" I'm well aware I write to many songs about you,"

"I'll be back min, I have to head to the grocery store. Try not to die while I'm gone." The brunette shouted to his roommate from across the hall as Taehyung made his way to the front door. Jimin was still under the weather following Jungkook's visit, but he was slowly getting better.

However, they no longer had vitamins or snacks to fuel him. Their figure was practically empty as it had a bottle of cold brew coffee and a tangerine only. It was quite a sad view really.

So Tae being the noble roommate he thought of himself decided to go grocery shopping since Jimin wasn't in the best state as he usually is.

He brought along a few reusable bags and wore a simple outfit. A tan sweater vest covering a white shirt with khaki pants. His inner "art hoe" was surely out and about.

Humming a sweet tone Taehyung opened the door and was about to walk out when he met eyes with a sharp-eyed boy. His skin was pale with a warm glow, his eyes a deep brown almost like a kitten, and his hair was a deep black that only made him more attractive. Tae was speechless from the other sudden appearance.

"You're Jimin's roommate right?" The male asked in a monotone voice that was soothing like waves.

Nodding 'Yes' Tae then looked at the door and closed it behind him. Standing in front of the door he smiled at the stranger. "Yeah, Taehyung," He said extending his arm. Cautiously the stranger shook it.  "So. What are you here for?"

"I'm Yoongi... I heard Jimin was sick from Namjoon since he wanted to meet up, but I was hoping to check up on him if that's alright?" The cold seeming man now turned shy, as he rubbed the back of his neck and shyly looked at the ground.

"He actually is sleeping right now, but I was going to go get some groceries," A glimpse of excitement filled Tae as an Idea came to him. "How about you join me? Once I get back I'm sure he'll be awake, and I could use an extra hand."

The two boys seemed like opposites. Tae wearing bright white and brown colors as Yoongi wore a simple gray sweatshirt with a pair of black ripped jeans. While it wasn't Tae's style it sure looked nice on the other.

Yoongi nodded his head slightly and agreed with a quick "Sure".

The two were strangers but somehow felt a warm aura around one another. With a simple silence, Tae leads the way as he walked down the hall as Yoongi followed him.

The weather was a bit cloudy with a cold breeze passing by. Walking down their green campus as the tree swayed Tae looked back to see Yoongi following him still, but casually staring at the sky.

"Jimin talks about you, Min Yoongi." Tae smiled as he turned back to face the other. Yoongi of course reacted as he heard his name.

However, when Taehyung smoothly said his name it felt like honey to his ears.

"Ah, he does?" He asked, suppressing a small smile.

"He never mentioned you looking this cute," The roommate boldly commented.

His footsteps froze and Yoongi only stared at the back of Taehyungs back, as a small flutter filled his heart. He wasn't sure why exactly, was it the way Tae slyly smiled or how his hair flew in the win perfectly covering his forehead.

"Thank you..." Yoongi smiled.

-

It didn't take long before the pair were browsing down lanes in the grocery store. Yoongi picking up a drink and a small snack, while Tae pushed a cart filled with food to last him and his roommate another week.

"So, you like art?" Yoongi filled the silence as he pointed to the small paint pallet pin on Taehyung's vest.

His eyes following where Yoongi's finger pointed, Tae smiled.

"You could tell?" He sarcastically giggled.

The evening went on like that.

Tae paid for his groceries and Yoongi helped him hold a few bags back to the dorm. In reality, Yoongi was there to talk to Jimin about the Spring festival concert, but couldn't even remember after his outing with Taehyung.

The whole walk back he was rambling about his favorite artist or some cafés nearby he should try. However, Yoongi wasn't listening. It wasn't because he was annoyed or displeased, but he was distracted by Taehyungs voice merely. How soft and smooth it sounded, the way he would stumble over his words because he was talking so passionately.

"Looks like this is our stop," Taehyung said, breaking Yoongi out of his trance.

Dropping the cloth bags filled with groceries Tae pulled out his dorm key and unlocked the wooden door. Soon entering Yoongi followed the boy into their kitchen where he placed the groceries on the table. Hearing Tae laugh again he looked behind him to see Jimin wrapped in a blanket almost waddling to them with sleepy eyes.

"You look terrible," Yoongi teased the younger.

"Wow, thanks. Now, why are you in my house?" Jimin rolled his eyes as he pulled out a vitamin packet from the grocery bags and opened it.

Tae was quick to smack the top of Jimin's head and scold him, "Be nice, he came to check on you."

Jimin's face remained frozen and soon enough a huge grin covered his face, "No way..." Not going into further explanation Jimin laughed and walked back to his room.

-

Jimin sat on his bed laughing as he came up with the conclusion that there was a possible romance blooming between his two friends.

Sure enough one of those friends walked into his room.

"I thought you died kid." Yoongi laughed as he jumped onto Jimins bed where he laid back staring at the ceiling.

"You wish, but here I am to live another day and make you buy me food." The blonde laughed.

"I'm leaving,"

"Hey!"

"You're right, I can't leave until I tell you some very important information," Yoongi who was pretending to exit the room turned around and walked back to Jimin.

"The spring festival is soon and Namjoon wants to invite you to play with us-"

"Yoongi I'm tired of singing-"

The idea of doing backgrounds vocals and being hidden away now irritated Jimin, after his boost in confidence recently he could no longer imagine himself doing it.

"Would you let me finish," Yoongi laughed at the others quick response. Jimin nodded and continued snacking on his smoothie while he listened. "He wants you to be the lead singer."

"Yoongi..."

"I know you and Jungkook have been working on things, but Jungkook hasn't talked to Namjoon since the fight. I know it's a hard decision, but Jimin this is a big event. Imagine how many opportunities would open up for you?"

"I can't that wouldn't be fair to him," The boy looked down at his hands as he twisted his fingers together fidgeting. He still cared about Jungkook just as much as before. He didn't like the possibility of hurting the other, despite his mistakes.

"It's up for you to decide, but we need an answer soon okay." Yoongi nodded his head understanding the other dilemma. Patting the bed softly he got up and walked out the door.

He was already sick, but not only did he feel sick... a wave of guilt washed over him.
