September 2013

It took him several months to plan, AKA, stress out about every potential aspect of, his conversation with Hobi. He had been wracked with guilt for months now, knowing that Hoseok had been honest with all of them, felt like he HAD to be honest with all of them to be in a group with them...and yet Jimin hadn't been honest back.

He thought back to Hobi that day. He had just said: "I am gay." like he was completely certain and knew exactly what he was called... Jimin was jealous of his sureness in choosing words...

The only person who "knew" about Jimin was Taehyung, and they had never even talked about it. It was just certain understanding glances he made or teasing remarks, usually about Jungkook, but out of the ear of anyone else which is how Jimin knew that he knew it wasn't just a joke. Taehyung teasing him was his way of showing him that he accepted him and Jimin had always understood that... But. They had never actually talked about it out loud.

What am I called? thought Jimin to himself. He liked making the fangirls blush almost as much as the fanboys, but that's not love, he thought bitterly.

But he couldn't deny Jungkook. He just wanted to be around him. He wanted to make him laugh, make him smile...he was his favorite target for teasing or eliciting blushes..

He had over-thought the conversation with Hobi a million times, because it was like a conversation he had never had with himself either. What words did he use? What exactly should he say?

But when the moment finally happened, it really came down to just being brave.

He came home later than everyone else, as usual. He had channeled his guilt about his lack of honesty with Hobi into intensive practices that seemed more like a punishment, often staying past midnight even when they had to wake for busy schedules at 6 am the next day.

This day he came in at 10pm to find Hobi cooking alone in the kitchen.

"Hey Hyung, where is everyone else?"

"RM and Suga are working in the office, and the Maknaes are tucked into their beds." Hobi put his hands on his hips with maternal care. "The little angels" He said with a big smile and a cackle.

Jimin laughed. "What about Jin?"

JHope laughed. "He is a Maknae in a Hyung's body." Jimin snorted and sat down to share the food with Hobi that he had made.

The food tasted amazing and Jimin realized he hadn't eaten all day. "Jesus, Hyung, this is amazing. I think I was starving." He just realized he had been shaking for hours.

JHope looked at him with concern, "Jiminah, you have to take better care of yourself. You are an Idol now, not a stupid kid. Big Hit and all of us have a lot invested in you." Jimin squirmed, feeling worse than ever, and Hobi's tone softened and he paused a minute.

"Jiminah I'm really glad you are here eating with me," he said, grabbing his hand and squeezing.

Jimin suddenly realized that this was the moment, and he lost his appetite and put the bowl down. He sat there frozen.

"Jimin? What's wrong?" asked Hobi, sensing his changed mood. Jimin looked into his concerned eyes and just started talking, words spilling out.

"Hyung, I'm sorry. I...I haven't been honest with you." Jimin swallowed hard. "Last year, you were honest with us," he met his eyes knowingly.." and, I ... I haven't been honest with you."
