Jimin stared at his best friend momentarily, he knew about his crush, but how? Yoongi seemed to sense the questioning look "I saw the sketches in your room" he admitted sitting back down against the garage wall. Jimin began to tidy up his tools so he could shut up shop, turning slightly to Yoongi "so what do you think of him?, of Jungkook?" he asked a little cautiously. "Why?" asked Yoongi, "what does it matter what I think, I don't wanna date him" he scoffed. Jimin was a little taken aback by Yoongi's sudden attitude, "you're my best friend, of course it matters" he sighed.
Yoongi shook his head "what do I think" he mused, "all show and no substance if you ask me" he said without a hint of amusement. "He's interesting" said Jimin, "you mean he's hot" fired back Yoongi. Jimin sounded pissed "I didn't say anything about his looks". "You wanna start a book club with him, get on the prom committee?" Yoongi spat back sarcastically. "I didn't say I wanted to do anything, I just find him interesting is all" Jimin stated locking up the garage and turning the open for business lights off.
They began their walk home, the silence awkward between the two friends "I'm sorry for looking at your private sketches" said Yoongi quietly. He had no right to be mad at Jimin, here he was finally opening up to him about the boy he liked, but it left a nasty taste on his tongue and a gaping hole in his heart. Jimin shrugged, "S'kay, they're just drawings, like I said, I find him interesting, there's just something about him" Jimin admitted not hearing the crack of Yoongi's heart. "Listen, take my advice" said Yoongi, "don't go messing where you don't belong". Jimin stopped in his tracks "what do you mean where I don't belong?" he questioned accusingly.
"The way this boy and his big money, and cruel heart society spit on everybody. It's not interesting, it's pathetic" said Yoongi, not sugar coating how he felt about the populars. "He's not big money" said Jimin, "he lives just next to the tracks, yeah it's on the nicer side, but they aren't Taehyung rich" he defended. It was Yoongi's turn to get defencive "so what?, he runs with the rich and famous, I classify that as guilt by association, and I'm sorry Jimin, but he wouldn't date you in a million years". Jimin was offended "Why cos he's out of my league?, cos I'm just a nerdy art geek?, a freak?" he snapped as tears were threatening to fall at even his friends low oppinion of him.
Yoongi pulled Jimin into his arms "you know thats not what I meant Min" he breathed as he held Jimin tightly. "I'm sorry" began Yoongi, "why would he be with a douchebag like Kim Taehyung if it wasn't for status and money?" Yoongi asked "thats all I'm saying Jimin, you've got neither, so that's why Jungkook wouldn't be interested". Jimin pulled back from Yoongi "you don't know him Yoongs, he's actually really nice, he looks at me like I'm not a nerd with no money, like I'm a person", Yoongi rolled his eyes. "The fact that you're judging him because of the people he hangs with, or the money he has, are the same reasons you hate people who judge you because you don't. Don't you think everyone deserves a chance, you're being kind of a hypocrite" Jimin huffed.
Jimin was hurt that Yoongi wasn't on his side for the first time in, well, in ever. Usually he could count on him to offer sound advice, or at least try to see things from his perspective. They'd never disagreed so venomously and Jimin couldn't understand why he was so dead set against Jungkook. If Jimin hadn't known better, he would have thought that he was acting almost jealous "Listen Yoongi" he began, "you have no idea how I feel, so maybe you need to butt out for once". Yoongi looked shocked for a moment, then down at the ground "I know exactly how you feel" he whispered. Jimin studied the sad look on his friend's face, he looked hurt. "You're in love with someone?" he asked, "I didn't know" said Jimin processing this sad aura that had fallen over his best friend.
"There's a lot you don't know about me" Yoongi said in a sad whisper. "Is it Hobi?" Jimin asked, his heart was pounding now, but he wasn't sure why. Yoongi let out a half scoff, half laugh, "God no" he stated "why would I be in love with Hobi, I was 15, that's old news" he said incredulously. "You guys looked pretty cosy together at the club" Jimin slipped out before he realised what he'd said, and mentally screamed at himself to shut the fuck up. "You were at the club?" asked Yoongi, eyes wide in disbelief. Jimin looked contrite now, "I'm sorry" he whispered guiltily "I came to surprise you, but I saw you guys together, so I left. You were fucking awesome by the way" Jimin said trying to lighten the mood.
"Nothing happened between us" Yoongi interjected quickly looking into Jimin's eyes, "It felt wrong and I couldn't do that" he trailed off. "To the person you love?" asked Jimin, "yes" whispered Yoongi feeling like he couldn't breathe all of a sudden, the close proximity of their bodies not helping, and the deep way Jimin was looking into his eyes. Yoongi cleared his throat nervously, stepping back, "Look, lets just drop this right, and that club is dangerous" he said changing the subject "I've told you it's not a place you should be at, anything could have happened to you". "I'm not a baby Yoongi, I'm the same age as you. I wanted to see you perform, I should have told you, but nothing happened to me, I came, I left, end of story" Jimin huffed out.
Yoongi knew if the conversation carried on, he would be giving away more than he should and he didn't want that, he couldn't want that. Jimin was his world, only his world seemed to be spinning of it's axis at that moment. The truth was, he was scared, he knew how fantastic Jimin was, and he saw the look that Jungkook had given him from the car, the one that saw it too. There was no room for a third wheel in this relationship, it had always been Jimin and Yoongi against the world, but this threatened that.
Yoongi always romanticised that sometime in the future Jimin would realise that he was the one, but why would he? Why would Yoongi ever have a chance when muscle bound perfection with a dazzling smile and a kind heart had turned the head of the one he loved? "Lets go get pizza" he suggested, changing the subject again, ruffling Jimins hair "Namjoon's treat" he smiled. But the smile didn't quite reach his eyes, something that Jimin took note of, and he was left wondering about the mystery man Yoongi was keeping secret.
