twenty-four

Jimin picked at his kimchi as he sat on his bed in the dark late at night. It didn't take long for him to realize he wasn't eating leftovers but instead an actual meal- Yoongi seriously ordered for him.

A smirk creeps up onto his lips but he screaches as his window opens wide, blowing the cool night air in.

"Yoongi what-"

"You're still talking to that loser" Taehyung smirks from the window.

"Okay one, he isn't a loser" Jimin slides his food off his lap and pushes himself towards the window, "and two, why are you here at 2 in the morning?"

"Why are you awake at two in the morning?!" Taehyung whisper shouts back before climbing through the olders window. His foot gets caught on the latter almost causing it to clank to the ground. Jimin cringes as waits for the ruckus but it never comes. He pops one eye open in Taehyung's direction who's fixing the ladder and cracking the window.

"Jimin" the younger finally mutters before tossing himself onto the bed and curls into Jimins waist.

"What happened?"

"Bad dream" the younger mutters as he tangles the two's legs together.

"About what?" Jungkook obviously.

"About him" Taehyung groans into the bed sheets, "also aren't these my pajamas-"

"Shhhh" Jimin pets the youngers head distracting him, "what happened?"

"He- he said he loved me too" Taehyung croaks into the mattress weakly.

"Taehyung that doesn't sound like a nightm-".

"It wasn't real hyung" the older finally mutters before glancing up to Jimin who's stuffing his face with kimchi. He furrows his eyebrows, "can you stop eating take out as I try to explain something important".

Jimin shakes his head, "I'm still listening Tae".

"Yeah? Well I'm not. Night Jiminie" he buries his face into Jimins abdomen before the older can protest- but does anyways.

"Taehyung get off" he whines attempting to push the taller boy off of himself.

"No" it's mutter by Jimins stomach,  he instantly starts to giggle.

"Stop Tae it tickles" he attempts to push the boy off of him again but to no avail.

"Where did you get takeout anyways" Taehyung pouts, "did you and Hoseok get diner without me?"

Jimin can't help as the blush spreads across his cheeks and he finds himself with a loss of words as he starts choking on his midnight meal. "Yoongi brought it actually".

"Oh my god Jimin!" The younger sits and yanks the takeout box out of the youngers grip, "he probably laced it with drugs you idiot!"

"Shut the heck up" Jimin smacks the youngers arm before taking his box back, "you're the idiot! He didn't lace it with drugs!"

"And why should you trust him?"

Why should I trust him?

"Why should I trust you?" Jimin frowns with one eyebrow higher than the other.

"Whatever" Taehyung sighs into Jimin loose sweatshirt before pulling the discarded covers over himself, "so you and Yoongi huh?"

"What about Yoongi and I" Jimin asks before taking another large bite of his kimchi.

"You two friends now?"

"Yeah, guess so".

I want to be more. Do I like him?

"Goodie" Taehyung sighs, "and now your eating his drugged kimchi".

Jimin kicks him so hard the younger giggles and struggles to not land hard on his ass over the edge of the bed. Jimin sighs as he finishes off his kimchi and leans over Taehyung in order to sit the box onto his beside table. "So have you talked to Jungkook?"

"Only on his birthday" Taehyung frowns.

Shit, Jungkook didn't tell him about his mom.

"Oh" Jimin frowns as he sinks further into the covers until his head is rested next to Taehyung's. Their eyes are pouring into each others with the little amount of moonlight from the cracked window. "I'm sorry".

"Have to talked to him hyung?"

Shit-

"No" he lies and cringes on the inside unsure why he felt pressured to not mention earlier. "I've been to busy working on a project".

"Which project?"

"Music Theory".

"Ahh" Taehyung nods before shifting under the covers. "Group project?"

"Yeah".

"Who's your partners".

"Not exactly sure, I didn't really pay any attention in class today to figure it out".

"You will" Taehyung shrugs, "eventually anyways".

"Hm" Jimin hums, "maybe".

"Is that why you're eating diner at two in the morning? Because you are busy with a project".

"Yeah actually" Jimin sighed before repositioning himself to look at the ceiling even if in the dark he couldn't make it out. "You should sleep Tae".

"I can't Jiminie" the younger whines into the pillow, "it's okay go to sleep now?"

And Jimin nods.

****

Jimin wakes up to the sound of his alarm and an empty bed. "He left" Jimin rolls his eyes before sitting up in bed and leaning over to his bedside clock. He smacks it rather hard before starting on his morning.

He's tired again- of course all the way till third period when he finally sees Yoongi who seems to be in a great mood.

"I've been working on the lyrics" Jimin finally smiles for the first time all day.

"Inspire you last night did I" Yoongi smirks leaning back in his seat.

"Last night?" Jimins brows furrow together, "hyung I'm not sure what you mean?"

"I sent you a clip of the audio last night" Yoongi shares the same confused look on his face, "the piano remember".

"No" Jimin sighs, "maybe- maybe I just wasn't paying attention. Piano music puts me to sleep at night". He pulls out his phone from his school bag and unlocks it. He opens iMessages to see Yoongis contact completely gone. "Yoongi you're contact isn't even in my phone anymore?"

You're still talking to that loser?

It's okay go to sleep now

"Taehyung" he growls, "he must have deleted you from my phone last night".

Yoongis confused gaze still remains upon his face, "what why?"

He doesn't like you? Doesn't want me talking to you? Angry you didn't buy him dinner too? "I'm not sure" the younger finally admits in a whisper.
