"Jungkook ssi! Is it true that you're dating IU?" one of the reporters asks.

".... We're just getting to know each other." Jungkook smiles but behind those smiles, he wants to screams and shout saying that it wasn't true.

The interview ends after about 30 minutes. All those while, Jungkook didn't say much. He just answer every questions that was given to him. He didn't even act as active as usual. Once the interview ended, Jungkook is the first person to bolts to their rest area, leaving all members behind.

"Jimin ah, did you have any problem with Jungkook?" Jin stops Jimin from walking. Honestly he doesn't understand how Jimin could act that calm when Jungkook is practically trying to hurt himself.

"We're fine hyung" Jimin smiles and tries to walk away, but this time Taehyung stops him.

"We're not blind Jimin. I thought that things between Jungkook and IU is just temporary, but this is almost like a year now"

"Tae, things are better this way. Jungkook just need to mature up." Jimin sighs in annoyance and leaves his members behind. The rest of them couldn't say anything. Obviously there's something wrong, but none of them could do anything if they refused to share with them.

"I'm getting worried guys" hoseok starts talking once Jimin leave. He couldn't hide his feelings anymore. At this point he's scared of what's going to happen to them.

"I know. Me too. Things are getting out of hand. Jungkook is getting grumpy these days. I'm afraid that one day he'll just hurt himself." Jin looks at hoseok with worry.

"I'll talk to Jungkook later. Honestly, I don't think Jungkook is the problem here. Jungkook seems to be clear with his feelings but Jimin-he seems so calm. Almost like he's hiding something." Yoongi crosses his arms against his chest. He couldn't stop thinking of Jimin's reaction for these past few months. It's clear in his eyes that Jimin acts differently.

"I'll try to talk to Jimin about this. I really don't want anything happen to any of them" Namjoon said, patting Taehyung's back, comforting him. He knows that Taehyung is worried about Jimin. They all do. Obviously there's something wrong with Jimin and that didn't just affect Jungkook, but all of them too.

"Let me talk to Jimin. I think he would tell me something" Taehyung said, worried. He didn't want his best friends to be hurt. Both of them should be happy together, not like this.

------------------------------------------------

"Jungkook ah....."

Jungkook opens his eyes and spots Yoongi standing in front of him. Honestly, he's tired and needed a time alone. But having Yoongi here makes him feels a bit better than before.

"I need you to be honest with me. What happened kook ah?"

"Hyung... I-I don't know... Jimin hyung just changed. I mean I know it was my fault to begin with. If only I be extra careful with our relationship, none of this would happen. But he promised to be with me forever! We shouldn't have been like this" Jungkook shows his frustrations. He didn't know what to say.

"Seriously, what happened?"

Jungkook told Yoongi everything. Every single thing. Yoongi didn't know what to say. What he knows is that, Jimin must have something big in his mind, considering the way he changed these days. Jimin used to not be afraid to show his feelings towards Jungkook before. But now? He seems to have lost interest in Jungkook. Best to say, it seems like Jungkook is the one who's been chasing Jimin these day, not Jimin anymore.

"Jungkook ah, it wasn't your fault. Just give him time. Have a talk with him. Probably you'll understand why he did that. Honestly, I noticed that too. We all did. But we know Jimin too well. He must have his reasons. Just give him time to open up."

"I'll try hyung. But it hurts seeing him distancing himself from me. I swear I couldn't breathe everytime he takes a step back from me. I couldn't think straight when I'm not with him. I can't imagine how I would live without him. But he seems--he didn't care at all if I'm not with him" Jungkook lowered his head.

"Everything is going to be fine. Just talk to him. Honestly, I can't say much. I didn't know how to help you. I'm sorry Jungkook ah."

"It's fine hyung. I'll try to talk to him"

Yoongi nods his head. He wants to help. But at this point, he couldn't help them. If this news spread to the outside, they're definitely going to have a big problem. But at the same time, covering the truth by having Jungkook date someone else might be worst idea ever too.

"How'd it goes?" Taehyung asks once he sees Yoongi steps out from Jungkook's room. Yoongi just smiles and shakes his head.

Taehyung nods his head. He knows that Yoongi didn't have anything to say about it. Probably there's something personal going on between Jungkook and Jimin and he didn't want to ask more about it. The rest of the members decided that if the boys wants to be open about it, they will gladly lend their ears. But until that day, they will continue supporting them, no matter what happened in the future.

------------------

"Jungkook ah... We need to talk." Jimin enters Jungkook's room.

Jungkook startled a bit when Jimin barged into his room like that. He closes his game and turn around, facing Jimin.

"..... How are you doing with--with IU?"

"..... You know perfectly well that it was just an act. Nothing's going on between us" Jungkook pinched his nose bridge. He's stressed out with all of these situations. He just wanted to have his Jimin back. That's all he needs.

"I know........... But Jungkook. You've been crushing on her since--i don't know since debut?" Jimin plays with the hem of his shirt. Obviously there's something going on in his little mind.

"I was young. It wasn't really a crush anyway. I said I like someone like her. Not her. Besides, you're my everything now. I feel nothing when I'm with her. Can't you understand that I love you? Can't you understand that you feel the same way too? Hyung.... We belong with each other." Jungkook grabs Jimin's hand, caressing it fondly. He looks straight into Jimin's eyes, assuring him that there's nothing can break them up.

"Tell me hyung, what's going on in your mind? Don't you trust me?" Jungkook used his left hand to brush Jimin's hair from his forehead. He slowly caress Jimin's cheek, trying to reach his heart.

"Bang PD called me just now. He said that the rumors about us hasn't slowing down. There's still talks here and there about us. Said that we're not careful enough." Jimin's eyes filled with fears.

"Let them be. Let them talk. We can always deny it. As long as you're here with me, by my side, I would do anything. Anything at all" Jungkook tried to assure Jimin. He didn't want to lose him at any cost.

"I--I talked with Bang pd. We have agreed to plan another route so that the rumors would go down." Jimin fidgeting on his feet. He couldn't keep his eyes still. He looks everywhere but Jungkook.

"......... Since the rum ours hasn't slow down. I think its better for me to have a--a 'fake date' as well. It will lessen the rumors about us." Jimin slowly retracts his hands from Jungkook's hold. He couldn't look straight at Jungkook's face right now.

The only thing that clear now is just that Jungkook's blood is boiling hot hearing the words coming out from his boyfriend's mouth.

Jimin can't date anyone else. Not even if it's a fake one. No one can have Jimin aside from him. No one!
