Jin curls up in his bed. He's been alone for about an hour now, since Namjoon had left immediately after the argument, but he doesn't feel right.

Usually, when he and Namjoon fight, he calls Jungkook to complain or cry or just talk it out, but Namjoon had quite literally deleted the majority of his male friends' numbers from his phone. Jungkook's number had been the first to go because of how close he and Jin are.

Jin feels awful, but it isn't new, and he isn't surprised. Namjoon has a way with words, and he always knows how to make him either laugh until his lungs hurt or cry until his heart does.

Namjoon, Jin thinks, is perfect. He has pretty eyes, kind words, and a suave nature that seems to come naturally. Jin's not like that; he's nothing special. He can't compare with Namjoon.

He loves him, though, so much that sometimes it hurts.

His phone buzzes, and he reaches for it immediately. He really, really needs Jungkook right now.

His heart sinks. He should've known he wouldn't be that lucky; his luck isn't all that great in general.

It's pretty bad, actually. He doesn't know why he thought he's even had a chance of getting to talk to Jungkook tonight.

oh
i'm sorry i thought u were someone else

He feels like an idiot. He always goes to Jungkook to talk his issues away, and he's never realized how much he's depended on him until he doesn't have him there to depend on.

(Jungkook's just like Namjoon in that he always knows just what to say, but he's completely different in the fact that he's always honest about it.

Namjoon has a tendency to twist his words a bit.)

Ah I see
Well um
Don't let him walk all over you ok

Jin sighs. Whoever he's talking to sounds disturbingly similar to Jungkook after every post-fight conversation.

He wonders why the vast majority of the people in his life are so protective. Namjoon won't let him out of his sight half the time – he ignores him the other half of the time, but that's not really the point – and Jungkook is always going on and on about standing up for himself and not letting others trample him.

Nevertheless, he's grateful for the comment. Whoever he's talking to seems sweet.

i'll keep that in mind

The door slams. It's a sound Jin knows too well; Namjoon's home, and if the past few fights they've had are any indication, he's drunk.

sorry again for bothering u

"Jinnie?" he hears boyfriend call from the kitchen. The slur in his voice makes it plain that he's had a little more than just a drink or two. "You still here?"

from: 860-659-2649
Wait um

He's curious now, wanting to know who he's talking to – or at least what their name is – but there's no time as he hears Namjoon's uneven footsteps increasing in volume. He slips his phone under his pillow and closes his eyes, feigning sleep.

Barely a minute later he feels rough fingers caressing his cheek, touching him almost reverently, before a familiar body presses up against him from behind and pulls him close.

"Goodnight, Jinnie," Namjoon whispers, kissing the top of his head, and falls asleep almost immediately.

Jin can't sleep that night.
