<Jimin POV>

"So, what did you want to talk about?" I asked him as we were making our way up the stairs that led to the rooftop.

"Jimin-Hyung? What are you and V-Hyung?" he asked without so much as glancing back at me.

"Tae? well, we're best friends, soulmates even," I replied.

Taehyung and I have known each other since we were little and been together ever since. Before either of us could start talking again, we had finally reached the top of the stairs and up to the rooftop.

"Okay, new question," Jungkook said, "how do you feel about Y/n?"

I went silent from the shock of his question. I hadn't even expected him to mention her. It's as though he has a crush on her or something to that effect.

"I don't understand, why are you asking me this?" I questioned in an attempt to clear up my confusion, but it was to no avail.

"Just answer me, please," he persisted with a flame effulging his eyes. I knew about Jungkook's persistence, nothing except for an answer is going to satisfy him. well, here goes nothing.

"Honestly? I think that she tries too hard." I spoke without a hint of hesitance, earning a look of confusion from the younger male standing in front of me, "Like, yesterday, how she kept trying to flirt with me."

"Flirting?" He asked perplexed. Oh, My dense friend.

"You didn't notice? She kept complimenting my necklace, trying to act all cute-like."

" And you don't think that she was just trying to make conversation with you?" He argued but I knew better.

"Being as persistent as she was?" I asked, in hopes that he would understand my perspective.

"Hyung! Do you even know anything about her?" He asked once again, but again, I knew better, I could see through her façade.

"Do you have a crush on her or something? why are you being so insistent on knowing?" I asked him angrily since I was getting slightly frustrated by his tenacity.

"No! It's not that!" he shouted. At this point, I could tell that he was getting just as frustrated as I was.

"Then why? Why are you so obsessed with--"

"I HEARD YOU TALKING WITH AH REUM!" He shouted.

Suddenly, there was a string of silence between us. We stared at each other as we both wondered what was going through the other's mind. Since when has he known? Has he told anyone? The fear and anxiety of these questions had filled the air with a loose feeling of uneasiness just hanging as we breathed.

"Hyung! Now answer me again," He spoke, "how do you truly feel about Y/n? Why are you doing this?"

He knows. There's no way that I can get myself out of this now. Jungkook may not be the most confrontational person but the fact that he did this proves to show that he isn't giving up anytime soon.

"I— I did it..." I can't do it. He looks too angry.

"Hyung. Answer me! Please!" He shouted.

"I did it for Taehyung! Okay?" I yelled without thinking.

"When did it start?" He asked with confusion laced in his tone.

"Since they started dating. I couldn't stand seeing him fall head over heels for that playgirl."

"I- I don't understand. Why do you say that?"

"Jungkookah, with all of the tales that spread about her —coming straight from Ah Reum, who's got inside information— it must be true." I defended, "Taehyung is my best friend and I couldn't bear seeing him get hurt by her cheating and breaking his heart."

"Y-You're wrong. H-Hyung. Y-You're...you're so wrong." He stuttered with sadness and disappointment evident in his tone. I don't care. This is for Taehyung. If he has Irene then all of this will just blow over and 'she' can stop clinging to him. However, something in Jungkook's tone made me curious. Why was he so engrossed in her. Why did he confront me? He would have never done this.

"Jungkook? Can I ask you something? What do 'you' think of Y/n?"

"She's soft, sensitive. She can be timid but if you open up to her, she'd do the same. She gets hurt easily. And if there's one thing I know for sure, it's that she truly loves Taehyung." He spoke out.

"So, what now? Do you like Y/n? You have a crush on Y/n?" I asked in an irritated manner due to his clouded judgement. 

"Hyung!" He interjected by screaming out loud which startled me at first, until he calmed down and softened his voice once more, "Stop judging books by their cover and try reading it for once."

With that, he turned around and walked away. Did I make him angry? That was the first time that I've ever seen him raise his voice to me. I never knew that Jungkook would defend someone like that. What did he mean by 'read the book'.

After clearing my mind a little, I went back downstairs to my classroom to get my bag. When I walked in, I didn't expect to find anyone else in the class. I did, however, ironically enough, it just had to be the lady in question. Y/n.

She was sitting at her desk, probably waiting for Jungkook to finish his conversation with me. Her head was down and by the looks of it, she was fiddling with something on her desk. I could only see the back of her, but I slowly treaded forward to get my bag so that she wouldn't see me.

When I had finally gotten to my desk without her noticing me, I peaked forward and caught a glance of what she had been fiddling with. Her arm. Her sleeve was rolled up and she was just running the tip of her finger along with these marks on her arm as though she had been scrutinising each one of them in detail. They appeared to be deep. I couldn't get a proper view at it but it looked as though somebody had taken a knife and slashed her.

"What are those?" I asked out of the blue.

She had gotten so startled by my sudden question that she flinched and her knee hit the table. Before she could turn around, she pulled down her sleeve rapidly.

"Oh, Jimin. You're back. I guess I should get going. Jungkook might be waiting." She said quickly and draped her bag over her shoulder to leave.

"Y/n, wait. Can I ask you something?" I spoke out loud. She stopped in her tracks and didn't even dare to glance at me, but listened. "Why are you dating Taehyung?"

After a noticeable silence, she turned just enough for the side of her face to be visible to me.

"Why are you asking me this?" She asked depressingly.

"I'm just asking. Why are you dating him?"

Again, a long string of silence filled the empty room as she thought of her answer.

"Because I love him," she spoke, "he makes me a better person, even when he isn't with me."

Suddenly, her phone buzzed and she pulled it out to look at the notification.

"I'm sorry, Jungkook is waiting at the entrance, I'll see you tomorrow."

With that, she turned around and walked away. When she was finally gone, I started to get curious. What were those marks on her arm? After giving it some thought, I decided to call Ah Reum and ask her if she knew anything about it.

<Jiminie! Anyeong!

Ah Reum, can I ask you something?>

<What's wrong?

Just, how much do you know about Y/n? >

<oh? Why do you ask?
Are you planning on tapping that too?
Hunny, if it's a good night that you need, you can just ask.

We spoke about this. You're not my type>

<ugh, so picky. Okay, what is it then?

I gave it a second to properly think about it, should I really tell Ah Reum about the marks on her arm? Would she even know anything?

Do you know anything else about her body?>

<oh, so You are planning to tap that.

Ugh, you know what,
Never mind>

With that, I hung up the call immediately and proceeded to the exit. It isn't my business anyway, my job is to make sure that Taehyung doesn't get hurt by her. She probably got it from going rough with guys or something anyway.

Authors note.

If you're wondering what my obsession is with Rooftops, I am a huge weeb and everything 'juicy' always happens on the rooftop in anime lol. It's like the cliched place to find out what people are doing behind your back or have deep and meaningful conversations.
