《YOONMIN ¦ before debut》finally
Advertisement
Jimin's POV:
Honestly, I'm not really sure what just happened. One second we're all having fun playing a game of Truth or dare, and tr next it all seems to go to hell. Jin gets mad at Yoongi. Yoongi gets mad at Jin. Yoongi says mean things. I get mad at Yoongi. And then here we are in hell.
Okay, fine. My room. But I share it with Jin sooo... not much of a difference.
I walk into the room to find Jin sprawled out onto the bed. I here him groan as he turns around to face the door. I send a sarcastic smile his way, and he sends one back. Jin then sits back up straight and opens up the conversation.
"What the fuck do you want?"
Great ice breaker
"This is my room too, I just want to sleep"
He sighs and moves over. I sit down next to him and get myself under the covers without another word spoken between the two of us.
After about 10 minutes of silence, I've had enough. I turn around and start
"Why'd you get mad when Yoongi brought up the fact that you hate me?"
"'Cause I just did"
"I mean, you hate me. It's a fact. Why were you angry"
"I don't hate you"
"Then why do you act like it?"
"'Cause I just do, okay! Can we just sleep now?"
"Not until you answer my question"
"Jimin, you're younger than me. Listen to your Hyung, and sleep"
"Why do you act like you hate me?"
"I don't know, sleep"
- I ain't taking no bullshit today, sir -
"Who do you hate, Kim Seokjin? If it isn't me"
"It's none of your business"
"Why are you so mean to me whe—"
"'Cause I'm the one I hate!"

- Wait, What? -
"What do you mean?"
"I don't hate you fucking Park Jimin. I hate me. I hate every single thing about me. I hate Kim Seokjin"
———————
Yoongi's POV:
I fucked up.
Jin's mad at me. Jimin's mad at me. Hobi's trying to make me feel better. Taehyung and Jungkook have disappeared to their room. And Namjoon is absolutely no help.
Like I'm glad he doesn't hate Jimin anymore, but he still doesn't want to leave Jin's side and I don't even know why. Jin is the one who started this. Jin's the one who isn't thinking properly about this and now, Jimin's getting punished because of this. He's with Jin in their room, and they are most likely fighting.
What have I done?
"Namjoon, why can't you help me with this?"
"'Cause this is between Jimin and Jin, not us"
"Well Jimin and Jin hate me, so I need you to help me not make them hate me. At least Jimin"
"I'm sorry I can't. I have too much to handle with Jin already"
"But why does Jin hate him? I figured you'd know"
"He doesn't want everyone to know, so I rather not say"
"C'mon Namjoon, I need to know. I want to help"
"I'm sorry Yoongi"
"My fucking god, you're seriously no help. I'm just trying to help both of our frie—"
"He hates himself Yoongi"
"What?"
"He hates himself"
"Jin? There's no way"
Namjoon simply nods
"Wait but why take this out on Jimin and not just talk to us?"
———————
Jin's POV:
"I had absolutely no experience in performing, singing or dancing . I hadn't even thought about it before, but they just told me to audition. So I said okay"
I pause
"They just hired me for my face, so I didn't really get into singing. I thought I'd just be an actor. Turns out I was wrong"

Cue sad chuckle
"Then, after a while, I realized I do indeed like it here. I like singing, I like dancing. That's about the time I officially joined BTS. I had started practicing more and more"
Pause
"I was the first vocalist so I had no one to compare my sound with. I was fine with the way I sung, so I focused more towards dancing. With Hobi around, i felt talentless in that category. I practiced more and more and felt like I was improving. I wasn't the best, and I'm still not, but seeing Hobi smile when I complete a routine makes me feel better"
Deep breath
"Then Jungkook came along. He was only 14 at the time. I felt like an elder with a child. This made me feel even worse when I found out he'd be the main vocalist. He was fucking 14, it didn't make sense. This made me feel more insecure about my voice. So, here comes my late night singing practices"
"Dancing was no longer as important, so I just focused on that. Jungkook eventually left for America 'cause he needed to improve his dancing, and I felt like I was pretty good. Tae came along and nothing much has changed. I kept singing until 3 - 4 ish am until I felt like I couldn't utter another word for the day. It was tough"
"When Jungkook came back from the US, I felt even worse. 'Cause now, he no longer looked dead as he was dancing. He got really good over a year in another country. I got jealous. He was so great at everything and here I was. Just a pretty face. But soon that went away"
"What?"
"I started paying less attention to my looks as I kept on practicing. Now both, singing and dancing. I had gained a few pounds too many 'cause I was stress eating. Wanted to lose the extra weight, so started making myself throw up. I'm still tempted in doing it sometimes. Luckily I have Namjoon with me everytime I eat. He reminds me not to do it"
"But why did you treat me the way you treated me?"
"'Cause you made me hate myself even more. I had gotten annoyed by your lack of flaws. The fact that you're the definition of perfection. I wanted to be that. That's who I was going for. I didn't realize how rude and inconsiderate I was being. But I guess, I subconsciously thought about how, if I lower your self esteem, your confidence will go down. Which means your performance won't be as good. Which means I would be better. I don't know why I was like that. And I'm sorry for everything I ever did or said"
"I wish I could accept your apology"
I look at him confused.
- Please tell me you're lying -
"You still did what you did, and it'll take me some time to get over it. But I'm glad I know your reasoning behind all of this. I'm hoping we can make this little argument go away as fast as it can"
He smiles at me, making his eyes disappear in the shape of crescents. This just makes me smile.
"Thank you. Thank you a million times. I'm sorry for causing this"
"Don't worry about it. You had your reasons and I wish you had told me earlier, I want to help you Jin. I really do"
I can't help but smile. I then look outside the window, seeing Yoongi pace back and forth as Namjoon and Hobi just watch him.
"I think you should go see Yoongi. Maybe resolve your little fight"
He looks past me at Yoongi, then turns back to me and nods. Jimin gets up from the bed and heads directly outside. I, without sounding too creepy, just watch from the bedroom window.

In the ancient desert metropolis of Wellspring City, magic is dead, and technology reigns supreme. Baulric Featherlight, one of thousands of street mages for hire, is summoned by the City Watch to assist with a particularly grisly murder - the deed was done by a rogue mage, and the fanatical Dynamic Brotherhood will have every arcanist in the city pay for it. The killer continues carving a line of death throughout all twenty sectors of the city, and anti-magic sentiment begins to rise. Will Featherlight's singular skills be enough to hunt down this elusive killer? Or will fear and old hatreds finally tear Wellspring City apart? (Cover art by the inestimable UncertaintyCrossing.
