chapter 3

Jimin moved his gaze to the couple in the corner, Taehyung was typing away on his laptop, then their eyes met, Jimin stood still, a blank look on his face, his eyes tired and empty. He kept Jungkook’s gaze, he couldn’t pinpoint the emotions swiming in them, it was just a dark sorrowful gaze that almost reflected how Jimin felt, it sent a shiver down his spine. Jimin knew that the sorrow wasn’t felt by his ex, but he knew it was what he assumed Jimin was going through, kind of like a pity coated but a thin layer of guilt.

« Tae, let’s leave »

« huh but it’s hardly been 20 minutes, I’ve just started my assignment » Taehyung gave his boyfriend a confused look.

« Sorry babe, I just found out I forgot the books I needed, we can take the coffee and finish at your room »

« Okay »

The coffee shop was small; it was hard not to overhear a conversation when most of the people there were too busy with their own studies at this moment. When they got closer to where Jimin stood behind the counter, Jungkook turned to his boyfriend and gave him the key to his car.

« Can you go start the car while I pay for our coffee »

« Sure babe »

Once Taehyung was out of the door, Jungkook walked over to Jimin. The older didn’t wait for him to say anything and said; even though he was aware that prices were clear on the headboard.

« It’s 6690.34 won »

« O-okay » Jungkook handed him the money but remained still, not sure what to do or say. After a few minutes that felt like hours for both of them, Jungkook decided to break it :

« Jimi-«

« Taehyung seems like a lovely kid »

« O-oh um I guess.. » jungkook mumbled, guilt swirling in his stomach, the scene of earlier playing in his head over and over. He almost didn’t recognize the boy that was once a ball of sunshine filled with all the positivity in the world.

« Jimin-ah.. » Jimin knew that tone very much and he couldn’t handle it, it was like hearing the younger’s voice coated with that fucking tone of pity physically hurt his ears and made his stomach churn.

« Don’t Jungkook. Just don’t. »

« I’m So-.. »

« Don’t you say that word. What are you sorry for? You chose this »

« I J-just..I really feel so-.. »

« No please Jungkook, Don’t say you’re sorry for not loving me back. You’re not sorry, Just stop. Please leave »

« Jiminie.. »

« Leave, or I’ll call Namjoon-Hyung »

Jungkook bowed his head down, He didn’t know what to do, how to feel, what to feel everything was just all over the place, he walked away in a mix of emotions of guilt and sadness, and rush of memories and regrets.

Jimin let out a breath and collapsed to the ground, breath shaky with new tears filling his tears. He only blinked before Jin was sitting beside him, holding on to him tightly in a sense of protection, hoping that maybe if he just help into him a little tighter, he could rid him of grief locking the beautiful angel in a death lock. But everything was too late. The angel was already broken.
