Taehyung was terrified. He knew it. He got feeling that Jimin would say it someday. He noticed the fear on Jimin's eyes when the latter told him the so called story which was only happened yesterday. But not this early. Taehyung wasn't ready for this. He would never be. Hearing it from Jimin was unbelievable, he never been so brave to say such thing like this. Surely, Taehyung felt the uncertainty in those words, how Jimin's voice was barely be caught, how Jimin's shaky eyes tried to meet his; all was clear for Taehyung. And Jimin bit his bottom lip, meant he honestly didn't want to do whatever he had said. Taehyung caught it. But he couldn't do anything. Jimin would still be contemplating on his decision, either it was good or bad for all of them. Not only for Taehyung and himself, Jungkook was also counted because literally he was the one who made the relationship went down.

Jungkook.

Who expected this kid to be totally opposite to everyone's thought? Even Jimin didn't have heart to say no to anything he said. Taehyung understood that Jimin loved his cousin more than anyone, if it was possible more than him. But the love should have a limit. Taehyung did love Jungkook, but not in romantic way, the younger was like his own little brother. While his love for Jimin was indescribable. He felt the urge of protecting the other, no matter how. 

But now Jimin made it hard for him to maintain the relationship. 

"No.." Taehyung shook his head abruptly. "No, Jimin, no! Why should we?"

Jimin sighed, closing his eyes. He had no reason for this. Taehyung might be screaming to him if he said it was for Jungkook's sake. He actually didn't have other choice. He didn't want to lose any of them.

"I don't know, Tae.." Jimin whispered. "It's not like I want to do this.."

"Then don't.." 

Taehyung cupped Jimin's cheeks and stared into his orbs. Jimin almost broke into tears and Taehyung knew it. He was worried now that Jimin might be stressed out of this. 

"Say, Jiminie," Taehyung inhaled deeply. "Do you love me?"

Jimin would say yes but he was surprised. Taehyung was so unsure, it was the first time he was being like this. Usually Taehyung would be so confident and bluffing about anything but now it was so different. 

"Tae, why.." Jimin gulped. "Is it.. Is it really you?"

Taehyung shook his head again. He acted like this everytime he felt scared of losing anything, or anyone. But Jimin wasn't just anyone for him. It was his Jimin. He wanted to, he had to keep Jimin by his side. Call him possessive, but he did mention it to Jimin and he really meant it.

"I don't want to lose you.."

Those words caught Jimin off guard. He never seen Taehyung this desperate, even almost cried when he said it. 

"Didn't I say we can go through this together? Forever?" Taehyung breathed. "I believe we can.. Please, Jiminie?"

Jimin inhaled deeply. He couldn't take it anymore. He had to choose. Now all depended on him. Slowly he removed Taehyung's hands off his cheeks without breaking eye contact. Taehyung looked shocked and disappointed, but he tried to stay calm. 

"I'm sorry, Tae.."

With that, he tiptoed and leaned in to kiss Taehyung's lips. 

"Again?" 

Jungkook waved his hand lazily at the voice and just walked to the nearest couch. He didn't really want to talk now, not when he just had been rejected by Taehyung. He still felt a pang on his chest because of the accident earlier. Not that he didn't realize it, he was aware that Tae
