A/n: Hi guys! Thank you so much for being so patient with me as I continued perception! I’ll try my best to update more and be more active!
You and Josh finally left the party and went back to your apartment, you were bawling your eyes out the entire ride not sure how to feel about what you witnessed. Josh wasn’t exactly expecting that this was the guy that you were so head over heels for. “You know y/n, you could do so much better,” Josh sighs as he pulls you into a comforting hug. Josh was always like an older brother to you, he always made sure you were happy and safe, which reminded you of Taehyung. “This is the first time I’ve seen him act like this, he’s never done that before.” You try to say but you feel the urge to cry every time you open your mouth. Josh kept hugging you before he got up to get some hot tea and snacks from your cabinet and wrapped a blanket on you. “It’s time to forget about him, let’s watch some movies, okay?” You smiled softly as you nodded.
The next morning, Taehyung woke up he felt the warmth of another person and also a painful headache. Taehyung couldn’t remember much of last night but all he knew was that there was someone beside him. He looked over to see a girls bare back but the back didn’t belong to you, he smirked to himself thinking he really did go through with getting even and was a little proud. Soon memories of last night came flooding in, Taehyung remembered that he saw you with that guy when he was making out with some random girl. The girl started to groan, snapping Taehyung out of his thoughts. She smiled at him as she faced towards him, “morning baby,” she purred as Taehyung smiled at her. “Morning, how was your sleep?” Taehyung asked as she smiled and answered, Taehyung then replied how he slept. He wanted to let her go home but a part of him wanted to see how far this would go so he continued to talk to her. She was cute and Taehyung knew that if he kept her around for a bit that it would truly show you that he could move on easily and that if you wanted to play that game that he could do it as well. Taehyung learnt that her name was Kayla, she had short black hair and sharp blue eyes. Taehyung let her get dressed, they exchanged numbers and she left.
Taehyung got dressed and headed downstairs, he held a proud smile as he saw his roommates, usually when someone brings a girl home they all cheer him on when they see them after the night is over. However, once Taehyung got downstairs he saw the looks of disappointment and a lot of them looked sad. Jimin was looking down, he was being shunned by the rest of the boys. “What’s wrong with everyone? Shouldn’t you be cheering me on right now?” Taehyung asked as Namjoon let out a heavy sigh, no one talked. Everyone’s eyes were on Jimin, he didn’t want to say anything. “Anyways...I invited Kayla to our party next weekend, did you guys see y/n’s face? And she even brought that dude to the party.” Taehyung laughs as he walked away from the living room and went to get something to eat. The boys all waited for Taehyung to leave the room before glaring at Jimin. “You’re such an idiot how did you mess up their relationship like that?” Jin scolded. Jimin felt like a complete idiot, he just wanted to be a good friend and tell Taehyung that he suspected his girlfriend was cheating on him. Jimin too caught up in his own thinking didn’t realize that Yoongi was snapping his fingers at him. “You have to go apologize to y/n and tell Taehyung the truth, hopefully you can fix whatever is left of this relationship.” Yoongi snapped as Jimin nodded slowly.
Jimin was heading to your shop, he was angry at himself but also angry at the guys for being upset at him for being a good friend. He didn’t realize that they would be that upset at him for such a little mistake, as Jimin got closer to your shop he realized that maybe it was a better idea for you to not date Taehyung anymore. If it was that easy for Taehyung to move on then maybe you two weren’t meant to be with each other. Jimin thought that maybe you two would be happier and that he wouldn’t have to deal with Taehyung being upset at him, he smiled as he headed to the store, he knew he had to make sure that y/n saw that Taehyung had already moved on. When Jimin opened the door, he saw your friend sitting by the window drinking some coffee as he was working on homework, Jimin looked over to see you sweeping the floor. “Y/N!” Jimin smiled as he walked over to you, you gave him a small smile, he could tell that you had spent last night crying since your eyes were still a little puffy. “Hey Jimin,” you replied softly, you didn’t want to see any of the boys right now, after you witnessed Taehyung with another girl you thought it was best to distance yourself from the group. Jimin didn’t want to ask what was wrong since he knew that it would only give him more guilt about his decision and his great plan. He knew that after this you would be thanking him for letting Taehyung move on. “Sorry about last night, there’s a super cool party we are throwing this weekend and you have to come!” Jimin smiled, you looked at him with a sad smile. “Thanks for the offer but I don’t think I can go,” you replied, Jimin pouted and looked over at your friend before smirking. “Come on y/n, you gotta show your friend how wild parties over here get!” Jimin said loudly, Josh’s eyes widened as he smiled and headed over towards you two. “Come on y/n, we should go! You have to show me how wild these parties get, you’re always bragging about them on our calls!” Josh laughs as you finally smile too, “alright I suppose we can go if you really want to go” You said to Josh as Jimin smiled. “Great! I’ll see you two at the party this weekend!” Jimin said as you and Josh nodded.
Jimin went home and the boys were waiting to see the response that Jimin got from you, “So? How did it go?” Namjoon asked as Jimin tried to make up something, “I told her that it was all a misunderstanding and invited her to the party,” Jimin lied as the boys nodded and sighed in relief, “Okay good, now go tell that to Taehyung,” Hoseok sighed as they all relaxed. Jimin pouted as he headed to Taehyung’s room, thinking of some excuse, he opened the door to see Taehyung playing some games on his computer. “Hey Jimin,” Taehyung said not taking his eyes off the screen, “where did you go this morning?” Taehyung asked. Jimin wasn’t sure how to answer, “oh I went to see y/n,” his eyes widened since he didn’t mean to blurt that out. “Oh? Why?” Taehyung asked pausing his game and finally faced Jimin. “I just wanted to give her a piece of my mind,” Jimin lied as Taehyung laughed, “thanks bro, I appreciate you for always being on my side.” Jimin smiled as he left the room.
It was finally time for the party, you were looking in your closet for something to wear. Taehyung and you had not talked once since the night you caught him with that girl. You decided to wear something simple and cute, a white crop top with a black skirt, you headed downstairs to put on your shoes, you saw Josh sitting on the couch waiting for you. He smiled when he saw you, “you look so cute!” he said as you smiled back to his compliment. “You look great too! Ready to go?” You asked as he nodded and you both headed for the party.
Josh and you headed into the party when you saw the boys chilling by the kitchen, they waved at you as you awkwardly waved back, Josh saw that you felt uncomfortable and grabbed your hand and moved you through the crowds. “If you don’t want to talk to them tonight we can make new friends,” he smiled as you smiled back, you were so lucky to have him as a friend. The boys noticed that you walked away and looked at Jimin, “I thought you said that you told her that it was a misunderstanding, why is she avoiding us?” Jungkook asked Jimin as Jimin shrugged. He knew he had to get you to see Kayla so he tried to push through the crowds to find you. When Jimin finally found you he saw that you were talking to some of your classmates from your class. “Oh there you are, I was just gonna show you and Josh something!” Jimin smiled as you and Josh followed him, Jimin was explaining that it was some new thing he bought as he fake searched in his room, “Oh, I must have left it in Taehyung’s room.” You laughed, as you followed Jimin to Taehyung’s room. When Jimin opened the door, he saw that Taehyung was kissing Kayla, he smirked as he open the door fully. “Oh my god, I’m so sorry Taehyung, I didn’t realize you were in here!” Jimin shouted as he turned back to see your reaction. You had enough of this, you were done with Taehyung playing around, you walked over there, glaring daggers at the girl. “Can you get off of my boyfriend?” You glared as Kayla scoffed. “Sorry Sweetie, but I think you’re mistaken, he’s my boyfriend now.” She said as you pushed her off his lap. “Taehyung what the fuck is going on?” You asked as Taehyung rolled his eyes, “what are you even doing here?” He asked not even looking at you as he picked the girl up. “I don’t know what’s wrong with you! I literally just caught you with another girl and you’re acting like nothing happened?!” You screamed, Taehyung sighed, “can you not scream? it’s hurting my ears.” He coldly replied, Kayla laughed as she got back on his lap. “Face it, you lost, he’s mine now.” She giggled, as you felt your heart break into a million pieces.
