"Are you okay?"
Taehyung reached out for Jimin's bangs, swiped it away from his eyes so that he could take a better look of the other. Jimin had been spacing out lately but he wasn't sure why. Not that Taehyung didn't notice it, Jimin didn't tell anything to him. One of his habit that Taehyung kinda disliked, Jimin kept almost all problems for himself, not gonna share to anyone. The reason was nice actually, he didn't want people to worry about him, he didn't want to add more burden to people, and so on.
Jimin was surprised at the touch but he didn't flinch. Taehyung was sweet, really, with that tone of concern on his voice and the gentle touch that could melt Jimin in anytime. This Taehyung was still the same Taehyung he knew. He had no idea if he was happy with that fact. Jimin still loved this Taehyung, his Taehyung. But now that he knew the reality, he'd rather ask Taehyung to change. The reason was no other than his own cousin.
"I guess so...?"
The answer came out just barely a whisper but Taehyung still heard it. Jimin still stared at nothing on the empty table, not even blinked. Taehyung felt worried. He slowly caressed Jimin's cheek, down to his chin, lifted it up slightly to make eye contact. But Jimin didn't want to.
"But you sound not sure about it?" Taehyung carefully asked. "What's bothering you? Tell me, Jiminie."
The nickname got him smiled. It sounded so nice hearing it from Taehyung. He sighed, now started to meet a pair of eyes in front of him. He pulled Taehyung's hand away from his chin and took it on his own. He studied the person before him, every single detail of his face, and saved it on his mind.
"There was a boy.." Jimin trailed off. "Let's say he fell in love with his friend that he just knew for two weeks. And surprisingly the other felt the same so they wanted to give it a try."
Taehyung nodded, somehow signalling Jimin that he was listening and asking him to go on. Little did Jimin know that Taehyung already assumed this was a story about them.
"They were happy, so happy that they could spend a whole day together without bothering about anything else." Jimin smiled softly. "They promised to each other to be together forever. Ain't they sweet?"
It made Taehyung smiled back. He consciously caressed Jimin's knuckles and tightened the grip. It was sweet. They were sweet. He admitted it.
"They thought life would be easier if they were together. But life was always unexpected." There was a glint of sadness on Jimin's eyes. "Somebody came and asked the boy to end the relationship."
Taehyung was taken aback. He wondered who it was. He wanted to ask but decided to keep it.
"This boy refused to do it." Jimin chuckled. "Because he loved this person too much."
He stared at Taehyung when he said that sentence. There was no sign of lie on his eyes. It spoke love. Taehyung brought the intertwined hands up to his lips and kissed Jimin's fingers softly. He wanted to show that he agreed it, that he also loved Jimin too much. The latter blushed on the action and bit his bottom lip to distract the fluttering feeling inside his stomach.
"What's on your mind by hearing this, Tae?" Jimin looked at him hopefully. "Would you do the same as this boy?"
