Taehyung opens his eyes to the sound of his alarm blaring in the room, sleepily reaching out for it to turn it off only to be reminded that he put it on his study table.

Slowly he gets out of bed, sits on the chair and turns off the device. His body feigning sleep when he suddenly remembers why he had set his alarm a little earlier than usual and it causes his consciousness to be fully aware of what he should be doing right now than go back in his precious sleep.

After checking himself in the mirror he saunters down to their kitchen only to see his mother getting started with breakfast.

“Oh Tae-ah, aren’t you a little bit early for school?” His mother asks as she sees him enter the kitchen.

“Yeah, actually mom, Hoseok-hyung invited me to tag along for early last minute practice. Remember I told you they’ll be having a game today?” his mother nods in affirmation and he resumes. “Jin-hyung is gonna be there too, so I won’t be entirely alone.”

“Hmm, you could’ve told me yesterday so that I could’ve made you something to eat.” She tells him as she pours him some milk into a glass.

“It’s alright mom, I’m sure Jin-hyung is gonna fuss over if I tell him you didn’t feed me this morning.” He chuckles as his mother gives him a playful smack as he finished drinking. And a moment later he bids his mother goodbye and heads off to Hoseok’s place to where he sees the senior just getting out of his own home carrying a huge bag and his helmet.

“Hyung, you need help with that?” he voices out as he gets closer to the other.

“Good morning to you too Taehyung-ah, and yes actually I need help with this.” And before Taehyung could even say anything, the helmet was being put on his head, since it was a bit loose, it skewed a little covering his eyes, and Hoseok laughs at the sight.

They arrive in school and Taehyung heads off to the field while Hoseok heads to the locker rooms to change clothes. With Taehyung still carrying Hoseok’s helmet he met Seokjin and Jungkook along the way and they find a spot to sit.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Jimin sent him a message that he’d bring a lot of snacks in exchange for saving a seat for him and Yoongi and he immediately responds as he munches on the food Seokjin had bought for them sometime earlier when people started showing up with a smile on his face.

_

It was already time for the game to start and the place is crowded now, but Jimin and Yoongi is still nowhere to be found and Jungkook was now assigned to save their seats. While Taehyung looks after Seokjins’ and the remaining snacks.

Taehyung sees Hoseok approaching their direction by the time Seokjin came back and he racks his brain on what Hoseok might need with them.

“Tae, I forgot my helmet with you right?” Hoseok calls out to him and he snaps out of it when he realized that Hoseok’s voice was loud enough for anyone within the area to hear because he was up in the bleachers. So he clambers up and gives the helmet back to the owner. Hoseok thanks him and runs back to where his team is huddled together. And when he gets back to his seat he fights the urge to curl in embarrassment and keep a straight face when he feels eyes on him because of the little interaction.

The game starts just as Yoongi and Jimin arrive. Jungkook then dives in the opportunity to sit between Jimin and Taehyung and couldn’t help but smile back as Jimin greets him as they chat away. Halfway through the game Seokjin was gone from his seat, opting to get closer in case someone needs help, or he was just worked up when Namjoon got shoved a little too roughly earlier. Taehyung was cheering non-stop and also Jungkook couldn’t help but notice Jimin and Yoongi’s interaction from time to time. The last time he saw them they were a bit awkward around each other.

Taehyung skids through the sea of people as he speeds up his pace to get to the direction where the ambulance is. His heart hammering in his chest when he gets closer to the vehicle and he sees Seokjin’s back, a stretcher is being carried inside the vehicle and speeds off even before he gets there.

“Hyung, how’s Hobi-hyung, is he going to be okay?” he takes a few bated breaths as he stops beside Seokjin, using the elder’s shoulder to balance himself.

“I didn’t get much of a good look on him Tae, but from what I heard from the medics, it’s nothing serious. Let’s just hope they’re right, go wait for me in the car. I’ll be there with Namjoon.” Seokjin instructs as he points to the direction to where his car is parked as he veers off to the direction to where Namjoon is. They also part with Yoongi since his bike is parked somewhere else and the rest proceeds to Seokjin’s car.

As soon as they step in the hospital, Seokjin and Namjoon makes a beeline to the nurse’s counter and ask for Hoseok, but unfortunately only a guardian can see him at the moment but they were given information that Hoseok is still being treated.

Minutes later Hoseok’s mother arrives and Seokjin got to her in when the nurse confirmed that he is a Med student in training in the hospital but is in the meantime assisting in school.

Taehyung haven’t even moved in his seat when the two disappeared in the halls replaying in his mind as to what happened earlier. The moment Hoseok ‘accidentally’ tripped when an opponent ran into him that the referee didn’t really even paid much attention and even gave a warning to Hoseok’s team when the coach tried to defend him.

“Hey, everything’s going to be fine. Hoseok-hyung’s going to be okay.” Jimin says right beside him and Taehyung looks up, Namjoon and Yoongi are talking amongst themselves and Jungkook is nowhere to be found.

“Where’s Kookie?”

“He volunteered to get us all something to drink, he just went off a minute ago.” Jimin explains as they both relax in their chairs. Taehyung nods in acknowledgement, just as he was about to say something Seokjin suddenly appeared informing them that it was okay to see Hoseok now. Jimin offered to stay and wait for Jungkook and they’d catch up as soon as he returns, Seokjin gives him the floor and room number so they’ll know where to go.

Seokjin explained on the way that Hoseok is still groggy on medication but his mother allowed them a quick visit just to assure them that all he is doing alright.

They enter the room and Hoseok is talking with the nurse. They saw his mother earlier talking on her phone at the end of the hall but she signalled them that it was fine to go inside.

Jungkook and Jimin caught up with them and they chat some more, entertaining Hoseok since he’s still a bit high on his medicine, though he talked about his injury and fortunately it was just a heavy case of ankle sprains and strains, something he could recover from in a period of time and since graduation a few months away, he has all the time to heal and they won, so Hoseok is happy and they’re all happy.

Unfortunately their time was already up and Hoseok has to rest so they say their goodbyes and get home, Jin and Jungkook would take Namjoon home and Yoongi would take Jimin. And before Jin could even offer Taehyung a ride, Hoseok’s mother excuses them both to talk to Taehyung in private.

“Sweetie, I know this is a lot to ask but can I ask you a favour to watch over Hoseok for a while, I need to take some things he’ll need here for his stay and I would ask my husband for it but it would take him forever to do the job and he’s still stuck at work. I promise I’ll be right back as soon as I can and I’d tell my husband to drive straight here so that he could take you home. I already called your mom so that she doesn’t have to worry.” She adds as she holds onto both of his hands, silently pleading that he’d say yes, but who would he be to refuse anyway.

“Its fine auntie, I’ll just go tell Jin-hyung then I’ll be right back.” He grasp her hand gently and he lets go and catches up with the others.

-

As soon as Mrs. Jung had left the room it was quite and Taehyung didn’t have the heart to play with his phone, of course he called his mother as well and she sends her regards to Hoseok before they end the call.

He just returned from the men’s room when he saw that Hoseok had awaken. He closes the door and enters the room without a word and sits on a chair not too far from the bed.

“Auntie said she needed to get back home to take care of some things, she asked if I could stay a little bit to watch over you until she or uncle gets here.” He breaks the silence when Hoseok didn’t say anything.

“Thanks, sorry about this though. You should be at home resting right now.”

“Nah, don’t say that hyung, I’d be glad to help anyway I can. Besides were neighbours, we help each other.” He appeases his hyung and chances a glance to which he avoids when Hoseok meets it, opting to watch the window, it’s already dark outside.

“Still, thank you again. When I get better I’m going to treat you lunch as payback. So take your time and choose whatever you want alright?” Hoseok counters as he leans back on his pillows, seeing his struggle to get settled, Taehyung stood up and helped him fix the pillows as he slowly rests on them. Hoseok looks up at him and smiles in thanks as he closes his eyes and Taehyung returns it a bit meekly as he stands back a little.

When Hoseok got settled on his back and Taehyung gets caught up in the moment and lands his gaze on the bandage on Hoseok’s face. Not knowing that his hand was moving on its own only to take it back when the door suddenly opens and Mr. Jung was striding towards them. The man profusely apologizing to his son for not getting there much sooner and turning towards Taehyung to thank him for watching over his son.

-

Yoongi was driving his bike a little slower that day, and Jimin supposes it was understandable that he was being extra careful, even with the helmet, thoroughly making sure that it’s snugged in Jimin’s head securely. And from time to time Yoongi would gently tug on his arm to make sure it was around his waist. Jimin could only smile as his heart flutter a little bit from the gesture.

They make plans to visit Hoseok after school tomorrow as Yoongi drops him home as he held his hand until they bid their goodbyes and Yoongi has to drive off.

Taehyung eats his breakfast solemnly and his parents promised to visit Hoseok during the day and that they give him permission to visit him after class, which earns them a smile and thanks. At least he’d cheered up a little as he takes the bus to school, he couldn’t even be bothered to check when he feels someone watching over him on the bus.

Classes resumed as usual, Jimin tried to cheer him up even Yoongi and Namjoon too. He was grateful for it and of course it was working, he knows he’s not the only one sad about the incident and pretty sure Yoongi and Namjoon were much more upset, after all they are Hoseok’s best friends.

They visit Hoseok after classes and he tells them that he has to stay in the hospital for another three days. Yoongi and Namjoon promised to come by after so that Hoseok could catch up in class. Hoseok showed them the stuff Taehyung’s mother bought during her visit, and they all share the fruit basket that she brought as well until it was time to leave and Seokjin came and pick Namjoon and Taehyung up. They say their goodbyes and all is well that day.

-

“I can still drop you off before I go to the hospital” Yoongi tries to reason as he fixes his gaze on their entwined hands. Jimin smiles and tries to meet his gaze.

“It’s fine hyung, I still know how to ride the bus. And besides it’ll save you a lot of trouble.” He smiles, Yoongi can be quite cute too when he wants to be. So he takes both of his hands and grasps them gently, Yoongi stands up straight from being slouched in the bike and meets Jimin’s gaze, fighting the urge to smile.

“We’d still see each other during lunch hyung… and… are you always this cute?” he cringes at his own words but the hint of blush and the gummy smile that’s shown on Yoongi’s face was all worth it. The butterflies in his stomach flutters at the sight making him grasp their hands a little tightly.

He returns the smile and he breaks the contact, keeping his head down in embarrassment. As though sensing this, Yoongi then bids his goodbyes and Jimin makes eye contact again before Yoongi wears his helmet and drives off. Jimin blushes on the way to his room, not even looking at his mom when she greets him at the door.

-

It’s the third day today and Taehyung received a text from Hoseok earlier that he’ll be discharged in the afternoon.

He happily informs his parents as well and as they enjoy breakfast as his mother informs him as well that she and Hoseok’s mother were planning for a Homecoming party, and with that he happily bids them goodbye. He boards the bus and checks his phone when it vibrates in his pocket as he takes a spot on a vacant seat.

From: Hoseok-hyung

I overheard Mom talking to Auntie over the phone, about a Homecoming party. Yay!!!...

He smiles down at the device. Then a thought passes through and he quickly responds.

To: Hoseok-hyung

Eavesdropping is bad hyung. It was supposed to be a surprise.

From: Hoseok-hyung

Don’t worry my dear dongsaeng, I’m sure I’d still be surprised. You know how I am with people sneaking up on me.

To: Hoseok-hyung

Haha…of course

Got to go hyung, I have to run to class. See yah later.

From: Hoseok-hyung

Yeah, see yah.

Taehyung then bounds off the bus with a smile. It certainly was a good day, even though he’s running out of breath sprinting towards his locker. He opens it when suddenly an envelope flops down with his name written on it.

Feeling a sense of déjà vu he picks up the envelope and also took the things he needed for his morning class in a haste, and starts running to his classroom. Fortunately arriving just in time as the teacher did, who gave him a look but was disregarded nonetheless and started class.

_

“I don’t know Jimin, maybe it really is just a confession letter. And it doesn’t have a name on it and the sender didn’t really ask for us to meet. It’s sealed unlike the first one.” He explains as he starts eating his lunch, the still unopened letter was now in Namjoon’s hands.

“Another tactic maybe, we won’t know for sure, maybe that person wants you to ask to meet up. Then it goes downhill from there. Just stick the envelope out as it is.” Jimin looks around sceptically, looking for suspects on who might have sent the letter. Yoongi who was staring at him for a while was starting to find it funny, but still cute.

“You’re making me dizzy, eat your lunch before Taehyung starts attacking your food. He’s almost finished with his lunch.” He pokes at Jimin’s arms. And when he got Jimin’s attention, the latter smiles timidly and calms down as he turns to his food only to slap away Taehyung’s hand who was trying to reach for it.

“Well, I say, keep the letter and give it a week. If this person sends more and still not introduce themselves then you can ask to meet up with them. You never know what could happen in a week. Maybe you’d start liking the letters, or if you have anyone you like already then you can just turn them down now. Worst thing you could do is hurt this person by giving them false hopes.” Namjoon hands the letter back to Taehyung, and the latter ponders at what the senior had just said, and glances up to Jimin who was already staring at him cautiously.

“So, do you have someone you like Taehyung?” Min Yoongi’s voice breaks him off his trance and instantly his face warms up when a certain someone pops out of his mind.

He straightens up quickly and quips back “Jiminie, want to ditch Yoongi-hyung and go shopping with me? I’ll buy you ice cream.” He tries to hide his smile when Yoongi’s face suddenly changes and is looking to and from him to Jimin.

The latter smiles cunningly at his best friend. “I love Ice cream, of course I’d go with you Taetae” and they high fived and when he looks back at Yoongi, he was pouting. Causing his smile to falter a little.

“Hyung, stop pouting, you know Jiminie only has eyes for you…right Jiminie?” Taehyung now turns to his best friend teasingly, to which Jimin just shyly ducks his head, and judging by the way Taehyung started wincing, the former might have had stomped his feet under the table.

“Right, speaking of, we should probably head to the mall, I told auntie me and Seokjin would buy the cake for Hoseok’s party. The rest of you could look around for last minute gifts, if you don’t have one ready. Is that good?” Namjoon claps his hands to stop the upcoming fight and the rest agreed. Then they finished their food and head to their class, with Taehyung exaggeratedly limping and Jimin helping him. Making Yoongi glare at the former all the way as they turn at the end of the hallway.

_

“Speaking of confessions, you and Yoongi-hyung, did you make it official already? You’re hanging out for like how many weeks now.” Taehyung murmurs as they settle on their chairs.

“Yeah, about that,” Jimin brings a hands to scratch his nape, then brings it down again to fiddle with his other hand. “I was planning on giving him an answer today, after Hoseok-hyung’s party.” He adds, a little bit rushed but Taehyung understood the most of it and he smiles wide as he gathers his friend for a hug. “Aaaawwwweee…that’s so cute, I wish I’d be there too, I’d have to record Yoongi’s reaction on video.” He sways them both side by side, causing Jimin to chuckle but hugs him back. Their classmates having mixed reactions in their skinship, some boys sneered but then were hushed by angry girls that were cooing at the scene.

“It’s about time, my my my, how my Jiminie has grown up.” They break the hug but Taehyung’s hand remains in Jimin’s head, patting it until Jimin nudges it away when the teacher arrives and the class starts.

_

Just like the time when they had a sleep over in Jin’s apartment, Jungkook went to ride with Yoongi. This time enjoying the ride since they were a bit far away because they had to stop by the mall. Though Jungkook was a bit disappointed he didn’t get to sit with Jimin in the car. But it was cool riding with Yoongi and his motorbike, because this time he let him wear his helmet.

_

They arrive in Hoseok’s house while Taehyung’s parents were still finishing up the preparations. Any minute now and Hoseok and his parents would be home. Taehyung is excited, though he felt bad with the party popper he was carrying, he suggested to buy the smaller ones since it wouldn’t be loud as much, to which Yoongi wanted to retaliate, but Taehyung just pushed Jimin his way and Yoongi was as quite as can be.

_

“SURPRISE!!!!” And as expected Hoseok jumped in surprise as they pop out from every direction, and also because of the party poppers. They all laugh at his animated reaction and after welcoming him back home, they start with dinner.

Hoseok could walk around with the crutches on his own, Seokjin and Taehyung volunteered helping cleaning up after dinner and preparing for dessert, but the two ladies only accepted Seokjin’s help and they push Taehyung back to the living room where the rest started setting up Hoseok’s video games.

Taehyung couldn’t brush off the feeling that he was being watched after Yoongi’s question at lunch, that was why he avoided interacting with Hoseok that much, getting paranoid with the idea that maybe Yoongi might find out something. Seokjin already had his suspicions, he’s sure that his cousin won’t really say anything. But what if he so much as look at Hoseok’s direction and Yoongi would find out how obvious his feelings are. Seokjin and Jimin were enough.

_

The party ends when they notice Hoseok was getting tired, though he denies it but his eyes were getting droopy. Taehyung’s parents already left after they had dessert because his dad had too much to drink, while Hoseok’s dad was out like a light, so he had to retire for the night.

So while saying their goodbyes, with Taehyung giving the quickest one he runs out of the house with Jimin in tow.

_

“So, are you nervous?” He asks as soon as they are out of earshot, they were standing beside Yoongi’s motorbike.

“Tae, with the way you’re acting, I’m sure by now Yoongi can confirm your obvious crush for Hoseok-hyung. Don’t even try changing the subject.” Jimin counters as he sighs at the look his best friend was giving him. He chuckles and pats the boy in the head as Taehyung tries to relax, Yoongi and the others were still bidding their goodbyes.

“I know, I just…I couldn’t stop thinking about what Yoongi-hyung said. Now I’m just becoming more aware of what I feel. What if Yoongi-hyung starts asking again?” He sighs in defeat as he leans on the motorbike, finding balance and Jimin takes note of the utter fear in his best friends’ face.

“Don’t worry Tae, I’ll tell Yoongi-hyung, to lay it off.” And Taehyung offers him a smile, a grateful one, and he returns it with a reassuring one. He turns back and he sees Jin, Namjoon and Jungkook who was staring at him as he waves at them goodbye, he looked kind of sad as he enters the car with the duo.

“Why did you guys ran off?” They hear Yoongi as he gets closer, Jimin turns back and wonders how Min Yoongi could look so cool, with his bag hanging on his shoulder while playing with the keys on his fingers as he walks.

“We had matters to discuss hyung, but I won’t keep you though, you two should get going now.” At this, Taehyung is slowly backing away. ”It’s getting really late and you have to take Jimin home, so…be on your way lovebirds and be careful on the road, okay?” Then he was running off to his own home.

Yoongi shrugs it off with a snort as he finds the scene amusing as he wears his helmet and putting his keys on the ignition, not noticing that Taehyung had turn back to cheer his best friend on with a ‘fighting’ before disappearing behind the gate. Making Jimin smile in amusement, he’s gonna need it.

Yoongi turns to him and he was cut off his trance when he felt the helmet being put on his head, strapping his securely and he stares straight on Yoongi’s eyes which was the only thing he sees since the latter was already wearing his helmet too. He hears a muffled ‘Ready?’ and he nods, then Yoongi mounts his bike, revving in up and he follows suit. He holds onto Yoongi’s waist tight and they drive off.

Taehyung reaches his room and quickly he gets ready for bed, he pushes the thought of what had transpired the entire day and when he finishes and in his pyjamas he rummages to his bag, he plugs his phone on the charger and leaves it there and continues his task, he organizes his stuff when he sees the pink envelope. He ponders for a second whether to open it or not when his phone vibrates, he lets the paper go and crawls toward the phone and rests his back on the headboard. There was a message from Hoseok.

From: Hoseok-hyung

You took off so fast, did something happen?

He stares at the message for far too long, when a message pops up again.

From: Hoseok-hyung

I can still see the light in your room Tae, you just got there didn’t you?

To: Hoseok-hyung

I was about to go to sleep hyung, and yeah, sorry I didn’t get to say goodbye properly, I just had to get through something with Jimin.

From: Hoseok-hyung

Ooooh…can I be in on the secret too?

To: Hoseok-hyung

Haha…you wish, I’m sorry but it’s confidential, you’ll just have to find out when you get back to school.

From: Hoseok-hyung

Awwee… No fair, hmmm…if you don’t want to share, then come over after class.

He ponders for a second and then types in a reply.

To: Hoseok-hyung

No can do hyung, I still have to finish the projects that is due next week that I had clearly forgot to do because I procrastinate a lot, and because someone just had to get hospitalized and made us all worried.

His heart hammered in his chest when he accidentally typed ‘I’ and quickly changing it before hitting send.

From: Hoseok-hyung

Awwwe…did you really worry about me a lot? Well, if that’s the case, you should totally come over tomorrow. I’ll help you with everything that I can, two is better than one after all. Then I don’t have to be all by myself.

His face warms up as he reads the text but quickly shakes his head in dismissal as he tries and compose himself.

To: Hoseok-hyung

Yeah yeah…I just hope you’d be tons of help, cuz I really need it. And would you mind if I run a bit late, I still have to do something after class and I don’t know how long it would take.

From: Hoseok-hyung

Of course, come over whenever. Then come right up ahead to my room, don’t let mom keep you for long too. :D

To: Hoseok-hyung

Depends, if she offers me food, I might just stay in the kitchen and forget all about you, hahaha…

From: Hoseok-hyung

Okay, and I might just jump right down the stairs, how could you. You’re supposed to say, ‘I’ll bring you some snacks too hyung’.

‘That’s exactly what I would do’ Taehyung thinks to himself and hits his head with his fist.

To: Hoseok-hyung

Meh… Food is more important to me now, and don’t go around jumping on stairs hyung, or do you want to be wheeled on the stage when you graduate? :P

From: Hoseok-hyung

Hahaha…please no, I don’t want that at all. Just please promise me you’d hang out with me tomorrow?

To: Hoseok-hyung

I promise, so… see you tomorrow okay? Go to sleep hyung.

He lies on his back completely on the bed after he turns the lights off, he keeps his gaze in the completely dark ceiling when he’s phone vibrates one more time.

From: Hoseok

Yeah, good night to you too Tae. :D

And even as he tries to sleep it off, the felling in his chest doesn’t go unnoticed as he focuses on drifting off to sleep.

_

Jimin’s train of thought was interrupted when the bike halts and they finally arrived in his home. Quickly he gets off the bike and clumsily removes the helmet. He turns to Yoongi and was surprised when the other was already looking at him, his own helmet in his hand. His smile making Jimin more nervous and thinks of backing out on what he’s about to do.

“Something on your mind Jimin?” he asks as he makes his way to Jimin. Reaching out for his hand and in his panic he’d assumed the senior was trying to take the helmet, so he it in his chest in surprise.

“I.. I.. uhm…” and he was cut off when Yoongi took and helmet out of the way, putting it beside his own on the seat of the bike and turning back again to Jimin.

“Is there something wrong Jimin?” Yoongi’s eyes were full of concern and he doesn’t know why until he hears what he has to say next. “You look kind of pale, do you want to go inside?” And of course, that’s why. But if they go inside right now, then he’d just cave in again and change his mind, and he doesn’t really want that to happen.

“T-there’s nothing wrong hyung” He breathes out as he tries to relax his nerves. He takes a deep breath again and composes himself. He looks right in Yoongi’s eyes and takes a step closer and raises a shaky hand that Yoongi meets halfway.

“Then what’s got you so shaken up?” and he warms up in the tone of Yoongi’s voice, and the soothing motion of his thumb on his hand was doing a great job on calming his nerves.

“Well, you remember when you said, I’d only ever answer your question when I’m really ready?” He looks up from where he was looking in their entwined hands and was surprised the second time when he sees that Yoongi’s eyes were as surprised as he was.

“I’m ready hyung, that is, if you still want to… be… with me?” He continues apprehensively.

And slowly Yoongi’s face is turning red, which the latter notices and was retracting his hand that was holding Jimin and uses it to cover his face, he was saying something that Jimin couldn’t quite understand.

“Hyung, are you okay? Did I say something wrong?” Yoongi now has his back facing him and now he’s more nervous on what is going to happen next.

“Jimin?” He jolts up in surprise as he hears Yoongi, but the latter still has his back turned.

“Yeah, hyung?” Then the senior finally turns and there is a hint of smile in his face that Jimin returns.

“Can I… can I hug you?” he inquires, and after a moment Jimin’s moves in a nod, and he raised his hands, shyly as Yoongi meets it halfway once again. And slowly the latter wraps his arms around Jimin, and his grip tightens just right that Jimin mirrors his actions and they stay like that for a few moments. Then he hears Yoongi whisper next to his ear. “Thank you Jimin-ah”. And suddenly it makes it hard to breath but he doesn’t let go and just tightens his hold on Yoongi.

“For w-what hyung?” He hushed a whisper in the others’ as they slowly let go, but not before linking both of their hands as they stare at each other eye to eye. Then Yoongi speaks up, breaking the moment in just the right time. “Thank you, for accepting me. For taking the time to know me, for- for liking someone like me.” And for whatever reason Yoongi felt like someone was gripping his insides, to run around and jump in joy just to get rid of the feeling.

And for a moment Jimin doesn’t say anything, just stares back at him, and then he smiles and this time he gets pulled into a hug and then a warm air wafts in his ear. “Then, I should thank you as well hyung. Thank you for accepting my feelings and for also reciprocating them, for also taking the time to know me too, even though you have numerous fans and admirers, you chose me.” And then he breaks off the hug and he looks on the ground like it’s the most interesting thing in the world.

“Hey, look at me” then Yoongi tilts his head up and Jimin could feel the warmth creeping up from his chest to his face when he realized how close their proximity was. “And why shouldn’t I choose you? And if I do have admirers as you say, many did try confessing but it never made me feel the way it did with you.” And he returns the smile Yoongi offers him and it feels like he could finally breathe again.

They stay like that for a few seconds, and Jimin wonders what would happen if he leans in- and then the moment was broken when they hear the gate open in Jimin’s home, they part as soon as they see Jimin’s father.

“Oh Jimin, your home. Hey, Yoongi.” Mr. Park meets them both and both of them were beet red from embarrassment. But Yoongi hand was still linked to Jimin’s. “Don’t mind me boys, I’m just here, taking out the trash.” And to prove his point he shows them the two black bags in his hands and strides towards the trash bins.

“Well, this is my cue, I should get going Jimin. See you tomorrow?” He turns to the latter. Jimin nods and let’s go of his hand. “Good evening Mr. Park” he bows to the man as he retreats to his bike after the man acknowledges him and with one last wave he drives off as the Park’s enter their home.

it got fast forwarded a bit....

if you're confused after reading this chapter, don't worry... I am too.

I'm sorry.

the only reason I couldn't have updated this story for a long time is because I'm trash of a human being.

I hope you still like it, I don't know what happened at all...

I'm just...sorry.
