Jimin opened the front door when he heard a knock. He smiled when the men that would be moving his things greeted him and asked to go inside.

He was happy that he would be living with the man that he loved, but a twinge of regret still sat on his chest. He felt heavy as he turned around and saw his brother staring at him in disbelief.

"You're moving out?" Jihyun watched men walk into their apartment and leave with his brother's things with teary eyes.

"Yeah... I'm going to live with Yoongi." Jimin scratched the back of his neck. "But I'll visit all the time!" The blond hugged the younger when he noticed tears rolling down his face.

"B-But it won't be the same." Jihyun cried. "I need you here."

"I said I'll be here all the time, Ji. After school I'll stop by, okay? And I'll ask Yoongi if you and Tae and Hobi can come over too."

Jihyun clutched onto the back of Jimin's shirt. "You promise?" He mumbled.

"I swear I'll see you all the time. It'll be like I never left." Jimin chuckled and kissed his brother's cheeks. "And y'know, Yoongi has a pool." Jimin sang and watched Jihyun's face light up.

He knew his brother loved to swim. He also knew that Jihyun would be over all of the time now, not that he minded. But he still felt the heaviness on his chest. He still had to tell Taehyung and Hoseok the news, but they weren't home.

Jihyun wiped his eyes and pulled away from Jimin. "Does Tae know?" He asked.

"No... I was gonna wait until he got back but he said that he's working late." Jimin frowned and glanced behind him when the last man walked out with the last bit of his things.

"It's so weird." He murmured as he stepped into the empty bedroom. The only things that were left were a few extra clothes hangers and a Polaroid that was tacked up on the wall. Jimin took it down and teared up as he looked down at it.

It was a picture of him, Jihyun, Taehyung, and Hoseok all unpacking their things after they had first moved in. He handed it over to his brother with a sniffle.

"Keep it." He shrugged.

"No, you keep it."

"No, you."

"I'll keep it."

The two turned around and faced Hoseok. "You weren't gonna let me know?" He extended his arms and Jimin went in for the hug.

"I'm gonna miss my cuddle buddy." Jimin laughed quietly and patted his friend's back.

"I got off early! And I'm starving so let's- woah." Taehyung ran into the bedroom but stopped in his tracks when he saw that the room was completely empty.

"Did we get evicted!? I told you guys that rent was due!" Taehyung covered his mouth with his hands.

"No, stupid! Jimin is moving out." Jihyun smacked his boyfriend's arm with a sad smile. Taehyung slowly lowered his hands and frowned at Jimin who was still hugging Hoseok.

"You're leaving us? Why?"

"I'm moving in with Yoongi. But guys I'll visit every day. It'll be like I never left. I'll keep stealing your clothes and surprising you with burned ramen and hogging the bathroom." Jimin's voice broke toward the end. Tears streamed down his face as he pulled back from Hoseok's embrace.

"Maybe I should stay." He croaked.

The three boys quickly shook their heads and formed a group hug around their blond friend. It would definitely be different without Jimin there, but the three knew that he was starting his life with the love of his life. They would only hold him back and neither of them would try to do that.

"No, you need to go. You love Yoongi and I think we can live without burned ramen and reality television every night." Jihyun laughed through his tears.

The four boys laughed together and walked Jimin outside to Yoongi and his bike beside him.

"Take care of our Jimin." Taehyung crossed his arms over his chest.

"Don't worry, I will. You guys can come over too, anytime." The ravenette smiled and wrapped an arm around Jimin's waist securely.

Jihyun went in for another hug and after that, the couple rode off together.

"I call dibs on Jimin's room!" Hoseok grinned and ran back into the apartment. "You're barely even here!" Taehyung yelled and chased after him. "I should have it!" Jihyun whined as he followed.

They would be okay. They all would.
