CHANCE (One Shot)

CHANCE

Yoongi was holing himself in the studio, working diligently when Jimin arrived.

He padded softly towards him and Yoongi didn't notice until Jimin gave him a shy kiss on the forehead.

"Oh." Yoongi turned his swivel chair around to face him.

"Hi." Jimin said and gave him a small smile. He then placed a box of lamb skewers on the older's lap.

Yoongi stared at him. "What are you doing here?"

The statement sounded quite mean. But, Jimin knew his boyfriend didn't mean it that way.

"I just...wanted to see you."

"Mm." Yoongi hummed as he turned back around to face the monitor to continue his work. He was touched but he really didn't want Jimin to see his face. He wasn't presentable at the moment. He had bags under his eyes.

Jimin looked at him from behind.

"Oh! Jungkook and Taehyung invited us to go with them on a vacation next week! Do you want to go?"

Yoongi only continued staring at the monitor, fingers constantly busy with the keyboard.

"I can't, Jimin. I still got three songs to work on." He then scowled and furrowed his brows.  Damn it. Why isn't this melody working?

"O-Oh... Okay.. Maybe next time." Jimin said, his voice faltering.

Yoongi was getting pissed. Now, the program's not working. Fuck! I need to save it! Save save save-

"Hey, you look tired." He heard Jimin's voice. "How about we go home? You should rest. Also, it's been a long time since we've eaten togeth-"

"Shit, Jimin! Please! I'm still busy. I don't have time to spend with you right now!" Yoongi exploded when the program crashed, his unsaved work all gone.

He turned around just in time to see Jimin's tears fall down his cheeks.

His eyes were red-rimmed and his lips were quivering with hurt and anger. Yoongi was shocked, at the least. He didn't mean to explode like that. Not to Jimin.

He stood up and quickly reached for him, but the younger backed away.

"Babe, I'm sorry! I didn't mean-"

"At first, it was you coming home at twelve fucking midnight! It was fine, really. Since you still bothered to talk to me. But now, you don't even go home! You don't even take care of yourself! Look at you!  And I'm stuck here constantly waiting and worrying about someone who doesn't even care!" Jimin shouted, tears threatening to fall again.

Yoongi's chest tightened.

"I tried to be patient Yoongi. I seriously did. I thought that after you're done, you'll start caring for me again. But, no. Do you even know what today is?"

Yoongi stared at him. He thought and tried his best to remember. But, nothing came to his tired mind.

When the latter still stayed silent, Jimin laughed sarcastically.

"It's my fucking birthday, babe."

Oh. Fuck fuck fuck- Yoongi cursed himself. Guilt washed over him like a typhoon as his eyes started to feel glassy.

"I don't expect a gift from you.. I just wanted my boyfriend back..but you couldn't even give me that." Jimin continued, his voice low.

"Jimin, I-I'm sorry! I -"

"I'm leaving."  No. Please.

Yoongi tried to grab Jimin's hand but the younger quickly turned around and walked away.

"Stop! Please, Jimin wait!" Yoongi shouted as he followed him.

"Dont! S-Stop following me!" Jimin roughly wiped his tears away and darted outside the building. He failed to notice lights flickering his way as he started to cross the street.

"Jimin!!!" Yoongi shouted but he was too late.

A screech and a loud thundering sound was heard as he saw the most terrible nightmare flash through his eyes.

"No..." His eyes were filled with tears as he scooped Jimin's bleeding and unconscious body towards him.

"Jimin. Jimin.. hey.." Yoongi said. He nudged the younger to wake up.

"Babe, please... D-don't leave m-me." He said over and over again. But, he knew.

Jimin wasn't breathing anymore.

---------------------------------------------

And then, Yoongi woke up.

His heart was pounding so hard and tears were falling down his cheeks non-stop. He tried to calm himself down when he heard a knock on his door.

"Yoongi?"

He stopped wiping his tears away as he absorbed the familiar and sweet voice he had always loved.

"I'm sorry for disturbing you but... it's already late. I know you still got some work to do but, you should at least eat some food." Jimin said as he went in. He brought down the plastic bag he was carrying.

"I made your favorite! And I brought some lamb skewers, too!" Jimin smiled as he got the contents out, not noticing the state Yoongi's currently in.

The latter stared at the boy in front of him, his cheeks still wet. Jimin was always there. Always caring. Always supportive.

Always loving him.

But Yoongi wasn't. In his mind, there's always work work and work, thinking that in the end, it's for their own good.  He never realized his already pushing Jimin aside.  Well--

Until now.  And he felt guilty for it.

He was a fucking douchebag.

"Yoongi?" Jimin asked when silence still greeted him. He was about to ask Yoongi what was wrong when the older suddenly stood up and hugged him tightly.

"Babe, is everything alright?" Jimin asked worriedly as he hugged back.

"'mm tired." Yoongi huffed.

Jimin chuckled. "Then stop for awhile and get some rest."

He was about to move away when Yoongi held him tighter.

"Don't.. don't leave."

Jimin was startled but he relaxed and leaned his head on Yoongi's shoulder.

"I won't. Never."

Silence engulfed them. But it was comfortable, welcoming.

"I'm sorry." Yoongi said after what seemed a long time.

Jimin tensed. "F-For what?"

The older moved back and leaned their foreheads together. "For not always being there with you."

Jimin blinked. He then smiled at him tenderly. "You're here now."

Yoongi smiled back.

"But seriously, you should say 'I love you' to me more often to make up for it!" Jimin pouted causing the older to chuckle.

"Okay. I love you."

"Buy me korean beef after this."

"Okay. I love you."

"And some ice cream too. A whole bucket of it!"

Yoongi laughed again. "Okay. I love you."

Jimin grinned, his eyes forming crescents.

"I love you, too."
