Imagine.

Imagine if life turned a different path. Imagine that the road you did take wasn't as bumpy, as complicated or as difficult. Everything works out fine and you achieved your goal straight away. Imagine if the one thing you always wanted was given to you, what then?

"A life without Park Jimin? I don't want to imagine it"

That was Yoongis response, and despite the laughter that came from his mouth he was very serious.

"No, Really! Just think about it!" Jimin continues.  "What if I actually confessed to Jungkook and he liked me back?! You would have never had to talk to me and I'd never become friends with you or Hoseok Hyung or Seokjin Hyung or Namjoon Hyung!"

Yoongi lets out a small sigh as they sit on his bed facing each other. Yoongi was playing with Jimins hands while the younger chartered on. "I guess. I'd probably be sitting alone right now, while you and Jungkook would be, I don't know, kissing or something."

Jimin giggled. "Are you jealous Hyung? Jealous of something that hasn't even happened?"

"No. I just don't like to imagine you with him. Feels weird." The older mumbled with a small pout on his lips.

"You're right, it does feel weird. I can't imagine with being Jungkook either. He's been too in love with Taehyung way too long for him to date anyone else"

Yoongi lets out a soft chuckle. "Sounds familiar"

"Huh?"

Yoongi sees Jimin looking at him with his head cocked to the side, so he shook his head and moved on. "Nothing. Are you finished talking about Jungkook?"

Jimin laughed and threw himself onto the older, wrapping his arms around him as they fell backwards onto the bed. "Yes I'm done, did I delay your cuddle time for too long?"

"Are you mocking me?"

There are twists and turns, and ups and downs in your life for a reason. It's to let you make mistakes, then learn from them. It's to meet new people on the way. It's to shows you there's not always just one path. It might not be easy but would you change anything to be where you are now?

And if you're thinking that you aren't really happy where you on are, consider this: has your path ended? Not yet. There's still a chance for you to continue your path, or take a new direction. Keep going because you still have a whole road a head of you.

When Jimin opened his eyes, he realised he wasn't in the same place as before. This wasn't his bedroom?

He was in the connivence store close to school, the one him and Yoongi visit often and eat snacks after school. But Yoongi wasn't with him today.

"Hey Jimin"

After hearing his name, Jimin turned towards the stores entrance where Jungkook stood, holding the straps of his backpack. The taller boy smiled and made his way closer where he sat down next to Jimin at the window.

"Oh, is that good?" The younger asked, pointing to something in Jimin's hands.

Surprisingly, Jimin had no idea what he was talking about. He looked down into his hands to see a samgak kimbap, half eaten.

"Yeah, it's good" he said, though it never felt like he actually said it. He just heard himself say it.

"Can I have some?" Jungkook asked with bright eyes.

"Oh, Yeah sure" Jimin heard himself talk again before he handed the boy his snack.

This is odd. Jimin thought as he watched Jungkook take a huge bite out of the kimbap. Where's Tae? Usually they walk home together.

Jungkook extended his arm to give back the kimbap but Jimin shook his head without a thought. "No it's fine, you have the rest"

"Thanks Hyung" he smiled, then devoured the rest of the food. He wiped his mouth clean. "So, Hyung, how long?"

How long? How long what??

Jimin fidgets in his seat and scratches the back of his neck.

How long what? His internal thoughts ask again.

"A while" nervous. He sounded nervous? Why was he so shy all of a sudden? "Like a...a long while"

The younger chuckled and reached out to ruffle Jimin's hair. "Awh you're so cute Jiminie. I'm glad you confessed. I've liked you for a while too. A long while."

Huh!?

I confessed?

I never confessed?!

He felt his body heating up at Jungkooks words, which made him think what the hell is going on?! Since when did Jimin get this nervous around Jungkook anymore?

Where's Yoongi?!

" I almost thought you were going to reject me... For Taehyung"

Jimin couldn't believe what he was hearing himself say. If he could control what his body was doing, he would be outta there! Real fast!

Just as he saw Jungkook was about to open his mouth to speak, everything disappeared and turned to blackness. Jimin couldn't see anything, not even himself.

However, not a second later, there was light again. Jimin was somewhere else, in a park he assumed.

He examined his surroundings, it was the same park he and Yoongi visits, you know the one with their secret bench underneath the willow tree?

But again, Jungkook was here, Not Yoongi.

"Hyung" the younger grinned. It took a few moments for Jimin to realise the boy was extending his hand, probably for Jimin to take in his own.

For some reason his body complied and soon the two boys were holding hands, strolling through the park on an autumn day.

This is weird.

Jungkook, explain!

Jimin wanted to cry out for Yoongi to come and rescue him, to hold his hand instead of Jungkook, but his body seemed to completely ok with being around Jungkook like this. He seemed awfully happy being with Jungkook full stop. It was like the first few days he spent with Yoongi, but why was he with Jungkook?

Everything flashed black once again, then a new view appeared. This time their were outside Jimins house. Jimin was on the top step in front of his door, Jungkook was on the bottom step. He was tall enough to come eye to eye with Jimin though.

"I had such a good time, thank you" he heard himself say.

Jungkook couldn't stop smiling. "Me too"

Stop smiling!

"Well, goodnight then" Jimin said, the shyness back in his voice.

Just as he was about to turn to unlock his door, he felt Jungkooks hands grip on his waist and pull him closer until their noses were almost touching. Jimin had to hold his breath.

"Aren't you forgetting something?" Jungkook breathed out, eyes wondering down to Jimins lips.

Shit

Jimin attempted to force himself to scream as he saw Jungkook lean closer. Fortunately for him, the same blackness washed over him and suddenly he felt the control over his body come back. Taking advantage of that (before his body decided to do something else stupid) he kicked his arms and legs before jumping up from where he was.

"Jimin? What is it? Hell, are you ok?"

Flinching at the voice, he look towards who spoke.

Yoongi?

The older was still lying back on the bed, but now  propped up on his elbows and staring at Jimin with concern. He was back where he was.

"Are you ok?" Yoongi repeated as he sat up and wrapped an arm around the boy. "You scared me jumping up like that?"

Jimin stared into his lap, wondering what the hell just happened. "Yeah... i think I just had a dream" he said, ending with a shiver after remembering he almost kissed Jungkook. "It was weird"

"Wanna talk about it?"

"Nope!"
