"Why are you crying, Chan?" Jimin asked full of worries as he gripped onto Chan's shoulders tightly.

Chan looked down and then up, staring at jimin for a couple seconds before he pulled him into a hug. Jimin didn't hesitate, holding his best friend as tight as possible, "what's wrong?"

After a while Chan pulled away, "me too."

"What?" Jimin asked.

"I'm gay too ", Chan said through clenched teeth. It was the first time he ever said it out loud, " You're so brave Jimin ".

Jimin smiled sweetly, "You could've told me, you know that."

" I know ", Chan sighed relieved. It felt like the heaviness has finally been lifted from his shoulders, "and you could've told me earlier too "

"But I've just figured it out, I guess ", Jimin laughed .

" well, I've known for a long long time ",Chan smiled at Jimin.

"Have you ever had a boyfriend?", Jimin asked with his eyes sparkling from curiosity.

" I've had many, but the last one fucked me up "

Jimin smiled again, " What an asshole "

Chan looked at jimin as he wanted to say something, but something held him back. He asked jimin something instead, "so how did you know?"

"I've caught myself staring at his lips for too long ,to be honest. And then I asked myself, when did I ever even like a girl?" Jimin chuckled.

"Yeah, you never did ", Chan nodded in agreement, " so you like him or what?"

"I think so " jimin mumbled, "but I don't even know if he's into guys "

"Then just ask, it's the best advice I can give you. Or, you just wait until time helps you figure out everything yourself. He sure must be a cool guy"

Jimin hummed nodding his head, taking the advice from Chan. Chan has been through a lot in his life , so Jimin found that Chan had always interesting stories, and good advices to tell.

After a long day without yoongi, Jimin managed to get home. He knew it has only been a few hours since he has seen yoongi and had the adventure of his life but he missed him. He hoped yoongi had taken some rest while he was at college.

Around bedtime, Jimin decided to text yoongi.

Jimin :
Hey yoongi

Jimin :
I really had fun with you even though things didn't go like plan

Jimin :
Can you come pick me up?
10:12 pm

But yoongi didn't reply. Jimin kept staring at his phone, knowing that there was no way yoongi could've been sleeping at that time.

Jimin :
Yoongi?
11:20pm

Jimin :
Yoongi I've something to tell you
12:45pm

Jimin :
Okay I'll just go to sleep then
12:56pm

Jimin fell asleep with a sad feeling. He spent all his time waiting for yoongi but he didn't reply. Jimin decided he was going to make a move. Maybe tell yoongi he was gay or tell him he liked him immediately or maybe just stare into yoongis eyes so long that he'll realize. But that didn't happen.

The next day

When jimin woke up the first thing he did was check his phone.

Yoongi:
Sorry I was busy, see you at college
5:34 am

Jimin smiled and jumped out of his bed excited. He looked into the mirror noticing his pink hair was slowly fading away, revealing the blond underneath.

He wore a plain white shirt and some black skinny jeans, defining his thighs. Then, he smiled confident and walked out the house, ready for today and yoongi.

"Jimin!", yoongi yelled as soon as he noticed jimin in the croud. Jimin stopped smiling slightly at the elder, "hey yoongi"

Yoongi's eyes shifted from jimins face down to his pants," have you ever worn these before?"

"No", Jimin shook his head.

"You should wear them more. They look good"

Jimin smiled proud of himself for succeeding in getting yoongis attention.

"Thanks, yoongi "

"So, I guess there was something you wanted to tell me..  Should we go sit somewhere?"

"Let's grab some coffee ."

"Okay."

-

Yoongi and jimin were sitting in the coffee shop across each other. Jimin ordered a vanilla with strawberry cupcake and yoongi a dark coffee.

"Did you sleep well yesterday?" Jimin asked.

"Yeah, I've slept pretty well. I slept til afternoon ",yoongi chuckled taking a sip of his coffee.

Jimin chuckled back, "so.. the thing i wanted to tell you.."jimin stopped as soon as he noticed the dark purple spot on yoongis neck .

"Yeah..?"

"You know what. Never mind ", jimin huffed and stood up quickly, leaving everything behind. His notebook, his cupcake and most importantly a confused yoongi.

He doesn't deserve to know.
