I've changed. Sort of.

Part 1

"Kim Taehyung. We eat here like every Saturday night. How in the world do you manage to always forget and come late?" Jimin says as Taehyung sits down in front of him after ordering some food.

"Some say its a talent", Taehyung says.

"Uh-huh. You must be so proud. Watch your ass gets fired later on when you get a job".

"Hmmm. Fire this piece of ass? I don't think so" Taehyung says flipping his hair jokingly.

"So....how are things with Minjae?"

"Mmm good. He doesn't bore me in bed so that's a hugggge bonus. I have no complaints".

"Ok. NOT what I meant. I mean when are y'all gonna be 'officially' dating"

"I think he's been working up the nerve to ask me. But.... I don't know. I'm also still seeing Bogum on the side....I don't know if I want have strings attached".

Jimin rolls his eyes and sighs at his best friend, "Taehyung Ive never seen you with anyone. I mean whatever makes you happy but....I kinda feel bad for these guys. They actually fall head over heels for you".

Taehyung shrugs as he dips a french-fry into some ketchup,"I'm pretty content just living like this. I mean why must people have relationships with labels? I just want someone I can hang with when i'm bored, fuck me outta my mind, and let me have my personal space. Why add commitment and all the unnecessary things to complicate our lives? Ya know?"

Jimin snorted,"Who do you think you're fooling? IM YOUR BEST FRIEND. Don't give me that new age thinking bullshit. You're just still hurt by you know who".

"I-I have no idea what you mean", Taehyung says not really looking at Jimin.

"Oh you know. High school. Bunny teeth? Doe eye? Baseball captain? Your first-"

Taehyung threw a fry at Jimin, hitting him in the face, "Why are you bringing him up? It has nothing to do with him. Tha-that was so long ago. Who'd get hung up on that piece of-"

"Ass?", Jimin offered, smirking.

"NO. Piece of trash. I'll never forgive him til the day I die".

"Ok.....so much for the 'its in the past' huh? What happened to you moving on from that? Besides....he tried to apologize and explain himself-"

"Don't care. Don't care. Don't care. He did what he did. Doesn't matter"

"I'm not saying what he did was right. Because for the longest I was pissed too. But....Tae....ever since then. You changed. NOT that I'm complaining but um.... you use to be this cute, geeky, innocent, kid who was timid and quiet and -"

"And stupid", Taehyung added, "I grew up Jimin. I learned that the best way to get revenge and protect myself is to be the bigger bitch. See? Now I'm the one breaking hearts and living happily ever after. Anyway....what's the real reason youre bringing up Jungkook? You haven't mentioned him in front of me in years".

Jimin smiles sheepishly as his friend saw right through him, "well....as you know....I haven't spoken to Jungkook in forever because I mean youre my best friend and that comes first, even if i am dating his brother....but um.... because Jungkook IS still Yoongi's brother....and while he's been studying abroad in the states...."

"Jimin just spit it out. God your nervous rambling is making me nervous" Taehyung says clearly annoyed now. Jungkook had been the topic for far too long during this whole conversation for his liking.

"Well.....He'smovingbackandlivingwithYoongi", Jimin says quickly and smiles innocently.

"But WE live with Yoongi", Taehyung says confused.

"Yeah..... you know that extra room Yoongi uses as his studio? Well Him and Joon got together to rent out a space instead. So..... This whole day we've been moving everything out of there, getting it ready for Jungkook".

Taehyung was so mad he literally felt like he was about to lose his mind.

"And you guys knew about this for HOW long exactly?" Taehyung says arching up his eyebrow.

"Ummm....lets say a while now?"

"Jimin."

"Oh alright. We've know for 3 months now. But in my defense I knew you'd try to move out and I don't want you to. PLEASE!"

"I can't believe you hid this from me. I mean ughhhh! Damn straight i would have moved out"

"It's been so long like you said. I mean youre just living together. You DONT have to talk to him. Just you know...be cordial. Also aren't you saving your money for your senior year project next year? If you move out now, it'll be such a hassle for you. Or if you live in the dorms you'll probably room with someone you don't like, who would probably go through your stuff. Please please don't leave me", Jimin says pouting

TAehyung sat there in silence, massaging his nose bridge right between his brows, trying to wrap his mind around the idea. Everything Jimin said was right, it would have been a hassle to move out. And now with one more person living there, the split in rent would have gone down. Also the incident had been so long ago...would it still really bother him that much? He just doesn't have to speak to the guy. That's it.

"Ok. Fine. Not like I have many options. So....when is he coming?"

"Well....."

"JIMIN"

"Tonight", Jimin says in a small voice.

"TONIGHT? You waited til the day OF to tell me? I don't even get to be mentally prepared?!"

"Yoongi and I were afraid you'll leave if you knew too soon. Also....there's kind of a small welcoming get together going on tonight....at our place......for him", Taehyung was done. He was so done but what could he do now besides strangle his best friend?

"I'm not speaking to you for a whole eternity Park Jimin"

"I'm sorry ok. You can not-not talk to me. We're besties", Jimin pouts again and looks like he was about to cry.

TAehyung sighs as he hates it when Jimin gives him that face, knowing fully well he could never resist.

"Ok fine. Fuck my life. Has the get together already started?"

Jimin nodded excitedly.
