laptop + p.jm

18.

rest in peace, to the beloved park jimin.

boredom couldn't have hit jimin more than it has since menda has left on a mysterious trip with mei. he still didn't understand it, nor did hoseok who was just as miserable. they were basically rotting in their backyard, resting their dark heads against the shed namjoon and jin built back when they first got the house.

"so you really have no idea where they went?" jimin asks, his eyes closed to shield himself from the bright sun. hoseok sighs, bringing his tired arm down from covering his eyes.

"no clue. if i did know, i don't think i would be sitting here with you, bored as hell."

jimin holds his head in his hands, the blazing star now affecting him, giving him a headache. 

"it's been 12 hours and i already can't stand it. how are you dealing with this?" he asks another question that hoseok is too beat to answer. 

"maybe the fact that mei will come back for me, and i can kiss her again and again," hoseok says, the energy swinging back into his voice as he talks about mei. 

jimin pays attention to the name.

"mei," he repeats, putting his head up. "how did that start all over again anyway?" 

"after we reunited from the, uh, y'know," hoseok stutters, obviously still feeling awkward about everyone knowing about his one night stand with mei. jimin nods as if it were natural.

"she talked to me as if nothing ever happened, as if we were meeting for the first time. and, it made me realize how foolish of me it was to not look for her the morning after." 

the silence pooled in, and they sat back a little longer like abandoned dogs.

"i guess it was a good thing to run into menda and steal her laptop," jimin jokes, pushing himself to laugh at his own joke.

hoseok chuckles, falling asleep in the warmth of the earth.

"i really like her."

"does she know?" 

"i think so. i hope that hickey made it clear."

hoseok slaps jimin's shoulder and actually laughs this time, out loud. 

"we need to get up before we burn like vampires." 

"yeah, i suppose. there is nothing to do. was my life really this boring?" jimin questions as he gets up and is now standing, a little light-headed by the extreme heat.

"sadly to say, yes."

the boys get up and trudge back into the empty house. the rest of the boys were out playing basketball, but jimin and hoseok kindly declined as they were the less active ones in the house. 

jimin continues to whine and complain at the boredom that is suffocating him until hoseok has enough of the sound. 

"jimin i'm not fucking jesus, okay? go do something yourself! i'm going to take a nap." 

jimin rolls his eyes at his moody bestfriend who grabs his phone from the counter and goes back to his room, slamming the door in the process. 

what did he want to do? he wanted to see menda. it was weird to him how much he missed her presence. she made everything extra fun, as if she were the cherry on top. he didn't actually enjoy rollerskating until he had gone with menda, he didn't actually like lurking through people's things, but menda was tempting, to the point where it would annoy him how much she affected him. she was everything. 

shaking his head as if to clear it, he got up and exited out of the house with no actual destination. he didn't want to feel like a helpless boy who depended on other people. he wanted to prove to menda that he could be fine without her, but for how long? who knew.

jimin found himself in the bathroom, hovering over the sink staring at his reflection in the mirror. what he was about to do was something that could go terribly wrong, or something that could actually help him. he stared at the object he bought at the local market sprawled out on the counter, challenging him to grab it. this was what he had wanted; something to do and something new. 

hoseok was still napping and the boys weren't home yet, so what was stopping him? he had checked his phone all day and there was nothing. not one single text from menda. 

"fuck it," he said, before he picked it up and spilled liquid.

**

the night has approached quickly, relieving jimin from the tough day he had. he still had no idea where menda was or what she was doing, and it made his stomach churn. he imagined her coming home, all sweaty and her long strands of hair sticking together from whatever the activity. the droplets sliding down her baby soft skin, and oh how he missed the outfit he had seen her in, those silky shorts and transparent gown. 

stop it.

he balled his hands into fists, smacking his head countless times before he thought he was going to pass out. was he going insane? over a girl? only god knows. his body ached for her touch, he ached to feel her heat radiating around him once again and he felt so ridiculous that it hadn't even been a whole day yet. he was  feeling tortured and teased, and what had she done? absolutely nothing but enjoy herself with a weekend getaway with her beloved friend. 

his thoughts were thankfully broken by the sound of the door opening, in coming in namjoon first and then the rest of the boys that were dripping sweat on the floor. 

they greeted jimin loudly and messily and the only thing jimin actually heard was a comment from yoongi.

"dude, you look like shit."

jimin glared at him with hooded lids from the sofa, the pokerface he had making him appear older.

"there's still one more day to go."

jungkook cooed at what jimin had said, and sat next to him, patting his thigh for comfort.

"i think you just got to make a move," jungkook says, watching the boys huddle around jimin. "toss a few words at her, and i think she will be yours in seconds." 

at first, jimin didn't quite understand what jungkook had said. he didn't expect it to be any help since jungkook was the least experienced with relationships and had only ever had one girlfriend, but it shocked jimin's insides and that's what he needed.

a boost.

menda will be his.
