The beeping of Jimin's alarm clock wakes him. He groggily turns it off as he sits up. He wasn't able to fall asleep till past midnight and even when he did, it wasn't that good of sleep.

He grabs his phone and checks for notifications. Nothing. He sighs as he rests his phone against his forehead. "If I see him at school, I will know he's okay," he says, trying to calm himself down. It's been nearly two weeks since the two have become friends and Jimin still worries too much like a mother. "I need to chill out," he grumbles as he rolls out of bed and walks out to the kitchen.

"You look like you slept on a rock," His mother chuckles as she hands him some toast with Nutella on top.

Jimin rubs his tired eyes as he takes the slice. "No kidding," he mumbles as he takes a bite. "Yoongi never texted back."

His mother looks over at him with a concerned face. "Well sometimes people get busy, Sweets. I'm sure he didn't purposely avoid texting you."

He sighs as takes out his phone and opens the conversation. "But he read it at three in the morning."

His mother's eyebrows furrow as she takes the phone to have a closer look. "Damn, he's a hardcore night owl... or it could be that he woke up in the middle of the night and read them and was too tired to reply. You never know," she hums. "Rather than assuming, why don't you ask him at school today?"

Jimin finishes his toast and goes to the sink to wash his hands. "You're right, Mum. I shouldn't be assuming things about him." He cups his small cheeks. "I'm a terrible friend."

"We are all human though," His mother says as she plants a kiss on his cheeks. "Have a good day at school," she pats his shoulder before walking to her office.

His mother was right. No one is a perfect friend. That's why it takes everyone's effort for friendship to work. If someone stumbles, the other will be right there to help him.

Jimin pulls his MP3 off of the charger and heads out the door. As he's walking he feels his phone to start to vibrate.

Yoongles:
Hey Jimin sorry for not replying yesterday
I just wanted to let you know that I'm at the intersection right now waiting for you :)

An uncontrollable smile forms on Jimin's face. He now feels better about the situation, now that Yoongi has replied.

"Dang, now I need to speed walk," He sighs as he starts to walk faster. "But it's for Yoongi and that's the only reason I'll be somewhat athletic!" He says as he bolts down the sidewalk.

Within a few seconds, Jimin slows down and puts his hands on his knees, trying to catch his breath. "Completely forgot about my asthma," he says between breaths. He looks up at the sidewalk. "At least I managed to get a whole ten feet."
