Diary of The Infinite

88| Jimin

I stayed at Hoseok's - Void's - side for a long time, just holding him and watching Yoongi's features over the top of his hair.

If Void shivered, End tucked the covers under his chin, when he reached out or mumbled in his sleep, End held him closer, shushed him quietly. There was an air of begrudging affection that seemed to radiate from him as he cared for his past lover.

But for some reason, it made me smile. It made me feel warm with this extra presence alongside us, not between them, with us.

A soft knock, almost inaudible, stirred my focus and I slipped out of the bed and tiptoed through the cluttered apartment to the door. The door was already opened and Changkyun and another man I didn't recognize were letting themselves in.

"Jimin? You stopped by too? How's Seok doing?" Kyun was saying, he moved almost effortlessly through the piles of stuff in Hoseok's apartment, picking his way into the kitchen to unload the bags in his hands.

"He's asleep right now, I didn't know you were on your way." My stomach twisted with guilt that I hadn't thought to make something for Hoseok.

"As long as he's not alone, Wonho and I have plans this evening but we were going to stop by on our way back, are you staying that long or should we?" He was talking almost to himself because I was still trying to make it into the kitchen.

There were piles of books, potted plants, and just so many photos. Some were tucked into albums or folders but there were many more scattered across the floor and table tops. Everything was familiar, just as End's drawings were recognizable to him so were these.

My eyes caught at the window, a plant was wilted on the sill, water damage bubbling the paint.

A lump formed in my throat. "Yeah," I managed, "we'll still be here. You could still stop by if you wanted to, i'm sure Hoseok will appreciate all this. But i'm not going anywhere right now."

Changkyun nodded, setting out containers of porridge and some other things their roommates had helped them prepare. "There's definitely enough here for the both of you, and if Yoongi stops by too. Help yourselves 'kay?"

"Yoongi's sitting with Seok right now, i'm sure he'll be hungry at some point, thank you. I'll make sure Hoseok eats."

"Alright, let him know we stopped by." Kyun smiled, with a wave and some shuffling he and Wonho were out the door.
