a little braver

열둘

chapter twelve.
— ✿

seokjin is losing all of his patience.

it comes to the point that he wants to harshly pull his hair off, but his brain is still functioning well, so on the second thought he's never gonna do that.

the eldest is glad that taehyung and jimin's friendship is back, but there's something that he can't pinpoint.

for example, how taehyung stares at jimin whenever the older is not looking at him.

seokjin swears that the younger's eyes are all soft and there's a glint of love. the way taehyung looks at jimin is like watching a sappy 90's romance film—it's pure, yet there's a burning passion in his eyes.

while to jimin, the small boy is like a living tomato that's going to explode anytime soon.

taehyung, the usual clingy friend is sometimes getting a little touchy to jimin. seokjin can see how the cute boy's face burns up, like he's eating something spicy.

one time, the three of them were talking with each other. it's not a serious conversation, the one who's leading the talk is taehyung. jimin was unusually quite on his seat, so the eldest with concern, observed and he found out that the crescent-liked eyes of jimin were directed to the lips of the oblivious talking male, dreamily looking at it while blushing.

jin double checked it, making sure that it's not an illusion. he later on comes up with a conclusion that there's no heterosexual explanation for that behavior of jimin.

his two stupid friends are obviously in love with each other, but why aren't those two romantically together? he thinks. seokjin knows that probably almost whole of the population in korea are homophobic, but isn't love makes you risk things?

seokjin was actually slightly taken a back that taehyung is not straight, but that doesn't mean he judged the younger male. his shock is more like he's not expecting that taehyung is gay, since there's no hint of gayness in his friend's body.

he truly accepts his friends no matter what their sexuality are.

as of now, his patience is getting thinner and thinner. jin likes to help his beloved friends, his friend's business is his business. he'll do anything to help jimin and taehyung.

the big question is how?

jin frustratingly goes out of his room and walks down to their kitchen. eating can help him think, so he grabs a bunch of chocolates in their fridge and some salty junk food in the cabinet. he then, wanders to the living room and lazily slumps on the couch, putting all the unhealthy food beside him.

he stares at nothingness as he shoves some potato chips in his mouth.

analyzation: taehyung and jimin really do love each other. taehyung seems to be the type of person that does not care about what people think about him and only cares for jimin, while the older probably still confused at his own feelings and sexuality.

seokjin tries to sort things out.

so, jin has to deal with the older first, since it's seems that taehyung is just holding back for jimin's sake, while to jimin, he appears to be kinda in denial of what's happening in front of him.
