13 JAMAIS VU

"The drug. I'm confident that both Hyunjae and Steve have nothing to do with it," said Eunbi.

Jungkook looked at her sharped before he asked, "What make you said so?".

Eunbi straightens her seating position. She looked at everyone before he continued, "As far as I know, Hyunjae oppa is not that kind of person who does drugs. Same goes to Steve. I heard he is a pretty innocent and happy-go-lucky person. Oh, I forgot to tell you that Steve is actually gay! I don't think any of you know that".

Everyone looked at each other. Wait. What? Gay? Silence. Out of sudden Jin, Jimin and Hoseok laughed, while Jungkook, Taehyung, Namjoon and Yoongi got shocked. They looked at each other and frowned. They can't believe out of anywhere Eunbi told them Steve is gay.

Jimin and Jin looked at each other. Eyes locked. It has been a while since the last time they laughed sincerely to each other. Not because of the camera. Both of them smiled. Taehyung and Jungkook noticed their expression. They noticed how Jin and Jimin looked at each other full with brotherly love in their eyes. They feel relieved seeing the scene, hoping it will recover their relationship.

Taehyung turned his head to Jungkook. He noticed Jungkook saw the eye-contact between Jin and Jungkook. He hits on Jungkook's arm lightly and grinned. Jungkook looked at Taehyung from his cornered eyes and said "What?". Taehyung laughed before he hugged Jungkook's shoulder, "You are cute". Jungkook trying to remove Taehyung's hand from hugging him, but Taehyung keeps clinging onto him. He let him do what he wants.

Hoseok who is still laughing, asked Eunbi, "What make you think Steve is gay? Because he sleeps with Jin?" He giggling and looked at Jin's expression.

Jin glared at Hoseok. He rolled his eyes, "Ya! I'm uncomfortable hearing that. So shut your mouth"

Hoseok, Jimin and Taehyung giggling hearing Jin's response. It's pretty obvious that Jin is annoyed with the situation.

"Hobi-hyung is right. Why do you think he is gay? You said you only saw Steve once and don't know about him," asked Jimin.

Eunbi sighed before she continued, "Steve likes Hyunjae oppa. It's pretty obvious when he got jealous when I'm with him. Since we love the same person, we can see clearly with each other eyes. Even it was just one day, it leaves an impression".

Namjoon asked, "Okay, so does it means, he purposely wants to sleep with Jin? Because he likes Jin?"

Eunbi nodded her head, "Pretty much. That's why I think Hyunjae may not be the one that planned this. It could be Steve"

Yoongi straightens his sitting position. He looked at Eunbi's eyes to find the truth, "You are not saying this because you love Hyunjae right? You said you want to protect him."

"That is what I am doing now. Telling the truth about Steve and Hyunjae," Eunbi answered short.

"Hold on. Just now, we are talking about drugs, right? Why are we talking about his sexuality too much? The real issue isn't about Jin hyung sleeping with a gay, got caught in a picture or what. Hm, although it is also an issue, but it's not important. What is more important here is about the drug issue. We should focus on that," Namjoon tried to emphasise the main issue of their problem. Everyone becomes serious again.

Yoongi raised his hand, "Wait. Wait. Wait. I don't understand. Eunbi just said Hyunjae and Steve could have nothing to do with the drugs. But why do you cornered Steve into this, Eunbi-ssi?

Jin agreed to that, "Yoongi is right. If Hyunjae didn't do it, Steve also didn't do it, who the hell did that to me?"

Eunbi tried to clarify her claimed, "Okay, listen first. I didn't say Steve did it or trying to corner him. But it could be the whole incident happened just an accident. Jin-ssi could be really drunk and it happened that Steve was really wanted to help him, but take the opportunity to sleep with him. It's a good catch, though. Why should he leave it?"

"You're right. Jin-hyung is popular among gays". Jimin mumbling alone but everyone here it. Everyone chuckled and turned their head at Jimin. Jimin thought no one hears it because he said it softly. He shut his mouth at looked at Jin. Jin glared at him.

"Sorry," Jimin said short. But deep down he admitted, Jin hyung has a lot of gay fans.

Eunbi added, "It could be that Steve follows Hyunjae-oppa until the US and Hyunjae oppa left him alone. Hyunjae oppa is not gay afterall"

"Okay, that makes sense. But what about the drug?" asked Namjoon.

Eunbi quiet, she stared at Jin, "You really didn't take any drug, right?"

Jin surprised to the question, "What do you think I am? Wow. That's so hurt".

"Don't be mad. I'm just asking. Okay, if you really didn't take any drug, then there must be someone else put the drug in your clothes even before you unconscious. Then it's really someone want to trap you after the award show. But, there is a possibility the issue has nothing to do with Steve and Hyunjae. We need to consider that", said Eunbi.

Everyone quiet. No one ever thinks that it could be the possibility. BTS members looked at Jin to see his reaction, except Yoongi. He stared at Jimin. Could it be him behind this? But why?

"Hmm...if it's that the case, who? No one that I met before Steve, I just came out from Jimin's...," he stopped and looked at Jimin. No. It must be wrong. Why Jimin wants to do that? All this time it is just a thought. He just wanted to blame on something. He didn't mean to blame Jimin but just wants to vent his frustration and stress before this. Because of that kind of thinking, they are still in an awkward relationship, Jungkook and Jimin fought with each other. He still feels bad about it. But, it is really Jimin?

Hoseok stood and waved her hand, "No. No. No. It's not Jimin. Trust me. It's not Jimin's fault".

Jimin sighed. "Noona. What are you trying to say? Am I the kind of person you are thinking of? Wow. It's really frustrating".

"I didn't say it's you. What i'm trying to say is, it could be someone else. I heard the drug that they found, people can take it just by smelling it. With alcohol, people will immediately unconscious. I don't think Steve was stupid to give Jin the drug right in front of him. If he did that, Jin will definitely fell down in front of him. But from what I heard, Jin fell unconscious in front of his room. Not Steve's room. If it's in the pocket, there is a possibility that Jin already smells it a bit without he realised way before he went back to his room. Are you really sure you met no one else besides Jimin?"

Jin puzzled, "Seriously, I don't meet anyone else. Like I said before, the last memory that I remember that night was, I thought I found my room, the door is open. Then, I don't remember anything."

Jimin rolled his eyes, and interrupted, "So, it was me. The last person Jin-hyung met just me. Only me. Ah...seriously. If you want to blame me, just say it. No one will trust me after all," Jimin feel irritated and leave the room.

Everyone sighed. Again, Jimin becomes sensitive to this issue. But they can't blame him. Of course, it's hurt being cornered like this.

Yoongi, on the other hand, started plucking cracked skin on his lips and thinking. Why he always leaving at this time. Why he always run away from the discussion and make him looked pitiful. He knows if people think he is mad, people will give him some alone time to cool down. Is he take advantage of this? Knowing that people will leave him alone if he is mad. This is the best way to avoid everything and make him looked like a victim. But is he really a victim?
