Caught in a lie: Park Jimin x reader

Chapter 25

All I knew was I was falling down, and down... and I couldn't stop.

But I never hit the ground.

It was like I was falling in an abyss, with image of Baekhyun and Eunsoo playing on repeat in front of my eyes.

So I didn't realize when Jimin held me close... or when he started to lead me out.

I was pulled out of the daze when someone grabbed my arm from behind, jolting me to a stop.

With my other hand in Jimin's, I turned around to see it was Baekhyun.

Before it could register on me what was going on, I realized Jimin was on my side now, instead of behind me.

"Let her go," he said to Baekhyun.

But Baekhyun only looked at me and I at him.

"Minji, it isn't like it seems.. I mean... it's..," he trailed off. And looked away.

"Why?," was all I could muster.

He looked at me again.

"It was a moment of weakness, I guess."

"Why... are you explaining this to me?," I made my question clear, my voice so dead it even chilled me.

And with that, I tried to pry my hand away, only to have his grip grow tighter.

Jimin, who was already fidgeting beside me grabbed Baekhyun's wrist and said in a seething voice, "I said, let go of my wife while I ask nicely."

"Ah!!," I hissed in pain when Baekhyun gripped even harder.

"LET GO OF MY WIFE, YOU FUCKING CHEATER!," Jimin punched Baekhyun square in the face which resulted in him falling back and letting go of my hand.

A small scream of surprise left my lips.

Jimin turned to me and tenderly took my hand in his to inspect the wrist Baekhyun was crushing. His fingers were imprinted there.

"Does it still hurt?," he asked, softly rubbing my wrist.

I didn't know if he meant my wrist or my heart in general.

"Oh, so he's a cheater and you're what? Husband of the year?," Eunsoo said, walking up to us.

I looked at Jimin who clenched his teeth so hard I could see his masseteric muscle pop up. (Yes, I learnt that in school, lol)

The wrist he was gently rubbing started to hurt again and his grip got tighter in attempt to ball his fists.

When I squirmed in discomfort, he let go of me. "Oh, I'm sorry," he said, coming out of his haze. "Did I hurt you?"

Again, I didn't know if he meant now or in general.

We both looked at Eunsoo when she clapped her hands.

"And then you judge us," she bent down to help Baekhyun up, "for cheating on you when it was you who pushed us."

Then looked at me and scoffed. "Well at least hers wasn't her fault but come on, pick one already."

"First you took Jimin away from me, and now you're heartbroken over you ex hooking up with me? And it's me who is viewed as a bitch in this scenario. Funny."
