Taehyung's POV:

He was crying in my arms like a little kid. He was just talking about marriage a few seconds ago.

Taehyung: "Calm down Jiminie, tell me what happened with her." I pushed him lightly to see his face, wiping the tears that kept pouring nonstop.

Jimin: "I... I thought to buy her banana milk like the one Kookie hyung likes, but... but she has allergies to milk products. When she refused to take it, I was so sad. But the moment she started to explain why she rejected it, I felt numb, hyung. I lost my senses in front of her eyes. I swear I looked so stupid. Do something - I don't like this version of me." He fell into a new set of tears, but this time I couldn't hold my laughter.

Taehyung: "Aigooo, come here, stop crying. You don't look stupid or anything. You are the smartest in your school. How can you say this?" He wiped his tears aggressively.

Jimin: "I think my brain only works with math. It stops the moment I meet her."

I held his face in my palms.

Taehyung: "It's just because it's your first time, but let's think positively. You know something new besides her name."

He frowned, looking confused.

Jimin: "What is it?"

Taehyung: "That she has allergies to milk." He formed his lips in an O shape, getting what I meant.

Taehyung: "So what about you give her a pack of strawberries? You know how much I love them - try if she does too."

Jimin: "And how can I get my brain to work in front of her? I won't go stand in front of her like an idiot without saying anything." God, why is he asking me this? I don't have a clue about these things. I never fell in love before.. I'm so relieved that he is not in the same phase as me .. I'm totally a coward who can't stand in the same room with a woman ..

Taehyung: "You don't need to say anything. Just give it to her and smile, then go to your seat like nothing happened." Jimin looked like he liked the idea. I hope I don't ruin my brother's first love story.. He needs another one to give him consultation .. i'm totally not the right one for this

Jimin: "Do you think it's fine? I will not look weird?"

I hope so.

Taehyung: "If she likes strawberries, she will be happy." I need to read about these things - what people usually do to not be nervous, why in the first place they are nervous when they meet their lover. It's complicated, but he chose me to help him. I have no choice but to be there for him.. At least I need to give him theoretical information ..

Jimin: "Thank you, hyung. You are the best." He hugged me, kissed my cheek, and ran out of the room.

This kid - who on earth wants to marry a girl he just met?

But I'm so relieved. He is not traumatized about relationships like me. He looks normal. I don't feel he is terrified anymore. Thanks to Yoongi and IU - I really appreciate their effort to make him feel loved and safe.

Is it too late for me to feel the same?

Jungkook's POV:

I was about to sleep, laying on my stomach on my bed. I'm so exhausted - today was hectic with college and practice for my first real stage performance.

The door knocked, revealing Jimin. He jumped on my back.

Jungkook: "Yaaa, you little monkey, I'm tired." I tried to get him down, but he held my neck with his arms and wrapped his legs around my waist.

Jimin: "No, please don't sleep now. I need your help." God, this kid - when he is hyper, no one can make him sit in one place.

Jungkook: "Okay, okay, you are choking me. I will get up - get off of me." He giggled and got up, sitting beside me.

Jungkook: "What is it?" I rested my head on the headboard, closing my eyes.

Jimin: "Hyyyyyung, look at me. It's important." God, can't I just carry him like a sack of potatoes and throw him out of the room?

Jungkook: "There it is - my lovely, not at all exhausted eyes are open and focused. What is it now?" I opened my eyes wide, looking at him. He giggled again. God, I can never be bothered by him.

Jimin: "In my school, there is a dancing audition to create a new dancing band, and Minmin enrolled our names." I sat up properly, focusing on what he was saying.

Jungkook: "That's awesome, Jiminie. You know how much I like your dance when you come with me to my practice. You are talented - I can tell." He looked down, playing with the hem of his shirt.

Jimin: "But this needs to... I don't have..." He was nervous ..

Jungkook: "What is it? Tell me." I pulled his chin up to look at me. There was something bothering him.

Jimin: "Even if I can dance, you need to look good, but my look is not that..." I cut him off.

Jungkook: "Are you saying I'm ugly?" His eyes widened.

Jimin: "What? No, I'm talking about myself. You are so handsome, hyung, and your fans love you."

I patted the back of his hands.

Jungkook: "If you see me as a handsome guy, then you can be sure you are way more handsome than me. Never ever think like this. Everyone in this world is beautiful in their own way, and the way you are beautiful is extremely high. And let's ask your own fans when you get there - I promise you will have a lot." I pinched his cheek. He smiled shyly, agreeing with what I said.

Jimin: "Mmmm. What about me performing in front of a lot of people? I think I can't bring myself to do this."

Jungkook: "That's a point, but it goes with time. When you trust yourself and what you do, invest in your practice to be sure about your movements and steps, then the moment you start your dance, I can promise you will forget the audience. You will feel like you are walking on clouds." He was amazed by my words.

Jimin: "Can... can you be there at the audition?" I smiled and raised my palm to give him a high five.

Jungkook: "Sure, little one. Just tell me the date to fix my schedule." He gave it back and I felt how happy he was with that.

Jimin: "Yaaaaa, you are the best. Now I have two best hyungs. Don't tell this to the others, okay? Tomorrow you will all return to being my normal hyungs, but now you two are the best." He kissed my cheek and ran out of the room without explanation for what he just said.
