Ready for Love

Eight Minutes to Midnight

It was almost midnight when I went home. I never expected them to be such a stuck up couple. She must've have a hard time growing up.

Yoongi was on the sofa when I arrived. Something that he rarely do. He must've been thinking too much to sit there instead of favorite chair.

"Yoongi, what's wrong?" I said.

"Hyung. Nothing... everything... Fuck." He said as he crashed his head onto his hands.

"Was there a problem? With Jessie's operation?"

"I don't know yet. This morning Jiwon said they were waiting for Jessie to wake up because of some complications."

"Sleep Yoongi, you look really exhausted."

"This is so frustrating." Yoongi said. "I can't fucking ask what's wrong with her. I have to fucking wait. I should have gone to Portugal with her."

"We're leaving in a week again. Namjoon discussed this before."

"It's killing me, hyung."

"Just wait. It's just a few hours."

"Hyung... I'm gonna marry Jessie when she comes back... if she comes back." Yoongi said breaking down.

"I'm sure she will. Don't worry about it." I said.

Jin rub Yoongi's back as he sobs. "Yoongi, please sleep. Rest."

"I'll stay up for a couple of hours. I'll wait for Jiwon to call." Yoongi said as he wipe his tears and bite his lips.

I slept thinking about Yoongi. How things are so hard for him and here I am playing with fire.

"Namjoon..." I called.

"Fucking Yoongi hyung scared the shit out of me." Namjoon said recovering from the fainting moment of Yoongi when Jiwon came crying with Taehyung. It turns out if was the death of Poochi. Jiwon's ex-boyfriend's dog.

"Why Hyung?"

"About Jaehee..." I began to say. I wanted to tell him not to tell her that he's dating. She might be devastated.

Namjoon smiled at me. "I won't date her don't worry. She knows I'm dating somebody anyway."

"She knows? How come she did before us?" I asked. This fucking monster.

"I dunno. I let it slip to Jimin. So eventually everybody on the earth knows." He says.

"Everybody knows. Except me."

"Sorry, hyung. You're kinda aloof to me ever since... ever since you kidnap her. So..." Namjoon put his arms around me. "I don't think she likes me as Namjoon. She loves RM. I think she likes the Jin who always picks her up from the office."

"I have no plans of dating her." I said.

I mean it. It would be unfair for her. When we got close over texting I never knew she would grow on me.

It started out as an option. When the boys wouldn't talk to me. I would text her. She would reply. I initially thought that she was compelled to reply because she loves us as an artist but eventually she starts loosening up.
