The Kissing Booth : Fallout [Completed] ✅

Chapter 3

JIMIN

"Calm down poppet. What's the problem? Who do I need to fuck up?"

I was angry. Taehyung had called me, strain evident in his voice. At first, he had refused to divulge what was bothering him but I knew how to make my brother talk. Soon, Taehyung was crying softly into the phone.

"It's okay Jiminie. I can handle it. It's just stressful you know? And it's hard to be away from you. You know I don't do too well if you're not around."

I didn't want to press him for more. Taehyung was one of the softest and sweetest people I had ever known. I was exactly three minutes older than him and that has given me the edge to always want to protect him. Although we had been separated for 16 years, the bond we shared had brought us together again. We were brothers, twins, and that connection had helped us to find each other after so many years.

"If you're sure then I won't force you but just remember, I'm only a phone call away. I'll be there in 20 minutes if you need me anytime. Okay?" 

"Okay. I promise. I'll tell you if I need you. So what's happening with you? How are things?"

"I'll tell you all about it when I get home later, okay poppet? I gotta go now. My mentor is on my ass. I love you."

"I love you too. See you later."

..........

I walked to my next patient, Taehyung's voice laced with distress, bothered me. Taehyung had the tendency to let people walk all over him. But I wouldn't let anyone bother my baby bro. I'll get to the bottom of it sooner or later.

I was so distracted with my thoughts that I bumped into a solid body and almost fell over him.

"Whoa there! You almost made me kiss the floor!" I looked up to see my old friend Jung Hoseok.

"Holy hell Hobi! What the fuck are you doing here?"

"Mind your language Jimin. We're at work." He wasn't scolding me. It was just Hobi's way to boss others around.

"Fuck off bitch! What the fuck are you doing here? I haven't seen you in forever. You and Yoongs disappeared off the face of the planet!"

Hoseok laughed at his friend. He hadn't changed one bit.

"I'm a nurse here Jimin. I'm training at this centre. I have another six months left then they'll post me."

"That's great Hobi! Atleast I have a friend here now. I'm off to do ward rounds. We'll catch up in an hour in the caf."

Hoseok and Yoongi had been with me since kindergarten. They were my greatest friends. I was glad to have Hoseok here.

I checked on my patients and made my way to the caf an hour later. I was surprised to find Hobi seated with Min Yoongi. What was he doing here?

"Min Fucking Yoongi! I swear to God, if this isn't a day for surprises. First Hobi and now you. What are you doing here then?" I winked at my old friend.

He blushed at my audacious behaviour. I swear, Yoongi could become as red as a tomato sometimes. It looked so cute on his pale white skin. Wait, what was I just thinking? Scratch that.

"Hi Jimin. I'm training to be an anesthesiologist here."

"Well...well, who would have thought that we'd all and up in a similar profession? Even Taehyung is doing his internship. But he's at Seoul General."

"That's so good to hear Minni. How is your brother by the way?" Hoseok asked.

"He's well. You know how Tae is. But he'll adjust soon. It's a new place for him and he doesn't really do well with new, without me. But I guess, he had to learn to do stuff without me. I can't always be there for him."

"That's true. So, how's the girlfriend Minni?" Hoseok winked at me.

My friends knew how I was. Always jumping from one girl to the next. I laughed lightly at that and went to get my order of a sandwich and coffee. They had already got their meals.

"I'm single and ready to mingle, as it were," I winked at them. They laughed at my joke.

"So, you still like girls then?" It was Yoongi. I looked up into his shy eyes and nodded.

"You know me Yoongs. But I don't know. It's become quite boring lately, chasing girls for sex. I think I need to find some other pastime to humour me," I chuckled.

Yoongi's eyes went wide. And Hoseok cleared his throat, eyeing Yoongi before he continued to chat about old school friends and their adventures while studying.

It was a good break away from work but I soon had to get back to my dragon mentor Dr Kon Ryung. She was a real bitch.

As I made my way back to the juniors station, Yoongi caught up with me.

"Urm, do you wanna go out for a drink later Minni?" He asked me cutely. I just wanted to pinch his cheeks. He was so cute.

"Sure. Tell Hobi will you. I'd like to catch up with you guys."

"Hobi....right. I-I'll tell him. So I'll see you outside at 6?"

"Perfect Yoongi." I winked at him and he blushed profusely.

He was too cute. As I made my way down the hall, I felt happier and lighter at heart. I had two of my best friends with me and I couldn't be happier.
