"Oh, hey, Jihyun, how are you?"

The man in question hadn't expected to find Yoongi at his doorstep, late one night, without having been warned beforehand by any of his family members - well, his parents were currently on a trip for their anniversary, so they couldn't have known, and it was unlikely Eunjin did, either, because she was asleep by now.

"I'm good," Jihyun said with some hesitance. "Does Jimin...know you were stopping by this late?"

"Yeah." Yoongi showed off a small, somewhat shy smile. "He asked me to come over. Did he not tell you."

"He didn't. But that's alright." Returning the smile, Jihyun stepped to the side and gestured for the younger to go inside the house. And Yoongi did just that.

Within seconds of setting foot in the kitchen, the mint-haired boy heard footsteps coming from the staircase, and so he lifted his head to watch as Jimin came down to the kitchen wearing plaid pajamas and no socks. His newly dyed pink hair was an absolute mess - he must have realized this just then, for his hands quickly shot up to smooth down the ends sticking up like hay from a haystack.

"Hi, Yoongi," he said softly. A shy smile of his own peeked through but it faded as he turned to his brother. "Ah, sorry, Jihyun, I forgot to mention he was coming over. I fell asleep not too long ago."

"It's fine, Jimin, don't worry about it."

"Are you still going to Sehun's?"

"I am," the older said with a sigh. "He told me a while ago I owed him a favor and he recently decided that favor is, for whatever reason, binge-watching the Pirates of the Caribbean movies."

"Oh, dear." Yoongi couldn't help but chuckle at this. "That's like a solid ten to twelve hours right there."

"Thanks. That's reassuring."

Despite his blank expression, the laugh that followed Jihyun's response suggested he wasn't at all bothered by the situation. More so, it made Jimin smile. Knowing that his brother and his old friend had made up and were spending time together again - though he wouldn't talk much about it to Jimin's disappointment - made the boy feel happy and comforted.

He bet to both Yoongi and Namjoon the two would get together at some point. Rather, he hoped for it. Jimin really, really wanted to tease his brother about having a boyfriend.

"I'll see you tomorrow, I guess, Minnie."

"Okay, bye."

Yoongi waved goodbye as well as Jihyun pulled on his shoes, took up his duffel bag he had left by the kitchen table, and left the house.

For a moment, Jimin's gaze remained fixed on the door, a gentle expression upon his face that caught Yoongi's attention. He didn't have to ask; the other boy spoke up on his own.

"Ya know, I have a sneaking suspicion they're already together," he said. His smile grew. "I think Jihyun's just waiting for the right time to tell me."

"What a plot twist that would turn out to be."

"The best one."

Softly, Yoongi laughed at the dazed look on his boyfriend's face, though a bit disappointed at how long it lasted. He had to tug on the boy's sleeve to get his attention.

"Baby?"

Jimin faced him now, eyebrows raised, bottom lip sticking out somewhat now that his smile had faded. But it appeared again, along with a hint of color on his cheeks, as he made eye contact with his boyfriend. "Oh, right, sorry, uh...what did I text you about again?"
