If I Can't Have Him...

Besties

"I just need to find a guy that is decent looking, has a job, and doesn't care that I live with my best friend so I don't have to worry about him getting jealous all of the time" Yoongi complained and rolled his eyes as he and Jimin sat across from one another in the café "he really snapped at me over this and now he's ghosted me for three weeks!"

"Unfortunately Yoongs it isn't the first time one of our partners got jealous, and it won't be the last" Jimin sighed and tucked the straw of his drink between his lips

"I know" he nodded and crossed one leg over the other, casually bumping Jimin's sneaker with his own "I just don't know where people find partners that aren't controlling jealous douchebags. I wish I wasn't gay, I feel like women would be easier to deal with"

Jimin snorted at that and moved his drink to the side before he could accidentally send it flying across the table "I doubt it" he laughed so hard, his shoulders shook, and his eyes disappeared Yoongi had no idea the face he used to make back in high school whenever a girl would even attempt flirting with him. The idea of Yoongi liking a girl romantically was hysterical to Jimin

"Laugh it up all you want, but I'm serious. You dated a girl once, how was it?"

"She didn't have a dick Yoongs" he shrugged like that was all the answer he needed

But Yoongi understood and nodded "yeah.. good point"

And it did make sense. Yoongi and Jimin knew each other better than anyone in the history of the universe has ever known another. Their mothers were best friends since first grade, so naturally, Yoongi and Jimin have been best friends since before they did anything more than sleep and cry. In every moment of their lives, they've always had one another.

At twenty-eight years old, Yoongi is a photographer. He loves his job, it's always been his passion.

At twenty-eight years old, Jimin is an ER nurse. He loves his job, helping people has always been his passion.

The two of them live in an upscale apartment, neither families ever struggled with cash, and the two best friends earned more than enough on their own that combined it just made more sense to stick together the same way they always have. Even packing up their lives together and moving to NYC from Seoul so that they could be themselves freely.

"This is like...the tenth person to ghost me though Min. Maybe it's just me? I'm not even worth a proper breakup. A phone call? A text? Tell me to fuck off to my face at least"

"Aw Yoongs" he pouted and reached for his hand, Yoongi intertwined their fingers immediately "it isn't you baby, I promise. You're amazing and any man would be lucky to have you"

"Thanks Min" he smiled softly, his best friend's words didn't do much though to erase the ache in his chest. He wasn't in love with Felix, but he thought they were going pretty strong. They'd been together for seven months, that was longer than almost anyone else he'd dated before and he was excited to see where it went.

They had so much in common, and Felix made him feel loved. It caught him off guard when Felix snapped about his relationship with Jimin. Even after Yoongi had sworn on his life and before God that nothing had ever happened between them. Not even a kiss. It was never enough though to put anyone's mind at ease. But he swore to himself that the right person would accept their close relationship and he would never put anyone before Jimin.

And after Felix apologized, told Yoongi he loves him, made love to him and promised to pick him up later that night for a date... he didn't show up. Didn't answer his calls or his texts, and even had his brother lie to Yoongi's face saying "I haven't seen him in over a week Yoongi. He said he was busy and that was that" he had shrugged and Yoongi began to realize that Felix was just like every other shitty boyfriend he'd ever had.

The best friends finished their drinks, Yoongi picked up his camera bag and Jimin sighed as he checked the time on his phone "duty calls"

"Same. I'll be home before you so I'll cook" Yoongi smiled as he stood, he ruffled Jimin's hair and gave him a hug as the nurse stood up and smiled

"Love you Yoongs"

"Love you too Min. Go save lives" he chuckled as they parted ways.
