Jimin was feeling sad. Very miserable. The worst part is that he didn't even know why, but sometimes you just don't. He was feeling like he could cry at any moment as he worked on an essay in his laptop. The weather was not helping him too much, it had been pouring outside the whole day. It was still five in the afternoon and the outside looked so dark because of the clouds.

Jimin grabbed his m&m's and ate some as he felt a lump in his throat. Have you ever felt that way? He experienced that feeling once in a while. The feeling of despair, loneliness and, right after those feelings, came the regret. Regret of feeling that way because he couldn't be ungrateful. He had it all: a family, a good place to live in, he was studying, he was not even working yet, his parents helped him with his expenses. Then why?

Why?

He jumped off his bed when he saw a figure right in front of his bedroom door, looking at him because the door was open.

"Oh, my God! Yoongi, what the hell?" Jimin yelled when he recognized him. The latter quickly entered and helped Jimin to stand up.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to- I just- sorry." Yoongi scratched the back of his neck as he saw Jimin with those piercing dark eyes. "I just wanted to ask you if you're ok."

Jimin was a little surprised at the question. "Yeah, why wouldn't I be?"

"Umm, well, you're crying." The elder, in spite of his cold expression, sounded... worried?

Jimin's eyes widened as he brought his hand to his eyes and realized it was wet. In fact, he was crying, but he was too busy to realize it. How busy can you get to not realize your body is clearly showing you're hurting?

"Oh, it's nothing. I probably just yawned." He looked away from that intense gaze, but Yoongi knew it. He saw that confusing and heartbreaking scene in which seemed so deep in thought as he typed in his laptop a frown on his face and red eyes. He was eating those m&m's as if they were about to disappear. And suddenly Yoongi saw the tears. They were coming out as if they had been held for too long and it was not possible to do it any longer. And Yoongi didn't know how to react. What could he possibly do? He was debating when Jimin saw him and brought them to this mere moment.

"Yawning?" Yoongi asked with a raised eyebrow as he sat down on Jimin's bed. "Are you tired?"

"Yes." Jimin whispered. He was exhausted, but not in the way Yoongi asked.

"Then rest." Yoongi gave him a small smile and Jimin felt a little better because he was not used to it.

"I have to work."

"You're always working so hard on your papers. Take a break. Take it from a university professor." He smiled again.

"Yeah, but you're not my professor."

"Still. I can see you're tired. Rest a little." Jimin just hummed as if he was saying 'I have no time for that'. Yoongi then kicked off his shoes and laid on Jimin's bed to the latter's surprise.

"What are you doi-"

"Come on. Let's take a break." It was such a weird action from Yoongi, but he was really trying. That feeling of distance between them had to go away. And Jimin wanted it as well, so he just closed his laptop, put it on his bedside table and laid down besides de older. [I don't know if it's older or elder. I'm running out of English.]

"This is really weird." Yoongi smiled shyly. It was new. Jimin liked to know new things about Yoongi.

"I know." Jimin smiled too and his eyes almost disappeared. He grabbed his bag of m&m's and handed it to Yoongi. "Want some?"
