[Important notice] The 1 and 2 refers to some pic that I found on the internet and that I edited by myself. When you'll read the story, you'll understand ;) Just scroll after the author note and you will be able to see what I'm talking about. I'm unclear in my words but I want you to enjoy the chapter, that's why ! :) And of course, there will be my fangirling moment over a picture or a gif just under as usual :D

Namjoon was late. Jimin hoped that Jin didn’t killed his friend last night. He felt a warm hand on his shoulder and turned his back. It was Taehyung. He seemed quite tired, Jimin could feel it behind his habitual smile.

“Why didn’t you answer my call? Where you that mad against me?” Taehyung sat down near him and answered him.

“Not really… Maybe a little.”

Taehyung couldn’t say the truth. When he went working after the diner with them, he got into a fight with some customer. He was trying to separate them and his smartphone got broken. He saw later that some bruises were left on his body. Fortunately, there were not visible. For hiding the proof, he bought the same smartphone and add some mark on it for looking used.

“I was worried about you, Tae….

-I’m sorry, I will not do it again. Now, smile I’m here with you.” Jimin gave a warm smile to Taehyung; which made flustered Taehyung’s heart. It’s been a long time that he was feeling something for Jimin. But he wanted to confirm his feelings and today, at this moment, he was sure. Taehyung had fallen in love with Jimin.

The morning course was finished, but Namjoon was still absent. Taehyung was becoming worried and asked Jimin about it.

“Wasn’t Namjoonie supposed to come today?

-Yes, but maybe he oversleeps and WAIT! Did you call him Namjoonie?

-Yes, it’s cute… like him.

-What’s mine? Do have I one?

-Hm… It’s a secret!”

Jimin pouted and Taehyung laughed. He proposed him to eat at his apartment. Jimin was surprised but still accepted it. They walk for twenty minutes and stop in front of a modern building. Jimin was amazed by this; it was splendorous compared to his room.

“Wow, I don’t know what part-time job you do, but I’m jealous. Do you think that they scouted people?” Taehyung lost his smile for a second and quickly answered, trying to avoid the subject.

“No! They…. don’t recruit anymore.” He was nervous but Jimin didn’t mind it; he simply answered with a disappointed tone.

“Oh, ok... That’s too bad for me.”

They entered his apartment and Jimin was amazed by the picture on the wall. A flower, a butterfly, and happy children with a lady.

A wave of pink flower which end in the emptiness1. The sky was cloudy and a little melancholic. They contrasted with two feelings: the joyfulness and the gloominess. Jimin found it a little troubling. ‘Taehyung with his bright personality, love this kind of picture?’

A butterfly was resting on a green leave2. It was a close-up on him, so we couldn’t see if he was alone or with some other butterfly. We could feel a sense of loneliness through the picture. Jimin recall his moment in Busan when he was in the same situation. He couldn’t know if people surrounded him or if he was by himself. It made him a lot on reflecting on himself for a few moments.

Jimin came near the last picture to examine each feature. He was fascinated by this one. It was an old picture with some scratches on it. They were a little boy playing with an older woman. They look like mother and son. They shared the same smile and joy. Behind was a green park with some wind according to the tilted red flower and hair on the woman face. At the bottom of the picture was a little girl running to them. She had her arm lifted in the air and was brightly smiling. She looked like the boy and the woman. A picture representing a joyful family.

“Do you like it?

-Yes, it’s fascinating! Who took the picture?

-My dad. I bought the two other one though. I liked the feeling that they gave.”

Taehyung went to the kitchen and started cooking. Jimin joined him and saw that he was making a plate with meat and noodle. Taehyung was humming a popular song and making some dance step, which made laughed Jimin. He loved seeing him in a good mood.

The meal ready, he put the plate on the table and start digging.

“So?” Taehyung was nervous. He had never cooked for someone, except his sister and his dad. Jimin answered with a cheesy sentence like he always does when he appreciates someone “It’s as perfect and lovable as you”. That’s it, Taehyung became red of embarrassment and wanted to hide his face in Jimin’s neck. Except that he still didn’t confessed his feeling so he needed to control himself. Plus, he didn’t want to seem like a ert or someone more odd than people already thought.

Someone ringed at the door. “Ah! It’s him!” shouted Taehyung. Jimin was kind of timid and only noticed now the third plate waiting on the edge of the table. He became nervous and bowed at the person, before even seeing him.

“What are you doing Jimin?” A familiar voice. Jimin lifted his head and recognize his best friend who had an amused glance.

“Namjoon?!?”

They sat around the table and even if Namjoon already started digging, Jimin spoke.

“Namjoon, what are you doing here? And why were you not here this morning?
