Best Friend

Kim Taehyung's POV

It's late night but I am here in Vante Cafe sipping some coffee. I don't even know why I am drinking coffee this late but I'm very stressed lately. There's a lot of things circling in my mind, not knowing what to do with these thoughts. There's a lot of stuff to do and there's...

"Park Jimin", I mumbled

I have been with Jimin for almost 20 years now. If I'll actually think about it, we've been together for so long.

But I can still remember the day I first saw him...

~

I was playing with my friends at the park outside our school. As a child, I was so busy playing and didn't mind other children but not until I heard someone shouting.

"Please stop! I'm not doing anything wrong with you!"

I saw someone being bullied by my three schoolmates. Of course I was so young I didn't even think that I'll be in trouble if I meddle with their business so I stood in front of the boy.

"Hey! I'll report you to our teacher if you don't stop now!", I strongly shouted at them

I think they were scared to be punished so they all went away

"Loner! Loner!" They shouted as they ran.

The boy was still tucking his knees without even looking up so I approached him.

"Hey, it's alright now, they're gone."

I touched his shoulders and he was slowly raising his head.

He was still crying so I touched his chubby face and wiped his tears away.

"Don't cry now, I'm here."

The boy thanked me and he was slowly calming.

"I-I am Park Jimin. Sorry i-if I disturbed you, I just wanna play so I c-came here."

He said those words and my heart ached for a moment. Disturbed me? He's being bullied so I am supposed to protect him or anyone in the same situation.

"It's fine it's fine, you didn't disturbed me at all. But why did they call you a loner? Don't you have any friends?"

After hearing my words, he looked down and said

"I have no one. My parents are already dead and I'm an orphan. No one tried to approach me because they think I'm unlucky."

What? How cruel!

"Well, I am your friend now Jimin."

His face lit up and showed his crescent smile that made my heart skip a beat.

I am now smiling at the thought that we've been together and our friendship is still here. But...

I am somehow

Sad...

Since we've been so close for a long time, I started to have a crush on him. I didn't know that I'll have such feelings for him but when I look at his innocent face and his smile, it just makes my heart flutter. And at some point, I knew that I fell in love with my bestfriend. I never told him because it might cause our friendship to break so I'm secretly loving him by his side.

And now, there's Jungkook. I never thought that he'd have a moment or even a conversation with Jungkook.

When they bumped at each other in our campus, I couldn't bear watching him so close to other man. And it made me angry when I saw how Jungkook and Jimin kissed on the last day of our foundation week. But I am more mad at myself for not doing anything about it.

I've known him for such a long time so I know what expressions he make. But... now that I think about it, there's a time when I saw him looking into thin air but not some normal look he used to make. It's an expression I've never imagined... a sad but terrifying look on his face that makes me shiver. And in that moment, I think there's something he's hiding. A terrible past perhaps?

I was so busy reminiscing that I didn't even notice how many times Jimin called and texted me. I finished drinking my coffee and went home.

Third Person's POV

A few months passed and Jimin, Taehyung and Jungkook's friends are close now. Jimin and Jungkook are very showy of their feelings towards one another while Taehyung is supporting Jimin even if his heart has been shattered. He wants to make Jimin happy so as long as he wants Jungkook, he'll support him.

Meanwhile, the Killer is still out there killing people and it makes Jungkook's friends and the man wearing a suit bothered. The man is still looking for the people who killed his boys and of course, the killer. He wants them dead. On the other hand, Jungkook is still beating people who mess with him.

Jungkook's POV

I am so nervous as I will tell Jimin how I feel and ask him to be my boyfriend. I've never felt anything like this but I really love Jimin, he made my gloomy life happy.

I texted Jimin to meet up with me at the park tonight. I am so nervous that I can't choose which clothes to wear.

"Yah Jungkook, it's fine. You'll just tell him you love him and then voila!", Hoseok has been cheering me for a while now.

"You'll be fine Jungkook, just tell him what you really feel and he'll understand you.", Namjoon

"I've never thought of this moment. Our JEON JUNGKOOK is getting nervous by a BOY, and he fell in love with him. But I'm congratulating you in advance for getting a boyfriend.", Yoongi

"Argh shut up Yoongi, I have to calm down now."

7 PM at the Park

I'm here for a while now and I keep pacing back and forth. What if he rejects me? What if he love someone else? What if-

"Jungkookie~"

I was mesmerized by his beauty once again. He's just wearing some simple clothes but it look elegant when he's wearing it.

"Um, Jiminie, I-I have something to tell you.", I said as my body started to shake more. I need to have a lot of courage to say words to him.. my body's shaking as well as my mind.

But I have to do this

"I love you Park Jimin.

Will you be my boyfriend?"
