That night Jimin lay on his bed, reminiscing their evening. Why did he go out of his way to make the youngest happy? Why couldn't he stick to the usual schedule? Hell, he had even screwed up the last session of the day in favor of their visit. Not that Jungkook complained about it, but now that the day was over Jimin couldn't stop thinking how reckless and irresponsible his actions were.

The hug Jungkook gave him kept replaying in his mind. He radiated warmth and security that Jimin felt himself sinking into his embrace. They fit so perfectly together and it was that feeling in the deep pit of his gut. Something about that hug stirred a sense of belonging. It was nostalgic and it was like coming home after a long day.

That was what panicked Jimin. He shouldn't feel this way about his boss. And sure Jimin wasn't into men, was he? He ran a hand over his face, grabbing his phone from the bed where he had carelessly dropped it earlier. He hadn't bothered to wash up or change, his mind preoccupied with the events of the evening.

His fingers hovered over the recent contacts before he pressed the call button for Hoseok.

"Hello," Hoseok answered after two rings in a hoarse voice.

"Hyung..." Jimin breathed, his thoughts still in shambles.

"Are you okay?" He heard ruffling of sheets and his sound clearer, all hints of sleep gone.

"Yes," Jimin exhaled. "Yes."

"What is it?"

"There's something...I...um...hyung, how can you tell if you like men?"

"Huh? W-wait. You like men?" His voice rang with shock.

"Hyung, I don't know." Jimin suddenly regretted having this chat in the first place. "It's complicated. I don't know what's happening...It could be nothing, but—"

"Tell me everything."

Jimin sighed. Then he began telling his hyung from the day he started working at Jeon Corporation. Hoseok was silent the entire time. His hyung was a good listener, speaking only when he needed to but he always listened and offered a good piece of advice.

"I...I don't know what's happening to me, hyung? When I see Jungkook I feel something. I...I feel something for both, okay. It's like I've known them for years. But I can't remember."

"You feel like both men are connected to your past in a way you can't explain."

"Yes."

"But what you feel for Jungkook is much more deeper than what you feel for Taehyung."

"Yes."

"You like it when he hugs you."

"Y-yes."

"You want to make him happier."

"Yes."

"You feel something when he gets touchy and this feeling is more than just a friend."

Jimin exhaled loudly, throwing his forearm over his head. "Maybe. I was never into men. You know me, hyung. This is all new to me."

"But Jungkook makes you feel things you never felt before."

"Yes."

"Do you think Dr. Seokjin knows more than he let on?"

"I know he knows more. He wouldn't have told Jungkook about my memory loss otherwise. And I don't have to courage to push him for details. I...I'm afraid I might not like what he has to say. I mean...he wouldn't hide it from me if it wasn't that serious. He might have his reasons." Jimin threaded a hand through his blonde locks. "I...I'm just confused about all this, hyung."
