Part 12

After class the group headed to the cafeteria to have lunch.
They grabbed their trays and sat, together as always.

"Hey, Joon" Tae waved to Namjoon who joined them "Where were you?"
"He was helping me out" Seokjin answered "Mind if i join you guys?"
"Will that be okay?" Namjoon looked worried

"Hey, can't a teacher have lunch with some of his students?" he smiled

"Sure, Mr Kim" Yoongi joined the conversation

"Hey, Jimin"
"Oh, hey Kook-ah!"
"Can i..talk to you for a second?"
"Sure"  he stood up and they walked out of the room, they were far enough not to be heard but the group could still see them

"Are you sure you're okay?"

"Yeah, don't worry. My head has been bothering me but nothing to worry about"

"Listen, i know we just started to get along and.. i know you're really close to Tae and.."
he sighed, it was really difficult for him to put his thoughts into words

"Would you.. like to go out with me?"

"What?!"
Jimin was shook

Kookie scratched the back of his neck a bit embarrassed

"I'm sorry, i know this might seems too random. Is just.. i've gotten to see more about you lately and.. after all these years, i finally gathered the courage to say something"

"W-What do you mean after all this years?"

"Look, thruth is.. i've always liked you.
Since we were kids. But i was too awkward and, i wouldn't let go of my cousin because i was too afraid to say something that would spook you. To be honest i still am"

"Wow" Jimin was still processing his words

"See? Ugh, i probably said too much, im sorry"

"No, is..
I thought.. you liked Taehyung"

"Taehyung?!" he almost shouted in surprise
"No!..he's my cousin, and i love him. But i would never see him any other way"

Then, there's nothing between them?
I guess Taehyung just doesn't like me.
im a guy after all, why would he? ~ Jimin was thinking

"You know what? nevermind. You don't have to , i'm too weird anyways" he chuckled awkwardly "im sorry im just gonna go"

"Wait!" Jimin grabbed his hand "i will"

"Y-you will??"

"Yeah i...
i mean, we really dont know each other too well but, i guess we could.. go on a date?"

Jimin didn't really think it was the best idea, but he remembered Hobi's advice and he really wanted to let go of Taehyung.

Kookie's eyes brightened at Jimin's response. It was more than he could've ever imagine

Taehyung's POV

Huh.. they're finally getting along, thats good.
They spent a couple minutes talking, then Jungkook was about to leave when Jimin pulled his hand
Are they arguing about something?

"I bet i can read their lips" Hobi said proudly
"What?" Yoongi givig him his best WTF face

"Look, they're saying: I will"... stopped for a second

"i will?" the other asked

"shhhhh.." continued "oh, they're talking about how Taehyung is a jerk" he scowled me for some reason.. did Jimin tell him something?

"Just shut the fuck up" Yoongi smacked Hobi's head

"are you gonna tell him today?" Namjoon whispered at me
"yeah.." sighed "i'm scared though.."

Jungkook grinned and and took his leave

"He's coming! Everybody look at me!" Jin told the others
"..So you guys heard about the Italian chef who died?... [any Undertale fans?]
HE PASTA WAY!"

"Seriously?" Hobi raised an eyebrow as Jin continued laughing at his own joke

Jimin sat with the group and started eating, Namjoon trying not to make fun of the oldest's windshield laughter

"So.. what was that about?" i asked him
"Jungkook asked me out" he replied without a care in the world

The table went completely silent and after a couple minutes, i decided to finally talk
"What did you tell h-"

"I said yes"

Jimin didn't even stop looking at his food as he spoke

No one else dared to say a word

...

Tae was holding his phone, tighter by the second. He would've probably broken the screen if Namjoon hadn't realized on time

"Tae, i need to speak to you about something.." he pulled his hand "sorry babe, i just remembered about a thing" Jin nodded

They got into the bathroom and Namjoon locked the door

"Tae...Tae" he shook him a little

"..why?"

"hey" Namjoon spoke softly trying to get him out of that trance he was in

"how did it come to this.....?how the fuck did this happen?!" he started raising his voice
"is my fault isn't it?

of course it is!" Tae wouldn't look up.. he sounded desperate and angry at himself
"i was stupid enough to push him away.. and now its too late.."

"No, Tae.."

He finally looked Namjoon in the eyes.. tears streaming down his face

"He deserved this.. Kookie is a good boy, he'll make him happy.."
His voice started cracking
"My princess.. he'll make him happy.. won't him?"
Tae smiled, his cheeks soaked, and the only thing Namjoon could so was hug him

He knew he had spent too much time afraid of telling him how he really felt, to scared thinking he'd lose his best friend.. and now it was too late, he hurt him
He had waited too long, and now he was about to lose the love of his life
