"Namjoon are you sure you're okay?" Jimin asked.
Namjoon looked up from his turtle tank and nodded. "Yes. I'm okay. I'm sad at the circumstances but I will survive."
"Will you really? I've never seen you so quiet. It's creepy." Taehyung added.
Namjoon groaned, throwing himself on the carpet. He kicked his feet and hands like he was throwing a tantrum except he wasn't screaming or making much noise at all.
Jimin and Taehyung looked at each other slightly confused. After a few seconds, Namjoon recomposed himself and sat on the couch.
"Would you guys like some tea? I have flavored water or La Croix."
"Eww. Who the fuck drinks La Croix?" Taehyung said a bit disgusted.
"If you recall I'm trying to quit soda so that's a healthier way I can get that bubbly burn down my throat."
"That's right. Maybe you do need a soda." Jimin commented, still very concerned.
"I'm fine guys. I am heartbroken but I will get over it." He calmly responded.
"Wow. I wish that would've been me after my breakup." Taehyung said.
"It's all about self control. Yoga helps and it keeps you occupied."
"That didn't help me." Taehyung added.
"Well your cases are different. Namjoon didn't really date Hoseok and they've only known each other for a few months. Not trying to take away from the fact that you're heartbroken Namjoon, but in Taehyung's case he dated her for almost ten years. That's a long time."
"I agree to an extent. I really like Hoseok and no measure of time will change that. From the moment I laid eyes on him I was deeply into him."
"That fast huh?" Jimin asked. He could relate because that's how he felt about Chanyeol. Seeing him for the first time had struck him in a way he couldn't explain.
"Yeah."
"What about you Taehyung?"
"Huh?"
"With your ex did you fall for her instantly?"
Taehyung remained quiet for a second, "I don't think so. I remember being starstruck and deeply infatuated, but I didn't love her until we started dating."
Namjoon and Jimin looked at each other briefly. Regretting bringing the topic up. After the breakup, Taehyung had been depressed for a long time.
They didn't think he would ever recover until one day he stopped crying and grieving. A part of them still believed he had feelings for her. Bringing her up might've not been the smartest choice.
"It's okay to talk about her, you know? I think I've healed enough to speak about her without feeling like I'm throwing up my insides."
"That's good to know. You also seem to be moving on and getting close to the hot nurse huh?" Jimin teased, wiggling his eyebrows.
Namjoon inhaled sharply. He suddenly started thinking of the fact that Hoseok liked the sexy nurse too. He had been extremely disappointed with it, but what could he do?
He couldn't force Hoseok to feel the same. He didn't want to lose him either so if being his friend was all he could do he would do just that.
"I'm sorry." Taehyung noticed the slight discomfort on Namjoon's face.
"For what?"
"Well, because Hoseok likes Jungkook and you know Jungkook and I...we're friends."
"Friends that kiss and touch each other?" Jimin snickered.
"Okay, what about you huh? I thought it was all fake but taking Yoongi to see the stars on the rooftop and laying on a blanket is not very friendly."
Jimin's mouth parted very flustered, "What? This isn't about me."
"Yeah you're getting suspiciously close to him." Namjoon commented while squinting his eyes.
"That's not true! We're just friends. We are temporarily dating."
Namjoon and Taehyung exchanged looks only flustering Jimin more. Was this what Yoongi thought too?
"I'm just saying what you're doing can be interpreted differently to him. He's a good guy, very stubborn but has a big heart. He's not used to being out and about so to him this is legit his first relationship. Even if it's fake it might not feel like it to him. Not to mention with a fragile heart like his I don't think it's right for you to do all these things with him." Taehyung said.
The guilt Jimin felt come over him was asphyxiating. He didn't want to hurt Yoongi's feelings or play with his emotions.
Whenever he played around with Yoongi and made flirty comments he assumed Yoongi knew he was joking. However, hearing his two best friends telling him this took a toll on him.
Of course he thought Yoongi was handsome, but recently he had discovered that not only was he pretty but he was kind, loving, and he enjoyed his company to capacities he couldn't comprehend.
Being with Yoongi was peaceful. It was a break from his school stress or his job. Min Yoongi was like a warm cup of coffee on a cold day.
Soothing and comforting.
"I am not trying to hurt him. He's my friend and I like him a lot. I am simply trying to fulfill his dreams as much as possible."
"You can do all that without the flirty comments or the unnecessary touching."
"Yeah, I mean if I was in his situation and let's say Jin was helping me fulfill some dream I would get mixed signals too. Though I don't like Jin, if he suddenly started flirting or touching me too much I wouldn't be able to not fall for him. It's human nature."
Jimin felt his face turn slightly pink. Questioning his choices up until now. Was this friendship even healthy for Yoongi?
All those times he playfully held his waist, or teased about his virginity crossed his mind. The guilt was insufferable.
"What should I do? I don't want to hurt his feelings or make him think I like him."
"I think you know what you should do." Taehyung said.
Jimin sighed, laying his head back. Indeed he did know, but why didn't he want to?
•••
"Boo-hoo you have two hot guys that are in love with you. What a sad life you have." Yoongi said through the FaceTime call.
Hoseok rolled his eyes, "Are you kidding me? This is a serious matter Yoongi. I feel terrible."
"Okay, okay, sorry. You have to admit complaining about two sexy guys wanting to fuck you is not exactly something I'm used to. Not a single person wants to fuck me Hoseok so forgive me if I'm a little unaware of what's that like."
Hoseok groaned, "It's not simple. I didn't mean to break their hearts. You should've seen Jin. He was so heartbroken. He stopped by the other day, but he wouldn't even look me in the eye."
Yoongi remained silent, unsure of what to say. He was stuck in an awkward position considering that he was friends with the both of them.
"Is he okay? How sad is he?" Hoseok asked.
To tell him that Jin was emotionally destroyed would only make Hoseok's guilt more profound. Not to mention Jin had strictly prohibited him from talking about it.
"He's okay. He's sad, but he will get over it. If it makes you feel better I really do think you did the right thing by not leading him on."
"Thanks. I know I did but it doesn't make me feel better." He admitted looking down.
"So the sexy tattooed nurse huh?" Yoongi asked, trying to lighten up the mood a bit.
"Oh yeah." He nervously replied.
"I could've sworn it was Jin. I mean you said he had a cute laugh and broad shoulders."
"Jin does have a cute laugh and broad shoulders but so does Jungkook." He whispered with a pink tint across his face.
It was the first time that Yoongi had seen Hoseok so flustered. It was honestly pretty cute. You could tell he really liked his nurse.
"Yeah he does. Imagine him throwing you against the wall. I bet he could lift a mother fucker easily. Mm."
"Ahh stop it you pervert!" He squealed, turning even redder.
Yoongi laughed, "I'm serious. He could manhandle you so well and just take you the right—"
"Yoongi."
"Fuck!" He screamed and was startled.
Hoseok's eyes widened as he picked up his phone, only showing his forehead. Chan stood behind him a little embarrassed because once again he walked in the wrong time.
"I'm so sorry. I—I wanted to tell you that your friends are here."
"Geez Chan. What happened to calling?"
"You see what happened was...I forgot."
"Well, did you...did you hear anything?" He asked, scratching the back of his head.
"Uhh..." He could manhandle you so well and just take you the right. "Nope. I didn't hear a single word."
"Perfect. Umm, you can tell them to come in."
As soon as Chan exited Hoseok put himself back on screen. "He fucking heard us. Do you think he will tell Jungkook?"
"We didn't say his name."
"Who else could we talk about?"
Yoongi smirked, "I could think of a few others that could manhandle just right."
"Yoongi, this is serious!"
"I'm serious too! We have Taehyung, Chan, Jimin, Jin although he's my friend but have you see those shoulders—"
A knock on the door interrupted their conversation once again. Hoseok quickly panicked, "Don't let Jin know about this."
"About manhandling you?"
"None of it."
"Okay, okay, by—" Hoseok hung up before he could finish.
Jeongyeon peeked inside with a bright grin while a gloomy Jin followed behind. "Bubba! How are you?"
"I'm doing good. How are you guys?"
"Well I'm doing wonderful."
"I'm fucking sad." Jin said.
Yoongi pouted as Jeongyeon wrapped her arm around him. "We're going to cheer you up. You're going to be fine. You're damn sexy and you'll get over this."
"Yeah, yeah." He said, still looking down. "Wait, has Hoseok said anything about me?" He was intrigued.
"Jin you know I can't tell you. I respect your decision and haven't told him what you've said so I can't betray him."
He groaned, "I know but can you at least tell me if he's asked about me?"
Yoongi walked towards him and patted his shoulder. "You know he has. He cares about your well-being."
"Why couldn't he like me?"
"I like you." Jeongyeon grinned playfully, nudging him.
"I like you too." Yoongi added, wiggling his eyebrows.
"Guys you know that's now what I mean."
Yoongi started poking his side trying to get him to smile until he did. He then looked at his hand and suddenly remembered the fact that Jimin and him had held hands for quite a long time under the stars.
Did that have any significance to him? He slowly reached over to hold Jin's hand wondering if he'd feel the same thing.
Jin didn't think much of it and rested his head on Jeongyeon's shoulder as she petted his head. "Thanks guys. I'm really grateful for the support."
"We're here for you no matter what." She said letting go.
"Thanks—" Jin looked down at Yoongi who was still holding his hand. He tried to pull away slowly but he didn't budge.
"No matter what. We're best friends." Yoongi said squeezing harder.
"Uhh...Yoongi why're you holding my hand?"
"What do you mean? You're my friend!"
"Yeah but...your hand is sweaty and mushy." He said wrinkling his nose.
Panic shot through Yoongi realizing that when he held Jimin's hand it was probably sweaty and mushy too.
"Does it feel super gross?" He asked, concerned.
"Yeah. Fucking disgusting."
"Okay bitch, no need to be so rude."
"Why do you care so much?" Jeongyeon asked.
"Because Jimin and I held hands the other night." He whispered, still not letting go of Jin.
"Held hands? What?" She responded with a bright teasing grin.
"Like this?" Jin asked, holding their hands up.
"Well no. It was more like this." He said intertwining their fingers.
"Woah. That's straight up hand fucking." Jin shrieked.
"Relax, it wasn't a big deal."
"Uh huh really? You guys basically made love with your hands." Jin insisted.
"Literally Yoongi. You guys hand fucked. It's a legit thing." Jeongyeon added.
"We hand fucked?" He asked, horrified.
"Uh huh." They both said in unison.
Yoongi attempted to keep his cool but he was freaking out inside. Jin finally shook his hand to release his right grip.
"Okay Yoongi your hand was seriously grossing me out."
"Huh? Oh sorry."
"I think Jimin might like you." Jeongyeon said.
"No way. Jimin's too hot to like me."
But what if he does?
"No, there's no way." He said out loud trying to drown his intrusive thoughts.
"There's a possibility. I don't see why else he would hold your hand under the moonlight."
"We just held hands and we're not dating."
"Yeah but that was weird and gross. Did you feel that with him?"
Yoongi bit the inside of his lip. He felt so much by simply holding Jimin's hand. A whirlpool of endless emotions.
"No."
"Aww. Yoongi's in love!"
"Woah. You're getting ahead of yourself."
"That just reminds me I'm single and heartbroken." Jin said with a sad face.
"I know something that could cheer us up. A party! I got promoted last week which means I got a raise."
"I thought you were quitting your job." Yoongi said confusedly.
"Yeah I was but then I got promoted so I'm not quitting anymore." She smiled.
"Well, I can't go to the party unless it's here and you know how Taehyung is."
"Don't worry. Leave that to me. Ooh this is exciting. I have to start planning!"
As his friends kept chatting about this promotion party, Yoongi got lost in his thoughts. Thoughts about no other than the pretty boy with brown eyes.
Park Jimin.
