Can’t

Start or Finished

Jungkook groaned as he shifted in his bed. Remembering last night he sits up suddenly. He had no clothes on. On the ground was his clothes. ‘So it wasn’t a dream’ he thought. 

 

“Jimin,” he breathed out. Hurriedly, he grabs his clothes on the ground and put them on. He then hears some noises coming from the bathroom that connected to his room. 

 

Thinking it is Jimin he runs to the bathroom, now dress. “Jimin-“ it wasn’t Jimin. In front of him was Jin. Jin bowed down his head. 

 

“I’m sorry Jungkook!” Before Jungkook could say anything, Jin runs past him and out of the room. 

 

“Wait! Jin!” Jungkook chases after Seokjin, his mind running in all sorts of thoughts. 

 

He was now outside. “Jin!” He sighs and continues running. When he reach the gate he was met with an unexpected face. “Jimin?” Jimin was standing there with Yoongi. His hair was neatly brushed and covered his forehead. 

 

His head cocked in confusion. Jungkook steps back his heart clenching. He turns away ready to go inside but Jimin grabs his arm. “I’m sorry Jungkook,” Jimin says in a soft voice. 

 

Jungkook yanks his arm away.

Jungkook was now fresh as he had taken a shower and changed into new clothes. He changed the sheets and washed his clothes. All this while thinking of Seokjin. He ate silently remembering what happened with him and Jimin yesterday that made him drunk.

 

(Yesterday)

 

“Jungkook, isn’t this place nice,” Jimin says and pulls Jungkook to sit down beside him. 

 

“Yeah it is,” Jungkook agrees and kisses Jimin’s cheek. He stops when he sees a mark on his neck. “Jimin? Did you get bug bites over there?” 

 

“Bug bites? Of course not. Why?” Jimin answers totally clueless. 

 

“Nothing. I think Yoongi’s calling for you.” Jimin sighs and stands up to go to Yoongi who was ordering food.

 

Jimin smiles to Jungkook and he smiles back. Then he takes Jimin’s phone that he left behind and sprints to the bathroom. He goes into a stall. Hating himself for invading Jimin’s privacy but he has to be sure. It can’t be what he thinks it is. 

 

He goes to Jimin’s contact first. ‘Jungkook, Yoongi, .  .  .’ The list was pretty long considering Jimin was friendly. He was going to stop when a certain name popped up. ‘Friend.’

 

‘Whose friend?’ Jungkook couldn’t help but clicked on their text messages. 

 

Friend: Can you come to my house tonight?

 

Jimin: No

           I’m busy

 

Friend: With that Jungkook Guy

 

Jimin: Shut up

 

Friend: Just one night

                   Please

                   Or I’ll tell him how you sleep with me for who knows how many times

                   Or what we did in Hua Hin is fine too 

 

Jungkook brows furrows. His heart clenching. This dude seems more than jus a friend. He drops the phone on accident making it exit the text messages. He fights the tears away and picks it up. His thumb accidentally touches the photo album.

 

The most recent photo was of him and Jimin in Hua Hin. He clicks on the album. He scrolls to the top ignoring all of Jimin’s many selcas. The first picture was of Jimin sleeping. 

 

He clicks on it. The place looked unfamiliar. It wasn’t his place, Yoongi’s place, or Jimin’s place. 

 

He swipes to the next picture. It was the same place and Jimin just now there was also someone else. It was Taehyung in a bathrobe. He smiled to the camera, in the background was sleeping Jimin.

 

Jungkook swipes again. The next picture had Taehyung placing a kiss on the cheek of Jimin. 

 

Jungkook didn’t know what to do. He had mixed feelings. He was mad, angry, jealous. They also came with heartbreak, confusion, and disappointment. Jungkook grabbed his hair.

 

Groaning he pushes the stall door open and slams it shut. He looks at himself in the mirror. His hair was messy. His face was ugly to him though others may consider it extremely hot and y. He was mad.

 

His shirt was wrinkly and not in place. His veins popping out. For a moment he could imagine Jin trying to calm him down and comforting him. He remembered falling for Jimin. Liking-loving him. Does he still love him?

 

He couldn’t cry. He shouldn’t cry. He fakes a smile fixes his shirt and hair. At ease he walks out. 

 

He can see from far away Jimin searching for his phone. “Where did I put it? I swear I put it here.” Jimin busily looks for his phone not even noticing the figure behind him. 

 

“Jimin.” The voice made Jimin jump. He turns around to see Jungkook just standing there blankly. In his hand was Jimin’s phone. Jimin opens his mouth in realization. He should have put a passcode as soon as he got it. 

 

“Jungkook,” Jimin says nervously, cursing himself for saying it like so.

 

“Looking for this,” Jungkook raise his hand with the phone. 

 

“Yes-“ Jimin stops as he sees the screen. It was Taehyung kissing him while he was sleeping. Jimin clench his teeth and rolls his eyes. ‘That stupid idiot Taehyung.’

 

“He’s more than a friend is he,” Jungkook says in a calm tone.

 

“Yes, he is. What about it?” Jimin says back strong.

 

Jungkook takes in a deep moment of silence before grabbing Jimin’s wrist. Jimin gasp. Jungkook was never harsh on him. “You said you love me,” Jungkook says his calm tone breaking and replacing with a rather sad one. His eyes getting glossy. “I said I love you.”

 

They were earning some looks from people. “Jungkook! We’re in public. We’re celebrities! Remember!” Jimin looks around nervously. 

 

“So what!” Jungkook yells. “I care more of what’s going on in my personal life than my career and fame.” 

 

Jimin rolls his eyes. “But I care.” With that he yanks his hand away and glare at Jungkook. Without nothing more he walks away. 

 

Jungkook looks at the phone still in his hand. He was about to throw it on the ground but then he stopped. What good will it do. He puts it with the rest of Jimin’s stuff and leaves, going to the bar.

 

(Present)

 

Jungkook glares our the window. Luckily he still could rest today. Jimin and Yoongi came in that morning when he was chasing Jin. Jimin apologized so many times but Jungkook just told him to leave.

 

Soon they left. Now he was all alone. Then it dawned on him. He has to make sure Jin is okay. After what he did. He grabs his keys and runs out the door.

 

He thought of what to say to Jin. How to apologize. Before he knew it he reached his mom’s house. Then Jungkook remembered that his mom was in the picture too. 

 

 

Jungkook’s p.o.v

 

I slowly enter the house. It was very quiet which made me even more worried. “Um, Mom! I’m here!” Jungkook yelled out around the house. Maybe Jin and her went somewhere. I should just come back later. 

 

I walk out the door and bump into someone. “Mom,” I say trying to sound casual. I notice behind her was Jin who was looking at the ground as if trying to avoid my gaze. 

 

I turn my attention back to Mom. She didn’t look so happy. Kind of angry but she was calm. I give a quick glance at Jin. Now he was looking at me, yet I couldn’t tell what he was thinking.

 

“Jungkook,” my mom broke the silence. 

 

“Yes,” I squeak. It can’t be. Did Jin tell him?

 

“Why did Jin stay over at your place last night?” 

 

She knows. She knows what happened. “Mom, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean too. I was just-“

 

“Because you got too drunk. You made Jin stay the night because of your vomiting and your temperature,” she said angrily.

 

“Wait-“ Mom just stopped there and didn’t continue. She doesn’t know?

 

“I had to make Jin spill it out,” Mom grabs Jin. 

 

Jin didn’t tell the whole truth. “Sorry Mom. I don’t know what got over me,” I apologize. 

 

“You better not get drunk again. Hear me?” Mom scolds me. I nod my head. She shakes her head I can tell she’s already calming down. She does miss me. Jin returns to whatever he was doing outside. 

 

“I actually brought some souvenirs for you. Let me go get it from my car.” I give a smile to Mom and exit the room going outside.  

 

Making sure Mom didn’t see me I hurry to the direction Jin was. He was just sitting on a bench. “Jin.” He flinches and gets up. I walk over to him. He stares right back at me as I stare into him. “Sorry and thank you.”

 

He blinks for a bit then speaks. “You don’t need to thank me.” He walks around me. I grab his arm and pull him back. I place both of my hands on his arms and look at his facial features taking in every detail. 

 

He moves back. “I have to go,” he says blankly. I try to grab him again but decides to just let him go. I feel a tinge sad. Jimin. I don’t even know what to think of him anymore. Seokjin. I did something not good to him. 

 

I’m sorry Seokjin.

 

 

Third person’s p.o.v

 

Hoseok stare at Taehyung’s handsome defined face. ‘Wow, he really is a piece of art, he thinks as he watches the sleeping Taehyung. 

 

The two both slept in the living room. Taehyung soon stopped his tears and fell asleep. Hoseok found some blankets and pillows. Taehyung slept on the couch while Hoseok slept on the ground. 

 

Hoseok pokes Taehyung’s cheek that was a bed to his eyelashes resting peacefully. Taehyung’s eyelashes flutter a bit. He moves back. Tae blinks for a bit adjusting his eyes to the light. “Hoseok,” he groans in a deep voice. 

 

He replies quick, “Yes Taehyung.” Taehyung takes Hoseok by the arm and pulls him near. Hoseok’s breath hitch as he tries to act unaffected by what he just did. He was never this close to Taehyung. Not even on the beach at Hua Hin when he held him in his arms. 

 

Taehyung’s voice bring him out of the fantasy. “We’re going back on duty today,” he whispers deeply into Hoseok’s ear. 

 

“Duty? But-oh.” He now got what Taehyung meant. Why was he so dense these days? He usually was the smarter one and Taehyung was the less smarter one. Hoseok slides out of Taehyung’s grip.

 

“I’m sure Jungkook or Jimin has someone else who’s involve with this. I feel like one of them like someone else .  . kinda,” Tae says while sitting up.

 

“You’re another guy to Jimin,” Hoseok says stating the fact.

 

“Yeah, I am. Just another guy.” He chuckles a bitter chuckle. 

 

Hoseok glance at him with deep thought. He really had to stop liking Taehyung. It wasn’t suppose to go this way. It shouldn’t have gone like this. He has to get back in his business mode.

 

Business and personal life don’t go together.

 

———————————————————————————————————————

 

“It would be totally good for you two. Two lovebirds singing a song together. Great, isn’t it.”

 

Jungkook continues clicking his pen as Jimin taps his fingers on the table. The two wouldn’t even look at each other and when they happen to turn at each other’s way, they would just act like the other was invisible. 

 

It was their first fight. “Jungkook,” Kyungsoo says sharply. 

 

Jungkook sighs and spins his rolling chair towards Jimin looking at him for the first time that day. Jimin’s hair was neatly brushed to cover his forehead unlike how it used to be like, showing his forehead even if it was just a little bit.

 

“I’m fine with singing. It’s just that, is Jimin fine with singing,” Jungkook said. 

 

“I’m fine with it.” Jimin says towards the person who recommended it. 

 

“Oh good! The song will be in English though.” He hands the lyrics to Jungkook and Jimin. 

 

‘We Don’t Talk Anymore’ the titles read. Jungkook scoffed a bit because he and Jimin weren’t talking anymore at the moment.

 

“Learn the lyrics and listen to the song.” Jungkook and Jimin leaves with their managers. 

 

~~~~

 

When Jungkook arrived home Jin already did the cleaning and went back to his Mom’s house. Jungkook had a feeling Jin was avoiding him. 

 

He gobbles up some food quick and leaves again. He drove to his Mom’s house. 

 

As he parks his car he notices that his mom’s car was gone. The lights were on. “Jin.” He walked quietly into the house. He closes the door and goes upstairs where Jin was.

 

“Seokjin.” Jungkook knocked on his door. A moment later Jin opens the door. 

 

“What are you doing here? Your mom went out just a minute ago,” Jin says quietly only his head peeping out. He blinks innocently at Jungkook.

 

Jungkook opens the door wider and pulls Jin out. Jin yelps as Jungkook holds him. Jin looks down without fighting at all. “Jin-ah, why are you acting weird? Is it because of me? I’m sorry. Just become normal again. I need someone to talk to.” 

 

Jungkook looks into Jin’s eyes deeply. “What do you want to talk about?” Jin’s voice was casual and warm again, though still a bit wary. His eyes shone worrisome and something else that Jungkook couldn’t quite catch on to.

 

“Follow me.” Jungkook lets go of Jin and made his way down and outside. He liked the warm weather it was giving though it was getting late. Jin sat beside him. “Jimin. He and I got into a fight. I don’t want to apologize until I know I’m at fault. But it’s just so hard to get to him. I don’t want to let him go yet.” 

 

“It’s okay. You two will probably be fine. Couples have arguments.” Jin said. 

 

Jungkook nodded. He had hoped for a different answer, something like Jimin was the bad one. Maybe they would be fine. Maybe it’s just something that needs to happen in a relationship. He tries to imagine what Jimin was doing right now but it was interrupted with Jin’s face appearing.

 

Jungkook gulped and turn his head slightly to look at Jin. He looked like he was in deep thought. His lips pressed together and his eyes moved around. Jungkook never realized till now that Jin was .  . beautiful. 

 

It was a different type of beautiful in Jimin’s way or how any would thought it to be. He wasn’t even trying to do anything with his face. It was his usual expression. Jungkook stares at his whole body and especially those lips. 

 

He couldn’t help but wonder if he kissed those lips that night. Couldn’t help but wonder how it would be if he was conscious. 

 

When Jin turned to him he slowly came closer to Jin. He wondered how those lips would be like on his. This time he was conscious. This time it was his choice. 

 

Jin’s eyes were big but he didn’t move away. Instead his eyes travel to Jungkook’s which were nearing his. 

 

———————————————————————————————————————

 

Taehyung gasped and had to cover his mouth with his hand to not make any sounds. They were together. Jungkook, Jin. 

 

So there is another person in the story. He peeked again. Jungkook finally closed the distant between them and kissed Jin. His hand reach out to cup Jin’s cheek pulling him in deeper. 

 

Jin sat there his hands daring to touch, hold on to Jungkook but he looked unsure and afraid. Taehyung narrowed his eyes on Jin. 

 

It would explain a lot. How they acted towards each other. 

 

He wants to see more but he has to go somewhere before he’s late. Cursing time he looks back and runs to his car.  

 

He had to tell Hoseok. This was going to be interesting.
