"Hyung, I think I love him."

Hobi turned to Jimin with raised eyebrows, looking completely unsurprised by the abrupt statement as the distressed boy stared up at him through worried, sparkling eyes, his lips painted in a deep frown.

He ran his fingers through Jimin's bangs, tucking them behind his ears, and booping his nose playfully.

"No shit Sherlock," He teased, and Jimin pouted at him, huffing indignantly. "We all knew that. The sexual tension between you two is ridiculous. I'm surprised Yoongi has this much self restraint. He stares at you like you're a full course meal he can't wait to sink his teeth into and-"

"Okay, okay," Jimin whined, hiding his dark blush behind his palms and rolling away, heat creeping up his neck as Hobi laughed at his flustered state. He stuck his bottom lip out, frowning slightly and turning his hands nervously over each other. "You..." He mumbled quietly, turning cherry red. "You really think he likes me?"

Hobi looked at him incredulously, warm eyes completely and utterly disbelieving.

"You're serious?" He cried out, and Jimin nodded sheepishly, ducking his head in embarrassment.

Hobi sighed, scoffing slightly at the boy's obliviousness before tilting his chin up to meet his solemn gaze.

"Jimin-ah," He started, still uncomprehending as to how one person could be so blind. "Yoongi has been in love with you for months."

Jimin gasped so sharply he almost choked on his breath, lips parting in pure shock.

"M-months?"

"Months! And he's had feelings for you since you guys met," He continued, glancing towards the door to make sure the pale man wasn't eavesdropping before going on. "The only reason he hasn't made a move yet is because he wanted to give you as much time as possible to heal. He didn't want you to feel pressured, he wanted you to trust him as a friend before anything else. And if you never felt the same as he did, that was fine with him. As long as you were happy. He just wants you to be loved Jimin. Truly loved. Nothing like what you had with Seo-Jun. And if the person who showed that to you wasn't him, it was okay. As long as he could always be apart of your life. If you love him, don't hesitate to tell him. If you're ready for a relationship, ready to put that trust in someone again, please, do so. Please let Yoongi treat you like you deserve to be treated. Let him show you what real love is."

And Jimin...

Jimin smiled.

He squeezed Hobi's warm hands in his own, and wrapped his arms around his shoulders, nuzzling into the crook of his neck, and grinning as he chuckled against his hair.

"Thank you Hobi hyung."

"Any time Jimin."
