THE DAWN - VMIN ONE SHOTS

ONLY US

The scuffle of his boots on the pavement rang in tune with the thumbing of his heart that shriveled inside of him for letting taehyung walk away from him like that.

He is so stupid, so foolish for pretending that the sight of his best friend never caused his heart to tremble like a leaf in the cold.

Foolish for ever making taehyung believe that he never meant anything more to him when the thoughts of taehyung was the only thing that occupied his mind all day long.

He is so fucking stupid for not admitting that he longed for taehyung.

Retracing his steps in haste, jimin decided to run in order to get to the younger before he once again disappeared from his life.

Maybe jimin only did learn taehyung was in love with him a month ago, the confession murmured with a husky voice into the dip of his neck causing his heart to stutter unceremoniously.

Jimin was drunk that time but taehyung wasn't, so no matter how hard jimin tried to erase that whisper from his head, taehyung's trembling voice and sigh rang in his head like a broken record.

Maybe jimin only got to know a part of the truth that was always left bare for him in plain sight.

He was admittedly, blind to the love that was only ever his to begin with.

Idiot.

Turning around the corner, he huffed a breath for running the long distance in such a short time, raising his head to catch a glimpse of that one mop of head amongst the sea of people wandering the streets.

Taehyung's back was turned to him, his broad shoulders clad in a brown coat that reached past his knees, silky hair strands waving lightly in the cold winter breeze.

The street was illuminated in anticipation of christmas, a blend of red and green greeting every eyes, the buzz of christmas spirit ingrained in any soul one would come across even though it was only the start of december.

Taehyung's figure was stuck to the side of the foot path, still facing away from him and jimin sprinted to the taller, uncaring of all the people he bumped into, footsteps halting to a sudden stop only after reaching his best friend.

Taehyung turned around in time to see a panting jimin with his hands on his knees to support himself, the hood on top of his head fluttering down to the back of his nape as jimin regained his composure and adjusted his outfit to stand tall and stare at him.

Taehyung looks handsome under the dim street lamp, smooth streaks of curly hair covering his forehead, tips of his nose and ear a slight red from the cold, the tiny mole on the petal pink lips enticing and beckoning him forward.

Jimin feels breathless with how strikingly beautiful his best friend is, long legs clad in cream linen and a green sweater underneath the large coat looking so much as the definition of a cuddly bear.

His baby bear.

'Taeh-taehyung' jimin began, unable to mask the quivering in his lips when taehyung's warm eyes morphed into worry on seeing him as a mess.

The taller surged forward, grabbing onto jimin's forearms and stepping close to him, eyes searching jimin's face and the worried glint in taehyung's eyes made jimin receptive of how silly he was for avoiding the obvious.
