RIVALS [yoonmin]

"Yoongi?" The bright smile dropped from the younger's face. "Is everything okay?"

Yoongi's eyes were red, his face wet with tears, lips purple and shivering from the cold.

"Y-yeah I'm j-just cold." He breathed into his hands, warming them for a short time.

"Hyung quick you need to get inside" Jimin looked at Yoongi, pulling him inside by the waist.

He sat down on the couch while Jimin hurried to go get blankets for him. He had almost forgotten what Jimin's house looked like, he hadn't been there in awhile due to recent events.

Jimin came back with two blankets, placing one on Yoongi's lap and the other around his shoulders.

He took Yoongi by the hands and sat next to him, facing in his direction.

"Hyung... why are you crying?" Jimin looked on the verge of tears himself, seeing his best friend so hurt.

"It's nothing, leaky eyes" Yoongi looked up at Jimin, smiling sadly. He couldn't tell him his real problems because Jimin was the problem.

Jimin hit Yoongi on the chest. "Why are you lying to me?!" He tugged at Yoongi's shirt, his face growing redder. "Why won't you tell me anything anymore?!Do you not like me? Should I just disappear?"

Yoongi couldn't say a single word.

"B-because..." Jimin stuttered. "All I do is annoy you Yoongi, I can't seem to do anything right! I can't make you happy, all I do is annoy you and I don't know why!"

Yoongi had no idea Jimin had felt like this. He felt like an idiot for thinking that Jimin could never have these feelings, that he would always be happy. He was clearly wrong.

"I-" Yoongi felt tears forming, he leaned his head onto Jimin's shoulder so that he wouldn't see him break down if he did.

"My crush doesn't like me back." Yoongi said softly, tears falling down.

"No matter how hard I try in the end I'm a coward and I could never confess and make them mine even though they're so close." Yoongi bit his lip, stopping a loud sob escaping his mouth.

Jimin felt a little helpless. He couldn't do anything for Yoongi except stay by his side.

"It's okay, Yoongi."

"And-" He was unable to control the tears that streamed down his face. "My best friend confessed to me- and I rejected them and I feel like a total asshole, they're such a great person and I'd do nothing-"

Yoongi let out a loud sob, all his thoughts pouring out of his mind. "I'd do n-nothing to make him unhappy and I-"

"Him?" Jimin cut Yoongi off and looked at him, eyes wide. "A guy confessed to you?"

"I- uhm yeah, don't worry about it." Yoongi sniffed, wiping his nose,

Jimin sighed, taking Yoongi's hands in his. "I'm sorry hyung, I don't know what to do to help you." He smiled at Yoongi. "I hope letting it out made you feel better though."

Yoongi wiped his tears on his sleeve. "I do, thank you Jimin."

"Anything for my best friend"

-

Yoongi woke up in Jimin's arms. His cheeks were sticky with tears from last night. He unraveled himself and stood up gradually, brushing himself off.

He poked Jimin's cheek and smiled. He felt much better after letting everything out. He chuckled at Jimins cute sleeping face and sighed softly

"You're so cute, I want to hold you tight and never let you go Park Jimin. You're driving me insane."

He observed Jimin before opening his mouth.

"If only you knew my crush is you"

He stepped out the door, shutting it gently so he didn't wake Jimin up. He was going to work things out with Hoseok, he was going to make things better.

Jimin blushed violently, he had heard everything.
