BTS VMin Oneshots

Give And Take

"They always think that I'm always the helper and Taehyung's in the receiving end," Jimin sighed through his coffee. "But it's not. It's actually give and take to the point that it becomes like second nature, to the point that we don't care about the turns and number of times we help each other. I wish they would understand that."

Taemin scrunched his brows but nonetheless gave a wordless pat on the shoulder as comfort. "Jimin-ah," he starts in a gentle tone enough to make the younger turn eyes on him. "You don't always have to care about what other people say about you and Taehyung. Let them be because it's your lives; no one's telling you how to live." He paused to really gaze into his eyes. "Are you perhaps insecure?"

Jimin's eyes pop. "No hyung it's not like that at all." The shock dissipates for him to take on this more forlorn look. "I just want them to understand that we don't have roles or whatever. We do what we can for the other at that time. That's all there is. Why do they need to put a label?"

His older hyung stays silent to think. "Well I don't know what to say Jimin-ah. Do you think there's a reason why they label you as such?"

Jimin sighed heavily. "There's always a reason hyung. But what, I don't know."

"Maybe they see you most of the time helping?"

"I think I'm a caring person at heart Taemin-hyung," says Jimin.

The older one puts a finger on his chin in thought. The expression is broken with a soft smile. "Well you're not wrong dongsaeng. You always look out for others, more than yourself to the point where you forget yourself in the process." He puts a brotherly hand on his lap. "It's okay to care for others but don't forget to look after yourself. It shows in you."

Jimin offers a shy smile. "I'll try but there won't be any promises."

The door then bangs open to give way to a wide-eyed Kim Taehyung. He spots Jimin like a radar and without a word, goes over to them to manhandle his best friend and throw him over his shoulder, not minding the squeak of surprise that left the pink-haired male's full lips.

He shouts over his free shoulder "See you around Taemin-hyung!"

The older could only gape and smile awkwardly. That Taehyung sure was a surprise most of the time. He laughs softly. Was that a hint of jealousy he sees?

Jimin was thumping Taehyung's back as he continued to hold the back of Jimin's thighs to keep him from falling.

"Knock it off paboyah we're going home," grits out the taller of the two.

"But Taehyung I said to pick me up at five thirty! It's only three o'clock! You're two and a half hours early what's the big idea?"

Taehyung's brain short-circuited as he struggled to find an excuse. "Uh... Leader-nim called and said we have to do a dance practice."

He felt Jimin go limp for a while, as if he was thinking. "Really? But I thought it's a day-off today that's why I scheduled to meet up with hyung so we could catch up." He pauses. "After all, his company isn't doing anything today." He could imagine Jimin with a finger to his chin. "Should I go visit Kai-hyungie and see what he's up to?"

Taehyung's blood boiled. He didn't mean it to. But why does he feel so angry and left out? Is he... nahh of course not. Only couples get jealous.

Unconsciously his hand went up, only to come smacking down on the fat butt that was near his face. He didn't miss the gasp of surprise that flitted out Jimin's mouth. He froze but Taehyung pretended to act as if it didn't affect him in any way, despite his face a blushing mess.

"T- Taehyung you-"

"M- mianhae Jimin-ah."

It wasn't weird and foreign for the members to hit each other's butts playfully. They've grown close enough to consider it as playtime and nothing more. But when Taehyung did it, there was something else. There was something added to the normal and teasing hit. Neither boys wanted to acknowledge it.
