A V x J-hope story…
After taking a hot shower, Jimin walked out of the bathroom, with only a towel wrapping his lower body. Confidently stepping into the room, whistling, he stopped upon seeing J-hope in front of the mirror, styling his hair. With a smirk on Jimin’s face, he went forward and wrapped his arms round J-hope’s waist.
J-hope had long noticed Jimin’s presence through the mirror and was not surprised by the back hug.
Resting his face on J-hope’s back, he took a deep breath before commenting, “You smell good hyung.”
“But I haven’t bathe yet though.”
“Then do you wanna bathe together? With me?”
“Didn’t you just come out of the shower few minutes ago?”
“I don’t mind taking another shower, with you, hyung.”
“Stop with your perverted thoughts Jimin,” J-hope forced out a smile and shook his head.
Despite being pushed away lightly by his hyung, Jimin managed to pull J-hope back into his embrace, now with their foreheads leaning on each other. Jimin’s eyes were full of lust, not surprising at all, and his suspicious hands were crawling underneath J-hope’s shirt.
“Stop it Jimin,” J-hope whispered, it wasn’t those ‘although I’m saying stop it, but you don’t listen to me’, he was being serious, firmly stopping Jimin’s hands from proceeding upwards.
“Wae you hyung?” Jimin pouted.
“I don’t feel like doing it today.”
“But I do…”
At this moment, there was a sudden ‘eh hem’ from somewhere. Jimin tracked the source of the sound and looked up. Indeed, the fake cough came from someone on the upper deck of the bunk bed. And nicely one second later, V extended his neck out to acknowledge his presence.
“Why is he here?” Jimin looked at J-hope intensely.
“I- I asked him to move back. We don’t need this room by ourselves anyway.”
“We do!” Jimin exclaimed, “how about our couple time?”
“It’s just not a good idea to kick Taehyung out of his own room.”
“That’s right!” Taehyung jumped down from the bed and stood in front of them with a bright smile. “And technically, you, Jimin, will be sleeping on the upper deck and I’ll take the lower deck, as Hoseok hyung is already occupying the single bed beside.”
“Wae?” agitated Jimin asked, “who gave you the permission to make this arrangement?”
“Hoseok hyung.”
Jimin immediately turned to J-hope, “wae hyung? Why did you decide this without asking for my opinion?”
“I…”
V interrupted with “did you even asked for Hosoek hyung’s permission before going to the club? Did you even asked Hoseok hyung, aka your boyfriend, for his opinion before flirting with those girls?”
“Yah Kim Taehyung! This matter is between us and you are of no rights to interfere. So now, get out of this room while we settle our matter alone.”
V immediately looked at J-hope, and got a small nod as an answer. Disappointed, V could only listen to his hyung and dragged himself out of the room.
It was the 13 of October, aka Jimin’s birthday. Birthday celebration is a must, and you guess it right, it was held at a club, as requested by the birthday boy. Having the entire club booked just for his birthday party, Jimin invited majority girls to accompany, and of course with his other six buddies.
Glasses of wine were served and girls were fighting to sit beside Jimin. Jimin was of course enjoying his day, hugging a girl with his left hand and swirling the glass of wine with the other. However, J-hope was not into the mood at all.
Indeed, it wasn’t Jimin’s first visit to a club and it wasn’t J-hope’s first time visiting how girls were trying to hook his boyfriend and his boyfriend was gladly allowing girls to touch his body. The old J-hope, who loves Jimin that much, could tolerate all these, closing one eye to the matter, in the matter of fact, closing two eyes even.
However, today, it was different.
J-hope’s mind was filled with questions like “Is the really the man I wanna love with all my heart? Does he really loves me as much as I love him? Will he still be surviving well if I leave him?” He unknowingly let out a loud sigh, and it was heard by V, who was sitting right beside him.
Thanks to the loud blasting music, V sat closer to his hyung and whispered, “wae you hyung? You look gloomy today.”
V was one of J-hope’s most trustable friend, and he’s the best candidate to talk to should J-hope wanna vent about his relationship with Jimin. Especially after being their roommate, V knew almost everything about the couple’s relationship. He knew how J-hope was on the brink of mental breakdown, and knew exactly how many times J-hope wanted to break up with Jimin but having no courage to do so.
“I don’t think I can live without Jimin” was J-hope’s excuse to hide all those pain he suffered as Jimin’s secret boyfriend. V tried to help his hyung get out of this horrible situation, and also help himself to confess to his hyung, the one he had a crush on even before he got together with Jimin.
J-hope could feel that V was treating him exceptionally nice, and he was enjoying it too. He thought V was his hope to start a new chapter in his life. But then…he know he still love Jimin – not as much as before, but there is still….some.
“Cheer up hyung,” V smiled brightly, “it’s a happy occasion and you shouldn’t be having a frown on your face hyung!”
“Thank you Taehyung, for at least noticing that I’m not feeling that comfortable now. But, you can be like the others, go talk to the girls, see how happy Namjoon look with the girl sitting on his lap.”
“And see how unhappy Jin hyung looks with his trembling hand holding onto the glass of wine.”
Both of them broke into laughter and shook their head slightly at how they just spotted another Bangtan couple. V even tried to imitate Jin’s action, which brought another smile to J-hope’s face.
“I can’t enjoy myself if you’re not happy hyung,” V said seriously, “stop being bothered about Jimin and just enjoy life. Loving someone that hurts you day and night isn’t a healthy relationship. I don’t wanna see you suffer hyung.”
J-hope leaned his head against V’s, whispering into his ears, “Kumawol Taehyungie, at least I know there’s somebody in this world that cares about me.”
“I don’t only wanna be the guy who cares about you, I want to be the guy who loves you, with all my heart and soul, and I’m already doing it now, loving you deeper and deeper each day hyung.”
Silence was J-hope’s reply. To be honest, he had long knew V had feelings for him, but ‘making a choice’ wasn’t the most appropriate decision currently, he thought. As long as Taehyung doesn’t say it out, he can still remain as friends, close friends even. But sadly, Taehyung chose to confess, on this very day.
“Don’t do this to me Taehyung,” J-hope uttered under his breath.
“I don’t wanna wait anymore hyung, I love you.”
Silence, again. If you see it positively, yea great, at least J-hope did not give a slap on V’s face and walk away; at least he kept quiet instead of rejecting him instantly. Yea, V was being that optimistic that day.
V slowly lifted J-hope’s chin up and brought their faces closer. J-hope closed his eyes, and that was a signal to V, giving him the permission to…kiss. J-hope’s mouth was shut tightly, internally still debating whether closing his eyes remaining still is the right choice to do now.
That’s it! Jimin couldn’t take it. He had been watching the duo for quite sometime, ever since they started chatting and laughing. Jimin hated that smile on J-hope’s face, it was one he never see before.
They are in a club for goodness sake. Music is blasting out loud, girls are nosily chatting and how dare they isolate them at a corner, putting on this romantic filter and go on to kissing like nobody’s business?
He pushed away that girl beside him and stomped furiously to the couple. The fact that their lips had been separated did not ease the fire inside Jimin.
“Hyung, we need to talk,” Jimin said firmly, concealing his anger. He took one more glance at V, a fierce one, before leading his boyfriend to the rooftop.
Staring angrily at his boyfriend, yet not opening his mouth to vent his anger, the atmosphere was awkward. By that time, J-hope had realised how huge of a consequence his closing-eye action made, but surprisingly, he wasn’t that guilty. He was actually glad at the fact that Jimin actually noticed himself, for once, in the club, and is currently, jealous?
Jimin finally broke the silence, with a calm tone, “Tell me Taehyung was the one who wanted you kiss you and you were forced by him.”
“I- I-“
“Please, say yes and I’ll forgive you.”
J-hope squeezed his eyes tightly while shaking his head. Looking down on the ground, he uttered under his breath, “Let’s break up.”
“Ne?”
“Let’s break up, Jimin. I’m tired of this shit, this whole relationship thing with you.”
“Mwo?!?”
“If I could open my heart and show you how damaged it is, I will do it. Every time I look in the mirror, I feel disgusted by myself, why am I being so pathetic? Loving someone that I know hurt me and would still, hurt me multiple times…if this is a test I would have gotten a Grade A, and it’s time for me to graduate. It’s time for me to find someone that truly loves me.”
“But hyung- seriously what happened to you? You were fine until the last time we made out, which was two weeks ago? And then you changed. Seriously, we agreed to be in this relationship. I did not force you to, and you, also agreed to tolerate my flirting habits. Why did you change all of a sudden?”
Suddenly, somebody barged into the scene. It was V, grabbing hold onto J-hope’s wrist, which was already been held by Jimin. It formed a three-sided tug-of-war, which kinda represents their relationship now.
“What are you doing here Kim Taehyung?” Jimin rolled his eyes.
“I came to get what’s mine.”
“There’s nothing yours here so get lost!”
“Aniyo, my love is here, being tortured by you and how can I do nothing?”
Immediately, V turned to J-hope and whispered, “Let’s go hyung.”
“He’s not going anywhere,” Jimin replied, tightening his grip on J-hope wrist.
Now, it’s all up to J-hope, whether to go back to someone whom he regarded as his world, or someone who seemed to love him a lot. J-hope grabbed hold onto the hand, and pushed it away forcefully.
“What the-“
“We’re over now Jimin,” J-hope sighed before making eye contact with V. They exchanged glances, as J-hope nodded his head slightly. That gave V the green light to pull him away, as they ran out of the club, to somewhere dark, yet, safe.
Finally stopping after turn, J-hope smiled, a genuine one after so long, and said, “Taehyung ah, you can let go of my hand now. Your grip is so tight it’s probably turning purple.”
“Aniyo hyung, I don’t wanna let go of your hand, ever, ever again.”
“Taehyung ah…”
“Please, hyung, give me one chance to love you with all my ability, I promise, I won’t break your heart. Because…I love you.”
J-hope bit his lips and nodded his head, “Arra, the fact that I chose to let you take me away already means that I have decided to accept you.”
“Keke so can I call you my boyfriend now?”
“Hmm…I prefer jagi!”
