:canon compliant i think:

"Is everything okay?", Taehyung's voice came off the reciever,Jimin had laid his phone a bit far from him,on loudspeaker as he stared at the ceiling.It had been exactly 17 days since Jimin had been inactive and it wasn't just the social media,he had been avoiding texts.Both chat rooms and privates.Cause if he did check them, Taehyung would have gotten reply to atleast one of the thousand texts he send.Taehyung had cut him some slack cause this is how Jimin had always been like,he was the one who usually took these breaks in their literal meaning.He took long naps,visited wherever he could or just watched several hours of Netflix.But those never went past a week but it was 17 days now so he had finally given up his resolute and called Jimin up.

Not that he hadn't called before but this time he was insistent,kept calling till Jimin gave it up.Called up Jimin's parents  and brother and whined about how unfair it was to avoid his bestfriend and soulmate.And Jimin had taken the call.
"I'm fine,You worrywart",Jimin said,rolling off to the edge once more.
"How can I not worry,I missed you", Taehyung's sound came almost immediately.But Jimin didn't say anything.He smiled lightly.
"I said I missed you",Jimin can imagine Taehyung's pout and he gave in,"I heard you..I did too"
"Not enough to call me up,huh?", Taehyung said and Jimin just let out a tiny laugh.Knowing that was all that he could get,Taehyung said,"Army is missing you a lot too,they're trending hashtags"
"I saw..", Jimin mumbled,nothing more.No explanations on how it made him feel or what he'd do about it.Taehyung wasn't used to  conversations like this with Jimin,it just felt empty.And it hurt that Jimin was seeing everything,every messages in his chat room,every posts and comments Taehyung left but he wasn't curious,he didn't want to know.Taehyung wanted to know everything about Jimin's life but Jimin didn't want to know.Maybe it was the distance,maybe it was the way they hadn't been separated for so long before.

"When are you coming back?", Taehyung found his own voice, desperate .He wanted to see his bestfriend.
"whenever our schedule starts again"
"But there's no schedule planned yet"
"Yeah.."
Everything hurt.There was a distant call for Jimin's name and Jimin heeded.
"Tae,I gotta go.. Dad's calling",and Jimin didn't wait for a reply,the call was cut and Taehyung was left like that,a 'goodnight' unsaid.

..
There were only two phonecalls Jimin took immediately,one was of his manager and the other was the one he was in call with right then,Namjoon.Namjoon was updating what he was doing the previous day,he had been posting a lot of pictures in his account and had been sorting them from his past trips.

"You should come with me next time",Namjoon said and Jimin promised he would.
"Guys are worrying about you and Jin hyung is telling them you just like your sleep",Namjoon said and it was evident by the way he was breathing that he was walking.
"I do love my sleep but isn't Jin hyung worried? I been avoiding his calls too",Jimin said,swinging his legs off the balcony swing.
"He is and he comes to me in private about it.But since he knows you're still talking to me,he's a bit relieved.. jealous but relieved",
Jimin let out a laugh,his elder hyung was expected to be jealous ofcourse.
"Taehyung seems down",Namjoon said out of the blue causing Jimin's laugh to seize.Namjoon had promised himself to not mention the said name but he was great at slip ups,Namjoon bit his tongue right after.
"I picked up his call yesterday",Jimin sighed.
"Oh-"
"We didn't say much.I cut soon",and Jimin left it at that.Namjoon didn't ask further either and then they went onto things that doesn't matter but felt good to share.Namjoon had been his safety net for the longest time now and he was the first one to know that Jimin was in love with his soulmate,maybe Hoseok came close but when asked Jimin had denied.Namjoon was persistent and Jimin gave it up.

With someone knowing,things had been easier,ofcourse his childhood friend back in Busan knew but to have someone around whom he could let his gaurds down felt loads better.But it was this childhood friend's call that changed everything.
