Chapter 4

Jimin bounced from excitement and nerves as he, Yoongi, and Namjoon stood in the lounge just outside the booth he would soon be using for his first ever radio show. "You think it'll go okay?" Jimin asked the experience DJs. "Like, do you think the listeners will like me?"

"They'll love you~" Namjoon assured the younger male, unable to hide his smirk as he noticed Jimin staring at Yoongi as if waiting for his opinion.

"You'll do amazing." Yoongi told Jimin. "You've been preparing pretty much 24/7 since you got the call." He gestured to the papers Jimin was currently holding that outlined the agenda of the show, which he had been studying and making notes for since he was offered the show. "And you'll be a hit, trust me."

Jimin beamed at the older male's words as a staff member walked up to inform him he needed to head into the booth. "Time to go~" He squealed a bit as another wave of excitement hit him, leaning up to press his lips to Yoongi's before rushing into the booth and sitting down in the chair.

Yoongi smiled as he watched Jimin through the window, the younger male going over his papers again in the few minutes he had before he would go on air. "Have you talked to him about the boyfriend thing again?"

Yoongi had confided in Namjoon a few days earlier about what had been going on between himself and Jimin. Not that he'd planned on ever talking to Namjoon about his relationship with Jimin again, after the whole boyfriend fiasco, but when the younger male had asked him how things were going and looked at him with his intense 'I'm always here for you' look, Yoongi hadn't been able to keep from spilling everything to him. And by everything, he meant everything. "No, definitely not~" Yoongi said. "I don't want to bring it up again, because I feel like he might freak out again, and it doesn't seem like he wants to talk about it anytime soon. So, I'm just leaving it."

Namjoon sighed and shook his head slightly. "That's no way to have a relationship with someone." Yoongi opened his mouth to start on his usual rant but Namjoon cut him off. "Any kind of relationship, even just a sexual one. Communication is always the most important thing. And you two definitely need to work on your communication. Especially since you obviously want more."

"We communicate just fine." Yoongi insisted, then suddenly registered what Namjoon had ended his spiel with. "And who says I want more with Jimin?"

Namjoon gave the older male a flat look. "You are totally obvious, Yoongi."

"And once again, you are wrong, Namjoon."

"Yoongi, we've been friends since high school." Namjoon deadpanned. "In all of the years you've known me, how many times have I actually been wrong?"

Yoongi wanted to say when Namjoon had said that Jimin was his boyfriend, but seeing as that was the only instance he could think of when the younger male had been wrong, he opted to stay quiet and focus on Jimin, who was now starting his first radio show.

The show went great, and from the reactions of the listeners who called into the show, it was obvious Jimin was a hit. He was also a natural in the booth, flowing into the different segments with ease and with no awkwardness present. Yoongi and Namjoon both watched through the window with pride, Namjoon because his soft spot for the younger male always made him immensely happy whenever Jimin had a success, and Yoongi because he knew just how badly Jimin wanted to do exactly this. All three parties were mentally planning where to go to celebrate the success of Jimin's first show.

And then it happened.

"I'm sorry to say that I'll have to go soon, but don't be too sad, I'll be back for more another day." Jimin giggled into the microphone. "Okay, let's listen to one more caller before I go." Jimin pressed a button on the screen to open a line, barely getting a greeting out before the person was speaking.
