It was a whole mess.

"My brother is finally getting laid!" Taehyung announced excitedly and Yoongi could do nothing but sigh.

"Tae, this is not about that. I'm just asking Jimin out. I-"

"But it will happen right after."

"Not really. I already told you that I only want to enjoy my time with Jimin on our first official date. I don't want it to be about sex or whatever."

Yoongi was about to elaborate more on what he's trying to tell Tae but Jin interrupted him. "There is no point talking about dates right now if we haven't even started planning on it yet!"

The older boy had a point, so Yoongi chose to ignore Taehyung's suggestive smiles and focused on the task at hand. He needed to finish preparing everything by this week so that they could lay out the plan as soon as possible. Yoongi didn't want to wait, especially now that Hobi had finally knocked some sense to his brain.

He wanted Jimin, and he'll get him. If those stars bullshit thing was really true, then everything should go well.

"We should take advantage of the movie night later. We can make Jimin drunk and ask him how he would prefer a romantic date to go," Namjoon suggested. Yoongi thought that was a good idea.

Taehyung opened his mouth to speak. "Or I can just ask him."

"No!" they all shouted as Taehyung tilted his head in confusion. He pouted and Yoongi wanted to snort at his cute little brother.

"You can't ask Jimin, or even Jungkook. Especially Jungkook. Please don't mention anything to Jungkook about this," Yoongi said, making the younger boy pout even more.

Namjoon nodded his head in agreement. "Although you have exceptional acting skills, you can't hide a damn secret, Tae. Just don't mention anything to the two."

The boy finally agreed, but not without Jin bribing to cook mashed potatoes for him for a whole week. They continued to think of a good plan, starting off with the perfect date and time. They had come up with various ideas for the venue but decided to finalize it once they were able to ask a drunk Jimin.

"He likes blue," Yoongi mentioned. "Maybe we can put blue balloons. Or we can also set up the date in a place where blue is the theme."

"How about by the sea? That's already blue," Taehyung suggested.

Oh.

His brother was indeed a genius just like him.

"Should there be music?" came Namjoon's question.

Yoongi wanted to put a little background music, but he was not sure if it would be too cheesy. He was even thinking of composing a song, but the again, maybe it would be too cheesy. The last thing he wanted was for Jimin to spend the whole night cringing to the point of wanting to vomit.

His thoughts were thrown into waste when Taehyung spoke up in response to Namjoon's question. "Jiminie will like it. I'm sure!"

Skeptical, Yoongi raised his eyebrows at his excited brother. "How would you know?" 

And of course Taehyung knew. He and Jimin had been stuck to the hip ever since they met, to the point wherein Jungkook would complain he was not being loved enough by Taehyung. He still wanted to ask, though. Yoongi was too nervous to easily believe in anything right now.

"I am Jiminie's lost twin! How could you possibly question my wisdom?!" Taehyung responded, clearly indignant. "He's hopeless romantic. We would watch movies and he would always gush about how sweet this and that was. He'll love the seaside kind of date, with music and any other cliche. But of course, you wouldn't listen. You don't love me enough, hyung."

Yoongi rolled his eyes. "Look-"

"But really, I understand!" his younger brother continued, not letting Yoongi say a word. "You are anxious and whipped. You need guidance, hyung. I'll be the kind brother I am and help you throughout. I'll participate in asking Jimin while he's drunk, and act as if I don't know anything even if I already know what his answer will be. I'll be with you, hyung, even if you get imprisoned or need to go to rehab because of your sleep addiction. I'll-"

"Okay, okay, that's nice to know, Tae," Namjoon finally stepped in, making Yoongi sigh in relief. He was very thankful for Taehyung, but he knew the boy would go on and on nonstop. Taehyung huffed but nodded anyway.

They went on discussing more ideas and listing them down on a notebook. They also listed all the possible things that might be needed so that it would be easier later on. More suggestions came until Taehyung announced that he was hungry. Happy and overwhelmed with all the planning to pine after the boy with the cute smile, Yoongi volunteered to treat them all.

They were finishing up when Jin suddenly laughed loudly, making them all turn to him in confusion.

"What's so funny?" Namjoon asked while touching his cheek, probably wondering if there was some dirt on his face that made the older boy laugh.

Jin only shook his head. "Nothing. With all of the preparations we came up with, it feels like Yoongi is about to propose, not to simply confess."

Everyone else laughed and agreed, leaving Yoongi to huff and sulk by himself.

•|•|•|•|~YM~|•|•|•|•

"Whoa, what's with all the beer?" Jungkook asked, eyes wide as he looked at the bottles of beer that Jin and Namjoon brought.

"We're getting drunk tonight!!!" Taehyung replied while doing a weird dance that probably meant he was excited.

Jimin's eyebrows furrowed as he glanced at the beer with concern in his eyes. "Why? I thought we're only watching a movie?"

Everyone except for Jungkook and Jimin glanced at each other and Yoongi just wanted to die right at that moment because could they be any more obvious? Good thing both boys were too busy inspecting the bottles of beer and food they brought to actually notice. It was Jin who opened his mouth. At least he could trust Jin to say something. The man had a master's degree in pretending, acting, lying and just about tricking everyone else so that he could get away with anything.

"We just realized it's been a long time since we last had fun and got drunk. The movies are getting boring. Plus, we're celebrating the day Namjoon got circumcised! Let's drink and be merry!"

"Wait, wha-"

"What's circumcised?" Jungkook asked. Before Jin could answer, Namjoon was already shouting and cheering, "Let's have fun!" while wiggling his arms awkwardly in an attempt to express false excitement. Luckily for him, Jimin and Jungkook just shrugged and went ahead preparing plates and cups.

Yoongi, on the other hand, couldn't help his curiousity and nudged Namjoon. "Are you really circumcised?" he whispered.

Namjoon responded with a heavy sigh before shaking his head resolutely. " No... Just, no. No."

At that moment, Yoongi understood. He only nodded and patted the boy in the back. Not surprising. Jin and his ways. 

All of them were gathered around the living room, bottles of beer distributed to each one as they decided to have a Brooklyn Nine Nine marathon instead of watching a movie. As they have planned, the four of them drank slowly so as not to get drunk before Jimin and Jungkook did. Jin was cracking some jokes while they pretended to drink. Taehyung also did a good job of encouraging Jungkook and Jimin to drink more.

There's just one problem, though.

Jimin was not drinking.

At all.

The plan was not working.

"Jiminie! You're no fun!" Taehyung whined when the boy once again turned down his offer of alcohol.

"Yeah, no fun!" Jungkook chorused drunkenly, kissing Taehyung loudly on the lips right after. 

Jimin laughed and shook his head in fondness. Taehyung tried to offer him a glass again but he declined, not knowing that the action made Yoongi's mood wilt even more. "I've got dance practice tomorrow, Tae. I can't be like a zombie first thing in the morning,"  he explained with a laugh.

Hearing this, Yoongi frowned. Not pouted. Just frowned.

"What about Jungkook? He's drinking,"  Yoongi tried to reason. He just hoped his voice didn't sound sulky.

Unfortunately for him, Jimin responded with a slightly confused and amused smile. Which meant, yes, he sounded sulky. "Jungkook doesn't have practice tomorrow. Only me, hyung."

Oh.

Well, that was embarrassing.

Yoongi made a show of shrugging and then went ahead and stared at the bottle he was nursing. He heard Namjoon snort subtly. Yoongi stepped on his pinky toe.

An hour later and Jungkook was about to take off all of his clothes and dance naked in front of them, while Jimin, sweet and cute and beautiful and perfect Jimin, haven't had even a single drop of beer. None of the questions they were planning to ask were answered. Jin was getting a little tipsy now and Taehyung kept on failing in asking Jimin about his preference, especially that his boyfriend wouldn't stop bothering him.

When Jungkook took off his shirt and made a show of banging his chest like kingkong, Yoongi finally realized that there was no point in this. A man should know when to give up. Clearly, this was not the right time. 

How sad.

"I think we've had enough," Namjoon finally announced when Jungkook attempted to take hold of another bottle. Yoongi stood up and helped Namjoon collect all of the remaining bottles--that Jimin never touched--and bring them to the kitchen. 

Jungkook looked confused at this, which made Yoongi really thankful that Namjoon chose to be the one to intervene. He had seen the boy drunk before and would not stop asking questions as to why they should stop drinking. Jungkook was also fond of asking bizarre things about life and the world when drunk, so Namjoon's philosophical bullshit talent would surely be put to the test.

Seeming to read Yoongi's mind, Jungkook spoke up just then. "Why are our toes called toes? Why can't they be fingers? Like... Like... Hand-fingers and feet-fingers. Not toes, FEET-FINGERS!"

The aforementioned boy was now being dragged by Tae to the guest room. All the while, Taehyung glanced at him apologetically. Yoongi smiled back, trying to thank his younger brother for his hard work even though things did not go the way they should have. Namjoon was also being dragged with them because Jungkook wouldn't let go of his arms unless he was given a satisfying answer.

The sacrifice of a noble man. 

"What's happening?" came a question. And it was then that Yoongi remembered poor Seokjin who was now a little drunk but not enough to act like shit. "I thought we were supposed to ask Ji-"

"We're all done here now!" Yoongi quickly interrupted the confused boy. "Jungkook has gone wild, hyung. Just go rest in your room. Joon will be joining you in a-" He tried remembering the last time Jungkook got drunk. Nope. Namjoon would not be joining him in a minute or any time soon. "Just go rest in your room, Jin-hyung."

The older boy nodded and went as told.

Sighing, Yoongi proceeded to clean up since everything was a mess. He almost forgot that there was another person in the living room until the television went off. When he looked, it was Jimin.

"Guess we're the only ones who survived, huh." He laughed, and his eyesmile was making Yoongi's heart beat so fast it felt like it was about to burst.

Yoongi smiled hopelessly, his moping now all gone as he stared at the pretty face of the boy in front of him. All of a sudden, it didn't matter anymore that his plan didn't work. Jimin's smile and sweet voice were all that matters. 

He's contented right now.

The grand confession scheme could wait.

"Yeah," he replied while putting away all the trash. A comfortable silence befell them as he arranged the chairs and table. Jimin followed his every move with his gaze but Yoongi didn't find it disturbing. How could he if the boy was looking at him with fond and amused eyes?

"Done!" Yoongi announced, turning so that he was facing Jimin. "Should we go to our rooms now?"

Jimin bit his lower lip, and for some reason, Yoongi felt like something in the air shifted. "Don't want to," the younger boy answered cheekily. 

"You already look sleepy, you dwarf."

 "Hey!"

Yoongi laughed. Oh, this felt so good. How he wished he could hug this boy right now. And kiss him. Damn, kiss those plump lips.

Shaking away his thoughts, he smiled one last time and turned away, heading to the room where he usually would sleep in when he's here in Jin's apartment. A contented sigh left his mouth just as Jimin spoke up.

"Uh, hyung, wait!"

"Hm?"

When Yoongi faced the younger boy again, he found him staring at the floor while blushing furiously. He wondered why that was. The look suited Jimin. He really looked cute when shy or embarrassed.

"U-Umm..."

Yoongi laughed and walked closer. "What is it?"

"I-..."

He waited patiently. Jimin glanced at him with those pretty eyes and Yoongi tried his best not to combust right then and there.

"Jimin, you should know that you can share anything to hyung and-"

"I like you!"

Yoongi blinked. What?

"I've been planning to do this for a while now but I think now is the best time. I lied. I don't have practice tomorrow. I just don't want to get drunk because I wanted to be sober when I do this. I like you, hyung. Not the I-find-you-hot-let's-hook-up kind of like, but I do find you hot and all! I really like you. The kind of like that makes me think of a future life together. You're the only one that made me feel like this, hyung, and nothing more will make me happier if you'd agree to date me. For real. Like you know, something that would lead to a long-term commitment that involves wedding preparations and pet dogs. I...like you, hyung. PLEASE GO OUT WITH ME!"

Yoongi blinked again.

What?
