I think he’s suffocating joon tbh
Hoebi:
It’s the power of love
Yo namjoon you good?
Nochu:

He likes it
(joonie-hyung is confirming that he likes it <3)
Sleepy boi:
Jungkook how did you get there so fast?
Nochu:

Cuz I’m his favorite
Taebi:

Joonie:

Nochu:

Dad joke:

Namjoons phone fell on his face lmao Jungkook over here acting all worried like namjoon doesn’t regularly drop things on himself lmao
Hoebi:
Not to be That Guy
But tf happened to jimin
Taebi:
Oh he’s talking to the ex hookup now
Turns out ex hook up had an apology or smth
Jimin looks like he wants to yeet himself out of that conversation
Sleepy boi:

Help your bro out :/
Jimin probably isn’t comfortable in that situation
I mean jimin why is he even apologizing anyway? Tf did he do?
Jimin?
Taebi:
Hang on hobi things are getting good
“please jimin? I promise it won’t happen again”
That’s the ex
Jimin looks really awkward I should probably do something
Omg I feel like I’m in a drama the ex hook up just went off on how much he enjoyed ‘that night’ with jimin
My soulmate has game :’) your fave could never
Wait yikes jimin didn’t like that he’s making his stink face
Joonie:
Oh my god tae save your soulmate
Put poor chim out of his awkward misery
Nochu:
Smh jimin what happened with your hookup?
Taebi:
Yikes hook up just got creepy

Dad joke:

Sleepy boi:
Question: why is the hook up apologizing to jimin? Shouldn’t it be the other way?
Chim:
No.
Joonie:
Jimin! Welcome back! How’d it go?
Chim:
Awful.
Dad joke:
What happened?
Taebi:
Ex hook up wanted another hook up :/ chim’s game is TOO good
Nochu:
N I c e
Hyung’s got game
Chim:
NO
We aren’t compatible
And like no offense but some of the things he wanted from me I didn’t feel comfortable doing and I don’t want to say them because everyone can like what they like
Who am I to judge right?
But I really would rather just eat my mcflurry and forget about that awkward run in please guys
It was so bad
Taebi:
…jimin….
Chim:
😊 don’t worry I’m fine! I mean yeah it was awkward but like we had fun that one time even though it wasn’t for me! So I’m okay! I’m just glad I can have icecream and nuggets with my soulmate <3
Taebi:

Joonie:
:)
Chim:
Aw you guys are cute
Sleepy boi:
*disgusting
They’re grossly in love
Chim:
It’s cute!
You don’t think it’s cute? They get all squishy around each other! I mean namjoon-hyung is already pretty soft as a person but he’s EXTRA soft when he’s with kookie!
Hoebi:
“squishy”
Chim what you so cute for?
Taebi:
Yoongi-hyung do you hate love?
Chim:
:O
HYUNGGGGGGG
DO YOU HATE LOVE?!
Sleepy boi:
No jimin I don’t hate love
I actually like love a lot
It’s cute
But namjoon and Jungkook are my bestfriends and seeing them together is awkward because I’m a socially awkward person and their relationship makes me feel very single
I’m happy for them! (happy for you guys)
but my responsibility as their hyung is to give them shit for being disgustingly in love
chim:
wait you’re single?
Taebi:
How is that the only thing you picked up on?
Nochu:
Tae shhhhh it’s getting good
Taebi:
K
Sleepy boi:
Yea I’m single
You didn’t know?
Chim:
NO
I DIDN’T
HOW ARE YOU SINGLE?!
Sleepy boi:
I’m socially anxious and sleep a lot
Not exactly prime dating material with my mental health being how it is right now either
Chim:
Excuse me
Yes you are
You’re great
You’re smart and funny and talented
And you’re really hot
How has no one tried to snatch you up yet?!
Not that you're an object ofc
Sleepy boi:
Thanks chim
You’re so sweet
:)
And it’s not that I haven’t dated before! I’ve had partners before. It’s just been a while
Chim:
Oh okay I get that
I haven’t dated in a long time either
Dad joke:
I just got back from the store why are yoongi and jimin talking about dating?
Sleepy boi:
Jimin was curious
Dad joke:
Oh WAS HE?
Chim:
I’m just surprised is all!
I don’t understand how nobody would want to date him!

2:02PM TUESDAY 2 OCTOBER
[Private Chat: “LOML”]
Ggukie:
JOONIE JOONIE JOONIE
JOOOOOONIEEEEEEEE
JIMIN HAS A CRUSH ON YOONGI!!!!
Monie:
???
What?
Ggukie:
I was talking to taetae-hyung and he told me that jimin has a big fat crush on yoongi!
I called it!
Jimin acts extra soft to yoongi-hyung!
Monie:
Oh wow
Wow okay I definitely wasn’t expecting that
Ggukie:
Me neither!
It’s so cool though!
HYUNG WE SHOULD SET THEM UP
YOONGI ALREADY HAS A SOFT SPOT FOR JIMINk
Monie:
…Idk kook…
That might not be a good idea
Ggukie:
What? Why not?
They’re both small, angry, and single
They’d be great boyfriends
Monie:
If jimin actually likes yoongi…
Ggukie:
What do you mean?
Taetae-hyung said that jimin has a crush on him ofc he likes yoongi??
Monie:
Baby you know I don’t like analyzing people
But this includes yoongi-hyung and I don’t want him to get hurt
Why does taehyung think that Jimin has a crush on yoongi?
Ggukie:
Well…
Idk he wasn’t allowed to tell me TECHNICALLY
I just kept guessing and guessed correctly
Jimin probably told him though!
Monie:
Okay
Assuming that jimin told tae
We have to remember that jimin hasn’t been in a relationship before
He may THINK he likes yoongi-hyung romantically
But what if he just wants something temporary like his other relationships?
Ggukie:
You mean his hookups?
Monie:
I didn’t want to use that term, but yeah…them
I like Jimin a lot! I really do! He’s really nice and a great friend
But I just don’t think jimin is the type to settle down for a relationship
And I know Yoongi-hyung. He isn’t going to want something temporary.
There’s a very big possibility that jimin is just projecting his sexual interest in yoongi-hyung now, and doesn’t actually want to date him
Ggukie:
☹ You mean jimin would only want to sleep with hyung?
Monie:
It’s a possibility!
Not the only option ofc
Because jimin could genuinely like him! Yoongi-hyung is really nice! He’s a great guy and if jimin really likes him then he’ll see that
But I just don’t think that’s the case. I know he’s your friend and you’re closer to him than I am, but Jimin’s history with partners isn’t exactly trustworthy
Ggukie:
:( :(
Well now I’m sad
Yoongi-hyung deserves all the love after everything he’s been through
Monie:
He does! He deserves so much of it! I’m just worried that Jimin won’t be able to provide it and leave yoongi-hyung attached and hurt at the end
Ggukie:
I see your point :(
Monie:
Aw no baby don’t be sad
I didn’t mean to be that person
I’m just an overthinker and maybe Jimin really has a crush on yoongi! I don’t know him as well as you do and if you think his feelings are real then we should definitely get them together! Or try to since I don’t know how yoongi-hyung feels
Ggukie:
No hyung you’re right…
I didn’t consider Jimin’s history
He doesn’t talk about it so I forget about it ☹ You’re right about him maybe not liking hyung for more than sex
Monie:
I’m sorry…
I know you were really excited I’m sorry I ruined that for you :(
Ggukie:
No! It’s okay! Stop frowning!
Monie:
: )
Gggukie:
You’re so cute <3
Can I come over for cuddles?
Monie:
Kook you were here earlier
Ggukie:

Monie:

jimin is dead to me
agust d:
lmao you shouldn’t have exposed him last night
v:
I didn’t think he’d mind ☹
It’s not like it’s a secret that he’s a hoe
He acts like it’s something he needs to be ashamed of and I just want him to know that it isn’t
You know?
Agust d:
Maybe he doesn’t want people to know tae
Maybe he’s shy
V:
Yeah because he thinks we’ll judge him
But that’s dumb! Because Jungkook was the biggest fuckboi before namjoon and him got together! You know!
Agust d:
Does he know that?
V:
Yeah!
Agust d:
Huh
Well idk tae
Jimin’s hot so idk why he’d be embarrassed about it but it’s not our business I guess
Anyways now that I know you’re okay

You shouldn’t be missing practice

Chim:
Yoongi-hyung I respect you a lot but if you don’t stop talking down to yourself I’m going to get really mad and like fight you
So please
Just let me bring you cookies and hug you when you’re upset
Can I even hug you? Idk
And stop talking so bad about yourself please
You’re fucking great and talented and I wish you wouldn’t be so hard on yourself
You’re 1000% more important than dance class
We’re friends
Friends come first.
Taebi:
Sleepy boi:
Okay
I’m sorry
Chim:
Please don’t apologize
You have nothing to be sorry about
I know you’re having a bad time
I shouldn’t have snapped at you like that
I just really admire you and hearing you talk about yourself so badly just
Idk
Don’t blame yourself
I’m getting cookies now

I’m sorry for yelling at you like that
It was really uncalled for especially since you’re upset
You don’t have to forgive me but I really do think you’re amazing
Suga-hyung:
It’s okay jimin
I understand why you got mad
Jimin:
It’s still not an excuse
I got you some hot chocolate too
Sorry
Suga-hyung:
I’m sorry for making you mad
I forget you’re not used to me being like this
Jimin:
Like what?
Upset?
Everyone gets upset hyung, it’s okay
Suga-hyung:
I know
I mean
I know it’s fine to be upset but i forget you’re not used to me going to the group
You don’t know what a fucking mess I am haha
Jimin:
Don’t talk bad about yourself please
I’m just glad you’re able to trust me with your mental health too, hyung
I know we aren’t as close as everyone else but it means a lot to me to know that you trust me when you’re upset too
Thank you for trusting me
Suga-hyung:
Why wouldn’t I trust you?
We’re friends?
For like a year now?
Jimin we’re not as close as me and the others but that doesn’t mean I don’t trust you
Jimin:
Oh
Well now I know that
Thank you hyung

Monie:
It’s nothing
I’m just thinking to myself
Are you okay? You made a weird face earlier
Ggukie:
I’m okay
I just
I can’t stop thinking about what you said
Jimin is really nice but you’re right…
What if he’s just doing all this to get into yoongi-hyungs pants?
I used to do that when I slept around joonie
I was horrible
I used to be nice and then drop the girls as soon as we slept together
Joonie what if he’s doing that too? ☹ I don’t want to believe it but…I’m worried
Monie:
Aw kook no
I’m sorry I said anything
I made tension with you and your friend
Ggukie:
No
I would’ve thought it eventually
Because I was the same
Yoongi-hyung is too sensitive for those games
Monie:
Hey don’t look so sad
How about this:
We don’t let it happen. If you and I team up, we can keep jimin form pulling any moves on yoongi-hyung
He probably isn’t even aware that he’s doing these things, so if it goes too far, we’ll talk to him, yeah?
I agree that hyung is too sensitive for this
But jimin is a good guy even if his history isn’t the best
Ggukie:
…okay
Okay yeah that’s a good idea
We’ll keep yoongi-hyung from being used
Monie:
Yeah so cheer up okay? We’re here to make yoongi feel better and if you look all upset he’s gonna think it’s his fault

I’M GONNA SMILE SO MUCH

What are soulmates for if not for sharing intimate details with each other!
I’ve told you about my wet dream of jin-hyung!
Mochimin:

Well I’m a lot curious right now!
Did you bottom!
You seem like a bottom
But like you could also be a top? Idk with you chim
Mochimin:

Mochimin:
You’re something else tae
Fine
Taehyungie:
Wellllllll???

Mochimin:
Idk what you want me to say tae??? Like it was just sex? It wasn’t anything special?
He wanted to meet up and he’s nice so why not?
And we both agreed it was just to stress release
It isn’t that big of a deal
Taehyungie:
Was it kinky or vanilla
Mochimin:
…a little of both?
Idk he held me down but yeah
Not super kinky but not like
Super soft
We don’t really know each other, just attracted to each other
So I don’t really trust him to like go kinky kinky, you know?
Mutual attraction and good sex, ig?

MY DICK GOT SUCKED AND THEN I HAD A DICK IN MY ASS
AND IN CASE YOU DON’T REMEMBER WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO HAVE SEX OR WHAT IT ENTITLES
IT FELT GOOD
AND IT WENT IN AND OUT
AND I ORGASMED
AND MAYBE HE HELD ME DOWN AND DIRTY TALKED
AND MAYBE I LIKED IT
A LOT
AND THERE WAS SPANKING AND PRAISING AND LIKE
A SECOND ROUND
AND THEN HE PASSED OUT AND I GRABBED MY CLOTHES AND LEFT AND NOW HERE I AM
MORTIFIED
BECAUSE YOU GUYS CAN’T GET SEX ON THE REGULAR
Taebi:
GET IT
Hoebi:
Wow
I’m so proud :’)
Bottom lives matter *fist bump*
Chim:
Please don’t ever say that to me again you top
Hoebi:
Silence, bottom
Chim:
Bitch I switch
Depending on what my partner is comfortable with
Ofc
Sleepy boi:
So I’m reading that over again and I’m sorry but who was being spanked and did you do the thing where you had to count?
For science
Chim:

He wants sex
Monie:

Ggukie:
I’m going to take a walk.
Monie:
Wait come over
Calm down before you do something you’ll regret
Ggukie:
Don’t worry hyung
I’ll be fine
But jimin is gonna stay away from yoongi-hyung
And he’s going to realize this crush is nothing
And nobody is going to get hurt
I’ll be back later.

I understand! Yoongi-hyung is here with me so I’m not lonely 😊
Sleepy boi:

Did you just call me fat
Sleepy boi:
Yes
Nochu:
I am not fat
Joonie tell him
Joonie:
He’s not fat
At all
Yoongi-hyung that was mean
Nochu:
Yeah hyung
I demand food for my emotional wounds
Sleepy boi:
You heard him Namjoon
Go get your boyfriend food for his emotional wounds
I’m only treating jimin though
He’s the only one who respects me in this house therefore he’s the only one I’m spending my hard earned money on
Taebi:
I can’t respect you when I can barely see you
Sleepy boi:

Sleepy boi:

Chim:
Um
Sleepy boi:
So I’m gonna spend the day with jimin today
Without you brats
And jin-hyung
Chim:
I know we’re friends
Sleepy boi:
Do you?
Cuz you’re a little too shocked whenever we spend time together
We’re friends
We’re gonna hang out
Without leeching brats
(Jeon Jungkook that means you in case I wasn’t obvious enough)
Taebi:

Hey kookie I’m sorry you couldn’t come with us today! I’ll make it up to you and bring you some food tomorrow, I promise!
read 4:59pm
[Private Chat: “BFFL”]
Tae:
Come home
Jimin is gonna skip out movie night and I’m lonely
This is not the time for you to be getting cuddles from your boyfriend
Kook:
I’m not with joonie
I’m on a walk
Tae:
Oh shit what’s wrong
You never go on walks unless you’re upset
Are you still mad about yoongi not wanting to hang out?
You know he barely hangs with chim
Besides chim was super excited about hanging out with just yoongi
I think he was secretly glad yoongi didn’t let you tag along lol what a cute nugget
Kook:
I’m not mad about that
I’m just
Annoyed
It’s nothing
Tae:
Hey don’t do that
You’re my bestfriend
Tell me what’s wrong?
Kook:
…promise me you won’t tell jimin
Tae:
…I promise
Kook:
I don’t think he likes yoongi at all
I think maybe he thinks he does
But joonie made a really good point
And jimin isn’t good at relationships
He’s told us that remember?
A long time ago he told us that he likes to sleep around and that commitment scares him because he doesn’t know if he can be ready to choose one person for the rest of his life
And that’s fine
There’s nothing wrong with that
But yoongi-hyung isn’t like that
He doesn’t do casual sex like jimin does
He wants commitment
And I don’t think jimin can do that
So he’d only hurt yoongi-hyung
And I don’t want that to happen so i’m trying my best to make sure they’re not in a position where yoongi-hyung can get hurt
But it’s really hard when he shuts me out like that
I’m trying to make sure hes okay and he won’t let me
And I’m tryin to be considerate of jimin because I know he just can’t do relationships and its fine
It’s FINE
I used to sleep around
But I changed
And idk ifh e will
Tae:
Oh kook
Buddy
Listen
We know jimin
He’s our friend
He would never hurt yoongi-hyung
You know that
He respects him so much it’s kind of ridiculous
Kook:
Yeah
For now
What about when he sleeps with him?
Jimin has always been nice before he gets someone into bed
We know it
We’ve seen it
And then what happens?
Tae:
Jungkook
Kook:
What happens tae?
What does jimin do after?
Tae:
That’s not fair
Kook:
Just tell me
Confirm it
Tae:
Jungkook you’re not being fair to jimin at all
Kook:
Tae
Tae:
Fine
Fine kook, jimin leaves the person
But you know it’s not as simple as that
We both know jimin is upfront about his intentions
He tells his hook ups that they’re not serious and it’s a one night thing and they all agree to the terms
He doesn’t play games
It’s not his fault the other person gets attached because he was upfront from the start
Kook:
The point is that he leaves
And no matter how upfront he is, if the other person likes him that way, they’re going to get hurt
What if yoongi-hyung ends up liking jimin? Romantically? He already seems weirdly invested in jimin. What if he finds out jimin only wants him for sex
What do we do then, tae?
Jimin is my friend but yoongi-hyung is like family to me
I’m not going to be nice to jimin if he hurts my family
Tae:
Kook jimin isn’t going to do that
We know him better than that
Kook:
We do
And we know how he is
And we know yoongi
And how he is
They’re not compatible
Tae:
Is this why you’ve been so upset lately?
Kook:
Yeah
I didn’t want to tell anyone
Well I told joonie but I tell him everything so
Tae:
Hey
Can I say something
Kook:
Yeah
Tae:
Just because jimin sleeps around doesn’t mean he’s going to do that to yoongi-hyung
I see your point
I really do
But I just don’t think jimin is mean enough to do that to someone, and I genuinely think he likes yoongi. Is he handling those feelings well? Absolutely not, but I don’t think jimin knows how to handle feelings yet. He’s not leading yoongi-hyung on, though. They’re friends
And it’s kind of hypocritical for you to think so low of him when before namjoon-hyung you were the same
Kook:
Not intentionally
And it’s different with me and joonie
I stopped when I realized I liked him
But what about that guy from mcdonalds?
Tae:
What about him
He was an ex kook
Kook:
Yeah
And he was attached to jimin
And what did jimin do? Dropped him
Not acknowledge him
Hide behind you
Ignore him and avoid
Put yoongi-hyung into the other guys shoes
How does yoongi-hyung react to people hating him after being used?
Tae:
…not well…
He doesn’t like disappointing people…
Kook:
Yeah
Now imagine how used he’ll feel like when jimin just wants sex and none of his personality
How disappointing he’ll feel not to be good enough for anything but sex
Imagine how shitty that’ll feel on his self esteem which is already really low even though he jokes about it
Tae:
You put a lot of thought into this
Kook:
I’m just worried
Tae:
No I see your point
I don’t think jimin is like that though
Kook:
Well just in case
I’m not gonna let it happen
Yoongi can be mad at me but I’m gonna try to make sure he doesn’t get hurt again
I don’t want a repeat of two years ago
Tae:
…okay…
Come back please I’m sad now
Kook:
Okay
I’m sorry
I’m on my way
Please don’t tell jimin this

Chimmy:

Get your own snacks
Brat
Cooky:
No I’m sorry
Please help me pay I’m poor
Tata:
That’s a lie and we all know it
Your parents are helping you through college
Cooky:
…yeah but I spent my money on joonie…
Chimmy:
CUTE
Okay fine I’ll pay
Cooky:
:D my favorite hyung
Chimmy:
I wasn’t aware yoongi was in this gc?
Tata:
Ouch
Cooky:
What?
Chimmy:
Lol kookie
Everyone knows yoongi-hyung is your favorite hyung out of all of us
Even more favorite than namjoon-hyung
Actually I thought you would date yoongi for a while there :’)
Tata:
Lmao chim
Jungkook used to have the biggest crush on yoongi before we knew you
Chimmy:
WHAAAAAAAT?! AND YOU DIDN’T TELL ME?! AWWWWWW
Cooky:
No
Don’t make it a thing
I was young
Chimmy:
Hey yoongi is a great person to have a crush on! Don’t be embarrassed!
Cooky:
I know he’s great!
But I was embarrassing when I was younger!
Tata:
He used to follow yoongi around everywhere
Like a little puppy
One time yoongi hugged kook cuz he failed his English test and kook cried even harder
And later spammed me with how good yoongi smelled
Chimmy:
Omfg kook you’re so cute
Cooky:
Let’s just get the snacks and remember that joonie and I are very happy together and yoongi-hyung is practically my brother
Tata:
Asdgjh you were even more of a disaster with your crush on namjoon!
😂😂😂😂😂😂
You couldn’t even look him in the eye even though you followed him everywhere!
Satellite Jungkook shone sooooooo much I was worried you’d try and fuse with namjoon
😂😂😂😂😂
Cooky:
HEY YOU'RE LAUGHING BUT IT WORKED
WHO HAS A BOYFRIEND AND WHO’S SINGLE?
Tata:
…
Cooky:
THAT’S FUCKING RIGHT YOU TRICK ASS BITCH
ITS ME
I STAY WINNING
Chimmy:

Cooky:

Jiminieeeeeee ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Tata:
👀👀👀
[“BFFL”]
Tae:
So
Are we going to talk about how you’re suddenly team jimin?
Kook:
look
He’s still my friend
I just don’t agree with some of the shit he does
Tae:
Yeah well
You were acting like you were ready to jump him a few days ago
Kook:
I'm not going to jump him. I'm just going to have a stern word with him if he hurts yoongi, and he will probably cry, but i won't jump him
But they’re not even close so I’m worrying over nothing
And listen just because I don’t like what jimin does doesn’t mean I don’t like jimin
He’s my best friend
Tae:
I still think you’re being too harsh on Jimin
Kook:
Well you can keep thinking that
But we don’t know him that well
He doesn’t open up to us
I realized that. Like I don’t even know what his family is like? I just know he has a sibling and that he’s from busan, but I literally just barely found that out
Jimin doesn’t tell us anything and idk its bugging me to know that he isn’t as open with us as we all are with him
But whatever. Everyone has a right to their privacy, and jimin is still my friend
He’s just not gonna fuck with yoongi-hyung as long as I’m around 😊
Tae:
…okay kook
Did you get the snacks?
Kook:
We’re coming back now!

I got this from Hobi-hyung. we were watching something on my laptop and joonie almost touched my ass but he didn't :/
this is when hyung was having a mental breakdown during his final production piece and jin-hyung took a picture of us right as joonie was telling me to let him get back to his laptop (I didn't btw i made him come home and cuddle me)
i didn't think hyung could carry me but HE CAN and I was SO HAPPY
his hands,,, are so soft????
this was us being SPIED ON by yoongi-hyung but look how cute joonie is in his beanie?
I was surprising joonie after his class here and i didn't realize taetae had his camera out but we're cute right?
HAVE I MENTIONED THAT I LOVE THIS MAN?????

Last time you rapped you were an ASSHOLE to us
Taebi:
I don’t recall
Sleepy boi:
Does “Alright, so I heard the hyungs’ rap well. Namjoon’s hyungs all mature now. Their rap skills are nearly back to back. It’s a compliment, now quit it” sound familiar?
Taebi:
That’s not me idk
Hoebi:
‘hobi hyungs in front of me, he’s getting all tense now. What’s making you nervous? Go make us some kimchi”
Joonie:
“Daegu dialect, it’s alive. Youngi hyung, you alive son?”

NO
It isn’t
Because I can roast you twice as much 😊
You remember agust d don’t you?

You’re quiet in the groupchat
I can see you lurking
You usually jump in
Jimin:
Ah yeah
Sorry
I just didn’t have anything to say
Suga-hyung:
Just say anything
Roast taehyung with him
Jimin:
Well I mean I can’t?
I didn’t even know he wrote that rap thing until just now
…remember, I just met you all this year so I don’t know all the inside jokes lol
Suga-hyung:
Oh yeah
I forgot
Well jump in anyways
Quit lurking like a weirdo
Jimin:
…hyung…
You lurk more than I do
Suga-hyung:
That’s completely different
I lurk because I’m depressive and tend to dissociate or not have the energy to text
Jimin:
…are you okay hyung?
Suga-hyung:
I’m having a weird day
My sensitivity is at a high so I’m texting to burn off the excess energy
Jimin:
Do you want to come on a walk with me? Maybe that’ll help the energy
Suga-hyung:
Actually a walk sounds fucking perfect right now
Meet me at the square
Jimin:
Okay text me when you get there!
Suga-hyung:
I’m here
Jimin:
I see you! I’m waving!
HIIII

Yes please
And can we go to the convenience store too? I haven’t eaten and I’m starving

I’m wearing jeans
Jimin:
Liar
You live in sweatpants
Suga-hyung:
Maybe so
Fiiiiine I’ll put on jeans but idk why I even have to
I’m in college
We’re supposed to wear sweats 24/7
Jimin:
Because you’re happier when you look good
Suga-hyung:
…what?
Jimin:
Sorry that was weird
Um
It’s just I’ve noticed that you tend to like
Act happier and more confident when you’re dressed up
Like
You know you look good so you feel good
I’m probably wrong I’m sorry I shouldn’t have assumed
Suga-hyung:
No you’re right
I’m just
Nobody has ever noticed that before
Sorry
Jimin:
No no I’m sorry I made it awkward
Suga-hyung:
You didn’t

Yes?
Suga-hyung:
Thanks for noticing these things
And for going on all these walks with me
I know you probably have shit to do besides do nothing with me
Jimin:
Lol no it’s okay hyung
I need the exercise anyways
Suga-hyung:
Wtf do you mean you need the exercise
You’re a dancer
Is that not enough of a work out?
I’ve seen hobi at dance and it looks hard
Jimin:
Yeah but like
More exercise won’t kill me lol
I wont gain weight this way
Suga-hyung is typing…
Jimin:
I’m at your building!
Come out lil meow meow~
Yoongi-hyung:
I’m going to murder you
Jimin:
uwu

Kookie:
Hyung where are you?
I’m at your dorm
Small-hyung:
Kookie!
Sorry I’m on a walk right now!
Do you need something?
Kookie:
I just wanted to return your flashdrive
Thanks for letting me use it for my presentation btw
Small-hyung:
No problem!
Ah do you think you can come meet us at that 24 hour café near campus?
Kookie:
Yeah no problem
Are you there rn?
Small-hyung:
Yep!
Thanks kookie! You’re the best!
Kookie:
Nah thank YOU
You saved my ass with this project
I’m on my way don’t go anywhere
Small-hyung:
I won’t!
[nochu created a group!]
[ Nochu has added Taebi, Joonie, Dad joke, and Hoebi to the group]
[Nochu changed the name of the group to “Serious Business”]
[“Serious Business”]
Joonie:
Kook?
Nochu:
I have gathered you all here today to discuss something serious
Dad joke:
Yeah I could tell from the chat name
Where’s yoongi?
Let me add him
Nochu:
No
You don’t have admin rights
Dad joke:
Why are you excluding yoongi?
Joonie:
Kook…
Nochu:
We have a problem
Taebi:
Yo what’s this?
Hoebi:
Jungkook was just about to explain that
Where’s jimin?
Nochu:
He’s part of the problem
Joonie:
Jungkook
Stop this
Nochu:
No. You were right okay?
Yoongi and Jimin are hanging out a lot
Hoebi:
They’re friends Jungkook
Friends hang out
We all hang out with jimin
You literally hang out with him more than the rest of us
What problem do you have with him?
Nochu:
I don’t have a problem with him
I have a bit of a problem with him leading on yoongi-hyung
Taebi:
KOOKIE ARE YOU REALLY DOING THIS RN
This is ridiculous okay you’re taking this too far
Nochu:
Yes! Yes okay! I am! And call me an asshole and tell me it’s too far but idc I refuse to let yoongi-hyung get hurt again like before!
You guys remember what he was like! You remember how shitty the first two months were!
Hoebi:
What and you think Jimin is like yoongi’s ex?
That’s ridiculous
Taebi:
Thank you hobi-hyung that’s exactly what I said
Hoebi:
Wait you knew about this?
Taebi:
Jungkook was freaking out about it a few weeks ago
Dad joke:
Okay I have a lot to say here but first I want to hear why Jungkook is so concerned about yoongi’s friendship with jimin
Nochu:
Look we all know jimin has a thing for yoongi-hyung
He’s not subtle
We’ve all noticed the flirting
And like I thought it was fine because who the hell wouldn’t like hyung? He’s great. People are stupid not to fall for him. But joonie made a good point and he’s a genius so he knows what he’s talking about
Dad joke:
What was the point made?
Nochu:
Joonie tell them
You explain it better
Please
Joonie:
…look I have nothing against jimin!
I don’t!
He’s great!
But he’s kind of reckless with people’s hearts. He likes sex (which is fine!) and he likes a lot of it. We all know it, and its nothing to be ashamed of, but I think because he’s so used to experiencing sexual attraction he’s maybe confusing it for romantic attraction to young-hyung
Aka I think he THINKS he likes hyung, but it’s just sexual attraction and general friendship feelings. And even if it’s not true, jimin has told us repeatedly in the past that he doesn’t feel like he can commit to relationships, because making a huge decision like choosing to stay with one person for the rest of his life scares him.
He’s indesicive, and hyung isn’t. Hyung is all or nothing. on the chance that yoongi-hyung develops romantic feelings for Jimin, and best case scenario jimin has actual romantic feelings for yoongi-hyung, I don’t think their relationship would last. Jimin is too afraid of commitment and he’s kind of flaky when it comes to emotional attachment (he doesn’t open up to us ever which means he wouldn’t be vulnerable with yoongi. Aka jimin would have all the emotional upper hand in the hypothetical relationship), and yoongi-hyung needs someone who will be there for him emotionally and romantically.
I don’t think jimin would be ready for that
And yoongi-hyung gets attached easy, even if he acts like he doesn’t care about anything
He’ll be crushed when jimin inevitably gets cold feet
Again! nothing against jimin, but from his behavior currently and in the past, he would more than likely end up hurting yoongi
Hoebi:
Jfc that’s a huge wall of txt
Lemme read it
Dad joke:
I read it
You make a good point, namjoon, but what if jimin changes for yoongi?
Joonie:
Not likely
Jimin hasn’t shown any inclination of changing thus far, and he has stated he has a crush on yoongi. He still sleeps around (even though he doesn’t talk about it with us, I’ve heard things about what he does)
Hoebi:
Hey
There’s no slut shaming here
Nochu:
He’s not slut shaming
Nobody is telling jimin that he’s a slut or even saying anything about his sleeping around. We support him and whatever the hell he does with his body
We’re just stating that he’s not gonna commit to yoongi
Which if you look at the facts, you know it’s true
Hoebi:
You used to sleep around, Jungkook
A lot
Nochu:
And I stopped when I realized I liked joonie
I changed to prove I could be with him
Jimin hasn’t done that
And he’s leading yoongi-hyung on
Taebi:
They’re literally just hanging out
As FRIENDS
Jimin has every right to hang out with yoongi (his friend) ((OUR friends))
Nochu:
I saw them hanging out today and they’re too close! Jimin is practically sitting on hyung’s lap at that 24 hour café and hyung is letting him
That’s not what friends do.
Hyung doesn’t let ANYONE touch him that much
He’s starting to like jimin and he probably doesn’t even know cuz he represses shit cuz he’s emotionally constipated
Dad joke:
Kookie you’re very sweet in being so protective
But yoongi can make his own decisions
He’s an adult
Nochu:
Yeah
And then he gets hurt from those decisions
We’re going to be the ones who have to help him get better
Because we all know yoongi will just let himself spiral and take it to mean that he’s not good enough for jimin, not that he was being used
And I don’t want to see him like that again
And it’ll hurt more because yoongi will think jimin is a friend when he isn’t
And I’m not going to let it happen
So fuck yall if you don’t wanna help me
But I’m done
Jimin doesn’t get to lead on my hyung like this
I’m not letting this situation happen again.
Nochu has left “Serious Business”
Hoebi:
Shit he’s upset
Namjoon?
Joonie:
I’m already on my way to find him
But he has a point and you all know it
We know what happened between them before…and we know what the fallout was…
I like jimin too, guys, but the facts are there unfortunately
he’ll probably realize his feelings aren’t romantic soon
just
let’s be cautious, yeah?
Dad joke:
…okay fine
We’ll be cautious
But this is ridiculous
Taebi:

Hey
I’m about to do a really impulsive thing
Fetus:
Do it
Wait no what’s the impulsive thing?
If you’re planning on dropping dance again out of nowhere then I say no
Chim:
Jaegyu is being an ass again
And I was going to go to tae and kook’s dorm again
But they’re busy
And
I’m thinking about biting the bullet and going to yoongi-hyung’s place instead
Fetus:
Do it
You guys are friends
Chim:
Okay but
What if he gets annoyed with me there?
We hang out a lot
He’s gotta be sick of me by now, right?
Fetus:
No
Just ask him
It’s better than being around your dick of a roommate

Can I come over?
If you’re not busy!
Suga-hyung:
Yeah
Hobi should be back from dance soon but I can let him know that you want to hang out with him

Are you okay?
Is your roommate still being an asshole?
Jimin:
My roommate is asleep
I’m fine
Suga-hyung:
I still say you should report him if he’s being an ass
There’s nothing wrong with you liking makeup
Jimin:
It’s fine
It’s not the makeup he just hates me
It’s fine though not everyone gets along with their roommates
I’m overreacting
I’m gonna go to bed now~ goodnight hyung!

You may be right about that jimin thing
They were really really gross and couply just looking at memes so
You may be onto something
Nochu:
I fucking told you.
Notes:
and so the plot thickens....
by the way, I feel like i should say that there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG WITH WHETHER YOU HAVE A LOT OF SEX, NO SEX, OR ANYTHING IN BETWEEN. Sex is your business and your business only (unless you have a partner but then it's only BOTH of your businesses)
the opinions expressed in this chapter and the following chapters from characters do not reflect my own. Do whatever you want with your body, guys, as long as you're being safe and responsible about it <3

Because I don’t want them to know

Why not? If they know, they can report him too and then you won’t have to deal with him
Jimin:
Please just leave it, hyung. I appreciate you being there for me but I don’t want anyone to know
It’s not really worth the fight
Suga-hyung:
There’s nothing wrong with telling your friends when you’re struggling, Jimin.
Jimin:
I know that
I just
They can’t know. I can handle it
Suga-hyung:
…how about this:
You confide in me when you’re upset. I won’t tell anyone, and I’ll respect your boundaries. But you need someone to talk to. Something tells me you bottle stuff up a lot, and that’s not good for you
Jimin:
Please don’t take this the wrong way hyung but you really don’t know anything about me to be assuming things
Suga-hyung:
You’re right
I don’t know a lot about you
Because you’re so private and reserved you don’t tell me anything
But I understand you.
You have issues, and I have issues, so if anyone gets it, I do.
I’m not going to tell you how to fix your shit, because that’s your problem to deal with, but I can be here to listen to you
Jimin:
I’m fine
Suga-hyung:
It’s okay not to be okay, Jimin
Look at me
I’m not always okay
Do you look down on me?
Jimin:
That’s different and you know it
It’s not your fault that you’re not okay
Suga-hyung:
Jesus is this what I used to sound like?
It’s not different
Your feelings matter
You’re not weak or stupid for having them
Just talk to me sometimes. I’m a good listener

What

Why did you suddenly decide to confess? You’ve liked him for months now

We’re getting closer
We’ve been going on walks for a few weeks now
All the time
And like
It’s the end of the semester and
Idk
I want to

GOD FINALLY IT HURTS KNOWING YOU’RE PINING HARD FOR HIM

Okay but
He’s going to reject me

He’s going to what now
Chim:
Reject me
He doesn’t see me that way
Fetus:
Hyung
Wtf
I knew your left esteem is low but like come on there’s no way you’re right about that
Chim:
No listen
I know when people like me
I’m not dumb
I want to confess but I also know he’ll reject me
Like
I’m torn
He doesn’t show any of the signs people give when they like me
Fetus:
Maybe that’s how he shows affection?
Chim:
No
He’s just attracted to me but a lot of people are and that doesn’t mean they’ll like me
So I know he doesn’t like me that way
Honestly he’s probably scared off by my issues
I’m hot but I’m fucked up lol
We’re both fucked up
Yoongi-hyung won’t want to date me. He wants someone who is mentally stable enough to be good for him and that can help him when he's down
Nevermind I’m not going to confess after all
Fetus:
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HYUNG NOOOOOO
YOU GOTTA
STOP GETTING IN YOUR OWN WAY

No I changed my mind

[Private Chat: “Soulmates R’Us”]
Taebi:
Chimmmmmmmm
Chimminie
Come over
I have hair dye
Dye my hair please
Chim:
Omg I’m on my way
They’re sitting in the bathroom sink, Taehyung’s head lathered up with hair bleach, when Jimin’s phone buzzes.
“Ooh, who’s that?” Taehyung teases, and ever the snoop, he leans over to look at the screen of Jimin’s phone.
“No one.” Jimin presses the screen to his chest, not even checking the notification yet. “Don’t be nosy!”
Taehyung just sits back on the edge of the bathtub and pouts. The sight is ridiculous; there’s a plastic bag over his head (to keep in the heat and make the bleach develop faster) and a white towel around his shoulders. He looks like the type of guy who sits in his basement trying 3am informercial hair renewal products while ranting on the internet that the government is hiding aliens. The mental image of Taehyung running around with a tinfoil hat makes Jimin snicker a little—the knowledge that his friend is impulsive enough to actually do that makes his laughing even worse.
Taehyung doesn’t say anything about Jimin’s laugh, just rolls his eyes and starts tapping away at his own phone again.
Taking advantage of his distraction, Jimin unlocks his phone. He has a text from Yoongi.
“Oh.” He says out loud, surprised. It was too early for Yoongi’s ‘Let’s take a walk’ text. Was everything okay?
He opens the screen, and it’s just a picture of a bumblebee on a flower with the caption underneath saying “Here’s a bee since you have a bee obsession.”
Jimin smiles, texts back a string of heart emojis, and puts his phone back into his pocket. Taehyung is watching him when he looks up.
“Who was that?” He asks curiously.
“Yoongi-hyung. He sent me a picture of a bee.”
Taehyung smiles, box-shaped and bright as the sun. “Aw, even hyung knows you have a weird thing with bees!”
“They’re cute!” Jimin defends. He’s not ashamed of liking bees—they’re important to the ecosystem and all they do is fly their fat, fluffy yellow bodies from flower to flower. Jimin likes to think they’re nature’s fairies—Bees don’t even sting unless you bother them!
“How’s your crush doing?”
The abruptness of the question throws Jimin off. It’s been a few months since he had even mentioned his crush to Taehyung (more like been forced to admit his feelings). Jimin is so subtle and private about his feelings he had assumed Taehyung had forgotten all about it. He needs to blink a couple times and really process the question before he’s able to answer. “Um…it’s fine? It’s still there, I guess.”
Taehyung makes a face like he’s eating a particularly sour lemon. “You’re really bad at details. Have you thought about confessing to Yoongi-hyung?”
“God no.” Jimin blurts. “I can’t. I’m not confessing.”
The lemon-eating-face intensifies. “Why not?”
Jimin purses his lips. Tae stares at him. Jimin shrugs. Tae stares harder, then sighs.
“You should confess.”
“No.” Jimin is firm on his decision. “You know it won’t work out, Tae. Relationships never work out with me.”
Taehyung’s posture slouches, defeated, and he mumbles, “Yeah…I know…I was hoping for a different answer though.”
Jimin doesn’t know what to say to that, so he stays silent. He checks the time on his phone. “Hey, it’s time to rinse. Let’s get rid of the copper tone now.”
“Okay.” Taehyung says, and he’s subdued while Jimin continues to work on his hair. He responds in small, quiet sentences as Jimin rinses him off and applies the purple toner to the poor, fried strands, and falls into pensive silence in between answering direct questions Jimin asks him. Jimin wonders what could have upset his friend, but when he asks, Taehyung just says that it’s nothing.
Taehyung isn’t his animated self again until Jungkook opens the bathroom door and blinks at the pair. Jimin has Taehyung bent over the sink, leaning over him to rinse his hair off.
“Well this doesn’t look compromising at all.” Jungkook jokes, but his tone is off. Something about the edge to his words makes Jimin uncomfortable—it’s too close to the sneers that used to follow him in the halls. But he’s being ridiculous. These are his friends—Jimin is just being paranoid.
“I’m going blonde.” Taehyung says from his position in the sink, and now he’s wiggling around in Jimin’s hold. “Jimin is helping me.”
“I’m sure.” And then Jungkook laughs, and Jimin doesn’t understand what the joke was, but he assumes it’s another inside joke he doesn’t know and shrugs it off. He continues to rinse off Taehyung’s hair.
Jungkook settles himself on the wall. “Class was a bitch today. I’m probably going to fail it, which means I can’t take the next one in the sequence next semester.”
Jimin glances at Jungkook, let’s Taehyung straighten himself out. “Aw, Jungkookie, I’m sorry. Why don’t you go to a tutor?”
“There’s no tutors for computer science. It’s too late in the semester to even find one anyway.” He frowns and shakes his head. “Doesn’t matter.”
“Want me to dye your hair?” Jimin asks. He’s noticed that Jungkook reacts best to subject changes when he’s upset. The hyungs always distract Jungkook before he can get lost in his own head about his insecurities.
He considers it and eventually declines. “No, thanks. I don’t want to burn my head. Tae’s the only one who likes his scalp hurting.”
“Day two-hundred without sex.” Taehyung laments, his hands clutched over his chest. “I dyed my hair so Jimin’s tiny hands could remind me how much I love having my hair pulled.”
Jimin stumbles away from Taehyung, cheeks flaming. “Kim Taehyung!”
Jungkook is cackling, loud and obnoxious, while Taehyung is just pouting up at Jimin. “Pull my hair again, Jiminie. I need to remember what it feels like to be dominated.”
Jimin backs even further away from Tae, shaking his head. “No! No no. No, I’m not indulging your kinks—”
Jungkook doubles over in tears, “This is a kinkshame free zone!”
Taehyung sighs, runs his hands through his hair—or rather, he tries. His fingers get caught in the bleached strands and he makes a face before deciding not to try an untangle it. “You’re no fun.”
“I’m plenty fun, just not to my friends.”
“Prude.”
“Jimin gets more sex than all of us combined.” Jungkook pipes in. “Prude is literally the last word you could have chosen to describe him.”
The wording doesn’t sit well with Jimin, but he lets it go. Jungkook probably didn’t mean anything by his wording, and it’s not like he’s wrong. Jimin does have a lot of sex. Sure, he’s been cutting down, but his friends don’t know that. He doesn’t try to advertise his sex life, so he hasn’t found a need to mention the lack-of-sex-life either. It’s not like whether he sleeps with someone or not is their business, anyways, so he doesn’t mind if his friends assume he’s having more fun than he is. Jimin isn’t the type to announce that he’s going somewhat celibate because of his hopeless crush on Yoongi (Jimin knows it’s hopeless regardless of how many times Taehyung might try to convince him otherwise; people don’t actually like Jimin. They like that he’s hot and that he’s easy; beyond that, Jimin is just a hassle to deal with. His past relationships are all examples of this fact). He’s just going to keep his sex life to himself and let them speculate.
What harm can it do to let his friends keep believing what keeps them amused?
He misses the sharp look Tae cast Jungkook.
“Hey, why don’t we dye your hair, Jimin?”
“No, I like the blond.” He pushes some strands out of his face. “I’m going to keep it for a while longer. Tae, you’re the only one who wanted a change today.”
“I’m a trendsetter.”
“You’re definitely something.” Jungkook rolls his eyes. He walks out of the bathroom, leaving Jimin and Tae behind, and Jimin starts gathering his stuff.
“I should start heading back to my dorm.” He says.
Taehyung shakes his head. “No. We’re watching a movie.”
“All we ever do is watch movies.”
“Oh, I’m sorry. Would his highness like to rob a bank?”
Jimin giggles. “It’d pay my tuition, so yeah. Let’s do it.”
Taehyung pushes Jimin lightly, snorting. “I can’t believe you’re a criminal. Come on, we’ll watch that magic movie where they rob a bank.”
“This is why we’re soulmates.”

Kookie:

Sleepy-hyung:
Yeah but he looked like he was about to fall over from the cold
It’s not that big a deal
Brat:
You never let me wear your hoodies… :(
Sleepy-hyung:
That’s because you’ll give them to namjoon and then they rip somehow
You and your boyfriend lost your privilege to my clothes
Brat:

This is homophobic
Sleepy-hyung:

Chim:
Uwu
Sleepy boi:
Oh look there’s that murderous intent again

Uwu
Sleepy boi:
Give me one good reason why I should spare your life after your betrayal, park jimin
Chim:

Chim:
Okay here’s another thing to consider:
I’m REALLY adorable
Uwu
Sleepy boi:
Am also considering
Chim:
Are you convinced
Sleepy boi:
No
More evidence required
Chim:
You’re tough to crack
Okay okay
You could murder me hyung
But

You’re too cute to murder
You’ve been spared

Chapter 10: Friends With(out) Benefits
Summary:
Suga-hyung:
Pst jimin
Are you busyJimin:
For you?
Never
Notes:
I don't know if i've made it clear before but the chat names in the private chats are set to what the other person has as a contact. Like the chat between Jimin and Jihyun! Jimin has his brother saved under "fetus". Does that makes sense? for the group chats, the nicknames are what appears in the chat.
(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

4:56PM WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 6
[“Serious Business”]
Nochu:
Please tell me I’m not the only one who noticed how obvious jimin was flirting in the chat
Joonie:
No, I noticed too
Taebi:
He was just being playful!
Jimin does that with us all the time kook, come on
Hoebi:
Tae’s right
Taebi:
Of course I am
I know my soulmate
Nochu:
Well whatever
He’s not subtle
AND YOONGI FLIRTING BACK WTF
Dad joke:
He doesn’t have to be subtle about his crush, Jungkook
You weren’t about namjoon
Nochu:
That’s different.
Dad joke:
Let him be
Yoongi is having fun
He was smiling at his phone
They’re friends, like we all are
Isn’t it good that jimin is comfortable enough to joke with yoongi?
Nochu:
☹ okay I may have overreacted…
Sorry hyungs…
Dad joke:
It’s okay Jungkook <3 we know you’re just worried about yoongi
But maybe just…relax a little bit with that protective streak of yours, yeah?
[Private Chat: "LOML"]
Monie:
Baby
Jungkook
Ggukie:
…yes I’m here
<3
Monie:
<3
Are you okay?
You seem on edge lately
Ggukie:
I’m okay
I’m just stressed
Monie:
Wanna talk about it?
It’s not good to hold things in
Ggukie:
…yeah I wanna talk about it…
…
Monie:
I’m here to listen <3
Ggukie:
I love you <3
Okay here I go
…yoongi hyung is ignoring me
And I’m really stressed because my finals are going to be ridiculously hard so I’ve been studying super hard for them, so when I have time for hyung he doesn’t anymore
He’s probably busy too but I miss being able to come over and be emo together
Monie:
Okay first,
You’re so cute <3
Second: I’m sure he’s not ignoring you
You should tell him you want to spend time with him. He’s probably overworking himself and needs a break anyways
Ggukie:
But he always has time for jimin…
I know they hang out a lot now ☹
Which is fine!
Monie:
But?
Ggukie:
…this is stupid
I feel so dumb now that I have to say it
Monie:
Nothing about you is dumb
Ggukie:
<3
Okay
It feels like he’s replacing me with jimin
And it’s not fair because
Because jimin isn’t even all that great? I’m hyung’s best friend. I’ve been there through everything
I was there when he went to the hospital and now he doesn’t talk to me and he gives jimin his favorite hoodie which he never let me use and
And jimin tells yoongi-hyung when he’s upset instead of telling me or tae
He opens up to yoongi, but not to me or tae and it’s just
Not fair
And WE’RE supposed to be jimin’s friends, not yoongi
Yoongi and hobi and jin are your friends and they know MY friends through me
…I sound like a spoiled brat
Monie:
I understand how you feel
But gguk
You gotta understand that yoongi can make other friends
And if jimin feels comfortable with yoongi, it’s a good thing
Ggukie:
I know that
But I don’t like that he’s replacing me with my own friend
And the same thing with jimin
They’re both replacing me and it’s even more stressful because I know that they’ll never work out
Because jimin won’t be able to handle yoongi when yoongi has his relapses
And then yoongi will be worse because he’ll expect jimin to help and jimin won’t
I’m so scared of when that happens and I want to prevent it because nobody knows hyung like I do and I KNOW that jimin won’t stick around
Monie:
I’ll be there soon okay? Then we can talk more
I have your banana milk
Ggukie:
Okay
I love you
<3

Pst jimin
Are you busy
Jimin:
For you?
Never
What’s up?
Suga-hyung:
Do you want to come to the studio with me?
I need someone to bounce ideas off of for this song
Come with me?
Jimin:
Ofc
Let me pull on pants
Suga-hyung:
Why are you never wearing pants?
Jimin:
Idk tae mentioned he hated wearing pants way back when we first met and I tried going pantsless to bed and long story short I really hate pants now
Suga-hyung:
Huh
Okay that’s weird and we’re definitely going to talk about that more but for now
I’m near your building
Jimin:
Omg okay I’m on my way!
You walk so fast omg
8:21PM THURSDAY 7 DECEMBER
Suga-hyung:
Where are you?
Jimin.
Where the fuck did you go?
i've been looking for you for ten minutes now please tell me where you went?
Jimin:
Please leave me alone
Suga-hyung:
No
Come back, please
Those assholes are gone
Jimin:
No.
I’m going home
Suga-hyung:
To your asshole roommate?
Jimin:
…
He’s not back till later
Suga-hyung:
Jimin cmon
Please just come back
We’ll go somewhere else
I don’t care what those assholes said
Jimin:
No
Suga-hyung:
Jimin please
Jimin:
I don’t want to
Everyone heard them
They’re going to laugh at me
Suga-hyung:
Tell me where you are then
I’ll come get you and we’ll go back to mine and hobi’s dorm
Jimin:
…I’m in the bathrooms
Suga-hyung:
Okay
I’m outside of them
Please come out
Jimin:
Is anyone still around that heard?
Suga-hyung:
No, they left after the assholes did
You’re safe to come out now
Jimin:
I don’t want to
Suga-hyung:
Then I’m coming in
[Private Chat: “Favorite Child”]
Chim:
Can I ask you something?
Fetus:
Yea
Chim:
Are people still talking about me back home?
Fetus:
…how do you know?
Chim:
Oh.
They are
Okay
Thanks
Fetus:
Hyung what happened?
Chim:
Some people here started mentioning the rumors again
They came up and asked me if I would actually sleep with them for a couple won
Fetus:
Wtf
You’re not a prostitute wtf
Are you okay?
Chim:
Idk
I don’t really care usually, you know? But yoongi-hyung was around
Like he heard them
And it felt really really shitty to know that hyung probably knows that I’m a slut now
Fetus:
You’re not a slut.
Don’t fucking say that.
Are you okay? Was he mean?
Chim:
No
He was really nice actually
Like he was too nice idk
I don’t deserve him being so nice to me
The rumors spread for a reason, right?
Fetus:
Wtf does that mean
Chim:
Don’t get mad
I should’ve seen it coming that rumors would start
I’m not exactly subtle with who I sleep with
Or like
Picky
Fetus:
You better not be implying what I think you are
There’s nothing wrong with having sex
Chim:
But I have it a lot and there’s something wrong with that, right?
I knew that rumors would spread I just didn’t think they’d get so bad, you know?
And things are better here! But I’m still finding people at parties and its only natural that it would happen again
I’m desensitized
I just didn’t want my friends to hear about it
Or yoongi
I haven’t even slept with anyone in weeks ji
Fetus:
Why cuz you’re in love with him?
Chim:
I’m not in love with him
I like him, yes
But I’m not in love yet
Fetus:
What did he do when he heard them? You said he was nice
Chim:
Well okay so
I kinda ran off
Fetus:
Hyung
Chim:
Don’t judge me!
I was upset
They said mean things
So like a coward I ran into the nearest bathroom which was across campus
And he kept texting me and asking where I was
And I didn’t wanna tell him cuz I didn’t want him to like
Hate me
Or judge me or something cuz ya know
I didn’t wanna see that
But he made me tell him and he showed up and I was in the bathroom stall trying not to have a panic attack
And he like
Knocked on the door
And I didn’t want to let him in
Fetus:
Did he like bust through the door?
Chim:
No
I thought he would
But he like sighed
And I heard it all loud and it scared me right
But then through the door he said “jimin you can either open the door and talk to me or I can crawl in there and we can BOTH be uncomfortable”
And like I couldn’t say anything cuz I’m still trying not to freak out
And next thing I know hyung was crawling through the bottom of the stall door
And he like stood up and made a really grossed out face and I thought it was about me
Because of the stuff I’ve done
But he wiped his hands and said “they never clean these fucking bathrooms”
And I laughed a little bit cuz like that’s the last thing I thought he would say and I kept waiting for him to insult me but all he did was like ask me if he could hold my hands cuz holding hands calms him down (which wtf why is he so cute he’s already hot and has a great personality so wtf)
And he held my hands and told me that the people who were talking were assholes
And then we went out for food like we were going to and he held my hands the entire way there
Fetus:
Wtf
That’s adorable
What the fuck
Chim:
I know
Shut up
it doesn't mean anything.
Fetus:
No wtf you held hands with your man
That’s like fifth base
Chim:
Pretty sure holding hands isn’t fifth base
Fetus:
Shut up you hoe for you it’s momentous
You have sex yea
But you don’t do sentimental shit with any of them
Chim:
You make me sound like a mean person
Fetus:
There’s nothing wrong with having sex. You don’t lead anyone on when you do it
Chim:
I try not to
Fetus:
Yeah so you’re fine
Having a lot of sex isn’t a big deal
Same with not ever having sex
It’s just a thing
Chim:
I guess
Fetus:
Hey can I ask a personal question
Chim:
You’re my brother
Of course you can’t
Fetus:
Ha ha
Funny
How come you keep doing this is you hate the rumors?
Chim:
Oh
We’re going deep deep
Idk hyunie sex feels good
I like feeling connected to people and relationships never worked out for me
You know that
People don’t like me. They like sleeping with me, but they don’t want me
This is what I get
Fetus:
Minnnnnnnnn a few bad boyfriends doesn’t mean all relationships are doomed for you!
Chim:
It’s not a few bad boyfriends
I’m not the relationship type~
I’m too much which is okay
And I like how things are >:( sex is fun
Fetus:
But you hate the rumors?
Chim:
The rumors only recently started back up
And like I said I haven’t been sleeping around like before
I cut back a lot
They’ll die down soon, it’s fine
Fetus:
You cut back?
Ohhhhh
OHHH I seeeee e😉
You’re cutting back for yoonngiiiiiiiiiii
Chim:
Stop
Fetus:
Cuz you like himmmmmm
And wanna boyfriend himmmmmm
Chim:
I’m telling mom you broke her favorite china set because you couldn’t wait to go to your room to sleep with your girlfriend
Fetus:
No please I’m sorry I’ll stop
Chim:
😇
8:11PM FRIDAY 8 DECEMBER
[Private Chat: “fine wine”]
Yoongles:
Hyung
Let’s go out tonight
Jin:
For why?
Yoongles:
It’s the end of the semester
I haven’t slept with anyone since the end of the term last year
I want dick
Jin:
I didn’t need to know any of that
Yoongles:
Also kook and joon make me feel really single
And I know they make you feel single too
So lets go out and not be single for the night to celebrate the end of this hell term
Jin:
…
Maybe
Yoongles:
Lets go then
Get sexy
Jin:
Maybe we should ask jimin where he goes for his hook ups
Yoongles:
You know what
That’s actually a great idea
Text him and ask him
Jin:
I’m not gonna ask jimin where he goes for his hook ups, yoongi
I was joking
Yoongles:
Why not?
Jin:
Well first of all it’s rude
Second of all it’s rude
Third of all that seems kind of
Idk
Yoongles:
Rude?
Jin:
No, invasive
And rude obvi
But no don’t you think it’s really invasive to ask where he goes? We both know he’s really weird about his sexscapades
Yoongles:
Yeah
But
Ugh I hate it when you make sense
Jin:
Hey here’s a wild thought
Why don’t you NOT have sex and have a self care night
Yoongles:
Self care is getting dicked down good
Jin:
Yoongi, No
Yoongles:
Yoongi, yes
Lmao maybe I should just ask jimin
Jin:
….
Min yoongi you better not be implying what I think you are
Yoongles:
Maybe I am
Idk
Would that be weird?
Jin:
Asking your friend to sleep with you?
Yeah yoongi I’d say that’s a little weird
Yoongles:
Friends with benefits exist
Jin:
You don’t do friends with benefits
You literally get emotionally attached to anyone you hug, yoongi
You whine to have your hand held when you’re pretending to be drunk
You literally would not be able to have a friend with benefits with anyone
Yoongles:
I could be friends with benefits with jimin
Jin:
No you couldn’t
Besides, he wouldn’t do that
I’ve never heard him mention the same name twice
And no offense but I don’t think jimin would want to be friends with benefits with someone he’s so close to
I know he treats sex casually but I don’t think he treats it THAT casual
He’s gotta have some limits, right?
Yoongles:
Yeahhh but the difference is
I’m me
I’m awesome
And like I think it would work
We’re good friends now
And I like him and he likes me so
We’re compatible
Jin:
The fact that you’re good friends makes it an even worse idea
Look
We’ll go out
And you’ll get sloppy drunk and maybe sleep with someone
And we leave jimin out of it
Yoongles:
But jin listen
He’s really cute
No
He’s hot
Like objectively jimin is really hot
And his ass?
MMMMMMMMMM
🤤🤤🤤
Jin:
Jfc
How drunk are you?
we do not objectify our friends, yoongi
Yoongles:
I’m not
I’m just
Okay I had like two shots but I’m fiiine
Idk
he’s hot
And I’m only human
Jin:
Get dressed
We’re going out before you jump park jimin
Yoongles:
Okay that’s probably a good idea
Sleeping with jimin would be bad
Even if he has a good ass and probably has good dick game
he’s my friend and sleeping with friends is bad
ruins friendships
and I don’t wanna ruin my friendship with jimin
no matter how hot he is
jfjkdfhkdjghdkjg
Jin:
Yoongi stop talking
Yoongles:
Why do you always silence me ☹

Yo jaegyu
Your roommate is park jimin right
Gyu:
Yea
Why
Loser.png:
Lmao okay
I’m getting coffee and he’s ordering right now getting like twelve fucking drinks
Gyu:
Why do you think I care about what the fuck he does?
I don’t like him
Loser.png:
If you would fucking wait two seconds I would tell you why I texted the groupchat
Fucker
Gyu:
Well go on
I’m at the edge of my seat

Do the math?
Gyu:

I’m a horrible person
Jin:
No the fuck you’re not
You’re incredible
What’s wrong?
Who do I fight?
Yoongles:
My dick
Jin:
…
What
Yoongles:
I’m an asshole
Jimin came over and fell asleep and jfc the bruises on his neck
I wish i couldve taken a picture but goddamn the kid knows when a camera is on him
IS IT BAD THAT I’M KIND OF MAD AT HIM FOR THIS? BUT LIKE LOW KEY I’M GETTING A LITTLE HORNY FROM IT?
Jin:
Y E S
YOONGI THAT’S HORRIBLE
Wait
You’re mad at him?
Why?
Yoongles:
I know!
I know and I feel so bad
Because he didn’t even want me to see but I like
Ripped the scarf he was wearing off cuz I was messing with him and my dumbass asked is he was hiding hickies
Like jokingly
BUT HE WAS
AND HE WAS SO EMBARRASSED
AND MY DICK WAS HARD BECAUSE I’M AN ASSHOLE
AND I FEEL BAD
And yeah idk I’m kind of mad at him? Like.
Idk.
He doesn’t tell me about any of this stuff. Like he can’t trust me or something
And I tell him pretty much everything
He even knows about my weird thing with holding hands
Jin:
I DON’T WANT TO HEAR THIS ANYMORE
In a desperate attempt to change the subject
Do you need a ride to the pharmacy to get your prescription refil?
Yoongles:
Oh
Yeah I do
Thank you for reminding me
Jin:
You’re welcome 😊
I’m free tomorrow in the morning
Wake up on time and we’ll go
Yoongles:
Okay
Help me feel less like a shitty person please
Jin:
Okay
Look
Just because you think jimin is hot you’re not a bad person
It’s a normal reaction to find certain physical things arousing
Just
Don’t act on them?
Keep them to yourself
And I understand being upset about Jimin not opening up, but from what I hear he doesn’t talk to anyone
He’s just a private person. I don’t think it’s anything personal against you
Yoongles:
Okay
You’re right
I’m not gonna act on them btw I just
Shocked
Jin:
That’s fine
But remember
Jimin isn’t someone you can just sleep with, okay?
Yoongles:
He’s just hot
He’s my friend
I know that
I just needed you to confirm that I wasn’t being horrible for finding him hot
Cuz that’s sleazy right? It’s sleazy to sexualize your friend like that
Jin:
There’s nothing wrong with that just remember who he is, yeah?
Yoongles:
You give good advice when you aren’t being an asshole
Jin:
How about you try being a ray of fucking sunshine while in grad school min yoonki bitch
Yoongles:
Jesus okay sorry
Jin:
That’s fucking right
See you tomorrow :*

No

Where’s namjoon
You’re less annoying when he’s around
Nochu:

And so now I have to study too but I want food
Bring me food
Chim:
Get your own food
Nochu:
Mind your own fucking business.
Chim:
Jungkook.
Nochu:
Fuck off.
I want chicken, not you hopping on the bandwagon again.
Dad joke:
Jungkook.
I understand that you’re stressed but you need to remember that Jimin is still your hyung.
Nochu:
He’s too short to be a hyung.
Sleepy boi:
Jeon Jungkook.
Enough.
Nochu:
…I’m sorry
I was over the line
Chim:
It’s fine.
I’m going to go study now. Turning my phone off 😊
Sleepy boi:
Wait
Jimin
Fuck he’s already gone

Sleepy-hyung:
Jeon Jungkook
What the fuck is your problem today
Brat:
I don’t have a problem
Sleepy-hyung:
Try again
Don’t lie to me.
You’re never that disrespectful
Brat:
I wasn’t talking to him
He didn’t have to butt in like that
Sleepy-hyung:
You said ‘hyungs’
That’s all of us
Why did you come at him like that? specifically jimin?
Brat:
I already apologized
It doesn’t matter why I snapped
Jin hyung is already telling me what I did wrong I don’t need you to do it too
Sleepy-hyung:
Okay why are you mad?
Are you really that upset that namjoon isn’t around? what's going on with you?
Brat:
No.
I’m not that childish
Jesus
sleepy-hyung:
Then what?
Why are you pissier than usual
Brat:
I’m stressed and tired, okay?
I almost failed my class and this one is even harder and I don’t know how to fix it
sleepy-hyung:
Okay
I’m sorry you’re stressed
But that’s no excuse to snap at everyone
What would namjoon say if he saw that?
Brat:
…
Don’t lecture me like a child
I’m not a child, hyung. I don’t need you to yell at me like I am
Namjoon-hyung would understand why I’m upset.
sleepy-hyung:
Oh, so I don’t?
So you get a boyfriend and suddenly being your bestfriend since childhood is nothing? You don’t need anyone but him? Don’t want me anymore?
Suddenly I don’t know you as well as your boyfriend does?
Well if you don’t need me then fine.
I’ll leave.
Brat:
No, hyung
No no no
That’s not what I meant
I just
sleepy-hyung:
No I get it
I understand perfectly
Go find namjoon to talk with
He understands you better

Hey hyung
Sorry I’m studying right now I can’t go on a walk ☹
Yoongi-hyung:
Can I come over please
I don’t want to take a stupid walk

Yoongi-hyung:
Park jimin if you don’t hug me I will physically break down and cry
Please hug me
Jimin:
Okay
I’ll hug the shit out of you
Are you almost here? Do you need me to meet you anywhere?
Yoongi-hyung:
I’m outside of your building
Let me in
Please
Jimin:
I’m running
Jimin is panicking a little. (That’s a lie: Jimin is panicking a lot). The texts from Yoongi were so visibly distressed Jimin was even feeling on edge from them. Even through the phone screen, where the tones and inflictions of the human voice were lost, Yoongi had seemed very, very upset, and Jimin wasn’t used to being the person anyone went to when they were very, very upset.
But he had accepted Yoongi, of course, because how could he not? How could he ignore Yoongi’s obvious reach for help? How could Jimin not bend over backwards for Yoongi?
So, panicking as badly as he was, Jimin ran down three flights of stairs (nearly killing himself in the process as he tripped on the last flight) and to the entrance of his dorm building.
Yoongi is already outside of the main entrance, pacing and holding his head in his hands. Jimin’s fingers shake as he throws open the front doors. “Hey hyung—”
Yoongi turns to Jimin, and oh. Oh, that’s an expression Jimin never wants to see on his favorite hyung’s face.
Red rimmed eyes, tightly pursed lips, messed up hair, and something wild and distressed in his eyes, Yoongi looks like he’s on the verge of a mental breakdown. According to his earlier texts, that’s exactly what was happening. He looks at Jimin and tries for a smile; it falls flat. Honestly, it’s a mocking attempt of a smile compared to the brightness of Yoongi’s actual gummy smile.
Jimin spreads his arms out. “C’mere hyung.”
Yoongi doesn’t need to be told twice. His voice cracks as he says “Hi”, and his expression crumbles as he rushes right into Jimin’s open arms. Jimin caught a glimpse of the first round of tears that had leaked through Yoongi’s eyes before he’d had an armful of crying hyung. He hears the shuddered sob muffled into the crook of his neck, and responds by tightening his grip on Yoongi.
Normally, Yoongi is the same size as Jimin. In this moment, he’s clearly doing everything he can to make himself as small as possible within Jimin’s embrace. Yoongi is shaking even as Jimin rubs his small hands in circles on his back, and he’s making aborted attempts at controlling his sobs.
Maybe Jimin’s heart shatters with every sob Yoongi tries to muffle. Maybe Jimin feels something like anger at whatever caused his strongest hyung to feel like this.
“Shh, hyung.” Jimin sooths. “It’s okay. You’re okay.”
Over and over, Jimin repeats variations of those phrases until he notices some of his floormates stepping out of the elevator across the lounge. Jimin glares at them when they look his way, maneuvering Yoongi away from their prying eyes.
“We’re gonna go upstairs, okay?” Jimin says quietly to Yoongi, and reluctantly he loosens his hold. Immediately, Yoongi starts to push himself away, but Jimin only slips his arm across Yoongi’s shoulders and pulls him into his side; he’s still hiding Yoongi from view even as he leads the elder to the elevator. He doesn’t let go when the elevator doors slide shut, and he doesn’t let go when the doors slide open again on the third floor.
Jimin only dares to let go of Yoongi when the door to his dorm room is firmly shut and locked behind them, and Yoongi himself is pulling away, his arms wrapped around his own torso.
“Do you want to talk about it?” Jimin asks, holding his arms out again. The invitation is clear. “Or do you want to just cuddle and cry it out? We can even hold hands—I know it’s calming for you to do so.”
Yoongi takes a second to think and then he’s invading Jimin’s space again, hugging him just as tightly as before. Jimin wonders why he’s never noticed that Yoongi likes hugs. Yoongi mutters some words against Jimin’s shoulder, which Jimin works out to be something like “Jungkook is replacing me with Namjoon.”
“That’s not true.” Jimin frowns. “It’s not—no, listen to me.” He was younger, but right now Jimin felt like he had to act like he did with his brother Jihyun. He needed to control the situation before it got even more out of hand. “Jungkookie loves you. He’s basically your brother. I’m sure you just misunderstood. What happened?”
He’s listening for an explanation, but Yoongi doesn’t give one. He only shoves his phone into Jimin’s hands and keeps hugging.
Confused, Jimin looks at the screen. It’s open to a chat log between Jungkook and Yoongi. From over Yoongi’s shoulder, Jimin could clearly see that messages are still flooding in, Jungkook begging for Yoongi to answer, apologizing over and over again.
“Jungkook keeps messaging you. He says he’s sorry.”
Yoongi shake his head. “Don’t care. Doesn’t mean it.”
Clearly they weren’t going to get anywhere with that subject. With a small sigh, Jimin locks Yoongi’s phone and gently tosses it onto his bed.
“Okay. Alright. Are you okay? No, that’s a stupid question, of course you’re not okay.”
Jimin counts the watery laugh that Yoongi lets out as a win.
“Is something else bothering you?” He asks instead.
Yoongi hesitates, then exhales. “Yes? No? I don’t know. There’s so much. I’m so behind on my assignments because I’m too depressed to do them. Jungkook has been getting more and more distant with me and everyone seems to have their shit together but me. I’m supposed to be better on these meds, but they’re just making me too tired to do anything. I’m fucking up my songs, and every time I feel like something is manageable, I have ten more things thrown at me. I’m a mess, and Jungkook is starting to see that and now he doesn’t want me again but it’s worse now, because he’s replacing me with Namjoon who’s perfect like I’m not and I can’t fucking handle that. I’m a horrible person who can’t handle his best friend being happy because he doesn’t want me just like every other person? My best friend doesn’t fucking want me, Jimin, and why the fuck would he?”
“Oh.” Eyes wide, Jimin waits for Yoongi to finish. He’s fumbling with words, frustrated and still hugging Jimin. “I-I want you, hyung.”
Jimin wants to swallow back his last sentence, but Yoongi doesn’t even see to be listening to him.
“I kind of want to fucking stop trying.” Yoongi breathes out. It’s quieter than his rambling, like he’s afraid of the words he’s saying. Jimin is terrified; Yoongi’s words are driving nails into the soles of his feet, rooting him in place with heavy implications. “I just…Do you ever realize how easy it would be? I could take the elevator and go to the top floor of any building and just. Drop. I could take all of my meds and I kind of want to, Jimin, and that scares me. I don’t want to die, but I want to just stop existing. Does that even make sense?”
It does. It makes so much sense a part of Jimin aches.
“Yeah.” Jimin breathes. “I understand.”
“I’m not going to do it.” Yoongi continues. “But I could. It’d be easier than this. I’d stop fucking up. I’d stop feeling so useless and people would finally want me back because everyone loves you when you’re dead and…and Jimin, I want everything to stop and it isn’t. Everything keeps going and it’s just too much.”
“It’s too much.”
Jimin understands. Oh, how he understands. He’s aware of the crushing pressure of his own breathing, like his lungs are telling him they’re just as tired as his brain is. He knows the static of his thoughts building up until the pressure in his chest becomes pressure in his brain, and he has to leave and find something to distract him, anything, because Jimin doesn’t know what he’s capable of doing when he’s alone. He understands perfectly well needing to extinguish his own existence, even for a night, but being unable to; the next day pretending that he hadn’t stared into the void and craved that it devour him whole. Jimin understands; he wishes Yoongi didn’t.
“Yeah. It is. I’m sorry. I wish I knew how to make it better.”
“Me too.”
Yoongi doesn’t say anything else. He’s not sobbing anymore, just clinging to Jimin. Eventually, standing in the middle of the room becomes uncomfortable, so he shuffles them over to his bed. It’s too small, way too small for two full grown men, but Yoongi doesn’t seem to care that the small bed makes him cling to Jimin, half on top of him, and Jimin clings back, his heart pounding. His heart is pounding so bad, Yoongi can definitely feel it, but he doesn’t say anything.
Outside, the campus is buzzing with life, but inside the room, Jimin and Yoongi are paused, breathing and existing and feeling too much and nothing at all.

Not that kind of help
I need emotion help
This crush on Yoongi isn’t going away
I thought that by now it would have faded away and I wouldn’t have to worry about it but
It hasn’t
Fetus:
Oh
Oh hyung
You really like him
Chim:
Yeah
I don’t want to
But I do
And it isn’t going away
I really like him, ji
Fetus:
You should tell him
Maybe he feels the same?
Chim:
No
He doesn’t
I don’t want to ruin our friendship
But I don’t know what to do with these feelings
And I just
He doesn’t help make them go away.
He’s so good and kind to me
And he’s always holding my hand now when we hang out because it calms his anxiety down and
And he’s just so good and I don’t want to fuck anything up with feelings again
Fetus:
You should at least tell one of your friends
They know yoongi more than I do
They can help you figure out what to do
Please, hyung
I think it’ll be good
Chim:
I don’t know…
What if they laugh at me?
It’s kind of pathetic to get feelings for one of your friends, right?
Fetus:
Wrong.
Look, I don’t know much about yoongi
But from what you’ve told me about him (a lot)
He seems really nice
And genuine
Honestly, hyung, if you DIDN’T have feelings for him I’d be surprised
Your friends won’t make fun of you
They’ll support you like I do
Chim:
I’m scared
Fetus:
Of what?
Chim:
What if they tell him?
And he rejects me?
What if he thinks I’m only around him because I want to date him? Or fuck him?
I don’t want him to think I’m using him
I really like him…
I don’t want these feelings to ruin our friendship
Fetus:
Then he’s an asshole if he does
But he doesn’t seem like one
Please Jimin
Tell one of your friends
You gotta start trusting people other than me…
Chim:
…yeah
Okay yeah you’re right
Thank you <3

There’s nothing to understand
You’re my bestfriend
And I trust you with everything
I’m sorry for snapping at you
I was being a brat
sleepy-hyung:
Don’t apologize to me
You weren’t very nice to jimin, and that wasn’t okay Jungkook
Idk what’s going on with you lately but you’ve been acting up, especially around him

12:11PM MONDAY 5 FEBRUARY
[Private Chat: “Walk Buddies”]
Jiminie changed the chat name to “min^2”
[Private Chat: “min^2”]
Jiminie:
There
I fixed it
This is our stage name hyung
We’re gonna present the best fucking song ever under this name
Min Suga:
Jiminie
We’re not presenting like that
Jiminie:
☹ why not
I think it’s cute
Min suga:
Okay it’s cute
But
I’m not cute
My image is bad boy rapper, Minnie
I can't mess with my label
Jiminie:
Hyung
You’re cute
And I’m cute
We’re going to be Min-Squared
AND WE'RE GOING TO BE ADORABLE
Min suga:
Jimin
No
Jiminie:
Yoongi
Yes
Min suga:
>:(
Jiminie:
👼
6:11PM WEDNESDAY 7 FEBRUARY
Jiminie:
And in conclusion
I think you should sing with me
You literally CAN'T say no to the compelling argument i just gave okay
Min suga:
Nah
I don’t sing
Jiminie:
Hyung…
This is a vocal class
You gotta sing
Min suga:
…jokes on you the teacher already said I could rap melodiously
Jiminie:
>:( I will make you sing
MARK MY WORDS, MIN YOONGI HYUNG, YOU. WILL. SING
3:28AM SATURDAY 10 FEBRUARY
Min suga:
Are you awake?
Jiminie:
Yeah
Are you okay?
Min suga:
I’m fine
I’m just in a weird mindset right now
Why aren’t you sleeping?
Jiminie:
I’m also in a weird mindset
Min suga:
Are you okay?
Jiminie:
I’m fine
Just thinking
Do you want a distraction?
Min suga:
Yeah
Please
I don’t have the motivation to get up and go for our walks though…
Jiminie:
Let’s play twenty questions then
Min suga:
Okay
You first
Jiminie:
Okay!
Why did you decide on your major?
Min suga:
…I was expecting a favorite color question but damn you went all in
I respect that
I chose audio production so I could make music. I heard a lot of songs as a kid that made me want to make my own music, and then for a while I was listening to soundcloud rappers and (this is going to sound so egotistical) it sounded shitty. I wanted to do better, and I wanted to put something out into the world
Actually
I wanted to be an idol for a while, but that was a stupid idea
I wouldn’t make it as an idol
But I still want to make music. Maybe I can make songs for idols to perform, maybe I just make music for myself
I just want to be able to put my ideas out there and make people feel things
Jiminie:
Woah
I think you would’ve been a great idol
Min suga:
Jimin
I can’t dance
That’s kind of required for idols
Jiminie:
…there are teachers
I’m sure you would’ve been a great dancer
Min suga:
If you say so
Why did you transfer schools?
Jiminie:
Oh
I didn’t feel welcome in my other school
Um
Haha okay so um
Remember what those people were saying when I ran off?
Min suga:
…yeah
Jiminie:
Okay well
That happened a lot at my old school
I have sex a lot, hyung
And people don’t like that
They talk about it a lot
And rumors spread and it got annoying so I left the first chance I could
Min suga:
There’s nothing wrong with having sex. Having a lot of it, or having none of it. Sex is nobody's business but your own
Jiminie:
Thank you for saying that <3
But that’s my tragic backstory lol
Min suga:
Hey
Were you bullied before?
Jiminie:
Why would you ask that?
Min suga:
You don’t have to tell me
I just
When people spread rumors, stupid people believe stupid rumors and do stupid shit
And they take it out on the victim (aka you)
So
I need to know if there’s anyone I need to fight
Jiminie:
Besides my roommate? 😂😂😂
It’s okay
I don’t see them anymore
I got bullied a little but it wasn’t anything I couldn’t handle
But thank you <3
Min suga:
<3
Your turn
Jiminie:
Oh! Okay um
How did you and everyone get so close?
Min suga:
You haven’t heard this story yet?
Jiminie:
No :’) sorry
Min suga:
It’s fine
It’s nothing exciting. I’ve known Kook since we were kids. His family came to Daegu a lot in the summers, and my parents used to be close to his through work so we spent a lot of time together. Taehyung I met in highschool. He stole my lyric notebook thinking it was his sketchbook and we’ve been hanging out ever since. Joon and Hobi I met on some online forums for a rapper group; they were looking for a third member and they liked the demos I sent them. When I moved to seoul after graduating high school we met up a lot and figured out we were in the same university. Jin was my roommate my first year and we clicked
And then you were dropped into my lap this year
Jiminie:
I came late :’)
Min suga:
It’s okay
You’re one of us now
Doesn’t matter if it’s only been for a year
Jiminie:
…thank you 😊
I’m really glad to hear that
Sometimes it feels like I’m just bothering you guys
Min suga:
Jiminie
I can assure you that everyone bothers everyone
It’s how we work
We irritate the fuck out of each other but we love each other in the end
We care about you
Jiminie:
<3
I care about you too
All of you
A lot
You guys are really good friends to me and I’m glad I have you <3
Min suga:
My turn
When did you start dying your hair?
Jiminie:
That’s random
Uhhh I was 18
I thought it would be cool to change my hair up and I’ve been doing it ever since
I’m actually due for a color change soon but idk what it will be
Min suga:
Orange
Jiminie:
Only if you dye yours green
Min suga:
Fuck no
Jiminie:
Then it looks like I’m not doing orange 😊
2:55PM SATURDAY 17 FEBRUARY
Jiminie:
Hey hyung
Is Jungkook still there with you?
Min suga:
Nah he just left
What’s up?
Jiminie:
Nothing~
I just wanted to see if you wanted some company?
Min suga:
Jaegyu?
Jiminie:
Yeah
Min suga:
Come over
Jiminie:
Omw~
7:01PM SATURDAY 17 FEBRUARY
Min suga:
Hey
I know we just saw each other but are you okay?
You looked really uncomfortable at the coffee shop today
Did I do something?
Jiminie:
No no
You didn’t
I’m just being paranoid haha
Sometimes I get anxious in public but it’s fine it’s not your fault
Min suga:
You should’ve told me
We could’ve stayed in
Jiminie:
No it’s okay! It’s not a big deal
You wanted to go out
Min suga:
But you were uncomfortable
Tell me next time you’re feeling anxious
Please
I want you to have fun when we hang out too
your feelings and comfort matter
Jiminie:
It’s really not a big deal
I’m overreacting
Min suga:
You’re not
Promise me you’ll tell me? I feel really bad when you’re uncomfortable and it’s my fault
Jiminie:
Okay hyung
I promise
9:02AM THURSDAY 22 FEBRUARY
Jiminie:
Hyung
I’m not coming to class today
I’m sorry
I can’t today
Min suga:
It’s okay
Are you okay though?
Jiminie:
Not really
I’m having a bad day
Min suga:
Do you want to come over? Hobi is gonna be out late for his rehearsals probably
Jiminie:
Is it just you then?
Min suga:
Yeah
Why?
Jiminie:
It’s too loud
When everyone is around it’s too loud
Sorry
I’m just
Sorry I can’t do this today
Min suga:
Do you wanna talk about it?
Jiminie:
You’re in class right now
It’s not that big of a deal
Min suga:
It’s fine
I’m in the back today
Nobody can see my phone
What’s wrong?
Jiminie:
It’s nothing
I’m just not having a good day
Everything is too much
The sounds are too loud and everything I touch itches and I’m just
I can’t today.
Min suga:
I’m bringing coffee after my class
Jiminie:
No
I don’t want it.
Please don’t come here I’m a mess

Min suga:
Please don’t ever apologize for having a bad day
I have them a lot okay? I understand
It’s not your fault shit is hard
You have a right to your feelings
Jiminie:
I just feel stupid
I should be able to handle it better
Min suga:
No
You should be feeling what you need to feel.
Suppressing shit doesn’t help anyone, jimin
We’re your friends
We care about you
I care about you, and I’m here for you, and nothing you could say will scare me away from being your friend.
I understand that you don’t want to talk to me, but I’m here for you if you ever do.

1:26AM SATURDAY 3 MARCH
[Private Chat: “min^2”]
Jiminie:
I’m stupid
I’m so stupid I was lonely and jaegyu was here
And his friends were here too and they just
They kept making fun of me
and telling me things I already know but I didn’t wanna hear it I’m not in the mood
and I left
I left and I kept walking and there was a club and I went in because it’s loud enough I don’t have to think there and it was fine for a while
I was having fun
Min suga:
What happened?
Jiminie:
They were laughing at me
I don’t even know who the fuck they were but they clearly fucking knew me.
And I know it was at me because they were pointing and I was going to ignore it but they came over and
And they asked me how much for a night
I’m not like that
I’m not
Hyung you have to believe me I’m not like that
Min suga:
I know you’re not like that jimin
It’s okay
Tell hyung what else happened?
Did you tell them off?
Jiminie:
I tried
I told them to fuck off
But they didn’t
They kept asking and started throwing money at me and it was so humiliating
I
Hyung iv’e never felt bad for having sex before but they made me feel like I was a slut
And I know I’m easy
I know I’m a lot of things but I don’t
I don’t deserve this, right?
I don’t
I’m not
Hyung I’m not that desperate to be fucked for this I don’t think I deserve this
It’s not fucking fair
Min suga:
Jimin wtf
That
That’s so fucked up of them what the actual fuck???
You don’t deserve any of that shit.
i’m almost there
jiminie:
are you texting and driving?
Hyung pls don’t crash
Min suga:
I pulled over cuz my phone kept dinging
I’m going
what else happened? How did you get to where you are?
Jiminie:
I
I got upset…
And they saw that I was going to cry and they kept saying more things I don’t want to repeat
They hurt a lot
And I left because I didn’t need to deal with that but they just
Kept yelling more things as I did and they followed me out
I’m pretty sure they were drunk
Idk how they even recognized me
They were trying to follow me so I started running
And idk they kept following and I kept making turns and then I got lost and here I am
And I’m kind of crying still but I’m just
I know I’m easy but it’s not fair?
I

Dad joke:

Joon:

Sleepy boi:
Jimin
Nochu:
What about him?
Chim:
Nothing
It’s not a big deal
Hyung is just being overprotective
Dad joke:
Jimin?
You can talk to us <3
What’s wrong?
Chim:
I don’t want to talk about it
It was humiliating.
Please drop it.

V:
What happened to chim?
Is he okay?
He doesn’t seem okay
He’s shutting me out again
He always shuts me out, hyung and I just want to be there for him :(
Agust d:
I want to tell you
But
V:
But chim told you not to :(
Agust d:
No
Its not my story to tell
He’ll tell you when he’s calmed down
V:
…I’m worried about him, hyung
He's my bestfriend I just want him to be okay and he doesn't seem to be but he won't let me help :(
Agust d:
Don’t be worried 😊 I’m with him
I’ve got his back until he’s ready to open up to you guys
He'll be okay
[Private Chat: “min^2”]
Min suga:
You should tell them
They’re worried about you, jimin
You can’t just hold everything in
We’re your friends, and we’re here for you <3
Jiminie:
Hyung
It’s not important
It’s fine
I can handle it
Min suga:
You were crying when I picked you up, jimin.
Hysterically. You literally were shaking as I hugged you
I know you can handle it on your own, but you don’t have to
Jiminie:
They can’t know
I don’t want them to hate me
Min suga:
Why tf would they hate you for being bullied?
Jiminie:
Cuz it’s my fault?
Hyung even you have to admit that if I didn’t sleep around, none of this would happen
It’s fine.
I can handle it.
I’m not weak.
Min suga:
They won’t hate you
They’ll support you
That’s what friends do
They don’t hate me for being fucked up
Jiminie:
That’s different
You didn’t choose to be depressed. I make the decision every day to go out and sleep around.
They’ll see it’s different, too
Min suga:
It literally isn’t.
The problem isn’t who you sleep with, Minnie, the problem is that people are choosing to use that information to hurt you and bully you, and you sure as fuck didn’t choose to be bullied. They’ll see that
Do you not trust us?
Jiminie:
It’s not that
I’m too much
People don’t like me when they find out things about me
Min suga:
…Minnie
Listen to me
No matter what, they will love you.
You’re our friend.
We’re assholes to each other sometimes, but we care
They don’t hate me for my shit
And trust me
As much as I like to pretend I have it together, you know that I don’t
I’m still depressed as fuck
Still anxious as fuck
Sometimes I lash out at them and people I care about and they still love me
And sometimes it takes all my motivation not to kill myself
But they still love me
They’ll accept whatever you tell them, jiminie
Jiminie:
…okay hyung
I’ll try and be more open
But its hard
I never had friends growing up
Aside from my brother
Min suga:
Really? But you’re a sweetheart
Jiminie:
I was also fat
Min suga:
What?
Jiminie:
I was a fat kid. I ate a lot and kids didn’t want to play because I couldn’t run as fast as them and I got winded easily and my clothes never fit right
I used to get teased for my cheeks all the time
So I never really had friends besides my brother
Min suga:
…but you’re so small now?
Jiminie:
I lost a lot of weight when I started dancing
Dancers can’t be fat, you know?
Min suga:
I’m sorry you were bullied as a kid Minnie
Jiminie:
It’s fine
I’m used to it
People are mean back home
And I’m shy so
Easy target lol
Min suga:
I used to get picked on for having girl legs
Jiminie:
Omg hyung
You are pretty slim…
Min suga:
I look great in a skirt
I don't have a full body pic but the girl legs thing became a running joke and this happened
Jiminie:
Kdsjfhkadjvhkjrh WHERE IS THAT FROM?!
Min suga:
Lol it was a skit for theater class we had to do once
I make a cute girl huh? Min Yoonji
Jiminie:
You’re an even cuter boy
Wait
Ignore that
Min suga:
😊 thank you jiminie~
Jiminie:
😊 you’re welcome
Min suga:
Hey
Jimin
Jiminie:
Yeah
Min suga:
You realize you opened up to me, right?
And I’m not judging you~

Well you sure fucking act like you don’t when he isn’t around.
Kook:
I’m just worried.
Tae:
So am i. I’m worried about yoongi every fucking day, kook. I worry he’s not telling us everything and one day we’ll wake up to another phone call from his family telling us what happened
I’m so fucking worried he’s going to end up getting hurt anytime he makes new friends but you can’t do this.
Jimin is one of us.
He’s our friend.
Whatever is going on with him and yoongi isn’t our business so stop making it be yours.
Kook:
.
And what about when they fuck each other, taehyung-hyung.
What happens then?
What happens when yoongi fucks jimin, and jimin fucks off like it meant nothing (because it means nothing to him to sleep with people, and we know that for a fact.)
What happens when yoongi spirals and we get the hospital call because one of US hurt him.
Tae:
That wont happen.
Jimin isn’t like that.
Kook:
Everyone is like that.
You remember what happened when I fucked up.
Tae:
Jungkook.
Kook:
Admit that I have a point
Tae:
So that’s why you’re doing this? This overprotective stick?
Because you still feel guilty?
Kook:
Of course I feel guilty.
I fucked him up a lot, tae…
I messed up really bad
Hyung wouldn’t look me in the eye for months after that
He hated me, even if he says he didn’t. I know he did.
He didn’t want to see any of us
I don’t want him to go back to that
Relive any of it
Tae:
Kook
Listen
What happened is nothing like what’s happening with jimin and yoongi
Kook:
No?
You sure?
Just like me, jimin sleeps around a lot. Jimin has an idol crush thing on yoongi, just like I used to. Jimin is still sleeping around, despite admitting his feelings for yoongi, like I did.
The only thing that’s left is for yoongi to develop an interest, and then for jimin to tell him he doesn’t want him.
Then yoongi will spiral because that’s another friend who doesn’t want him.
Hyung doesn’t face rejection well
Especially when it’s us.
Tae:
IF jimin reject him
IF yoongi likes jimin
There’s a lot of fucking IFS here
Kook:
Ofc he likes jimin
It’s hard not to like jimin
He’s great
He’s just
Tae:
You better not fucking say what I think you’re about to say, Jeon Jungkook
Because that would be a load of hypocritical bullshit and I’m not afraid to call you out on it. You’re my bestfriend, but so is Jimin.
Kook:
I’m not
He likes sex. A lot
And that’s going to bite him in the ass, eventually
I’m not letting yoongi be dragged into it though
It wouldn’t be fair to him to be another impulse decision to someone who won’t take him serious
Tae:
That’s not your decision to make…
Kook:
I don’t see you trying too hard to stop me
You’re just as worried about him as I am
Tae:
…you can’t keep playing that game with jimin
You can’t be hot and cold, okay?
If you’re really going to play puppet master, then stop stringing jimin along. Either avoid him altogether or treat him like a friend all the time. You can’t be cold to him at random like this
Kook:
fine
I’ll try

I’m not overreacting.
Fetus:

Chim:
Jungkook is upset with me about something.
I’m not overthinking it.
He’s mad at me
I don’t know what I did?
Fetus:
Ask him?
Chim:
No
I don’t to upset him any more
I’m just gonna give him some space?
Maybe its not me
Maybe he’s just having a hard time
Fetus:
Yeah
Give him time hyung~
Notes:
You know that scene in Ouran High School Host Club where the lights are turning on as all of the members slowly realize that Haruhi is a girl and not a boy? Yeah imagine that but the lights are turning on as each member slowly starts seeing how bad their decision to police Yoonmin's relationship is. Tae's light just turned on. Any bets on who the next member to use their collective braincell will be??

Maknae-hyung:
Jeon Jungkook
Let’s talk~
Literally, a child:
…what’s up?
Maknae-hyung:
Tell me something
Are you still freezing jimin out?
Literally, a child:
I’m not freezing him out…
Maknae-hyung:
So that’s a yes.
Alright.
We’re going to have a chat.
And you’re going to listen to me or so help me you and Namjoon are both banned from my cooking.
Literally, a child:
…okay
I’m listening
Maknae-hyung:
Good~
You need to calm down.
This entire thing with keeping Jimin from Yoongi is enough.
Literally, a child:
Hyung
Maknae-hyung:
No. Listen to me.
I’m not Namjoon. I’m not going to sugarcoat shit. I’m not going to hold your hand and tell you that you’re trying your best.
I’m here to tell you to stop your shit.
Literally, a child:
I don’t understand…
Maknae-hyung:
Yes you do.
Don’t play stupid with me, maknae.
You’re smart. You’re in the top 10 students in the university. You know damn well what I’m telling you.
Literally, a child:
I really don’t.
Maknae-hyung:
Alright.
I’m a good hyung, so I’m going to spell this out for you:
You need to stop your shit with Jimin and Yoongi. It’s gone on long enough. I let it go on too long, actually.
You can’t keep freezing Jimin out whenever he does something to irritate you. You’re young, so I’ve been lenient, but enough is enough. You need to cut your shit.
Jimin is your friend, and you need to start acting like it. Yoongi is old enough to make his own decisions on who he wants in his life and how he wants them. If he wants Jimin in his life, it’s not your place to decide otherwise. And frankly, it’s hypocritical of you to act this way to Jimin when we both know that you were just like him before you dated Namjoon.
And did we ever treat you like we’ve been treating Jimin?
No.
We let you and namjoon figure your shit out like adults.
Yoongi is an adult.
Jimin is an adult.
If they choose to fuck around like you and Namjoon, it's their right as adults to do whatever the fuck they want
Literally, a child:
Hyung…
I’m sorry
You’re right but
Maknae-hyung:
No.
No, Jungkook, you’re not playing this game. There are no “buts” here. I understand you’re worried about Yoongi getting his heart broken, and I’ll admit that I was worried about it too, at first, but it’s not our place to get in the way of Yoongi making decisions.
And you know what? Let me tell you something.
Yoongi is 24 years old, and if he’s going to get his heart broken, it should be his decision. He’s old enough to know when who he wants, and he has made it clear that he wants Jimin.
Did you consider that, Jungkook?
Literally, a child:
…I didn’t…
Maknae-hyung:
I know you didn’t.
I know I’m being harsh right now, but if I’m not harsh with you, nobody will be.
Namjoon won’t because he’s in love with you, and Yoongi won’t because he sees you as a kid.
Yoongi wants Jimin, and there’s nothing you can do about it.
Literally, a child:
Jimin doesn’t want Yoongi, though…
Maknae-hyung:
We both know that’s not true. Taehyung told me about a conversation he had with Jimin, and from what he told me, there’s something real there.
We can’t interfere with them.
And even if Jimin didn’t like Yoongi back, it’s not our place to interfere.
They need to work things out.
I know you care about Yoongi, and that concern is probably why I even let it get this far in the first place, but you need to learn to let Yoongi make his own mistakes. You can’t start trying to police his decisions through your concern.
Literally, a child:
Okay.
Okay, hyung.
I’m sorry
I’m sorry, you’re right. I’m sorry.
I’m being an asshole, aren’t I?
I just didn’t want hyung to get hurt
Maknae-hyung:
Yes. You are. And a brat.
But you’re young.
You’re going to make mistakes. Normally I would let you make your own mistakes to learn, but ruining your friendships with Yoongi and Jimin would have been bad.
I know you care about them both, even if you have a shitty way of showing it right now to Jimin.
Literally, a child:
You think it would have ruined our friendship? ☹
Maknae-hyung:
Jungkookie…
Yeah. I do think that. Finding out someone you’re close to thinks so little of you tends to ruin friendships.
Literally, a child:
I don’t think little of anyone, though
Maknae-hyung:
It sure seemed like you did.
Apologize to Jimin.
You need to apologize for being an ass.
Literally, a child:
…Okay but
He didn’t even know
Maknae-hyung:
Jimin isn’t stupid
He knows you’re upset with him.
You’re not subtle when you’re upset, you petty bitch.
Apologize.
Or I’ll tell yoongi, too
How happy do you think he’ll be to know his bestfriend is being a dick on his behalf?
Literally, a child:
Nononono don’t tell yoongi
Maknae-hyung:
Apologize.
Literally, a child:
I will.
I’m sorry
I’m
don’t tell joonie please
maknae-hyung:
oh believe me.
I’m going to be having a nice, long chat with namjoon about psychoanalyzing our friends 😊
Literally, a child:
Why do I feel like I got off easy…?
Maknae-hyung:
Oh that’s because you did, Jungkookie 😊
You’re literally an infant
I can’t bully babies
Namjoon, on the other hand, is a grown ass man 😊
And I’m going to rip him a new one 😊
Literally, a child:
I—
I’m going to go apologize right now
Maknae-hyung:
That’s a wonderful idea, kookie~
You’re such a smart boy 😊

Jihyun
Something weird just happened
Fetus:
Ooh tell me
Chim:
So I here I was
Sitting innocently down in the café
Minding my own business
Drinking my latte
And Jungkook texts me out of fucking nowhere right?
Fetus:
How out of nowhere could it have been
Yall are friends
Don’t you have weekly movie nights?
Chim:
Yeahhhh but shit’s been weird and like I only really talk to kook when tae is around
so it's weird and tense
AND IT GOT WEIRDER
NOW SHUT UP AND LET ME TELL MY STORY
Fetus:
My bad. Go on your royal highness
Chim:
I’m going to ignore that sarcasm
Fetus:
Aw
Chim:
ANYWAY
Jungkook texts me and he sounds all weird and panicky right
And I’m like “oh god this is it. what if he’s mad at me and he punches me in the face”
( i know you've never seen him before but trust me he's B U F F and T A L L and i am strong but this brat could deck me and not break a sweat and that Frightens Me)
Fetus:
Was he?
Did he?
(omfg hyung you coward you could take him. aim for his kneecaps or his dick. bet he doesn't wear a protective cup there when he goes around punching short people)
Chim:
No???
I don’t think so?
Idk he wanted to meet me at the café so I was like
“ight”
And waited for him
And when he showed up he just kinda sat in front of me and kept fiddling with his phone
HE DIDN’T EVEN GET ANYTHING TO DRINK
I felt so weird
And I was about to ask him if he was mad at me right
Cuz he’s been off lately
BUT THEN THIS BRAT
SHOVES HIS PHONE IN MY FACE
AND DO YOU KNOW WHAT WAS ON IT?!
Fetus:
Porn
Chim:
nO
WORSE
Fetus:
Jfc how can it be worse than porn?
Chim:
BEING HIT IN THE NOSE BY A PHONE OPEN TO A PHOTO OF NAMJOON HALF NAKED IS WORSE
Fetus:
Omfg
Seriously
Chim:
I AM DELICATE AND IT HURT OKAY
AND I DIDN’T NEED TO SEE THAT
I DIDN’T WANNA SEE HIM THAT WAY I FEEL TAINTED
HIS PIXELATED NAKED CHEST TOUCHED MY NOSE
Fetus:
You can break me with your toes
and anyway you've seen worse
Chim:
Irrelevant
My toes aren’t my nose
Anyways he got all panicky right and then sat down all red and he kept apologizing to me for hurting my nose and like cleared his phone screen real quick
I was afraid to ask why he was staring at that picture so I didn’t (but maybe it makes him feel brave???? IDK)
I felt bad that he felt so bad
And yeah I told him it was okay and then he sat there for a good two hours
He kept trying to say something but I think he was embarrassed
Probably trying to explain wtf that picture was WHICH I DIDN’T NEED TO SEE OR EVEN KNOW THE CONTEXT OF
So it was really weird
Fetus:
Maybe he wanted to ask you out
Chim:
HE
HAS
A
BOYFRIEND
JIHYUN
NAMJOON IS THE BOYFRIEND
HOW DID YOU NOT PUT THE PIECES TOGETHER FROM THE FACT THAT HE HAD NAMJOON HALF NAKED ON HIS SCREEN??
Fetus:
WELL THAT WOULD’VE BEEN USEFULL INFORMATION BEFORE I WENT AND MADE MYSELF LOOK LIKE AN IDIOT
ALSO WHY ARE ALL YOUR FRIENDS GAY
Chim:
I think tae is straight?
Or like…bi?
Fetus:
That’s one
And you aren’t even sure
Chim:
Idk what to tell you ji
I’m out here living my best life
It just so happens to be a gay life
why you gotta be so salty about it??
Fetus:

…did you at least apologize
Literally, a child:
…sort of
Maknae-hyung:
Explain.
Literally, a child:
Well see um
I accidentally hit him on the nose…
And he may have seen the picture of joon-hyung on my phone that I use to like be brave
And I apologized for that??
Maknae-hyung:
Jeon Jungkook
You went to apologize to Jimin.
And you ended up showing him your emotional support nude from your boyfriend.
And hit him on the nose
And didn’t apologize?
YOU HAD
ONE
JOB
Literally, a child:
…I want to defend myself but I really don’t think anything I say will make you less mad at me right now
Maknae-hyung:
Go stare at your emotional support nude
Maybe it’ll help you grow some cajones

But they followed me and like tried to corner me but I’m not stupid so I tried to stay in the open and idk
Idk he didn’t like that so he just kept cat calling
And saying some gross things
So I stopped walking away and punched him
And then he punched me back but jokes on me he has muscle mass I don’t have hahaha so now everything hurts and it’s even worse because a couple people were around to hear him talk shit about me 😊

1:01AM SUNDAY 25 MARCH
[Private Chat: “favorite child”]
Chim:
I kissed yoongi
Fetus:
YOU WHAT
HYUNG
ANSWER MY CALLS
WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU
TF YOU MEAN YOU KISSED THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE
10:31PM SATURDAY 24 MARCH
Jimin likes to kiss people. He likes the plushness of lips against his, the warmth of another mouth working with his, the hot breath being breathed into his lungs. Jimin likes all of it. He isn’t a stranger to it, either. Jimin’s lips have experienced just about every type of kisser in the book: he’s kissed the first-kissers, with mouths so stiff he giggles into the kiss and coos at how cute their nervous inexperience is. The tongue-first-ask-questions-later kissers and the shy-barely-there kissers always lead to him leading the kiss to how he wants it. He’s been with plush lips, thin lips, dominating lips and heavy I’m-going-to-fuck-you lips.
Jimin is a kiss connoisseur; he likes his kisses.
So, it’s no surprise he had set off in search of the inevitable drunk game of spin the bottle. It’d been twenty minutes since he had arrived at the party, and Jimin was already bored enough to consider going home. College parties had been fun the first few times he had gone, but they were all the same to him now. It was hot, the people were stumbling over themselves drunk, and a few brave souls eventually ended up dancing in the living room while the rest of the party-goers either found someone to go home with or left stumbling back to their dorms.
The music was shitty, so Jimin didn’t feel like dancing, and his friends were still around so he couldn’t just leave. Jimin would feel guilty if he dipped out on the first party they had all gone to as a group.
So, he was left with one option: find the game of spin the bottle.
There were only two places where the game would take place—the location had to accommodate any stragglers, which left two options: the living room where players could sit on the floor, or the basement where the players could sit on the floor in relative silence. This time it was the latter (the living room was filled with drunk dancing, leaving no room for sitting), and Jimin had plopped down cheerfully in the circle during the middle of the most awkward kiss he had ever witnessed.
Clearly shy, both players were visibly out of their comfort zone. They pulled apart just as Jimin settled himself and scurried to their seats in the circle. Jimin leaned forward, pleasantly drunk, and heard the girl to his left say, “Oh Jimin’s here!”
He ignored the “of course he is” he heard from somewhere in the circle. He was here to have fun.
He hadn’t played more than two rounds before he’d impulse texted Yoongi, and when his hyung had stumbled into the basement not long after Jimin’s impatient text, Jimin pat the spot next to him.
Yoongi was flushed; his eyes were wide, his lips puckered into a pout as he glanced around the room. He spotted Jimin quickly, and the way he beamed, gums on full display, had something in Jimin’s gut clench in fondness. Fuck, Yoongi was so cute. He was so fucking cute, Jimin was going to combust.
“Hi, Jiminie.” Yoongi chirped as soon as he had plopped himself on the floor next to Jimin. He fumbled a little when he crossed his legs (trying to figure out how to place them to sit properly) and settled his hands into his lap, swaying a little and still smiling that stupidly bright smile at Jimin.
Jimin was internally combusting at the pleasure of having such a happy expression directed at him. Yoongi was happy to see Jimin. He would never get tired of it. Every time they went on a walk, no matter how distressed the other had been, Yoongi always smiled at Jimin like he was the best thing in the world. It was overwhelming, but Jimin didn’t want it to stop. As selfish as it was, Jimin never wanted it to stop.
“Hi, Min Suga-hyung.” Jimin said just as happily. He blamed the way he leaned into Yoongi’s side on the alcohol. Drunk Jimin was a handsy bitch.
It was Jimin’s turn to spin. He did so carelessly—it didn’t matter who he kissed. This was for fun.
And hey. Maybe it would land on Yoongi.
The neck of the empty soju bottle landed on a familiar girl. Jimin thinks she might be in his dance class, but he doesn’t know for sure. She makes her way to the center of the circle the players had created with a flushed face; Jimin follows soon after (he’s reluctant to pull away from the warmth of sitting next to Yoongi, but he’s playing a game).
The kiss is just a peck—she doesn’t do anything but let their lips brush against each other before she’s pulling away with a squeak and her small hands covering her face. He giggles and pulls her hands away from her face with his and says, “don’t be shy!” and when she flushes darker and gapes, he stumbles back to his seat with another giggle. Yoongi is watching him, still smiling so wide, so happy, and Jimin says, “I don’t even like girls, hyung.”
Yoongi says, “I know. That’s why I’m laughing.”
And Jimin is drunk enough that it’s hilarious. This whole situation is so, so funny to him, because here is Yoongi, the man Jimin is in love with, telling him that he knows Jimin doesn’t like girls. The socially awkward love of Jimin’s life is sitting with him in the middle of a game of spin the bottle, casually discussing Jimin’s sexuality like it’s nothing, and he has no idea that Jimin is feeling so so good about having Yoongi’s attention just on him, stating this fact.
The sky is blue. The planet is dying. Jimin doesn’t like girls.
Jimin is in love with Yoongi, who is very much not a girl, and very much might return Jimin’s feelings.
(That’s a problem for Sober Jimin, he decides firmly. Sober Jimin can deal with the feelings. Drunk Jimin is going to let his hyung keep smiling at him like he’s worth something.)
“I like boys.” Jimin says unnecessarily, and once again Yoongi says, “I know, Minnie.” But this time he’s laughing, and Jimin is laughing, too, and it’s Yoongi’s turn to spin the bottle.
He, too, lands on a girl Jimin dimly recognizes, and when Yoongi returns from the circle he’s wiping his lip and he’s saying, “I like girls too, but that was unpleasant.”
Jimin cackles. He throws his body onto Yoongi’s, laughing so hard Yoongi has to settle an arm around Jimin’s shoulder so Jimin doesn’t topple back in his mirth, and then they’re both laughing like idiots. Drunk idiots.
The game goes on. Jimin spins, he kisses, he settles back next to Yoongi and thinks he would rather stay right there. Yoongi spins, he kisses, and he comes back and rubs his fingers over Jimin’s knuckles splayed out on the carpet in the basement. He’d been right when he’d said he was drunk enough to not care about kissing strangers.
It’s Jimin’s turn again; he takes his hand up and uses it to spin the bottle. This will be his last round, he decides firmly. He’s going to make Yoongi dance to shitty music with him upstairs after this.
Jimin spins. He’s distracted. Yoongi is scrunching his nose, blinking, and Jimin is so endeared he isn’t paying attention to the bottle.
Yoongi suddenly starts snickering. Jimin blinks out of his thoughts, remembering the game and he turns to the bottle.
The soju bottle points to Yoongi, accusing. For the first time since Yoongi had come into the room, Jimin is aware of how thick the air is in the basement. He’s aware of the dull thump of the muffled base from the music upstairs—or is that his heart thudding hard in his chest?
Jimin’s mouth drops open in surprise, and he doesn’t have time to think about what is happening because there is a set of hands on his back pushing him, and he’s already outstretching his arms to catch himself—
--and Yoongi is steadying him.
“Jiminie.” He says, and there’s something in his voice that makes Jimin pause. He holds his breath. The moment feels precious, like if he even breathes he’ll break it. Yoongi’s eyes are sharp—he’s staring into Jimin’s eyes so intensely Jimin is afraid of what he’ll find, afraid that Yoongi won’t like what he sees.
“Hi.” Jimin says stupidly. He swallows past the lump in his throat.
And then Yoongi is leaning in, and he’s kissing Jimin.
The angle is terrible. Half of Jimin’s mouth isn’t even touching Yoongi, because their angle was so bad that the kiss is offset, but he doesn’t care. Jimin doesn’t care; half of his lips touching Yoongi’s lips is heaven, and he decides that he’s lived every experience he could have ever needed and that he can die happily now.
Yoongi adjusts so that his entire mouth is on Jimin’s, his lips completely touching Jimin, and Jimin is gone.
He’s heard all the stories of kisses being special. He’s heard people talk about sparks flying, and earths shattering, and heavens opening up, and he’s always scoffed at them. Kissing has always been nice, sure, but never anything life changing. At best, kissing was a pleasant sensation that he wanted to continue because the stimulation felt good. Jimin thinks he’s starting to understand the expressions, though. The knot in his stomach had unraveled the minute Yoongi had changed the angle, and Jimin could accurately say he was on cloud nine. Or maybe he’d ascended to cloud ten, or even eleven. He even felt a little bit of a jolt in his lips—was that the spark? The beginning of the cracks in the earth?
He can’t dwell on it—can’t analyze the possible-spark because Yoongi’s lips are moving, and oh.
Oh.
This is a kiss-kiss.
Well. Jimin isn’t going to object. This is the part of kissing that he’s familiar with—the insistence, the deepening into more than a casual peck. He releases the tension in his body and leans into Yoongi entirely. On autopilot, his hands, which had previously been outstretched to catch himself from falling are now grasping the edge of Yoongi’s jacket and pulling him closer. Jimin tilts his head, adjusting, and it’s even better. Now, Yoongi has access to more than just the front of lips, and damn if his hyung doesn’t take advantage of that.
Before he’s even fully aware of it, Jimin finds himself locked in what is quickly becoming a heated make-out session with Yoongi. His lip has found itself the subject of Yoongi’s tongue’s attention and he is absolutely-not complaining, no sir. In fact, Jimin is so happy by this change of events he’s propping himself up on his knees and bringing himself even closer to Yoongi, moving his hands so that he’s curling his fingers on the back of his hyung’s neck and taking more. It feels so good, so natural and right and electric, that Jimin is experiencing a new kind of intoxication from Yoongi’s lips.
Yoongi drops his mouth open just slightly, and he tastes like alcohol and something else Jimin can’t identify but he thinks it’s mint. He chases the taste, tries to identify it by deepening the kiss even more, taking more more more from Yoongi until he can’t breathe and he has to pull away, panting.
It’s only when he’s opening his eyes again and catching his breath that he realizes he’s all but sat himself in Yoongi’s lap. He hadn’t even noticed he’d moved aside from his initial shuffle for comfort, but this position was something he could enjoy. He hears the catcalls from around the circle; Jimin’s cheeks heat up in response. He combs his hair back his with fingers, embarrassed.
“Get some!” Someone says.
“That was hot.” Someone else jeers.
Jimin is slowly growing more mortified. He covers his face with his hands to avoid looking at Yoongi. He doesn’t want to see his hyung’s disgusted face when he realizes what he did, and who he did it with. He slides away from Yoongi, fully ready to run away and never show his face again.
Before he even get’s the change to vaguely plan his escape from this anxiety-inducing situation, he’s being pulled to his feet by a large, familiar hand. It’s wrapped entirely around his forearm, somehow, which floors Jimin because as slight as he is, he’s not that small. Jimin stumbles, drops his hands from his face, and is forced to look at Yoongi. Yoongi is staring at him intensely, expression unreadable. Jimin licks his lips nervously; he doesn’t miss the way Yoongi’s eyes zero in on the action.
“Get it!”
Yoongi takes it to heart. He’s up on his feet unfairly steady considering how much he’d been stumbling not long ago, and he’s pulling Jimin out of the basement. He’s ridiculously aware of the catcalls that follow his retreat, and the whistles and jeers. He hears his name tossed around but before he can hear it well, he’s back in the loud music from upstairs and Yoongi is maneuvering them both through the thick line of drunk college students.
Jimin follows blindly, the hand Yoongi isn’t holding as he leads coming up to touch his lips like a lovestruck teen in a coming of age movie.
This is what he’s been reduced to, he internally laments. Park Jimin has pined for Yoongi so hard he’s been reduced to holding his lips like a lead in a drama. His lips feel like they’re tingling, and he can’t tell if that’s a sign of accidentally biting them, or the kiss.
Jimin thinks he’s more drunk than he thought because he doesn’t realize what Yoongi is leading him to until he’s being pulled sharply into a brightly lit bathroom.
He blinks at the sudden lighting—it had been dark in the living area, with flashing lights from the sound system the only light source. It’s almost painful to force his eyes to adjust to the sudden fluorescence.
“What—” Jimin starts, and stops promptly because once again, Yoongi is kissing him.
(If this is how he’s going to be shut up every time he talks, Jimin is going to have to start talking all the time.)
It’s different this time. There’s no hesitance to his actions, no awkward angles. Jimin and Yoongi are the same height, so there’s no height adjustments that need to be made. Yoongi just kisses Jimin, hot and urgent and demanding. Yoongi is trying to take just as much as Jimin is trying to give. He’s pressing himself right up against Jimin, pushing the younger back until he feels the edge of something hard and solid pressing against his lower back. The edge of something he can’t see because all he can see is Yoongi Yoongi Yoongi. His senses are all Yoongi: the smell of sweat and the cologne he uses when he goes out, the softness of his lips and the soft lines of his body pressing onto him, the taste of his tongue, the sound of his harsh breathing as he pulls back to breath and kisses back just as quickly. Yoongi’s hands rest on Jimin’s hips, pull his body close with a firm jerk.
Jimin feels wanted. He feels desired. He feels good. He feels like if Yoongi doesn’t stop kissing him like that, Drunk Jimin is going to get down on his fucking knees and put his mouth to another use for Yoongi until his hyung is spilling filthy sounds from his mouth. Jimin wonders what Yoongi would sound like when he comes. He wonders if it’s a sound as addicting as Yoongi’s slurred drawl when he’s relaxed and talking about what he loves.
Time is hard to keep track of. Has it been minutes? Hours? Jimin doesn’t know. He doesn’t care. He just cares about the rising heat in the cramped bathroom, and the pain-pleasure of being pressed so tight to the maybe-counter. It’s too hot.
Jimin shrugs off the jacket he brought with difficulty, tossing it to the ground carelessly and returning his hands to Yoongi’s body. He’s getting bolder, trailing his touches underneath the older’s shirt, and Yoongi shudders.
He shudders, stops his kissing momentarily, and Jimin jolts when Yoongi’s hands slip back to his ass.
“Fuck.” Yoongi rasps, low, wrecked, so impossibly hot it’s not fair that he sounds so good.
Fuck. Jimin agrees.
He does an experimental roll of his hips up against Yoongi with a whine, and Yoongi just moans and squeezes his ass. Jimin does it again, and again, and each time Yoongi gets a little more aggressive with his kisses, his hands kneading his ass over and over and Jimin is letting out harsh little gasps.
“So fucking hot.” Yoongi murmurs, punctuating each word with a kiss and a light squeeze.
Sober Jimin better fucking remember this, he thinks furiously. If he doesn’t remember that fucking sound for the next ten years, Jimin is going to request a memory implant. The things he was feeling—
Fuck.
Yoongi pulls away abruptly, panting. Jimin opens his eyes, breathing just as heavily. They lock eyes, swallow, and all is still.
Distantly, Drunk Jimin hopes Sober Yoongi doesn’t regret this.
Yoongi’s signature gummy smile immediately quells that fear. The anxiety is shut down and replaced with worth now that he’s wanted so earnestly.
“We just made out.” Yoongi says casually.
Jimin loses it. He’s giggling so hard he’s squeaking, dropping his head onto Yoongi’s shoulder, which is also shaking with laughter. “We did.”
Yoongi is still laughing when he puts his arms around Jimin, who, for his part, has set his hands back on the confirmed-counter and sat himself on top of it. He stretches his legs out in front of him and links his ankles behind Yoongi to pull him closer—Yoongi’s hands settle on his thighs in between Jimin’s legs. (They’re so big they almost wrap around his entire leg. Jimin swallows at the images that come to his head at that. Maybe he has a hand kink, after all.)
“You’re hot.” Yoongi tells him, pecking his lips.
Jimin giggles. He doesn’t know if it’s the alcohol making the air feel brighter than before, or if he’s just dizzy from not breathing enough, but everything feels right and fuzzy—like he’s living in a cloud. Maybe it’s the fondness he swears he sees in Yoongi’s eyes and hears in Yoongi’s tone that stops any anxieties in its tracks, but he frankly doesn’t care.
That’s a problem for Sober Jimin. Sober Jimin can confess to Yoongi when they’re both sober. Drunk Jimin just giggles through his swollen lips, the taste of Yoongi’s tongue in his mouth, and lets himself play with Yoongi’s hair as Yoongi’s thumbs rub lightly at his thighs.
They’re going to have to talk, obviously.
Sober Jimin can deal with that.
Drunk Jimin is on cloud fucking nine. He can’t be bothered—Yoongi pulls him back in for a kiss, softer and gentler than before and life seems like it’s going to look up for Sober Jimin.
Like feels pretty fucking good with each whisper of Jimin’s name from Yoongi’s lips.

Now tell me wtf you meant by “you kissed jimin”
Was it a peck
Was it a dare
Yoongles:
Kind of
It was spin the bottle
But then we made out in the bathroom
Jin-hyung
His fucking MOUTH
HIS A S S
Jin:
Nonononono
I don’t wanna hear this about my child
Yoongles:
Hyung please ☹
Jin:
No
Yoongles:
☹
Jin:
…FINE
Tell me about your kiss with Jimin, yoongi
Yoongles:
HIS FUCKING MOUTH HYUNG
W O W
BOY KNOWS HOW TO KISSSSSS
Like wow I knew he was good at what he did from what I heard right but
Wow
Wowowowowow
We were making out for so long I lost track of time and my head was all fuzzy but hoo boy that mouth
I know what that mouth do and I am a fan
I wonder what else that mouth do *side smirk*
Jin:
Are you done?
Yoongles:
Not even close
He makes these sounds when he’s being kissed that like
Oomf
Omf I want to hear them more
He’s so cute he kept pulling away and blinking at me like he didn’t believe what was happening and I was fucking messy drunk alright you can’t blame me so I just kept kissing him so he wouldn’t overthink shit
And I may have been groping that ass
Because I’m human
And FUCK he felt fucking great when he got all desperate to get off
wow kissing jimin felt good
Felt very good
I wanna do that a lot
Maybe more
Jin:
You’re sexualizing our friends again, yoongi
Yoongles:
He’s hot, hyung
I’m only human
Jin:
Do you even like jimin?
Yoongles:
Yes
wait
Like…romantically?
Jin:
Yes, yoongi
Romantically
Do you like him or do you just want to sleep with him?
Yoongles:
I don’t know
I like jimin, hyung
I want to spend time with him even if we don’t fuck but I mean
I wouldn’t mind fwb
Jin:
But do you want to date him?
Yoongles:
I don’t know?
I’ve never really thought about it
And wow I sound like an asshole saying that fuck
I’ve honestly never thought about it though. We have a good dynamic as friends, and I’m definitely attracted to him
I don’t know though. I mean…there’s times where I think I like him and I can see us trying something and like
Being more than friends
And it makes me happy cuz we would work together really well???
But I don’t know if it’s romantic or if I’m lonely and just like
Wanting someone to stop being lonely
How do I know if its romantic…?
Jin:
Yoongi.
I’m going to say this as nicely as I can:
You need to figure out if you have feelings for the boy before you suggest any kind of fwb shit when you talk to him.
I know Jimin likes sex and all, but he has feelings too.
Yoongles:
…you think he likes me
Jin:
I think there’s a possibility that he does
He wouldn’t have made out with you if he didn’t feel some kind of attraction
Yoongles:
Maybe it’s physical?
Jin:
You are a very lovable person
It could be romantic attraction
Yoongles:
…I’ll think about it hyung
But I don’t know
I really don’t know
I haven’t dated in forever
I don’t even remember what a crush feels like
Jin:
That’s fine
But you should be careful with jimin, okay
Just because it’s only physical for you doesn’t mean it’ll be like that for him
Yoongles:
…okay
I don’t think he’d like me though
We’re not close enough for him to like me
I mean we’re better but he’s still holding back a lot and I get it but
He has so many other options he can take, too
I really don’t think he would but yeah
You’re right
I need to think
I gtg
I’m going on a walk
Jin:
With Jimin again?
Yoongles:
No
Alone
I need to think about this whole thing
I told him we would talk when we’re sober
But I don’t even know what to say anymore
I don’t know what he wants from me
I don’t know if i can give him what he wants
Idk idk idk
I need to think about everything
My head hurts
Jin:
Okay yoongi
Take your time
I’m here for you if you need to talk, okay? <3

Jiminie:

Good morning hyung!
Do you want to have lunch today? I have a large gap today since my class ended early
11:02AM THURSDAY 29 MARCH
Jiminie:
Hyung?
You didn’t come to class again…are you okay?
Yoonie:
Yeah
Sleeping
Jiminie:
Oh
Okay, sorry 😅
Let me know if I can get you something, okay? <3
12:11PM FRIDAY 30 MARCH
Jiminie:
Yoongi-hyung
There’s a new deadline for our project
Can I come over so we can talk about it?
Yoonie:
I’m not home
Later though
Jiminie:
Okay hyung
Just let me know when a good time is
3:01PM SATURDAY 31 MARCH
Jiminie:
Okay I’m probably being really invasive right now, and feel free to tell me to fuck off, but are you okay? I haven’t seen you all week and neither have the hyungs. I’m worried ☹ You don’t have to talk about anything but I know you don’t like to be alone when you’re upset so I’m on my way to bring you coffee. I’m here for you <3
Yoonie:
Don’t come over.
Jiminie:
???
Are you not home?
Yoonie:
No. I just want to be alone right now Jimin. I don’t want to fucking pretend to be okay for you
Can you just leave me alone? I’m ready to snap and I’m not nice when I snap, okay?
I’m fucking mean and I’ll make you cry and I don’t want to deal with you crying right now on top of my shit.
I can’t do this shit today, I’m sorry.
Jiminie:
Hyung, you don’t have to pretend to be okay! You can be upset. I just want to be there for you. You hate being alone
I can handle a little meanness, okay? I promise
Yoonie:
I don’t need your fucking pity, Jimin.
I’ll be fine. I don’t want you here
Jiminie:
I don’t pity you
Please don’t push me away
You hate being alone
Yoonie:
Don’t act like you know me.
You literally push every fucking person away except for me
You can’t say shit about this
I’m fucking tired, okay jimin
I’m stressed out and I can’t deal with you too right now
Jiminie:
I’m trying to be more open
You know that
Yoonie:
Point is you push people away more than I do
Quit butting into my business if you aren’t willing to open up either
Jiminie:
I’m sorry.
You’re right, sorry. I crossed the line. I didn’t mean to
I’ll leave you alone
Yoonie:
Can you stop agreeing with everything I say?
You can’t just agree with everything people say so they like you
I’m not going to like you just because you agree with me on every single thing
That’s not how you get people to stick around
It’s really fucking annoying actually being friends with a people pleaser
Jiminie:
Sorry
I gtg
Dance
Yoonie:
Bye.

[“Jimin Defense Squad”]
Hoebi:
Yo
I have a bone to pick with yoongi
Where’s he at
Chim:
He’s in his dorm, I think
I think he’s having a bad day
Can you check on him when you get home hobi-hyung? He doesn’t seem okay
At least get him something to eat?
Hoebi:
Yeah chim of course
I’m on my way back now
Sleepy boi:
Jfc can you not?
Hoebi:
Hyung! Are you okay?
Sleepy boi:
I’m fucking fine.
Jimin what the fuck
Chim:
…I’m sorry?
Sleepy boi:
Sure
You said that already
And then you come here and spread my business
What the fuck.
Chim:
Hyung, you always tell us when you’re upset…
Sleepy boi:
Maybe this time I didn’t want people to know?
Maybe I didn’t want to be fucking coddled and treated like a goddamn time bomb?
Did you think about that?
No. you didn’t.
You never fucking think about the consequences of your actions.
Dad joke:
Yoongi, what the fuck?
What’s going on?
Nochu:
Woah what’s happening?
Hyung?
Taebi:
That’s uncalled for yoongi what the fuck
Sleepy boi:
No it’s totally fucking called for.
He doesn’t get to speak for me
Just because we fucked around doesn’t mean we’re shit, right jimin?
It never fucking means anything for you, so this isn’t any different.
I’m not any fucking different for you
Taebi:
Woah woah what’s going on? What do you mean?
Jimin?
What does he mean?
What is yoongi implying?
Chim:
Nothing
It’s nothing taetae I promise
Sleepy boi:
Yeah
It’s nothing
It’s always nothing to you.
You can’t take anything fucking serious when it comes to yourself
Chim:
Hyung, please stop
I know you’re lashing out but you’re really being mean right now
Sleepy boi:
How about you stop?
You’re constantly going on about how you feel lonely and how people talk about you and I’ve tried being supportive Jimin but jesus.
You don’t open up to people. You don’t say shit about anything and then expect things to get better by not DOING ANYTHING and I’m fucking tired of it. The only significant things I know about you you’ve told me when you’re drunk or so emotionally compromised you might as well have drank yourself unconscious. I have my own shit going on and I don’t need your fucking pity kiss on top of it
You can’t expect people not to talk shit about you when you’re going around doing the exact things they’re saying and fueling the flames
Nochu:
Does anyone understand what’s happening?
Dad joke:
Jungkook shut the fuck up
Yoongi, what are you saying?
Sleepy boi:
I’m saying I’m not going to be another one of Jimin’s pity fucks.
Nochu:
I-
Chim:
It wasn’t like that
Hyung, please just talk to me. I promise it wasn’t like that
I think we miscommunicated somewhere I’m sorry I promise it wasn’t like that hyung you have to believe me
Can we talk?
Sleepy boi:
It was exactly like that.
I’m not going to like you because you slept with me, Jimin.
I like people who can fucking commit to something
And who trust me
But you can’t even commit to your own personality and opinions. Do you even know who you are when you aren’t trying to please someone?
Chim:
Please stop.
Can we just talk? I really think we need to talk
Sleepy boi:
No.
YOU don’t talk.
You never fucking talk.
Your “talk” is finding someone to distract you for the night so you don’t have to think. You have a fucking problem, Jimin, even if you won’t admit it. At least I fucking know I’m fucked up.
At least I don’t have to sleep with anyone to feel wanted. But hey, it means nothing to you so go get the attention you want and leave me the fuck out of it.
Chim:
Fuck you.

Jin hyung
Sorry if I’m bothering you but can you make sure yoongi hyung is okay?
Jin:
He’s fine, jimin
What happened?
Why is he upset?
Jimin:
I don’t know what I did
I thought he was just having a bad day but he’s upset with me
I thought we were okay?
Jin:
Maybe you should think about what you’ve done to upset yoongi before you see him again
Jimin:
...but he was mean too
Hyung
He was really hurtful
You saw what he was saying
Jin:
I know Jimin
He was lashing out because he was hurt
Jimin:
…yeah
[Private Chat: “minimoni”]
Mini:
Namjoon-hyung
Can I ask you a question?
Moni:
Yeah
Mini:
Um
I think I upset yoongi on accident and I don’t know how to talk to him to make it better
Moni:
What did you do?
Mini:
I don’t know
I really don’t hyung
You’re a genius though and you’re yoongi’s bestfriend
Moni:
I don’t know what you want me to do jimin
I can’t fix this for you
You need to own up to your mistakes before anything
read 8:26pm

I don’t know what the hell happened between you and yoongi-hyung
But he’s really upset
Like really fucking upset.
You need to apologize.
And fix it.

minnie:
Hobi hyung
I know yoongi is really upset with me and that’s why he was really mean
And I want to apologize but
Do you know what I did wrong? I don’t know what I did
Hobi:
I don’t know jimin
But he’s really upset
He’s locked in his room
What did you do that made him so upset?
Minnie:
I don’t know
I thought things were going okay
I don’t understand what changed
I’m sorry though
I didn’t want to drag you guys into this
Hobi:
Just apologize min
Make things right
I don’t like this tension with the group
Minnie:

I’m sorry
8:55PM SATURDAY 31 MARCH
[Private Chat: “soulmates r’us”]
Mochimin:
Taehyungie
Can you talk to me please
I tried asking the hyungs what I should do with yoongi
And they all told me to apologize which I’m going to do because I know I upset yoongi
But
But he upset me too taehyungie!
You saw what he said in the groupchat
And I know I’m a lot of things but I don’t think I deserve that
No. I know I don’t deserve that.
Yoongi’s my friend, and just because he’s my friend doesn’t mean he can say thing like that
I’m going to apologize for whatever I did to hurt him but I’m really hurt by what he said and I don’t think the hyungs know that
Taetae ☹
I thought things were going really well with me and yoongi
Taetae what am I supposed to do?
Taehyungie:
Min…
Please don’t be upset but I think the hyungs are right
You need to apologize first for what you did
Mochimin:
But
But I didn’t actually do anything
I didn’t.
He was pushing me away and I tried asking what was wrong and he lashed out and
Taetae I wasn’t trying to hurt him
I was just trying to talk to him about something important
But he was being really spiteful and I’m really hurt by that
I was just trying to help
He always lets me help
Taehyungie:
I’m sorry minie ☹ The stuff he said was mean but
I mean
You do shut us out…
I love you I really do and everyone does what they want with their body Jimin
I would never shame you for that
But Yoongi isn’t like you…
He doesn’t do ‘no strings attached’
He’s my friend too and I want to support both of you but he’s not someone you can just hook up with. He’s sensitive, and the kiss may have meant nothing to you but it probably meant everything to him. He deserves better than to be just a hook up…
Mochimin:
You think I was using yoongi?
Taehyungie:
No! No I don’t think that at all. I just think that maybe you should have waited before kissing him…you know, to be sure you want to be committed to him. Maybe waited until you were both sober so you know what you’re doing
I know you like him Minnie but yoongi doesn’t know that
And you haven’t really done anything to prove to him that you like him and you’re under no obligation to obviously but if you look at it from his perspective it’s kind of…yeah…
You kind of have a reputation…and I know it’s exaggerated but…Idk Minnie I’m on your side too but things don’t look good objectively
And okay yeah hyung shouldn’t have been so mean about it but I mean
He lashes out when he’s hurt and he’s probably going to feel really bad about it as soon as he’s okay
Just give him time, okay? <3 talk to him when he’s calmed down and apologize
Mochimin:
Tae
Taehyungie:
I promise it’ll work out <3
You guys are friends and hyung is just upset
He’ll realize you didn’t mean anything bad and he’ll apologize for being so hurtful
Now I got to go
I’m buying some icecream for hyung
I’ll tell him you didn’t mean to hurt him, okay?
Chin up <3
Mochimin:
…Don’t bother.
Just make sure he’s okay, I guess.
Taehyungie:
I will <3
Love you my soulmate <3
Once you apologize it’ll be okay <3

10:11AM FRIDAY 6 APRIL
[“Serious Business”]
Nochu:
How’s yoongi hyung?
He hasn’t answered my texts all week
I’m worried about him
Hoebi:
He’s fine
I think
He’s been in his room all week
I’ve only seen him come out for food and to use the bathroom
Dad joke:
Have you tried talking to him to see what happened?
Hoebi:
Yeah
He just snaps at me
I asked him once if everything was okay with him and Jimin and he told me to fuck off
I think he was really hurt
Taebi:
But what happened?
Hoebi:
Didn’t jimin tell you?
Taebi:
No
☹
He’s been like
Distant with me too…
Nochu:
He wouldn’t tell you probably
Probably ashamed of what he did
Dad joke:
We don’t even know what happened, Jungkook
Stop making assumptions
Nochu:
Yoongi-hyung clearly fucking said in the chat that jimin did something
We just don’t know what
Yoongi wouldn’t just snap like that for no reason at jimin
There had to have been something
Joonie:
Kook
We don’t know anything that happened between them
Only jimin and yoongi know
Nochu:
I know that jimin hurt my hyung
And that’s not okay
And you know what
I fucking told yall that this would happen
I TOLD YOU that Jimin would end up hurting yoongi and we’d be the ones helping him out
Dad joke:
We don’t know what happened.
Friends fight all the time
I know I want to punt your fucking ass into the moon at least three times a day
Nochu:
It’s different
Yoongi-hyung doesn’t like confrontations. This was a huge fucking confrontation. Something happened
Taebi:
Neither does chim
And I agree with namjoon-hyung
We don’t know anything that happened
We’d have to ask them what happened
Hoebi:
Yeahhhhh that’s gonna be a no from yoongi
He’s not up to talking at all
I just tried bringing him noodles and he slammed the door in my face
Which spilled hot noodles all over myself
If I didn’t love him so much I would go in there and punch him to get his shit together
Taebi:
Well I’ll ask chim?
Nochu:
He won’t tell you
Taebi:
I’ll ask anyways.
Yoongi won’t tell us, obviously
Hoebi:
I’d steer clear of the apartment for a while, you guys
He’s like
Really upset
I can hear things being thrown in there
Joonie:
Oh
Oh he’s mad mad
Um
Fuck I wish we could do something
Hoebi:
I’ve tried
And jin tried too, yesterday
Dad joke:
He fucking threw a glass of water at me when I went into the room and told me my ego needs to calm down before I get more annoying than endearing
Taebi:
Hyung
I’m so sorry
Your ego is perfect okay there’s nothing wrong with being self confident
Dad joke:
I’m not upset about it
I know Yoongi is just pissed because his own self esteem isn’t as secure
But he’s not being nice right now
Hoebi:
Yeah we kinda saw how pissy he was with chim
Is he okay btw?
Nochu:
He’s fine
He’s out partying
Probably doesn’t even care
Taebi:
he seemed upset when he texted me but he hasn’t said anything about it since then
I think he’s okay though cuz yeah he’s been out having fun 😅
I’ll check in with him soon
Joonie:
Think you could find out what happened?
Taebi:
I can try!!!
Soulmates have no secrets!!
He even told me about his crush on yoongi, remember?
Nochu:
Yeahhhhh
Sucks he had to mess that up ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Dad joke:
Okay look
I get that you’re anxious because of the situation but you need to tone down the attitude
We don’t know what the fuck happened
And until we know we’re going to fucking support yoongi until he’s better and go from there
Calm tf down
Nochu:
I know what went down
And honestly you do too
You’re just denying it cuz you don’t want to believe that jimin could do something shitty
But he’s human too
And maybe this time he hurt hyung by accident
But the result is still the same and as much as I care about jimin I care about yoongi more
And yoongi is hurtin
And he won’t fucking let me help him
So excuse me for being a little fucking upset and snippy about the fact that someone I trust hurt my fucking family.
Hyung.
Joonie:
Jungkook.
Nochu:
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I said what I said
And I fucking meant it
Jimin better have a really good fucking reason for this entire situation because yoongi hasn’t been this bad in a while and I’m not happy until my hyung is
Taebi:
☹
Hoebi:
Update
Yoongi just snapped that he can’t think with my music so
I’m dipping out before he gets even more pissy with his comments
I tried yall but he’s getting mean mean the longer I try to talk to him
He’s bad right now
Dad joke:
Come to my apartment
Joon should be back soon with takeout
Hoebi:
Thanks hyung
But yeah
I think yoongi is really not okay right now

Notes:
Double Update today!! To make up for how slow this slow burn really is :')
A WARNING: This chapter has some heavy mentions of self destructive tendencies. There's a lot of self deprecation here and if it becomes triggering, your health is more important than a fic. There's also a BRIEF mention of s*icide here, but it's not going to happen. There will be no attempts in this fic. I wanted to give the warning, however, just in case you're sensitive to this. <3

The fucking marks on your neck prove that
What about yoongi?
What happened to not sleeping around?

Yoongi doesn’t like me

It’s easy to stop caring. Falling back into old habits is like surrounding himself in a well-fitted skin—one that reeks of smoke and sweat. It’s a skin made from iron indifference—what people say about his new recklessness recoils off the surface like it doesn’t matter. Grabby hands find well molded grooves in his hips he ignores and brushes off. Jimin’s new careless skin doesn’t fear being alone, being used, being hurt. It feels nothing.
Jimin tries to feel nothing about the things he’s doing. Tries not to let the loneliness penetrate his skin past the hands taking taking taking from him. He tries to forget how hard it is to breath when he lays alone in his bed at night, clutching his dead phone in his hands. He doesn’t plug it in unless he absolutely has too.
(Jihyun must be freaking out by now—Jimin hasn’t texted his brother since he had decided to cut off all his contacts. He can’t find it in him to care.)
Jimin tries for an apathetic approach when he remembers Yoongi’s words to him—the hatred in them. He doesn’t care. A lot of people hate him and everything he stands for. He doesn’t care.
Jimin doesn’t care.
He comes back to his dorm at 3am most nights covered in sweat and bruises that Jaegyu scrunches his nose at in the morning. The constant vibrating from Jaegyu’s phone those mornings a reminder that Jimin is alone in the world right now and that Jaegyu—as much of an asshole as he is—still has his friends. By now, he has a routine down to stop the anxiety creeping and choking him.
In the morning, Jimin wakes up with anxious tremors and a tightness in his chest he forces away with a cigarette. When his lungs filter oxygen through the smoke he’s gulping down, and he doesn’t feel like the wrong word will make the pressure snap and the dam break, he changes into the first things his fingers touch and ghosts through his classes. Tuedays and Thursdays, he skips class. It isn’t because of Yoongi, he tells himself vehemently. Jimin isn’t scared to face him. He isn’t. He just doesn’t feel like going to class and being forced to speak and participate.
It has nothing to do with Yoongi.
Because, really, who cares if Yoongi hates him? So what if Yoongi agreed with the rumors of Jimin being easy—a slut.
Jimin doesn’t fucking need Yoongi. He’s doing just fine on his own. He doesn’t fucking need anyone. He’s always been fine on his own—it’s no different now.
At night, Jimin’s routine includes midnight strolls through campus. Sunday night after the Groupchat Incident, Jimin attends a frat party and takes the midnight walk of shame back to his dorm with more shame than he’s ever felt.
Tonight, the routine is interrupted when none other than Kim Muyeol quite literally crashes into Jimin in the campus square—neither men paying attention to their surroundings. Jimin has seen his previous hook-up around campus, of course, and then once at the McDonald’s with Taehyung. He tries not to give Muyeol any attention when he sees him though, determined not to encourage the other into thinking Jimin wants anything to do with him. Muyeol liked sex on the rougher side and as much as Jimin likes pain, even he has a limit to what he’s comfortable with. Muyeol liked to think Jimin liked being pushed past his limits—Jimin liked to think he had made it crystal fucking clear that he didn’t like his boundaries pushed (admittedly, Jimin didn’t have that many boundaries to begin with, but that was another reason he was entirely miffed that Muyeol didn’t get the hint and fuck off.)
He’s not fast enough in averting his eyes tonight. Jimin may hate himself, but it takes a whole new level of self-hatred to even consider going back to Muyeol.
“Jimin!” chirps Muyeol, skidding to a stop directly in his path. “I thought it was you!”
“Hi.” Jimin says tightly, shoving his hands into his pockets. They’re shaking again—he wants this conversation to be over so he can leave and smoke something to calm him the fuck down. He hates anxiety attacks. Hates that he doesn’t know how to cope with them like he’s supposed to.
“What are you doing out so late? Alone? Are you waiting for someone?” Muyeol winks. “Or is it another walk of shame?”
Oh, he’s definitely ashamed, and he sure is walking, Jimin thinks sardonically to himself. What he says is, “I’m just enjoying the night air.”
It’s a lie, and they both know it. The night air is freezing, cutting into his flushed cheek harshly. Midnight in early April is nothing pleasant—the thin hoodie that he’s wearing does nothing to counter the cold. He hadn’t warn anything warmer though. Warmth was for people who deserved it.
“I see.” Muyeol nods. He shuffles his feet, then sits on the bench right next to where Jimin stands. He pats the wooden seat invitationally.
Jimin makes a face. He knows that Muyeol can see the irritation lining his features—he also knows how good Muyeol is at ignoring what he doesn’t want to see. Always the willfully oblivious asshole, Jimin mocks. Apparently, it’s the type he attracts.
“I’m not going to sleep with you again.” Jimin says. A part of his heart hurts—isn’t that all he’s going to be good for? “Leave me alone.” In his head, Yoongi’s voice is echoing the words.
Muyeol has the decency to look sheepish. “I wasn’t going to ask that.”
“You always ask that. I’m saying no, again. Leave me alone.”
“You don’t look okay, Jimin.”
Jimin considers this. Muyeol isn’t wrong; Jimin looks like shit. He hasn’t brushed his hair since the Incident, and he’s wearing a dirty hoodie he grabbed at random from the floor of the frat party he fled from on Sunday—there’s stains on it now that he’s convinced are either semen or vomit. From the vague recollections of that night, Jimin concludes that it’s probably both. It’s Wednesday now, so the stains are long past dry and crusty and disgusting. He doesn’t even know if his jeans are clean, or when the last time he did his skin care was, or when he last had something people consider real food. He’s sure that with the way he’s hunched in on himself he must be quite a sight, too—If the sun were even out, Jimin knows that the darkness of his dark circles would be a cause for concern, as well as the resigned expression he lugged around.
He hasn’t covered anything with makeup like he usually does—he doesn’t care. Can’t be bothered to pretend to have his shit together when nobody will believe it anyways.
“I’m not okay.” Jimin says simply. “Go away Muyeol. I can’t deal with you right now.”
Yoongi’s voice is rattling around again; Jimin aches at the words. He aches, and his breathing is stuck in his throat, and he pushes himself away from the bench and Muyeol, because if he stays there he’s going to think and he doesn’t want to. He’s trying so, so hard not to think about anything, especially about how fucked up he had to be to make the nicest person in his friend group hate him and believe him capable of using someone for sex. Jimin can’t think about it. He won’t.
He doesn’t care. Jimin doesn’t care if Yoongi hates him. He doesn’t care that his friends hate him. Jimin doesn’t care about anything. He never does.
Jimin needs a distraction.
Just like he always does.
There’s an electric current of tension and anger running just under his skin, and Yoongi absolutely fucking hates it. He hates the tightness he feels under his skin, the tightness in his ribs and fingers which itch to be doing something, anything, to feel better. He hates that no matter what he tries to burn off energy, it isn’t enough. He hates that he needs to create, but everything he makes is useless. He htes that instead of being sad, he is angry.
Yoongi is angry. Yoongi is spiteful. Yoongi is smart. He’s smart, and spiteful, and angry and he can read people as easy as an open book and is quick to pick up on insecurities. He knows things about people they sometimes don’t consciously know about themselves, knows which buttons to press and which threads he needs to pull to make someone hurt. Yoongi knows that his words hold weight. He hates knowing these things, hates that he’s smart, and spiteful, and angry, because it’s the worst possible combination to give someone going through a depressive spiral. He shouldn’t have this much power when all he wants to do is hurt.
He’s not stupid—he knows he crossed several lines that he shouldn’t have even gone near to the last time he had talked to his friends. The things he says when he’s spiraling aren’t okay. They aren’t forgivable. It isn’t okay to take out your emotions on your friends. It’s not okay to throw their insecurities back in their face. No matter how understanding his friends are about when he self-destructs, Yoongi still made a huge mistake.
Yoongi fucked up. It wasn’t okay to slut shame Jimin.
And it makes him angry. It infuriates Yoongi that he was supposed to be the last person to ever hurt Jimin—he’s been telling Jimin over and over that what he does or doesn’t do shouldn’t matter. Then he’d gone ahead and opened his destructive mouth and crushed what little acceptance he had probably instilled in Jimin. Yoongi hates himself. Yoongi is mad.
He’s mad because he’s depressed. Yoongi is mad that when he’s depressed he can’t control the part of his brain that tells him to hurt people so he’s not the only one in pain, and that he can’t fucking control himself or his actions. He’s so beyond livid that he can’t just be sad when he’s spiraling—no, Yoongi is the kind of explosive depression that wants to drag everyone down with him.
He’s always been like this. When his brain chemistry had decided to skip the serotonin, it had apparently amped up the aggression in compensation. Instead of feeling sad and crying, or feeling empty and dissociating, Yoongi felt agitated and restless. He was a charged wire without the safety protective layering, ready to burn whoever touched him. His senses were always heightened tenfold so that even the smallest breeze against his arm felt like a knife grating against his skin. The smallest sound was amped up millions of decibels along his eardrum—Yoongi swears he can feel the blood moving under his skin. When he spirals, it always feels like he’s been going through his life with a muffle over his senses, and the muffle has suddenly been ripped from him. He wants to distract himself, but the only thing that stops the sensations is overpowering one of them—so he hurts things. He used to sneak out and punch an alley near his home when he was upset, and the pain from his knuckles being busted open was enough to calm him down. He’d gotten infected one too many times and had to stop, and his anger had only gotten worse and harder to manage after that.
And there was so much to be angry about!
He’s mad for hurting Jimin. Mad that Jimin didn’t shut up and leave him the fuck alone when he’s clearly warned him that he was an asshole. (He’s mad that he had to open his big mouth and say what he said so cruelly—even if Jimin had a problem, it wasn’t Yoongi’s place to say anything so bluntly.) He’s mad for blaming Jimin for his own asshole actions. He’s mad that his friends don’t ever call him out. He’s mad that they coddle him. He’s mad that he doesn’t appreciate his friends and how forgiving they are, because logically Yoongi knows that had it been anyone else, Yoongi would be alone from one too many hurtful outbursts. He's mad that Jin didn't stop him from taking that stupid walk, because Yoongi had spent the entire time overthinking. Jin should've kept quiet, Yoongi seethes, because him opening his mouth had only made Yoongi think of every single way he could fuck up with Park Jimin. He's mad that he could count twenty different ways everything in his life could go wrong, but couldn't come up with one single scenerio of if things went right. He'd thought himself down a depressive spiral, and then he'd lashed out in his anger, and fucked up again.
Yoongi is mad. Every thought he has is tainted with the anger. His jaw is clenched so tight he’s starting to feel soreness all along it, but he can’t be bothered to release the tension because all he wants to do right now is either scream at the top of his lungs, set something on fire (preferably, himself), or hit something so hard his knuckles are bleeding and the tension can seep out that way.
He’s trying so fucking hard to figure out how to apologize, and it’s hard when all his friends keep treating him like he’s some kind of ticking time bomb.
Which, okay, fair. He is. He’s explosive. Jimin got caught in the crossfire.
(His friends have been victims of Yoongi’s explosive episodes before, of course, but this feels different. He’s never gone so far with them—never been so transparently cruel to them. Sure, he snapped at them. Insulted them and regret it when he came back to himself, but that was mean. That was mean, and this situation was cruel. This was Yoongi kicking a wounded animal that couldn’t defend itself, and then kicking it again just for shits and giggles and Yoongi is so, so ashamed of himself and afraid of himself. He can’t look into the mirror—he’d already shattered it, because he didn’t recognize the wild look in his eyes. He didn’t recognize the cruel son of a bitch in the mirror, so he’d broken it.)
Jimin shouldn’t have been a casualty of Yoongi’s inability to control his anger.
It isn’t okay.
Yoongi fucked up. He fucked up very badly, and he needs to come up with one hell of an apology to even begin to fix his mess, but he can’t even think through the red-tinted haze of anger right now. Even if he believed in what he said. He had fucked up the delivery.
So, he resolves to calm down before he makes this any worse.
Headphones on and fingers twitching to hit something, Yoongi sits on his bed and cries frustrated tears. He allows everything out in the safety of his self-imposed isolation where he can’t hurt anyone else. To apologize, he can’t be upset. He can’t be on the edge of lashing out when he sees Jimin, who he knows will give as good as he gets. Jimin has his own anger issues, Yoongi has seen firsthand. He’s seen how quick his normally sweet friend is to snap and lash out when he’s cornered and hurt—Jimin may not be as spiteful as Yoongi, but there was an anger in him, too.
Yoongi needs to calm the fuck down before he makes this damage worse. He’s turned his phone off by now, ashamed of his outburst in the group chat. He doesn’t answer when Hoseok tries to get him to talk through the locked bedroom door. Hoseok has never understood an uncontrollable anger—Hoseok has always had a tangible reason for his anger, and therefore, could find a solution. He means well, but he doesn’t know how to handle someone who is in no state to accept help. Yoongi sits on his bed, feels miserable, but resolves to apologize as soon as he’s okay.
Soon, he will be okay.
(Yoongi ignores the sinking feeling in his stomach that his relationship with Jimin won’t be okay after this.)

Nochu:
Just now duh
I was on my way back to my dorm
And I spied with my little eyes you and some guy chatting on a bench~
Who was it?? 👁️👄👁️
Taebi:
It’s too late for this shit
Chim:
Just some guy
It’s not a big deal
Nochu:
You suuuure?
Not a big deal like that’s your latest hook up or not a big deal like you really didn’t get some ass?
Chim:
It’s not a big deal as in butt out of my business Jungkook
Nochu:
I’m just trying to be supportive of your hoeing ☹
What? Was he a bad fuck?
Jiminnnnn we wanna know
[Private chat: “twosan”]
Jimin:
Jungkook, stop
Jungkookie:
Stop what?
Jimin:
What you’re trying to do in the groupchat.
I don’t want you to ‘hype up my hoeing’
I don’t like talking about them. You know that
It’s uncomfortable
Please stop
Jungkookie:
It’s not uncomfortable when you’re sleeping with them though?
Jimin:
Jungkook.
Jungkookie:
What? It’s true.
And honestly Jimin-hyung
You shouldn’t be ashamed of sleeping around
Lots of people would love to have such an active sex life
Jimin:
That’s enough, Jungkook. I get that you’re upset with me but I’m still your hyung. You need to act like it.
Jungkookie:
What, like you act with Yoongi-hyung?
Using him and throwing a fit when he doesn’t want to be another one of your flings?
Jimin:
When did I ever throw a fit?
You don’t know what happened.
Jungkookie:
I do know what happened though.
I know better than anyone. I know you think you like Yoongi and I know that you don’t actually like him. You just like that he treats you like an actual human and not just another hole to fuck, but you don’t actually like him. I know you probably feel pretty fucking mad that your plan to sleep with him and feel wanted didn’t fucking work, and I know that you’re probably going to do what you’ve always done and fill whatever void you have with more notches under your belt
Am I fucking wrong, Jimin-hyung?
I don’t fucking think I am.
Jimin:
You don’t know shit about me or what happened between me and Yoongi. You’re seeing what you want to see.
Jungkookie:
Whatever you say.
Just leave him alone
He doesn’t need you stringing him along.
He deserves better than someone who won’t ever commit to one person.
Sorry, but he’s not going to like you. He’s out of your league, and you know it
Jimin:
You know what?
I don’t fucking need this.
Are you sure you want to block “Jungkookie”?
Yes No

12:12AM MONDAY 9 APRIL
Fetus:
You didn’t do anything wrong, okay, hyung? They’re all just fucking selfish fucking assholes. You aren’t in the wrong. They’re just choosing not to see that they’re being self righteous bitches.
Cryptic bitch:
They’re good people. I have to have done something wrong. I just want to know what I did so I can fix it and make them stop hating me.
I always fuck up; I want to fix it.
I want to know what I did wrong
I thought Yoongi and I were okay ☹ We were going to talk
And we didn’t
And I don’t know what I did wrong but I thought we were okay but we weren’t
It hurts
Fetus:
Hyung.
I don’t know how to make you understand that people treating you like this isn’t your fault. You don’t deserve this treatment.
They’re supposed to be your friends. Friends don’t act like this.
Yoongi shouldn’t have treated you like that. The screenshots you sent me were horrible, and fucked up, and what he said was inexcusable, okay?
if he needed space he should have found a better way to ask for it
Cryptic bitch:
It’s not like I would know what real friends are like…
All I have is you
Fetus:
I don’t treat you like shit though.
I respect you, and listen to you, and don’t jump to conclusions at the first chance I get.
Your “friends” aren’t your friends.
You need to get some space from them.
At least until you realize that you deserve good things.
Cryptic bitch:
…jihyun I can’t just not have friends
I can’t be fucking alone I’m stupid
Fetus:
I’m your bestfriend now.
Just make it through the year and I’ll be there in your school, and you won’t be alone.
I’ve already been accepted, okay?
Fuck those guys. I’ll be your only friend if it means people stop hurting you.
Just.
Make it through the year until I get there.
Please, hyung.
For my sake, just cut them out so they don’t hurt you anymore.
It’s not okay.
Cryptic bitch:
Okay
Okay I’m sorry
For being such a mess
Fetus:
I don’t want apologies for being upset
I want your fake friends to get their heads out of their fucking assholes and see that they’re being biased and judgemental bitches
But that’s just me 😊
Cryptic bitch:
😂 😂 😂
You’re so full of anger
Fetus:
It’s justified okay
You look like a baby chick
I feel protective cuz you’re so small and squishy

I’m older than you

I know
But that doesn’t mean I can’t still protect you from bullies

I was having a really bad week and I kind of overthought myself into a really bad place mentally, but that’s no excuse for lashing out. I know you guys understand my moods, but I still need to apologize. I said a lot of stuff that was uncalled for, and I’m really sorry, and I know sorry doesn’t change how shitty I was, I need to say it. I was really shitty this time around, and I’m really fucking sorry. And uh yeah I think I’m gonna schedule a meeting with the campus councilor…I was really shitty, and I felt really shitty for putting you guys through it again
Thank you guys for being there for me even though I was being unreasonable and an asshole <3
Especially you Hobi. I know I was a nightmare to live with.
…I’m sorry for throwing things at you all the time I’m an asshole
You can punch me?
Hoebi:

[Private chat: “min^2”]
Min Suga:
Hi Jiminie
You’re not answering the group chat
I owe you an apology
I shouldn’t have been so cruel to you last week. It was completely uncalled for, and I know you were just trying to be a good friend to me. I literally have no excuse about my behavior—I was just an asshole, and you didn’t deserve that. I’m really sorry. I’m so so sorry, Minnie. I know that an apology won’t make the things I said to you better, or change how hurtful they were, but I promise I won’t ever be that cruel to you again. I know I said that I lash out, but it’s not okay to just do that and I realized that. I’m sorry. Can I make it up to you? Or at least meet up to apologize in person?

Chapter Text
9:09AM THURSDAY 19 APRIL
Yoongi added Hobi, Brat, Jin, Joon, V to a new chat!
Yoongi has named the chat “Explain Yourselves”
[“Explain Yourselves”]
Yoongi:
I found Jimin
What the fuck happened in the week I was fucked up.
Brat, V, and 3 others are typing…
Maintaining his distance from his friends hadn’t been a problem; Jihyun would be happy to know that Jimin had had no problems muting all of the notifications from the chats between his friends. He’d been quite liberal with the button, actually, but Jimin had always been good at isolating himself from situations he didn’t want to be in. He’d even gone a step further and logged out of all of his social media, too, just so he wouldn’t have to see how happy they all were without him. Jimin didn’t think he wanted to see more proof that his friends had tolerated him at best, hated him at worst.
Jihyun would not be happy, however, to know that Jimin might have spiraled too far down the road of “Self-Care Induced Isolation” directly into “Isolated Self-Destruction Avenue”. It was a cycle, and cycles are hard to break once you’ve spiraled into them.
Oh, has Jimin spiraled.
He’d tried not to let himself get this far. Jimin went through all of the coping mechanisms his old counselors had told him for his anxiety; he’d counted to 543 before giving up when he felt like he was losing himself to a panic attack, took walks in broad daylight, told himself positive affirmations he pretended to believe. Jimin told himself he wasn’t worthless and that he wasn’t unlovable, or replaceable, and tried not to acknowledge that he’d forgotten how long it had been since he had felt like he was a person worth something.
When his coping strategies kept failing, and it had become too much, Jimin had given up. Nothing had been making him feel better—despite how often Jihyun texted him, Jimin still felt achingly lonely. He recited positive phrases to himself that he heard reversed as whispers when he walked, his name alone enough to induce snickers and pointed barbs from his classmates. He tried to power through—Honestly, Jimin tried so hard he was sure he deserved some kind of award. At the very least, Jimin expected the situation to get better or at least not to get worse.
Of course, because Jimin has terrible luck, it got worse.
It went from bad to worse in dance Friday evening, when a freshman dancer Jimin didn’t even know by name had burst out in snide laughter at the sound of his name coming from Hoseok’s scolding mouth.
Jimin had messed up a step, and Hoseok had snapped, and the freshman had laughed and had the nerve to say, “Wow so Park Jimin really isn’t good at anything outside of the bedroom.”
The room had gone silent, Jimin’s mouth dropped open in shock, because sure the rumors had been bad, and he had heard what was said, but nobody had ever so blatantly remarked on it to his face before. Jimin didn’t know how to react—he didn’t know whether to defend himself, or cry, or teach the freshman to respect. The only thing Jimin was sure of was that, for the first time in a long time, he felt so ashamed to even exist.
Helplessly, he had turned to Hoseok, hoping his hyung would know what to do. Hoseok was the TA, after all. Even if he wasn’t Jimin’s friend right now (and Jimin knew they weren’t friends—Hoseok’s sweeping gaze and disregard for Jimin’s presence as opposed to his hugs and heart-shaped smiles from before spoke volumes of Jimin’s position within the group), Hoseok had to keep the classroom in order. The syllabus had specifically stated that bullying and harassment is a serious offense.
Their eyes had met briefly, Jimin’s wet with tears he didn’t want to shed, and Hoseok’s wide with shock. They had hardened almost immediately, and he’d stepped past Jimin to the freshman.
“Let’s refrain from locker room talk in class.” He’d said sternly, then jerked his head to the exit. “You’re done for the day. Come back when you can filter your words.”
The freshman had left, and Jimin had watched, speechless, as Hoseok had resumed his position in front of the class without another glance at Jimin, and demanded another repetition of the sequence.
Jimin didn’t participate that afternoon. He promptly walked to where he had set down his bag against the wall and pulled his shoes onto his feet.
“Where are you going?” Hoseok asked, from the front of the class. “You don’t have this sequence down—the showcase isn’t going to wait for you to get it right if you’re skipping class.”
Jimin wordlessly laced his shoes and left the studio.
It was only when he was out of the building that he burst into tears, and they didn’t stop until he was shaking so bad it hurt to breath.
It got worse, he told himself. It got much, much worse.
He had honest to God tried to be someone that his little brother could be proud of, but it was all of a sudden too much, and that evening he had found the first party he had heard of and drank himself stupid, and spiraled from there. For over a week, he had been hopping between dorm rooms of his hook ups, and parties, and even slept in the couches in the halls of the classroom buildings. Through his haze, he knows his week was filled with hangovers he cured with more alcohol. You can’t be hungover if you’re always drunk, right?
Maybe drinking helped him forget that sometimes, it hurt too much to breath, and he wondered if maybe he would like to stop.
Maybe Jimin liked that it hurt. Maybe he let everything hurt.
Maybe Jimin deserved it. Maybe he shouldn’t have ever had sex since all it did was cause him problems. Maybe the hands that keep touching him have all started to blend together in a haze of self-hatred, and he’s long since stopped feeling the relief of being touched and started to associate touch with something dirty. Maybe being touched repulses him now, but if he’s not a good lay anymore, then what is he even good for?
The evidence is conclusive: Park Jimin had never been good for anything except being an easy fuck. So what if he doesn’t like it anymore? This is all he’s ever going to get. Nobody loves broken, used goods.
And that’s fine. Jimin doesn’t fucking need anyone—he’s been just fine on his own. Just because he feels his throat close up with shame as he spews lies to his brother over facetime, telling him that he’s doing better and has been keeping himself busy in the library, and in the studio. At least the latter was correct; Jimin didn’t tell Jihyun why he’d been spending so much time in the studio, though.
Hoseok had been right. Jimin had been bringing the team down—He made too many mistakes in practice. He needed to be perfect so Hoseok wouldn’t have to yell at him to fix his moves anymore. He didn’t want to be yelled at anymore. Jimin preferred the disinterested gaze Hoseok gave him in class. (Like Jimin was part of the décor. Like he was nothing.)
But it’s fine. Everything is fine.
Everything is okay, he tells himself when he walks into his Vocal Arts classroom Thursday morning. He shares it with Yoongi, so Jimin is on high alert in case the elder comes in through the doors. He disregards his usual seat in the front to sit in the back—too tired and hungover to participate. He pulls his hood up and drops his head into his arms.
His entire body aches. The bruises on his arms throb where his head rests on them, and if he focuses, he can feel the throb in his legs. He can’t really do anything but focus on them, either. It’s either focus on the bruises marring his skin, or focus on the throbbing in his brain from the hangover.
It’s fine. He’s fine. He’s okay.
He’s fucking fine, and he needs a smoke.
The clock in front of the classroom says there are still ten minutes left before the professor even enters the classroom to set up, so he knows he’ll make it. Jimin can run out, take a quick smoke to calm his anxiety, and he can come back and pretend to care about this stupid class. Hell, taking the break would hide his apathy even better—he’d have time to work himself up to feeling human for an hour. He’s already smoked on his way to the building this morning, but his hands are still trembling and if he doesn’t stop them, his chest will soon be joining them.
He braces himself to stand up only to startle back into his seat when the chair besides him scrapes back away from the desk. Jimin scoots away from the person now occupying the chair, hyperaware of the stench of smoke from his clothes. Socially Acceptable is not the term Jimin would use to describe himself right now, and in fact he would go as far as to say he’s a Fucking Wreck, and he doesn’t want to drag anyone else down with him.
“Hi.” Yoongi’s voice says. Jimin had slept a couple of hours last night—he’s not sleep deprived enough to be hallucinating, so this is real. Real-Yoongi is actually sitting next to Jimin, talking to him civilly. Jimin closes his eyes. Yoongi is real.
Jimin clears his throat. “Hello.” God, he sounds horrible.
Through his peripheral vision, Jimin catches sight of Yoongi’s fingers nervously fidgeting in his lap—his thumb is red and bitten around the nail. Jimin turns to the wall, his own hands now nearly vibrating with how anxious he feels.
This isn’t happening—this wasn’t part of the plan. Jimin had planned exactly how he was going to make it through the day, starting with attending this class for attendance points and then practicing the routines for the showcase for a couple of hours until he got another invitation to drink. Yoongi being here ruins everything; he can’t be here, not right now, not when Jimin was too much of a mess to handle anything outside of his plan.
Jimin needs to get out of here. He hates ruining a plan, but anything is better than facing whatever Yoongi is going to say to him.
“I’m sorry.” Yoongi blurts. “I’m so, so sorry Jiminie.” Jimin cringes—he doesn’t deserve a nickname. “I’m really, really fucking sorry. I know I fucked up really badly. I say things that aren’t okay and aren’t true, and I shouldn’t have said them. You’re not…” He hesitates; Jimin fills in the words for him mentally. Easy. A slut. Annoying. Worthless. “…Not any of the things I said. I was having a shitty day, and I know that’s not an excuse. I’m really, really sorry, Jiminie.”
Jimin thinks it would be easier to forget about what had happened if it was just the things Yoongi had said that hurt. The truth was, what Yoongi had said was nothing Jimin hadn’t heard before. It wasn’t anything Jimin didn’t already know. He knows he has issues. Jimin knows he shouldn’t use sex as a way to cope with loneliness, but it’s his life. No, what had really hurt was the implications of what he had said, and the way nobody had even tried to look through Jimin’s eyes.
“It’s okay.” Jimin says softly. “Don’t worry about it.”
The back seat is suddenly seeming like a terrible idea. The exit is so far away, and students are already flooding inside of the lecture hall and filling the remaining seats. Luckily, the professor hasn’t arrived yet, so theoretically Jimin could still make his escape. The empty row down the middle of the classroom is mostly void of students. He might get some strange looks of the twenty or so students already situated in the room, but what was another rumor?
How much worse could the associations with his name get?
A hand drops to his shoulder. “Jimin?”
Jimin reacts before he realizes it. By the time he’s processed what he’s done, he’s already shoved Yoongi’s hand off of him, snapping “Don’t touch me!” and pressing himself against the wall he’s sat himself next to. Jimin is angled as far away from Yoongi as he can get without turning his back to him, hands up protectively.
Yoongi’s mouth is dropped open in a little ‘o’, his eyes just as wide. Jimin drinks his features in—it’s been two weeks since he’s last seen Yoongi up close. Still pale in complexion, Yoongi does have a small flush across his cheeks from the cold air outside. His hair is fussed, sticking up and mused from the wind. It’s longer now, too, nearly covering Yoongi’s eyes. He’s wearing a black hoodie, just like Jimin, but unlike Jimin Yoongi is wearing a yellow flannel underneath it peeking up from the collar of his hoodie.
Yoongi looks perfect. Healthy. Clean.
Too clean to be touching someone like Jimin.
Jimin settles back into his seat, rips his eyes away. “Sorry.” He mutters. “You startled me.”
Yoongi inhales deeply. “Are you okay?”
The question is so stupid Jimin wants to laugh. Is he okay? No. He’s the furthest thing from okay that he could possibly be. Yoongi isn’t stupid—he can clearly see that Jimin looks as okay as he feels. Unless he doesn’t care, which, now that Jimin thinks about it, is probably the case. Yoongi is probably asking out of politeness. “I’m fine. How are you, hyung? You look better.”
He looks like he hasn’t been kept awake every single night by the things he had said to Jimin. It’s a bitter thought that Jimin shakes away. He doesn’t want to be like this. Being this angry is why his friends don’t want him anymore.
Yoongi is pouting when Jimin looks at him again. It settles into a frown. “I’m okay. Um. Listen, I’m really sorry. I was ridiculously out of line with what I said. I was spiteful, and it wasn’t okay. You didn’t deserve to be my punching back, and I promise I’m never going to lash out at you like that again. I um…” He rubs the back of his neck. “I have an appointment with the campus counselor. I need help with my anger again…and I realize that. I’m really sorry that it took hurting you for me to take the step, Jimin. Will you let me make it up to you?”
Jimin squints his eyes at Yoongi. He’s searching for a tell—a wiggle of his nose, a twitch of his eyes, anything to prove that what he’s hearing is the lie that it sounds like. Yoongi had always had a very expressive face; Jimin had learned to read it very well over all the time they had spent together.
It hurts that he has to use his knowledge like this.
Yoongi is a really good liar. He’s excellent, actually, because there’s nothing but well-rehearsed remorse across his face. Even his eyes look genuinely sorry. He looks so genuine, Jimin is almost convinced that Yoongi is actually being sincere, but Jimin isn’t stupid.
“No, that’s okay.” Jimin finally says, frustrated. “It’s okay. Don’t even worry about it.”
“Jimin, it’s not okay—”
“It’s fine.” He insists, shutting down the matter. “There’s nothing to make up for. I should have backed off and give you your space like you wanted. Consider me educated for next time. I’m fine. I’m glad you’re feeling better.”
He crosses his arms, a clear “Stop Talking” signal, but Yoongi can’t fucking read, apparently, because he goes on.
Leaning forward in his seat towards Jimin, eyebrows furrowed, Yoongi says, “No, it’s not okay. It was fucked up.” He’s invading Jimin’s space—Jimin breaths just a little bit harder, feeling trapped. “You didn’t do anything wrong, Minnie. I was the asshole who was out of line, and it’s not fucking okay. Stop pretending it was. There’s never an excuse for being such a dick to your friends.” Yoongi swallows, his voice wet. “I’m really sorry, and I can only promise that it won’t happen again. Never again. I’m not going to hurt you like that again, and if you let me, I’m going to make it up to you. I’m sorry.”
Jimin can’t breath. He wants to believe Yoongi is being sincere, but he can’t. As much as he wishes the words he’s being told are the truth, he remembers the accusations perfectly clear. He remembers Yoongi’s harsh, honest words—it was Jimin’s fault. The others had reminded him, too. Yoongi will never like him, and maybe he wants to apologize now, maybe it real and Yoongi really feels bad, but how long will it be until Yoongi decides he doesn’t want Jimin anymore?
How long until Jimin makes another mistake?
How long until Yoongi decides he’s bored of Jimin and just throws him away for someone who is clean and worth something?
All of this in mind, Jimin just nods, and remains wordless and distanced from Yoongi as the professor walks in and begins lecture.
It’s tense. Yoongi is full of nervous energy and Jimin is no better. They’re both fidgeting in their seats,Yoongi typing away furiously on his phone, not paying attention at all and Jimin can say that he didn’t hear a single word that came out of his professors mouth the entire lecture, either. It’s only when he notices his classmates packing up and leaving does he spring up out of his seat. He’s slinging his backpack over his shoulder and is ready to get the fuck out of this room just as Yoongi stands up and blocks his escape.
For a moment, Jimin contemplates the consequences of leaping over the desk to freedom. He seriously considers just parkouring his way out of this entire situation.
“Do you have somewhere you need to be right now?” Yoongi asks timidly. He’s smiling a little awkwardly, a crook of his lips more than the actual smile Jimin has grown fond of over time. “We um…We still need to have that conversation. From last time.”
Jimin shakes his head immediately. “I—I have to rehearse. I gotta go or someone will take me spot. Bye.”
He drops his head, steels his nerves, and pushes past Yoongi. Jimin speed walks out of the lecture hall, and then he adjusts his grip on his backpack and sprints out of the building, heart pounding, and aching.
[“Explain Yourselves”]
V:
I don’t really know much??
He was kind of upset by what happened but he hasn’t mentioned it since then
Hobi:
I think the end of the term stress is getting to him
He’s always tired and it’s starting to effect his dance
Yoongi:
He’s not okay.
He’s so past not okay he wouldn’t look me in the eyes.
He wouldn’t let me touch him.
Jimin always lets me hug him but he didn’t
What happened?
Joon:
...I don’t know hyung…
Brat:
He’s probably embarrassed that he was called out for his shit
Jin:
…Jungkook
Yoongi:
Jeon Jungkook
What the fuck does that mean
Brat:
You know
That thing he had with you
His “crush” on you
V:
Uh kook
I don’t think now is the time to have an attitude…
Yoongi:
You’re fucking right it isn’t the time to have an attitude.
Explain yourself, Jungkook.
Brat:
…I…He doesn’t actually like you, hyung…he just thought he did and I called him out on it
After you yelled at him he was still going around trying to ask what he did wrong like he didn’t know and I called him out on his lie. He didn’t like that I guess, but I was right. He was sleeping around even after he hurt you
Jin:
That is a very messed up explanation but…he’s not wrong. I saw Jimin the other day walking around campus with some dark marks. He was obviously doing the walk of shame, and he looked mortified when he saw me. I think he didn’t want us to know that he was still hooking up
I didn’t want to think he was so shady, but he is
I’m kind of disappointed that I thought he’d be better than that
Yoongi:
Seokjin shut the fuck up I’ll handle your bullshit in one second
Jungkook.
What do you mean by calling him out?
Tell me EXACTLY what you said to him.
Brat:
Um
Yoongi:
Oh, are you getting nervous to show me? Are you finally realizing how fucked this situation is?
Brat:
It just…
Joon:
Kook, just tell him
I think there’s been a misunderstanding
Yoongi:
I sure fucking hope it’s just a misunderstanding
Jungkook.
Brat:
okay
<screenshot-attached>
Jin:
…oh
Oh Jungkook
V:
…
Yoongi:
I’m going to say this in the nicest way possible because I’m honestly too shocked to process that my sweet fucking dongsaeng is this much of a bully
Jeon Jungkook: what the actual fuck is wrong with you?
What made you think that sending that was in ANY way, shape, or form okay?
Who the fuck taught you to be such a fucking DICK to your friends?
V:
Um hyung
Not to be That Guy
But you weren’t exactly fucking nice to Jimin either.
You were a dick to him too
Yoongi:
I know.
But do you see me acting self righteous about it?
And for that matter, where the fuck were you this week Kim Taehyung?
What the fuck happened to being there for your ‘soulmate’?
V:
I was there for him!
I told him everything would work out.
Yoongi:
Show me the screenshot.
V:
<screenshot-attached>
Yoongi:
YOU BLAMED HIM FOR MY BITCH ATTITUDE
YOU
TAEHYUNG
YOU ACCUSED JIMIN OF USING ME DESPITE IMPLYING THAT YOU KNEW ABOUT HIS CRUSH ON ME
What the actual fuck!
Anyone else have some fucking confessions to make?
Joon:
…I did the same…
I told him I didn’t have time for him and to apologize to you
Jin:
I did something similar
Hoebi:
I’ve uh
Been kind of scapegoating him in practice…
I wasn’t even trying to not be biased and I think it’s been pushing him to practice longer..
Yoongi:
Alright. Okay
Have any of you spoken to him since then?
V:
…No…
Jin:
No
Joon:
No
Hoebi:
In practice kind of…
He doesn’t really respond unless it’s a direct question
Brat:
No
Yoongi:
Oh so you’ve been freezing Jimin out
Jimin, our friend
Jimin, who is there for us when we’re being bitchy
Park Jimin, the kid who had such a hard time trusting us and opening up we barely got him to before we all fucked up. Same kid who was afraid of us finding out his issues because he was scared we’d hate him
Great. That’s just great.
We fucked over our own friend.
Love that for us.
Jin:
I understand that you’re upset, but you can’t just lash out again
Yoongi:
Kim Seokjin shut the fuck up.
You’re supposed to be our hyung
The oldest.
You’re not supposed to play along with our shit
You’re supposed to see when one of us is being a dick and calling us out on it
You didn’t seem to have a problem calling us out when it came to jimin.
Jin:
Yoongi.
Yoongi:
Nuh
No I’m
No you know what I was going to be calm because I love you guys but I’m pissed
Like fuck. I fucked up, okay? I fucked up really bad with Jimin but I’ve already apologized and maybe it was too late, but I at least owned up to my mistake. I was a fucking asshole to Jimin. And I realize that.
But that was my mistake! I was the one who snapped
You guys didn’t even know what happened but you all went and did this shit
But you all don’t seem to realize how shitty you’re being.
Fuck.
Would you treat me like this?
Would you fucking freeze me out if one of you snapped at me without context?
Jin:
…No
Yoongi:
THEN WHY
DID YOU DO THAT
TO JIMIN
LIKE I GET HE DOESN’T KNOW US FROM DIAPERS BUT FUCK
HE’S BEEN OUR FRIEND FOR A YEAR
Brat:
I thought he was just using you
I thought he wasn’t serious and he was going to hurt you…he has a history, hyung, even you know that
Yoongi:
SO
DO
YOU
JUNGKOOK YOU LITERALLY PANIC KISSED ME WHEN YOU WERE 17 AND IGNORED ME FOR MONTHS BECAUSE YOU COULDN’T HANDLE HAVING FEELINGS FOR A BOY
AND THE PROCEEDED TO SLEEP AROUND WITH EVERY OTHER BOY ON CAMPUS AS WELL AS THE GIRLS
WHY AREN’T YOU
OF ALL PEOPLE
DEFENDING JIMIN?!
Brat:
I don’t know
I’m sorry
Yoongi:
NUH UH NO
YOU’RE ONLY SORRY CUZ I’M UPSET
WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU GUYS CUT JIMIN OFF
I WAS HAVING A MENTAL BREAKDOWN AND LASHED OUT
JIMIN DIDN’T EVEN DO ANYTHING WRONG HE WAS TRYING HIS FUCKING BEST TO BE MY FRIEND AND I BITCHED AT HIM AND SAID SHIT I SHOULDN’T HAVE SAID THAT ISN’T EVEN TRUE ANYWAYS
AND YALL JUMPED DOWN HIS THROAT
THAT’S SO FUCKED UP DO YOU EVEN SEE THAT?
YOU ALL HAVE ME ON SOME FUCKED UP PEDESTAL AND ACT LIKE I CAN DO NO WRONG OR I’M SOME KIND OF SAINT BUT JESUS
NEWSFLASH IDIOTS:
I AM HUMAN
I MAKE MISTAKES AND BEING AN ASSHOLE TO JIMIN WAS A HUGE ONE
BUT SO WAS YOU GUYS BEING EVEN BIGGER ASSHOELS AND JUMPING ABOARD THE SS-I-HATE-PARK-JIMIN WITHOUT KNOWING ANYTHING ABOUT WHAT WAS HAPPENING
WE KISSED AT A PARTY AND I WAS INSECURE ABOUT WHAT THAT FUCKING MEANT BECAUSE I’M AN EMOTIONALLY CONSTIPATED LOSER
HE DIDN’T TRY TO FUCK ME
AND FRANKLY
YOU DON’T GET TO FUCKING POLICE WHO I DO OR DON’T FUCK.
I AM A GROWN ASS MAN.
IF I WANT TO GET FUCKED SEVEN WAYS TO SUNDAY THEN I CAN.
IF I WANT TO GET MY HEART BROKEN BY PARK JIMIN AND HIS GLORIOUS ASS THAT IS MY GOD GIVEN RIGHT
Brat:
Hyung we’re sorry
We were crossing the line…
V:
Yeah…It was fucked up
Hoebi:
I’m sorry I shouldn’t have gone along with it. I was the one to introduce jimin to you guys, I should have been on his side too
Yoongi:
He’s our fucking friend.
And we were so shitty to him he probably doesn’t even want to see us anymore
He doesn’t look okay. He looks so far past okay I’m worried he’s not going to make it through the semester
And we did that.
Why the fuck would you guys just.
Not give him the benefit of the doubt?
There’s two sides to every story, even if this time the only story was me bitching cuz of my depression.
Joon:
We thought he was going to use you
For a hook up
Yoongi:
Namjoon.
Your boyfriend and you were strictly friends with benefits before your big emotional get together. You fucked like rabbits. Jungkook has slept with almost everyone in his year. You both are the LAST people that should be judging Jimin for anything sex related.
And frankly
What the fuck
Why are you trying to stop me from getting dick
Literally what the fuck you are supposed to be my friends
AND JIMIN’S FRIENDS
God we’re such hypocrites.
Fucking.
We were trying to encourage him to feel comfortable to talk to us about his hook ups and then we turn around a slut shame him?
We fucking slut shamed him.
We were doing the exact same fucking shit that every asshole on this campus has been doing since those fucking rumors about him started.
I’m so.
We’re assholes.
We’re genuine fucking assholes.
Jungkook, I expected better from you. You’re a sweet kid; that was cruel, what you said. And I know you’re smart—you knew it would hurt him. I’m disappointed.
Namjoon. You’re supposed to be the smart one. You weren’t supposed to listen to fucking rumors.
Hoseok, you’re a TA. You’re literally being such a fucking aksjfdsfkd for targeting Jimin. He’s probably tearing himself up trying to meet the standards you’ve probably impossibly raised. You KNOW he’s a fucking perfectionist
Seokjin, you should have known better.
And Taehyung. You go on and on about you’re Jimin’s soulmate, his bestfriend, how much you love him. Where the fuck were you when your bestfriend was being targeted by your own friends?
What the fuck is wrong with us?
V:
…we fucked up
Brat:

Taehyungie:
Jiminie hyung
I’m sorry
I realize that I was blaming you for a situation that wasn’t your fault and I’m really sorry. I should’ve been a better friend to you and listened to your side of the story instead of only worrying about Yoongi-hyung. I’m sorry I wasn’t there for you when you needed me to be. ☹ Please forgive me Chiminie. I promise I’ll be a better friend for you ☹
I know you probably don’t want to talk to me, but can you let me know that you’re okay?
I haven’t heard from you…
Actually I don’t know when the last time I heard from you was and I know that makes me even worse of a soulmate…
Please be safe. I love you, and I’m an asshole soulmate
I’m sorry ☹

Hey Jimin
I owe you an apology
I’m really sorry for not listening to you when you reached out to me. We always encourage you to open up to us, and then when you needed us we turned our back and I’m truly sorry for that. I hope you can forgive us for being such dicks to you…

Jiminie, I’m sorry.
I was supposed to be your hyung that you could trust and confide in when you’re upset. I’m so sorry that I failed you when you needed my help.
I was wrong to imply that any of the situation with Yoongi was in any way your fault. I didn’t know the whole story, and that’s no excuse for what I implied, and I should have listened to what you had to say without judgement. I’m sorry Jimin
You don’t have to forgive me, but I would like the chance to stay your friend, even though I made a huge mistake.

I’m sorry
I know I’ve been an asshole to you
And I know I had no reason to and that you have every reason never to talk to me especially with how harsh I’ve been on you in class
I’m sorry though, Jiminie.
I’m really, really sorry
Can you forgive me even thought I’m the biggest asshole in the world?
…I don’t know if this will help but you’re actually doing amazing in class. I know I’ve been hard on you, and it was unnecessary. You’ve been working really hard. Please take breaks and rest

Jungkookie:
Hyung, I need to apologize to you. I was judgmental and projecting my insecurities onto you. You probably already assumed this but I used to be really careless with who I slept with. I hurt people, and I didn’t feel bad about it until Namjoon-hyung called me out on it when I first liked him. I hurt Yoongi back then too, a lot, and it really messed him up and it was my fault. I was projecting those insecurities on you, and that wasn’t okay. You’re a really nice person, Jimin-hyung, and I was blind and stupid to not see that you genuinely care about Yoongi. I’m really sorry for instigating so much shit, and I’m really sorry for the shitty things I did and said to you. I know I’ve been an asshole, and you don’t even have to talk to me anymore. I understand if you need me to leave you alone for a while. But I really am sorry hyung, and if you let me I want to try to make it up to you. Please. I’m really, really sorry. I made a mistake and you got hurt in the process, and I’m really, honestly, sorry.

You WERE really mean…
Tbh I’d be kind of surprised if he didn’t…
Brat:
I know
I just
I feel really guilty
Yoongi:
Good.
You’re a fucking brat.
Brat:
I’m sorry
Yoongi:
I know
But that doesn’t change what happened, does it Kook?
Actions have consequences
Jin:
He’s ignoring you too, isn’t he?
That’s why you’re so on edge
Yoongi:
He won’t even read my texts
I tried to talk to him in class again and nothing
He won’t look at me
Won’t speak to me
I don’t even think he’s receiving notifications from me
I don’t know how to fix this
V:
He isn’t reading my texts
Did he block us?
Brat:
My texts won’t deliver
Joon:
We’re muted then
My texts went through but he hasn’t opened them either
He muted us

Okay

We messed up
And we didn’t listen to you when you were trying to ask for our help
And we’re sorry.
SO, so sorry
Taebi:
Jiminie
Are you okay?
We’re really sorry
Please answer us
I’m starting to get worried

I know you’re probably really mad at us but we are really really sorry. They were just following along with my dumbass impulsive conclusion.
I’m really, really really really really sorry

Duckling:
I’m going to drop my class
Fetus:
…it’s really late in the semester…
Aren’t your finals in like two weeks?
Duckling:
Yeah
Its not like I’d pass that class anyway
My final was a performance with Yoongi
And we haven’t worked on it since before I fucked up
We won’t pass
So I’m dropping
Fetus:
You didn’t fuck up.
He fucked up.
You have to start accepting that
Duckling:
Point is
We’re too behind on our performance
Fetus:
…couldn’t you try and make it work?
Duckling:
I’m not meeting up with him.
He’s trying to talk to me more in class but I can’t
It makes me feel like I can’t breath
I can’t decide if I’m mad or sad about him suddenly changing his mind about hating me
I’m stupid
It’s too late to find a new partner so I’m going to drop
Yoongi can do a solo instead. He’s great at music
He’ll still get a good grade
Fetus:
Why don’t you do a solo?
Duckling:
I can’t make music
I’m emailing my professor right now
Fetus:
☹
Is this just because you don’t want to see him?
Duckling:
Of course not
Fetus:
Hyung
Duckling:
Okay maybe
But
In my defense
I’m sensitive
And I don’t handle my emotions well, and he knows it so
Avoidance tactics
Fetus:
Fuck Yoongi for being so shitty about it
Fuck his big fucking mouth
Duckling:
It’s fine
He’s right
I can’t get mad at him for stating the truth
Fetus:
uh yeah you can
He was an asshole about it
He wasn’t trying to help you figure out your problems
he didn’t try to support you by having a well meaning intervention
He was attacking you and making you feel shitty about having problems
And using them against you.
He used your insecurities against you
You SHOULD be mad
Duckling:
I can’t be
Fetus:
Then I’LL be mad for the both of us
Duckling:
Thank you <3
I’m sorry I’m not a better hyung to you
I should be the one being protective
Fetus:
Shut up
I’m not being bullied
You can mama bear when my group of friends turn out to be snakes

I’m sending this email to officially request my withdrawal from your 9:15am Vocal Arts class. There’s been an emergency with my family that will leave me unable to focus on the remaining lectures. Rather than taking a failing grade, I would rather formally remove myself from the class roster. It has been a pleasure taking this course up to this point.
I apologize for an inconvenience that may arise from my sudden withdrawal of the course.
Thank you for understanding.

Mr. Park
I understand your decision. If you come to my office during office hours, I will have paperwork ready for your withdrawal. You can also find the paperwork online at https://sau.edu/withdrawal-requests/ to be submit with administrative signatures for approval.
I hope your family is well. It has been a pleasure having you in class this semester.

Subject: Partner Withdrawal
Hello Yoongi! This email is to inform you that your partner for this semester’s final performance has withdrawn from class. Park Jimin will not be able to perform with you. Because this is a last-minute change to the program, you are encouraged to perform a solo piece for the final. If you could email me the attachments of all the collaboration you and Jimin have done prior to his withdrawal, I’ll be sure to input the proper grades.
Sorry for the inconvenience! Be sure to reach out if you need any additional assistance.

Yoongi:
<screenshot-attachment>
He fucking withdrew from the only class we share together.
Brat:
Oh
V:
I’m sorry hyung
Yoongi:
He doesn’t talk to me anymore
And he doesn’t giggle anymore or make comments to me, and now this
He doesn’t want to see me so bad that he withdrew from the class
Jimin hates me, and I can’t say I don’t blame him for it
I don’t know how to fix this
Brat:
Hyung
It might not have been because of you…
Yoongi:
Do you have any other explanation for why he dropped the ONLY class we have together directly after I’ve been trying to speak with him again?
After ignoring him and lashing out and hurting him?
Because I don’t
Brat:
no…
V:
I’ll try talking to him
Yoongi:
He has us all muted
V:
But he’s still in his dorm right?
Yoongi:
No
He isn’t
Because jaegyu still lives there
His asshole fucking roommate who makes living there hell
He didn’t report him
So he still lives with him
Jimin hates being in his dorm
He leaves and hangs out with one of us anytime he can
Literally, he only goes back to change his clothes and grab his stuff and sleep
He won’t be in the dorm
Jin:
Where has he been going the past weeks then since he hasn’t been with us?
Joon:
I think we all know where
Yoongi:
Namjoon.
Joon:
I didn’t mean it like that
I just meant
Yoongi:
No.
No digs.
No “I didn’t mean it”
We need to watch our fucking words before we make it worse
I “didn’t mean” to be such an asshole to you guys but it still hurt
Words fucking hurt, whether we mean them or not
Brat:
But he’s right…
You were locked in your apartment hyung
But we were on campus and we saw Jimin kind of
He was always out with someone
Yoongi:
Of course he was
His fucking friends turned on him
He needed to get out and distracted and we weren’t there for him
Sue him for trying to get something familiar
Jin:
okay look
Weren’t you the one who aggressively slut shamed Jimin?
And now suddenly you’re playing like you’ve never hurt him.
We all made mistakes yoongi
Yoongi:
I’m trying to fix them.
I don’t know if any of you are.
Jin:
I tried to apologize
It’s up to him if he accepts it or wants to speak to us again
We fucked him up, and he has every right to stay away from us.
I know what you’re trying to do Yoongi but you can’t put pressure on him to be our friend again
Yoongi:
He doesn’t know that we apologized
He knows that I tried in class, and it was honestly a really shitty apology and doesn’t in any way make up for the shit I said
He’s insecure
He probably thinks we hate him and he’s probably beating himself up about it
I just need him to know that it wasn’t his fault
If he doesn’t want to see us anymore after that, then fine
But I don’t want him to distance himself and keep thinking that people being shitty to him is his fault
He thinks he deserves every bad thing that happens to him and I’ve tried to show him that it’s not true
But idk if he believes me
He needs to know I’m the asshole here, not him
Joon:
Would he actually blame himself for this?
Yoongi:
Do you know what he said to me when I tried apologizing to him in class?
He told me that he shouldn’t have pushed. He said he should have given me my space, like I asked.
Brat:
oh
Yoongi:
Yeah
“oh”
I hope you fucking realize what we did
Jin:
yoongi
He’s a kid
Yoongi:
Yeahhh see
I don’t give a fuck right now
Because kids can be mean, too
he was just as bad as I was
And I’m a mean son of a bitch
So if the child can act so cruel, he can handle a bit of rudeness, don’t you think?
He shouldn’t be saying anything he can’t handle being said to him.
Jin:
He made a mistake
Calm down
V:
He’s already upset about what happened, hyung
He knows he messed up
Just calm down
Yoongi:
I’m calm Taehyung
I’m very calm
But I’m not stupid
I’ve been coddling you too much, Jungkook
I let you get away with too many moments you should have learned from
And that was my mistake
Brat:
No
I knew that you wouldn’t be okay with what I said but I thought he hurt you
I wanted him to hurt
…I was projecting onto him
Yoongi:
what
Brat:
When I hurt you…
I remember how bad you got
And I still feel horrible
And I didn’t want you to go through that with Jimin
So I tried to keep you guys away and it didn’t work
And I felt worse
Because I knew that if you got hurt I couldn’t help
And I turned that on him
And now I know that was stupid and I know I didn’t have a right to do that and it wasn’t okay
I told the others my suspicions and they didn’t believe me at first but I convinced them
So it’s my fault
And I’m sorry
I made things worse for you and Jimin-hyung
I should have trusted both of you and not gotten involved
…It wasn’t my relationship to meddle with, and I realize that now, and I’m sorry
I won’t do it again
I promise
Yoongi:
You convinced the others that Jimin was going to use me for sex.
Brat:
Yes
I’m sorry
Yoongi:
Jungkook
I love you
But you need to grow up and learn to stay out of my business.
I’m not a child. You’re not my mother.
I know you had good intentions, but I’m honestly so beyond livid by this whole thing that I’m going to put my phone down and calm down before I say something else I’m going to regret.
We’ll talk when I’ve calmed down.
V:
Kook
Come home
Brat:
okay
I’m sorry
This was my fault
V:
We’ll talk it through okay? It’s not unfixable
We’ll fix it
Jin:
how?

Duckling:
So
I checked my messages
Fetus:
And?
Duckling:
Funny story 😊
You’re gonna get a kick out of this 😊
Everyone is apologizing to me
Fetus:
…
Duckling:
It gets funnier!
Listen
YOONGI apologized first 😊
In class he cornered me and apologized and APPARENTLY he’s been texting me too
I had them muted like you asked so I didn’t see anything
But apparently they’ve all been messaging me! :D
I checked yesterday on accident and they’re ALL apologizing now
Suddenly they’re all remorseful :D
Fetus:
Hyung
Why do you sound pissed
Duckling:
That’s because I am :D
I noticed a trend, Ji
I noticed a huge trend
I’m not stupid, you know
I’m not
I noticed that whatever Yoongi does, the others do
So suddenly he feels bad for yelling at me and now the others do to!
Isn’t that funny?
Fetus:
Hyung…
Are you okay?
Duckling:
I’m kind of mad
I’m kind of really mad
Cuz it’s not fair
It’s not fucking fair that they only give me a chance when yoongi does
It’s not fucking fair that I know they don’t give a fuck about me unless yoongi does
Why does he get to be unconditionally loved despite the mean shit he says but god fucking forbid I mess up
Fetus:
They aren’t your friends
Duckling:
I fucking know that
I know they’re not my friends
They never wanted to be my friends and I was stupid enough to believe anyone would ever fucking like me
I’m so stupid 😂
Fetus:
Jimin
Duckling:
What
It’s true
Nobody but you likes me
And fine
Whatever
I’ll fucking deal with it.
I’m just so tired of hearing from people that they’ll stay with me and then abandoning me the first chance they fucking get
I’m
So
Fucking
Tired of it.
Fetus:
It’s almost summer
Duckling:
Yeah
I won’t have to see them anymore
That’s good
Fetus:
Yeah
Some distance will help
Duckling:
Hoseok keeps looking like he kicked a puppy when he looks at me
Fetus:
…that’s…good?
Duckling:
No
It’s stupid
This whole situation is stupid
He’s been yelling at me in practice for over a month now and all of a sudden he’s trying to be nice to me?
None of them have told me what I’ve done wrong the first time and then they cut me out like I was nothing to them and now they’re apologizing out of nowhere
I don’t like it
How long until they decide I’m the bad guy again?
How long until
Fetus:
Don’t forgive them
Duckling:
I can’t avoid them
Fetus:
Jimin
Cmon
Duckling:
I can’t avoid them
Hoseok is in the dance program with me, so he’s in most of my classes. The others pop in and out of my classes and I would see them on campus
I can’t avoid them even if I wanted to
You think I didn’t try when they were ignoring me?
They were fucking everywhere I turned. Jin saw me leave one of the parties covered in sweat and bruises and he looked pissed off :) I can't :) fucking :) escape them :)
Fetus:
I’ll hide you from them
If I see them I’ll throw a jacket over you or something
Duckling:
Jihyun
You can’t just do that
Fetus:
Sure I can
Just watch
I’ll even fight yoongi
Hell I’ll bulk up this summer and throw hands with Jungkook
Just watch
Duckling:
Or
You could NOT do that
And let me deal with it
Fetus:
That’s no fun
Duckling:
It’s not supposed to be fun
It’s real life
Fetus:
Let me fight them
Duckling:
No
Fetus:
Are you going to keep talking to them?
Duckling:
I don’t know
I don’t want to make this a bigger deal than it is
What’s the point in adding another rumor? How does it sound:
“Park Jimin can’t keep his friends close, or his legs closed”
Has a catchy fucking ring to it
Fetus:
Shut up.
Literally, just shut up. This isn’t your fucking fault.
You never hid the fact that you slept with people
You never fucking led anyone on
Whatever fucking impression they got of you was from their own ignorant ideas and them giving weight to bullshit rumors
They literally
Ganged up on you for fucks sake
You can’t keep blaming yourself for being fucking bullied by your supposed friends.
It’s not fucking fair to you and it makes me want to punch them for not realizing how badly you spiral.
Duckling:
Sorry
I’m just mad
This is how I cope
Fetus:
you didn’t deserve it
stop acting like you did
Duckling:
Ehhhhh
Fetus:
Ehhhh?
Tf you mean ehhhh?
You didn’t
I’m glad they realized they were wrong and are apologizing even if they’re too fucking late.
Duckling:
Did they though? :/
Idk
It’s not worth ignoring them
They’re just gonna keep seeing me around
I’m tired dude
I don’t want to have to worry about them too
I’m so scared that they’re only doing this now
And then the minute I get comfortable again
They’re going to decide I’ve done something else wrong and I’ll have to go through this again
I’m so fucking terrified about this
Fetus:
I’d like to offer a solution:
Cut! Them! Out!
Duckling:
That takes too much energy
I’m just
I’ll treat them like classmates
Cuz they are
But they obviously don’t wanna be my friends
And maybe they’re pretending now for some reason I can’t figure out but
I’m not gonna fall for it
I’m not doing this again. I don’t want to force them to be friends with me
And that’s fine
I’m glad I learned this now, at least
Fetus:
Okay hear me out
You could NOT do that
And I can punch them
I have 6 punches ready
Your fists may be tiny but I have dad’s hands
I’m ready to use them to deck six dicks
Duckling:
Why are you so filled with rage
Fetus:
I take after you
Duckling:
Tf I’m not angry
Fetus:
Sure you are
You take after mom
She’s scary
Duckling:
She’s an angel
Fetus:
Of course YOU would say that 👀
Whatever
I have an appointment to see an advisor at your school by the way
To get my dorm assignment and class schedule and all that fun stuff
We’re still sharing right?
Duckling:
Yeah I put the paperwork in last week
I’m fucking done with jaegyu
Fetus:
Kk
Can you drive me there please
Mom probably won’t let me take the car by myself
And I won’t want to bring dad
Duckling:
I literally
Don’t have a car
Fetus:
…I’ll convince dad to let me drive then
Duckling:
You can stay in my dorm!!!
Fetus:
Or!!!
We could NOT stay in the same room as your dickhead roommate!!!
And YOU can stay with ME in my hotel room I’m booking!!
Duckling:
☹
Stop spending money
Fetus:
Dad told me to get the room
He said not to bother you in college
Duckling:
Lmao they know you’re a pest
Fetus:
Lmao it’s funny how you think I don’t know how much you love me <3

Duckling:
Taehyung apologized to me again
In person this time
Fetus:
What?
Duckling:
I ran into him in the dining hall
He apologized again
Fetus:
What happened? What did he do?
Like
Exactly what he did
Duckling:
He just sat down at the table with me with his food
It was stupid
And he apologized
Told me he was an asshole
Fetus:
He is
Duckling:
Yeah
He said that and he kept apologizing
And he cried
And I felt bad because he was crying but like
He didn’t
I
This is going to sound really petty but like
He didn’t care when I cried?
So
Kjsfhlkjsdgh
I don’t know ji
I feel weird
He’s acting like he cares again
Fetus:
…I hate to say this
But maybe he does?
Just a little?
He seemed like the least despicable one
Duckling:
No
He just feels guilty probably
Idk
Idk what his reasoning is but he apologized
And cried
He kept asking me if we could be friends again
Fetus:
What did you say?
Duckling:
I said okay
Cuz I’m stupid
And he was crying
I don’t like this
I’m too stupid to not be nice
Fetus:
Jimin
Duckling:
Tears, ji! Tears!
I feel bad
So I said okay
But like
Idk it’s dumb but I miss tae
And everyone makes mistakes right?
I just
Won’t be so stupid anymore
I can be his friend and keep my distance
Fetus:
What do you mean?
Duckling:
He doesn’t need to know anything personal about me
Like work friends
I miss him
Fetus:
He was a dick
Duckling:
Yeah
But
Idk
Idk we’ll see how this goes I just
I miss my bestfriend here
And he cried
So he’s gotta feel a little bad right?
I can work with pity
Fetus:
I respect your decision (but I still think you should cut them out)
But if he fucks up again
I’m going to personally kick him
Duckling:
I’m kind of anxious
Actually maybe this is a bad idea I should just
Fetus:
No
Stop
Stop that
You’re doing that thing where you spiral again
Just
Okay I can’t believe I’m saying this but
If you really want to be friends with them again
And they’re really trying to apologize
Maybe…see how it plays out?
It’s the end of the term
My visit is next week with the advisor
And I can see if they’re being sincere
And if they aren’t I’ll help you keep them away
Duckling:
Why are you suddenly telling me to be friends with them?
Fetus:
Because
You’re lonely
And they made you happy
And as shitty as they are
As much as I hate them
They made you happy
So
Akjfhdslkjghergjlvef I feel stupid now too this might blow up in your face
Duckling:
Wow thanks for the vote of confidence
Fetus:

Maybe this entire thing was really a misunderstanding and they aren’t completely fucking pompous assholes
Duckling:

Fetus:

Duckling:

Taehyung was the only one I was thinking about trying again with but I don’t know anymore
I don’t know what’s happening or why they’re suddenly being nice to me again
I don’t like not knowing what they’re planning

1:56PM FRIDAY 4 MAY
[Private Chat: “Mochi Squad”]
Fetus:
I’m here!
Duckling:
I just got out of class I’m coming
Fetus:
Hurryyyyyy
Duckling:
I’m running
[“Explain Yourselves”]
Brat:
Hey um
I just saw jimin running past the square…
Do you think he’s okay?
Yoongi:
Who fucking knows
Brat:
…I’m going to follow him and see if he’s okay
Jin:
Honestly, with how bad yoongi said the bullies were, that might not be a terrible idea
He might be in trouble
Brat:
I’m checking
2:11PM FRIDAY 4 MAY
Brat:
Um
I have an update
Joon:
go on?
Is he okay?
Brat:
I um
Yoongi-hyung?
Yoongi:
What
Brat:
…um
Nevermind
It’s not my business what jimin does
Yoongi:
Correct
But is he alright? Is he safe? That’s our business. His safety
Brat:
Yes
He’s fine
He’s with a friend I think
They’re hugging and laughing
Yoongi:
Oh
Good
That’s good
I’m glad he has someone
Brat:
Shit
They saw me
Joon:
What did they do?
Brat:
Jimin-hyung stopped laughing and he pulled the other guy away into the building
Um
I don’t think the other guy knows me?
Joon:
Do you recognize him?
Jin:
I’m going to cut in here and ask why we’re spying on jimin
We confirmed he’s safe
Brat:
I’m not
I just
He was running
Jin:
And now we’ve confirmed he’s okay
We should give him the space he needs to spend time with people that make him happy
Right now, it isn’t us.
We shouldn’t be invading where he feels safe
Yoongi:
Way to rub it in
Jin:
I’m trying not to be blinded by my own prejudice anymore
And being the reasonable one
I’m trying to think about what he would want and how to respect him after disrespecting every decision he has made up to this point. I’ve done a bad job at it
It’s not about what I want
Jimin has a right to be happy
We shouldn’t intrude on that
Brat:
Should I leave then?
Tae:
Yeah
This isn’t the time for him to see us
He’s happy and we should let him be after how shit he’s been having it
Come on
We’ll go get coffee
And come up with a plan
Brat:
Okay
Hyung?
Yoongi hyung?
Yoongi:
What?
Brat:
Do you want to come too?
I’ll pay…
Yoongi:
Not today Jungkook
I’m not up for socializing today
Brat:
Okay
Okay um I can bring you something back?
Yoongi:
Americano
Tae:
Got it
Namjoon?? You coming too?
Joon:
I was invited?
Tae:
Don’t you automatically tag along with kook?
Joon:
We spend time apart
Brat:
Can you come too?
Joon:
Yeah I’ll meet you guys there
I’m finishing up at the library right now
Brat:
Thank you <3
I love you
Joon:
I love you too, kook <3
Tae:
Gross
Yoongi:
Yep
3:23PM FRIDAY 4 MAY
Tae:
SOS SOS SOS
Jin:
WHAT HAPPENED
Hobi:
WHO DIED
TALK TO ME
TAEHYUNG
JUNGKOOK???
NAMJOON!!
OH MY GOD THEY’RE FUCKING DEAD
Jin:
WHERE ARE YOU WHO DO I NEED TO KILL
TAEHYUNG ANSWER ME
Tae:
JIMIN IS IN THE CAFÉ
HE’S GETTING COFFEE WITH THE STRANGE DUDE
HE HASN’T SEEN US YET AND I WANT TO LEAVE BUT I ALSO DON’T WANT HIM TO SEE US WHAT DO
HE SAW US
Yoongi:
Fuck
Brat:
Jimin just tried to leav
Strange dude grabbed him and made him stay
Hobi:
Um okay I know we were dicks and I have no right to be annoyed but wtf is that guy doing forcing jimin to stay anywhere
Jin:
Murder is on my mind
Hobi:
Tae
Update
Cmon
Tae:
Strange guy is apparently named Jihyun
He calls jimin “hyung” so they know each other really well
Fuck
Brat:
He hates us
Tae:
Hates us a lot yes indeed
Hobi:
Who is he?
What happened?
Yoongi:
That’s jimin’s brother
Jin:
Jimin’s
Brother
Jimin has a brother
Joon:
I’ve never felt so intimidated by a child before
I’ve met less intimidating gang members
Jin:
WHAT DID HE DO?!
STOP BEING CRYPTIC
HOW OLD IS THIS CHILD?
IS JIMIN OKAY?
Brat:
He’s my age, I think
He doesn’t like us
(He hates us, actually)
Jimin recognized us and he was going to leave but this jihyun grabbed his arm and made him stay
And then he asked jimin what was wrong cuz hyung wanted coffee apparently and he was smiling and dopey at first
but jimin didn’t say anything and then jihyun was glaring at our table suddenly
and it was scary he wasn’t smiling anymore and he looked intimidating
Tae:
I got chills down my spine
He has so much rage in his eyes
I felt like I was looking into the face of vengeance
Wrath personified
Hobi:
Yikes
What happened?
Did he hurt you?
Joon:
I spilled my coffee cuz he scared me
And jimin looked at us again and I said hi
Cuz I’m stupid
Yoongi:
Jfc namjoon
Joon:
I’m sorry ☹
I was trying to like
Sit still and not make a scene and wait for them to leave so we wouldn’t bother them but the kid glared at me and he’s terrifying hyung
I jumped cuz he took a step towards our table and my elbow hit my coffee and then I was wearing it
Yoongi:
Once
Just once
I would like it if you didn’t risk injury during important moments
Joon:
☹
Jin:
WHAT HAPPENED NEXT
Tae:
Well
Jimin said hi to us from his spot in line
And said our names
And Jihyun looked like he was getting more and more angry with each of us when he heard who we were and uh
Brat:
Jimin said hi to me and said my name and his brother looked like he was ready to punch me
But he didn’t
He um
He kind of yelled at me though
…I deserved that
Tae:
He was a bit harsh though
He didn’t have to be so mean
Especially in public like that
Brat:
So was i
On jimin
Joon:
He wasn’t happy with us
Jimin told him what happened, I think
…I’m actually really glad he had someone to talk to though
And that someone is angry on his behalf that he trusts
Yoongi:
What did jihyun say to you?
Tae:
Same thing you said to us
Just
Meaner
Basically called us assholes and hypocrites and he kind of really dug into Jungkook, specifically
Brat:
It’s fine
Tae:
Joon didn’t like it
Joon:
Would you like some stranger making your boyfriend cry?
Didn’t think so
Yoongi:
Kook, you okay?
Brat:
..I’m fine
I’m okay, really it’s not a big deal
I deserved what he said I know I was wrong
I’m glad someone is defending him
Yoongi:
Kook, are you lying about being okay?
Because we all fucking suck at communication and I don’t want this to be another suppressed thing we don’t talk about that ends up blowing up in our faces again
Brat:
Okay I’m a little upset but it’s fine
I can handle getting yelled at
Like you said, if I’m going to be mean, I should handle getting people be mean back
It’s not like jimin-hyung will yell at me
Tae:
He was still rude
Jimin tried to shut him up though
Ended up dragging him out of the coffee shop
He actually came back and apologized for his brother’s behavior…
Jin:
…well now I feel even more guilty for what we did
He keeps being nice to us and I can’t say we deserve it
Tae:
…yeah
But um
Good news?
Yoongi:
Good news?
Tae:
Yeah
Kooks apologized to Jimin before he took off after his brother
Like sincere
And jimin didn’t completely brush him off
And kook asked if they could sit down and talk sometime when Jimin has time
He didn’t flat out refuse??
Good sign??
Yoongi:
Maybe
Jimin is rarely confrontational
Are you guys still at the coffee shop?
Joon:
Yep
Yoongi:
Bring me my coffee
I’m gonna be pulling an all nighter
Brat:
Okay
Can I hang out a little?
Yoongi:
Yeah
We need to talk anyway
Notes:
Come yell at me on twitter !
I almost didn't post this tonight because I literally just impulse got a new piercing and it's throbbing so I just want to sleep it off.
BUT!! I've managed to keep a consistent schedule so far and I would hate to break it over a decorative hole in my body! (For those of you wondering, I got a Double Helix. Can you figure out my inspiration? :3 )
Chapter 29: Sorry, I'm Busy
Summary:
Taehyungie:
You probably won’t see this but
I just wanted to apologize again
And tell you that I miss you and I’m sorry for being a shitty friend
Notes:
Midnight is the best time for deep, important conversations. Everyone is so much more honest when they're in the hands of sleep deprivation and I'm going to milk that late night cow as much as I can <3

SDKJGH GUYS
JIMIN IS TYPING HE’S NOT IGNORING ME ANYMORE
[Private Chat: “soulmates r’us”]
Mochimin:
It’s okay taehyung
You don’t have to keep apologizing
Taehyungie:
You called me taehyung… ☹
You’re still upset with me
Mochimin:
I’m fine
Can you tell the others that I’m sorry for what happened in the coffee shop?
Taehyungie:
Yes
Of cours
actually no
Jimin you don’t have to apologize
You didn’t even do anything
And even if you did you would have been justified because we were really nasty to you and mean and you have every right to be mad at us
In fact please go off on us if it’ll help make you feel even slightly better we really feel shitty for how shitty we were to you
Mochimin:
please just tell them
Taehyungie:
Are you upset with us?
Sorry that was dumb, of course you are
You have every right to be
We fucked up
I’m sorry
Mochimin:
Please stop apologizing
It’s fine
Taehyungie:
It’s not fine
We were dicks
And we didn’t listen to you
I know I already apologized in person but I’m going to keep doing it until I fix this
I was a really bad friend to you and I want to fix it, if you let me
Please
I miss you Jimin ☹
Mochimin:
There’s nothing to fix
I’m fine
Taehyungie:
No you’re not
I may have sucked as a friend but I know you jimin
You aren’t okay
Mochimin:
I wasn’t okay before either but that didn’t matter
Taehyungie:

Mochimin:
Forget it

7:21AM SATURDAY 5 MAY
[“Explain Yourselves”]
Hobi:
WHAT WAS HE SAYING
TAEHYUNG
IS HE OKAY?!
Yoongi:
is he in trouble? It was really late when he texted you
is he okay?
Brat:
Hyung?
It’s been hours and you haven’t answered at all what is going on?
Jin:
Kim taehyung I swear if you don’t answer me before the day is over I will personally rip everything in your closet
And then spit in all of your paints
V:
Jesus
I’m here
I was talking to him
Joon:
Is he okay?
V:
I don’t know
He wanted me to tell you that he’s sorry for what happened at the coffee shop
Yoongi:
Of course he did
I fucking told you
V:
And I was gonna agree with him but then I remembered that he has nothing to apologize for
And I told him that
I told him that we hurt him and he didn’t have to apologize and he tried to brush me off
and then I called him and I apologized and I kind of cried because it felt so different from before
and he was mostly quiet but when I asked him to honestly tell me if he was mad at us, he hesitated a lot before he said no
he lied to me ☹
I asked him how much we hurt him and he kind of choked up and changed the subject
he didn’t answer any of my questions about him directly but he didn’t hang up on me and he accepted my apology
it’s so different hyung it didn’t even feel like I was talking to minie
he’s so subdued but he didn’t hang up on me
I think it’s a start?
Yoongi:
Yeah
Yeah actually it is
Thank you
V:
I didn’t do anything
I’m just
You were right
I was an asshole
And I shouldn’t have played favorites
And yeah you’re a dick and I’ve been treating you like you’ll break if I call you out and you’re right. You make mistakes
And it was a dick move of me to claim all this shit about jimin being my bestfriend and then turning on him
I didn’t think I was turning on him at the time though, which is so stupid, because that’s exactly what I did? I let rumors cloud my judgement and didn’t let him explain himself and I brushed him off when he was reaching out like we encouraged him to. I didn’t even realize how shitty I was being to him until recently, either, which is worse
I suck
I wanna fix it
I miss him ☹
Joon:
I think we’re going to have a big emotional moment here
but I was thinking about it, and you’re right
yoongi
Yoongi:
what?
Joon:
You were right
I made a mistake in immediately blaming him
I’m supposed to be the logical one, and the moment it counted I let my overprotectiveness of you get in my way
I was too used to always being correct, and I was blinded by how distressed Kook was at the thought of you getting hurt, and then at the thought of you spiraling back to how you used to be at your lowest point, and I let it go too far. I should’ve taken a step back from the situation that was spiraling and deescalated it before it got that far.
And I’m going to tell jimin this the next time I see him so he knows that he wasn’t to blame. Even if he doesn’t want to be our friend anymore, or see us, he deserves an honest apology and to know that he didn’t mess up
Yoongi:
…
Not that I’m not happy you’re getting your shit together
But what brought this on?
If this is guilt fueled, I don’t think you should be going near him, either
Joon:
Of course it’s guilt fueled, hyung
I’m guilty that I hurt a friend
The guilt made me reflect on my actions, and I realized how in the wrong I was. You know my biggest problem is not accepting failure or that I’m wrong—I was holding onto the idea that I must be right about my assumptions, and that the only way to keep everything alright was to prevent something I didn’t even need to prevent, and I didn’t stop to consider that people aren’t simple and I’m not always right. And maybe guilt triggered me into this thought process, but if I hadn’t been so adamant about being right about jimin and his intentions, then I might’ve been able to stop this
Brat:
Hyung
Joon:
Hush, kook
I’m just as guilty as you are
If not more
I put the idea into your head
Brat:
I took it too far
Joon:
I didn’t stop it
We’re both to blame
I’m going to apologize to him
Yoongi:
I can’t say I’m disappointed by this
I’m glad you finally pulled your head out of your ass, joon
You too, tae
Anyone else have realizations?
Hobi:
I let the professor know in dance that I’ve been treating Jimin unfairly
Jin:
Hobi?!
Hobi:
It was the right thing to do
I’m supposed to be impartial
I still have my position, but I’m not allowed to assess jimin at the end of the semester
The instructor will personally see Jimin’s abilities
I’m going to apologize to him, too, since I took it even further and took out my frustrations on him in class
I wish I could say I didn’t realize I was doing it, but i knew I was mad at him and my actions reflected that anger. It was unfair and unprofessional
So I’m going to apologize, too
Yoongi:
Jin?
Jin:
For the record, it’s stupid that I’m having to type this out here but we’re in a sharing circle apparently and yoongi is right that we seem to have a problem with communication so
I’m also feeling guilty for hurting jimin. I didn’t protect him from us, and that was my mistake. I don’t know him as well as I wish I did, so I’m not sure the extent of the harm pushing him away will do, but I’m going to apologize and try to make things right. I shouldn’t have ignored his distress in favor of yours.
Brat:
I um
I’m going to try to apologize to him next time
Better
And explain everything
Yoongi:
Jungkook
I don’t want you feeding him excuses for your behavior
We’re all taking responsibility
Brat:
No
I’m not going to
I promise
I’m writing it out and I’m making joon read it and I want to send it to you too so I don’t say the wrong thing
I promise I’m going to fix this
Yoongi:
Well
Took you fuckers long enough
V:
Are you still mad at us
Yoongi:
No
Okay yes
But I’m mad at myself too
But you’re my friends
And friends stick together and fix the shit they fucked up
So
V:
You do love us after all :’)
Yoongi:
Don’t get used to it
Brat:

Joon:

Yoongi:

Hobi:
So I have met the brother
And you were right
He scares me
V:
I TOLD YOU
HE’S SCARY
Brat:
Did he yell at you too?
Hobi:
kinda
He ambushed me in the stairwell
Got in my face about being a bully
And a hypocrite
(also how is he tall,,,but jimin is so small?)
Yoongi:
I’m not gonna lie I’m kind of happy jimin has someone to go on the war path for him
Did you see him?
Hobi:
Yeah
He showed up right the brother was getting scary
For real he looked like he was either going to punch me, push me off the stairs, or threaten to bury my body alive
Or all three
But like he was calm about it
Scary calm
Like he already played through every scenario and knew without an ounce of doubt that nobody would catch him
He didn’t even yell and I was intimidated?
Explain that?
Brat:
He’s full of righteous anger at us
And feeding off of our guilty feelings
I feel like most of his intimidation factor is that we’re already guilty and he’s reminding us of why
Jin:
That’s a great explanation actually wow
Jungkook can be smart?
Brat:
Ha ha
Hobi:
Anyway
Jimin stopped him before he hurt me
And apologized and scolded the brother
And then I apologized to him
He tried to brush me off too but I kept going and he got really quiet afterwards and in the tiniest voice he said ‘thank you’ and then left
I feel so bad ☹
I hurt him bad
Brat:
I’m sorry
Hobi:
It’s okay kook
We all went along with it
You weren’t forcing us to act like that to jimin—we did that
Yoongi:
Hoseok
You can’t keep telling him he hasn’t done anything wrong
Jin:
You’re sounding like his father
Yoongi:
I’m practically his brother.
Brat:
Please stop
I was wrong and hyung is right
Nobody stopped me and that encouraged me
I just want to fix this
Yoongi:
See?
He’s growing up
I’ve stopped coddling him for this short of time and he’s already thinking his age and taking responsibility for his actions
I’m a great fucking brother
Brat:
Please don’t say it like that
I’m not a kid
Yoongi:
You sure as shit acted like one
Brat:
…alright fair

Brat:
Um
Sleepy Hyung:
Am I wrong?
Brat:
No? but now I don’t want to bring you coffee??
If anything I should be bringing Jimin coffee and apologizing again

You’re an overachiever
Do both
Apologize to him and bring me coffee

No, coffee first
It’s gonna be a long chat

Jin-hyung is mad at you?

Yes and no
He’s mad at me and himself for not stepping in and deescalating before things got this bad and then he’s projecting that onto me
I guess you got that from jin-hyung

Sorry, gguk that was too far
I shouldn’t have said that
Ggukie:
It’s okay
It’s true

I’m sorry
Ggukie:

I know we messed it up
I should have kept my mouth shut and let yoongi handle everything
I should have listening to the others when they told me to stop before it got this far
Monie:
I shouldn’t have encouraged you
Ggukie:
Jin-hyung needs to apologize too
And hobi-hyung
Yoongi-hyung was right when he got mad at us
How do we fix it?
Monie:
Apologizing
Admitting we were wrong and growing from it
Using this as an experience we learn from and making sure to never do it again.
Ggukie:
All I learned is that I fucked up and that I'm a mean person
and i hurt my friend and it feels awful
Monie:
…can I ask a question?
Ggukie:
Always <3
Monie:
Okay <3
Why were you so set on believing that jimin couldn’t change?
I know why I played along
But why you?
We were in the same situation
And I see that now
So, my real question is, what made yoongi and jimin's situation different from ours?
Ggukie:
…promise not to hate me
Monie:
It can’t be that bad, right?
Ggukie:
Promise me
Please
I need to know you won’t hate me for this
i love you too much to lose you please promise me
Monie:
Okay
I promise <3
Ggukie:
Don’t text until I finish
I need to get it out before you type
Monie:
Okay
Ggukie:
I fucked up twice because I slept around. I fucked up with Yoongi because I was too terrified to commit to anything. I fucked up with you because I didn’t want to think that I felt anything for you on the chance that you didn’t love me. I knew you were open to having fuckbuddies from what I heard on campus, and I jumped on that, and I still regret letting us meet that way
I wish I could go back and do it right
And take you on dates and make you fall in love with me the way it should have been and hold your hand before I held your dick and not made you feel like we would only ever be fuck buddies
But we fucked and kept doing it because it was fun and I was just another person who couldn’t commit to anything while you were amazing. You had a future in music production, you were talented, gorgeous, and so out of my league I didn’t think I would ever be able to get anything more in life than what I had. I resigned to being a blip in time for you. It was stupid to think you’d like me, because nobody gets successful from film and dance. Nobody. I would have been holding you back
Remember when we fell apart from our fwb arrangement? When I bolted after you told me you wanted to date me? That you got feelings for me? You were so relaxed and you had so much faith that I loved you, and I did, I loved you so much, but I didn’t want to admit it, and I ran off. I kept sleeping around because I was afraid of committing to you
I was trying to forget you with everyone else to convince myself that it didn't feel wrong and it hurt because I couldn’t forget you at all. And then I heard from the hyungs that you knew I was sleeping around, and that you would cry in your studio listening to the cover we did and that you missed me
You were crying because I didn’t know how to commit to someone. I loved you. I really did, but I was terrified to commit and date and it hurt you. I hurt you so badly and i still hate myself for it.
I loved yoongi (as a brother of course) but I confused that platonic affection for something romantic, and it scared me, so I hurt him too.
I hurt both of you because I treated you like you were disposable and not like you were important to me
And hearing that something similar was happening to Jimin made me remember all of that. It made me remember hurting you with my shit, and hurting yoongi with my shit, and how guilty I felt for hurting you both
And I didn’t want anyone to hurt
I didn’t want yoongi to feel used again, and I didn’t want Jimin to realize how badly he had fucked up with yoongi and feel that self hatred I felt
And I made it worse
I wanted to keep them just friends so that they didn’t keep an attachment
Sex is all fun and games until you get attached and they were getting so so attached so fast. I know myself, and I know jimin, and I know it would have scared him. I know it would scare yoongi if they slept together.
I was trying to keep everything from falling apart like it did with us. I thought I was helping them, and that it would be better in the end if nobody had to struggle. I thought I was doing the right thing
But I fucked it up
I was being selfish
And I thought I could control things out of my control
I’m sorry
You can type now
I’m sorry
Monie:
Jeon Jungkook
First of all
Thank you for telling me this. I didn’t realize what had happened was still affecting you to this extent, and I’m sorry about that
And we definitely need to sit down and talk about this some more because it isn’t healthy for that guilt to keep festering in you like this
That said:
You need to stop living in the past
You’re young, but you’re living your life dwelling on things from the past and you're letting them overtake you
You hurt me back then, yes, but we fixed it. We sat down, and we talked, and we took it slow because I understood your anxieties.
I shouldn’t have planted the idea in your head. I think I was projecting the insecurities I felt about you from back then onto Jimin, too, and that was also a mistake.
We both need to apologize and make things better, but we also need to change our behavior. I need to realize that there are opinions and actions outside of myself and learn to listen to them. You need to stop letting your guilt over your past actions rule your current ones. And we both need to stop projecting our insecurities onto people
We owe Jimin a huge apology
Ggukie:
Yeah
I’m going to
I don’t know how but I will
Monie:
We’ll find a way
Let’s go get Yoongi his coffee, okay? You and i can talk more about this later, and put these guilts to rest. Spend the night?
Ggukie:
Okay <3
Do you hate me?
Monie:
I promised I wouldn’t
I love you <3 Even if you’re a dumbass
Ggukie:
…You’re literally a himbo
Monie:
YOU BITE YOUR TONGUE
Ggukie:
Lmao <3 meet me at the coffee shop on campus
Hurry! I miss your dumb face
Monie:
I take back everything I said, I hate you
Ggukie:
☹
Monie:
Fine I miss you too
Ggukie:
😊
Notes:
Yoonmin are interacting again!! Yay! And ta-da! We finally get a better understanding of why Jungkook was so quick to jump on the bandwagon of keeping everyone separate. Were his actions justified? Probably not, but I hope you guys can see now his reasons behind everything!!
Come yell at me on twitter !
Chapter 31: Park Jihyun Packs A Mean Punch
Summary:
Fetus:
…Jungkook apologized?Duckling:
I guess so
Notes:
(See the end of the chapter for notes.)
Chapter Text
10:32PM SATURDAY 5 MAY
[Private Chat: “Mochi Squad”]
Duckling:
Park Jihyun.
What the fuck did you do.
Fetus:
…
Well you see 😅
It’s a funny story!
Duckling:
Don’t fucking joke about this.
You punched Jungkook, in front of at least 15 people.
What the actual fuck were you thinking?
Fetus:
Oh
You’re MAD mad
Um
I didn’t think you’d be this mad
And I didn’t think there’d be that many people out this late….
Ducking:
It’s the weekend, Jihyun. Who isn’t out.
Tell me what the fuck made you think it would be okay to punch him.
Fetus:
He hurt you
Duckling:
So?
A lot of people hurt me, Jihyun. You haven’t punched them. You didn’t punch Namjoon.
Why the fuck did you punch Jungkook.
Fetus:
…
Hyung
Please don’t be mad at me
Duckling:
Too fucking late
Do you know what you did, Ji?
You punched the golden fucking child
Hoseok, Yoongi, Jin, Tae, and Namjoon baby this kid.
He’s their favorite
They spoil him.
And now he probably has a black eye or a split lip or something
And he hates me so much he’s going to tell them that I did it, not you
And then the peace is going to be broken and Hoseok is probably going to fail me
Fetus:
…I didn’t think about that
Duckling:
I know you didn’t.
I told you to let me handle it.
I told you to drop it.
Fetus:
Can you please come back?
I’m sorry
I didn’t mean to ruin things for you
Hyung, please come back
It’s been hours
Are you still on your campus?
Please, I’m sorry ☹
Duckling:
I’m fixing things.
Stop throwing punches.
And fucking listen to me next time.
Fetus:
What do you mean you’re fixing things?
Jimin?
Duckling:
What do you think it means, Ji?
I’m apologizing before he tells the others.
Fetus:
You shouldn’t apologize
I threw the punch
Duckling:
Yeah
But who knows what he’ll say
He thought I was using Yoongi as an easy lay
Who fucking knows how he’ll read this situation
Just
Stay there
I’ll be back later
Unblock Jungkookie?
Yes No
[“The Young Ones”]
Chimmy:
Hey
Are you home?
Tata:
Yes! Are you coming over?
Chimmy:
Is Jungkook there?
Tata:
Not if you don’t want him to be
Chimmy:
No, I need to see him
Is he there?
Jungkook? Are you there?
Cooky:
Yes! I’m here
Sorry
Was getting ice
Are you coming over?
Chimmy:
I’m outside
Let me in please
12:50AM SUNDAY 6 MAY
[Private Chat: “Mochi Squad”]
Duckling:
I’m coming back
Fetus:
Are you okay?
What happened?
Duckling:
I’m fine
I’ll explain better when I get home
I went to the dorm Jungkook shares with Taehyung. He was icing his jaw, and he didn’t look happy
I apologized
And he got mad
So I apologized again and then he apologized and started saying some weird stuff
He had a paper apparently, all written out
He told me he was going to read from it so he didn’t fuck up his words again
He had this big, stupid apology ready and told me that he deserved to get punched
And I kept trying to apologize and leave but Taehyung started apologizing too
Again
So I ran out of there
Fetus:
…Jungkook apologized?
Duckling:
I guess so
Fetus:
Did you accept it?
Duckling:
I don’t know
He seemed sincere
Fetus:
…but?
Duckling:
But he hates me
and he makes me anxious
If I accept him as a friend again, he’s only going to be watching and scrutinizing my every move, at best
At worst, he’s going to turn everyone against me again
I’m back
Open the door
I left my room key
[Private Chat: “Skewer Squad”]
Brat:
I won’t be able to come after all
I’m sorry
Something came up
Sleepy Hyung:
Are you okay? You never cancel on me
Brat:
Yes
Something just came up, I swear
I’m sorry ☹
We can all talk another time, I promise!
[Private Chat: “LOML”]
Ggukie:
Joonie ☹
My face hurts
Monie:
☹ Come over?
Ggukie:
No ☹ I don’t want Jin to know
He’ll get defensive
It’s bad enough that Tae knows about it
Monie:
Can I come over then?
You made me go back but I want to come back ☹ You said you’d spend the night
Ggukie:
You can come over
I’m sorry
Tae said Jimin was coming over
I had to apologize
Monie:
His brother punched you though >:(
Ggukie:
Yeah
But you didn’t see Jimin’s expression
He looked scared
When his brother threw the punch at, I saw that Jimin looked scared
And he kept yelling at him after
Pushed him away from us and yelled at him to go back, remember?
And then I saw him when you were helping me back up
He was shaking
Like he was genuinely scared
Monie:
He apologized to me before we left
You heard right?
Ggukie:
Yeah
And then he came over to my dorm to do it again
I got to apologize to him though
If I had to get a bruise to get the chance to fix this, then so be it
I don’t think he forgave me, but I’m going to fix it
The right way
Monie:
Guess it’s my turn to apologize, huh?
I’m proud of you Ggukie
You’re making responsible decisions <3
Ggukie:
I’m trying my best <3
Come over now
My face is throbbing
He knows how to punch
Owie
Monie:
On my way
I’ll bring pain relievers
Ggukie:
You’re an angel
Notes:
TO THOSE WHO WERE ROOTING FOR PARK JIHYUN TO DECK SOMEONE ACROSS THE FACE: I OFFER YOU THIS CHAPTER!
Remember! Violence doesn't actually solve any problems, no matter how satisfying it can feel. Always make sure to communicate!
That said...
GO JIHYUN!!!
Come yell at me on twitter !
