Taehyung was peacefully munching on his Mukbang, which he had brought with himself after coming from work, while watching TV. It was a rare moment of relaxation for him, indulging in his favorite food while enjoying his favorite show.

Suddenly, his phone buzzed, claiming his attention. He frowned as he saw the caller ID displaying ' My little birdie 🐣 '. Taehyung was surprised to receive a call from his best friend at this hour, but he quickly answered it.

“Hello?”

“T-tae...” Jimin's voice cracked and Taehyung immediately knew something was wrong.

As he heard Jimin's sob-filled voice, concern flooded over him, causing him to stand up from his spot, Mukbang forgotten.

“J-jimin! Jimin! What happened? Where are you?” he asked urgently, his voice filled with worry.

“I'm... I'm...” Jimin stuttered, the words caught in his throat as he broke down.

Taehyung's heart ached at the sound of Jimin's pain. Without wasting another second, he reassured him, “Jimin! Where are you? Tell me, I'm coming”

“I'm at... at the park,” Jimin managed to say through his sobs.

“Which park?” Taehyung pressed, trying to get a more specific location.

“D-don't know... there're just... t-trees everywhere...” Jimin's voice trembled.

“Don't worry, Jimin! Hang on there. I'm coming in a few minutes,” Taehyung promised, concern lacing his words as he hung up. He hastily grabbed his coat, car keys, and wallet before rushing out of the house.

He drove straight to the park near Jungkook's house, knowing that Jimin loved to visit there. As he parked the car and made his way into the park, his heartbeat quickened with each step, anticipation and worry mingling in his mind.

And then he spotted him. Jimin, sitting on a bench, shoulders shaking with sobs. Taehyung's heart sank, seeing his best friend in such a vulnerable state. He paced towards Jimin, his steps filled with urgency and determination. Kneeling down in front of Jimin, Taehyung gently took his cold hands in his own.

“Jimin! Baby! What happened? Tell me?” he pleaded, desperation lacing his voice.

Jimin remained silent, tears streaming down his face, unable to find the strength to voice his pain. And after seeing taehyung, he lost control, so started to sob more badly.

“I-I'm sorry, I'm sorry.. whatever it is.. I'm sorry” Taehyung pleadingly apologized to Jimin, for the mistake, he hasn't even made. For now, he just wanted Jimin to stop crying, as it ached his heart.

“J-jungkook... ”

“Yes, Jungkook! what did he do?” Taehyung asked, furiously, feeling his own anger simmering beneath the surface.

“J-jungkook... h-he c-cheated on m-me.. h-he said h-he doesn't l-love me anymore... ” Jimin's voice quivered as he confessed.

That asshole, Taehyung's anger flared, his fist clenching involuntarily. He vowed silently to teach Jungkook a lesson for causing his best friend such pain. But for now, all that mattered was Jimin. So, he gently helped Jimin up, guiding him towards his car.

As Taehyung drove, Jimin cried bitterly, refusing to eat or drink anything. But with patience and love, Taehyung managed to coax him into eating a little, ensuring that he was taken care of.

Finally, back at Taehyung's house, he settled Jimin onto his bed, making sure he was comfortable. The room was filled with a heavy silence as Taehyung made his way to the couch, sinking into it.

As he sat there, lost in his own thoughts, Taehyung couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions. Anger towards Jungkook, sadness for Jimin, and a deep sense of responsibility to protect the person he cared for the most.

Next day:

Taehyung quietly made his way out of his home, as Jimin was still sleeping. He locked the door from outside, and left a note for Jimin on the dining table that ’he will return in an hour’. In case, if Jimin would wake up so he won't panic, after couldn't spotting him.

He drove his car, lost in the thoughts of upcoming confrontation, he was going to make. As his face got red with rage. He stopped the car in front of a certain mansion and stepped out of it.

“HEY, JUNGKOOK!” he called out, as he knocked the door.

Within few minutes a maid showed up, asking him what he want, as he lied that he's here to fetch Jimin's luggage. The maid let him come into the house but she asked him to wait in the lounge, as she first had to inform Jungkook, and that is what Taehyung wanted.

“Oh, look who is here. Our little Jiminie's pathetic best friend!” Jungkook sarcastically remarked, as he leaned to the side of the lounge's door.

“Jungkook!” Taehyung said, gritting his teeth, as he stood from his spot.

“Yes baby! What do you want, my autograph?” Jungkook smirked, as he made his way inside and faced Taehyung.

“Why did you do that to Jimin?” Taehyung asked, his nostrils flared in anger.

“Oh, come on. What kind of stupid question you're asking? Why do people cheat huh?! Because they find a hotter person, it's obvious!” Jungkook said, shamelessly.

“Couldn't you think about Jimin first, before doing this? Couldn't you think once, that what will happened to him after knowing this??” Taehyung confronted him.

“Oh, come on. He is just dramatic. I know, he would've probably run to you like a puppy and complaint about me, wouldn't he?... He's just a stupid bag of trash. There are hundreds of like him,” Jungkook finished with a sinister laugh. Taehyung clenched his fist, controlling himself from throwing his fist on him.

“You've lost your mind, Jungkook! And it seems like, that your heart has become of stone too. You broke a innocent person's heart. Just wait and watch, Karma will hit you soon. Shame on you!” Taehyung insulted.

“Excuse me, who do you think, you're to insult me huh?! You're just a regular manager, don't forget that. I can even make you lose your job. And besides this, you love Jimin, don't you? Then you should be happy. Go and claim his body. Because that is only what you want. I bet, he won't even hold back, because of the stupid act of heart brea-”

“ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, JUNGKOOK?! YOU ARE CROSSING THE LIMIT NOW. I WON'T HESITATE TO BREAK YOUR NECK, IF YOU AGAIN DARE TO SAY A WORD ABOUT JIMIN,” Taehyung grabbed his collar and threatened.

“SECURITY, TAKE HIM OUT!” Jungkook yelled as in few minutes guards came running into the lounge and dragged Taehyung out of the house, leaving Jungkook huffing.

Time skip:

Taehyung returned home to find Jimin awake, but he seemed off. His usually cheerful and energetic friend appeared distant and lost in thought. A wave of pain hit Taehyung as he realized that what this heartbreak did to his best friend.

With steady steps, he approached him and said, “Oh, Jimin! you woke up. Tell me, what do you want to eat? I'll make breakfast for yo-”

“I already ate,” Jimin responded quitely as he walked back into the bedroom. Taehyung followed him there. He spot him sitting on bed while looking down and approached him, asking if he is okay.

“Yeah! What will happen to me?” Jimin responded, his voice lacking its usual spark.

Taehyung furrowed his brows, unsure of what Jimin meant. “No, about last night... you-”

“Taehyung, please! I don't want to even think about it,” Jimin cut him off, refusing to discuss the events that had transpired.
Silence filled the room until Taehyung's phone rang, interrupting the atmosphere.

“Who is it?” Jimin inquired as Taehyung cut the call and pocketed his phone.

“It's Sehun,”

“Then why don't you answer it?” Jimin asked.

“Ahn.. because, he'll gonna ask about.. you. Actually, I forgot to tell you that, he called yesterday, saying he wants you for another campaign. He even mentioned the possibility of you becoming Dior's permanent brand ambassador,” Taehyung claimed.

“Me?” Jimin's eyes widened in surprise. Taehyung nodded enthusiastically.

“Yes, but don't worry, I can tell him that you're not feeling well and can't make i-”

Unexpectedly, Jimin cut him off mid-sentence. “Tell him that I'll come.”

Taehyung stared at Jimin in shock. “What? Are you sure?”

“Yes! I won't sit and isolate myself like any other person would. I'll work and show Jungkook that I'm not the least bit hurt by our breakup,” Jimin's determination shone through his eyes.

Taehyung took a moment to process Jimin's words. He realized that his friend was using this opportunity to prove his strength and resilience. Deep down, he admired Jimin's unwavering determination.

“Jimin-ah, if you're sure about this, then I'll support you,” he said, a proud smile appearing on his face. Jimin returned Taehyung's smile.

“Thank you, Taehyung. I need all the support I can get.”

The two friends shared a moment of understanding and camaraderie. With renewed confidence, Jimin began preparing himself for the upcoming campaign. He knew that this was not just an opportunity to prove his worth to Jungkook, but also a chance to show everyone that what is he capable of.

As they left the house together, Taehyung couldn't help but feel a surge of pride for his friend. Little did they know that their journey would be filled with challenges and obstacles.
