Perplexing Simplicities

episode㉒

Jungkook gulped down the last bite of his sandwich nervously, grabbing his bags and books. "Uh... I don't know yet..." he backed awkwardly out the door waving as he went, "but I'll let you know! Bye!"

They both waved as Jungkook ran off once again but Jimin frowned once he was out of sight. "He still seem off to you?"

"Definitely." Taehyung crossed his arms. "Maybe it's just stress."

Jimin nodded slowly and walked over to give Taehyung a sudden hug. Tae gladly hugged him back, nuzzling his head gently into Jimin's sweater.

"Is this for anything in particular?" Taehyung asked in a muffled voice.

Jimin shook his head against Tae's back. "No. Just because I love you."

Tae smiled and squeezed him tightly. "I love you too Chimchim."

Jimin giggled and released him. "Okay let's go work."

Taehyung nodded and planted a gentle kiss on Jimin's head. "I can do dishes you take care of customers?"

Jimin nodded and they went to work.

Just two friends living out their dream together. Working and hoping and dreaming together, because that's how friends are. They make each other's dreams come true. Even when all they can dream of is to be together.

Thanks Jimin🥳

Yoongi glanced, annoyed, at his phone that was buzzing a little too much for comfort. He was about to reply when there was a knock at the door. "Come in."

Hoseok poked his head through the small recording studio door. "Hey Yoongles."

Yoongi glared. "WhAT? Since when?"

Hoseok laughed. "You get to call me Hobi, I get to call you Yoongles."

Yoongi glared. "Why are you here?"

Hoseok laughed and grabbed a chair, scooting up next to Yoongi. A little too close for Yoongi's comfort, but it was a small room, what could be done.

"I'm wondering what we should say about getting drinks this weekend with Jimin and Taehyung and all the others."

Yoongi squinted, confused. He turned back to his computer and kept working while Hobi waited patiently for his answer.

"What do you mean 'we'?"

Hoseok cocked his head and smiled cheekily. "We are a 'we' right?"

Yoongi blushed and coughed, annoyed. "Sorry?"

Hobi laughed and ruffled Yoongi's hair, making him hiss in frustration as he shoved Hoseok away.

"I mean, I thought I'd ask you if you're going and yes, when you're talking about you and your friend, you usually say 'we' not 'I'. Unless..." Hobi scooted closer and rested his elbows on the arm of Yoongi's chair, "You think we're so unbelievably connected that we are just... one." He held up his pointer finger dramatically and waved it in Yoongi's face.

Yoongi snarled and slapped his hand away.

"Are you leaving yet?"

Hoseok shook his head seriously. "No. I'm waiting for my friend to tell me whether he's coming to get drinks with me this weekend."

Yoongi sighed. "Sure. Yeah, I'll come. Just leave already please."

Hobi smiled brilliantly and petted Yoongi's hair. "Okay, heading out cap'n, see you later!"

Yoongi turned to wave Hoseok away, and as Hoseok left he blew Yoongi a kiss, "Work hard my Yoongles."

Yoongi let out an angry sigh once Hobi was gone, clutching his chest stupidly.

It was not acceptable how much his heart was fluttering around. He hated it. He wanted to rip it out and throw it away. Goddamn useless thing.

It was fine. It was just leftover, he gagged a little in his head, feelings. He would get over it quickly and Hoseok would find another dance studio and Yoongi could move on. He would move on just fine.

As he tried to get back to work his phone buzzed one more time. Tentatively, he flipped it over to see the latest message.

Hoseok

Me and Yoongles will see you there:) 

Shit.
