If I Can't Have Him...

Plans

Yoongi parked his car in his designated spot and grabbed all of his gear before heading into their apartment complex. He smiled at the doorman and took the elevator up to their floor. Stepping in, he deposited his things and went straight to the kitchen to cook for Jimin.

He played his music through his speaker and smiled as he began cooking. While he had the stuff in the oven his phone vibrated, he checked it and flushed at the massive smile that spread across his face

Jeongguk: Hi hyungie!
Jeongguk: I'm so happy we met today, sorry in advance, but I'm going to annoy you and demand that you spend time with me

He chuckled and shook his head. Jeongguk was the same age as him and Jimin, but with Yoongi being the oldest (only by a few months) Jeongguk had always called him hyung.

Yoongi: no need to apologize Jeongguk, I'm looking forward to spending time with you. I'm happy we met today too.

Butterflies swarmed his stomach at the cheesey admission

Jeongguk: Good 😁😁😁
Jeongguk: are you guys free tomorrow?

Yoongi: I am, but Jimin works a double at the hospital

Jeongguk: He's a doctor! Thats fucking amazing! He's always been so smart!

He chuckled

Yoongi: A nurse, but yes! He's always been super smart and he loves his job more than anything

Jeongguk: I'm so happy for him!
Jeongguk: would you like to do lunch tomorrow?
Jeongguk: it's okay if you want to wait for Jimin, I'd understand 😊

Yoongi: No need to wait, I'd be happy to go to lunch with you 😌

Jeongguk: great! Well catch up then
Jeongguk: ttyl hyungie!

Yoongi: see you then Gukkie 🥰

He smiled the rest of the time he spent cooking, and when Jimin walked in from work Yoongi beamed "Guess who I ran into today!"

"Who?" Jimin asked as they hugged and he let the tension roll off his body

"Jeongguk!" Yoongi smiled as they separated and he grabbed the dishes to set the table

"Jeon Jeongguk? That's awesome! Where was he?"

"At the shelter, he's a veterinarian with his own practice and volunteers at the shelter"

"That's incredible! It's been years!"

"That's what we said!" The two best friends were smiling as they sat down to eat together like they tried to do every night "we swapped numbers, he wants to see you, he and I are doing lunch tomorrow while you're at work"

"Boo" he pouted as he shoved some food into his mouth

"I know, but there will be plenty of opportunities for the three of us to hang out"

Jimin smiled around his food and nodded his head, once they were finished eating, the two worked like a well oiled machine to clear the table and clean up the mess in the kitchen. They took turns showering, and eventually flopped down on their couch together to watch another new episode of their drama.

It was the perfect way to unwind after a long day, Yoongi's wasn't half as long as Jimin's, but he knew how to cheer him up and make sure that he was okay. Eventually, four episodes, two bags of pop corn, and a bottle of wine later..the two best friends bid each other goodnight and wandered off to their own rooms to sleep.

Jimin fell asleep easily, wrapped in his sheets and cozy. Sometimes his work weighed heavy on his shoulders. He's seen a lot of people come in and not make it back out..or come in rushed by ambulances already gone with no hope to save them.

But it had been a good day, a long one, but no losses.

And Yoongi.. Yoongi laid awake in his bed, staring up at the ceiling and thinking about round brown eyes and bunny toothed smiles with a high-pitched laugh.

And maybe a rock solid body covered in ink.

Some chapters are longer/shorter than others.

ALSO, I'd love to hear your ideas/guesses as the story progresses.
