After telling Jimin I could try to trust him, I instantly called Namjoon to talk to him.

After all, telling them everything from start to end was a huge step.

Was I ready?

I had to be. I couldn't back out now, I told Jimin I was going to try.

I had to try.

***

"YOU WHAT?"

I just nodded.

"Hana, Oh my God, what- that's amazing!"

I smiled.

"But, Namjoon, that's not what I wanted to talk about."

He gave me a questioning look.

"Well, I want to tell you guys what happened...but I still can't seem be able to."

I sighed, heavily.

"Hana, if you feel like you aren't ready, then don't tell. It's your call, you have all the right to go slow."

"But I ready told him I'll be ready, I AM ready. I can't let Jimin down..."

I didn't want to lose him.

"Hana, I know the feeling. You think he'll stop being friends with you if you back out? No, Jimin loves you. You mean a lot to him."

Jimin loves you.

He what?

"Jimin...what?"

He looked momentarily shocked, but smiled afterward.

"You're both so close Hana, obviously he loves you. Such a strong friendship is hard to find."

Oh. Friendly love.

"So, I can take my time?"

He nodded.

I smiled, "Thank you, Namjoon."

"Always, Hana."

***

"I'll need more time."

I bit my lip.

"Sure, take years for all I care, you just have to be happy, alright?"

"Y-you're not mad?"

He laughed.

"Hana, I'm not friends with you for gossip, we're friends because I like the way you are. One incident isn't going to change that, not for me."

I smiled.

"Ah, Jimin, thank you. Thank so so much, I-"

It's hard to believe I didn't lose anyone.

"You'd never lose me."

"How-?"

"Your eyes speak a thousand words, Hana."

At this, I pulled him towards me In a hug.

"Aw, Hana, don't be so scared, you'll never lose me."

I smiled. I'll never lose him.

***

Shit, I lost him.

"Jimin! Where are you, this isn't funny!"

We were out at the park again, and Jimin...well, he got lost.

I dialled Namjoon.

"Hana, hi. How'd-"
