~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"so you're telling me, that you loved taehyung's brother, but you were also the cat that killed him, so you came up with the rule that cats and humans couldn't fall in love to avoid the same mistake you made, and not only that but you're also telling me that jinyoung and jaebeom did get their happily ever after?"

jimin nodded after yoongi summarized everything he'd just said. jungkook scratched his ear with his foot. "that's a lot of information," he said.

"but how exactly did jinyoung and jaebeom get their happily ever after? you said that you erased jaebeom's memory and jinyoung asked you to erase his," yoongi said confused.

"well, i did erase jaebeom's memory, but when jinyoung found out, he was mad. he was really heartbroken to find out that the person he loved, couldn't remember him," jimin explained. "i didn't want jinyoung to keep suffering and he didn't want me to erase his memory of jaebeom, so i gave jaebeom his memory back and let them be together. i couldn't let them keep suffering because of my mistake."

"so what i'm hearing is, yoongi and taehyung can be together?" jungkook asked, his tail twitching in excitement.

yoongi's eyes widened. "taehyung doesn't love me." he lied.

"yoongi, i know taehyung loves you. he told me after i told him the truth. he was very upset and left the animal shelter. hoseok is currently taking care of it."

jungkook's ears perked up at the mention of his boyfriend's name. "can i go with hoseok?"

jimin nodded. "yeah, you can, he's your boyfriend, after all. i will also be busy trying to talk to taehyung, but i have a feeling he'll only listen if yoongi comes."

"i'll go," yoongi said. "i'll be in my human form right? because i don't think taehyung will understand my cat noises. he's only familiar with my whines and hisses."

a cloud of sparkly dust suddenly appeared, turning jimin into a human, before he turned yoongi and jungkook human as well.

"i'm going to ask hoseok if he can buy me chocolate and cheeseballs," jungkook said as he skipped ahead of yoongi and jimin, eager to get to the animal shelter and to hoseok.

yoongi watched as his best friend skipped away until he was out of sight. he turned to jimin who seemed to be thinking deeply.

"is that what you had been thinking about these past few days?" yoongi asked.

jimin nodded. "i accidentally yelled at jungkook because of this too. i was really debating if i should even tell taehyung and you the truth. i was especially afraid of taehyung's reaction. i was afraid he would get mad and i was right."

"i'm sure if you try talking to him again, he'll understand, especially if i'm there. you're letting us be together though, right? just like jinyoung and jaebeom?"

jimin nodded again. "taehyung was pretty upset when he found out why i didn't want you two to fall in love with each other. he hates me, yoongi."

"taehyung doesn't hate you. he's your best friend, how can he hate you?"

"he told me. he said that he realized that he didn't hate cats, but he hated me."

"he doesn't hate you," yoongi tried to reassure.

"i killed his brother, i would hate me too," jimin said.

"you were just scared that someone else would make the same mistake you did."

"i didn't even get to tell him about jinyoung and jaebeom's real story. he ran out because he was so upset. i'm supposed to be his best friend, not the cat he hates."

yoongi sighed. "don't worry, he might feel resentful towards you right now, but i don't think he hates you."

jimin nodded his head while walking with yoongi towards taehyung's house.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"i have no friends, namjoon."

"not even your cat yoongi?" namjoon asked confused.

taehyung had called namjoon as soon as he ran out of the animal shelter because he needed someone to talk to, but couldn't think of anyone else, but the male sitting across from him in his living room.

"yoongi wasn't even my cat and he's gone," taehyung cried. "i love him and miss him so much already."

"i thought yoongi was your cat?"

taehyung shook his head. "yoongi was just helping me with something, but we fell in love. jimin said we couldn't."

namjoon raised an eyebrow, even more confused. "who's jimin?"

taehyung bitterly chuckled. "you're right, who is jimin? he's for sure not my best friend anymore. he's a liar and he lied to me this whole time. did you know that he killed my brother?"

"uh...no."

"well, he did. that's why he wouldn't let me and yoongi be together. he thought we would make the same mistake as him. and then, he had the audacity to even apologize, can you believe that?"

namjoon said nothing. he just let taehyung freely speak.

"apologizing won't undo what he did to my brother."

namjoon nodded as if understanding, but he hardly knew what was going on.

"i used to hate animals, especially cats, but then as jimin was talking, i realized that i never hated cats, i hated jimin all along. he was the one responsible for seokjin's death."

"why did you hate cats?" namjoon asked as what taehyung was saying wasn't making sense.

"because jimin is the calico cat that killed my brother."

namjoon slowly nodded. he was about to excuse himself to leave because he didn't know what taehyung was saying when the front door suddenly opened.

"do you not knock?" taehyung asked annoyed as he saw jimin standing in the doorway.

"we came to talk," said yoongi as he appeared in the doorway as well.

"yoongi?" taehyung asked confused. "but you were..." he couldn't even bring himself to finish the sentence because he was so surprised and confused to see yoongi in his human form.

now, namjoon was beyond confused. he decided that it would be best to leave. "i'm sorry taehyung, i have to go, i hope you can talk to jimin," he said unaware that jimin was standing in the doorway. "goodbye."

jimin stepped aside to let namjoon leave before he stepped inside along with yoongi. he closed the door behind them.

"taehyung, listen i know you're mad at me, but please-"

"i don't want to hear it," taehyung interrupted.

"taehyung, please listen to him," yoongi said. "you didn't finish listening to everything he had to say before you ran off."

taehyung sighed before signaling them to sit on the couch. "fine, finish saying what you have to say."

jimin internally thanked yoongi as he sat down. "i know you hate me, but i am deeply sorry for seokjin. i didn't become your best friend just because i pitied you, i became your best friend because you had no one and i wanted to be there for you."

taehyung pursed his lips as he listened to jimin, his eyes occasionally glancing at yoongi, not really believing that he was there and in his human form.

"the story about jaebeom and jinyoung, i also lied about that."

"how many things did you even lie about," taehyung muttered.

"i did erase jaebeom's memory, but not jinyoung's. when jinyoung found out what i did to jaebeom, he was mad and upset that his lover couldn't remember him. i couldn't bear to see jinyoung hurting so, i gave jaebeom his memory back and let them be together," jimin explained.

taehyung's eyes widened. "is that why yoongi is here? you're going to let us be together? love each other?"

yoongi's heart fluttered as taehyung mentioned them loving each other.

jimin nodded. "it would be selfish of me to not let you two be together just because of my faults and fears. you two deserve to be together. it's also the least i can do after lying to you for so long. not to mention, yoongi did learn his lesson as well, even though it was a little too late."

tears of joy streamed down taehyung's face and he quickly engulfed jimin in a hug. "thank you, jimin. i'm also sorry for what i said. i don't really hate you, i just spoke without thinking because i was mad that you kept the truth hidden from me for so long."

jimin hugged taehyung tighter. "you don't hate me for killing your brother?"

"no, seokjin was really caring, just like you. in a way, you are like him and even though seokjin isn't alive, i'm reminded of him because of you," taehyung said as more tears fell from his eyes.

"because i killed him?"

"no, jimin, stop saying that. i just mean that your personalities are similar," taehyung explained.

jimin smiled before letting go of taehyung who then turned to yoongi who was sitting patiently on the couch. he stood up as soon as taehyung looked at him.

he smiled. "why are you crying again?" he asked as taehyung embraced in a hug.

"yoongi," more tears fell down taehyung's face as he spoke. "i love you. i loved you for so long, but because of the rule that jimin made up, i thought it would be best to not tell you at all. jungkook was the one who finally convinced me to tell you. i know it was a last minute thing, but i just wanted to let you know."

"it wasn't a last minute thing. i'm just happy you feel the same way for me and that we can be together now," said yoongi as broke away from their hug to stare into taehyung's eyes. he wiped away his tears for him and smiled. "i want to kiss you."

"then kiss me."

and so yoongi did just that. for once, he didn't turn into a cat nor did either of them have to use some magic dust to wish that they could kiss.

it was real now. taehyung and yoongi were finally able to kiss, without anything happening.

taehyung smiled through his tears that continued to fall from his eyes as he kissed yoongi, happy that he could kiss him freely now.

yoongi was happy as well. he realized that this was their first kiss as while both of them being human.

"did you love me for a while now?" yoongi asked as soon as they broke away from their kiss.

taehyung nodded. "yeah, i didn't realize it until i saw jungkook and hoseok kiss. i just had this urge to kiss you."

yoongi smirked. "so that's why you let me do this," he said as he reached up and placed his finger over the love bit that was hidden under taehyung's sweater.

taehyung's cheeks turned a rosy shade of color. to avoid any more embarrassment, he grabbed yoongi's face and kissed him again all while jimin watched, a smile on his face, totally feeling like a third wheel, but not minding at all.
