Dear Jimin

Chapter 22

"Jimin!" Taehyung called, waving his hands high up in the air, his wide grin displaying, that grin that always brightens up Jimin's day. Jimin just arrived and seeing Taehyung's smile early in the morning made his day even better. Already jumping up and down, Taehyung continued to flail his arms in the hallway, even moving his body from side to side, and Jimin couldn't help but turn a deep shade of red, suddenly embarrassed because now everyone was looking at him and his oh-so-hyper bestfriend, Taehyung.

"Shh, idiot, everyone's staring!" Jimin shouted back, motioning for Taehyung to put his arms down and stop embarrassing him for once, but even though the word 'idiot' escaped his lips, he still ran his way going to the taller one, and when he reached Taehyung, he couldn't help but hug him tight, not planning on letting go anytime soon.

"I missed you."

"I missed you, too, Jiminnie," Taehyung let out a deep laugh, stroking Jimin's dark fluffy hair, and eveloping the shorter one in his arms to bring him in even closer. Jimin was warm, and Taehyung loved the warmth that spread through him. It's been days since they've last had a proper conversation, face to face, their last conversation only thirty minutes long, on the phone, about how Taehyung came over to their house in Daegu, and to Jimin, half an hour wasn't enough. Half an hour of listening to Taehyung talk about him playing with his cousins nonstop back home wasn't enough. Half an hour of hearing Taehyung constantly repeating 'I miss Daegu' like a prayer wasn't enough. "I missed you, and hey, I got something for you."

Jimin pouted at the loss of contact, immediately missing Taehyung's warmth in that cold, foggy day. He watched as Taehyung opened the zipper to his black backpack, to find out Taehyung had pulled out a box, covered with some colorful, sparkly gift wrapper, and Jimin couldn't stop himself from smiling wide, receiving the gift from Taehyung's hands, and by the next second, he crushed Taehyung in his arms, hugging him tight once again.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!" Jimin repeated again and again, jumping up and down Taehyung's arms. "You're the best, Taehyungie, what's inside it?"

Now looking at Taehyung's dark brown eyes, that playful grin on his face, Jimin tilted his head to the side, and asked him.

"Hmm? What's inside?"

"Something that reminded me of you, and a little something that might help you because these past few days, weeks, I don't know, well, you've been bothered about something, maybe trying to find out the answer to your question, and you've been confused, especially," Taehyung chuckled and Jimin smiled, seeing Taehyung's straight, pearly whites showing. He took in the sight of his bestfriend: Taehyung's perfect nose, his tanned skin, his long lashes. His bestfriend was beautiful.

"Open it later once you get home," the taller one said, and Jimin nodded and pursed his lips like a little child obeying his parents.

"Hey! You two! Stop being all sweet and lovey dovey! Give us some love, too!" Hoseok hollered with a smile as bright as the sun, waving his hands like Taehyung a few minutes back. When Jimin and Taehyung faced him, they were greeted by Hoseok's tight embrace and in ten seconds, another person came in and they became a bundle of happiness and hugs and long limbs over one another and with each passing second, it became harder and harder for them to breathe.

"Too...tight!" Jimin choked out, his face red as he was squished between all of them, now noticing that it was Yoongi who followed Hoseok and now four people all forming a small circle hugging each other was too much for Jimin.

But he couldn't hide that smile on his face.

"Ngaw, we're so full of love," Yoongi said with a smile for once, and immediately continued, "But we should stop hugging now or else people would forever think we're crazy and I don't want that."
