Seven With You (BTS x Reader)

Part 17

When you arrive home you invite Jimin inside.

He sits on the sofa as you go clean yourself up and get dressed.

When you come back out you grab a bag of potato chips from the cupboard and plop down on the sofa beside him.

"That won't be very good for your stomach." He gives you a look of disapproval. 

"Give me a break, I'm really stressed out right now." You exhale.

"Alright." He laughs, reaching his hand into the bag and taking some. 

"So..." You furrow your brows in confusion. "Why were you outside of Jungkooks apartment at 6AM?"

"If I'm being honest..." He glances down as he speaks. "I followed you and Jungkook to the bar... watched the way he treated you through the night... and I didn't like the way he dragged you out of there so forcefully."

You watch him as he fiddles with his thumbs.

"So I followed you and waited outside in my car incase something happened..." He bit his lip. "I'm sorry, that sounds really creepy... doesn't it?"

"Maybe a little..." You tease. "But I'm glad you were there."

"So you said you were stressed and you ran out in a hurry... did something really happen?" He finally looks up at you, his eyes full of concern.

"We just had a bit of an argument, it's nothing." You dodge the question.

He places a hand on your back, rubbing it softly.

"Please talk to me Y/N, you'll feel much better if you do."

You sigh, bringing your knees up to your chest. You were unsure if it was a good idea to talk to Jimin about this, but he had made you feel comfortable.

"I'm struggling with my feelings... I'm torn between multiple people." You hug your legs. "They are all so good to me, but there are a couple that really stand out to me..."

"I want to pick one but I don't want to hurt the other." You glance down at the hand that your ring was once on. 

You see Jimin in the corner of your eye. He is listening quietly and attentively. 

"I should have just kept my distance... I knew this was a bad idea from the start.... this is a mess and it's all my fault."

"Don't blame yourself, Y/N." Jimin suddenly speaks up. "If everyone could control their emotions, life would be a lot less complicated." 

"At the end of the day all that you should be worrying about is taking care of yourself... if somebody gets hurt, they will heal with time..." He continues. "If they truly love you they will want to see you thrive... so all I can tell you is to follow your heart."

He looks down, deep in thought as he speaks. You could tell what he was saying was from the heart. 

"Youre right..." You sit back up. "Thank you, Jimin... I do feel better now." 

He smiles at you, a hint of sadness hidden in his eyes.

"That's good." He gets up, giving you one kast pat on the back. "I should get going, I bet you're tired..."

"Alright. Thank you so much for everything." 

"Anytime, Y/N." He nods. "Sleep well, and try not to dream about me... okay?"

He makes one last joke before waving goodbye and walking out the door.

You lay down on the couch, resting your bag of chips on your stomach and repeating the words Jimin had said.

Meanwhile, Jimin sits on the step of your apartment building. 

He reaches into his pocket, pulling out the ring he had picked up at the arcade.

"I really wanted to give this back to you, but I couldn't bring myself to do it..."

He sighs, rolling the ring around in his palm.

"It would be selfish of me to keep you from your happiness..." He shakes his head. "I should really give this back."

He pauses for a moment.

"Actually... I have a better idea."

He gets into his car, driving himself to a house.

He knocks on the door and waits patiently for an answer.

"What are you doing here so early?" J-Hope looks puzzled as he answers the door, he had obviously just woken up.

Jimin explains to him everything that had happened.

He holds out his hand, passing J-Hope the ring from his pocket.

"Although I can't be with Y/N, I would like to be their biggest supporter." He smiles. "And I believe that nobody could make them happier than you."

"Thank you Jimin... you truly are a great friend."
