jimin walked back home, he was tired. but still, he decided to walk, wanting to clear his mind a little. he looked around, noticing how the city was more quiet than usual. he stopped at the cross walk and looked around before crossing.

he walked across, carrying a bag full of food he cooked for yoongi. the restaurant was busy but once his shift was over he made yoongi's favourite food. he knew he would be stressed when he got home, after all his father was always pushing yoongi to his limit, and to make things worse yoongi's father didn't like jimin.

he always told yoongi that jimin was going to drag him down. that he would damage the company's reputation, after all yoongi was of high status while jimin wasn't. jimin doesn't care about status, yoongi never flaunted that. instead he was always so caring, jimin loves that about him. he always sought to help people too as well. it was the little things that jimin fell in love with.

he continued to walk for a little longer before stopping at a convenience store. he went in, he looked around the store until he found what he was looking for. he took two coconut water's and walked to the counter.

"hello, will this be all?" the guy asked jimin. jimin looked up at the guy, he looked rather young, and his face resembled a bunny. however the guy didn't look up at jimin. he didn't take his eyes off the counter.

it reminded him of what taehyung, his best friend was telling him. he mentioned meeting a guy who resembled a bunny in a store; well rather, he saw him from afar but didn't talk to him, though they did make eye contact. he wondered if this was the guy he mentioned. jimin looked at his name tag, the name read jungkook.

"yup, that'll be all." he said with a smile. jungkook nodded, not looking up at jimin. jimin heard his phone ring, he wondered if it was yoongi calling. he placed his bag down and took his phone out. he looked at the caller id wondering why taehyung was calling.

"yes taehyung?" jimin said picking up the phone. jimin looked back a jungkook, whos expression became surprised, he had a small tint of red in his cheeks. based on the way jungkook reacted to taehyung's name, jimin assumed he was the guy taehyung wouldn't  stop mentioning. at least, that's what jimin thought.

"jimin you forgot to tell me your shift ended." taehyung whined from the other line. "i wanted to go out for drink." taehyung continued complaining. jimin laughed at the way he was acting like a child.

"i'm sorry. let's go out next time." he continued giggling. "fine, but you're paying." taehyung huffed before ending the call. jimin couldnt help but to let a small laugh out. he turned back to jungkook, who was staring at him fondly. he looked more mesmerized than before and his cheeks were as red as a strawberry.

"your laugh is cute." jungkook accidentally let out. his eyes widening at the sudden realisation. he fumbled with his hands a bit before looking down. "i'm sorry, i didn't mean to weird you out." he apologised.

jimin blushed and lightly laughed. "don't be sorry." he said, smiling. "i'm jungkook." jungkook introduced himself. jimin stared at him, a bit confused. "i'm jimin." he said. "the pleasure is mine."

jungkook bit his lip, he looked nervous. he looked everywhere avoiding jimin's gaze. "c-can i get your number?" jungkook asked. jimin was slightly taken aback, why was he asking for his number.

jimin stopped and thought for the possibilities. was it because he wanted to get closer to his friend or did he want to be friends with him? he shrugged it off not thinking too much about it, assuming jungkook didn't have many friends. otherwise he wouldn't be working so late.

"sure." jimin smiled. jungkook let a sigh of relief out. they both exchanged numbers, jimin was happy he made a new friend. they continued talking for a bit longer than jimin expected. he was easy to talk to and jimin enjoyed that.

"i get out at two." jungkook replied when jimin asked how long he stayed. jimin nodded. he talked to him for a bit more. he liked jungkook, he was a nice person. after a while jungkook proceeded to scan the items and jimin paid. he bid jungkook a goodbye before walking out.

he checked his phone and read 1:02am. he noticed that yoongi hadn't sent him a single message. he frowned, yoongi was probably sleeping by now and that's why he didn't send him a message. he walked a bit more before making his way inside his home.

jimin opened the door. the first thing he notice was how the lights were on, which probably meant yoongi was awake. he called his name out but heard nothing. he took his shoes off and left them in front of the door.

he figured yoongi was fast asleep and accidentally forgot to turn the lights off. he made his way to his bedroom. his plan was to wake yoongi up so they could eat. that's what he always did. after all yoongi was the type to go to bed without eating.

he smiled, he always enjoyed seeing yoongi's messy hair and confusion state when he was getting up. he walked towards their bedroom, for some reason he felt a bit anxious. he shrugged it off.

jimin opened the door. he stopped once he saw the display in front of him. there was yoongi with hoseok under him. in shock he dropped the bag of food.

"oh, you're home rather early." yoongi said once he noticed jimin in front of him. "i guess i am, aren't i?" jimin coldly spoke. he didn't want yoongi to see him in a vulnerable state. "that sucks." yoongi spat, he licked eyes with jimin.

hoseok was shocked. he didn't say a word, not understanding the tension between them. after all, he didn't know jimin and yoongi we're together.

"hoseok, right?" jimin said, ignoring yoongi's comment. "it's nice to meet you." jimin smiled. hoseok was shocked, jimin didn't seem angry nor did he seem upset. hoseok couldn't speak up, he just nodded.

"don't worry, i'm not mad." jimin shrugged. "after all, i know it's difficult to ignore yoongi. he's like a drug." jimin explained, he leaned against the wall, crossing his legs.

jimin turned back to yoongi. yoongi wore an unreadable expression. jimin couldn't figure out whether he was upset or happy that jimin found him out. for the first time in years jimin couldn't tell what yoongi was feeling. it felt like they were strangers again. jimin felt relieved.

"you know, you're like a drug." jimin smirked, locking eyes with yoongi. "the more time i spent with you the more i wanted you. the more i felt like i was in love. yet you're toxic for me and i got lost. i always thought whether what we had was too good to be true, i always thought what we had was real, at least that's what i thought until this happened."

"jimin, it's exactly what it looks like." yoongi laughed, as he patted hoseok to move. hoseok complied, and moved away from yoongi creating space for yoongi to sit.

maybe i was expecting something else.

"im well aware. unless, there's another explanation as to why hoseok is under you?" jimin asked. "i'm afraid for inform you, there isn't." yoongi gave a sly smile. "well that's great. then i guess since you have no problem telling me the truth then you'll have no problem taking your shit out." jimin and walked to pick up the food he dropped earlier.

"it was fun while it lasted." jimin said walking out.

maybe my heart ached when i told you those words, or maybe i was expecting something else. i'm sorry i lied.

that was 5 years ago. whenever i look back i think back to that time— i showed you i didn't care but that's not the truth.

jimin walked back downstairs and called taehyung but he didn't answer. he called him a few more times before deciding to call jungkook. if he remembered correctly, jungkook's shift ended at two and it was well past 2.

he called him and within the second ring he answered.

"hello?" he said. "jimin, is something wrong?" jungkook asked. "nope, i was wondering if you wanted to go out for a drink?" jimin asked. he heard jungkook on the other line slightly gasp. "uh, yes." jungkook replied fast. "alright. i'll met you in front of the store in a few minutes." jimin said. jungkook agreed and jimin hung up.

he sighed and sat up from the chair. he walked towards the fridge and put the food away. he heard footsteps from behind him but ignored them.

"you're leaving?" he heard yoongi speak. jimin didn't answer. "i asked you something." yoongi spat. "i know, but there's no reason to answer you."

"stop being a baby and answer me." yoongi rolled his eyes. "why should you care? but if i must, going out drinking with a friend." jimin turned back to him.

"why? you don't like drinking and it's late." yoongi angrily muttered. "i do like drinking. i guess you forgot, i guess, maybe these three years really meant nothing. what a shame they didn't mean anything to me either. now if you'll excuse me i have a date to attend to."

"a date when you and i just broke up?" yoongi yelled. "are you serious?"

jimin shrugged and nodded. "why are you so angry for? i didn't say shit when i saw you with hoseok, you have no right to tell me what to do." jimin stepped closer to yoongi.

"you made your decision." jimin was face to face with yoongi. he felt yoongi's minty breath on his lips. jimin continued staring at him on the eyes and the next thing he knew they were kissing.

if wasn't until they pulled back that jimin pushed yoongi away. "don't come near me." he spat and walked to his bedroom to change.

•
that night was the last night yoongi and jimin we're together, the last time they kissed.

jimin went out drinking with jungkook and things got out of hand. when jimin woke up next to jungkook he cried and explained to him what happened. jungkook comforted him and promised jimin to make him happy.

that's how they ended up becoming friends, how from friends they went to lovers. to where they are right now. and that's how this story starts.
