ten.

ㅡ love's paradox.

yugyeom hears them talking about him; his other dance crew members.

he hears them muttering, berating, how he shouldn't be so pitiful for hinself, how he shouldn't snatch the criwn prince away now that he's married, how he should keep his words to himself and not nose into other people's affairs. he hears and he remains silent, not knowing what to do.

what can he do anyway? it's true.

"taehyung!" jimin waves as he sees the blonde at the door, not realising how the other male had a stoic look on his face. "did you arrive home safely last-" he cut his own words off as taehyung walks past him, not a single word uttered to the silver haired.

what the hell was that?

jimin stares into space as mr. choi teaches, wondering what he might have done wrong that made taehyung ignore him in class the whole day. he sighs as the bell goes off and as he keeps his things, he looks up to see someone at his table, smile so plastic it didn't even pass off as a smile.

"i'm sorry if i didn't talk to you today, i wasn't ignoring you, i just have a lot of things im my mind lately" the male explains, remaining silent as jimin stands up from his seat and smiles, "it's alright, but you know you can tell me anything right? is something bothering you?"

you, god it's always been you park jimin and i'm going insane.

"nothing i couldn't take care off, don't worry yeah? besides, you should go, jungkook is probably already waiting for you already" jimin's eyes widen at that, totally forgetting that class has ended and throws a quick goodbye to the male before rushing down.

as night time looms, jimin finds himself in his room doing nothing since he had already finished his schedule for the day and stares at his ceiling for god knows how long. after an eternity perhaps, it was just ten minutes, he makes a move to sit up and pushes his door to leave and spend his time at the garden.

he finds another presence, however, roaming around the garden and hears camera shutters going off. "jungkook" said male hums, and jimin knows jungkook knows his presence there, he just didn't bother to acknowledge it. he hates jungkook.

"what are you doing here? aren't you supposed to be asleep" jungkook finally says after a terse silence between them, jimin just watching as jungkook take shots after shots of flowers and the surrounding, occasionally taking pictures of the sky, sparkly stars decorating pitch black darkness.

"i could be asking you the same thing" and it's now that jimin realises jungkook's been using the camera jimin got him for his birthday and his heart does a weird skip, not that he bothers to find out why, absolutely.

jungkook doesn't reply, instead he lowers his camera for a nanosecond, looking at the silver haired before bringing it back up, angling to the other's face and before jimin could say anything, the shutter goes off. and many more after that.

"jungkook why the hell are you taking pictures of me" the replies he got were more pictures taken at different angles and he's gotten enough, moving from his spot amd going after the male, "jungkook, stop" he sees the smile painting jungkook face and the laugh he emits, not stopping his actions till jimin pokes at his sodes and the camera almost falls if not for the straps around his neck as he yelps, eyes going wide as jimin stares at him, a grin slowly forming.
