"Tae, please don't cry." I said in a pleading tone, feeling my heart sting to see my best friend cry like this.

"J-Jiminie, m-my s-sweetie." That's all he could speak between his sobs.

"I know, I know but we can't do anything except collecting some money so that we can buy a new bicycle for you." I said, tried to reassure my best friend but he just kept crying.

I couldn't help but feel bad I continued rubbing his back, whispering sweet things into his ear but then I felt my phone vibrated. I took out my phone and saw texts from Yoongi.

Yoongi

Yoongi

Hey, why are you angry at me?

I didn't do anything.

Yahh! You are seeing my texts.

Reply me.

Please!!!

Seen✓✓

I didn't reply instead I locked my phone before putting it back in my pocket, feeling nothing but anger in my body because of that Jungkook.

This time he crossed his all limits and I'm also angry at Yoongi. I requested him to tell his fuck boy best friend to stay away from me and my best friend but still, he did such a horrible thing with my best friend and I won't forgive Yoongi for this.

I was lost in my thoughts but snapped when someone knocked on the door. I looked at Taehyung who was still crying while hugging the pillow.

I sighed as I made my way towards the door, opened it, and got startled a little when Taehyung's landlord, Kai barged inside the house and he was looking damn angry.

I gulped nervously, parted my lips to speak but he slightly pushed me and stepped towards Taehyung, grabbing him by his arm and growled, "Where is money? You haven't given me three months' rent!"

Taehyung looked at him with his red puffy eyes and said, "K-Kai, I-I don't have m-money r-right now."

"I DON'T CARE! I JUST WANT MY MONEY OR ELSE JUST GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!!" Kai screamed at Tae, causing him to flinch.

I gulped before speaking, "P-Please try to understand. H-He really doesn't have money right now."

"Look, I've already given him so much time but still, he didn't give me my money and today, I won't go until he gives me money." Kai said as he sat down on the bed.

I looked over at Tae who was looking down at his feet, chewing his lips, trying to hold back his tears but failed as tears started to fall from his beautiful eyes.

I took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I'll give you money. You just stay here." I told as I glanced at Tae who was now looking at me with his teary eyes. I just gave him a small smile before leaving the house and made my way towards my house.

After a while, I reached my house by walk since my house isn't that far from Tae's house so it took only fifteen minutes. Anyway, I stepped inside my house and found my mom in the kitchen.

Sometimes, I hate my mom. It's all her fault. If she wouldn't have kicked out Tae from the house then he couldn't have faced this problem.

I sighed as I walked to my room, stepped inside and opened my small wardrobe, started searching for my piggy bank.

"Here, it is." I mumbled when my eyes landed on my piggy bank. I grabbed it and threw it on the floor causing it to break since it was made up of clay.

I crouched down and picked the money that I was collecting for BTS concert but right now, Tae needs money and I'll help my best friend. I started collecting the money. Even though, it's not much but enough to ask for more time to Kai.

I grabbed the money and went downstairs, going back to Tae but my mom stopped me. I turned around and looked at her as she was already looking at me with her furious eyes.

"Where are you going?" She asked.

"I-I'm going to meet Tae." I replied as I hide money behind my back, not wanting her to know that I'm going to help Tae with money.

"I told you to stop hanging out with him then why are you going to meet him? Why don't you just listen to me, Jimin?!" She asked angrily.

"H-He is my best friend mom and he doesn't have anyone except me." I replied in a small voice.

"You aren't going to meet him. Go back to your room!" She shouted and I couldn't help but get angry as I shouted back, "I'm going to meet him!" I didn't waste any time and just left my house.

I could hear my mom shouting my name but I ignored her because Tae needs me right now.

After fifteen minutes, I reached back to Tae's house, stepped inside, and found Tae still crying while Kai was sitting on his bed, smoking.

I walked to Kai and showed him the money, "I know it's not enough money but I promise, we'll pay your money but please give us some time." I pleaded.

He snatched the money from my hands, started counting, "At least you gave me some." He said with a chuckle as he got up, looked at Tae, and mocked him, "You should learn something from your friend."

Tae didn't say anything, standing there with head hung low and then Kai left the house.

I let out a relieved sigh as I walked to Tae, putting my hand on his shoulder and said, "Tae, I_____" "W-Why Jiminie? W-Why did you pay my rent? I-I don't know i-if I would be able t-to payback you o-or not."

"Tae_____"

"I-I'm so stupid, useless, and pathetic!" He smacked his head, crying.

I didn't say anything just hugged him and he started crying more on my shoulder.

"I-I'm sorry Jiminie b-but I promise I-I'll find a-a job." He managed to speak between his sobs.

I broke the hug, cupped his face, wiped his tears, and said, "Yahh! I'm your best friend and best friends help each other in trouble so stop saying all this. Okay?" I growled at him, pouting and he slightly nodded with a small smile.

Next day~

Jimin was walking in the hallways of his college, making his way towards his class, missing his best friend who didn't come to college today, busy finding a job.

He continued walking but stopped in his tracks when someone called out his name and it was Yoongi.

Jimin ignored him as he started walking and Yoongi started screaming his name, getting furious by the other's ignorant behavior.

Jimin continued walking but a yelp escaped his mouth when Yoongi grabbed him by his forearm, stopping him.

"What's wrong Chim? Why are you ignoring me?!" Yoongi shouted through gritted teeth.

Jimin didn't reply as he pulled his arm from the other's grasp and started walking again, making Yoongi more furious.

Yoongi curled his hands into fists as he pinned the other against the wall and burst out in anger, "WHAT THE FUCK IS YOUR PROBLEM?! WHY ARE YOU IGNORING ME?!"

Jimin flinched as tears started falling on his cheeks and Yoongi couldn't help but regret screaming. He sighed as he cupped the other's face and apologized, "I'm sorry, Chim. I shouldn't have yelled at you but please tell me what happened?"

Jimin slightly pushed Yoongi, wiping his tears with the hem of his sleeves as he looked back at Yoongi and said, "Your best friend is the problem!"

"Have Jungkook done something again with you?"

"He didn't do anything with me but Tae." Jimin replied.

"If he didn't do anything with you then why are you reacting like he did something with you?" Yoongi asked with a dry chuckle.

"Yes, he didn't do anything with me but HE FUCKING BROKE MY BEST FRIEND!!" Jimin said, yelled at the last part, fuming in anger.

Yoongi gulped a little before speaking, "Okay, Okay. I understand."

"No! You can't understand!"

"Okay, I'm sorry for being rude but tell me, what has Jungkook done?" Yoongi asked.

Jimin bit his lip as he parted his lips and then explained everything to Yoongi who couldn't help but get shocked by hearing everything.

"I don't believe this. He has never done something like this with anyone." Yoongi said, ran his fingers in his hair.

"You know Yoongi? Tae has faced so many problems in his life." Jimin said in a sad tone, paused, and then continued, "His parents died in an accident when he was ten. His dad and my dad were friends."

"His uncle and aunt never cared for him. They treated him very badly but one day, my dad saw everything and he brought Tae to our house. We used to live in Busan at that time. I and Tae were already friends before dad brings him to our house and I got so happy after seeing him." He explained, a sad smile curled on his beautiful plump lips and he added afterward, "My mom never liked Tae."

"We have grown up and decided to study in Seoul college and thankfully we got scholarships. We both were so happy and excited then we shifted here in Seoul." Tears welled up in Jimin's eyes by recalling everything.

"B-But after two months m-my dad died because of a heart attack." A few tears rolled down his cheeks while explaining everything.

"I and Tae cried a lot and my mom, she already hates Tae so she kicked out him of the house, said that he is bad luck for us. I-I tried to stop h-her but S-She slapped me and y-you know what? T-Tae stayed in a park f-for two days because h-he didn't have any place to go." More tears started falling on his cheeks.

Yoongi was hearing everything carefully, feeling so fucking bad as he held the other's hand, tried to calm him.

"T-Then he found the place to live and a-also got a job but that Jungkook....." Jimin stopped, his eyes turning red in anger as he pulled his hand from the other's grasp and continued, "But your best friend took his job. He fucking insulted him many times and yesterday, he broke Tae's bicycle that was very precious to him."

Yoongi parted his lips to calm the other but Jimin interrupted- "I hate your best friend! I hate him so much!" Jimin spat angrily as he gave a soft push to Yoongi and just went away from there.

Yoongi let out frustrated groans, feeling bad for Taehyung while getting angry at his best friend for being an asshole.

"Why did you do that Kook?" He mumbled, ruffling his hair in frustration as he took out his phone and texted Jungkook.

I want to meet you

I can't meet you. I'm busy

Where are you??
