Together

Conversation

"Namjoon, I just wanted to say you're very whipped." Jungkook said.

"How am I whipped? Look in the mirror. Or look at Seokjin." Namjoon said. Jungkook blushed but quickly regained his confidence.

"At least we're dating. Yoongi is whipped as fuck for Hoseok. I'm whipped for Seokjin. But you're whipped for Jimin although you're not even dating." Jungkook shot back.

"So? I like him. Besides, why does it concern you? I can be as whipped as I want." Namjoon stuck out his tongue like the mature hyung he was.

"Look, you have no idea how painful it is to watch you shamelessly swoon over him even though you look away when Jimin tries to make eye contact."

"I don't swoon over him. And I do make eye contact." Namjoon huffs.

"Jeez, stop being in so much denial. You're really whipped." Jungkook rolls his eyes. "And when will you notice Jimin's jealousy whenever you're with Jackson?"

"Jimin's jealous? Why would he? Me and Jackson are just friends."

"All of us except Jimin know that, pabo. You haven't confirmed it to him."

"Well, how am I? Do I just walk up to him and say 'Hey, me and Jackson are just friends'. Do you have any idea how awkward that would be?"

"You don't need to tell him. Give him enough reassurance about you and Jackson. You guys have been friends for a long time. I think that would convince Jimin."

"But I'm socially awkward. Besides, whenever I manage to talk to him someone interrupts. And he always leaves. For example, Jackson always pops up randomly."

"Tell Jackson you like Jimin."

"Why should I? I mean, he knows I'm bi-sexual but why would I do that?"

"Don't tell me there's something I don't know about." Jungkook crosses his arms.

Namjoon scratches the back of his neck. "It just feels weird."

"Just tell him. It's not that big of a deal. Besides, he's going to find out eventually. If he hasn't already, that is. He probably can tell how whipped you are."

"Hey! I already told you I'm not whipped. And telling him is hard. You're just saying that because things are easier said than done." Namjoon grumbles.

"Maybe things are easier when said. Also, don't forget to talk to Jimin at some point today."

"What? I never-" Namjoon is about to argue but Jungkook is already getting up.

Jungkook runs off with a wink. "Good luck!"

"Why that bastard.." Namjoon muttered.

...

"Oh. Um, hi Jimin." Namjoon sits next to Jimin.

"Oh hey." Jimin's voice is soft, scarcely audible.

"I don't recall exchanging phone numbers. Do mind doing that?"

"Sure. Why not." Jimin nods.

Namjoon fumbles for his phone. And naturally he just had to be clumsy and make his backpack fall down. 

Jimin's hand brushes against Namjoon's as he gives it to him. The urge to claps Jimin's hand grew as Namjoon's finger's graced Jimin's palm.

Namjoon hands him his phone. Jimin typed in quickly. He hands it back. Namjoon sends a quick 'hello'. A ping! is heard in Jimin's pocket. 

"Is that all?" Jimin asked.

"We didn't really get to know each other well. So I thought maybe we could hang out." Namjoon's voice gets higher near the end.

"Sure. You seem like a nice guy." Jimin gives him a smile that makes his eyes into small crescents, lighting his face up. 

What a beautiful smile. I swear all his features are so beautiful. He's perfect. 

Namjoon snaps out of his daydream as Jimin begins talking again.

"I'm very short as you can see." Jimin gestures to his body.

Namjoon grins. "I'm much taller than you, that's for sure."

Jimin pouts and it's so cute. Namjoon feels his heart melt. Seriously, how can someone angelic  as Jimin exist in this world? 

"I love dancing. And singing. I met Hoseok at our dancing classes, as I told you before."

"Oh. I'm told I dance awful. And my vocals are pretty bad."

"You can't be that bad." Jimin says. Namjoon raises a eyebrow. "Are you sure?"

"I could always teach you how to dance, if you want." Jimin offered.

"That sounds nice. But please prepare your eyes to be blinded when you look at my dancing."

Jimin laughs. Namjoon smiles, his dimples popping out.

Damn, I think I just fell in love with Jimin even more than before. If that's even possible.
