Chapter 8: LOVE MAZE
Hoseok stood and asked, "Hyung! Do you really think Jimin is behind all this?" Hoseok pissed. He got really shocked. How can Jin doubt on Jimin? Jimin is a BTS member. He will never do anything that will ruin his own reputation.
Jin stared at Jimin. Honestly, he didn't think Jimin will do any harm to him. He trusts Jimin. But he can't deny the fact that the whole things are bothering him. It seemed like everything is evolved with people who are just around him. People said your best friend can be your enemy. Hence, everything is possible, right? Not a coincidence. Who knows the real truth?
First, they never thought that Big Hit staff would be involved in this case. Now out of sudden, they found out that this issue has a relation with Big Hit. Someone from Big Hit could be the one behind this mess. Who knows, maybe his own member trying to betray him? Although he had no idea why it must be him, there is a possibility.
Second, when we looked back, Jimin is always the one who frequently around him. It's kinda suspicious. During the drunk incident, during his fight with Yoongi, when the news broke, even this morning, he came without any notice to his room and simply just want to eat breakfast? Doesn't it make sense? BTS has 7 members, why did he choose Jin? When he think again Jimin is always around him. Both of them are not even a roommate. At first, he thinks it's Jimin personality love to console and listen, enjoy being around people. But now it's suspicious when every single thing has Jimin existence. Is Jimin monitoring him? Why he never notice this before?
Jimin's expression becomes dark. He didn't give any response. He looked at Jin. Long. He read through Jin's expression. Both of them stared at each other's eyes long.
Jin holds his breath before speaking, "I don't want to doubt you. Because it makes me more insecure. I want to trust you. But I can't help to feel doubt. Even Big Hit staff that I thought can protect me is now could be the one who did this to me. How can I trust anyone at this rate? I don't know who should I trust".
Jimin still didn't respond and still staring at Jin. Everyone becomes quiet as they understand from Jin's point of view.
Jin continued, "If you didn't do it. Just deny it and make me believe in you. Please convince me. I really don't know who I can rely now on, who is actually at my side".
After hearing that, Jimin coldly said, "Is it really that shallow the trust that you have in me? Honestly, I feel really disappointed with you now".
Jin didn't reply to that. Yes, he can't trust anyone at this point. He wanted to trust but afraid that he will get hurt.
Looking at Jin who can't answer to that make Jimin sighed. He tried to control his emotion hard. He bottled it inside. Before he blows up, he got up and continued, "I'm not the kind of people who will fight with anyone. So, let me get out of this room. I wanted some fresh air". Jimin gets out from the room alone. Taehyung saw no one following Jimin, decided to follow Jimin from behind. Afraid that something might happen. Taehyung wanted to accompany Jimin.
The room become silent again. Sejin sighed. "Jin-iya, why did you say that? Even if it's in your head, you don't have to say something that you unsure. What if Jimin is purely innocent? What you are going to do?".
Namjoon came closer and tapped on Jin's shoulder. "Right, hyung. I understand how you feel. But how can you accused like that towards Jimin?".
Jin sighed. He became puzzle with the whole things that just happened. He did felt regret for saying that, but he rather say it out loud than keep his thought inside. They are so closed. BTS is one. He believe opened up his thoughts is better to solve the problem. Who knows that his gut feelings might be right? He needs to prepare himself for the worst, although he might get hurt.
"If he didn't do it, why he didn't deny? I will definitely trust him if he deny my accusation," said Jin.
"Ah...hyung. What if he didn't do? How are you going to do to clear this mess?" asked Jungkook.
Yoongi who observed the whole things silently speak up, "Hyung, I understand how you felt hyung. We don't blame you for feeling that way. I know you can't deny the thought. But you can't simply accused him openly like this. I can clearly see you have doubt before you said it. You clearly know that our relationship will be ruined, but you still said it without thinking deeply. Why don't you discussed with any of us first to sort out this before you accused him like this?".
Jungkook added, "Right, hyung. We don't blame you. But we need to take care of this relationship. We are not rookie anymore. We really need to take care of each other. The higher we go, more people want to pull us down. Don't get trap with this scandal". Jungkook who wasn't expressive suddenly thinking like an adult and try to maturely help BTS in this hard situation.
"Let just say if Jimin is really the one behind this, what do you think might be the reason he did that. Do you have any idea?" asked Hoseok.
Jin shook. He has no idea why Jimin wanted to do this. He just felt that Jimin definitely contributed in this problem.
Sejin expressed his thought, "I don't think any of you are wrong. It is just that you got shocked by the update that Big Hit is involved and your emotion took over your mind. Both of you are emotional right now. Nevermind, I will looked into what you have said, Jin. I will put your thoughts into consideration. I am not taking anyone side, but I will try to find out more about this. Until I find out this, try not to fight with each other. Remember that you are currently on tour. Don't let it ruin your performance. Namjoon-a, you should talk to Jimin and Taehyung as well".
"Will do, hyung" responded Namjoon short. Being a leader is hard when he has to make sure all 7 of them in control. With the trust he has in BTS, he knows they will stick together no matter how hard they fight.
2 days of concert passed by. BTS completed the concerts successfully without any issue despite of the fight they have among themselves. On stage, they become one and professionally completed their performance without letting their emotion interfere with their stage. However, when they go off stage, Jin and Jimin didn't talk much besides than work which makes the members worrying about them.
Hoseok goes to Namjoon and talked to him personally, "I think we need to do something to fix this. They didn't talk to each other much. I'm getting awkward staying in between them".
Namjoon nodded, agreed to Hoseok. "Jimin these days always find me. Eat together with me, talked with me more than usual. He even suggested to do v-live with me. Usually he will join Jin-hyung. I feel bad for him. He must be really not comfortable and lonely".
"Yes, I saw him playing around with Taehyung on stage. He also tried to get along with Jin on stage like nothing happened. I guess Jimin is the type who will forgive but never forget if he got hurt. I don't remember Jin-hyung ask for forgiveness. But I think Jimin forgave Jin-hyung for the sake of BTS. Look at how happy he is during our concert. I think he expressed himself through our performance. But I pitied Jin hyung as well. He must be really insecure. He might feel his enemy is everywhere. Having no one that he can trust entirely must be really hurt," Hoseok added.
Namjoon continued, "Remember when ARMY sang Young Forever during our concert? Wow, seriously I choked myself because I saw ARMY singing. I looked at our members, I saw Jimin started crying. Jin hyung's eyes got all wet. Even Jungkook was crying. I got really emotional looked at all of you. We went through a lot just to be at our level now. Looking at our situation now makes me became more emotional. People see us laughing and playing around. But they never know the sadness and loneliness we had. They don't know our insecurity. But we keep going, want to give more to them. The song was really about us. The story that remain hidden from public".
Hoseok agreed, "Correct. ARMY really understand us well. More than what we expected. I wish to give more than what I received. Looking at our members, I can understand how Jimin and Jin felt that time. With this issue, and the higher we got, the more pressure and insecurity we had. I saw Jungkook crying make me want to burst more. He is the youngest. Facing these kinds of life at such a young age, I don't know how he able to bear it. I believe all 7 of us feel the same. We became one that time. Happy and sad at the same time. But why do we need to fight with each other now? Our memories and struggles should be enough to put ourselves together".
Suddenly Taehyung rushed into them. He seemed like just running as he became short of breath.
They got shocked with Taehyung sudden appearance, "Why? Why? Why?" asked Hoseok and Namjoon.
"Jimin...Jungkook...," Taehyung trying to catch his breath.
"Why? What's wrong with them?" asked Namjoon furiously.
Taehyung gulped, "They got into a fight. Jimin accidentally hit Jungkook. Ah...I don't know he accidentally did that or what! But Jungkook didn't fight back, and arguing instead. Jimin got really angry. Suga hyung is now trying to calm the situation".
Hoseok gets up as he shocked. He pulled Namjoon's hand fast, "Ya, ya, ya! We need to separate them fast! I never see Jungkook angry. Jimin usually become talkative when he is angry but quiet when it is too much. Silent treatment. It's different now. I am afraid something bad might happen".
They run through the corridor before they bumped into Jin who also run towards the room that they were fighting. Their voices were too loud.
"Then, why don't you admit? I see...Jin hyung is right! That's why you can't deny. Right?!" Jungkook yelled at Jimin. Jungkook's voice filled the room. Namjoon, Jin, Hoseok, and Taehyung outside the room can clearly hear his voice.
By the time they reached the door, they saw Jimin pushed Yoongi's hands from holding his arms. He wanted to move forward and reach Jungkook. But Yoongi was faster, he stood in front of Jimin and blocked him with his body. Jimin's breath becomes hard. He glared at Yoongi. Yoongi still trying to avoid him from going near Jungkook. He can't control his emotion. He doesn't want to beat Jungkook either. He turned around and kicked the table behind him. Released his anger. He blew up his anger to the table. The glass on the table shake, fell down and broke into pieces. The broken glass sound was loud. All 7 of BTS members became shocked.
"Ya!! What are you doing!!" Yoongi shouted. Angrily.
