"If I went and hurt my body, baby. Would you love me the same?"

Jimin followed as the lively girls exited the car out of breath from screaming their lungs out just a second ago. They were of course greeted by confused faces.

Mingi was the first to laugh," Took you long enough! I was debating on eating Taemin already."

"Wait what-," The older looked quickly at Mingi with wide eyes and a face of betrayal. He then suddenly felt a hand lay on his shoulder and saw Hongjoon shaking his head slowly.

"It's best if you don't question it. Now let get in and eat please," The boy gave an empathetic smile then quickly switched to a large grin as he shoved his friends through the doorway.

Jimin followed the group's trail but was stopped as he felt a loose grip around his wrist.  Following the hand upwards to the holder he was met with soft brown eyes piercing back at him. He never wanted to avoid Yugyeom, but he was ashamed of himself for fearing him. The boy never has done anything to hurt Jimin, in reality, he probably saved him. Despite all this seeing, Yugyeom meant reality was catching up to him, it meant that sooner or later he would discover the truth. It was a lot sooner than he imagines.

"Hey, min.." His voice was quiet and held obvious worry. At this point, they were the only ones still outside, while the rest of the group was inside at a table he presumed.

"I'm sorry Yugyeom for putting you in this situation and-" Jimin spoke quickly and frantically, but was interrupted by a warm smile.

"No, no, it's okay! Look min, I usually would not have intervened or cared If Jungkook  was cheating on someone because it wouldn't be the first time." Yugyeom seemed to ramble a bit, but slowed down at the end and noticed the drop in Jimins expression. " But then I met you. I realized it isn't fair for you or any of the people we have hurt in the past to have their kindness taken advantage of. I'm going, to be honest with you right now." Taking a second looking around and letting out a quiet sigh he continued, "That night he left with a girl upstairs, she was from the YG sorority. He came to the party with Joy and I figured he would come back down the stairs in a  minute or two. Then he didn't."

Jimin slowly felt his world crash as he heard Yugyeoms words. Jungkook never told him he went with Joy, as much as Jimin didn't want to hate it, he did. She was the girl he compared himself to, the one who fueled his envy, and originally had what he didn't.

"Then I went up to check on him and.. I'm sorry min." Yugyeom said softly.

Jimin shut his eyes tightly and curled his hands into a fist as he tried to fight ever urge to cry right now. He gave a small nod and suddenly felt arms wrapped around him. They weren't close, but he did appreciate the gesture. It felt nice to have someone there when everything seems to disappear.

"I can give you a ride back to your dorm and tell the others you felt sick or something?" The taller asked.

"No it's okay," Jimin spoke out in a soft voice and took a deep breath. "I'll be okay, not let's go I'm hungry," He chuckled out softly and dragged Yugyeom into the restaurant where they met their friends all sitting at a large booth table.

They weren't greeted with questions, but only shouting and fighting between the group.

"Mark I swear to god you better give me my fries back or i'll beat your ass!" Taemin shouted across the table.

"Mark give the boy his damn fries!" Momo groaned as she sipped her own drink.

Yeji was instigating as usual as she laughed and shouted "fight,fight,fight," along with Mingi.

Sitting beside Somi Jimin only laughed and enjoyed the moments. Yugyeom joined in fighting Mark for the fries and eventually Taemin just ordered a new batch.

Jungkook woke up late after his nap. The sun was already halfway down and the streets were loud as people left school or work. With dizzy vision Jungkook rolled over on his couch and stretched to reach his phone. The glowing screen read 7:12pm. He practically drank and slept the whole day. Underneath the clock also showed the single notification he had.

Jimin messaged him, he completely forgot about their lunch. He was much more thankful that the other had other plans.

So what now? Jungkook could only think of so many options to spend his day really. He either can get more wasted at a party or get his life together this second.

The other option sounded more appealing. He didn't reply to Jimin's message rather he decided to call Joy.

"Hey... yeah I was wondering if anyone was hosting something tonight...'okay cool I'll meet you there," With a rough voice and exhaustion Jungkook hung up.

He simply stood in the cold shower as an attempt to regain some consciousness and relax. His limbs felt numb and a throbbing pain in his head most likely from the alcohol.

Wearing a simple white lose t-shirt covered by a leather jacket and tight fitting black jeans. He held his car keys in one hand and phone in the other since he didn't trust himself to take anything more. His night had no destination.

It was exactly 8pm when Jungkook headed to the door and texted Joy he would meet here at the party. He was heading to the door ready get absolutely fucking wasted tonight, but froze in his tracks when he heard a harsh knock on his front door.

"Who the fuck.." He groaned out in annoyance before he continued on and swung the door open. Not even taking a second to glance he greeted the person with with a harsh tone.

"What the fuck-"

"We need to talk," A small figure cut him off in retaliation and shoved his shoulder before continuing past the door.

"Jimin.." His previously harsh voice was now soft and quiet. It was almost like he was imagining the others presence, but instead of a dream it was a nightmare.
