POLARIODS AND PILLOWS.

seventeen

"hey.."

jimin spoke slightly shaky on the phone, sighing as he ran his fingers through his hair. he could hear jungkook's breathing on the other line, but of course, no response.

it had been a few days since the situation at the club, and since jungkook confessed his feelings to him. granted— jimin was drunk and alone, but he'll never forget the ice cold stare jungkook gave him. it sent shivers down his spine even thinking about it, and he hated it.

he needed to fix it.

"i know things are probably gonna be... strange for a while, and i just, i want you to know that i'm sorry. for— for making you feel like that. for so, so long." jimin whispered, rambling since he had so many thoughts that were begging to break through. "you've always been the one i could always come to. a-and i don't wanna lose you, bubby."

jimin sucked in a deep breath before rubbing his eyes, biting his lip as the silence grew thicker and thicker by each second ticking. it drove him crazy really, not having a damn clue what was going on in jungkook's mind. his head was spinning, and he felt dizzy. fuck, i really lost two of my favorite people from one mistake.

"jimin, you need to understand something." jungkook's voice finally found it's way through the speaker, causing jimin to sigh in relief. it felt so good hearing his voice again.

"yes, anything. tell me."

"understand that.. there are other people in this world who love you. who you can't see, because you're so hooked on someone. i mean, i know you love him. but at this point, you're only hurting yourself by staying."

the line went dead and silence filled the air once again, jimin's thoughts scrambled and messed up. he wished jungkook wasnt so goddamn right all the time.

fuck you, jungkook.

"i— you know, youre r-right." jimin mumbled quietly, admitting to himself that he truly was only hurting himself. this was rediculous— why was he so hung up on only yoongi?

now that he really thought about it, jungkook was truly right. he could have other people. other people really do love him. why does he only want yoongi? jimin's eyes widened, the sudden realization honestly scared the hell out of him.

holy shit, i could actually have a real relationship.. that isnt just, one sided?

"jimin? hello?" jungkook said as he tilted his head, jimin realizing that he had completely zoned out. he looked around his apartment in a frantic way, biting his lip harshly as he heard jungkook's breath through the microphone.

"h-hey, can you meet me somewhere? or, you like, come over? you dont have to— but, p-please."

jimin's voice shook as he spoke those words, unable to understand why he was so afraid but relieved at the same time. he could almost feel the hesitation through the phone.

jungkook knew it was a bad idea, he truly did. but the desperation in jimins voice, his slight stutter, he couldnt say no. he just couldnt. after a long silence, about 30 seconds, jungkook finally spoke up again in an exaperated voice.

"fuck— fine. i'm on my way alright? stay safe while i'm gone."

see? he couldnt even take his own advice.
