his only friend- a yoonmin ff

no thanks

The next day, Jimin invites his roommate to go eat lunch together like he usually does whenever he stays at someone else's place for the night. It has become some sort of ritual. Whatever Jimin sees in Yoongi, they always end up spending at least half an hour together each and every day, just talking about random stuff. 

Yoongi really enjoys these moments. 

They mean a lot to him, show him that Jimin hasn't lost interest in spending time with him as a friend. 

Call him needy, insecure or socially awkward, Yoongi is just one of those guys who actually need to be told that they're interesting enough to spend time with... or call it childhood trauma... it's just that the older has never had many friends and never really tried making any, so he simply doesn't know how to handle this stuff. And with Jimin doing all that without questioning him means the world to the older. 

Yoongi's palms start sweating immediately when seeing how many people gathered to wait in line. But as soon as he sees his only friend, his troubled expression swiftly shifts into a happy one. With his gummy smile on full display, he approaches Jimin who's already holding two trays for them in his small hands. 

They don't talk much at first. 

Yoongi doesn't question it, Jimin just seems to be deep in thought--- until they place their order. That's when the younger's eyes suddenly seem nervous, jumping through the room, avoiding Yoongi's gaze at any cost. His hands - and tray - tremble slightly, and Yoongi doesn't know how to behave or what to say. It's annoying, and he just wants Jimin to freaking say what he needs to say. 

"Yah, Jimin-ah... What's with you today?"

Jimin quickly looks the other way, catching one of the tables straight ahead, and as soon as Yoongi follows his gaze, he freezes. 

Jimin is looking at his friend's table. What are their names again? 

The broad-shouldered guy's name's Jin and the tall, dimple-smile guy is Namjoon. Then there's that bouncy brown-haired one who's called Ho...something. Hoseok! That'sit! Aaand the one with tattoos and piercings is Jeongguk, he thinks - and then there's Taehyung with a boxy smile and stunning looks. 

And of course they're all surrounded by girls. Jimin's girlfriend is there too, already piercing the older male with a glare. 

Yay.

Yoongi has never been fond of the popular kids. They only ever caused him trouble. 

He remembers the popular kids from high school and it never ended well. Yoongi would always end up getting bullied for being called and treated as the "weirdo", the "fag".

Jimin snaps him out of these painful memories by speaking up and Yoongi's heart sinks as soonas his mind starts tofocus on the younger's words. 

"Hey, um... wanna sit with the rest of the guys today?"

Yoongi looks at Jimin as if he just spoke alien language. 

"...say what now?"

The younger male fiddles with his tray while taking another nervous breath.

"They asked me to join them today, and I ditched them the other day and now I feel really bad about it but I also promised you to---"

"Jimin, you're the one who asked me to eat lunch with you toda---"

"I know, okay? I just don't know what to do!! I don't wanna disappoint either of you, so... do you wanna come? They kept asking me to introduce you to them anyways, and you could use some other friends if we're being honest, right? This could be fun...? I mean, they're really nice, and---"

"No."

The older steps away from his best friend, not believing what Jimin just tried to make him do. 

He knows that Yoongi is more than just antisocial! He simply can't make any other friends! He can't. His anxiety won't let him! And Jimin asking him to sit with him and his other friends not only makes him feel angry and anxious as fuck, but unwanted as well. 

Jimin doesn't want to sit with Yoongi today. For the first time in two years, he'd rather sit with the popular kids.  

Fuck, why does it hurt so bad even thinking about it?

Whatever. Yoongi, you don't need that kind of drama... just play it cool, sit your ass down, eat that crab they call lunch, and leave. 

So he sits alone on the opposite side of the cafeteria, genuinely annoyed by Jimin's girlfriend's fake laugh, until he just can't take it anymore. He gets up, throws his half-eaten meal in the trash and angrily stomps out the door.

Yes, Jimin's girlfriend is fake as hell and he hates her. 

Yes, Yoongi doesn't even want to get to know his other friends.

...and yes, he's very much jealous of them all.
