KIM SEOKJIN!

◍◍◍◍◍◍◍◍◍◍◍◍◍◍◍◍◍◍◍◍

Taehyung stares at the unanswered message on his phone with a frown. Jin hadn't even seen his message or he had seen it and was probably ignoring him.

Whatever it was, Taehyung hated it. where was Jin? He needed his advice. How could he do this without him? Jin had promised to help him through this whole love thing. and yet, when he needed him the most, he had disappeared.

He had picked up Jimin on his way, but he had been going all out of his way to avoid him as of now. he had asked him to be his plus one under pressure. it seemed like the right step to take. but now that he had done it, it seemed like he had ignored every sign his body and his mind had been telling.

Jin always told no pressure and compete honesty and now he was doing the complete opposite. he had asked Jimin out under pressure and now instead of being honest to Jimin, he was hiding.

Taehyung's eye swept the crowd again. No sign of Jin.

The last time he had seen him was when he talked to his parents. Something about Jin leaving didn't sit right with him. The moment Jin said "our work is done here" a sense of dread had settled deep in his stomach.

So he had gone over to his room. Hoping to get his personal number and socials, to ask him to keep in touch with him. He didn't want to accept it but he had been worried about the handover. excited but scared nonetheless and somehow Jin tapping his arm, looking him straight in the and telling him that he would do well really seemed to reassure him.

So he went ahead and laid his head on Jin's shoulders. It felt good to lean on someone, knowing that the person was supporting him.

He huffed in frustration glancing around again, eyes falling on Hobi. Yes. Hobi would know where Jin is.

He catches Hobi's eyes even though he seemed to be trying really hard to avoid Taehyung for the night and starts going towards him to ask about Jin whereabouts when Jimin comes inn front of him and stops him.

"Taehyung? I think we need to talk"

Taehyung gulps, tearing his eyes away from Hobi and nodded "Yeah- yeah sure"

Jimin smiles "This thing between us- it's not going how Jin expected it to go"

Taehyung stays silent not experienced in such situations.

Jimin chuckles "It's fine. We really click together. We share a lot of great interests but it's not.... going the way we first expected it to"

Taehyung sighed in relief "Yes. I- I did not know how to say that"

Jimin shook his head "Don't worry. The feelings are mutual Taehyung. But, I feel like we could be great friends together"

Taehyung smiled and nodded "Platonic soulmates"
