Jimin ran.

Where, why, for how long...he didn't know. He simply ran.

Away from Taehyung, away from everything else.

Everything he'd just overheard bore down upon him, suffocating him, making his head spin. Everything around him was a blur, he couldn't see, he couldn't think. He just ran.

Kim Taehyung didn't like him.

Then why, why did he ask him out the previous day? Why did he kiss him all those times? Why did he take him out on dates? All those hugs, cuddles, kisses, late night talks...they meant nothing? Every moment they spent together, they weren't even friends? Had Taehyung really been putting up with him all this while?

Liking Jimin was a different thing; Taehyung said he wasn't even gay, for crying out loud.

Jimin could feel his heart shattering into pieces, sharply piercing his insides. He loved Taehyung, he wanted him, he needed him. But Taehyung didn't.

Nothing felt alright. Heck, nothing even felt real. Jimin felt trapped. Trapped between two consecutive worlds, two overlapping realities. One where he meant everything to the younger boy, and one where he meant nothing.

He didn't know what to believe and what not to believe. All those moments he'd spent with Taehyung or what he'd just overheard?

Was Taehyung only playing with him? Taking advantage of his feelings? Leading him on? Is this what Hyuna had meant all along?

She'd kept telling him about how Taehyung would ruin him someday, just like he'd ruined her. That the younger boy would never care for his feelings. That he should leave the boy and date her instead.

She'd always struck as a dodgy character to Jimin, and he cared too deeply for Taehyung to even bother with her.

Could she have been right all along?

Jimin's chest hurt from crying. His legs hurt from running. Nothing should've hurt this much, nothing like this should've happened. They'd only known each other for a few weeks. Yet it hurt, and badly so. He'd cared too much. He'd loved him. He loved him...

He needed to calm down, to get his thoughts in order. He couldn't let himself go to pieces, though it was exactly what he felt like at the moment, exactly what he felt like doing.

Not thinking about where he was going, Jimin blindly ran into someone, who caught him around the shoulders and steadied him.

"Jimin?"

It was Yoongi's voice.

"Jiminie, are you- are you crying? What's wrong? Oh my god, look at you. Come home with me right now."

Yoongi held his hand and pulled him along. Jimin didn't even try to protest, he felt too weak to do that.

Yoongi took Jimin to his own place, not wanting to leave him alone, and knowing that Jimin's parents would fuss too much to see their son this way. All Yoongi wanted to do was comfort Jimin, he knew the boy wouldn't want anyone around him for the time being.

He didn't ask questions, he didn't say anything, and Jimin was grateful for the same. Yoongi simply led the boy to his bedroom and tucked him in, hugging him, rubbing circles on his back till his sobs turned to soft snores.

When he was sure that Jimin had fallen asleep, Yoongi called the boy's parents, informing them that Jimin would be staying at his place for a day or two, saying that they'd not hung out like this for months.

While looking at Jimin's tear strained face and still wet eyelashes, Yoongi ran a hand through the sleeping boy's golden locks, wiping his tears away with the other.

An anger such as he'd never felt before coursed through him like poison, through every vein in his body. Seeing his best friend in a lost state like this hurt him more than anything that had ever hurt him. He couldn't take this, and he wouldn't.

Whoever had hurt his Jiminie would have to pay, Yoongi would make sure of that.
