Their relationship seemed to get better after their intimate night a week ago.
With a long heart to heart talk after dinner, telling each other how they feel and what they could do to make things better, from cuddles to making out, they ended up panting and moaning over their passionate, love sex the whole night long.
Jimin would go to Yoongi's apartment almost every day after his schedules ended, spending the night with his lover and going to work early morning the next day.
But things started to change again today, involving the first mistake that Jimin unintentionally made after having one of their best weeks together as lovers.
It was now 11 pm and Yoongi was calling Jimin's phone since 6 pm, but he hadn't yet picked up the call.
Starting to get worried and anxious with Jimin's whereabouts, Yoongi decided to call Jin, wanting to ask him whether Jimin was still working, or at least with him or not.
It took him only a few rings before Jin answered the call, greeting him with a happy voice.
"Yoongi, it's been awhile since you called me! How are you?" Jin cheerfully asked, almost sounded tipsy.
"I'm fine, hyung. I'm sorry for not contacting you for awhile but let's catch up later. How about lunch or dinner?" Yoongi offered, almost embarrassed at how he was only contacting his hyung now to ask for Jimin.
"S'fine... S'okay... We'll eat and talk... I just miss youuuu..." Jin replied, before he started to talk to someone who was talking to him.
"I'm sorry Yoongi. Someone was trying to hit on me. But you know.. I love Joonie so much that I haven't even gotten laid since the day he left me," Jin whined, before he giggled, telling Yoongi that he's fine even though deep down he feels like Namjoon is planning to make him kill himself because the guy acts indifferent now.
"Hyung, why don't you just.. explain things to Joon?" Yoongi replied, trying his best to soothe Jin's distress, even though he was dying to ask the elder about Jimin.
Wait,
Jin hyung is drinking...
He rarely drinks alone unless...
"Hyung, where are you? Where's Jimin?" Yoongi nervously asked, trying to push all his bad thoughts away.
He didn't like it.
Yoongi hates it when he starts to overthink and becomes paranoid about Jimin.
He detests it everytime when he starts to have bad thoughts and think negatively.
He realized that he often ends up like that nowadays and it's not healthy.
Yoongi was having unclear thoughts when suddenly he heard a gasp coming out from Jin.
"Jin hyung-?"
"Uhmm.. Yoongi, I... I will call back later. B-bye!" Jin quickly replied before he ended the phone call.
Yoongi was so confused, thinking to call Jin back when suddenly he got a phone call from Namjoon.
"Hyung... Uhmm.. Hello hyung," the guy greeted, sounding slightly nervous.
"Hi Namjoon. What's up?" Yoongi asked, starting to walk towards the fridge.
"Uhmm.. Where are you know, hyung? It sounds.. quiet?"
"What do you mean it sounds quiet? Of course it's quiet. I'm at home alone, wondering why Jimin isn't home yet. Well, probably gonna watch some movie while waiting for him," Yoongi frowned but decided to shrug it away, taking a chilled can of beer and a tupperware filled with slices of watermelon.
Yoongi then heard Namjoon quietly muttering, constantly cursing at something before the guy came back on the phone.
"Hyung, I'm coming over. Don't go anywhere and just.. just watch the movie, yeah? I'll be there in ten minutes if the road is clear tonight," Namjoon quickly informed before he abruptly ended the call.
"Okay..." Yoongi mumbled, bringing his beer and fruit to sit in front his flat screen.
He was about to open his email after fifteen minutes of waiting before he heard his door bell.
"Hyung!" Namjoon frantically greeted, pushing himself into Yoongi's apartment before he pulled Yoongi's hand towards the couch.
"Wait, let me close the door first, Joon!" Yoongi responded, pulling his hand away so that he could close the door.
"So, why are you looking so panicked right now? Did Jin-"
Yoongi was about to tease Namjoon but stopped the moment he realized Namjoon started to tense when he heard his ex-husband's name.
"Is... is this about Jin hyung?" the elder carefully asked, already thinking to make a hot chocolate for Namjoon.
Namjoon just shook his head, shoving his hand into his back pocket to take out his cellphone.
"Did.. did Jimin tell you where he is now, hyung?" Namjoon slowly asked, furrowing his eyebrows while eyeing the still confused Yoongi.
"N-no? Why?" Yoongi asked, offering the watermelon to Namjoon, which the younger declined, before he shoved one bite sized piece of fruit into his mouth.
"Hyung.. I don't know whether you should see this or not but.. I think it's better if you see it now, rather than later," Namjoon suggested, very hesitant at what he was doing right now.
"W-what? What are you trying to show me Joon-ah? Don't scare me like this-" Yoongi was smiling and giggling at first, but then stopped the moment his eyes landed on the tabloid flashing on Namjoon's phone screen.
BREAKING NEWS
SUPERSTAR PARK JIMIN AND POLITICIAN KIM'S SON ARE MAKING OUT IN PUBLIC.
Yoongi could feel how he suddenly stopped breathing. His eyes glued on a few pictures of Jimin and Taehyung, making out while other people are recording and taking pictures of them.
They looked like they were at a party, in someone's place based on the interior.
With shaky hands and burning eyes, Yoongi then started to look at other tabloids and entertainment news that were posting the same 'breaking' news. Some even posted a three minute video of them madly kissing each other.
The video starts with Jimin and Taehyung dancing together; Jimin looks drunk based on how he dances and giggles at Taehyung who was talking while smiling and laughing with him.
Then a few seconds later, Taehyung carefully snakes his arms around Jimin's waist, pulling him closer and starts to suck his lips before he shoves his tongue into Jimin's mouth.
Jimin however, doesn't move or push the guy away. Instead, he wraps his arms around Taehyung's neck before he pulls him closer, starting to suck Taehyung's tongue and kissing him back.
And Yoongi could feel how his heart again was broken for an uncountable amount of times in less than a month.
Slowly, he passed the phone back to Namjoon, fumbling with his shaky fingers while glaring at the floor.
He didn't want to blink his eyes, refusing to allow the build up of tears, that were threatening to come, to slide down his face.
"Hyung..."
"W-where was it?" Yoongi asked with a bland voice, sounding emotionless and cold.
"Taehyung's house," that was all Namjoon could reply, frowning his face in anger and disappointment while looking down at his intertwined fingers.
He bounced his legs, anticipating for another question from Yoongi. He'd prepared himself for this kind of situation the moment he saw the article 45 minutes ago.
"Why?-"
"It's Taehyung's birthday! They are celebrating his birthday tonight. It's a birthday party!" Namjoon answered, interrupting Yoongi's question with his 'too fast to his own liking' answer.
Yoongi responded with a soft 'oh', nodding his head comprehensively.
"Y-you don't.. Jimin didn't tell you about the birthday party?" the younger carefully asked, voice almost inaudible.
"He didn't," Yoongi bitterly chuckled, shrugging his shoulders just to act as if it didn't bother him even the slightest, which obviously was a lie.
"Guess it's not that important, huh? Or probably.. I'm not that important," Yoongi added, forcing himself to laugh out loud, ignoring the stream of tears that started to wet his pale cheeks.
"Hyung, I..."
"You've warned me before, Namjoon. You've warned me. I should already have prepared myself to face this kind of bullshit!" Yoongi butted in, plastering a forced and painful smile on his very sad face.
"No, I saw how Jimin has looked at you for the past five months-"
"Which can't be compared to how he has really felt all along about Taehyung, Joonie," Yoongi opposed with sorrow and despair.
He pushed himself to stand up, weakly moving towards the refrigerator before he took out a dozen cans of beer, still in their box from the fridge.
"Hyung, this... this is so not you. You don't get drunk even when you are stressed, hyung. Probably we shouldn't drink. I... I don't feel comfortable seeing you act like this," the younger strictly objecting to the idea of Yoongi wanting to get drunk, simply because Yoongi never drinks to forget. The elder never has allowed himself to get drunk, even if the whole world is hating or against him.
Pushing Namjoon's hands away as the younger was trying to take the beer cans from Yoongi, he then crashed his body on the sofa while still hugging the beer box.
"Joonie, and it is so not me to deeply and madly fall in love with a guy like Park Jimin," Yoongi replied with a hushed tone, making Namjoon stand still on his spot, unable to reply with any solid answer.
-----MiniMini-----
"Hyung, how... wait, has Yoongi hyung contacted my phone or.. or yours yet? Do.. do you think he already saw the tabloids?" Jimin panicky asked, frantically putting his clothes on after he went for a very fast shower.
He felt like crying.
Hell, he already is crying right now.
He's doomed.
He is so doomed.
He ruined everything.
Yoongi put his trust in him, after Jimin promised him that all he did with Taehyung was just help the latter to cope with his depression, and helped him to avoid doing all the dark thoughts he had in mind.
But now...
Now Jimin thinks that everything started to become so tangled and messy because of his stupid actions.
Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!
You are such a shithead, Jimin!
You fucked up everything!
"Hyung, I didn't get any.. any texts or missed calls from Yoon- Did you get any yet?!!" the superstar asked with a trembling voice, holding his phone with his shaky hands.
Jin just stood there, zipping his mouth shut. He then glanced at the naked Taehyung on the bed, biting his bottom lip before he looked back at Jimin who was now a crying mess.
"Jimin..."
"You... Y-you didn't lie, r-right? I.. We didn't fuck each other, right hyung? I.. I don't feel sore and there's no hickeys anywhere because I know there would be lots of hickeys if it's Tae- Fuck hyung! Just answer me, please!" Jimin quickly cut in, eyes trembling while looking at Taehyung who was still deep asleep.
"I managed to come here before anything happened, but Tae still stripped his clothes off. He was about to strip yours too but I'm so sure you wouldn't want that so I kinda..." Jin scratched his head, trying to form an appropriate way how to tell Jimin.
"I kinda knocked his head with... something so that he completely passed out" Jin twisted his face in discomfort, fingers still scratching his head.
And Jimin's eyes widened in horror. He gaped towards Taehyung who was still sound asleep before he looked back at Jin.
"He... There's no blood involved, right?"
"God NO, Jimin! Do you think I'm that stupid?! He's politician Kim's only son for God sake!" Jin almost, almost raises his voice. If only they were at Jimin's house now, probably he would have already threw some things at the stupid superstar.
Jimin was still glaring at Jin, silently demanding his manager to tell him what object he used to hit Taehyung's head.
Rolling his eyes in irritation, Jin loudly sighed, just to make sure Jimin heard him.
"I used that book, you moron! I used that book!" Jin half hissed, half yelled, pointing at the thick, heavy book that was on the floor.
Jimin could feel his jaw drop, feeling shocked at how that huge ass thing must have hurt Taehyung's head alot.
"What the hell, hyung!" that was all the superstar could say before he paced towards the still sleeping Taehyung to check on his head.
Jimin gently cupped Taehyung's cheeks with his hands, tilting it carefully from side to side to make sure there were no bumps on his forehead or head.
Letting out a breath, he glared at Jin who was now twisting his face in annoyance after Jimin gave a light kiss to Taehyung's cheek.
"I don't like this, Jimin. I... I have kept quiet for awhile because I love you and Taehyung, just because you guys were there with me when I was having my depression and mental breakdown years ago. But.. but this is.. Jimin, you have to choose," Jin sighed, massaging his throbbing head with both hands.
"W-what do you mean-"
"This is not fair for Yoongi, Jimin. You.. you are supposed to make him your priority, and at the same time you have to deal with this!"
"Hyung, I don't like it when you say that about Tae!" Jimin hissed, glaring daggers at Jin who was already glaring at him.
"I was being a jerk back then during my birthday party because I wanted to protect you. I ended up hurting not only Yoongi, but also Joon, Hoseok, Jungkook and myself. I tell you what Jimin, you do what you think you should do BUT!" Jin stopped, taking a deep, long breath just to avoid himself from exploding in anger.
"But... whatever happens next, it's all on you. I won't even be upset if what you are doing now backfires on you. Don't you dare come to me and say that I never warned you!," the elder raised his voice, but then he stopped for the second time, realising where they were right now.
Jin then glared his eyes at Jimin for the last time before he dashed out from the room.
Jimin just silently watched his most trusted hyung walk away, sliding his body against the wall to sit down to digest and to think through what Jin just told him a minute ago.
I'm not cheating on Yoongi.
I..
I just want to help Taehyung,
that's all.
After all, Taehyung was with me when I was having those hard years, Jin hyung.
He needs me now and that's what I should do, right?
I should be there for Tae as his bestfriend.
"Jiminie... Kiss me.. I love youuuuu," Taehyung's voice suddenly boomed from the bed, making Jimin slightly jump from his spot.
He then softly smiled at Taehyung who was still sleeping while cuddling the pillow. He was drooling with his mouth slightly opened, but Jimin still thought that Taehyung looked cute like that.
Y-yeah,
Taehyung is only my bestfriend.
Yoongi should know that I only love him.
Only Yoongi.
He quickly fished out his phone from his pocket, intending to call Yoongi so that they could meet before his flight this evening.
Jimin silently hoped that Yoongi could even join him to go to the airport to spend some time together before he went for his few weeks long world tour.
It felt like forever, waiting for Yoongi to pick up his phone call.
And after a few rings later, someone picked up the call.
"Yoongi-"
"What the fuck do you want, Jimin?" Namjoon growled, sounding very pissed.
"Namjoon hyung.. hyung.. can I.. can I talk with Yoongi hyung? I-"
"What do you want to talk about? There's nothing you can explain right now. You hurt Yoongi hyung alot. He saw the video of you guys making out last night at the party. I warned him even before he started to be closer to you, that letting his guard down will only end up with him hurting himself because of you!"
"Hyung, no. Last night, other than kissing, nothing else happened. I.. I swear, hyung! I swear! P-please, I.. I need to talk to Yoongi now. Or.. should I go to his place?" Jimin begged, sounding very desperate.
I can't go without explaining things to Yoongi..
N-no.
Not when.. not when I'm gonna be gone for a while.
I.. I can't lose Yoongi.
I don't want to lose him!
"Namjoon h-hyung, please. I beg you," Jimin pleaded again, starting to choke on his own tears.
He could feel his chest hyperventilating, being too scared that he would lose Yoongi now.
Yoongi, the love of his life.
"Yoongi.. Yoongi hyung can't talk right now. Not now," Namjoon replied, glancing at Yoongi who was still sleeping.
The guy looked haggard.
He doesn't even look like the Yoongi hyung he has known his whole life.
There were dried tears staining the used to be smooth white cheeks, swollen eyes and he looked completely broken.
Yoongi frowned and his lips were trembling even in his sleep.
And it's been so long since Yoongi has been broken like this, if ever.
The last time he was close in this state, it took one whole year for him to be completely fine again.
"Hyung, I need to talk to him before my flight today. Can.. Is it possible if I meet him in 1 hour?" Jimin tried, wiping his tears with the back of his hand but he only ended up getting more fresh tears coming out from his swollen eyes.
"We.. we have to go somewhere else soon. We don't have an hour. We have meetings in another province, Jimin," Namjoon lied. He felt that this is what was best for Yoongi now, being away from Jimin just to clear his mind and heal his heart.
"Hyung.."
"I'm sorry, Jimin. Probably later when you are done with your concert tour, you can try calling Yoongi hyung again."
And with that, Namjoon ended the call, completely ignoring Jimin's tearful pleas.
-End of Chapter 58-
Anyway, what would you do if you were in Yoongi's, Jimin's or Taehyung's place?
