Mountain House, June 2065

Jimin was looking at his phone and at the unexpected message. When he texted half an hour ago he didn't expect to get an answer. He was just sulky and sad, pressing random apps to get his mind off depressing thoughts.

SUGA: I'm alive...

What should he reply now?

CHIMISLOVE: Sorry, hyung...

CHIMISLOVE: I didn't intend to bother you🥺🥺...

SUGA: It's been a year, right?

CHIMISLOVE: A fucked up year... yeah...

SUGA: Same.

Jimin was wondering what he should say now... The chat seemed dry. And that guy was never talkative... He started to type a goodnight message, not wanting to prolong the awkwardness, when the unexpected happened.

A new text...

SUGA: You seem down... Something happened?

Jimin was looking at the text feeling a warmth growing inside. It's not like there were no people around that could easily say when something was wrong with him. But they saw him. And this guy just asked after reading like 3 sentences. As if he was really concerned...

He smirked to himself before replying:

CHIMISLOVE: You seem soft... Something happened?😏

SUGA: Fuck you!

CHIMISLOVE: That's more like you! 😁

CHIMISLOVE: I started to be worried that someone stole your phone 😱...

SUGA: Yeah... two crackheads... but I got it back...

CHIMISLOVE: Friends?

SUGA: More like leeches...

CHIMISLOVE: Oh! So the Best Friends then! 😌😌

SUGA: No! They came out of nowhere to make my life miserable!

CHIMISLOVE: The thing about friends is that...

CHIMISLOVE: It doesn't matter where or when they came from...

CHIMISLOVE: What matters is... they stayed...

Jimin expected another annoyed, savage answer, but it didn't come. He started fidgeting with his fingers over the screen nervously. He was about to type something silly to brush off the topic, when Suga replied:

SUGA: You seem more mature... Had something happened?

CHIMISLOVE: Nope. It's just that it's late and night thoughts are different... 😒

SUGA: True.

CHIMISLOVE: Hey! Don't be so nice to me!🤨🤨

SUGA: Why?

CHIMISLOVE: What if I fall in love and start to stalk you?😏

SUGA: ...

SUGA: I have a feeling you would be an annoying stalker...

SUGA: ... but funny one. Not the crazy bitch type...
