Jungkook took out his phone and dialled a phone number. After a few rings the other person picked up the call.
"Hello."
"Jimin hyung. I need to talk to you."
"Sure Kookie. Come to my studio." Jimin said.
"You are alone? I mean you are free right?" Jungkook asked.
"Yes Kook I'm free, at least for a couple of hours. Afterwards I've a meeting but you come." Jimin replied.
"Okay hyung I'm coming." Jungkook said.
"I'm waiting." saying this Jimin disconnected the call.
Jungkook sent a quick text to Taehyung about him leaving and then he left to meet Jimin.

Jimin was doing some work when someone knocked on his door. He instantly knew that it was Jungkook. He stood up from his seat and let Jungkook in.
They settled in and, "So what's up?" Jimin started.
"I still love him." Jungkook said bluntly.
"Kookie.." Jimin took a pause and then added "I know."
"Why am I not the one he wants hyung? Tell me." He said looking at Jimin.
"I don't have any words to say to you."
"Why hyung? You've been here all this time. Give me my answer, please?" Jungkook asked him rather calmly?
"I asked Sumi. How they met. She told me everything." Jungkook added.
"Oh, she did?" Jimin said.
"Why is she not like one of those bitchy girls? Why is she so sweet? I can't even hate her hyung." he wined looking at his lap.
"She is actually a really good human being. No one can hate her." Jimin said slowly.
"But hyung I can't see them together. It hurts me. I want to move out. They're not letting me.
Please Help me." Jungkook said.
"You really wanna move out?" Jimin asked him.
Jungkook nodded his head vigorously.
"Okay, I'll help you find a decent place and then we'll talk to both of them, to let you go."
"Thank you hyung." Jungkook smiled at him.
After talking about some random topics and showing each other some random pictures, Jimin called him, "Kookie.."
"Yes hyung." Jungkook said.
"Please don't take Tae away from her." Jimin said softly.
"What do you mean hyung?"
"Did she tell you when and why they started living together?" he asked and Jungkook nodded his head saying No.
"Sumi doesn't have any family left. She lost her mom when she was born and her dad left about a year and half ago.
She was her dad's little princess so his death took a toll on her. She was devastated, heartbroken. She started having scary nightmares. And something like panick attacks. It was difficult for her to believe that her dad is not with her anymore.
Once Tae accompanied her to her therapist's appointment and her therapist asked him to not let her live alone so that's how they started living together." Jimin said.
"Did Taehyung hyung ask her to live together?" Jungkook asked.
"Yes, he did." Jimin replied.
"Oh, okay." Jungkook said.
"So please don't take him away from her. Tae is the only one she has. I know that I'm coming out as a really bad hyung to you for saying this, I'm so sorry Kookie." Jimin said with moist eyes.
"I'm not gonna do that hyung. But I really love him. It's not easy for me." Jungkook looked away from Jimin.
"I understand that."
"Anyways hyung I'll go now. I've some work. And please remember that you've to help me with moving out." Jungkook said getting up from his seat.
"Yes Kookie, I will." Jimin said that, they hugged and then Jungkook left.

After Jungkook left, Jimin got busy with his work but within half an hour someone again knocked on his door.
When he opened the door he saw Sumi standing there looking down playing with her fingers.
"Sumi you're here, come in." he said.
She slowly made her way towards the couch and sat down still busy staring at her hand.
"What happened Sumi? Why are you so silent?" Jimin asked her, worriedly.
She slowly looked up at him, they made eye contact and that's when he noticed her eyes, they were puffy and blood shot red as if she was crying.
"Sumi why were you crying? What happened? Did Tae do something? Please tell me I'll teach him a lesson." Jimin said to her.
"Jungkook is in love with Taehyung." she whispered, almost inaudible. If Jimin wasn't sitting close to her, he wouldn't have been able to hear her.
"Jimin Oppa tell me honestly? Jungkook is in love with Taehyung right?" She asked him.
"Who told you that Sumi?" he asked her back.
"I'm not dumb Oppa. I know the way he looks at Tae. I saw it in his eyes. When Jungkook told me that he can't be with the person he's in love with, he said that his love is with someone else and that person is a girl. He panicked so hard as if he was hiding something from me. I know. Answer me Oppa it's Tae, right?" she said and tears pooled into her small eyes.
"I-- okay.. yes it's him." Jimin finally said.
She gasped when she realised something. Something which would change her life upside down. "Wait a minute. The guy because of whom Tae was rejecting me, it was Jungkook?"
Jimin looked at her with wide eyes, when her eyes started flowing again.
"Oh My God. They love each other." she said looking at Jimin.
"No Sumi, Jungkook loves Tae but Tae loves you." Jimin tried to reassure her.
"No.. he doesn't..." she said while stuttering. "He doesn't love me. He loves Jungkook. Yes. Jungkook is his true love. Not me." she said.
She covered her face with her hands and started sobbing badly. Jimin stood up from his seat and sat beside her while pulling her into his arms and rubbing her back slowly.
"Sumi, shh. Don't cry. Please. You'll fall sick if you cry this much." he said slowly.
"I snatched Kookie's love. I came in between them." she said.
"No you didn't do any of that. Stop saying these things." Jimin said sternly.
"My Tae.. is not.. mine. Oppa, he's not." she looked up at him.
Her vulnerable condition broke Jimin's heart. He can't do anything. Three of his closest friends are stuck in a love triangle and two of them are hurting so much. He can't do anything to help his friends. If Jungkook and Taehyung are like his brothers then Sumi is also like his little sister. Whenever she has any problem it's either him or Hobi, she always comes to.
"Sumi he's yours only. Taehyung loves you a lot." he said.
"But he loves Jungkook more than he loves me. I know it. I always ignored it because I didn't even knew who his first love was but now that I know that it's Jungkook. I can't unsee it." she said.
"Sumi, please don't overthink." he said while wiping her tears, when a fresh set of tears made their way through her eyes.
"Oppa I can't live without him." he cried more.
"You don't have to live without him, Sumi." Jimin said while patting her back.
"But what about Jungkook? What will he do?" She asked him.
"I don't know Sumi." Jimin replied back, honestly. "You should talk to Tae about all this."
"I can't talk to him in this matter. What if he decides to leave me.. what will I do then?" she looked at him innocently, while tears were constantly flowing from her eyes.
"He won't leave you Sumi." Jimin said.
"We don't know that Oppa. Now that.. his.. true love is back.. He might leave me.." she stuttered.
"Sumi please don't overthink. He won't leave you."
"But he will not be happy with me now that Jungkook is back. Tae would want to be with him." she said, tears were constantly flowing from her eyes like a river.
"No he won't. Stop imagining things." he said and pulled her back in his arms while slowly patting her head.
"But I don't want Kookie to be sad." she mumbled against his chest.
"How can you be so selfless Sumi? Stop thinking about others for once and just think about yourself." he said.
"I can't. He's my friend." she whispered.
"Be a bit selfish, Kiddo." he said.
They stayed like that for a few minutes and then Jimin said, "Sumi?"
He slowly looked down at her and saw her eyes closed. "Sumi." he again said. She didn't respond. So he shook her. But still no response.
"Sumi? Get up." he whisper-shouted.
She gave no response so he panicked and called Hobi who was in the same building.
After few minutes Hobi and him, they both tried to wake her but when she didn't wake up Jimin called Taehyung.
"Hello Chim. What's up?" Tae spoke after picking up the call.
"Tae.. Sumi. She's.. she's.." Jimin stuttered.
"Sumi? What happened to her?" Taehyung panicked.
"She fell unconscious. I don't know what to do." he said.
"Unconscious? Where? When? Tell me I'm coming." Taehyung replied.
"No Tae I don't think we should waste time. Please tell me about her doctor's hospital. We'll take her there and you too come there." Jimin said.
"Take her to Seoul City Hospital. I'm coming." Taehyung spoke and they disconnected the call.
