āwhy is it so quiet?ā
jeongguk steps inside the apartment, scanning the whole room with his mouth slightly ajar. when jimin sent him a text, saying that heās probably dying, he thought jimin was just being a dramatic after his break up with his ugly ass ex.
ābecause the world is mourning my loss.ā jeongguk turns and follows the voice, inching towards the couch.
jiminās sprawled on the floor beside the couch, limbs spread out like a starfish, and hair fanned out around his head like a halo. jeongguk couldnāt help but smile at the scene before him. jiminās probably feeling miserable right now, but jeongguk thinks he looks like an angel. he looks so perfect.
āyour loss? hyung, it was his, not yours! heās so stupid for cheating on you. he doesnāt even know what heās missing out. hyung, youāre wonderful, amazing, perfect. he doesnāt deserve you! fuck, no one deserves you! youāre just ā ā
āgguk-ah, i appreciate your words, but shut up, iām trying to process my emotions and youāre not helping.ā jeongguk feels his whole face burn at that. dammit, he thinks, he let his mouth take control again.
jeongguk shifts his weight, biting his lips to keep himself from pouring out his feelings. itās such a bad timing to confess to your best friend when said best friend just broke up with his ex and needs someone who can provide him comfort. jeongguk will always put jiminās feelings first. heās always been the youngerās priority.
āhyung,ā he starts as he steps closer to jimin. when jeongguk reaches the elder, he nudges jiminās side with his foot to urge him to stand up, only to get ignored. ācāmon, when life gives you lemons, you gotta make some fucking lemonade.ā
jimin snorts, still unmoving, but a hint of smile appears on his lips.
āyou love lemonade, right?ā
jeongguk heads to the kitchen, shuffling around until he finds the juicer. when he looks up, jiminās already across the counter. a melancholic aura surrounds him, heās watching the younger, gaze overflowing with sorrow.
jeongguk just wants to pull jimin into his arms and whisper soothing words in his ears. he wants to reassure jimin that it wasnāt his fault. he wants to erase every disgusting word dokyeom planted in jiminās brain after the break up. but seeing the fragile state of jimin, jeongguk could only sigh, afraid that he himself might be the first one to breakdown.
āwill you get the lemons please?ā
jimin shuffles to the refrigerator and draws out one lemon. jeongguk gestures to pass him the lemon and jimin did, timidly.
ācan you give me more?ā
āmore?ā the sudden change in jiminās tone makes jeonggukās head shoot up quickly. he stares at his hyung in mild confusion, unsure of what to say. āyou want more?ā
jeongguk was about to answer him when jimin pulls out more lemons and starts throwing them at the younger. āthen take it, take all of it! i donāt care anymore!ā he continues throwing lemons at jeongguk, who was screaming in panic while dodging the fucking lemons. where did all of those even come from?
the kitchen is filled with screams and shrieks of jeongguk and consecutive yells of expletives of jimin. jeongguk ducks down. āhyung, stop! if you donāt want your lemonade too sour, then fucking tell me! no nee ā oww! fuck!ā
āyou want it? take it! fucking take it, jeon jeongguk!ā more lemons fly around the kitchen. seriously, where the fuck are they coming from?
looking around, jeongguk tries to find a way to escape his very chaotic and emotionally unstable best friend. counting down, he dashes towards the living room, jumping over the couch like a freakinā action star and hiding behind it.
ājimin hyung, stāā two lemons hit his face. āhow come youāre not running out of fucking lemons?!ā
a few minutes passed before silence takes over the whole apartment. a little reluctant, because jimin might be waiting for him to fall for his trap, jeongguk slowly peeks through the side of the couch, eyes frantically searching for jimin. when he sees no sign of his hyung, he cautiously pushes himself up from the floor, stance automatically set in a fight mode just in case more lemons fly towards him.
āhyung?ā he calls out, alert.
upon hearing the voice, jeongguk turns around as his gut tells him that heāll get hit again and he was right. a lemon appears in his line of sight. with a dramatic yell, jeongguk slaps it away, position falling into a fight mode again. he waits for another lemon, but he only hears a snicker from his left.
āwhat a loser,ā jeongguk hears jimin mumble. he whirls around, eyes landing on jiminās slumped form in a corner. he has his knees pulled up against his chest, chin resting on his knees.
jeonggukās heart stills at the sight of his best friend. jimin looks exhausted. he looks paler than usual, palpable bags under his eyes are very much evident, and the usual glow he has is gone. the break up must have really taken a toll on him, and jeonggukās not giving him the love and comfort he needs. what a horrible best friend.
ājimin-ah,ā jeongguk moves closer, kneeling in front of jimin when he reaches the latter. jeongguk places on hand on jiminās knees, the other lifting up to cup jiminās right cheek, which, jeongguk noticed, is stained with dried tears. jimin nuzzles his face into jeonggukās palm, seeking comfort.
he rubs jiminās cheek with his thumb gently, eyes never leaving jiminās face.
ācāmon, hyung, letās get you to bed,ā jeongguk whispers softly, fingers tapping jiminās knees. āweāll cuddle while binge-watching all three seasons of haikyuu, alright?ā
the corners of jiminās lips lift up upon hearing his words. he wraps his arms around jeonggukās neck and pulls him into an embrace. jeongguk embarrassingly shudders, face heating up when he feels jiminās lips pressed against his skin as the elder whispers.
āthank you for always being here for me, gguk-ah. hyung promises that heāll be there for you too. i love you, gguk-ah.ā
