real love - vmin

chapter ten

Jimin has been pacing the floor for over an hour now, muttering quietly to himself, words that Jungkook can't make out as he watches his best friend pull his hair out.

Two hours ago, Jungkook had gotten a call from Jimin, who sounded frantic, causing him to rush to Jimin's home. He found him in his bedroom, pacing. One hand tugging on his hair and clothes while the other clutches a piece of paper.

"Jimin! Hey!" Jungkook steps in front of the other and grabs his shoulders to stop him. "Can you tell me what the fuck is going on?"

Jimin looks into Jungkook's eyes, his gaze dark with grief. "He ran away. He fucking ran off and it's all my fault."

Jungkook's hands slide off Jimin's shoulders and fall down to his sides, allowing Jimin to start pacing again. "What do you mean he ran away?"

"I mean he ran away!" Jimin pushes the piece of paper at Jungkook's chest. "I said the wrong thing and he packed his bags and left. He stole my car!"

Jungkook reads the note and carefully places on the nightstand next to him. "What the hell did you say to him?"

Jimin stops in his tracks and wraps his arms around himself. "He asked me if I loved him..."

"Okay, and?"

"And I practically laughed in his face! I thought telling him I didn't love him would be the right thing to do but I lied! I lied Jungkook." He turns to the younger, tears in his eyes. "I'm so fucking in love with Taehyung and now I ruined everything."

Jungkook breathes deeply through his nose and pulls out his phone while pushing Jimin to sit down on his bed. The older leans his head in and buries his face in Jungkook's stomach as the man above him gently runs his fingers through his hair. The dials someone's number and waits a few seconds before they finally pick up.

"Hello?"

"Namjoon. Are you with Jin right now?"

As if on cue, a moan echos through the speaker, causing Jungkook to roll his eyes. Namjoon chuckles, obviously out of breath.

"Yeah, I am. Why?"

"Taehyung ran away. He took Jimin's car."

There's a pause on the other end, followed by a whine and Jin saying, "why'd you stop, baby?"

Namjoon repeats what Jungkook told him and Jungkook has to old his phone away from his ear as Jin yells. Jimin looks up with a grimace, not wanting to be chewed out by the one and only seokjin.

"Hello? Jungkook? Is Jimin with you? Put me on speaker!"

Jungkook doesn't waste time and immediately follows Jin's order. "Alright, go ahead."

"Jimin, what the hell happened?"

He looks up at Jungkook with pleading eyes, he doesn't want to say it again, it hurts too much.

With a sigh, Jungkook lifts his hand and pinches the bridge of his nose. "Basically, Taehyung asked if Jimin was in love with him and Jimin thought the right thing was to say no but instead the was the wrong thing and it caused Taehyung to leave."

Jin is silent for a few moments, and Jimin is worried that he is on his way to do something horrible to him. Jimin wouldn't oppose, he knows he messed up.

"He hasn't tried contacting me... I'll call Yoongi and see if he's heard anything. You said he took Jimin's car?"

"Yeah, one of the maids saw Taehyung leave in it," Jimin recalls when he was storming around the house, demanding someone tell him something. One of thr maids came up, hands shaking as she recounts what she saw. "That was about three hours ago."
