Best Friends <JM FF>

01

The sun shone bright in your eyes forcing you to squint as you looked over at the beautiful boy seated beside you. His soft creamy blonde hair was nestled messily on top his head, perfectly accompanied by his handsome but angelic features.
You never thought you'd ever be this close with this boy. He was out of your league everyone knew it, you knew it. So when the charming boy had approached you that warm day in June never did you think, that what he wanted from you was company. Comfort, someone who would be there to listen to him, to his problems, to his stories.
Flash forward here you are now with that same boy, and his golden heart. 𝘗𝘢𝘳𝘬 𝘑𝘪𝘮𝘪𝘯. "You okay?" The boy sitting beside you asked. "Oh.. yeah. I'm good" you replied sending him a brief smile. You two were best buds, he knows you so well, like the back of his own hand.

Which is what made it so hard for you, to hide your emotions from him. You were an open book to him just as much of an open book as he was to you. You didn't know when or how these feelings started.
Was it when he held you that night where he found you crying over your ex? Was it because of how sweet and caring he ought to be when it came to you? Or were you just becoming delusional from all the fanfic's you've been reading because you've been single for too long? You were dumbstruck.
Your mind was a mess, at night all you can ever think about is his sweet gentle voice lulling you to sleep with his fun stories of how his day was or how much he enjoyed spending time with his friends.
Seeing him hurriedly get up and place a chaste kiss on top of your head before quickly spitting out a "I'll see you tomorrow Cupcake!" Had sent you out of your little daydream. "Yeah... I'll see you tomorrow.. Chim." You belatedly said to yourself for the said boy had already disappeared into the distance. Shortly after you got up too, and began making your way back home, taking your wonderful time. Letting your unrealistic thoughts cloud your head once again, images of him and his sweet smile, his eyes disappearing into little crescents just flashed across your mind as you let yourself get lost in your dreamlike thoughts. You then catch yourself from getting swept up in them any more than you already had been, as you finally reached your doorstep.

"Mom~! I'm home!"

You announced as you slipped your shoes off before heading over to the kitchen to hopefully grab a snack. When you entered the kitchen you ended up with a mini heart attack, the cause of it? Your brother. 𝘔𝘰𝘰𝘯𝘣𝘪𝘯.

"Hey little sis! Oops did I startle you?" He questioned with slight concern glazing over his cute features. "Uh.. yeah. A little." You replied still trying to calm your shaking heart. "And where's my hug? You ain't gonna give your best big bro a much needed hug after not seeing him for 5 months?" He added playfully. "Haha, I missed you too big bro" you laughed before giving him his well deserved hug.

Later you headed up the stairs to your cozy room, you had gotten all caught up in catching up with Moonbin that you forgot about Jimin telling you that he might call you tonight. Realizing this you hastily took your phone out of your pocket checking if you had any missed calls from the dork, none. You sighed. "He's probably busy spending time with his girlfriend.." He's never mentioned having a girlfriend to you but he has occasionally brought up a certain girl in your conversations, whom you presumed was probably his girlfriend from the look in his eyes as he'd tell you about her, and the adoring tone in his voice just said it all. No words needed, this girl he'd talk about is probably the love of his life. What he doesn't know is, that he's the love of your life.
DRRINNG!!
You are snapped out of your thoughts by the sound of your phone going off. You pick it up off your bed and the caller ID reads "Chimmy♡"
Just as you answer, you hear his sweet as honey voice but it was on the verge of cracking..

"Y-Y/N.." "Chim?? What's wrong? Are you crying??" "Could- Could you.. come over..? P-please? I n-need you.. right now.." he shakily answered through the phone. "Ok, I'll be there in a few. Are you at home?" He nodded, momentarily forgetting that your not there in person "..yeah" "Ok, I'm on my way Chim"

While scurrying your way down the stairs your Mom stopped you. "Where are you headed at this time hun?" "Ah, Lisa asked me to come over. Said she wants to have a sleep over" she raised an eyebrow at you suspiciously but took the excuse anyways. "I don't fully buy it but okay. Just stay safe and call me alright sweetheart?" "Okay mom, Love you." You added as you continued on your way towards the door.
You hurriedly waved down the first cab you could get and hopped in, bubbling out the address to Jimin's house as if it was second nature. Soon as the taxi came to a halt in front of your best friends' house, you passed the driver his pay and got out briskly walking towards the property's grand marble white doors. Lightly dusting yourself off you buzzed the house's buzzer, easily being let in by one of the house maids.
"Jimin??" You called out as you wandered deeper into the gigantic spacious house, receiving no response. Your calm mind turned somewhat frantic, for fear of seeing what a broken state the beautiful boy might be in.

"Jimin answer me! Where are you?!" "I'm over here.." Getting a muffled and faint response this time, made the slight worry you had dissipate.
But the fear of seeing the state the boy may be in did not. Running up the stairs and over to his room you quietly open the door, to find a softly sobbing Jimin. His eyes were red and puffy from crying, cheeks stained with the faint trails of his tears. Never once had you seen the boy looking so.. Broken. So lost. So..hurt.
And just the sight of it made your heart break and shatter into so many pieces. You quickly went over and sat on the bed beside him, fondly eyeing his fragile looking curled up figure.
"Hey.. I'm here, what's wrong? Did something happen...?" He slowly turned to look at you before quietly answering "s-she.. she doesn't love me anymore.." and just when you thought your heart was already broken and shattered, that one sentence that fell out of his mouth was like a knife that had stabbed you in the gut. Like someone just stomped on the shattered pieces of your heart turning it into nothing but dust.
With a heavy heart and voice just barely off from wavering you quietly question. "who..?" You look into his sad eyes with their soft gaze still locked on you. "Jeon Eunhye.." your heart stopped at the sound of her name falling from his plump soft lips out into the damp cool air. Voice just barely above a whisper you reply. "You guys were together..?" The weeping boy gazed over at you with his red puffy eyes. "N-not exactly... it's complicated.." he mumbled out to you.
Once you heard him say "it's complicated" you heart ached.. he'd been in love with this girl for how long? Were they seeing each other? Did they not put a label on it..? Was it a secret..? All these thoughts flooded your head just from that one simple yet vague sentence. In his room with the deafening silence and only the soft sobs breaking out into the air, you hugged the heartbroken boy feeling his familiar warmth on you and his steady heartbeat.

The one thing you really had on your mind was

"Can he hear my heart beating? Does he know how much I like him..? Love him..?"
