pizza boy ➳ yoonmin

열둘

you don't really order pizza as much these days anymore.

the times you do, it's either because you and jungkook are hanging out, or because you and jungkook got into a fight and you wanted to eat your feelings.

today was one of those days.

you ordered a large pepperoni pizza.

i asked if that was it.

you said yes.

i said okay, sensing how sad you sounded over the phone.

once the pizza was ready, i headed to your house, which took less than five minutes. i've been there so many times i can recite your address from memory now.

i knocked on your door and it took you a few minutes before you answered, but i didn't mind waiting.

i would wait hours for you, jimin.

you opened the door with a sigh and i gave you a sympathetic smile when i saw you.

your nose was red again and you had chanel bags underneath your puffy eyes. you sniffled and reached inside the pocket of your dark grey sweatpants, pulling out your black wallet.

"sorry, how much again?"

you looked up at me with a frown on your face, and i felt my heart break.

"are you alright, jimin?" i asked.

you leaned against the doorframe and told me you were surprised i remembered your name.

how could i forget?

i'll never forget someone like you, jimin.

"relationship issues?" i hesitantly asked.

"how'd you know?" you replied, tilting your head to the side.

it was cute.

i shrugged.

"i've been having a fair share of problems in the love department myself."

you suddenly seemed more interested.

"really? you?"

i chuckled. i asked you what that was supposed to mean, and while it wasn't much, you did let a small smile appear on your face for a couple of moments.

you told me that i seemed like an expert when it came to relationships, that i looked like i was a go getter.

i shook my head.

"not at all," i admitted. "i can't even tell the boy i like that i like him."

"why not?" you questioned. "do it before it's too late."

i looked at you and smiled sadly. "it already is too late. he's in a relationship, but i think his boyfriend is a bit of an asshole."

you crossed your arms across your chest and hummed in thought. "do you really like him?"

i nodded instantly.

"i love him, and i think i could be a much better boyfriend."

"you should tell him then."

i stood there in silence for a moment, thinking about your words. i bit my lip and nodded slowly, and you just watched me quietly.

"right. maybe i will."

i sighed and handed you the pizza.

"it's on me today, jimin. no need to pay."

you tried to deny, like usual, but in the end i won, which was also usual.

"it'll be okay, jimin," i told you sincerely, looking you in your beautiful brown eyes.

you smiled.

"thank you, uh...."

"....yoongi."

"right! that was your name. sorry it's been a good while."

i nodded in silence, feeling a strange sensation in my chest.

before you closed the door, you thanked me once more, and i told you it was no big deal.

i walked back to the car with my fist clenched so tightly that it started to sting, thinking about how you forgot my name.

and as i sat down in the car, i stared at my hands in my lap with a blank look on my face.

you forgot me, jimin.

me.

the one who is perfect for you.

the one who loves you with their whole heart and wouldn't do anything to make you cry like jungkook does.

you forgot.

how could you?
