Jimin's POV

When I woke up Tuesday Morning, I felt like shit.

Have you ever felt that feeling where your heart just gets ripped completely out of your chest and your everything just aches unbearably, like you just can't even move?

When you've reached the point of such exhaustion that your tears won't even keep falling?

When the one thing you loved in life was just dragged straight away from you- well it actually hurts more when the one thing you love in life is the one that dragged them self away by choice.

I didn't care anymore.

I didn't go to school.

I didn't want to see Jungkook.

I knew I'd just break down into tearless sobs due to the tears just being gone.

So I stayed at home.

Curled in a ball on my bed.

Hugging my knees with all the strength I had left, and a tear stained, bright red face.

It hurts to breathe.

Taehyung's POV

"Uh, hey Jieun, have you seen Jimin?" I asked the only other person I could ask. "Uh, no sorry?" I just got the same answer from everyone.

He seemed fine the other day. Sure there was that weird thing with Jungkook but...

Wait...

Jungkook?

I hadn't even asked Jungkook yet, I didn't even know where Jungkook was?

I ran round the school looking for the intimidating black haired jock before I finally found him round the side of the school with, Yoongi...

"Oh, back with your old friends then? Just gonna ignore everyone else now? Jungkook, where the fuck is Jimin?" I asked once more, tired of getting no indication as to why he hadn't been at school for 2 days.

"Why the fuck should I care, he's probably at home or something." He said in a careless way, not rudely or the way you'd think a statement like that would sound, it was almost emotionless...

I wonder what happened between Jimin and Jungkook yesterday?

I needed to make sure that he was ok.

Without any hesitation I ran to the front of the school, climbed over the gates and ran all the way to Jimin's house.

Time to comfort the fragile boy I love.

Jimin's POV

Sure I love Jungkook.

I think I always will.

It's funny how easy it is to fall in love, considering how impossible it is to fall out of love.

*knock knock*

Who the hell is at my house?

"Jimin!? Are you in there!? It's Taehyung!" He called in with a worried tone.

I managed to drag myself out of bed and to the front door to unlock and open it.

"Oh thank go- Jimin!? What happened!? Are you ok!?" He suddenly hugged me and I just collapsed into his arms.

Oh... I guess I do have more tears after all.

He pretty much dragged me to my room and dumped me onto the bed which sounds pretty violent but he was very delicate, like I was a China teacup, and that if he pulled or pushed too hard, I would just crumble and break.

He let me just cry against him for a while before pulling back slightly, "are you able to explain what happened?" He asked gently and smiled sympathetically at me.

"I... I told Jungkook that I loved him. And he just threw me away. Like I was a bag of dog shit! I told him my feelings and all he could say was that he couldn't even look at me... what did I do wrong Tae..?" My voice cracked a little at the end and Taehyung looked like he was about to cry, or punch something.

"Jimin if he is stupid enough to give up on someone like you then he doesn't deserve your love, he's just a druggie douchebag jock who doesn't care about anything but his own feelings. You're so kind and funny, and beautiful..." he whispered the end looking straight into my eyes after moving my hair out of the way.

I smiled slightly at him and my heart seemed to flutter a little, but it was still dead, that was just like a small prod you'd give to a lifeless animal at the side of the road to check if it's really gone.

Suddenly as I was spaced out thinking about Jungkook again, Taehyung had pushed his lips into mine, I was shocked at first and almost pushed him away, until I realised, Taehyung actually loves me...

I didn't feel the way I knew I'd feel if I was kissing Jungkook, but I also just allowed my lips to move in sync with his. He clearly enjoyed it and I guess it was some sort of distraction for me.

When he finally pulled back he grinned at me, I'm pretty good at acting... I can pretend I'm over Jungkook to keep him happy, can't I? I don't want him to feel the way I did after Jungkook...

"I love you Jimin, I have ever since I moved, it was like a cheesy love at first sight moment in a movie. It crushed me when you said you loved Jungkook, but I know that I can help you get over him, I can help you feel better, and in turn, you can make me happy just by being there." He smiled and I smiled back, it wasn't an entirely real smile, but it was a smile of sorts.

The aching feeling Jungkook had left behind was in no way gone... and I knew that no matter how hard Taehyung was going to try, he wouldn't be able to fill the Jungkook shaped hole inside me. (Not sexually...)

But why not give it a shot...

"So uh... Jimin? I know obviously you'll still be hung up over Jungkook for a while, but I want to help you through that, so would you be my boyfriend?" He asked nervously...

I thought about all the things I could think of about Jungkook, and then about Taehyung, and then compared them... Before I reluctantly nodded at his anxious face.

"R-Really!? Oh my god! I'm so happy Jimin!" He grinned and kissed me quickly again before just running out of my house, leaving me to sit in shock about what I had just done...

~ Time skip ~

By the Next day, I woke up to the sound of my phone bleeping every once in a while, I looked at it to see it was flooded with messages, all from Tae.

TaeTae
Hey Jiminie! Good morning, I can't wait to see you again today! Xxx

Sorry I left in such a rush yesterday I was a little too excited to contain myself xxx

I promise I'll always be there for you, and if you ever need space don't hesitate to ask, I love you xxx

Wait, you will be coming to school today right? Xxx

After I had read them I sighed, I'm happy that he's happy... But I'm not actually happy... It seems like I'm lying, but I'm not really, he knows I love Jungkook, but he still wanted to be with me.

Maybe I gave up on Jungkook too quickly...?

No... I have Taehyung...

I thought about what to reply before sitting up and typing:

Me
Hey Tae, yeah I will be in today, thank you for being there for me, I'm happy that you're so happy and it's ok you left quickly it gave me more time to think about things. See you later xx

He read it almost straight away before he started typing, I left my phone on my bed so I could get up and get changed before eating some toast then brushing my teeth and hair.

By the time I was fully ready Taehyung had replied with two more- oh... nope, one is from Tae, the other is from my mother?

Tae
Ok good, see you soon ChimChim! Xx

ChimChim... the name just makes me tear up now...

Eomma
Hello, Jimin, I just thought I'd message you to ask how you're doing, I've missed you, I hope you're doing ok on your own with the money I send to you every now and then, did you get a job yet? I hope I see you soon.

I smiled as I read the message, I do miss my mother but I am glad I live alone now. I don't need to worry her over boy drama so I can lie a little...?

Me
Hey Eomma, I'm doing good thanks, I've missed you too! I haven't got a job yet though, I'm still not sure what I want to do or what my talents are... I have summer break soon so maybe I could come over to Daegu to see you then? I'm not sure how busy I'll be though. It was great to hear from you!

Eomma
I'm surprised you replied so quickly, I'm glad you're doing good. Just know that no matter what you decide to do I will be proud of you, and I know your father would be too, I'd love to see you over the summer but don't worry if other things need to be done. Love you Son.

Me
Thank you Eomma, I miss Appa too... But I'm sure I can find time to see you soon, I love you too.

I put my phone down with a sigh of slight relief. It was as if just that moment, being able to talk with someone in my family, just made me relax and remember the good things in my life.

I mean sure, the boy I love doesn't necessarily love me back. But I know I have people who do love me, so I know I can get through this... And maybe I won't give up on Jungkook yet, I just have to find a way to make sure Taehyung doesn't get too attached...

-----------
A.N.

I'm not sure if I like this chapter, I added the Eomma part just as I was writing, that wasn't planned it just suddenly occurred to me I still hadn't explained like ANY backstory and I thought I'd just give a little. But anyway;

Thank you for reading I hope you like it!

Byyyeeeee 😘👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼
