-Jin POV-

The frat party was ok, nothing too exciting to be hyped about, I almost feel bored.

All the money BTS won from the competition, was spent on this lame celebration.

It's not even free either, everyone pays $50 to get in, guys and girls.

Yoongi was acting like nothing went wrong, and it just shows how cruel he truly is.

Jimin was already trapping his next prey, this time it's a girl.

Namjoon wasn't a surprise to have sided with Yoongi, they're best friends.

Unlike Taehyung, I see he's avoiding me, I thought he was my boy, my brother, my best friend.

I was wrong.

I guess since he spent so much time with Yoongi, he replaced me.

Sad.

"You ok Jin?" Hoseok asked and came to stand by me.

"Can we go somewhere? I don't want to be here any longer, everyone here is just a joke."

He sighed, "I know, if you want, Hana was just telling me she wants to leave too. I suggest you go with her."

I looked over and spotted Hana by herself with a drink in her hand, looking blunt as ever.

I chuckled, "Will do. Thanks. Oh and call me if anything." I assured.

"You got it." He walked away.

As I put down my drink and headed towards Hana, Taehyung stopped me in my tracks.

"What do you want, Tae?" I asked in an unbiased tone.

"Can we talk?" He asked.

"What for?"

"Please." He said.

I sighed, "If it's to tell me off then no."

"Man just meet me in the bathroom. Don't make it look obvious." He said and headed there first.

What could he possibly want to say to me? I have no idea but I'm a little suspicious as to what..

I texted Hoseok what was happening and told him to be on stand by in case of anything.

With that being done, I casually headed to the bathroom like I had nothing to hide.

-restroom-

I peeped in and saw Taehyung by the sink, "What is it that you want.." I told him and shut the door.

Taehyung didn't hesitate to hug me.

"Don't ever leave like that again." He said and pulled away, "Next time take me with you. Don't EVER leave me alone." He said.

I pushed him off me, "What kind of bullshit is this?" I asked furiously, "You think I believe you?"

"You have to! I'm your best friend-"

"Bullshit!" I exclaimed, "You never called and frankly never cared either."

"But-"

"Hana was much more caring than you, and that's sad for me to say because I'm supposed to hate her." I told him.

"Hana isn't innocent in any of this. Don't you see she's trying to win you over just to piss off Yoongi?" He said, "Hoseok is out of the picture, its Yoongi she's after."

"Shut the hell up, Taehyung. You don't know anything."

He chuckled, "I know a lot more than you think, Jin. I'm telling you, that girl is trouble and she's dragging you with her."

"I don't care. Whatever you say I refuse to believe that. You sided with Yoongi."

"No I didn't."

"Stop lying! Ugh!" I pushed him, "You're SO manipulative."

"Call me whatever you want!" He shouted, "You out of everyone should KNOW Hana never had good intentions with ANYONE."

"Shut up!" I screamed.

Taehyung grabbed the collar of my sweater and rammed me against the tiled wall, "You need to listen to me!" He told me, "I am YOUR best friend and I'm only looking out for YOU!"

"LIES." I shouted at him and harshly pushed him off me, "You didn't defend me when Yoongi was talking down on me, you were never treated horribly-"

"Stop." He said, "Don't go any further, in case you've forgotten, I have been through the good AND THE BAD with you. So don't even say you're the only victim in this."

I huffed, "I swear you're full of shit."

"What?" He said.

"You're quick to say you've been through the struggle but in case YOU'VE forgotten, YOU WERE EASILY ACCEPTED."

"That's not true!" He argued, "You think Yoongi was easy on me?"

"It's so obvious he was!" I said, "You never had a reason to fear him because he liked you right away. He always took me as a joke, even when I contributed a lot. That never mattered to him because he only wanted to humiliate me." I said.

He sighed, "Look, Yoongi's mean but you should've known that from the start."

"I actually thought he'd have a change of heart!"

"It's Yoongi." He reminded.

"That's sad."

"Yeah well what are you gonna do about it?" He asked.

"Take him down."

He remained silent for a moment.

I wonder what's going through his mind.

"Let me help you." He offered.

I laughed, "No."

"What? Why?"

"You're not trustworthy."

"But I just-"

"Unless you show me you want to help, then I'll consider it. Other than that, stay out of my way." I said and left him speechless.

I barged out of the restroom and noticed Hoseok was just down the hall. I walked over to him.

"What happened?" He asked.

"I'll tell you later. Where's Hana?"

"She just left. But-"

"Ok. I'm leaving too then. Later."

"Bye..?" he said awkwardly.

As I passed through the crowd, I noticed Yoongi by the stand with Namjoon, they both stared me down as if wanting to taunt me.

I simply ignored them.

"Leaving so soon, Jin?" Jimin asked as he stopped me in my tracks with a slight smirk on his face.

"Isn't it obvious?" I answered.

"Heh. What's wrong?" He asked.

"Stop trying to act like you care." I muttered.

"I don't, I'm just wondering what your next move will be, I suggest you be careful because this fraternity is in fact a very powerful one." He reminded.

"Quit jabbering about this lame fraternity, you dare call yourself a brother when in reality, you can't defend yourself from Yoongi."

His smile instantly faded, "Excuse me? Lame fraternity? Last time I checked, weren't you working your ass off to be in THIS fraternity?" He told me.

"Yes. But that was until I realized how fake and misleading it is. You guys don't know the definition of running a fraternity, you guys take it as a joke and humiliate yourselves. Just wait until I'm done with you all." I said.

He laughed, "You say it like you're determined."

"I am." I muttered.

"Don't be ridiculous, you and what Army?"

I remained silent.

"Ask Jungkook if he wants his stuff back, otherwise I burn everything that isn't mine." He said.

"Another thing." I began before he walked away.

His gaze met mine.

"Jungkook is far way better single, than with you." I informed.

He grew serious, "Say that again, I dare you."

"He's happy now, and I know he'll find someone more suitable. You're a joke." I insulted.

Instead of punching me in the face or attacking me, Jimin gritted his teeth and smashed his drink to the ground.

I watched him stomp away.

Seem like that sure got to him, I'm glad, with that I exited.

Once I was outside, I spotted Hana walking by herself. I jogged over to her.

"Hey." I said.

Her eyes met mine, "Oh hey."

"Why didn't you wait for me?" I asked.

"I didn't see you anywhere so I assumed you left." She answered.

"You could've texted me. I was in the restroom."

"Oh.." she uttered.

"Hey." I said and grabbed her, "What's wrong? I know you're not ok."

She sighed and moved away, "I'm fine Jin, don't ask."

Don't ask?

I grabbed her again, "Hana?"

Hana lowered her head timidly and began to cry silently.

"Hana.." I said more softly and held her gently.

She sniffled and looked at me, "Yoongi is right."

I raised and eyebrow, "Huh?"

She sobbed, "I'm a no good for nothing whore."

"He said that to you while I was gone?" I asked quite upset.

Hana cried, "It doesn't matter. It's the truth, I played all of you. I have no respect for myself and I certainly do not deserve love. Don't you see? I'm no use to anyone-"

"Stop it. Shut up." I told her.

She sniffled and met my gaze, "Hmm?"

"Hana. What you did to us was... disgusting but hey, you're a young human being. You didn't know any better, we're in college for crying out loud? Sure it hurt what you did to me but, don't let it define you." I said, "Not like you're always going to be that way."

Her eyes were drowned in tears, "But the thing is Jin, I don't think I can ever forget what I did to you and your friends. Nor do I think I can forgive myself!"

"Hey." I held her hands, "First off, Yoongi isn't my friend, he's no ones friend, he wouldn't know how to earn that title. Second, you probably can't now because the wound is still fresh, but later on you will be able to, I know it." I assured her.

She shaked her head, "No... I won't."

I pulled her in for a hug and carressed the back of her head, "Yes you will. Trust me."

Hana hugged me back and cried into my chest, I held her tightly.

"He is so mean.." she whispered.

Yoongi's such a dick.

I know I am one too for the way I've been treating Hana, but I need to stop.

She isn't the target anymore, Yoongi is.

He's going to pay for everything.

This whole time I was blinded by his stupid fraternity and kind brotherly acts.

I should've reminded myself that he's no good, I'll take the blame for that.

Everything else is on him, he'll regret ever humiliating me the way he did.

He'll regret ever saying what he did.

He'll definitely regret making my best friend since childhood, go against me.

I pulled away and looked at Hana, "C'mon, I'm taking you back to your dorm."

"Can't I stay with you?" She asked.

I sighed, "My room is in the fraternity house.."

She frowned, "Where will you sleep?"

"On second thought, how about I stay with you in your dorm, it's only safe."

"What about Hoseok and Jungkook?" She asked.

"Yoongi hates me more than he dislikes them, they'll be fine."

She nods, "All right."

-Taehyung POV-

Jin doesn't trust me anymore....

My best friend since I was small.

It hurt to hear what he said.

It hurt more when I didn't defend him, instead I threw him under the bus. Something I know he never would've done to me.

Now I wouldn't be surprised if he does the same.

Sigh.

This is all messed up, none of this was supposed to happen, this year was supposed to be a good one.

It started out as one but now look what's come to happen.

I never saw it coming.

Jin didn't either.

What have I done? What am I doing?

This isn't like me, I'm supposed to have Jin's back like I've always had.

Jin needs me right now but I'm being stupid, gosh I hate myself.

I'm torn in between.

Yoongi would rip me to shreds if I was to switch sides, but then I'd lose a life long friend.

Its one or the other, and I don't want neither.

I wish it was easy to make-up my mind.

But it's not.

I was in the house on the couch when Yoongi, Namjoon, and Jimin walked inside all tired.

Namjoon: Tae will you- fluff- uh.. weee~

Namjoon's drunk. Most definitely.

He almost tripped when Jimin caught him, chuckling light heartedly.

Jimin: Take it easy there, bud.

Jimin gently sat Namjoon down on the couch across from me, meanwhile I remained quiet.

"You ok there, Taehyung?" Yoongi asked as he eyed me.

"Yeah, just tired." I answered.

He sat beside me, "You're not bummed because of Jin, right?" He asked.

How could someone have the heart to try and tear a part a friendship?

"Well?" He said.

"No. I guess Jin can't handle such treatment.." I said unwillingly.

He smirked and layed down, "Tell me about it, he's going to throw away all his hard work because of me. I mean, I wasn't too harsh."

Too harsh? What he said was uncalled for.

"Yeah." I said.

He sighed, "It just sucks because Hoseok is resigning too, and Jungkook might be next."

Jimin: Jungkook won't be next. Leave him to me.

Namjoon: Yeah! Teach him a lesson *burps*

Yoongi: I can't believe Jin is soo stupid.

"How so?" I asked.

Yoongi: He's with Hana.

Jimin: After all she did.

Namjoon: She made us feel like complete idiots I mean WHAT THE SHIT.

"Well..." I began, "Jin did like her.. genuinely." I said.

Yoongi: Genuinely? What kind of shit is that?

Jimin: Sounds like an excuse to me.

"It's not." I defended, "Jin's liked her since he saw her, he probably sees through the bad she's done."

Yoongi: So does he have see through vision now? Pssh. Tae please, stop trying to defend him. Jin is going no where with that girl, she's literally making a fool out of him.

Jimin: Thank goodness he's resigning, I wouldn't want everyone on campus to think we're some pushover fraternity.

Pushovers?

Yoongi: But hey. Thanks for staying loyal and remaining on our side, good things will come your way, Taehyung.

Good things?...

Something tells me they're treating ME like a pushover right now.

Now that I really think about it, I AM a pushover.

Everything they've done and got away with.. I was an accomplice.

I never said anything though because-

I'm a pushover...

Jimin: Yo Tae, mind getting me my slippers from my room?

In a way I'm sort of like...

Yoongi: And heat me up some leftovers.
