- Lee Minseo's POV -

We arrived at the nearest cafe after a long stroll around the town, and we ordered some drinks and muffins from the till. After buying them, we looked round for a table, but couldn't find any.
"Hey look! Jimin and Yoongi are sat over there, let's go sit with them!" I gestured over to the two guys, who were sat on a four-seater bench in the corner of the room.

I turned to look at Jungkook, but he just gave me a weak smile in return.

"Hey guys," I smiled as we walked over. "Can we sit with you?"
"Sure." Yoongi replied, and I sat next to him whilst Jungkook sat next to Jimin. I watched as he stared at Jimin with hatred in his eyes. That's not how you stare at a friend.

"Damn, I can feel the tension from over here." Yoongi commented as I took a sip out of my coffee. "Do you think it's thick enough to cut with a knife?"
"Yep." I sighed. "I've been wondering the same thing too."
"What?" Jimin's asked, and I noticed that Jungkook began to tap his finger against the table repeatedly; something he does when he's pissed off.

"Hey, Minseo." Yoongi began. "I think we should wait outside a minute and let these guys talk it out." Yoongi looked at me, and I nodded, the both of is standing up and making our way outside.
"We'll be back in a minute!" I called, flashing a smile at Jungkook.

Once we were outside, Yoongi turned to face me.
"I've been meaning to ask how things are with... you know who.." He sighed, his voice trailing off into a mere whisper.
"It's gotten worse." I told him. "He was the one who... you know... did that to Yugyeom, and Jungkook."
"Do you know why?" He pursued.
"I think so." I replied. "Jongin had a small crush on me, and Yugyeom said that me and Jungkook should get married."

"So do you think that the stalker could be jealous of what you two have?" He asked. "Because to me it sounds like this guy is jealous as fuck."
"But do people really kill for love?" I questioned. "For jealousy?"
"All the time." He replied. "It's a lot more common in the city though."

Suddenly we heard a loud shout, and turned to look inside. Jungkook was yelling at Jimin.
"Shit!" Yoongi cursed, and the two of us rushed back inside.

"Hurt my feelings whilst you begged my girlfriend to have sex with you?" Jungkook yelled, looking furious. "When you told her that you were the one who could give her what she wants? She's not a whore you asshole!" He'd dropped the honourifics, which isn't something he normally does.

"Well that didn't go to plan.." Yoongi mumbled to himself.
"Hey, hey. What's up?" I asked him.
"And you!" He turned and started yelling at me in rage. "Why didn't you tell me that he went and begged you for sex? Huh!?" I stood there, shocked at his words, and he stood up.

What the fuck do I say?

"Or is it because you're covering for him? Were you really sick of having to baby me because of my injury so you went to look for sex elsewhere!?" Oh my god, is that what he thinks!?

"I didn't-" My voice was quiet, and I struggled to squeeze out a sentence. Come on! Why can't I say anything!?

"I think we should take a break." Jungkook sighed, looking into my eyes, but he seemed slightly shocked when he saw the tears brimming in my eyes, so he looked away. "Too much shit has happened." And with that he stormed off. I could physically feel my heart snapping in two.
"Holy shit..." Yoongi cursed under his breath, surprised at the Maknae.
"Minseo, are you okay?" Jimin's walked over to me, Yoongi trailing behind, but I just stared at the door.

He... he just left..?

"Minseo?" The two boys now stood in front of me, Jimin waving his hand in front of my face. "Let's take you home." They apologised to the staff and the customers, and we left, trudging back to my house.
"He.." I mumbled, unable to say anything. Tears silently fell down my face as I tried to swallow the lump in my throat.

We arrived at my house, the boys coming inside with me.
"Will you be okay here by yourself?" Jimin asked, and I nodded.
"Okay then," Yoongi sighed. "We'll get going, stay safe."
"What about Jungkook's stuff?" Jimin's asked Yoongi.
"I'll see if I can speak some sense into the kid, and he can come and get it later if he still thinks he's not being an asshole." Yoongi replied, shrugging.

"See you later Minseo." Jimin's smiled comfortingly.
"Bye." I smiled weakly, trying my best to hold in my tears, but as soon as they left, I ran to my bedroom and cried my heart out into my pillow.

I couldn't help it. Jungkook was my first love. My only love. I know he said that we were having a break, and it wasn't an official breakup, but it still hurt to hear him accuse me of having sex with someone else.

Yet, I couldn't say anything else..

Was it because I didn't want to hurt Jimin's feelings? Or because I was scared I'd mention the stalker??

I'd actually forgotten about the stalker... He hasn't been very... active... these past few days; almost like he's been busy.

Wait, hold on...

When I went to the shop, the stalker gave the cashier the ring to give to me, then moments later Jimin shows up asking to hang out.

He told me to stay where the CCTV cameras can see me, when that's the only way the stalker can see me.

He told me to imagine loving someone so much, being willing to do anything for them, when they don't even love you back.

And then Yoongi said the stalker sounded jealous of what me and Jungkook had, and that he could be killing people because he loves me and is jealous of everyone else.

Maybe he could've done this purposely to make Jungkook hate me... and then he'd be the perfect rebound... since he's 'willing to do anything' for me...

Could Park Jimin be the stalker?

- Jeon Jungkook's POV -

I felt the pain in my heart as I went back to the dorm. I opened the door and stormed through the flat, making my way to my room.
"Oh hey Jungkookie~" Hobi waved at me, but I didn't reply.
"Jungkook?" Namjoon stood up and wandered over to my room, which I'd already stomped into - not forgetting to slam the door behind me.

He knocked on my door, but I didn't answer.
"Jungkook? You okay?" Namjoon asked again from the other side of the room, but came in since I was ignoring him. "What's wrong?" He asked, sitting on the end of my bed after closing the door behind him. I took a deep breath, and looked him in the eye.

"Minseo," I sighed. "And Jimin."
"What about them?" He pursued, but I just looked at him with a knowing face, and he looked shocked. "Are you sure?"
"It's only a hunch.." I mumbled. "But all the evidence fits together..." I then explained to him what I'd heard.

"Well, this isn't the kind of thing that can be sorted out by you sitting in your bedroom overthinking it." He told me. "You need to talk to her about it."

"But-" I stuttered, fighting back tears. I'm not going to cry. "I did, and she didn't say anything, and neither did he." I took another breath. "So I told her we should have a break."
"Mmm, maybe a break is what you need." He thought. "Because of everything that's happening, all the stress the both of you are under, it'll be really hard to keep up a healthy relationship."

Namjoon looked at me and gave me a reassuring smile.
"It all just sounds like a misunderstanding to me. Hopefully if you two just spend a little time without each other then you'll both realise what you mean to each other." He told me. "Because Minseo's not the type of person who'd cheat on someone she loves, and Jimin's definitely not the kind of person to do that to his best friend."
"Yeah," I sighed. Looking out of my small window.

"OI! CUNT!" I heard the opening of a door and a mad Min Yoongi. "Where the fuck are you!?"
"Is that for you?" Namjoon gestured towards the area where the noise came from, and I nodded in reply, standing up. The two of us walked out of my room, and faced Yoongi and Jimin who were stood by the door. Taehyung and Hoseok were sat on the sofa and Jin was in the kitchen, but he'd stopped momentarily to watch the drama play out in the living room.

"What?" I asked, looking away.
"Do you know how fucking upset she is!?" Yoongi yelled. "When you left we had to take her home! Her face was soaked with her own fucking tears!"
"Why didn't she say anything when I asked then?" I retorted, getting all defensive.
"Because we were in he middle of a fucking cafe!" Yoongi yelled angrily. "She was so shocked at your ridiculous accusation she couldn't say anything! And she didn't do for the rest of the time we were with her!"

I didn't reply. I couldn't. What can I say to that? He's right. But Jimin... I know what I heard.

"Jimin." I looked him in the eye seriously. "Is it true that you like Minseo?" He was silent for a while, but eventually nodded. Everyone in the form looked awkward, but I felt my fist clench.
"And did you ask her to have sex with you?" I asked again, but Namjoon nudged me.
"Hey!" He whispered. "Enough. Not here."

Everyone then walked off, but I needed some air. I walked out the dorm, shoving Jimin - whose head was facing down the whole time - with my shoulder as I did so, making my way down to the park. Sitting on the closest bench, I began to think about everything.

She can't have cheated, she's told me that she's never loved anyone except me, and she's not the type to betray a friend, never mind a lover..

But why does all the evidence fit so perfectly into place?

She's awkward around me, won't hug me, kiss me, nothing. Yet Jimin kissed her outside my house and she seemed fine with it. He told her that he could give her everything she wants, and criticised me for not giving her sex when I was injured. Fuck, I even heard what he said to Minseo ages ago when they were 'looking for Jimin's coat', about how he loves her.

Is almost like he planned for me and Minseo to break up, so he could move in and be her rebound...

Wait, hold on....

I need my laptop. Now.
