He lifted an eyebrow at my response, surprised that I would actually listen. He then got closer to me, holding my gaze, and lifted his hand to hold the back of my head carefully. He whispered into my ear, feeling his warm breath melt my neck "You wo...

It made my mind twist around that question and think of any convenient reasons to give him. But I realised before I could give him an answer, I had to have an answer for myself too. I did have feelings for Taehyung, but it made me angry overall how everything ended in the blink of an eye.
"I believe I always will." I answered in a relaxed tone, Jimin had all the attention on me, knowing there were still many words I was about to let out. "I'll always have a soft spot y'know? Because he's been near me for so long and I cared...care for him a lot."
"Mhm." He let out. "Do you think there's a chance for you to move further and have a thing?"
"No."
"Why?"
"Why so many questions?" I asked confused. He never spoke more than mutual conversations to anyone. Or he did and I wasn't there.
"I'm curious. I don't know much about you."
I thought to myself why would he want to know things about me. He knew I disliked him because of all the mess him and Yeji went through. Or better said, the mess he caused her.
"You're the one I know the least about in this house." He added.
It was understandable, yet I never thought he'd want to get to know me. "I wouldn't give up a friendship to be with someone my friend likes."
I ran around my answer and tried to get a point out of it, at least for myself.
"But she seems to get close to Taehyung, considering you're her friend as well."
His eyes were locked on mine and mine on his as well. It took a few seconds for me to change my gaze, turning into a shocked one. He noticed and nodded at me softly "Oh my God." I whispered, feeling my eyes getting teary out of sudden. I felt as my heart stopped beating when the slightest realisation hit me.
A memory stroke by. The moment me and Jimin talked on the porch, when he made quite the same point he did in this moment. Only that, back then she wasn't - this - close to him as she was now.
"I know Yeji." He broke the silence. "I know her enough to know that she knows that you like him too. Don't be blind." He says to me and for one second, I felt like he was the closest to me in that entire house. He understood without saying anything and he watched all the story in silence, not getting into any discussion.
But why didn't he get involved until now?
"I only spoke to you because somewhere deep down, under that demon inside of you," I made a frown, making him giggle. "There's a kind soul."
And he was right. For some reason, under that madly annoying demon inside of him, there was once a soul that wanted the best for others. I couldn't understand why he hid so much and it felt like only now I have gotten to truly get under his skin. Maybe for his sake, it was a good thing.
