Kim Seokjin has a journal. Boring, right?
Wrong.
All of his friends know that he has one, but he has never let anyone look inside.
One day, that changes.
BOOM his biggest secret is out, and his life takes a turn for the better or for the...

"IS HE ALLOWED TO LOOK THAT GOOD!?" Jin gulps and takes a couple of deep breaths to lower his pacing heart. "Oh my gosh my hearteu, I need to calm the flute down."
As seconds slowly tick away in silence, Namjoon's face falls to the lack of response. "... Is it that bad? I-I'll take off the coat! I knew it wasn't a good idea-"
"NO!" Jin's sudden outburst startles Namjoon.
Jin laughs and tries to regain his composure. "I mean no, Joonie, it looks good... You look good..." The older softly lets the corners of his mouth lift up and takes an interest in the floor again.
"Haha, thank you hyung." Namjoon's dimpled smile resurfaces as the awkward silence becomes a little more comfortable.
"Hyung?"
"Yeah?"
"Do you want to go to the party... together?"
Jin, who visibly double-takes, is taken aback at his Joonie's words.
"W-what?"
"Do you want to go to the party together?"
"Y-you mean like... together together?"
"..."
Namjoon suddenly bursts out laughing at the older's reaction. "Noooo hyungggg! I meant like in one car together! It'd use less gas (because save the environment), and anyway, my car is already parked outside of your dorm!"
Jin slowly and awkwardly laughs along, rubbing the back of his neck as he cringes at himself.
"Oh my gosh Hyung," Namjoon continues while shoulders bouncing as he laughs, his eyes half filled with tears. "You should've seen your face! You looked so scared when you thought you had to reject me! You looked so scared to say no!"
"I would've said yes." Jin forces a fake laugh and watches the younger double over, laughing.
After what feels like the fifty-eth awkward moment, and after Namjoon finally stops laughing and leaves to start the car, Jin quickly grabs a small bag and stuffs his toothbrush, shirt, and phone inside. Yup, Jungkook's birthday party was a sleepover. So what if they were full-grown men? Sleepovers are for everyone.
While looking through the pile of clothes on his bed for a loose pajama shirt, he once again encounters his journal and sighs.
"It is so hard to act normal around him. I used to be able to, like what? Four years ago? Then I realized I liked him and... I don't even remember the last time I could look into his eyes without dying internally. UGHHH this is so... what's the word Joonie taught us? Trusfrating? Yeah, trusfrating. This is extremely trusfrating."
Jin looks back at his journal as he hears Namjoon honk the car outside. Without thinking, he quickly grabs it and shoves it into his bag, just in case his roommate comes back and tries to look for it once he's out.
It's not like any of his trustworthy friends will read it without his permission anyway, right?
