"But, why does no one court me?"

Seokjin's voice was filled with sorrow as he expressed his frustration with the lack of attention he was receiving. He felt a deep sense of loneliness, lamenting that the person he admired didn't reciprocate his feelings, while those he didn't have interest in seemed to be drawn to him. Tears welled up in Seokjin's eyes as the realization of December approaching without a lover hit him hard. His voice trembled as he asked Jimin, "Am I going to end up like my aunt, forever single?"

"That's not true," Jimin countered, his mouth full of rice and bulgogi.

"I bet, I've never found the love of my life within." Seokjin continued to lament his situation.

"Jinnie," Jimin interrupted, swallowing his food,

"Did I have a chance with Namjoon?" He paused, wiping his fingers, then continued, "Do you think Namjoon would ever notice me?" Seokjin's attention was fully on Jimin now. Jimin took a sip of water before asking the crucial question,

"Jinnie, did you really love Namjoon?" Seokjin's gaze dropped, avoiding Jimin's eyes. "Did you feel magical when he's beside you or just your imagination? You said, you're going to meet the love of your life when you feel the magical love," Jimin stated, probing deeper. Seokjin lamented,

"Jiminie, December is coming. Everyone is happy because it's Christmas, and I'll be in my thirties. I don't want to be single like my aunt and sister." Disappointment crash on Seokjin. Then, Seokjin shared a magical moment. " You know Jiminie, Every time someone gets married, I always imagine myself at the altar." Jimin, focused on his meal, combined a bite of broccoli with his food. Seokjin continued, "And every time I've designed a wedding, I've thought, 'This could be my turn next." Jimin chewed thoughtfully on a particularly large piece of broccoli. "After each wedding, I picture myself with someone waiting for me, tired but eager to embrace me. We'd cuddle all night," Seokjin imagined, his voice filled with longing. Jimin finished the side dishes and even the kimchi, his appetite seemingly unaffected by the conversation. Finally, he took a long drink of water to quench his thirst.

"Jinnie, can I be true to you?" Jimin asked, his voice filled with a mix of nervousness and sadness towards his best friend.

"Of course, you're my true best friend, that's why all our friends in business Management. I choose you to be my business partner." Seokjin nodded, understanding the gravity of the moment.

"I can't take this anymore," Jimin confessed, his breath catching in his throat. Seokjin responded with a comforting smile, "Jinnie, you know that I love you and consider you the best friend I've ever had. You've done more than enough for me." Jimin felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, but he knew he had to reveal the truth. Reaching out, he placed his hand on Seokjin's, but Seokjin didn't notice the engagement ring on Jimin's finger. "Jinnie," The realization of what he was about to do hit Jimin hard, and he suddenly felt the urgent need to use the bathroom. "Ah... It hurts," A sharp pain in his abdomen. Seokjin got worried. "I need to use the bathroom." Jimin ran towards the bathroom.

Seokjin chuckled, mistaking Jimin's discomfort for overeating, "You glutton," he laughed while eating the bulgogi.

~~~~~

"Why? Why? Why?" Jimin broke down in tears inside the bathroom, his mind racing. "What should I do?" he sobbed, his voice echoing in the small space of the bathroom. "Can you please talk to me?" He asked the bottle display on the bathroom. "I can take this anymore!!" He also confessed to the picture frame in the bathroom. He sat in the restroom, overwhelmed by the weight of his secret. "How can I tell him...?" he groaned, tears streaming down his face to release the burden. Also to take out the burden in his intestine. Jimin sighed of relief as thinking about his next move to confess to Seokjin. "I need to tell him the truth, although the truth is hurt." 

Suddenly, he heard Namjoon's voice outside.

"Seokjin,"

Panic surged through him as he scrambled down to the toilet seat, to compose himself. He turned on the faucet, but to his dismay, no water came out. "Why is there no water in a time of crisis?" he cried out in frustration. As if things couldn't get any worse, he realized he was locked in the bathroom. Lady luck was definitely not on his side. "Why this bad luck keep happening to me!! Doesn't mean, I was born on Friday the 13th. I had to face the bad luck, please no today!!"

Seokjin saw Namjoon standing outside. "What happened, Jonnie?" he asked, concerned.

"I forgot the key," Namjoon replied as he tried to enter the shop.

Meanwhile, inside, Jimin was struggling to find water after finishing his business.

"Why is this happening?" Jimin cried, "Seokjin! Help me!!!" He slammed the bathroom door open but to no avail.

"Jimin," Startled both Seokjin and Namjoon who were standing downstairs. Namjoon instinctively raised his arms in surprise.

"Seokjin, wait," Namjoon called him, "I was afraid you'd hate us both, but you needed to know the truth. Seokjin, I know this is hard. Jimin is your childhood friend and best friend, but we need to be honest with you." Seokjin was overwhelmed by a mix of emotions, happiness, and excitement. While, Namjoon got nervous and cannot form a word for telling the hidden truth.

Suddenly, Jimin kicked open the bathroom door and burst out, "Namjoon!" Seokjin flinched at the sudden noise,

"Jimin," Seokjin turned his head into upstairs but, he needs to know about Namjoon confession. 

"Seokjin, I need to tell you something important." Namjoon quickly held him back. He cannot believe that Namjoon so determine to tell something.

"Namjoon, NO!" Jimin yelled above the balcony. Namjoon will tell the truth.

Seokjin protested, her voice filled with disbelief. Namjoon pulled Seokjin closer, his voice firm as he revealed the truth,

"Jimin and I are getting married." The shocking revelation hit Seokjin hard, and he collapsed to the ground, unconscious.
