I and Jimin kept meeting at the same old café. It was still nice and it seemed like we didn't want to change locations any time soon. We kept talking about the same things, saying random facts about random things. We talked about our ambitions, about our dreams and the future we wanted, so simply and so calmly that it didn't even looked like our asses were literally on the line if we didn't stand up and looked for a job- and yes, we were both unemployed at that time.
We were young, not extremely young, but we didn't have a sense on what the world was really like. Jimin had this weird dream on becoming a whale trainer- you know, those guys who work at water parks and train mammals to perform in front of people. I laughed at his dream job- I shouldn't, but what else can you do when someone tells you that they wanted to dominate the whales?
"You laugh at my dream job, but what is your dream job?"- He jokily asked me, definitely provoking me in some sort of way, because he knew I had no answer. I had no dream job, if I could, I would stay unemployed forever, but I had to pay bills, and I couldn't rely on my parents to keep paying my old and crappy apartment.
"You know I don't have one."- I stated the obvious. Jimin could try and give me ideas on what I wanted to be, but I just didn't have the motivation to move my ass and go find a job.- "How many times do I have to repeat myself to you?"
"Not many times, but I don't know, maybe you finally found one?"- I tried not to be obvious to stare at every little thing he did, I tried not to get attached and I was trying really hard to deny my feelings- because for goodness sake, I still didn't knew if he liked guys. The conversation I had with Yoongi only a few days before still bothered me somehow- I think I did like this guy and for once in my life I actually felt different, but then again, I couldn't just attack him with 'I'm a little bit gay, we should make out' thing.
"Well, I still don't have one... Probably never will at this point."- I still remember the way he looked at me- not a serious look, but somehow it showed concern, as if he was actually worried about my future career.- "What?"
"Nothing... It's just I'm worried I guess. You're young and yet you have no motivation. When I was your age I wanted this world and much more."- And that was it. That was the moment I realised that I could definitely hear whatever crap he wanted to tell me for the rest of my life, because he would always be so sincere and straight foward, and yet he would still show affection and show no hard feelings.
"When you were my age?"- I laughed at his response.- "You're two years older than me. Don't talk like you lived in the last century."- He laughed loudly, getting the attention of the customers around us. I didn't mind. If it meant to be ridiculous with Park Jimin, then why not join him and be ridiculous together?- "But anyway, you don't need to get worried. I'll manage myself somehow."
"If you don't have anywhere to turn, you can always join me and my dream to become a whale trainer."
"No thanks, I think I'll pass."- At that time I didn't knew that at some point in my life I would stay with him, be so close to him to the point where I would literally listen to his heartbeat. I didn't knew that it could ever be possible for me to love someone like him, to share my thoughts and deepest fears with such person.- "I had an idea."
"Should I be scared?"- He took a sip from his coffee once again, and looked at me confused.
"Not really. Remember when I told you that we should hang out in some other places? I just happened to have a good place for us to go someday."- I didn't want to spoil it for him, and I planned on not telling him up until the day actually. It would take a whole lot of energy, and it would probably be hard to find available tickets to go, since the hot weather was right around the corner, but it didn't hurt to try and make Jimin happy, see him even happier than he already was. See his bright smile, and having him smiling especially for something I did for him.
"Someday? I thought you wanted to go someplace else as soon as possible. I mean, you did complain that the coffee here was extremely bitter for you."- He just felt the need to make me embarrassed, embarrassed of my own words, but I didn't mind. I didn't seem to mind whatever Jimin did or said for some reason.
"I know what I said, but I need time to prepare all of it."- I grabbed my coffee- a caramel macchiato with a small amount of caramel on top- it was the only thing on the coffee menu that sounded like it had no coffee in it- guess I was wrong.- and I took a sip from it, looking like I was planning a master plan on how to impress Park Jimin.
"You need time? Jungkook, we can just hang out in the park, you don't need to be so elaborate or fancy with it."- I was trying to be elaborate, trying to think of all the perfect places where I could take him and see the amused expression on his face. My goal was to get even closer to him- like Yoongi said, but not technically turn him gay or anything, just be close to him.
"The park is boring, the only thing you do is walk around."
"You were the one who suggested in the first place."- He giggled, and for some reason I didn't seem to remember the words I said- because he kept quoting me. Jimin kept quoting and correcting me- nothing new to be honest, but in that day it was just happening way too often.- "But fine, I won't complain. If you want to go to a specific place, I would be more than happy to go. Wait, I need to pay for my stuff okay?"
"We both pay, I won't let you pay everything."- I knew where this was going. Ever since we met, he occasionally paid for my coffees, no matter how hard I insisted on paying them, he would always pull out money and shove it in the cashiers face.- Funny to see, but I really hoped that the lady didn't do something to our coffees.- "Plus, I'm the one organising this, so I should be the one paying it all."
"I'll fight you if you don't let me pay my part."
"Fine, fine, you pay your part. Just... don't fight me, you're tiny but you seem strong."- And with that Jimin hit me in the arm, trying really hard to contain his laugh, while I just looked at him waiting for such reaction. I wanted to hear his laugh one more time, a thousand more times even, as long Jimin kept laughing, I was happy.
