It had been a few weeks after everyone returned. The three mundanes sat around a bonfire while taking swigs from bottles of wine. There wasn't some traumatic experience that happened that they had to drink away the pain from. It's just that the 3 of them felt nostalgic that night and so they went back to how they used to spend their nights together before they ever left Raefield.

Sitting around a fire, drinking alcohol and singing their hearts out. It was nothing special but those nights have shaped their friendships into what they are.

"Apparently he likes someone else." Taehyung scoffed before taking another swig. "What? The man rarely leaves the damn house. Jimin, did he meet someone in Hawaii or something?" Namjoon asked, making Jimin pause mid gulp. "Uhm, I did see him talking to someone." That wasn't a complete lie, Yoongi had buddied with the bartender that allowed him to get drinks for free. He had bragged to Jimin about it multiple times whenever the mundane was complaining about the expenses.

"He chooses someone in Hawaii over me? Someone he can actually be with every day?" Taehyung was visibly upset, Jimin put his hand on his best friend's shoulder. "I'm sorry Tae." Taehyung looked with saddened eyes at his friend, putting his hand on top of Jimin's. "Thank you Minnie, I know I can always count on you. You're my best friend."

And there goes Jimin's heart, breaking into a thousand pieces. "I am turning in for the night I think." Jimin announced, putting the bottle of wine down. Namjoon and Taehyung bid him farewell before resuming their conversation.

Jimin stumbled back into the mansion, he was quite tipsy to say the least. He aimlessly wandered around the mansion before Seokjin showed up and guided the dazed mundane back to his room. Jimin plopped down on his bed, exhausted. "Goodnight Jimin." Seokjin said before closing the door. "Night." Jimin mumbled under his breath.

Jimin had been tossing and turning in his bed for hours to the point where the sun started rising. Looking like a corpse, Jimin crawled out of bed and made his way towards Yoongi's room.

He quietly opened the door and sneaked in, his boyfriend was still fast asleep. He looked peaceful and at ease, the complete opposite of how Jimin felt. Jimin crawled into the bed next to him, laying his head on Yoongi's chest to find some comfort. Surely at the crack of fucking dawn no one would be awake to disturb them right?

Yoongi stirred around a bit before his arms wrapped around Jimin. "What are you doing here?" His quiet and groggy morning voice whispered to the mundane. "I don't know what to do." Jimin mumbled, Yoongi's fingers ended up in Jimin's hair, stroking the grey locks in an attempt to comfort him. "What do you mean?"

"I'm hurting my best friend."

"You're not."

"I am, he doesn't know it is me but him not being able to have you back.. It's breaking him Yoongi." Yoongi took in a deep breath and rubbed the sleep out of his eyes. "He'll move on, everyone eventually does. You and I both had to." Jimin pushed himself up and looked over at his lover. "I can't do this Yoongi. I'm betraying him, my best friend. He trusts me..."

"Jimin, please don't."

"I think we should break up, it's for the best." Jimin eventually spoke up, his eyes meeting Yoongi's disappointed ones. "You breaking up with me isn't going to change my feelings. I won't take Taehyung back even if I was single."

"Do it for me, please." Jimin frantically reached out to hold Yoongi's hands. "No, absolutely not."

"Please, please, if you care about me you would." Jimin cried out, tears building up in his eyes. He didn't want to do this to Yoongi, but Jimin's friendship with Taehyung goes way back. "I do care about you but I'm not going to do that, it isn't going to change anything. I would still want you at the end of the day."

"Like you said, move on. You've done it before. We've been together for what? A little over a month? You can move on." Yoongi pressed his lips in a tight line before he pulled Jimin in for a hug. Jimin softly sniffled before he allowed his tears to fall. "God, I'm such a fucking crybaby." The mundane complained, clutching onto Yoongi for dear life. "You're not."

"I am... I am the one breaking up with you yet it's me who's crying." Yoongi pulled back from the hug, cupping Jimin's face in his hands. "You're not breaking up with me."

"I am."

"No. Proposal rejected, better luck next time." Jimin sighed, smacking his hands on Yoongi's thighs. "Don't make this harder for me."

"I am going to make this very hard for you. It's not happening, Jimin. You don't want this."

"But I do want Taehyung to be happy." Yoongi rolled his eyes. "Stop. Seokjin doing this exact same thing concerning you and Jungkook is still etched in my brain." Yoongi made sure that Jimin's eyes were meeting his when he uttered his next words. "I want to be with you."

"You're going to make me cry again."

"Good." Yoongi pulled Jimin closer, pressing a sweet kiss on his lover's lips.
