Taehyung wiggled his eyebrows at Jimin who was red because of the confession he had said to the younger.

"Jiminie hyung has a crush!! -"

"In what 'no screaming about it' didn't you understand?" Jimin hissed and hid his head under his arms.

While Taehyung snickered about it, Jungkook and Yoongi arrives with their lunch, completely oblivious about what Jimin and Taehyung was talking about just earlier.

Jungkook cock a brow to Taehyung and points his head towards Jimin. "What happened to him?" He whispered. But Yoongi could hear it, he was just beside him, after all.

"I'll tell you all about it later," he winks at Jungkook and kept kicking Jimin at the foot, as a signal that he is still not done teasing about it.

"Care explaining it to me too, Taehyung?" Yoongi said, his voice muffled because of the food in his mouth.

Taehyung almost chocked, but kept a stable reaction. He shakes his head, and stick out his tongue out, Yoongi rolled his eyes before nudging Jimin at the elbow.

"Minie," he poked him at the head.

"He even have a nickname for you-!!" Taehyung squealed in his palms, because he of course, wouldn't let Yoongi know it was him. But, like, giving him hints too.

Jimin gave him a glare and sighed. He is now regretting it telling him who is this 'crush' of him.

"Minie, eat," Yoongi says, giving him some of the strawberries he had bought.

Jimin gladly takes it and mutter a thanks before taking a bite from the box and kept his eyes at Taehyung and Jungkook, who shifted a different table, so just that Taehyung could gossip it to Jungkook.

"What's up with those two?" Yoongi asked, pointing at the giggling younger's.

Jimin shrugged, trying to keep his 'cool'. By stuffing almost all the strawberries in his mouth, but stopped because of the older holding his wrist and make him halt at his actions.

"Jimin, do you wanna choke?"

After he said that, Jimin found it, rather, a wrong word for him. He choked on the strawberries, while the two laughed beside them and Yoongi trying to calm him down by patting his back and giving him some water.

"D-did I said something wrong??" Yoongi asked worriedly.

Jimin shakes his head no, and breathes in and out. When he looked at the older looking at him in a worried, but soft gaze, he got embarrassed because of his reaction by his words and rapidly stood up.

"Bathroom! I-I gotta go to the bathroom!"

While the two can't contain their laughter, every students got irritated because of it and looked at their direction. Jimin's head was red as the strawberries, and Yoongi looks at him, confused but nodded in response.

After that, Jimin rushed through the bathroom and locked the door, breathing heavily at the air he had been not releasing. He looked at himself at the mirror, and touched his like beet root red face. He breathes in and out before splashing himself water and closed the faucet, before drying his face with his handkerchief and opened the door, he was about to get inside again at the cafeteria, but the bell rang, he did not realized he had spent too much time at the bathroom?

Well, thankfully, he only needed to go at his last subject and leave school. So that, he can finally get some rest. But as he thought that, he didn't expect what will happen at the very next hour.

"I'll see you at house later kookie, okay?"
Taehyung pecks Jungkook at the forehead, Jungkook just responded with a pout and left with the elder who patted him at the back and bid bye at the two.

Jimin unlocked his front door, and as soon as it is open, Taehyung came inside first, and removing his shoes. The first thing he sees is the picture frames that are hung all over Jimin's wall, even at the coffee table, he stared confused when a few pictures were only with a woman, but the rest were jut Jimin and he assumed was, his father. He wondered where, why, and who is that woman in those two picture frames.

Jimin approached him and pointed at the woman in the frame, "That's my mother, " hr mumbled softly.

Taehyung looked at the other with worried, but curious eyes. "If you don't mind me asking, what.. happened to her? I'm sorry if it is too personal." He slightly lowered his head in shame.

Jimin shook his head, "It is fine. I can tell,"

Taehyung nodded and waited for him to start. Jimin first, takes a deep breath and cleared his suddenly dry throat. "She got into an accident when I was still 6 years old. A drunken man had lost control with the break, and ended up crashing upon my mother, well, mother is isn't just the one who was affected by the accident. They were two teenage boys walking in that same road and same time as her, the sad part is, only one died, and the other one is only bruised over his arms and head, the other one who died, completely protected him. I felt bad for them." He sighed sadly. Feeling that heavy feeling on his chest, again.

The younger seems to feel the upset feeling from Jimin, that he surprised him with a hug, tight. Jimin of course, returned it, too, they stayed like that for a moment, when Taehyung remembered why was he here again, and needed to 'help' the older with something he had an idea about.

He held the older against his shoulder and made him face him. He smiled, trying to cover the sad feeling that Jimin is feeling right now. Thankfully, it did, Jimin smiles and tilted his head to the side just lightly, he knew the younger does have a reason why he is here without a sudden reason.

"Hyung, I'm going to help you confess your feelings to Yoongi hyung tomorrow," he blurted out.

Jimin squirms, getting off his grasps. "No way in hell!"

"Oh yes you shall!! I know hyung feels the same thing as you, Jiminie," he said with a softer tone now. Jimin peaked over his closed eyes and sighed.

"How.. how would you even know? He doesn't even look at me like I look at him, like, I know he adores me-"

"He does adores you hyung, a lot! When we became friends with hyung, he can't help but talk about you everytime we hung out. It's quite sickening, but he looks so happy and cute when he's talking about how you laugh, and made him feel better and forget about the troubles he has." He nudge the older teasing.

Jimin blushed at the statement. "Oh! And he did completely change when he starts talking about you, hyung,"

"What do you mean?"

Taehyung chuckles, "Well.. he had been asking us to hang out, or he's been kind of, kind to us. I wasn't actually fond with it, but it sure does feel good. You Jimin, sure does wonders to him."

"I.."

"You don't have to say something, just think about it, I know he will not just break your heart like that, hyung, I know Yoongi hyung, you had changed his life ever since that day."

Jimin looked down, pursing his lips to stop smiling so widely about it.

"So.. how will you help me about all this?" Jimin muttered.

Taehyung smirked. "Simple, ask him to a date."

Jimin immediately shakes his head, "Noo! I'm- not good at those things, Tae! I-I might ruin it and-and–"

"Calm down hyung," Taehyung rolled his eyes. "I know just right how will you do it. Even if you did act akward, I know hyung will do something about it. He even said you look cute when akward."

Jimin slapped him at the arm, and listened to Taehyung's 'mission'.

He just hopes it won't go wrong, like how will his scenarios is going on right now.
