"What took you so long?!!"

He's all fluffy and sweet, walking out of the bathroom, rubbing his wet hair with a towel while holding his phone with the other hand.

He had picked comfortable clothes since his schedule tended to be, so usually these weeks, as empty as his fridge.

Even though he couldn't see him, Jimin was quite sure Tae was scratching the back of his neck in embarrassment.

Before the helpless spluttering and the unintelligible stuttering that were spilling out of his best friend in a shamefaced stammer could turn into some fake excuse that would obliterate the name of a certain Min Yoongi, Jimin interrupted.

"Don't think you'll get out of this one so easily," he warned "- but anyway, I can't even be mad at you just now because – I – GOT – A – CONTRACT!!!" he squealed into the phone full lungs.

Soon, not noticing the "dings" that announced a series of new messages, he too had to pull his cell away from his ear as "whoopees" and "hurrahs" and tee hees flowed from the speaker.

It was a long string of mixed hoots of laughter and comments of "I knew it!," "You're so gorgeous," "My plan worked," and "Of course they'd want you!" and then – then suddenly there was a pause in the shrieks of mirth.

Tae Hyung's tone completely contrasted with the previous one.

Without notice, the art student's voice dropped to this smooth, low velvet as he became a more serious kind of friendly.

"Minnie, this is truly great news... I'm so happy for you, and also because, you know, you've been so... Jiminah, you can't wait for ever for the day when you'll get to live your life..."

His voice died down as if he was afraid of hurting his dearest friend with words full of truth and background.

Jimin smiled softly and his tone also softened, his voice low now too.

"Thank you, Tae. And thank you for taking so good care of such a helpless friend as I am. And also, sorry for worrying you so mu- ... Hold on a second!!!"

His mood switched unexpectedly to a puzzled angry.

"What in the hell do you mean 'My plan worked' ??!!" his voice rose a notch higher and louder to an irritated cry.

"Oh! OH! Yoongi hyung is here!! I need to hang up!!" the lie in his voice was totally unhidden.

"No, no, no!!! You're not getting out of it so easily, Kim Tae Hyung, I told you - "

Jimin's indignant protest died down the second his phone rang with a second incoming call.

"Hae Wong..." he whispered as he stared at the screen with a worried frown.

It didn't go unheard and Tae Hyung's perspective did a whole one eighty.

The litany of protests had changed sides.

"Don't, Jiminah!! Don't pick up that motherfucker's call!! He's been ignoring you for light-years, he broke your heart more times than Einstein could count!!!! You have to -"

"I'm sorry Tae, I have to take this call..." his voice suddenly broke.

The sad apology in his words couldn't fool any of them.
