Reflection | YOONMIN

Chapter 24

I decided to post this chapter a little early! Not by much, just by a day, but I've been late and stuff with the previous chapters so I wanted to post it now. Plus, things are really starting to pick up and I'm getting more excited to post and to write. 

SO GET READY AND ENJOY THIS CHAPTER, I KNOW YOU WILL ;)

Yoongi snapped his neck toward the door when he heard it open. He didn't invite Hoseok over today as he was at work and Yoongi just wanted to talk to Jimin alone anyway.

His heart started beating. It's not that he was nervous, he just still felt terrible for what he said.

"Hey." Yoongi said quietly.

"Hey." Jimin smiled softly as he closed the door and joined Yoongi on the couch.

Yoongi felt even worse. Jimin was still smiling, very weakly, but still even after everything.

Yoongi closed his laptop to turn all of his attention to Jimin.

"Jimin, I'm so sorry. So so sorry."

"It's okay." Jimin smiled softly again. "It hurt, I'm not gonna lie. But I forgive you."

"I know it did. I don't know what happened, I really didn't mean to say it. It just came out." Yoongi scratched the back of his neck nervously as he tried to explain himself.

"I know you didn't. You were right about what you said, but I know you didn't mean it in a malicious way, that's just the way it came out."

"Exactly." Yoongi nodded. "I really didn't mean it. I just felt really bad and I didn't know the situation. I just kind of assumed things, which I shouldn't have."

"No, you shouldn't have." Jimin chuckled lightly as he agreed with Yoongi. He didn't laugh or agree to be mean, he was just firm on letting Yoongi know that he was in the wrong."The truth is I was just hanging out with Taehyung for a little bit. Well, not just hanging out..." Jimin trailed off before picking back up on what he was saying. "But we kind of met in secret though, I didn't really tell anyone. Not Jungkook, not my brother, no one. We just hung out and fooled around. To be honest, I don't really know why I went back to him. I think it's just because I was comfortable and a little lonely." Now Jimin felt nervous and a little embarrassed. He sounded pathetic. It was easier to tell Jungkook because he's known Jimin for years and Yoongi hasn't known him for nearly as long.

Yoongi didn't want Jimin to feel like he forced him to tell him the situation, but he told him on his own so he must have felt comfortable enough to finally tell him.

"Oh. I had no idea. I mean, it was none of my business anyway. I do appreciate that you feel comfortable enough to tell me, but that's your business."

"I know, but I do feel comfortable telling you. And I didn't tell you because I felt ashamed with myself and I didn't want to be judged. Not that you would judge me, but I would definitely judge myself."

"Of course I would never judge you, dude. Those were your decisions and you didn't have to tell me."

"I know you wouldn't. But that's why I've been acting a little weird lately. I'm sure you noticed."

"I did, but I didn't want to assume anything. I thought it was because you didn't want to hang out with me." Yoongi admitted, who really had been worried Jimin didn't want to hang out with him.

Jimin immediately shook his head denying it. That was the last thing he wanted Yoongi to think.

"No, not at all. I just didn't want to tell anyone. But things got complicated anyway."
