Part 22

Jimin needs to wake up from this dream. He really does. Because these kinds of dreams never really come true and he's going to be so heartbroken when it ends. As someone who has been privy to quite a few of Taehyung's breakdowns, and held him through some of the nights when the pain was palpable, he is almost as invested in his bestie's love for the maknae as his bestie himself. He hates to see his bestie pining for his fellow Busan Boy. And he hates to think that there might be a day when the pining will turn into a heartbreak beyond repair. He cannot believe how much pain that will cause his Taetae.

But in this dream, that same bestie, that same Taetae, is devouring fellow Busan Boy's lips publicly. Well, not publicly, really, but details. He cannot believe this either. So he needs to wake the fuck up and console his heart upon realising that it was, in fact, all just a dream. Therefore, he does what any sane person would do (not!). He walks towards the two youngest who're shamelessly making out in his dream , and sits beside them to get a better angle. Then, he pinches his arm as hard as he possibly can (forgetting, for a while, that Jimin's been gymming).

However, nothing changes.

Jimin: Aaaaaah! What the fuck, why am I still seeing this? Why am I not waking up?

That breaks the trance. Obviously. Except, no one can still talk. Joon seems like he's been corrupted forever. Jin looks like a tormented parent. Hobi's eyes have reached their maximum limit of roundness. Yoongi looks disgusted, but also fond. Bogum is just, awestruck (when he woke up this morning, he definitely was not expecting to see his baby dongsaeng kissing the person he's arguably most afraid of in the K-Pop industry. Well, Taehyung is definitely not a baby anymore. He can rule that out from his dictionary forever. His eyes. His eyes need some kind of cleaning up. Pronto!).

Yoongi: Stop shouting. You're not waking up because you're not sleeping.

Jimin: What do you mean I'm not sleeping? Why are you here in my dream anyway?

Yoongi: Shut up Jimin! You're not dreaming! Taehyungah really... I mean, that really happened just now. In fact, the... the... Taehyung is still sitting on Gguk's lap. Disgusting. Get a room you two shameless creatures. I don't want to see that again, ever. (Could he sound more fond? No. Does he know this is just the beginning of many more such tortuous scenes unfolding? Yes.)

Jimin: The fuck? Taetae!

Tae: Yes, Jimin. (I don't know why he is so composed. Neither does Jeongguk, thank you for asking. Jeongguk.exe has stopped working)

Jimin: Don't yes Jimin me you traitor. WHAT the fuck is this?

Tae: This was me, kissing my boyfriend. In front of my hyungs, my idiot of a best friend, and my close friend whom I trust a LOT, Bogum hyung. Shit, Wooga should've been here. We'll just do a rerun for them, huh Ggukah? (Jeongguk weakly nods, he's still loading and no, he doesn't realise that his boyfriend just said that he would kiss him in front of his Wooga squad too)

Just by the way, Joon, Jin and Hobi's status remain unchanged.

Jimin: Rewind.

Tae: Huh?

Jimin: Go back. One incident at a time. Kissing? Boyfriend? Rerun? I don't understand.

Tae: Which bit?

Jimin: The WHOLE thing you douchebag. What do you mean boyfriend? Since when is Jeon Jeongguk your boyfriend?

Jin: Joon, close your mouth, or you'll catch a fly. Can we all sit down? Kim Taehyung and Jeon Jeongguk, never mind, Jeongguk is in another world. Taehyung. Mind explaining?

Jimin: No he doesn't. Even if he does, I don't care. You (pointing to Taehyung), explain. Balo, jigeum, right now!

Tae: Calm down Chim. This is what you always wanted.
