
"Huh?" The two guys asked in unison, just as confused.
"I mean, are you guys dating?" She asked again and Taehyung's eyes widened, soon cheeks heating up.
Fuck, did they seem like that? How cute.
"Oh no, not at all. I- I mean no, we're not dating." Jungkook panicked as he replied and Taehyung shyly looked down, focusing on making his garland.
"You guys are always together, so kinda asked." The girl then added and then Jungkook looked at Taehyung who was busy making his garland.
"We're just good friends." Jungkook explained.
"It's okay, good friends can date too. You two look cute together anyway." Another girl added, the two girls soon laughing and Jungkook's own cheeks began to heat up.
"Oh no guys, not possible. I'm really not into guys." Jungkook forcefully intended his words.
And as soon as Jungkook said that, Taehyung stopped his hands from sewing the flowers together, frozen in his place.
"Maybe you haven't come out of your closet yet." One of the girls teased and Jungkook smiled at the awkwardness.
"No, I'm definitely sure, I'm really not into guys." Jungkook didn't know what else to say and Taehyung on the other side didn't know what else to do.
It was as if the air around him got thicker, hard for him to inhale. He was staring at his hands all this while, playing with the flowers until Jungkook decided to look at him.
"Here, let me help you." Jungkook thought Taehyung was finding it difficult to tie them together so Jungkook decided to do it for him instead but what he didn't know was that something in the other guy had just scattered like a glass.
That's exactly what he didn't want to hear from Jungkook. That shit just pierced his heart like an arrow.
He couldn't even sit properly in his place anymore. It kinda hurt him physically, a heaviness on his chest and down to his feet. It almost felt like he would cry.
And then Taehyung decided to get up.
"I'll use the restroom." He excused and Jungkook looked at his way, frowning as he sensed something wrong.
"But Tae-"
Jungkook then felt the buzzing of his phone in his pockets that he picked up and it was V the other side.
Fuck, he had the practice game to attend.
"Guys, I'm sorry I'll have to go to my practice game, could you please tell Taehyung that I left for the practice once he comes back?" Jungkook informed the two girls who nodded understandingly.
"Sure, don't worry."
And with this he had to go, not aware of the mess he created in the restroom but this time poor Taehyung didn't even have his friend to console him.
