Jimin's POV

5:00 PM

"Seokjin hyung, did you see Jungkook?" I asked him, he was seated on the couch, eyes glued on his phone. He looked up at me and shook his head, no. I pouted and gave him a small nod. Jungkook left me earlier and I don't have an idea where he is.

I walked outside the rest house, a smile spread across my face when I saw him, walking alone on the seashore. I walked towards him, silently tailing him behind. I giggle and cover my mouth using my hands. He's too occupied in his own world to even notice my presence.

He stopped and faces the sea again, like what he did earlier. I just stared and observe him, even he if he doesn't say it I know he's sad right now. He sat down there, eyes fixed on the sea. There's a long distance between us, I'm standing silently behind his back.

"He is longing for someone, Jimin."

"And that someone is?"

"His friend."

Jungkook lowered down his head and even if I can't see his face, I know he's crying right now. I want to walk closer, I want to give him a tight hug. I can't stand seeing him like this.

I thought at first he doesn't care about anyone's feelings, that he's a cold hearted person, that he was selfish . . . I didn't know he's suffering and hurting too. I'm so stupid for thinking that way in the past.

Jungkook always act as if he's okay, that everything was okay, but deep down inside he was clearly hurting and as much as I want to help, I can't. Because he doesn't want to open up with me, he doesn't want to voice out what he really feel. I don't want to force him to tell me everything because I have no right.

He lost his friend and it's still hurting him and it wasn't like it's easy to forget someone. He's part of Jungkook's life, he played an important role in his life and I understand how it really affects Jungkook.

I want to cheer him up, I want to make him happy but I know he doesn't want anyone near him right now. The only thing I could do now is give him time alone. He needs time alone.

I turned on my heels, glancing one last time at him before I left.

Dinner

"Hyung, where is Jungkook?" I asked him and he gave me a small smile.

"Don't mind him, Jimin. If he wants to be alone, just let him." I nodded and mumbled a soft, okay.

To keep myself busy, I helped Seokjin and Hoseok to prepare the table because it's already dinner time and I can't help but to feel the tension between them.

Oh right, I noticed it too last time. It was the time when we all went to Seokjin's party in his apartment. They don't acknowledge each other's presence as if they don't know each other. I think they fought.

We are all outside right now. Seokjin said that it's better to just eat outside because we need a bigger space. I looked around, I wonder where he is. I hope he's okay.

"Jimin, Noona will feed you." They all laughed when she said that. I rolled my eyes and ignored her.

"Jimin baby, please, say ah." I glanced at Hobi and motioned him to help but he looks away. Oh right, I forgot to mention, he's not only avoiding Seokjin but he is avoiding me too.

"Say ah." Seulgi tried again. I clenched my fist.

"Just do it to make her stop." Hoseok said firmly. I sighed heavily and slowly opened my mouth and forced myself to swallow.

"Good boy!"

I felt something wrong... I took a glass of water... did she...

I felt my chest tightened, my breathing changes too... I can't breath properly.

"Jimin, what's wrong?" Seokjin asked worriedly. I glared at Seulgi.

"What's wrong Jimin, it's just a shrimp. I didn't poison you." I fucking knew it. Damnit she's really a bitch.

"Shit! Where is your medicine?" Hobi asked, panicking. I didn't answer him, I don't think I brought some. Then I felt someone ran inside the rest house.

"Oh no, I didn't know, I'm so sorry Jimin." I clenched my fist and tried to just ignore her presence.

"Oh, please stop pretending." Hobi spat, tone angry.

"Lay! Faster!" Chen shouts, all their eyes on me, they all looked worried— except for Seulgi.

"Here! Take it, Jimin."

*_*_

I excused myself and went inside instead. I can't stand being with Seulgi. She went all the way here just to ruin my vacation with Jungkook. She's pretty desperate.

I slowly looked at Jungkook's room again. I think I really need to go inside because I'm really curious about that room.

I looked around to scan the room when I noticed there's no one except for me. I placed my hand on the doorknob and twisted it, I was surprised at first, did Jungkook forgot to lock the door again? I brush it off and opened the door slowly checking if Jungkook is inside. When I noticed he wasn't inside, I walked in and softly close the door behind me and I press the switch to turn the lights on.

I looked around and I watched in awe. There's a pictures placed on the wall. It was taken in different places with the same person. I slowly walked closer to look carefully at the pictures. The photos were taken nicely. I can't describe how beautiful the pictures are.

The man in the picture is so beautiful too. He's absolutely breathtaking. I can't believe my own eyes. He's perfect.

All of the pictures were stolen shots, as if he doesn't have an idea someone's taking his pictures.

There's one picture and it was taken here in Jeju. He's just standing and looking at different direction, probably he's looking at the sea, small smile playing on his lips, I remember Jungkook doing the same thing earlier.

I shifted my gaze and his other picture caught my attention. The picture was taken inside the ferris wheel. He's looking outside the window, he looks so cute and innocent. He's very natural in front of the camera.

I think Jungkook was the one who took the picture and I think he's the friend that Hobi and Seokjin were talking about.

Now I understand why Seokjin said, this room is very important to him, it's because all of their memories together are here. This room reminds him of his friend, reminds him of their moments together and the reason why he love this place was because of his friend. It's all about his friend. I glances at the table that was beside his bed.


There's a picture frame on the table, In the picture frame, they are together and both of them are smiling to each other, eyes filled with pure happiness. I never saw Jungkook smiling like this before, he's very happy in this picture. My heart clenches at the sight. I really feel sorry for Jungkook

I suddenly heard a noise that was coming from the door, I looked around and saw an empty cabinet, I carefully walked towards the cabinet and hide myself inside.

I noticed he walked inside and I heard he locked the door. I peek from the cabinet and saw him seated at the edge of the bed. He slowly look up at the pictures and I felt my heart break into pieces when I saw him smiling faintly. I can see the sadness through his eyes and it's hurting me.

Then he lowered down his head and grabbed his bag, pulling out a..

Camera.

He turned it on and he smiled softly but soon faded. . .

'Ah, Ggukie stop.' His tears started to fall when the video started to play.

'Stop filming me!'


'Why? I like filming you, please say hi.' Jungkook said cutely.


'Ggukie stop or else I will punch you.' I could hear Jungkook's laugh.

'Really?'

'Of course not, You know I can't do that.'

'Good, now look at my camera and say hi.' He said.



'Hi! It's me again!'

"There's someone I treasure the most and you share the same thoughts."


"Who? I mean, you don't need to-"


"Someone that can't be replace by anyone."

I suddenly remember our conversation. Now everything make sense, he's talking about his friend— I didn't even realized I was already crying. I wiped off my tears and I glances back at Jungkook. He's now lying down on the bed and not too long, I heard him snoring softly.

I slowly walked out from the cabinet and move closer to him, I sat down at the edge of the bed. I looked at him and carefully wiped off his tears away using my thumb.


'I may not replace him in your heart, I promise I'll make you happy as long as I can.'




With a heavy heart, I stood up and turned on my heels, I want to take care of him right now but I know I can't, because I'm not allowed here inside. He doesn't need to know that I went here and witness everything.

"Don't leave..." He whispered and I frozen on my spot, I slowly looked back at him.












"Don't leave me, Taehyung."
