"Ah, where to begin?" she nervously fiddled around with her fingers.
--I'll be right back. I gotta take a leak," Yoongi said. On his way towards the bathroom, which was the last door of your hall, Yoongi heard a muffled conversation going on, that put a stop in his tracks. 'Is this kid talking to himself?' Yoongi put his ear to the wooden door, and opened up his ears.--
"Um, this is pretty hard for me to say." Minji was as red as a tomato.
--'Is that Minji in there? I thought she wasn't feeling well. The heck is she doing in Jungkook and Jimin's room?'--
"Whatever it is, you can tell me. Though, I am a bit surprised you came to me instead of Jiyeong."
--What the heck is he doing?" Hoseok, who was walking back to the couch with two bowls of chips, saw Yoongi with his ear up against the door. "Here," he gave the bowls to the rest of the couch. "Don't eat it all in one sitting." With that warning, Hoseok made his way down the hall to where Yoongi was. "Hyung, what are you--" Hoseok stopped mid-sentence Yoongi pressed his finger against his lips. He then pointed to the door, signaling him to listen.
As soon as he did, he heard this:
"Jungkook," Minji breathed in and out with a tremble, "I like you."
--At the moment, Yoongi and Hoseok looked at each other in full disbelief. Both of them had unhinged jaw as they glanced back over to the door.
"Where did Hoseok-ah go?" Namjoon questioned. When he looked back, he found both of them as they were. Just then, he saw Hoseok pull out his phone out. And a few seconds later, he received a text message.
"Get your butts over here now! Leave Jimin behind!"
Namjoon looked up from the text and back at Hoseok, who had a pair of wide eyes on his face. He then looked over to Jin and Taehyung, tapping and informing them separately, for them to follow him discreetly.
While Jin got up calmly, Taehyung sighed and rolled his eyes before putting you aside and getting up.
"Where're you guys going?" you asked.
"They want me to follow--oof!" Taehyung got a slap across his chest from Namjoon, reminding him to be discreet about where they were going. "Namjoon hyung needs help with something," he rubbed his chest.
"The heck?" Jimin looked up at them. "We're about to start a game here." But none of them responded. "Don't try and join our game later," he said, shuffling the cards. "We'll just play by ourselves, Jiyeong."
While the incoming 3 made their way down, the other 2 made space for them so that they could press their faces to the door; and boy were they in for a shocker.--
Jungkook chuckled, "I like you, too."
"No," she shook her head. "Not in the way that you think. 'Like', as in, I have feelings for you..."
--As soon as those words fell from her mouth, multiple jaws began to drop. It didn't take them long to figure out that it was Minji in there, either.--
The smile from Jungkook's face slowly started to descend. His eyes blinked a couple of times, trying to register if he had heard right. "Like--Like romantic feelings?"
She took a slight glimpse up at him before looking back down to her fingers." Yeah..."
"For me?!" He became utterly speechless when he saw Minji nod. 'Oh no.'
--"Are they still not back yet?" Jimin took to his feet, only to immediately spot them all clustered at his door. "What the heck are they doing?" You turned around and raised a brow as well. They were looking as ridiculous as ever. "Yah," he got up from his seat and walked to them. "Is this more fun than a card game?"
Their heads sprung up and around like a couple of meerkats. Hoseok was the first to shake his head, trying not to worry him. No answer? Of course, they were up to something sneaky at this point. Something that they didn't want him to know about.
"You really expect me to believe it's nothing?"
Everyone kept silent, but when Jimin started advancing, with you slowly following behind, they got into another panic. 'Jiminie, stop!' Taehyung panicked through his thoughts, with a stretched palm out towards him. But it's not like that was going to stop him. Only when he ran and jumped in front of him with spread arms, did Jimin come to a brief halt.
"Go back to the living room. We'll be back out soon."
"Taehyung, move." Smiles were long gone, and a serious look took over Jimin's face. "What are doing in front of our door? Are you trying to hear if Jungkook's watching porn or something?"
"Jiminie, haven't you ever heard that curiosity killed the cat?" 'In this case the cat's heart.'
After pushing him out of the way, Jimin walked over and placed his ear to the door. When he did, he recognized the voice of Minji and Jungkook right away. 'What're those two doing in there alone? More importantly, didn't Minji say she wasn't feeling well? Why did she lie?' Again, that uneasy feeling returning to him, but it was even heavier with the others around.--
"Wait, are you sure that it's me you like?"
"You trying to tell me I'm confused about my own feelings?"
--After a couple of running cracks through his heart, Jimin's aching organ immediately shattered into millions of pieces. But those pieces felt heavy. Heavier than before when they were whole. After all this time, his suspicions had come true. The girl's heart who he had chased after so courageously, was already stolen by someone else. That someone, being Jeon jungkook.--
"S--Since when have you felt like this?"
She took a hand to her arm, "I'm not really sure myself." Blush slowly crept up on her ears and neck. "Maybe it was around that time when we were trying to crack the case on who started that rumor about Jiyeong..."
"Wait, Minji-ah, you know that I'm in love with--"
"I haven't forgotten about your feelings for her," her lips then became pursed. "I just wish that you didn't, and it was me you had feelings for instead."
--After it's immediate shatter, the fragments of Jimin's heart began to plummet fast and hard within the depths of sadness. When the boys looked to him, they saw all the expression slowly drain from his face.
"'Who's 'her', though?" Taehyung whispered super low, yet only got silence. Since that was the case, he figured that all of them were in the same boat as him. But little did he know, the boys were secretly exchanging looks among each other.
"What's going on?" You looked to the others. "Is Minji and Jungkookie in there?" you pointed, hoping that someone would answer.
"Don't worry," Namjoon turned to you to reassure, "you'll be filled in soon.--
"If I'm being honest with myself, on that night we spent together, I was really glad that--"
"Wait a second," he stopped her. "We spent the night together?" his brows furrowed. "Just the two of us? Alone?" The poor male was confused and needed answers. "When was this?"
Minji nodded while stroking at her arm. "We did, on the night of the party. I found you sitting outside on the steps, drunk off your ass, then you wouldn't stop blabbering on about your problems. I knew you weren't going to be able to go back inside, so I haled us a cab so I could drop you home."
The way she told the events of the night, it started to jog Jungkook's memory, but In a bad way. He was beginning to feel a tad bit sickly in the stomach, hoping what he remembered telling the guys, wasn't what she was trying to tell him.
"When we got to your house, I was going to just leave you and go back to the party, but when I tried to walk you inside, we accidentally tripped and fell. Then when I tried to get up and leave, you kissed me..."
--'He kissed her?!'--
Jungkook braced a hand over his face as he sighed greatly. 'This isn't good. I really kissed Minji? Jimin hyung is going to be so--' "Why didn't you say anything to me before?" No, that wasn't the right question. "Why didn't you stop me?"
"Lower your voice, will you!" She lowered her gaze. "I tried to stop you, but right after the kiss, you started touching me and then I--I ended up losing myself. One thing led to another and before I knew it...we were..." Minji bit her lip as a feverish feeling returned to her ears and cheeks.
"So," he swallowed hard, "you and me, we..." Jungkook's stomach got heavier than it ever did at her nod and hearing her hum.
--Just as everyone else, Jimin couldn't believe his own ears. Was he honestly hearing right? Did he really just learn that the girl who held his heart, and his own dongsaeng had slept together? A feeling of numbness overcame him in that moment, but tears were pricking his eyes and threatening to fall out onto his soft cheeks.
"Jungkook slept with Minji?!" Taehyung exclaimed in a semi-loud whisper.
Your eyes were widened in an instant, "say what?"
Yoongi reached over and smacked Taehyung across the head. "Shh, before they find out that we're out here, idiot."
Rubbing his head, he mentally scoffed. 'And this kid thinks I've got a problem. Meanwhile, he's busy banging his best friend's crush.'--
Jungkook took to his feet to pace. "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, this can't be right." He couldn't believe it. He couldn't accept it. How in the world could he? 'I really slept with Minji?' The sickly feeling grew on. 'I'm dead. If Jiminie hyung hears about this, he's going to kill me.'
"Even though it was under that kind of circumstance, I'm still glad that you were my first."
"Stop! Don't say things like that!" he barked. His frustrations reached new heights. "Aish, what's wrong with you, Minji? This isn't like you."
Her brows creased. "There's nothing wrong with me! I just like you! More than I thought I had...You could even say that I've fallen for you," she mumbled the last part.
Jungkook's hands were becoming sweaty and it really felt as if the room was spinning. 'This can't be happening right now. I must be dreaming right now. I have to be.'
"If you think about it, we're just alike. We're both chasing after someone with these one-sided feelings, and we both wish for the person we love to love us instead of the other person." Jungkook stayed silent and just stared on at her. "But it doesn't have to be like that anymore. It's clear to all of us who she wants, so I don't think it would be a bad idea if we were to give us a try."
--The more Minji continued to talk, the quicker those tears fell. These unbelievable words of hers just smashed his heart into tinier shards; shards that he didn't think could ever be recovered.--
"'Us'? Minji, there can never be an 'us'." A frown formed on her mouth. "I'd not only be doing you, but myself wrong if I accepted to date you. But more than anyone..." When Jimin crossed Jungkook's mind again, all he felt was pain for him.
"So what do you plan on doing? Chase after her, even though you know she's taken?"
"I am," he boldly stated.
--'What a little home wrecker,' Taehyung thought in disgust. 'He's really chasing after people's girlfriends?'--
Minji's hands unconsciously balled up into a tight fist. "...Why?"
"Whether she knows it or not, he's no good for her. She's stubborn, but that doesn't mean that I can give up. I've been there since the beginning, and only I can give her the love she needs."
--You stood there with a pout on your lips and crossed limbs over your chest. "I wanna know what's going on, too..."--
Jungkook could tell by the frown on her face that she didn't like this. "Well," Minji seemed extremely hesitant in the next words she was about to spill, "what would you do if I were to tell you, that I was pregnant?"
--What did she say?" Yoongi pressed his ear harder against the door to get a better listen.--
"Minji if this is a lie to make me make me turn around and start having feelings for you, then this is just sick."
"I'm not lying!" She protested. "I'm pregnant, and I have proof!"
--Eyes were going back and forth between each other to check if everyone had just heard what had just been said.
"Is this a drama?! " Hoseok looked everyone over.
But in the midst of their shock, the one person's expression who they hadn't checked for, was Jimin. When their eyes wandered to him, they his hands covering his face; most likely to keep them all from seeing his painful tears. But underneath those hands, besides the tears, was a look of pure distraught.
Heat rose up from the pit of his chest. It was a fusion of anger, betrayal, and total heartbreak; and the inescapable feeling only increased the more he listened. Though, it was becoming harder to so with every second that passed.--
Jungkook started to sweat as she dug around in her pockets, to finally pull out a pregnancy test. "Why...Just why do you have that?"
"I had to check for myself, of course." Minji pulled the test from her sweater's pocket. "And look," she shoved it in his face, "it's positive, see! I've missed my period and I've even thrown up before as well."
-- Jimin was feeling the rush of emotions, full force. "That little piece of shit..." His mutter had pulled heads his way once again. This time when they saw him, they saw a full expression of rage on his face.
"Jiminie...." When Taehyung tried to reach out to him, he snatched his arms away.
"Keep away from me," his voice stern in his warning. No words could express how enraged Park Jimin had become.--
"Oh shit..." Was all Jungkook could afford to say. At this point in time, Jungkook felt like he was going to keel over from shock. "I need to sit down, again." He backed up, trying to feel around the bed. Once he found it, his legs gave out immediately. What was he to tell everyone else? He could only imagine how upset you were going to be when you found out. And Jimin? He didn't even want to think about what Jimin was going to say, much less do to him if he found this out. "I'm so screwed."
"Hey, you're not alone in this." Minji went over to him. "We can tell rest together if that's what you want."
"No!" he immediately protested. "We're not going to tell them anything!"
--"It's too damn late, we already know," Jin said.--
The way he snapped at her put a crease back in her brow. "How long do you think you can keep this secret up, then?"
"Until we get you to the doctor to check. This--This is too unreal."
Feelings of frustrations piled on more and more the more Jungkook carried on. "How'd you think I was feeling knowing that this was happening to me? What am I supposed to tell my family? I'm not ready to have a kid, yet."
"Don't you mean when you were making up all these assumptions? This might sound harsh, but I don't believe for a damned second that you're actually pregnant. And with my kid?" Jungkook's hung his head heavy and low. Just the sentence alone killed him.
"How could you--" Unlike the first arrow that had shot Minji in the heart, this one was brand new. It was one that was strictly erased every trace of love she had for him. Tears started to form in her sockets. This wasn't the same sweet and caring Jungkook that she fell for. "Whether you like it or not, I know this child belongs to you, so man the fuck up already!" Minji turned on her heal and marched towards the door.
"I'm never getting drunk again," he muttered. 'Wait, this also means that I'm the "J" that Minji liked. But why does Kyunghee know something like that?' Being that his brain was at full capacity, Jungkook tossed the idea of trying to figure out the reasons why.
Hearing nearing footsteps, the gang all scrambled to get back to the living room without making it sound like there was a stampede in the hallway. All had left the hallway, even you who was swept up in Taehyung's arms, except for Park Jimin.
"This idiot!" Yoongi cursed Jimin underneath his breath.
"Jim--" Taehyung went to call for Jimin, but had his mouth sealed off by Namjoon's hand.
When the door opened right on up, Minji took a step out, her heart dropped a couple of levels. Right away she found the upperclassmen standing there, leaned up against the wall.
"How--How long were you--"
He crossed his arms. "Long enough to hear everything." That said, Jimin looked over and made eye contact with his anxious dongsaeng.
"Hyung!" Jungkook shot right up like a soldier at first sunrise. "What're you doing out there?" he broke out into a fierce cold sweat all over again.
"Excuse me," Minji wiped the tears from her eyes as she walked right on past him and into her room.
"Jimin hyung, you didn't hear any of that, did you?"
"I did," he answered immediately.
It was completely set in. Jungkook's stomach felt like a concoction made up with nothing but terror, anxiety, and nausea. "Hyung, I'm so sorry. I didn't know."
"You...You're nothing to me anymore. Consider yourself dead to me," he nodded, making his words firm. Along with the remaining shards of his shattered heart, Jimin turned on his heal and left the sickening scene.
