Jimin had this peculiar feeling that Jungkook didn't like him.

Jungkook had barely gotten out of his room after he had come home, Jimin had concerned to Yoongi about it but the elder had said that Jungkook had gone through so much, he just needed some time.

Whenever Jungkook got out of his room and Jimin tried to make a conversation, he'd shove him away or simply not answer. Jimin didn't know what he'd done wrong. But he could only guess that it had something to do with his and Taehyung's relationship. What else would it be? He's never even met Jungkook before he showed up in front of him less than a week ago.

Maybe Taehyung told Jungkook that they slept together and Jungkook got jealous. Maybe it was because he thought that he was still on Taehyung's side. Maybe because he thought Jimin was the one who killed Yoongi's brother. 

Nonetheless, he needed to clear it to Jungkook what he was dealing with, what Taehyung had installed in his brain.

With that, he was knocking on Jungkook's door once and stepping in. He spotted the taller male doing something on the TV cabinet in front of his bed.

Jimin inhaled sharply.

"Jungkook, can we talk?"

Jungkook turned around to face the shorter with wide eyes, startled by his presence. He analyzed him for a while, and perhaps he realised what Jimin wanted to talk about because he said "Go away" and averted his attention back to what looked like wires connected to his TV.

Jimin cleared his throat to gather himself up. "No, I need to clear up whatever spite is between you and me."

Jungkook scoffed gruffly. "There's nothing between you and me."

Jimin furrowed his eyebrows together, not understanding where he had gone wrong, he had barely met the man and he was acting so... indifferent towards him. Why?

"Is it because of Taehyung? Listen, him and I-"

"I don't care." He cut him off dryly.

Jimin paused for a while. He knew Jungkook was hurting, he could see it on his face that he was too affected by whatever Taehyung had done to him. Yes, Jungkook was an emotionally strong man, hell, he was here not trying to take his own life after being encountered by Taehyung. But Jimin could be one of the few humans who could see through his shit.

"Taehyung and I are nothing more than acquaintances. Were, actually. He's terrible and we never were-"

"What part of 'I don't care' do you not understand?" Jungkook demanded, stepping closer to Jimin. He was taller so he could easily tower the elder but Jimin getting intimidated wasn't in Jimin's being so he stood where he was, looking into Jungkook's eyes. "I get it. You're an attention whore. Everyone wants you, everyone likes you so you've gotten insatiable for it. But you won't get it from me, so you can save your breath and go away."

"What...?" Jimin whispered. "Attention what- what are you talking about?"

Jungkook laughed loudly, obnoxious and humourless, throwing his head back.

"Oh, you act so innocent, pretty doll. It won't work on me. I see right through your shit. You're still working with Taehyung."

"What? I'm not- I'm not working with Taehyung. Hell, I haven't even talked to him for over a year now-"

Jungkook clicked his tongue. "Was it not yours and Taehyung's plan to emotionally weaken us, then kill us and take over the estate?!"

"No! Not at all!"

"Am I supposed to believe you weren't sent to kill us?"

"I was but- but then I found Yoongi and I-"

Jungkook hummed. "Right yes, let's talk about Yoongi. Stop playing with him, he actually cares for you. And as much of a bastard he is- I'll rip your guts apart if you try to hurt him one more time."

"I'm not playing with him! I love him you piece of-!"

For the second time during this conversation, Jungkook laughed loudly. Sarcasm dripping from it. Jimin pursed his lips, he came here to help Jungkook. To help him see what Taehyung was doing to him. But instead, the taller man was turning it back on him with false accusations, he won't stand and take the disrespect.

"Listen, I came here to clear up the fact that I and Taehyung have nothing near to romantic in case you were interpreting that. We don't share a bond. I don't know what he did to you but just know that it's not what I did to Yoongi. I never will."

"If you and Taehyung don't share anything then why is he so hell-bent on killing me for you?!" Jungkook shouted, making Jimin flinch. "Don't you see it?! Taehyung loves you! Fuck! Everyone loves you! Everyone chooses you over me like the- like you're the only thing that matters. I'm just a sidekick for everyone."

"I don't understand what-?" Jimin stammered. What was Jungkook saying? What sidekick?

"I love Taehyung so much," Jungkook whispered. "He used it against me. Manipulated me over and over again because he wanted to protect you. Even Yoongi chooses you. My best friend."

"Are you out of your mind?! Are you really comparing Yoongi with Taehyung? Taehyung and Yoongi are a lot different and you know it! That sick fuck feeds on your mind, Jungkook. He's a fucking parasite to your thoughts and emotions. The more confused and traumatized you are, the more he'll get off on it. It's Kim Taehyung you're dealing with."

"And it's Min Yoongi you're dealing with but you don't see him that way, do you?! Do you get intimidated by what power Yoongi holds? He's simply yours, isn't he? Your person. That's exactly how I feel about Taehyung. But he doesn't feel anything back for me. He just...uses me...and protects you."

"He doesn't protect me." Jimin gritted his teeth together. "He lies and isolates me. That's what he does, that's what he'll do to you if you don't listen to me!"

"He's already done worse to me, you idiot! And that was to protect you! Every time I took your name, I had a gun pointed at my head. I was just doing my job, I didn't deserve it. Y-Yet, I came back to him because I loved him, what did I get in return?!"

Jimin was silent, mostly because Jungkook looked like he was on the verge of breaking down. He loved Taehyung, and Taehyung being himself screwed his one chance of actually getting someone to care for him. Bloody psychopaths.

"The world revolves around you. Even the person I consider my world revolves around you."

"I didn't choose it to be like that! I-I'm sorry that he did that but-"

"Get out!"

That was it for Jimin. He couldn't hear it anymore, he knew Jungkook was in pain but he realised that it wasn't his place to console him. Not when all Jungkook did was say 'everything is about you'. Nothing has ever been about him in this world, he had barely had a life before he met Yoongi. His one person. He didn't deserve to be accused of it.

With that, he was getting out of the younger's room, stomping his way across the hallways until he reached Yoongi's room. He went straight into the bathroom, wanting to stand under the shower.

When he opened the door to it, Yoongi was already inside, standing in front of the sink. He turned around when he heard the door open, seeing a very distressed looking Jimin standing at the entrance.

"Little mob?"

Jimin sniffled and looked away.

"Jimin, are you crying?"

The younger shook his head, not wanting to face Yoongi. Not after what all Jungkook had accused him of. He had just wanted to clear things up, because he hated the fact that someone was hating him without really knowing him. Furthermore predicting that he was an attention seeker and was secretly still against Yoongi.

"We're past hiding our tears, little mob." Yoongi reminded, stepping closer to the younger and taking his face between his hands. "What happened?"

Jimin analysed Yoongi. There was no way he could play with him. He would never treat him the way Taehyung treated Jungkook. Never.

"I just- I don't think I'm cut out to make friends, Yoongi."

"Why would you think that?"

"Well because I have none!" Jimin yelled. "Every time I try to talk I mess it up. Now, Jungkook's angry with me and I don't even know for what reason. I barely met him and I'm already giving him reasons to despise me."

"No, no...you're perfect. Jungkook's just going through a lot. And knowing him... he'd lash out on anyone."

"No... He said some stuff about you and Taehyung being alike and how I want to hurt you just how Taehyung did to him. He said- said that everyone chooses me and shoves him away... I don't even- when had anyone ever chosen me because they actually care for me before you?! He said Taehyung chose me above him, yeah like he doesn't have his ulterior motives behind it!"

"Hey..." Yoongi hushed, pulling the younger into a hug. He had grown to hug Jimin more often than before, the urge to protect washing over him every time he saw the younger. "You know whatever he said was out of spite, Jimin, it's not true. You could never hurt me. I and Taehyung are totally different and as much as I'd like to believe that we're the main characters over here...the truth is everyone is the main character of their own lives. What I'm really worried about is Jungkook. What Taehyung has done to him. Every time I ask him what's going on he neglects the topic. Let me go and talk to him."

Jimin nodded. "I really don't want Taehyung's attention over me, Jungkook needs to know that."

"Yes, and I think that he also needs someone to sit and talk to him. Really understand what's he's been going through."
