Jimin wasn't sure what type of strange voodoo had influenced his mind as he stood in front of Yoongi's door. He was wearing a pair of gray sweatpants and had on a black and white flannel that he had grown very attached to ever since he bought it two months ago. He wondered if his outfit was too much to practically ask your neighbor out on a date in, but he was feeling confident, so why not?

No. Jimin thought. It wasn't a date.

Or at least he didn't know if it was.

And quite frankly, he didn't care. He already had too much on his mind -which was surprising because of his well-known lack of emotions- to worry about what this was to him. His mind seemed to be so full and filled with so much energy that he didn't know what to do with.

It was like he was a teenager all over again.

But it wasn't just that he wanted to spend time with Yoongi.

He didn't want to be alone.

He always was, and normally he was okay with it. He was used to it. He had gotten so very accustomed to being alone all the time, it was like second nature to him. And sadly, there was nothing he could do about it. There wasn't anyone that he could go to- everyone either being too far away or no longer in his life.

So he isolated himself.

But right now, he didn't want to be alone, which was strange for him, because he never got that feeling. And the first and only option that popped up in his mind was his neighbor by the name of Min Yoongi. He wondered if it was the fact that someone who didn't live across the country entered his life, that gave him the hope that he wouldn't have to be alone. That having the company of the white-haired umbrella man wasn't completely impossible.

So he took the chance.

Jimin had recently bought a movie on his TV that he had seen on a commercial a few times when he was at work. It looked interesting to him, but this was the first time he actually had the free time to watch it.

Jimin had a soft spot for sad movies. He knew that every time the warm tears would mark themselves down his precious face, and his heart would ache with a sudden overcome of sadness, he would regret it.

But he couldn't help it. They were like a drug to him, never being able to get enough of the feeling he got. Jimin was fully aware that life didn't always give you happy endings. Which is why he loved sad movies so much. Nothing turned out right. No matter who did something or what was supposed to happen, someone was always sad for some type of reason in the end.

And he couldn't help but love the intellectual feeling of being able to relate to something as simple as a fiction story.

The only person who used to watch them with Jimin was Jungkook, who hesitantly agreed to, seeing the look of sadness on Jimin's face when nobody wanted to go with him.

They had all planned to go to a new comedy that came out the week before, and of course, Jimin agreed, though his heart wasn't completely set on the movie that seemed too corny and cheesy for his liking.

That was until they got to the movie theater when Jimin saw it. He had stopped dead in his tracks as Tae and JHope continued walking, too lost in each other to even notice Jimin had stopped. Jungkook however, stopped and tilted his head, trying to focus on what had caught Jimin's attention.
