Green With Envy || Yoonmin

30; "Easy to fall in love with"

"Mmm, that smells really good. What are you cooking today?" Yoongi is hit with a strong scent of umami the moment he steps into the apartment. He closes his eyes and takes is the smell of whatever Jimin's making. He closes the front door and instantly heads to the kitchen. Today is a usual Friday where Jimin cooks for Yoongi because it's the only day he arrives earlier than the latter. While for breakfast, whoever wakes up first has to make breakfast for the both of them, and that's for the entirety of the week.

Jimin smiles, embracing Yoongi in a warm hug. "You'll have to guess." He giggles when he sees the look on Yoongi's face. "It's something we've never cooked before."

"How should I help?" Yoongi asks, rolling up his sleeves and proceeds to wash his hands in the kitchen sink. "You don't get to help today. I want it to be a surprise," he hears Jimin saying. Yoongi rolls his eyes and dries his wet hands on Jimin's T-shirt, earning himself a loud whine.

"Is that what I get for surprising you?" Jimin yells. "Ungrateful hoe," he mumbles, making Yoongi punch him playfully. "You know what? If you want to help so bad, here,"

Yoongi's eyes light up, grinning as he gets excited. He's always secretly loved cooking. But to his disappointment, Jimin hands him a plastic plate wrapped in foil. Confused, Yoongi raises an eyebrow, clearly oblivious to what he's supposed to do with this ugly plate.

"Go give this to Tae and Kook. It's leftover brownies from last week. Jungkook was calling me, and he said he's been craving something sweet." Jimin says, reading Yoongi's confused look.

Taehyung runs to open the door when he hears a knock. He is met with a frowning Yoongi when he opens the door. "What's up?" He asks, snatching the foil-wrapped plate. He's already used to getting a bunch of leftovers from Jimin and he absolutely loves it. Who knew Yoongi could cook this good? The said boy groans, inviting himself in and dropping on Jungkook's couch. "Jimin doesn't want me to help him cook," he complains. Taehyung closes the front door and fetches the brownies to the kitchen counter (he only knows it's brownies because he took a taste and maybe a little bite, but no one has to know), then joins Yoongi on the couch. "He said it's because it's a surprise or whatever, but I think he doesn't trust me with cooking this new dish with him,"

Taehyung almost scoffs because he can't believe Yoongi's thought process. "Hyung, first of all, if Jimin said that you should believe him. He won't lie to you. And are you hearing yourself?! He doesn't trust you with your cooking? You're like, the best cook I've ever met. And seriously, if Jimin trusts anyone, It's you."

Yoongi sighs, realizing Taehyung is right. "I guess I'm just making it a big deal,"

There is silence for a few minutes, and Yoongi doesn't know what's going inside Taehyung's head. Right when he's about to excuse himself to leave, Taehyung speaks up, "Did Jimin ever tell you about him and Jinsu?"

Yoongi raises an eyebrow, not sure if he's familiar with the name. "Who?"

"You don't remember Jinsu?" Taehyung asks and Yoongi shakes his head. "Jinsu from high school? The one who used to pick on Jimin all the time?" Taehyung reminds, and Yoongi seems to try to remember. He does have a little bit of memory of someone picking on Jimin now that Taehyung mentioned it. "That guy that was the reason for me and Jimin's first interaction?" Yoongi asks, and Taehyung frantically nods. "His name was Jinsu?" Yoongi is a little taken aback and confused by the sudden mention of the guy. He just though that Jinsu was some insecure bully that picked on Jimin because he was an easy target, he didn't know there was a whole story behind him. And to think Jimin didn't tell him about it?

"Did you ever wonder why Jimin was so scared to let you in his life and allow you to get close?" Taehyung asks, surprising Yoongi. "Because he hated and envied me to the point of wanting me dead?" He answered, now a little unsure himself. This was the reason in his head for the longest time, and even Jimin admitted it himself. What other reason would it be?
