Pick Your Filter - Park Jimin (Y/N) ✔︎

#10 - Talk to him

~The next day~

"Taehyung get your ass down here now!" You yell at the top of your lungs from the kitchen and then continue to eat your coco pops.

The said sleepy boy stumbles into the kitchen, his hair sticking up in random places and still in his pyjamas.

"Why the hell are you yelling? It's too early." He says in a raspy voice whilst slowly dragging himself towards the fridge.

"Is it too early to talk about Haewon?" You prop your head up on your hand in his direction.

He stops and turns around to face you. Confused, he takes his orange juice and sets it down on the island.

"How do you know about...?"

"Jimin told me yesterday."

"So you know about...everything?" Avoiding eye contact, he looks down at the counter.

"He's really upset about this, Taehyung."

"Look, it's not my fault that she chose me over him. It's because he tried too much! He was never himself. He would always act all different and trying to show off around her. I was just me and she liked that."

"Regardless, you still knew how much he liked her. He's not talking to you now by the way."

"Why does he always take everything to heart?" He groans, pouring his glass of juice.

"Taehyung it sounds like he's in love with her!" You raise your voice as saying them words isn't exactly making you feel better.

"Yeah and so am I! We both liked and wanted her. He just made his move before I did and it clearly didn't work."

"Wait, you liked her and you never told him?" When he doesn't answer, you groan and stand up. "Taehyung!"

"He spoke about her all the time, I couldn't tell him!" He defends himself.

"Yeah well now you've put all these thoughts into his head that you and her were doing things all this time."

"What? We never did anything, I only made my move yesterday by asking her out," His face scrunches up at your words.

"You could've atleast waited a bit before asking her out and not right after she ended things with him," Obviously your stupid twin had no patience to wait for atleast more than a day before asking her out.

"I think you should just try and talk to him." Standing to your feet, you walk over to your brother.

"Why should I?" He scoffs.

"Because he's your best friend!"

"You said yourself he doesn't want to talk to me so I'll keep him happy."

"Come on Taehyung, you can't not talk to him when you see him practically every day. Are you really going to let all these years of friendship go to waste because of a girl?"

"No," After a few seconds of thought he looks down and shakes his head. He sighs and looks back up at you. "Fine, I'll talk to him."

"Thank you," You smile and sit back down. "Also what did you mean earlier about him acting different around Haewon?"

"Well you know about his filters right?"

Oh definitely.

You've heard about them, seen them with your own eyes, had a taste of one particular one.

"I've heard about them."

"In school Jungkook and I noticed that he would never be himself around Haewon. He would act different. Everyday he would be different infact. He was doing it this week too but I don't know why that was."

Your eyes widen slightly and you avert your eyes to the counter.

"Yeah I noticed that too," Your eyes slightly widen. "So he basically just over did it with the whole filter thing?"

"We worry about him sometimes, that people don't see the real him."

You didn't actually realise that. But you can see it now, how the filters cover him up like a bandage. The way he was pretending to be someone else has probably made people have the wrong impression of him. And you're starting to feel incredibly guilty about it.

"It's like he's scared of showing people the real him. I don't see why though because he's perfectly fine as himself."

"So he's insecure about himself," You nod a little as you begin to understand. Taehyung nods too.

"That's why he uses these filters. The hyungs don't like it when he does so that's pretty much the only time when he'll be himself."

Nodding your head again you keep in mind to talk to Jimin about. It seems like something he could do with talking about openly to get it off his chest.

"Morning twinsies!" Kara walks into the kitchen. "Wow, it's a saturday and you're up early? Little surprised I must say." She goes to put the kettle on.

"Honestly I don't really know why we're up early on a saturday. What's wrong with us?" You shake your head and Taehyung agrees. 

"Oh, I forgot to tell you!" Taehyung thrn groans whilst remembering something.

"Tell us what?" You ask.

"The boys are staying over for the weekend. Maybe not Jimin however because...well Y/N knows."

"Are you kidding? How could you forget to tell us that?" Kara chuckles.

"I hope Jimin does come."

"Do you now?" Kara raises her eyebrow at you.

"So then he and Taehyung can sort their situation out!" You scoff.

That is the only reason you want Jimin to stay over. The two of them are best friends and you don't like to see them being mad at eachother. So this is the only way for them to solve things.

"Also, where are these six boys all going to sleep?" Kara asks Taehyung.

"Namjoon hyung is bringing some blow-up mattresses to put in my room. The ones that don't fit can just stay in the spare room or mom and dad's room I guess," He shrugs and goes out of the kitchen and up the stairs to his room.

"I'm glad I won't be here then." Kara sighs and sits down on the island.

"I'm sorry, what?" Your head snaps up.

"Why do you think I got up early? I have to catch a train out of town today; I have a conference meeting which I can't miss. I'll be staying out there and I'll be back tomorrow night."

"You're leaving me with 7 boys for the whole weekend?!" You stutter for words making your mouth look wobbly and weird.

"Relax Y/N, Taehyung will still be here with you so they won't try to do anything. And you and I can skype eachother. Besides, they're nice boys from what I've heard about them."

Okay, that's partly true. With them coming over you have the opportunity to get to know Jin, Yoongi, Hoseok and Namjoon a little more.

But with Jimin god knows what he has up his sleeve for you. The fact that he'll now be staying over under the same roof as yours gives you an un-easy feeling.

Standing to your feet, you place your now empty bowl of cereal in the sink and sulk.

Taehyung comes back in dressed in a baggy white t-shirt and grey tracksuit bottoms, a grey bandana on his forehead and a little pony tail tying his curly hair out of his face.

"What's going on?" He senses your slight annoyance and tilts his head.

"I'm going to a conference meeting at 11 today so I won't be back until tommorow night. I trust that you'll both keep the house tidy right?"

You and Taehyung glance at each other before nodding in agreement.

"I'll miss you guys you know." Kara pulls you both into her chest for a hug.

"We'll miss you too," You and Taehyung sink into her arms.
