Jin's P.O.V

"Why did you change your mind?" Jimin asks me behind the bathroom door as I change into a pair of his clothes he let me borrow. Would be pretty weird to go to a party in your school uniform and if the cops show up they won't know where I go.

"Because," I stop halfway with a pair of jeans on. "My dad came home." I proceed.

"He did? Jin why didn't you tell me"-

"And he isn't going to Seok-joongs wedding." I buckle the pants around my waist. "He talked shit about my mom and had the decency to ask how school was going for me." I shake my head grabbing a shirt from the bathroom counter where Jimin set the clothes.

"He came home to say that?" Jimin lowers his voice. I shrug knowing he can't see.

"I don't know. He'll leave soon anyway so it doesn't matter." I conclude placing my shirt over my head. It doesn't matter.

I hear a ding, from a phone Jimin's phone. Jimin moves away from the bathroom door to plop on Hoseok's bed. Here we are again in Hoseok's room. "Taehyung is coming...a lot of people are." Jimin tells me.

I remove myself from the bathroom only to stand in the doorway. "How do you know?"

"Jungkook messaged me. He told me it took a while to change Taehyung's mind but it worked. You'll have your night alone together." Jimin smiles and goes at his phone messaging who I know is Jungkook. Non stop and he types fast usually he'd call the person but I don't think he wants to hear his voice.

"Do you actually like Jungkook?" I ask sitting next to him.

Jimin sets down his phone and sits towards me. "I guess I do. I mean," Jimin sighs and lays down. "Is this how you feel with Taehyung?"

"How does what feel?" I question.

"Like," he closes his eyes. "You're on a cloud, almost like you're high. Shivering to be touched, happy non stop...something like that."  Jimin's phone goes off and he is on it right away. "I hate him though."

I snort with laughter at his sudden hatred. I don't know how that feels actually. Or at least I forgot that feeling . That feeling. Tonight, my night alone with Taehyung, is this real? I shouldn't say we've come this far to let such a moment go. But I'm scared. Who will be there? Anyone can walk in at any moment. Hae-Win, I bet she knows about the party and will attend it. Then again my friends say they have my back.

Should I not let this opportunity go? Live my life depressed knowing I let my high school crush slip out of my fingers? Still knowing I confessed yet I couldn't keep us together. Sounds about right. I don't want to leave depressed, sad, unworthy. I have to do something but not make things quick. Quick in a way I'll take myself at advantage and do something I don't want. Regret the whole night and my whole life. Why am I acting this way? Is it because my dad came home?

"Are you ready? Cause I need to get the house ready too with Hoseok." Jimin snaps me out of my thoughts.

"Yea, I am." I say. "Where are his parents anyway?"

"Anniversary date, they will be gone for two days while they "enjoy themselves" if you know what I mean." Jimin makes a hand motion to his mouth as he flicks his tongue on his cheek.

"Stop, I don't want to know!" I lower his hands laughing.

"That's what I want to see at the party tonight." Jimin bubbles.

"What?"

"Your smile!" Jimin yells tackling me.

Jimin squishes my cheeks, pinches my sides till I scream of laughter. This is my best friend. And I'm so glad I have him, I really hope for the best in the future for all of us. Jimin to find his interests and Hoseok to be himself. Everything and I also want them to always smile.
