Is It Obvious

Pain and Portraits

Jimin POV

Tears were streaming down my face and I hadn't moved since Kookie rejected me and left. It was cold in here, or maybe that was just my heart. I really thought... well it doesn't matter what I really thought because I was wrong, evidently.

He had pushed me away in my time of vulnerability, that I could forgive him for, but for leaving me here like this, leaving our friendship in this uncertain state, that maybe I couldn't.

I had all but forgotten Kookie had left his phone on the bed until it started buzzing incessantly. Without wanting to violate his privacy the buzzing was really annoying me so I picked up his phone to check who it was.

It turns out it was J Hope trying to get a hold of him because he would be back late tonight because of a 'date thing' with our new dance instructor I didn't know we had. Dance practice was going to be fun then.

I stayed where I was for a little bit, dreading having to walk down the hall in this state or risk bumping into Kookie, but soon enough I realised I had to move. Who knows when J Hope would be back and I didn't really want to get caught sitting on Kookie's bed like this or have to face any of his questions, so I cleared out back to my room.

As soon as I walked into my room and tried to close the door as quietly as possible to avoid waking Yoongi, he sat bolt upright and immediately said "sit", pointing to the end of his bed. I approached slowly and cautiously,wary of what he wanted, his expression hard.

As soon as he saw my tear stained cheeks his face softened, and he asked "Jimin where were you" softly. It actually sounded like he cared, like he gave a shit about something for once. I looked down at my hands and started wringing my fingers, trying desperately to hold back the hot pressure behind my eyes.

"I..." I hesitated a moment, not knowing what to say. "I went to see Jung Kook" I said quietly, and Yoongi replied with a simple silence.  A few minutes passed and I was about to get up and go to sleep assuming Suga wasn't going to say anything else, but before I could something happened.

I felt an hand on my arm and the next thing I knew I was being pulled down and engulfed in the warmth of Yoongi's embrace. OH MAN HOLY SHIT! Yoongi was hugging me!

His scent overwhelmed me, a mix of freshly cut grass and soft musk swirling its way up my nose and into my head, scrambling my brains. Warmth seeped through my entire body, spreading through each of my limbs and finally settling in my heart. My blood sang in my veins, coursing to and from my heart which was beating at the speed of light, thumping so loud against my ribcage I was afraid he would hear it.

I breathed him in and let him surround all of my senses, my face pressed against his chest and my arms around his slim torso.

We stayed like that for a while but after we pulled away I felt a cool breeze of disappointment skim across my skin, where Yoongi's hands had been been mere seconds ago, scorching through the fabric of my clothes and onto me.

"Jimin I know you like Jung Kook" he said, taking me completely off guard. After I had regained my composure I merely asked him "how did you know?" figuring denial would be aimless by this point.

"You think as your roommate I don't notice these things?" he asked me. "You mutter his name in your sleep, you stay out late practicing just to impress him, you take every opportunity you can to drool over him behind his back or to spend time alone with him, trust me Jimin I have noticed and you are damn lucky the others haven't already too!" By the end Yoongi's face was flushed red and he was breathing heavily.

I had never really thought of it like that, to be honest I had never really seen Yoongi as in the picture at all before. He was my roommate but that meant practically nothing, he was always either out working or sleeping, so although we shared a room we might as well live on different planets for all the interaction we have with each other.

The big picture for me had always been a framed portrait of me and Jung Kook I guess, Yoongi one of the unsuspecting bystanders in the background, accidentally caught in the shot simply for being at that place at that time. But right now he was at the right place and it was at the right time, because all I really needed right now was someone to listen, an innocent bystander if you like.

I had never really noticed him before, but now that I look closer I see him, almost waiting for me to turn around, away from Jung Kook and lay eyes upon him. Although I had admittedly never noticed him before, I sure as hell did now...

A/N- Sorry that this isn't great, I'm really not feeling too good at the moment but I really wanted to update it with something that wasn't a tag, so I hope this is ok. Bangtan always has the best timing though, just when I need something to cheer me up they upload the Japanese MV for Run which omg my hearteu, I have no words for. Anyways I shall skip the dedications this time as everyone I would dedicate this to knows who they are. :) Thanks for reading guys, saranghae!
