Remember Me? | Kim Taehyung

10

"I can't talk to you anymore.." he says sadly, smiling weakly at me.

"W-what? Why?" I begin to stutter.

"Taehyung.." he shakes his head. "I'll see you round Y/N." he says as he closes the window and pulls the curtains.

"Ouch." Jungkook says, coming up behind me. "I can't figure out who's more of a dick here, Tae or Jimin-Hyung.."
I sigh.

"Yah Jungkookie... What am I going to do? First Taehyung and now Jimin.. What am I doing wrong?" I exclaim rather dramatically, and he rests I hand on my shoulder.

"You haven't done anything wrong. My guess is that Taehyung is jealous of how close you and Jimin are, and has told him to back off." he says comfortingly. "I'll tell you what, I'll try knock some sense into Tae, you go give Jimin a hug." he smiles as I nod.

Jungkook hugs me goodbye at the end of my driveway and begins to jog down the street. I take a deep breath and move towards Jimin's front door. I hesitate before knocking. There is a moment of silence before a petite woman with kind eyes opens the door. I guess that she must be Jimin's mother.

"Ah you must me one of Jimin's friends right? He's in his room, up the stairs and first door on the left." she directs me and I smile gratefully. I climb the stairs quietly and stand for a moment outside his door, suddenly nervous.
Finally I find the courage to knock.

"Come in."
I slowly open the door. Jimin is sat on his bed with his back to me, and I take a step forward into the room, coughing slightly to announce my presence. He whips around.

"Hi.." I say quietly, trying to smile. His expression goes blank.

"What are you doing here?" he asks bluntly, and I am slightly taken aback. I fiddle with the sleeves of my jumper as I explain Jungkook's plan to him.

"..and he told me to give you a hug while he knocks some sense into Taehyung.. I don't know what Tae said to you, but I don't want to loose you-" my words catch in my throat before I can finish. Just because he is jealous.
Jimin nods slowly, but doesn't make any effort to move from his relaxed position on the bed.

"I've said what I needed to say.. I guess I'll leave now.." I say, beginning to turn around. Suddenly I hear the creak of bed springs and a pair of arms wrap around my waist.

"Taehyung is going to kill me..." Jimin whispers into my hair, and I hear him chuckle softly. I wrap my arms around his neck.

"No he won't."

Back in my room just over half an hour later, I get a text from Jungkook.

-Kookie
So I spoke to Taehyung

-Me
And?

-Kookie
Well.. He didn't say much, but he said he'd stop glaring at you and start talking.

-Me
Well that's something at least, thanks Jungkookie

-Kookie
Any time, are you and Jimin OK now?

-Me
Yeah we're good

-Kookie
Awesome

My mother calls me to dinner, so I say goodbye to Jungkook and stand from the bed. I see Jimin through the window and wave to him, to which he smiles brightly, and I join the rest of my family downstairs.

"Who was that kid you let in?" my father questions as I sit down.

"Jungkook, he's new here." I say simply.

"Is he one of Taehyung's friends?" Youngjin asks, digging into his food. I nod.

"Is he your boyfriend?" Taemin asks cheekily, I choke and shake my head furiously. "Are you sure? You hugged him outside."
I glare at my youngest brother whilst my mother chuckles. I swear I will throttle that kid some day.

Back upstairs after dinner, I pack my bag for tomorrow and get ready for bed. Just as I get into bed, I hear something hit my window. I get out of bed to find a small pebble on my windowsill. Looking up, I see Jimin at his window smiling widely at me.

"Hey." he says as I open my window.

"Hey." I say, smiling back just as wide.

"I wanted to say sorry, also Taehyung texted.." he says, rubbing the back of his neck, and my smile falters.

"What did he say?.." I ask quietly.

"That Jungkook had to wrestle him to say it but he's sorry for dragging me away from you.. Did he text you?"

I shake my head, he smiles sympathetically and climbs out of his window, sitting on the ledge. I do the same. The gap between our houses isn't that big, but if we were both to reach out I would be able to hold his hand.

"He'll come around eventually.. And I promise I'll be here the whole time." he says, reaching his hand out to me and motioning me to take it. I smile gratefully and we continue to talk for hours, sat on our window ledges on the first floors of our houses, separated by the gap between them but still hand in hand.

"I have an idea." he suddenly says, letting go of my hand and climbing back through his window into his room and disappearing. I gaze up at the sky, and a few moments later, Jimin appears again.. With a ladder.

"What the hell?" I begin to laugh. His cheeks flush and he tells me to move over on my ledge. He pulls the ladder out of the window, and rests it on both of our window sills, creating a bridge.

"See, I'm so smart." he says, wiggling his eyebrows at me. I giggle and he begins to walk across the ladder towards me, then sits with me on my window ledge. We talk for a little longer before I check my phone. The time reads just past midnight. I gasp.

"Yah it's past midnight Jimin!"

"So?"

"Go to bed! We have school!" I laugh a little as he pouts.

"Ok fine.." he says and hugs me. "Night bestie." he says cheekily, showing the peace sign as he climbs back across the ladder and pulls it back into his room. I wave and climb back through my window, shutting it and getting into bed.
