You know... I know...- A Yoonmin AU

8. Truth

Walking past 3 huge rooms, Jimin entered a practice room where he was supposed to meet hoseok. What he didn't expect to see there as he entered, was their manager. "Oh, Hyungnim. Good morning." He bowed to the elder man with a smile which the latter returned.

"Good morning to you too." Jimin then walked over to hoseok who gave him side hug. He lifted a bag in his hand. "Look, Jiminie, hyungnim bought us some snacks."

"Oh. Thank you for this!" Jimin thanked their manager who smiled. "It's okay, I know you both practice hard. You should eat time to time to stay healthy and fit, right?"

Both nodded. "I must leave now. I've disrurbed you enough for today." Hoseok protested quite immediately. "No, we should be thankful to you."

"Right. And hyung, can you help me with something?" Manager tilted his head a little. "Of course."

"Actually, one of my friend's birthday is around the corner. He sent me invitation but I can't go there so, I'm planning to send a gift and a letter."

"Do you want me to arrange a gift for your friend?" Manager asked. "Uhmm.. No. Actually, I'm not quite good at writing stuff. So..... How about... I mean, can you help me write a letter?"

"Oh, sure! I'll go write a letter till you do your routine? How does that sound?" Jimin nodded. "Yep." And the same proceeded.

"Now I feel satisfied." Hoseok said with giggles making Jimin smile. "By the way, whose birthday is coming?" Jimin walked toward an empty chair where a peace of paper was resting. He lifted it and shrugged towards hobi. "No one's."

"Then for who did you write this letter for?" Jimin didn't answer, instead, he opened the letter. A huge grin made it's way on his lips.

"I was damn right." Hobi frowned. "What?" He fast walked toward Jimin and ducked inside the letter. "Hyung, I was write. The letter that I found on the day after my birthday was written by Manager hyung.

"What?!" He smiled widely. "Yes. I knew that I've definitely seen this handwriting somewhere then yoongi hyung mentioned about manager hyung that day and it suddenly clicked." He had a proud smile on.

"But how do you know Yoongi hyung was the one to get the letter written?" Jimin went silent for a moment, staring at hobi who stared back with a hint of enthusiasm in his eyes.

"Do you remember last to last year, we played secret santa?" Hobi nodded. "We were told to write letters along with a gift and Yoongi hyung made manager hyung to write a letter because he didn't want Taehyung to find out who was his secret santa!" Hobi widened his eyes when realization hit him

"Oh my holy drop of water! That's unbelievable." His mouth narrowed. After a few minutes of digesting the recent shock, hobi asked, "But Jimin-ah? What are planning to do with this now?" Jimin frowned with confusion. "What do you mean?"

"I mean, even if we know now that Suga hyung was the one to send that letter, what are you planning to do next?" Jimin shrugged again. "Are you serious?! He has confirmed that he has romantic feelings for you!"

"Yeah!" Jimin exclaimed in low voice caused by his drumming heart. "Do you feel anything for him?" Hoseok's soft voice made the younger look up to him. His cheeks were flushed.

"I.... Yet don't know. It's like... It's like I like him maybe or maybe not... I don't know!" He looked down again, with a small pout. Hobi chuckled. "Let's not talk about it here but at home with Taehyungie?" Jimin nodded.

With a drumming heart and bright pink cheeks, Jimin sat on the edge of Tae's bed while Tae sat near the headboard and hobi on his own bed. After making sure that the door was locked, hobi explained the earlier happening to Taehyung who enthusiastically congratulated Jimin.

"Well, I somewhere knew that it would turn out to be yoongi hyung. The way he is around you is just so obvious!" Hobi nodded on Tae's remark. "And what about the next step now?"

"Yet to decide." Hobi answered. "Jimin, you need think about your feelings now. That should be the next step." Hobi agreed to it. "I said the same. I asked him if he feels the same for hyung." Jimin finally looked up towards Tae. "Do you?" Tae asked him.

"I don't know. Maybe or... Maybe not." Tae heaved his brows. "What does that supposed to mean?"

"He hasn't identified his feelings yet, Taehyungie!" Taehyung made an o with his lips. "Basically, how do you feel around him?"

"Good?" Taehyung looked at him with blank face. "Not that! Like,... How to explain this.... Uhhh.... Like, do you feel safe around him? Like comfortable, at peace?" Jimin looked down at his hand. "I do feel nice and cozy around him."

"Okay, let's just get this straight. This won't help! Jimin-ah, you have to know what your heart says whenever you're around him. Now just forget about the fact that he's into you. Don't love him because he does, okay?" Hobi said in a soft voice. Jimin gave a soft nod, still looking down.

"I know you just see me as a hyung but I don't."

Those drunk words of suga tickled his heart. Do I like you, hyung?

After yesterday's conversation between the three, mission identify was on but on halt due to a mishap. Jungkook had a high fever last night. The doctor came to check and gave the medicine but the fever did not at all decrease for the past 13 hours.

All other members were worried but they all had tight schedules today. Yoongi had to go to the studio to work on the Jungkook's solo project. Hobi and Jin had shoot while Tae has to film with his squad. Namjoon had already left last night to attend a collaboration with a brand in Japan.

Jimin had no schedule today which allowed him to stay at home and take care of jungkook who was utterly unconscious since this morning.

"Jimin-ah, take good care of him. Don't leave his side even for a minute!" Jimin smiled at suga's caring nature although he portrays himself as a emotionless person. "I repeat, do not leave his side even for a single minute!"

"Am I allowed to poo and pee then?" Suga made a blank face for which Jimin let out a laugh. "I promise you hyung, I won't let you down!" Suga smiled just a little and ruffled latter's hairs. His smile grew to a wide one.

"I love to see this smile." Jimin said while staring at Yoongi's lips, his voice soft like . His eyes drew themselves up after those lips left a small chuckle.

"Oh? Why so?" He asked, his eyes sparkling with feelings that he held for all those years while Jimin's eyes twinkled with admiration. "It comes once in a while but always is pure and genuine with no lies."

His answer was followed by movement of his eyes toward the older's lips and back to the eyes which now were drowning in something beyond love. He cupped Jimin's right cheek just how softly he spoke.

"This smile.... Every time it blooms, it is because of you. You're the only reason behind it." His eyes softened. "I have to leave now. Take good care for jungkook. Don't leave-"

"Don't leave his side even for a minute!" Jimin chuckled along with Yoongi. After a final good bye, yoongi headed out while Jimin went to kook's bedroom.
