When Jin pulled up to my house to drop me off, he was awfully silent. He hadn't said a word after claiming it was fine that I dated Jimin, and I knew that was a problem.

I didn't know what else I could do at this point. At least I told him and didn't hide it. That definitely would have made it worse. 

Just as I go to reach for the handle, he speaks.

"So, when I asked you in class what he needed to text you about, you lied?"

I sighed instantly, already feeling bad about that as is and even worse that he called me out for it. 

"I'm sorry, I just didn't want to tell you then because I wasn't sure how you'd react. I just didn't want to make you uncomfortable." I say and Jin looks over at me and shakes his head.

"I'm not going to lie, it makes me uncomfortable, yeah. If it was anybody else, it wouldn't matter...but you can't help how you feel so I'll just have to live with it." He sighs.

I look at him with sad eyes. "Are you really going to be okay with it though? I know he's your best friend but it just sort of happened, I didn't do it on purpose, I'm sorry."

Jin sits and stares at me for a second before he finally averts his gaze.

"I'll be okay. It's not like I have any say in who you date anyways. You're free to do whatever you please."

I watch him for a moment, taking in his words and the way he says them.

There's something in his tone of voice that makes my stomach sink.

I lean over and place my hand on his. He stiffens a bit.

"I know but you're my best friend, Jin. I care about your opinion more than anyone else's in this whole entire world. I just don't want to do anything to jeopardize our friendship."

Jin's eyes soften at my words as a small smile takes over his lips. 

"You won't, I promise. No matter what happens between the two of you, I'll always be rooting for you" he says, his hand still underneath mine. 

"Thank you, that means a lot. You're an amazing ex-boyfriend." I tease, allowing myself to crack another joke.

Jin's smile drops as he pulls his hand back. With his lips set in a straight line he grumbles,

"Get out of my car."

I giggle as I grab my bag and hop out of the car. I turn back towards him just in time to see him smiling to himself. 

I laugh to myself as I wave goodbye before I head inside.

No matter what happens, as long as Jin is cool with it all, I'm happy.

Later that night I receive a text message from Jimin.

I smile right away as I see him already trying to make plans. Of course, I'm quick to agree to them. 

I didn't care what we did as long as we finally got to hang out with the intent of being more than just friends.

This was all very exciting and new. Of course, I've had other boyfriends before but for some reason, I was just so excited to see where things went with Jimin.

Probably because I had liked him for a while and now it seemed he liked me back, so that was all very exciting. Not to mention, Jimin was quite literally one of the nicest people I've ever met. That made me even more excited because let's be honest, who doesn't want a nice guy? Jimin was everything I could ever want and more.

I was more than excited when we ended up making plans to grab lunch and see a movie after. We said we would figure the rest out as we went but I knew we would have fun no matter what we ended up doing.

There was one thing I wondered though...Usually after any dates I've had, Jin was cool with me telling him all about it, but I can't help but to feel this time is a little different.

I figure maybe it would be a little rude to tell him how my date with his best friend went. I know he said he was cool with me and Jimin trying this out, but I feel a little strange and uncomfortable about sharing the details with him this time. 

Maybe it's because of our past or just the simple fact that it's Jimin, his best friend for years now. Either way, it just didn't feel right so this I would make sure to keep to myself.

Being pulled from my thoughts, my phone goes off. It's a facetime call from Jin so of course I answer.

"Hey." I say as soon as I pick up the call. "What's up? I'm bored." Jin says on the other end. I can tell from this angle that he's hanging upside down off the edge of his bed.

"Nothing much I'm just sitting here." I laugh, turning over on my side so I can lay down.

"I know we have school tomorrow, but do you want to come stay the night?" Jin asks, moving so that he's sitting up straight.

I look at the time and see that it's late already. I laugh and shake my head. "Not tonight. Should have asked earlier."

"I figured you were probably with Jimin or something." He says, sounding uncomfortable.

"We made plans for another day, not today." I laugh and Jin nods slowly. "Well, I'm sure you guys will have fun." He says and I smile. "Yeah, We will."

Jin is silent for a moment before he shifts slightly. "Tell me how it goes, Okay?" He sounded unsure of what he just said.

I raise an eyebrow. "Won't that be weird for you?" I ask, coming back to my topic of concern from earlier.

"No. Maybe? I don't know." He says and I scoff a little. "That's why I didn't plan to go into detail. I don't want to make you more uncomfortable than you already are."

"I'm not-I'm...I'm fine, Y/n. You can still tell me these things. Sure, it'll be a little weird since you'll be talking about Jimin, but I'll just have to get used to it. It's fine." Jin says and although he's trying to convince me, it sounds more like he's trying to convince himself.

"Okay, sure." I say and leave it at that. "I'm going to head to bed though, I'll see you tomorrow bright and early for school."

"You'll have a ride?" Jin asks and I grin as I end the phone call with a quick,

"Yeah, you."
