well to be honest with u i wasnt a fan of the second lilo & stitch i felt it was kind of unnecessary
but leroy & stitch was pretty enjoyable i wouldnt mind watching that again
tho nothing can beat the first one its one of a kind
the story and the characters and everything
hard to find something not to like about it
ah
well except captain gantu
i didnt much like him
but then again he was one of the main antagonists so

Taetae:

Chocochip_kookie:

Taetae:

Handsome_face:
guys not to interrupt ur riveting conversation or nything but I just threw twelve bath bombs in my water at once is it safe to get in

Blue_ribbon_mochi:
no idea
the question is y did u use so many bath bombs at once

Handsome_face:
well u c 
the thing is
i got them as a gift a while ago 
and like i told the person who gave them 2 me that i used em all
when in reality I had used none of them 
and i woulda felt bad so i decided to do the "all in one go" thing 
the water looks like a unicorn died in it

Chocochip_kookie:
ok but y didn't u just use the bath bombs over the span of twelve baths

Handsome_face:
obvs I didn't think of that then
ty sherlock

Chocochip_kookie:
ur welcome

Handsome_face:
anyway back 2 my predicament 
is it safe
or will it likely ruin my skin
i never paid attention in chemistry in high school so tf if I know what bath bombs r made of

Blue_ribbon_mochi:
i think it's sodium chloride

YourHobi:
im pretty sure that's table salt jimin

Taetae:
I thought that was sodium peroxide

YourHobi:
no sodium peroxide is smth totally different

Handsome_face:
ok does ne1 actually kno tho

NamJune:
Common bath bomb fragrance ingredients are synthetic and can cause hormone disruption and increase your risk of diseases like type 2 diabetes, breast cancer and infertility, among other ailments. Popular bath fizzy ingredients are linked to ailments like asthma, eczema, ADHD, cancer, and other diseases.

Handsome_face:

And so the lunch date was set - well, set after Hoseok made sure that Namjoon would be working on that particular day, because if he weren't, then going to the cafe would be a total waste. For him, that is. Not Seokjin. Seokjin was happy enough getting treated to a meal; however he couldn't deny a small part of him might have been looking forward to seeing Namjoon in person. Just a small part. Just a little. But he wouldn't admit that. Not to himself, nor to Hoseok, seeing as Seokjin possessed this peculiar pride that resulted in him (attempting to) camouflage any and all traces of non-perfectness.

Well, that might not have been entirely true. But he liked to think it was.

The cafe, according to Hosoek, was simply called "Hyunseong's Cafe", and from the outside Seokjin couldn't deny it looked awfully cute and charming. The large window to the right of the door granted a clear view of the seating areas inside—quaint, pastel red booths and several small tables scattered here and there, a three-step staircase leading to a second seating area, shelves against a brick wall whereon sat numerous potted plants which Seokjin found oddly adorable. The second the two of them entered the cafe, they were immediately greeted by the sweet aroma of cooking meats and various dishes that drifted temptingly from the kitchen. Seokjin's stomach growled furiously at him. 

"Dude."

"What? I didn't eat breakfast, okay?"

Hoseok tilted his head back, squinting in genuine confusion at his friend. "You? Not eating breakfast?"

"I ran out of ingredients at my dorm. Haven't gone shopping yet."

"Huh." He gave a brief nod of understanding, then proceeded to hum a tune as he scanned the cafe in search of something - or someone, rather. And he found who he had been looking for in a matter of seconds, as this person happened to be walking in their direction with the sole intention of seating the restaurant's new customers. The man must not have recognized them at first glance, Hoseok gathered. Meanwhile Seokjin's attention had been diverted by the screen of another customer's phone, which at the current moment was displaying an episode of his favorite show, so he failed to notice the familiar-faced waiter walking towards him.

"Welcome to Hyunseong's Cafe, I'm-..."

Only once he was standing a mere two feet away did Namjoon finally put two and two together. He paused before his last word, tilted his head to one side, adjusted his thin-framed glasses, and cracked the subtlest of smiles as he gazed at the ever-growing one on Hoseok's face.

"You're..." A quiet breath that sounded something like a laugh escaped Namjoon's mouth. "One of the guys from the chat. Hoseok, right?"

The redhead beamed. "Or Hobi, if you'd prefer."

"And this is..."

It wasn't that he forgot. He simply wanted to wait till he could get a clearer view so that he could be assured he wasn't mistaking the man for someone else. Hoseok tapped his friend on the shoulder several times, then several more times, and even then Seokjin's eyes still lingered on the phone screen as he turned his head around to face forward.

"...Seokjin."

Having been 110% invested in the contents of that TV show rather than the outside world, it came as a genuine shock to Jin to find this man standing so close, and with a look of remembrance upon his face - his awfully handsome face that appeared much tanner in person than it did in that selca, and the eyes that appeared brighter as a result of being pleasantly surprised by the two's unannounced visit.

"Oh, uh, hello."

"Hello." Namjoon chuckled. "元気ですか？" [Are you well?]

"はい. 元気です." [Yes. I'm doing well.]

"ま, よかた." [Well, I'm glad.]

"Oh, don't start this again," Hoseok groaned audibly, but at the same time he couldn't repress the amused laugh that crawled its way out of his throat. Namjoon shot him an apologetic glance.

"Right, my bad," he spoke softly, then extended an arm in the direction of the seating area. "You're free to sit where you'd like. Unless you want me to escort y-"

"Yes, escort us," Seokjin blurted with the sole intention to amuse himself, but against his will the slightest hint of red touched the tips of his ears at the smile his comment earned him. Pursing his lips and putting on a smile of his own, Jin followed his escort to a nearby table, his redheaded friend walking shortly behind with a toothy grin. The moment the two were seated - Namjoon had so kindly pulled out the chairs for both of them - Seokjin took notice of his friend's cheeky expression, and as politely as possible he told their waiter they would need more time before ordering. So Namjoon left them with their menus.

Not two seconds passed. Hoseok cleared his throat conspicuously. In response, Seokjin leaned across the table to press a finger to his friend's lips to shut him up.

"Don't talk. Let me first." He pulled his hand away. "I have to reevaluate everything. One thing in particular."

"If you say your sexuality I'm gonna kill you, Jin. I've known you swung for the other team since-"

"I said don't talk. I gotta tell you something."

Curious, Hoseok paused, quirking an eyebrow at his friend whose eyes had followed Namjoon to a different part of the cafe.

"He's really hot - no, not just hot." Jin squinted. "Charming, too. That's a dangerous combination. I can handle looks, but the smile's too much. Also, his Japanese pronunciation is sexy. No, stop that. What am I saying? My pronunciation is sexy."

"Jinnie, stop." Hoseok couldn't hold his laughter this time. "That last part you can drop. Your panic filter is on again."

"Panic filter?" Furrowing his brow, Seokjin cocked his head to one side,   pouting and crossing his arms in protest of his friend's remark. "I don't have a panic filter." His eyes stole another glance at Namjoon. "Oh, the glasses, too..."

Not long after this was so breathlessly uttered under Seokjin's breath, who should return to their table but the charming waiter himself, notepad and ballpoint pen in hand as though fully expecting the two college boys to be ready with their orders. But alas, Jin's vocalized train of thought had occupied the spans of time that could have been used skimming the menus.

"Are you two ready, then?"

"Uh, yeah, of course."

"もちろん [of course]," Namjoon repeated. Seokjin looked up from the menu he had so hastily grabbed just in time to see the waiter smirk, but it was a cute smirk, which only made Jin flustered.

"Uh, H-Hobi, you order first."

Struggling to bite back his grin, Hoseok scanned the choices quickly and picked out the first thing that sounded appetizing to him at the moment. "Uhhhh, I'll have the spicy pork, aaaand dumplings, and milk tea."

Namjoon repeated the order back quietly as he jotted it down, then turned to face Jin. "And you?"

"Teriyaki chicken, white rice, and an espresso, please."

"Jin, you don't like espresso."

"Oh, that's right." He cleared his throat and searched the drink options again. "Uh, then I'll just have water."

"Teriyaki chicken, white rice, and water, got it." Placing the pen in the spirals of his notepad, Namjoon assured the two boys he would be back with their orders as soon as possible. And he left. Hoseok and Seokjin watched in silence until he had disappeared from their sight completely. All the while, Hoseok was slowly, subtly leaning across the table so that he could whisper in his friend's ear.

"That was flirting if I've ever seen it."

Seokjin didn't hesitate to push the  boy away from his face. "Stop, it wasn't flirting," he insisted, though even Hoseok could tell that Jin wasn't entirely convinced by his own words. "He's just really friendly, I'm sure."

"Right," Hoseok deadpanned, "I'm sure." Still smiling, he said in a quieter voice, "So tell me, what were you two saying to each other?"

"What?"

"Be my translator."

"We were just greeting each other," Jin explained. "He said 'how are you', I said 'I'm good', then he said 'well, I'm glad'."

"Okay, well, what about after that? Don't think I didn't catch you blushing, Jinnie."

"He literally just repeated what I said, but in Japanese. 'Mochiron' means 'of course'."

"Right, sure it does. I'll bet it means, like, 'you're cute, date me' or something."

"Right. Whatever makes you happy, Hobi..."

As the two patiently waited for their food to arrive, Hoseok and Seokjin made light conversation, briefly discussing college matters and how classes and studies were going, and Seokjin happened to make mention of fellow music major Min Yoongi, who often attracted the attention of girls in their class. As it turned out, many people quite liked his dark and mysterious aura and were intrigued by it, but now that Jin was at least somewhat acquainted with Yoongi thanks to the group chat, he had a funny feeling that the boy wasn't the least bit dark or mysterious. 

"We could always ask Namjoon about him," Hoseok suggested. Jin shook his head. 

"No, the group chat has been revealing a lot so far." As he said this, Seokjin pulled out his phone and opened the chat. Hoseok did so as well. 

"I wonder if Jiminie's working today."

"Let's just ask him."

"Well, if he's working, wouldn't he not respond?"

"Do you know Jimin?"

"...yeah, you right."

Blue_ribbon_mochi:
lmao u guys

Both putting their phones aside, Hoseok and Seokjin lifted their eyes to watch as Namjoon set down each item on the tray he was carrying according to who had ordered what. Except there was one extra item on the tray, a large plate of bulgogi (Korean meat dish), which neither Hoseok nor Seokjin had ordered. Before either of them could ask, however, Namjoon spoke up. 

"I'm actually on break starting now. Do you guys mind if I join you?"

"Absolutely. Jin would love that."

"Excuse me?"

"So you don't want him to?"

"Wait, no, that's not what I mean, I-..." Feeling he had lost to his friend once again, Jin heaved a sigh of defeat and pulled out another chair. "Just sit down, Namjoon."

He smiled. "ありがと, ソクジン." [Thanks, Seokjin.]

"どういたしまして." [You're welcome.]

"You guys are already driving me crazy with this."

Chapter Text

[Jimin and Taehyung private chat]

Taetae:
im stopping by 2day
just got outta class five minutes ago im gonna head over to the studio now
just a heads up

He didn't receive a reply, even after waiting a few seconds - that was how long it typically took for his friend to reply to his text messages - so he figured Jimin was too busy practicing to pick up his phone. Which was fine. Jimin could be diligent when he wanted to be, and Taehyung knew that, so he said and thought no more on the manner and simply made his way over to the building where he could find the dance studio. He had passed by it once or twice, though never when an entire class was inside practicing, but he at least knew where it was so that he didn't have to ask for directions. Nevertheless, Taehyung found himself poking along as though uncertain as to where he was going. In reality, however, he was only stalling.

Why was he so nervous to meet Jungkook? The two were friends by now, right? It was just as Jimin said, there was no reason for him to be shy. Not a single one. Taehyung should have been able to stride confidently up to the windows of that dance studio and watch with a casual demeanor as his friends carried out their dance lessons and practices - other people did it. From a distance, Tae could spot a small handful of college students hovering around the studio, gazing intently through transparent glass at the people inside. Mostly girls, but there were several guys who appeared quite intrigued or perhaps impressed by what was going on in the room.

Luckily it wasn't such a large crowd that Taehyung couldn't get a good view. In fact, as he happened to take a step closer to the studio, five people made once glance inside the room, turned to each other, then began giggling and chattering as they went on their way. There was an easy opening now. One large window, no one standing beside it. Taehyung drew a deep breath.

Confident gay, confident gay, confident gay.

He strode up to the window and stopped in front of it. Then, as slowly and subtly as possible and with tentative eyes, Tae peered into the dance studio and - subconsciously, of course - searched for a familiar boy with dark brown hair and naturally attractive facial features. There was a decent sized class inside so it wasn't an easy task at first. Fortunately, however, Hoseok's bright red hair was quite easy to pick out even in a crowd, and who should be standing right beside Hoseok but the boy Taehyung was looking for.

"Oh, I was right...he does look hot..."

Such sharp and natural movements, from the rotation of his body to the slightest curve of his hands - there was sweat on his face, matted fringe sticking to his forehead. Tae struggled to resist the urge to bite his lip as Jungkook combed a hand through that hair, peeling it off the forehead and causing it to stick up slightly at the top but not enough so that it got in the way. He just looked...so concentrated. And it was insanely attractive. Enough to distract Tae to the point that he didn't realize when the class had ended. Or when Jimin had caught sight of him, and winked at him. Eyes fixed solely on Jungkook's every move, it only struck him that it was time to get a hold of himself when Jungkook's gaze accidentally found its way to his own through the windows on the side of the room opposite to where he stood. Before Taehyung was able to turn away to hide his face, though, it was too late. Jungkook had recognized him quickly. He tapped Jimin's shoulder and pointed towards the window, and Jimin just smiled and Taehyung could see the boy mouth the words 'I know'.

Next thing he knew both boys were walking across the studio floor, towards him, and he had approximately five and a half seconds to brace himself to lower and hopefully fully prevent the risk of blubbering like an absolute fool in front of the most visually pleasing human being he had ever seen.

Confident gay, confident gay, confident g-

"Hey, Taehyung."

"H-hey."

Screwed it up.

There was the slightest smile on Jungkook's face, suggesting that he hadn't expected this meeting, but wasn't displeased by it, either. And Tae couldn't help but stare at that smile, too. Small, but adorable.

"You okay, Taehyung?"

"W-...u-uh, yeah. Yeah, I'm good."

Noticing the blush having crept up onto his cheeks, Taehyung covered his mouth with his hand and cleared his throat, and while his embarrassment was so obvious to Jimin, Jungkook was oblivious.

"Sorry, Tae, I didn't get your message," the black-haired boy apologized, unable to stop smiling. My friend is too cute like this. "I was in the middle of a lesson."

"It's fine, I figured you'd be," Tae assured him. "I didn't get here that long ago." He paused. "Well, at least I don't think I did. I think I lost track of time. That's embarrassing."

"Your voice is deeper than I expected it to be."

He looked over to Jungkook again. The boy's lips were now slightly pursed and bent inward, eyebrows thrown up, just a tad, but clearly in an expression of genuine surprise. Taehyung forced a nervous laugh.

"Is it now?"

"Yeah."

"D'you expect him to have a voice like mine?" Jimin joined, stifling a laugh of his own. Jungkook nudged him.

"Never said that. It just doesn't match his face, that's all. Not that that's a bad thing, of course. I'm just making observations. And again..." He stopped for a moment, and Tae could feel his cheeks reddening again as Jungkook eyed him from head to toe, then smiled. "Your wardrobe is incredible. I should really ask to borrow your stuff some time." After uttering this, a soft chuckle spilled out of Jungkook's mouth, signifying he was at least somewhat joking in regards to the statement, but Taehyung took him seriously and just nearly replied, "oh, you're welcome to anytime." Scarcely, though, he did manage to keep his words to himself.

"Oh, by the way," Jungkook added just as Tae had begun to slip into another daze - and it was so difficult for Jimin to refrain from grinning because wow, Tae was so incredibly smitten already - "just thought I'd ask since you made the comment before, how did I look back there, huh? Cool, at all?"

"You looked so sexy."

It slipped out. He failed in his mission, his simple mission of staying focused on not voicing his thoughts, and alas, these three words escaped and triggered a deep shade of red to surface in Jungkook's cheeks, and once again, in Tae's. Both pairs of eyes widened, Taehyung's jaw dropping the second he registered what he'd said. He slapped both hands over his mouth.

"Uh, t-thanks." Jungkook blinked several times, scratching his cheek as he glanced away, evidently feeling overwhelmed by a sudden shyness that took form as a result of Taehyung's comment, along with the tone of voice that comment had been spoken in - low, and sounding as though the boy had been deep in thought. He took it as nothing more than a compliment - albeit a strong one - but nevertheless it caught him by surprise and he couldn't camouflage that fact even if he wanted to.

"That's all you got, Jungkook? 'Thanks'?"

Out of his peripheral vision he could see Jimin looking at him, smirk on his full lips. It wasn't malicious, though, because Jimin just wasn't that type of person, and in a matter of seconds the shorter boy started to laugh at the whole situation, slapping a hand on Taehyung's shoulder to seize his attention.

"What about me, huh, Taetae?" He beamed. "Was I sexy, too?"

Tae dropped his hands to his sides, relieved knowing that his friend was doing this to lessen the spotlight on him. "So sexy."

Pleased with the response, Jimin didn't bother to repress his giggles as he threw an arm around his friends' shoulders - one around Tae, the other around Jungkook. He glanced at both of them, expression still bright as ever, and let out a deep breath, opening his mouth to speak but being abruptly cut off by a certain redhead who entered the scene without warning.

"Tae!"

With a loud voice and open arms Hoseok stole Taehyung from Jimin and captured the boy in a tight hug. Incredibly affectionate in person, as always, Jimin and Tae both thought, while Jungkook simply stood back and wondered if he were meant to stay out of the conversation.

"You didn't tell us you were stopping by!"

"I told Jimin."

"Well, Jimin didn't tell me." The redhead narrowed his eyes accusingly at his friend, then broke out into a big smile as Jimin did the same. "Well, no matter. You look amazing today, by the way."

"And you look sweaty."

"Yeah," Hoseok sighed. He tugged at the low collar of his loose white shirt, thus revealing even more of his collarbone than was already showing. "It's one of the downsides, but not enough to put a damper on the fun, ya know?"

"Nothing could put a damper on your fun, Hobi," Jimin added. Hoseok turned to him with hands on his hips.

"Not true," he huffed. "There's this one guy in our class - I don't know his name, he's really tall, not Junhong, he's not as tall as Junhong, I mean the other one-"

"Yugyeom?"

The redhead clapped his hands once and pointed at Jungkook. "Yes! That's the one. He annoys me..."

Now this surprised all three of the boy's listeners. "He annoys you?" Taehyung asked. Jimin gazed at him with equally questioning eyes.

"The only person you've ever claimed to annoy you is Jin," he pointed out, "and that was just jokingly."

"Why does Yugyeom annoy you?"

"Like I said, he's really tall, for starters, which intimidates me," Hoseok began, immediately making both Jimin and Tae have to hold back a laugh, and even Jungkook cracked a smile, "and I'm not even short! He's gotta be at least 6'0", or something, if not taller. It's crazy, what does his mother feed him?"

"What else annoys you about him?"

"Well, he's cute." Hoseok placed a thoughtful hand on his chin. "Being tall and cute is an annoying combination. Oh! And he's an incredibly good dancer. And if I'm not imagining things he keeps looking over at me during class, probably judging me or something, I'll bet..."

Jimin's face went blank for a second, and he leaned partially to the side to peer into the dance studio to look for a tall boy. Surely enough, his eyes caught sight of someone with orange hair looking in Hoseok's general direction, though as soon as he was caught, he hastily turned himself around and went to join someone who Jimin could only assume was the boy's friend.

"Judging you, huh?" He repeated in disbelief. "Somehow I don't think that's it."

"Yeah, Yugyeom's a nice guy."

The three others faced Jungkook as soon as he had spoken this, both surprised he had responded at all, and also curious as to what he would say next.

"You know him?"

"He's, uh..." The boy paused to get his thoughts together. "He's...a friend of...Moonbin's. And of mine, to some extent. We haven't talked much since high school but he's really easy to get along with. I don't think he's judging you, Hoseok," he said reassuringly, glancing at the redhead. "He wouldn't without a good reason. And if you don't know each other well, then he doesn't have a reason at all."

"Huh." He wasn't 100% convinced, but, taking Jungkook's words into consideration, Hoseok decided he would let the subject go for now. He smiled again. "I suppose so. Well, this has been great and all, but I gotta blast. So I'll talk to you guys later. Bye!"

"Bye, Hobi!"

"Bye, Hoseok."

And just like that, he was gone. Sped off with high energy as though his exhaustion from dancing had dissipated almost instantaneously. And while both Jimin and Jungkook watched the redhead until he had disappeared from their view, Taehyung was just a tad distracted by Jungkook's mentioning of a certain name.

Moonbin.

He glanced into the studio where a scatter of college students were still standing about, some talking amongst themselves, others briefly reviewing what they had just learned in class that day. He scanned the faces, regardless of knowing he had no idea who Moonbin was or what he looked like. It was simply a subconscious action triggered by the hint of sadness and hesitation in Jungkook's voice as he had spoken that name. Truly, all Taehyung knew about him was that he was the boy who Jungkook had loved. Or perhaps still loved.

Don't worry, Jungkook. It'll be okay. I'll just have to make you fall in love with me instead.

[Jimin and Taehyung private chat]

Blue_ribbon_mochi:
Kim. Tae. Hyung.

Taetae:
I wasn't snooping around Instagram looking for it if that's what ur about to ask
well actually I just randomly decided to see if I could hunt down everyone's whose in the group chat 
and Yoongi's was the first 
and I found it 
honestly proud of myself
even tho it was surprisingly easy lol cuz as u can see from the screenshot i sent his username is his name 
min_yoon.gi
quick go follow him b4 he finds out I've discovered him and changes his account to private !!

Blue_ribbon_mochi:
gOOD IDEA

Taetae:
just remember jiminie if u gonna scroll thru his pics make sure not to accidentally like one from twenty two weeks ago 
I did that lmao 
it was instinctive 
he was wearing gucci slides and my thumb sLAMMED the heart button b4 I could stop it
also I kid u not jiminie 
I think yoongi models in his time off or smth 
like honestly 
and I'm not just saying that cuz he's gorgeous 
there's some pics of him wearing expensive looking clothing 
like the gucci slides for example 
and I mean Namjoon already told us yoongi doesn't keep most of the gifts his aunt gives him so it would make sense if he was just modeling them
and idk they give off the professional vibe???
well you'll know what I'm talking about when u see

Chapter Text

In the blink of an eye he was there. Standing in front of the door to Yoongi's dorm, carefully holding with both hands the food he had spent the past hour preparing, checking behind himself to make sure the plastic-wrapped basket of assorted items hadn't moved from its spot on the ground. He tried to calm his restlessly beating heart but to no avail. Despite Taehyung's encouraging words, Jimin still found himself worrying about all the same things, if Yoongi wouldn't like the food he made, if Yoongi was still suffering and wasn't in the mood to see him right now, if Yoongi wouldn't want to see him at all.

"No, c'mon, Jimin," he whispered to himself, slipping one hand out from under the containers he carried so that he could slap himself. "Give him more credit than that. Don't be a coward. Just knock on the door."

So he did. Drawing in a deep breath to hold, Jimin used his now freed hand to knock three times, firmly, but not too loudly, on the door, then pulled that same hand back to anxiously clutch his sleeve. And he waited. He waited, tapping his foot and biting his lip, hoping with every inch of his being that Yoongi's condition and mood wouldn't be nearly as bad as he was anticipating.

He heard movement from inside the room. Slow, perhaps labored walking that accompanied a heaving sigh.

"Joon, I told you you didn't need to b-"

An instantaneous break was made in this sentence as a door was opened abruptly. And the man who had opened it dragged slow, lazy eyes from the ground all the way up to the eyes of the one who knocked. Neither spoke. For what felt to both like a solid hour, there was nothing but wide-eyed, open-mouthed staring.

"J-...Jimin."

Dressed in a plain white t-shirt and black jeans, unkempt black hair sticking up in random places, Yoongi was leaning partially against the door, one shoulder bent back as though to conceal his messily bandaged right arm. Jimin knew about the boy's injury already, of course, and he could tell that Yoongi was trying to hide it from him, which confirmed he had not yet viewed Namjoon's messages in the group chat - well, that along with Yoongi's obvious shock at the sight of Jimin standing in front of him.

"What are you...uh, doing...here?"

He fumbled over his words just a tad, and though Jimin honestly did try, he failed to conceal the smile which tugged forcefully at his lips. Oh, he's even cuter in person. Of course he is. Why am I not surprised?

"I brought..." The younger glanced at the containers of food in his hands. "...stuff. If you're hungry."

"Uh-"

"Oh! Right, sorry. Your question. Namjoon told us about what happened."

Without but the slightest of delays, Yoongi allowed a deep, prolonged sigh of defeat to escape his mouth. "Of course he did," he mumbled, then took a long, sympathetic look at the food Jimin had brought him. "Don't tell me he made you do this."

Jimin hesitated. "He didn't make me, but he did give the idea. Well, I mean I already said I'd cook for you before, but you...told me not to. But Namjoon said he wanted you to eat something good today, and so I figured I'd take the chance and make something anyway. You're not mad, are you? And sorry, I didn't know what you liked to eat so I just made pork and rice, and I didn't give the heads up that I was stopping by so I hope I'm not interrupting anything? Oh! I also brought a gift basket. It's right there, behind me. Can't pick it up right now, don't wanna risk dropping what I'm already holding. Ah, it's not just from me, by the way. Tae helped pick it out and pay for it. He would probably be here, too, but unfortunately he had a class to get to. Sorry, I just realized I'm rambling a lot. Is it alright if I come inside?"

Once again, speechless. Jimin rendered him utterly speechless. So instead of admitting his polite request with words, Yoongi simply leaned his back against the door and gestured for Jimin to enter the dorm. It took a moment for him to get his thoughts back in order. He shook his head and squeezed his eyes shut, then opened them again to find the large gift basket Jimin had brought up in his rambling - it had to have been almost two feet tall. It was too much. This was all too much.

"Ah, I'll grab that, don't worry."

It disappeared in a split second.

"Yoongi, won't you come inside?"

What is going on. "Uh...y-yeah...just a sec."

With sloth-like movements Yoongi quietly shut the door, turned around, and immediately found himself staring at the bright expression of a boy he still couldn't process was even here right now. But then again the feeling was mutual. Jimin couldn't quite process it, either, but fortunately for him, his nervousness about the situation had fallen in line behind his concern for Yoongi's well-being, and his worrying eyes fixed on the boy's bandaged arm.

"The burn..." His cheeriness faded as a sorrowful tone settled. "Namjoon said it was bad..."

"He was probably exaggerating-"

"Was he, though? Or are you just saying that so I don't worry? Because if that's the case then it's too late, Yoongi, I'm already worried."

Yoongi felt a slight twinge in his chest, something warm and subtle that he tried to shake off but couldn't quite do successfully. He swallowed the lump that had surfaced in his throat. And he tried - he tried - not to wince at the sharp surge of pain coming from his burn, but in reality it hadn't been long since he acquired it - four hours at most - so the pain was just as fresh as the injury. It was an awful stinging sensation, and he sucked air through his clenched teeth as an instantaneous reaction to it. And Jimin's instantaneous reaction was to drop the gift basket he had not yet set down and rush over to Yoongi, regardless of not knowing what he would do once he got there. He couldn't see the burn itself. Just the bandages, which appeared to have been wrapped hastily in seconds rather than with care as they should have been.

"You need to redo this."

"I'm sorry?"

"The bandages. They need to be redone. Here, I'll help you."

Before Yoongi could even think to resist, Jimin had taken hold of his wrist - the one belonging to his uninjured arm, naturally - and began to lead him over to one of the two beds on the other side of the room. And he noticed Yoongi's limp. Just a slight one, but it was conspicuous enough that Jimin didn't have to ask to know something was wrong. But after Yoongi had sat down on the bed he asked anyway.

"Your foot."

"It's fine."

Jimin pouted. He wanted to be mad, but he couldn't bring himself to be, so pouting and looking sad was all he could do. And it did things to Yoongi's heart.

"Sprained it," he confessed, turning his head to the side so he wouldn't have to look into Jimin's eyes.

"How?? Namjoon didn't tell us about that!"

Why does he sound so frantic? This is killing me. "That's 'cause Namjoon doesn't know. I didn't tell him."

Jimin was frowning even more intensely now, pushing out his bottom lip as he kept his gaze fixed on Yoongi. And Yoongi made the mistake of glancing at the boy's face, thus triggering an inexplicable avalanche of guilt to overtake him and make him feel compelled to confess once again.

"It happened after I burned myself," he said softly, sighing. "I spilled boiling water all over my arm, and my immediate reaction was to throw myself backward. And I tripped - over something, I don't know what it was. And voila, a sprain." He looked down at his foot, then shook it a little before releasing another quiet breath. "It really isn't that serious, though. That's why I didn't bother telling Namjoon. Well, that, and I didn't want him to feel like he had to babysit me even more. I knew he was busy."

"Yoongi, I kind of hate you right now."

"What?"

"No, sorry, I just blurted that out." Jimin groaned and slapped his forehead, which startled Yoongi. "I didn't mean to say that. I'm sorry. I don't hate you, I li--just can't believe you sometimes."

"Meaning?"

"N-never mind. I said I was going to help you with this. You have a roll of bandages, right? It's better if we change them instead of just re-wrapping the burn. I heard it's recommended the bandages get changed every so often, anyway. Oh! And is medicine supposed to be applied at certain intervals, too? I'm just guessing here, I have literally no idea. Help me out, Yoongi, why are you just staring at me?"

It had been an unconscious act. The second accidental eye contact was made, it stuck persistently, and he couldn't look away this time, even if he wanted to. Jimin was captivatingly beautiful up close, and his sweet voice and his uncontrollable rambling was adorable to an almost frustrating degree. Jimin being here at all wasn't something Yoongi had prepared for. And this was all too much.

"Yoongi?"

"Hm?" The second mention of his name snapped him out of his daze. "Oh, uh, bandages." He directed Jimin's attention to the counter in his dorm's tiny kitchen. "I think I left them over there. The medicine, too."

Jimin made no hesitation to spring to his feet and hurry over to retrieve the items, despite Yoongi insisting there was no need for him to rush.

"This bottle says 'antibiotic ointment'...is that the one?"

"Pretty sure that's the only one over there."

"Right. Of course. Sorry, wasn't thinking."

With that, Jimin snatched the bandages and ointment and reclaimed his seat on the bed next to Yoongi. Then he set both down carefully on the small wooden table located between the two beds and began to slowly unwrap the bandages around Yoongi's arm. Very slowly. He wanted to change them as quick as possible, but more than that, he wanted to avoid hurting Yoongi in any way, such as touching the burned area with his own hand by mistake.

Once the bandages had finally been removed, the burn now wholly revealed, Jimin felt his stomach turn over once, maybe twice, and his chest tightened. An uncomfortably large portion of Yoongi's forearm was covered in a dark red patch. Several blisters were scattered over the area and the veins appeared darker and thus more visible. It saddened Jimin. Tore at his heart a little, even. To think of the pain Yoongi must have been in, and probably was still in, and the realization that if Namjoon hadn't known about the incident, no one would have, because it was likely Yoongi wouldn't have told them unless he had to.

"If it's too disturbing to look at, you don't have to-"

"That's not it."

"....Jimin, you look like you're about to cry."

He didn't say anything. He simply blinked away the mist threatening to surface behind his eyelids and continued on with the task he had promised himself to go through with.

"A thin layer of the ointment should be fine," Yoongi said in a quiet voice. "Are you okay with touching the skin? It looks weird, I know, and it'll probably feel weird to you, too, so if you don't want to-...okay, never mind."

Jimin had already started to apply the ointment, softly rubbing it over the burned area. Yoongi could see that his hands were shaking.

"You're doing fine, Jimin. Just avoid the blisters. Doctor said if they get broken they can get infected."

Jimin was mindful of Yoongi's words, extra careful not to even touch the bubbles on the boy's skin, but cover only the spots surrounding them. Once he was finished, he grabbed the bandages and started to wrap them around Yoongi's forearm - once again, slow and with painstaking care. His hands were still shaking. His face was still pale, lips quivering in a subtle manner but not subtly enough that Yoongi couldn't see it.

He finished wrapping the burn in the next couple of minutes. His movements even now were gradual, seemingly in slow motion as he shifted his position to place the bandage roll back on the small table. When he turned himself around to face Yoongi again, he lifted his own arms and placed them oh-so-gently around the other's neck, then pulled him closer into a hug. A warm embrace that Yoongi probably would have rejected if it were most anyone else. But Jimin was different. Why was he different?

Tentatively, he lifted his left hand to rest against Jimin's back. Jimin rested his chin on Yoongi's shoulder.

"You just might be the most absurdly kindhearted person I've ever met."

"I'm sorry."

"Why on earth are you apologizing for that?"

"Don't know. Where's your roommate, by the way?" He tightened the hug just a tad, which only made Yoongi's chest feel warmer.

"Out."

"I can stay till he gets back."

"You'll be staying here for a while, then. He's got a boyfriend and when he's not attending classes or at work, he's with him. Sometimes doesn't even come back at night. But hey, that's none of my business."

Jimin's cheeks reddened at the utterance of that first sentence. It didn't help that Yoongi's voice was so low, and currently, right beside Jimin's ear.

"H-...how about until dinner, then?"

"Dinner? Don't you have places to be?"

"No..."

"You're just saying that, aren't you?"

"I'm not. I swear I'm not."

"Then fine."

"It's fine?"

Yoongi moved his hand up to place against the back of Jimin's head.

"Of course it's fine."

he obviously cares about u yoongs u can't even deny that 
and what if, what if, just consider this my friend, what if he enjoys your company even a fraction of the amount u enjoy his?

Yoongi:
that would be a lot

NamJune:
wow u really are whipped

Yoongi:
stop

NamJune:
but fr yoongs I honestly think he wouldn't mind at all
he'd probably be more comfortable if u did, rather than knowing ur still hurt and could possibly use some assistance but are too proud to ask for help

Yoongi:
and why can't u just come over instead

NamJune:
wow would u look at my schedule I'm suddenly busy all the time

Yoongi:
wtf

Blue_ribbon_mochi:

Handsome_face:
yoongi wants u to be his sweet company again 2day

Yoongi has left mystery gang

NamJune has added Yoongi to mystery gang

NamJune:
boi we talked about this

Blue_ribbon_mochi:
Yoongi??
do u want me to come over? 
if u need help or could use some company I don't mind :)
I've actually been meaning to ask how ur doing 
is the burn getting better?

Yoongi:
uh
well
I mean it's only been a few days so I haven't really noticed any improvement
I heard it can take a couple weeks or more 
the pain is definitely still there
and it's itchy

Blue_ribbon_mochi:
DONT SCRATCH IT

Yoongi:
w
I know

Blue_ribbon_mochi:
sORRY
I did research on stuff and sources say it's not a good idea to? like it can damage the skin and open parts of the wound that have already started to heal

Yoongi:
u did research?

Blue_ribbon_mochi:
of course I did :0
in case u needed help again I wanted to make sure I knew what to do this time

Yoongi:
oh 
well ok then 
so
is it alright

Blue_ribbon_mochi:
:) more than alright 
so should I head over now?

Yoongi:
only if it's convenient

Blue_ribbon_mochi:
on my way ^_^

Handsome_face:
well aren't u two adorable

Blue_ribbon_mochi:
hush u Yoongi is in need
well I mean maybe not in need but he could use assistance

Yoongi:
no I'm in need

NamJune:
he means he wants u to hurry over Jimin

Yoongi:
shut it

Blue_ribbon_mochi:
IM HURRYING

YourHobi:
no joke he's bolting yoongi

Chocochip_kookie:
there he go
LMFAO HE JUST RAN INTO SOMEONE

YourHobi:
I'm crying

Yoongi:
he really didn't need to rush...

Taetae:
Jimin's healthcare service, guaranteed to arrive in under five minutes or order is free 

Chocochip_kookie:
with how fast he was running he'll probably get there in -5 minutes so get ready to pay up Yoongi

Taetae:
there's no way Jimin would accept money from Yoongi tho

Handsome_face:
but what about other forms of payment
like I don't know,,
perhaps 
a kiss on the cheek?

Yoongi:
how about u get the payment instead 
and instead of a kiss on the cheek how about a kick to the face

NamJune:
yoongs be nice

Yoongi:
fine
a kick to the gut

Handsome_face:
that's not any nicer

and being his adorable sweet self and smiling constantly and taking care of me and I just want to grab his little face and kiss his cute lips
I'm resisting but it's so difficult 
he's making me coffee rn and singing a song quietly to himself like what kind of dream husband scenario is this,, 

NamJune:

Yoongi: 
I'm not going to kiss him
but I want to 
this is killing me 
I don't wanna spring smth like that on him when he came over here to help me 
fvk he just looked at me and did this little eye smile 
kill me

NamJune:

Yoongi: 
I bet his lips taste like cotton candy

NamJune:

NamJune:

Yoongi:

NamJune:

Yoongi: 
some day 
when I figure out how confessing works and if it's mutual
I can't believe myself either rn 
ok I should put my phone away I think he's done making the coffee 
fvk he looked at me again 
I'm *this* close to audibly screaming

NamJune:
