A double update? A double update .

--

Jimin was stomping his foot slightly on the floor of the cafe and looks around. He can say that this was the type of cafe that Jimin would stay and chill all day.

It was a three-story building, the first floor was designed as a cafe, the second floor as a restaurant, and the third floor is mainly for the staff's lounge room. The wallpapers were purple, and lights aren't blinding to people's eyes.

The ambiance was cozy and warm, and the floors were always polish cleaned. Not surprising since Jimin knows the owner is a neat freak.

But even if there is a calming atmosphere lingering around him, the pink-haired male couldn't help but shift uncomfortably in his seat.

He was here for a reason, waiting for someone to arrive at the appointed time even though Jimin had arrived rather early.

He puts both of his shaking hands around his cup of coffee basking in it's warmth when someone suddenly sits in front of him.

Jimin looks up at him, and gasps in shock.

"W-What happened to your face!?" Jimin shrieks, earning a couple glances and whispers from the other costumers.

Jimin tried to reach for his face, but the guy only swats his hand away, making Jimin flinched. The guy looks at him with the same old unreadable expression from before.

"What is it Jimin? I don't think your boyfriend will like to see you spending the lunch break with another man," he heard him say with his cold tone.

Jimin only pursed his lips and reached for something in his pocket before putting it infront of the man.

"Yoongi .."

Yoongi stares at the object and Jimin can clearly see his expression turns into a disappointing one, before it went back to an unreadable one in a blink of an eye.

"Jimin. What is that?" the older asked, and Jimin couldn't help but frown.

"T-This ring .. It's yours." He stated, "You gave it to me, and now i'm giving it back."

Millions of possibilities has been going into Jimin's mind as he stare into Yoongi's face. He wants to know what the older is currently thinking, and he always wondered what has been going on in his mind.

Yoongi didn't say anything as he keeps on staring at the ring like it's a foreign object to him.

Many excruciating minutes have passed but neither of them said anything. And Jimin feels like he's been holding his breath for too long.

"Yoongi, i like Hoseok. I really do. And i confess that i like you too, but we can't - i can't continue doing this." Jimin explained as he felt tears forming at the corner of his eyes.

"I can't continue holding on to this and to you anymore,"

Jimin bites his lower lip and looks down.

He doesn't want Yoongi to see in him the same thing that Hoseok did. He doesn't want him to see his hesitation.

'cause even if Jimin said that he wants to stop, his heart obviously wouldn't.

And it's making everything complicated and unfair.

"Is this about what happened the other night?" the older asked, making Jimin look up to him.

Jimin's felt his heart stop beating, because Yoongi is now looking at him with the most hurt expression he had ever seen in him.

And somehow, he wished he's meeting Yoongi here with a different scenario.

"W-What?" Jimin picks up his entire courage just to ask that question, even though he already knew what is was.

"That kiss that we shared. Do you really love Hoseok that much?"

Jimin looks at him and contemplates whether he should answer that or not,but he knows he has to. Afterall, he already made a decision.

"I do. I'm sorry Yoongi. I was glad that you came back, and maybe i still want some answers as to why you left, but i am tired." he said, not breaking his stare.

"I am tired of waiting for you,"

Yoongi looks down and sighs deeply, before looking back at Jimin again. His eyes hold many emotions that Jimin couldn't say all the names but one thing is prominent; Hurt.

"I love you,"

Jimin's eyes widen at the sudden confession from Yoongi. And it tooks all that Jimin had not to say those words back.

'Don't. Think about Hoseok,' was thoughts that keeps running in Jimin's mind.

He doesn't know what to say or do in this situation. He doesn't even expect that Yoongi will say those words to him.

Why now?

''I know i have no right to say those words Jimin, but if it's a choice between breathing and telling you - then i'll gladly take my last breath now,"

Jimin's throat suddenly felt dry as he stops himself from reaching over to the blue-haired male infront of him.

He wanted to shout, or say something, but his mouth refused to moved that even a small sound cannot escape.

"Jimin, if the reason of why i left is what's keeping you away from me, then i'll tell you. Don't do this,"

Yoongi is now practically begging infront of him, making Jimin scared.

He is scared that the moment Yoongi will finished his words, everything he decided with a firm conviction will come crumbling down in a matter of seconds.

It was unfair, too unfair.

Why is Yoongi doing this now when Jimin is already set in doing what he thinks is the right thing?

"No .." Jimin managed to say.

The last time he said that word, he was angry and confused.

But right now he isn't.

"Minnie -"

"I'm sorry, but i can't Yoonie," Jimin refused while shaking his head.

"I don't wanna hurt Hoseok, that's too unfair for all of us." He stated, and Yoongi only looks more hurt than before.

"Please Yoongi. I can't do this. You need to take this ring back,"

Jimin picks up the said object and reaches for Yoongi's hand, who is slightly trembling. The pink-haired male internally shivers at the feeling of cold from the older's hand.

Jimin's eyes started to swell up with tears at what is happening between them, and as he tried to push the ring into Yoongi's hands, the older only balled up his fists tightly.

"I am not taking that back Jimin," Yoongi said as he pushes his hands away, the ring still in Jimin's hold.

"Y-Yoonie please,"

"I-I gave it to you, so it's now yours. You can do anything you want with it. Hell, you can burn it, or throw it. It doesn't matter," Yoongi, with his voice slightly quivering, is now on his feet.

"Just know that the moment you throw it away," Yoongi stated as he look at Jimin with the same hurt and sad eyes, exactly like his.

"That is when you have finally decided to throw my heart as well."

Before Jimin can even speak, Yoongi was gone again.

Leaving Jimin with his now cold coffee, his ring, and the another set of broken heart.
