A Beautiful Lie || Jikook

**Jimin's POV**

The walk to the car was quiet, as well as half of the car ride. Why did the feeling change? We were laughing together 10 minutes ago... "Jungkook, did I say something?" He keeps looking straight ahead, ignoring me. "Cause you seem... off..." I continue, hoping he'll answer. He doesn't.

"Bye." The car stops in front of the restaurant and I open the door to get out. One word was all he gave before he drives off, leaving me in the dust.

"Oh. Ok." What's his problem? Running to the bathroom, I see Jin looking at herself in the mirror. I don't stop to look as I need to change quick but when I come out, I see a full view.

"J-Jimin!" She bursts out in tears, holding me tight. "I-I-" She keeps crying into my shoulder and I let her, knowing that if I ask her any questions now, all that will come out is gibberish. "H-He he..." She cries out in pain, breaking my heart in the process. I will kill whoever did this to her...

"Baby, I know that you're hurt but... please tell me what happened. That's the only way I can help." My voice cracks as the tears collected on my eyelids threaten to fall. As soon as I said baby, she looked up, uncomfortable. Her grip on my shirt loosens as she pulls away.

"I-I went to see Mr. Wang but..." Her voice trails off as she looks to the side, visually expressing her mental disorientation. "H-he was busy with someone..." She looks down, afraid to continue. "He has a boyfriend Jimin. I'm so stupid." The tears fall again and her hands raise in an attempt to catch them midair and shield her face from the harsh lighting.

As she sobs, I was only thinking of one thing. Crush that little asshole for hurting Jinnie. But I can't. It's not his fault that he has found someone to love and appreciate him for who he is and he just happens to be one of the most attractive teachers our school has. I only feel pity for her, watching fractions of tears escape between her fingers and hit the tiles below. Because I feel the same. "Jinnie... Sometimes... In life... aish how do I put this..." My hand finds it's way to the back of my head, scratching in frustration. "Jin, you are absolutely perfect, you know that? And one day, you will meet that person that sees your perfection and appreciates you for it. They treat you right and they love you even if they have little to offer. Do you... understand? What I'm saying is... he's blind if he chooses anyone else over you." An effort of a smile was put in to make her feel better but she didn't look the least bit affected by my comment.

She kept looking at me as if I was mad before she spoke. "You're giving me some generic bullshit you hear on tv or read online. I thought you were my friend." The words hit me as she stormed out but they didn't bother me as much as I thought they would. What am I talking about? I've always been there for her and I always will be but... this time is off. This time, I felt pity instead of  heartbroken. What's happening?

I missed half of my third period of the day, angering my new teacher and giving a bad first impression. I could not understand anything in that class anyways. Math just flies right over my head. Next was history, which I found my new friend Jennie in as well as the new hoes who bother me to finally give their lives meaning. Jin texted me in the last five minutes of class, apologizing and saying that Jungkook is taking us home. Perfect.

The reads for my chapters are so off. One says like 13, the next says 27 and the one after goes back down to 14? Are you guys reading all the chapters? I don't want you missing anything...

P.S. Sorry I haven't been updating... School sucks 😭😣😝

P.P.S. I kinda cut it a little short cause I'm tired and I tried to do this after doing tons of hw. Oh well.
