but that's nth new

Blue_ribbon_mochi:
I
can come sit with u
I mean I only have like ten minutes left in my break but still

Yoongi:
I'll be waiting

He hurried out of the break room as quickly as he could without making it seem like he was in an obvious rush. But he was. Because he wanted to see Yoongi, too, and he was touched that Yoongi had decided on his own free will to come visit him during the day.

By the time he located which table Yoongi was seated at, Jimin found that there was someone else there, too. A girl. She was standing right beside Yoongi, saying something as she gazed at him with hopeful eyes. And Jimin just froze.

"Sorry, I j-...oh, here he is now."

In the beat of a heart both Yoongi's and the girl's eyes were turned towards him, and Jimin felt compelled to smile and wave at her, albeit an awkward smile and a forced wave. And all of a sudden the girl turned into a stuttering mess, shifting her attention rapidly between Yoongi and Jimin as she tried hopelessly to get out a coherent thought.

"O-oh, I'm so sorry, I didn't know you were-...I mean, if I had known you d-...t-then I wouldn't have, I'm sorry, if you'll excuse me..."

Just like that, she was gone. Jimin blinked.

"Aren't you gonna sit down?"

It took him a moment, but eventually Jimin lowered himself to the seat across from Yoongi, curious eyes taking another glance at the stranger who was now exiting the cafe with another girl he assumed to be her friend.

"She asked for my number," Yoongi explained quietly. Jimin quickly turned his head to face him. "And I told her as politely as I could that 'one, I don't like giving out my number to strangers', 'two, I'm not into girls', and 'three, I've already got a boyfriend'. Thankfully she wasn't as persistent as some others have been..."

Taking a long sip of his coffee, Yoongi examined Jimin's expression which he could sense gradually transforming from concern to relief before his eyes. He permitted himself a slight smile.

"How much time left in your break now?"

Jimin, clearing his throat real quick to dismiss his thoughts, glanced at his watch. "Seven minutes."

"Would you be mad if I kissed you here?"

Just like that Jimin could feel his cheeks start to redden, and Yoongi hadn't even done anything yet. Merely spoken. But his words, and his voice, and that adorable head-tilt, and the way he gazed expectantly into Jimin's eyes was enough to make Jimin believe Cupid had shot him again. He took a brief moment to scan the cafe. There weren't too many people here now. And he thought to himself, they're probably all too busy with themselves to notice anything else anyway. Or perhaps he was wrong, and his heart was simply trying to take over his mind again as it often did with matters concerning Yoongi.

But hey, what was the harm, right?

Shyly glancing down at the table, Jimin uttered a quiet 'it's okay', and not a moment later he felt Yoongi's gentle hand placed upon his cheek, then a gentle kiss placed upon his lips. It did dangerous things to his heart. Even with such a short kiss, Jimin's chest grew a hundred degrees warmer - or at least it felt that way to him. And it was almost frustrating to him, because where did Yoongi's shyness go?? When did he become so coolheaded and leave me the only one a blushing mess?? It's not fair.

It also wasn't fair that Yoongi smiled a lot more openly now. Only to Jimin, naturally, and it was small, but a smile was a smile. And Yoongi's smile was something else.

"I wish I could be more natural about it," Jimin said with a laugh, and to his surprise, Yoongi knew exactly what he was talking about. And it just made him smile wider and laugh softly, which in turn only worsened Jimin's issue and caused him to become even more frustrated with himself. And with Yoongi. Primarily Yoongi. One hundred percent Yoongi. This was Yoongi's fault.

"Does it seem natural?"

"You make it seem natural..."

"Should I not?"

"No, that's not what I meant, I-I'm just saying I wish I could be more suave like you."

"Suave, huh?"

That's what it looks like? Wow, I guess I'm better at hiding the fact that my heart is about to beat out of my chest than I thought. Nice. If he thinks I'm suave, let him think I'm suave.

"Jimin, you make me want to be that way, so I'm glad it's working."

He leaned across the table once more and kissed Jimin's cheek, instantly triggering the blush the orange-haired boy had just managed to repress.

"I-I s-...I should-" Jimin fiddled with his bangs as an obvious act of nervousness, glancing at his watch yet again as he tried to ignore the fondness which simply radiated from Yoongi's soft, half-lidded eyes. "...I should probably get back to work-"

"Text me as soon as you can."

"I will."

"Promise?"

"P-...promise."

Jimin slowly rose to his feet and was about to turn his back to Yoongi when he heard the boy's soft voice again whisper, "I love you." And it stopped him in his tracks, just enough for him to whisper the same words in return.

And oh, how they made Yoongi's heart race.
