Jimin sat at the bar, his fourth drink in hand, staring off into the distance. Jungkook and Hobi, sat on either side of him, concern etched on their faces...But nobody dared to speak...Just the sound of song playing in the background while people chatting with their loved ones was heard...

Jungkook let out an audible sigh causing jimin to come out of his trance and look at his friend innocently...

"Jimin, you need to move on"

Was the first thing Jungkook said, placing a hand on Jimin's shoulder...

"It's already been 6 years"

Jimin looked down, gulping...While his grip on the glass tightened...

"I know it's hard"

Hobi added, looking at his friend with sympathy

"But Taehyung left years ago. He hasn't even messaged or called you once in those six years. It's time to accept that he's not coming back."

Jimin took a long sip of his drink before setting it down on the counter...

"I can't just give up on him,"

He said, his voice barely above a whisper.

"He asked me to wait for him. I have to believe that he'll come back."

"What's the point of hoping? He never said that he's not gonna get into a relationship...He never promised you loyalty...did he?"

Jimin was suddenly speechless...

"He...He will come back hobi"

"But what if he doesn't?"

Jungkook asked gently.

"You can't keep holding onto something that might never happen...It's like following the light of a star that already died... You're literally chasing anything that shines Jimin-ah"

Hobi nodded in agreement.

"And what about your own happiness? You're missing out on so many opportunities because you're waiting for someone who may never come back."

Jimin sighed, feeling the weight of their words heavy on his heart.

He knew they were right, but he couldn't help but hold onto the hope that Taehyung would come back...

"I just can't imagine my life without him,"

He said, his voice trembling slightly.

Jungkook and Hobi exchanged a worried glance before Jungkook spoke up.

"Jimin, we love you and we want you to be happy. But you can't keep putting your life on hold for someone who may never come back. You deserve to find happiness with someone who is here, in the present...Just like Yoongi did...He moved on...And he's happier with me..."

Jimin looked down at his drink, feeling a sense of defeat wash over him.

He knew they were right, but the thought of moving on from Taehyung felt like giving up on a part of himself.

"I don't know if I can,"

He said, his voice barely above a whisper.

"It's al-"

Hobi was cut off by the manager of the bar announcing something

"Good evening ladies and gentlemen!"

The manager stood on the stage with a smile

"I hope you all are having a good time...Just like every Friday...We're giving a chance to a stranger to come and show us their talent...It can be singing...Dancing or anything you're good at...We also have a price for winners...So...Who would like to come and show off their skills..."
