When the screen on his phone lit up, Jimin couldn't help but blush. After the second ring, he received the call. "Hey!" As he blushed red, his eyes formed crescents.

"Hello, Jimin! I wanted to ask if you were free today. I've returned to Seoul and will be available for a day." 

Jimin frowned at the formal girl and rolled his eyes. He couldn't understand how a sweet girl like Yoona could be so formal that she wouldn't even inquire about his well-being. Nonetheless, he responded.

"I might not be free today. I need to go out with my friend and it was decided. I won't be able to avoid that. Will it be fine if I let you know once I get free?"

He tapped his foot impatiently while he waited for the girl's response.

"Alright! Let's do that. Bye!"

Yoona hung up without waiting for Jimin's response, who sighed. How can I fall for such a girl?

Without any further thoughts, he strolled out of his room and went to his soulmate's.

This time it was Jimin who barged into Taehyung's room without knocking. Taehyung flinched yet gazed softly after noticing the sad look of his best friend.

"Tae~" Jimin pouted and wrapped his arms around the younger as if his life depended on it. "Why did I fall for Yoona?"

The question made Taehyung sigh. How would he know the answer?

"What did she do?" Taehyung inquired as he rubbed soothing circles on Jimin's back.

Jimin melted in Taehyung's touch, feeling lucky to have a best friend like him. He closed his eyes at the feeling before responding. "She is so formal. She called me to inform me that she was free but didn't even ask how I was doing. Not just that, she didn't even wait for my response once she bid goodbye."

Taehyung smiled at his innocent query. He hugged his best friend even tighter and waited for him to calm down. Taehyung found it amusing that the other came to him with a relationship issue when he was a relationship failure himself.

Once Jimin calmed down, he broke the hug and pouted harder. Taehyung couldn't stop himself from squeezing the other's soft cheeks, making him whine.

"You need to forget about her for a while. Prepare yourself and be happy that we are about to meet Riko."

Jimin smiled broadly and his eyes twinkled with delight at the mere mention of their favorite anime artist.

"How can I forget that? Oh, wait! I don't have time. We need to get ready as soon as possible. I'll be wearing my new red sweater, which I recently purchased. Also, I think the red sweater will look good with my new baby pink hair." With his eye smile, Jimin chirped.

"You will look too cute in that. Don't you think you should look hot and sexy rather than cute?" Taehyung asked, wiggling his brows playfully.

"No! I'd like to show her my cute side. The lead character in her anime was cute too." He commented with tiny claps, making Taehyung laugh.

"You're too much, Chim."

Taehyung's laugh echoed in his room and Jimin couldn't help but look fondly at him. Jimin was delighted to see Taehyung laughing so heartily after such a long time.

Once Taehyung's laughter died, Jimin asked what he was wearing. Taehyung walked to his closet and grabbed his full-sleeved green t-shirt with brown slacks.

Jimin smiled at Taehyung's choice and walked out to get ready. They just had 2 hours to get ready, and Jimin was worried because he didn't have much time. After all, who can get ready in just two hours? Not Jimin for sure!

🥀

Taehyung and Jimin were sitting in the same restaurant where Taehyung and Namjoon had last met Hoseok. It had only been a few days, and Taehyung was seated in the same place as before.

The best friends were both excited and nervous. They didn't know what to expect from their favorite anime artist. What if she was obnoxious or too old?

Just when they were looking at each other nervously, Hoseok's voice made them turn their heads. "I'm so sorry, guys! We are late."

Taehyung was smiling like a child while Jimin was shocked to see Yoona in front of him, and the girl was equally surprised.

"Meet my sister, Riko. Her real name is Yoona though." Hoseok introduced his sister and turned to his left to look at her, but was taken aback when he noticed her wide eyes staring at Jimin with unreadable expressions.

Taehyung looked at Hoseok and was as confused as him when he saw his best friend looking shockingly at the girl standing to the front.

"Chim, what's wrong?" Taehyung whispered in Jimin's ear to grab his attention.

"She's Yoona, the girl I went on a blind date with," Jimin answered lowly, making Taehyung gasp.

"Oppa, he is Jimin. I went on a blind date with him. However, what is he doing with Kim Taehyung?" Yoona questioned Hoseok lowly. She hated the idea of Jimin and Taehyung knowing each other.

"They both are best friends and they are idols. Now that you've returned to Korea, you should be familiar with the famous people here." Hoseok teased his sister. "I like this boy already. He's so cute and fluffy, like a fluffball. Also, I'm glad that he is Taehyung's best friend." Hoseok smiled as he took in the soft and beautiful features of Jimin and it only annoyed Yoona.

Yoona took a step ahead and stood in front of Taehyung. "You are responsible for Jia's tears. I hate you more than anything." Her tone was tinged with venom and resentment.

Then, she turned to Jimin and laughed bitterly. "All boys are liars. I despise men like you who lie. Also, you're Taehyung's friend and that will only make me hate you more. I'm breaking up with whatever we are having. I don't think I'll see you again."

Yoona turned around, wanting to leave the place. She came to a halt near her brother.

"Get your facts checked, Oppa. Don't befriend such people. They are nothing more than liars. I don't want to do anything with such people."

She walked out without pausing to look back at the man with a shattered heart who stood there.

Taehyung and Hoseok exchanged glances with the miserable soul who stood there like a mannequin, pouting and crying.
