Jin is 21 and in his 3rd and last year of college. He is always with Yoongi and Namjoon. He's popular for his handsome face.
I decided to trust Jimin and walked to who I thought was my childhood friend: Kim Seokjin. As I approached, his friends looked at me curiously, but he didn't notice me until I was right in front of him.
I didn't know what to say. I was panicking.
"Y-yeah, I'm... actually you, I said looking at Seokjin, you remind me of someone I used to know, and I was wondering... Is your name Kim Seokjin?"
My heart sank as soon as he finished talking. He didn't seem rude in his way of speaking, but it was obvious he didn't want to talk to me.
"Sure, you can always tell." He sighed as he and his friends seemed to get annoyed with my presence.
"Hoseok, Jung Hoseok."
"I don't know you, sorry, uh... Hoseok."
And just like that, I left, humiliated.
Sorry if this part sucks, I had to re-write it 😒
"Sorry my little diminie, I wasn't paying attention," I said, but I could see a pout form on his lips.
"I said I'm going back home tonight."
"Oh..It's dark already. Let me walk you home." He nodded and smiled cutely. I covered myself with a warm jacket and walked him home.
When Yoongi asked me to hang out at his place tonight I thought he would have the decency to let me stay over for the night or to at least walk me home. He didn't though as he told me he had to be with his family early in the morning.
Thankfully I remembered taking a shortcut with Namjoon and Yoongi once through an abandoned park.
"It's me, Jin," I answered without hesitation.
"Jin?" He asked again to make sure.
"Yes. Can I join you?"
"S-sure."
"I could ask you the same question."
"I was walking my friend home, and I just wanted to stay outside a bit more."
"I was going home and I heard your voice."
"I know." He said while looking at the starry night sky.
"I know." He said again.
"You do?"
"I wasn't sure if you recognised me, but I was sure it was you." He finally looked at me.
Namjoon, Yoongi and I had a one hour break before our next class so we decided to walk around a bit since one hour wouldn't be enough to even start doing the ton of homework we have to do.
(Btw I'm so sorry i always change applications for the text messages but I can't find a good one 😔)
As Jimin was going to come later, I thought I could take a walk. The sun was barely setting, I still had time. As I walked, I thought about everything. Who was this unknown person texting me? I texted back because I can feel some sort of despair in him.
"I, uh, just walked around?" he said, his voice seeming unsure. "Is it ok if I sit next to you?"
"N-not at all."
I realised years later after he left that what I felt towards him wasn't just friendship. But it was too late.
"Me too, I nodded while turning my head to look at him, I like to watch you more though."
"Jimin?"
"I'm in front of your door, where are you?"
"I told you to text me before coming... I'll be there soon."
"Alright, waiting!" he just said before hanging up.
"You have to go," he stated.
"I do."
"Sorry..." he murmured.
"Anything."
"Let's just meet here for now, ok? Just like when we were kids, let's not see each other outside of this place."
"I thought you were scared to walk back alone at night," I murmured sadly to no one as he was long gone.
It's been a week since Yoongi asked me about my past. I thought about it every day, and I knew that talking was the best decision if I didn't want to lose my friends. At first, I was going to avoid the subject and hope that we wouldn't talk about it again.
"I know. I wasn't going to do this, but I feel like I owe you the truth."
"I will..."
"You don't have to, he said with a reassuring smile, I think I know what happened already. But if you really want to talk about it, then I'm here."
"I'm going to tell what happened to my best friends too."
"Thank you, Jinnie! I was talking about you!" Hoseok said.
"About me?"
"What is said is said, at least now you know everything about me," I said.
"Hoseok... I know I did everything wrong since we met again but... Can we be friends again? Let's not meet in secret."
"You only remind me of the good parts. I think I realise that now. I need you in my life."
Namjoon and Yoongi had just left and I was now alone with Jin. We were still in the doorway, looking awkwardly at each other.
"Hoseok," Jin started, looking deep into my eyes, "can you stay?"
"Why wouldn't I like you?"
"You don't think I'm... I don't know... dirty? You don't hate me after I left you?"
"Don't be. It was better for you. But you can't imagine how much I cried. For months, years, I couldn't forget about you, Jin. I missed you every day.
"Oh, Hoseok..."
"Jin, I..."
"Yes, sure." I agreed.
Two days passed were Jimin didn't text me at all. I really wanted to talk to him, and I missed him, but I was also hurt. I kept thinking about it, but I still had no idea about what I did wrong.
"Who are you texting?" Jimin asked, to what I just responded by showing him my screen. "J? Isn't he the stranger? You still don't know who it is?"
"No, he said he doesn't want me to know yet," I sighed.
"You know who J is?"
"Let's say I do... Would you want me to tell you?"
"I do, Hoseok, do you want me to tell you or not?"
"Yes... tell me. You better not be joking though."
"Jin? Ah, I should have known you were joking."
"No, it's really him! He's J!"
"Well let's say I... happen to know one of his best friends and he asked me if I could give him your number for Jin."
I didn't know things would turn this way. I don't think I even realised I loved Hoseok before I said it. However I had no regret, at the second I said it I knew I meant it with my whole heart.
"Yeah..."
"About what you said earlier..." He said while I nodded anxiously. "Did you mean it? You can always take it back now."
"No, I don't!"
"Sooo... wanna date?" I asked no so casually due to my shaking voice.
"I guess I would like that."
