Dark clouds settled under his warm brown eyes and blocked its light. Droplets of rain leaves a mud of pain and across his (once bubbly) cheeks, was a trail of running salty water.

This was not the ideal scenario he had set for today. The morning came and now, he has to deal with a storm in him. "Why didn't it work?" He asked Hoseok with a broken voice.

"I was the problem, I'm sorry," Hoseok says and Jimin forms a fist with both his hands, as if holding the pieces of his heart. "Stop with that bullshit."

He's not stupid. For fucks sake, he wasn't born yesterday. It was not like he has not read things or watched movies where one of the character say that. And with his last strength, "I'd rather you leave now than make these excuses. You fell out of-" he paused. Fell out of love? Was there even love? "Just leave, I get it." His words were straightforward and merciless but inside, he was hoping that Hoseok would stay. That he would take back his words and tell him that he actually loves him.

He retreats his hands from the table of the restaurant. The very restaurant where their first date was...and their last too. Jimin clutches the sleeves of his sweater while he watches his, now ex-boyfriend, Hoseok leave with hesitating steps.

A sudden struck of thundering pain shot through him. All of this...caused him their precious 13 years of friendship.

"But I still want you..."

Yoongi watches carefully from the corner how Jimin cries. "Hyung? Why don't you just go to him?" Jungkook speaks for the first time with his mouth full of food. He adverts his gaze to Jungkook who was busy stuffing his face with food Yoongi is going to have to pay. "I don't think I can do that anymore, kookie."

The boy wipes his mouth with a napkin. "Then why did we have to be here?" His full attention was now on his hyung.

"Just to make sure he doesn't do anything stupid. He loves that boy so much..."

"I thought you said they broke up and got together...many times? Isn't now your chance?"

Yoongi sighs and takes a bite of his own food. "I'm just his friend. He's in love with him no matter what. I think you get the point already."

"No I don't? It's obvious you love him more," the boy talks back and watches Jimin. "Look at him, hyung. If he loved him, he wouldn't put him in pain may times. You said it yourself."

Yoongi watches Jimin get ready to leave so he hurries Jungkook to eat faster. The poor boy almost choked but still thanked his hyung for the treat.

"Uhm, hyung? Isn't this the the way to your house?"

Jungkook asks as he stared out the window of Yoongi's car. "It is," he says amazed by how easily Jungkook remembered even if he just arrived in the city yesterday. Yoongi drives faster to make sure they arrive first than Jimin.

"Should I stay in the guest room?" The younger boy asks. "Yeah, I don't want him to feel awkward. Just introduce yourself some other time," Yoongi says still focused on the road.

They arrive in front of Yoongi's house with ragged breaths and they ran, because Yoongi said so.

~♡~

Jimin parks behind his Yoongi-hyung's car and rushes to the front door when he feels water drops on his skin. He knocks on the door and almost wanted to disappear when he sees Yoongi holding a boy's wrist. The two boys' cheeks were red from running(and Jimin unfortunately doesn't know that). "Sorry for interrupting, I-I'll come another time," he quickly says a little hurt...

"No-uh. It's okay, Jungkook was just about to leave."

Jimin feels even more terrible because he didn't mean to interrupt them at all. He sees the boy whining. The guy must hate me now.

But, what he doesn't know, was that Jungkook was suppose to be in the guest room. He doesn't really have a place to go to. His Yoongi hyung is the only person he knows and it was drizzling. He sighs in defeat and gives a worried smile to Jimin. Where the heck was he supposed to stay? He was a stranger to this neighborhood.

Which the boy, interpreted the smile as a very intimidating one. Oh god, he thinks I'll steal his Yoongi-hyung, I didn't even know he was dating someone!? He suddenly wants to cry harder.

"Please, come in," Yoongi opens the door wider and steps aside for Jimin. "I'm really sorry," Jimin kept apologizing but Yoongi just kept insisting that is was completely fine that he came, which it is, Jimin just happens to be apologizing for something else. Which was, interrupting his date, but Yoongi didn't know that.

"What happened?" Yoongi asked as he gives Jimin a glass of water knowing how much he must have cried. "Hoseok. He- well he broke up with me...(and your suddenly dating someone!?)"

Yoongi sighs knowing what was to come. And he's worried, not only for Jimin but with his own stupid emotions but he burries that somewhere deep.

He had to be a friend to Jimin first so he sits down and pats Jimin's back. The younger boy was now sobbing and resting his head on his shoulder. No one said another word, Yoongi let Jimin cry until he can't anymore while he hides the cracks of his own heart knowing Jimin will always love Hoseok anyway, or will he?

~♡~

Night time came and Jimin was the first to talk. "You have alcohol in here? I think I'll need a lot."

Yoongi nods his head. They have been drinking buddies so of course, Yoongi invested a lot in drinks if it was for Jimin too.

They were sat on a bar stool, rows of different types of alcoholic drinks on the island counter.

Two bottles went from four to ten in a few hours. Yoongi, now had his cheeks red and he just can't stop smiling when he looked at Jimin whose face was red too.

"Chiminie... Chiminie loves Yoonie!"

Jimin giggles and Yoongi too. They drink in silence again and the air between them turned thick. "I love you," Jimin says and Yoongi, even when drunk, still knew that it didn't mean much. So he calmed his feelings down, knowing that they were just friends.

"I don't...haha...I don't understand you. Do you not love Chiminie? Say it back," Jimin pouts.

"I love you," Yoongi says, heart breaking because this only happens when they were drinking and Jimin will always forget, but he won't. Because, those three words finally meant something to Yoongi when Jimin came in his life.

He laughs again.

He'll love Jimin as long as he lets him even if it will hurt.
