Palinoia [Yoonmin]

14.

"Hey." Jin responded a bit breath taken.

"How...how have you been?" Yoongi whispered. He didn't know whether he should hug him or not. It had been such a long time he forgot how to act around him.

"I've been good. Where have you been? Why haven't you called?" He wondered hurt.

Yoongi was one of the only people that he truly cared about. He was mostly cold towards others.

Not him.

"I...I've been busy." He lied. Jin knew him like the back of his hand. So in fact he knew this was a lie.

"Oh. Okay. Uhh..." he mumbled unsure of what to say next. How could he carry on the conversation with a person he hadn't seen in over a year?

Who out of nowhere vanished into nonexistence without even saying bye?

No explanations were given. Until today Jin wondered about it. How Yoongi could just leave without thinking about it twice.

Jimin cleared his throat getting their attention. "Umm...Jimin can you wait by the cash register?"

"I can wait here with you." He reassured. He didn't trust this dude one bit. It was evident Yoongi was uncomfortable with the guys presence.

"It's okay. You can wait over there. It'll only be a few minutes."

Jimin looked in Jin's direction who now had a blank stare. Was Yoongi dating this dude? Because he seemed like a real dick.

"Okay. If you need me just call me." He said walking by giving him a look.

When he was away Jin finally spoke up. "Is that your boyfriend?" He wondered terrified. Yoongi's eyes widen suddenly worried. That's the last thing he wanted him to think.

"What? No. No. Of course not. Jimin and I are nothing. We're...friends."

"Oh. Okay."

"We're not dating." He clarified yet again.

"Well your friend is a dick. He bumped into me and then tried to start something."

"He...he's impulsive."

"I see that."

Yoongi bit the inside of his lip. He had so many questions to ask. So many things he wanted to talk about with Jin. They just couldn't roll off his tongue like he wished.

"How are you? For real."

"I'm hanging in there. I'm better than I was." He admitted.

"Good. I'm really sorry about what happened."

"It's not your fault. It has nothing to do with you."

"Then why did you stop talking to me? I tried to get up with you multiple times. You just disappeared from all social media. I even went to your condo several times and you never opened the door. Do you know how shitty that made me feel?"

Yoongi quietly sighed and nodded. "Yeah. I know. I just...I didn't know how to talk to you. I didn't want to put you in a weird situation. I mean you're my best friend and his best friend too. When we broke up I didn't want you to pick sides."

"You shouldn't have made that decision for me. You didn't even give me a chance to talk to you."

"I was just embarrassed okay?" Yoongi said a bit harsh. "I didn't—I don't know how to talk to you without thinking of him. All that I want to talk about is him and you're his friend too. It's just weird."

"I still want to be your friend." Jin whispered. "And I know that everything that happened changed a lot of things. It doesn't change the way I feel about you."
