“Yes, Taehyung, he freaking snapped. He went all angry on me and started doubting that it was me who started the rumour or something.” Jimin looked very close to crying, as he sat on Taehyung's couch, furiously chugging down the yummy Japchae his bestfriend had cooked for the both of them earlier that evening.
“And you told me it was nothing urgent.” Taehyung sighed, scooting closer to Jimin, who shook his head.
“I thought it wasn't anything urgent for real, TaeTae. But now that I think of it, why'd he think that I'd do something like that?”
“Maybe he's just.. too stressed? Like he got his solo album coming up, Jiminie. And you know how protective he is, both with you and your relationship, right?” Taehyung put the bowl away from Jimin's hands, and intertwined their fingers, rubbing soothingly on his small knuckles.
Jimin bit his lip, “I..I know, okay? But, like.. I want us to come out as a couple too. I know it's not something people will accept, but.. nevermind.” He completed with a small huff, and Taehyung pulled Jimin into a hug, ignoring the fast beating of his heart.
“It's all gonna be okay, baby. You can talk to Jungkook about this, can't you?” He asked, caressing Jimin's soft hair.
“I did Tae. I tried to talk to him about this, but, he always ends up getting angry whenever I even try to initiate that conversation. He says we'll be destroyed within seconds if we do that.
And then, earlier today I asked him when can we get married. And he said that, if I can't wait for him, then can go find somebody else.” Jimin was sobbing the entire river Han by the time he completed his words, and Taehyung honestly felt bad for him.
He let him cry on his shoulder, not minding his shirt which was getting wet with Jimin's tears.
“I really can't believe he said all that, Mimi. But I'm sure he was just stressed, and.. he didn't mean any of what he said. He loves you, Chimmy.” He mumbled, trying his best to comfort his bestfriend, no matter how much it hurt himself to say all that. He wanted to tell Jimin that he deserves way better, but he didn't want to upset him any more than he already was.
“ I-I don't even know if he loves me or not, anymore. He just seems so distant, you know. No kisses, no late night soft talks, and definitely no love making. I don't know if he's just busy or if he has simply lost interest.” Jimin said, and Taehyung's eyes widened.
“Hey, Jimin, what are you even saying? Stop, babe. You're overthinking it, okay? Jungkook loves you, he does.” He cupped Jimin's face, looking straight into those beautiful brown eyes, which now had unshed tears in them.
“I really hope he still does. Because, I love him more than love myself even, Tae. I'll be absolutely broken if he leaves me.” Jimin confessed, and even though it hurt Taehyung, he smiled.
“I know you do, baby. And don't worry, you both are a match meant in heaven. You're going to be okay. Absolutely okay.”
Jimin hummed, rubbing his tears away. “God, I'm so sorry I spoilt your Gucci, soulmate.” He said, but Taehyung laughed it off. “Hush little birdie. I don't mind anything if it's you. Now go to sleep. You need it.”
Jimin pouted, shaking his head softly. “What do you mean go to sleep? I'm not supposed to sleep on you, and that too, on this couch, am I?” He asked, and Taehyung clicked his tongue, rolling his eyes playfully.
“Fine. Let's go to my room, then. We can cuddle and then go to sleep. Its been months since we had some 'Bestfriends cuddling time anyways'.” He said, and Jimin gave it a thought, before happily nodding. “Alright!”

“Man, I never realised missed this so much until now, Mimi.” Taehyung said to the small angel in his arms, who just giggled, nodding. “I know right. We should definitely do this often. Remember our silly story times?”
Taehyung laughed, “I know right. Next time, let's be ready with some stories to tell, okay? But, for now, Chim, just go to sleep.” He placed his hand on Jimin's eyes, who just chuckled, humming, “Okay, okay, fine let's just sleep.”
But then he was woken up the next second when Taehyung practically screamed in his ear, “WAIT, WAIT, BEFORE THAT, LET'S TAKE A PICTURE OKAY? I'll post it in my instagram.”
Jimin sighed, knowing that if Taehyung said it, he'll most definitely do it. “Okay, okay.” He rolled around on his back, while Taehyung fetched his phone from the bedside table. He then opened his camera app, and said, “Pose for it, little birdie!”
And then, 'click', he clicked the picture. “Perfect, I love it!” He smiled at the picture, while Jimin just smiled at Taehyung, and then went to sleep at once. He was tired- very tired.
“Jim-” Taehyung called for Jimin to see the picture, but he smiled wider when he realised his little birdie had already gone to sleep.
“Sleep tight, birdie.” He leaned in, pressing a small kiss on Jimin's temple, and then going back to his phone, to post that picture in his Instagram.

“Perfect” He said, smiling at his phone once more, before going to sleep while hugging his best friend.
