As Jimin watched SHINee's debut stage he felt super happy. He watched in amazement, the feeling of being insanely proud washed over him.

The time they had been waiting for was finally here and Jimin was excited for his friends. It even made Jimin remember how happy he was the day of his own debut.

As Jimin watched his friends perform, Yoongi wrapped his arms around Jimin's waist, resting his head on his shoulder. "I remember when it was us on that stage." Yoongi spoke, a feeling of nostalgia in his words.

"I know, it feels like just yesterday." Jimin spoke, watching as Taemin danced, giving it his all. Jimin couldn't feel more proud. "I'm happy for them. I just know they'll go really far." Yoongi said, amazed at how good they actually were.

"I know. I'm sure they'll have lots of fans." Jimin smiled. Yoongi smiled at Jimin's words as he continued to watch SHINee perform. As Yoongi watched he thought back to their comeback stage.

At that time, Jimin and Yoongi didn't even really talk. They would just exchange a hello every once in awhile. They both never imagined they'd be where they are today.

Yoongi felt happy as he stood behind Jimin, his head on his shoulder. The love Yoongi felt for Jimin seemed to grow stronger everyday. There was just something about Jimin that made him feel so alive.

Jimin watched, his heart happy. Everything was perfect. Jimin had Yoongi and his amazing teammates but he also had five really amazing friends. Friends that were finally getting their time to shine.

As the members of SHINee danced, they thought of many things. Mostly how exhilarating this felt. They felt so alive. There was specifically one thing on Taemin's mind though. Jimin.

Jimin was Taemin's strength to do this even though he was super nervous. Taemin wanted Jimin to watch him and feel proud of him. Taemin wanted Jimin's attention, he still wanted Jimin's love.

Of course Taemin said he would step back but he still couldn't help himself for having feelings. Feelings he could never act on, not anymore. Taemin wanted to respect Jimin and Yoongi's relationship, no mater how hurt he'd get.

As long as Jimin was happy, Taemin knew he would be happy too. This debut was just the beginning of the many amazing things to come and Taemin was excited.

As they continued to dance, the song began to near the end. Every moment was amazing. They felt so alive and free. There was nowhere else in this world they would rather be then on stage.

Jimin cheered as the song came to an end. They had done amazing! Jimin was so sure that they would have millions of fans cheering for them and supporting them forever.

Once the song fully ended, the guys made their way off stage. "You did amazing!" Jimin cheered, hugging all of them. When Taemin got to Jimin, he hugged him in a bone crushing hug.

"Thank you." Taemin spoke, his voice as if he were on the edge of tears. "For what?" Jimin asked, rubbing his hand up and down in a calming manner. "Just for everything you've done for me. You're an amazing friend, Jimin."

Jimin smiled. Taemin always knew how to make Jimin smile. "Of course. I'm so proud of you. You finally did it." Jimin said, his words going right to Taemin's heart. Taemin smiled, tears falling down his cheeks. He finally felt at peace.

"Let's celebrate!" Jungkook cheered once everyone arrived back at the SHINee dance studio. "I'm ready for that!" Jonghyung cheered, feeling on top of the world.

"Then let's party!" Tae beamed, turning up the music. Everyone seemed super happy and that made Jimin feel great. Of course he loved seeing the people he cared about being happy.

This was what kept Jimin going. If he could spread even a little bit of love, Jimin felt content. He was just glad the guys were finally able to debut. They would only go up from here.

"This is really nice. Thank you for planning all of this." Taemin said as he made his way over to Jimin. Jimin smiled, glancing up at Taemin. "Of course, it's my pleasure."

Taemin smiled, raising his cup to his lips. "Thank you for being there for me too. I really appreciate it." Taemin spoke again, his voice soft. Jimin smiled. "You're welcome."

Taemin set his cup down, the urge to want to pull Jimin into another hug was strong. All Taemin wanted was Jimin and he was upset because he knew he couldn't have him.

"Are you okay? You look a little lost in thought." Jimin said, breaking Taemin from his thoughts. As Taemin's eyes focused in on Jimin, he felt his heart ache. "I just.." Taemin had never fully confessed his feelings...

"You What?" Jimin asked, his voice soft. Taemin needed to tell Jimin exactly how he felt, even if it wouldn't go anywhere. "Come with me to the hallway." Taemin said, pulling Jimin out with him.

From across the room, Yoongi caught glimpse of Taemin pulling Jimin away. Yoongi didn't know why but he trusted Jimin and so he wouldn't go after them. Yoongi knew Jimin loves him and he didn't feel the need to worry about what Taemin does, not anymore.

Once Taemin and Jimin got into the hallway, Taemin slowly released Jimin's hand. "What's going on? What's gotten into you?" Jimin asked, a still chuckle in his words. 

"I need to get this off of my chest. I know it won't mean anything but I just have to tell you." Taemin started, feeling as if his heart were about to burst out of his chest any second now.

"What is it?" Jimin asked, his facial expressions soft. Taemin took a deep breath and spoke. "I'm in love with you, Jimin. I know you don't feel the same way but I just needed to tell you. I can't move on without you knowing exactly how I feel."

Jimin stood there, staring at Taemin, unsure of what to say. Jimin knew Taemin liked him but he didn't know he was in love with him. Jimin felt bad that Taemin's feelings were only growing stronger.

"I don't expect you to say anything, I just wanted you to know. It'll take some time but I'll try my best to get over you. I promise." Taemin said. Jimin frowned, feeling bad for Taemin. He shouldn't have to be going through this.

"I'm sorry." Jimin spoke, his voice low. Taemin's eyebrows rose, confused. "Sorry for what? You didn't do anything wrong." Taemin frowned, unsure of why Jimin thought he was in the wrong.

"I made you be my friend even though I knew how you felt. My kindness was meaning so much more to you then I knew. I wanted to make you happy but really I was just hurting you."

Taemin's heart hurt at Jimin's words. It hurt because it was true. In Jimin's kindness, he was only causing Taemin's feelings to grow stronger, making the rejection that much worse.

"I'm sorry." Jimin spoke again, feeling an overwhelming sadness wash over him. He hated knowing that he had been hurting Taemin all of this time when all he wanted to do was make him happy.

"You don't have to apologize. I should have said something sooner but I didn't. I let you continue to do it because I didn't want to lose you. I'm the one who's sorry." Taemin sighed.

Jimin sighed, not knowing what to say. "Does this mean we should stop being friends?" Jimin finally managed. The words hurt Jimin to say and they hurt Taemin to hear.

Even though neither of them wanted to stop being friends, they knew that's the only way he could move on. "I'm sorry, Jimin." Taemin said, his heart heavy. Jimin felt like crying.

Jimin put on a smile, wanting to seem strong. "Then let's get back in there and make this the best god damn goodbye you've ever had." Jimin said, trying to act like he wasn't breaking inside.

Taemin smiled, wiping a tear that had fallen from his eye. "Yeah, let's get back inside." Taemin spoke. Jimin nodded before making his way in before Taemin did.

What was supposed to be a great day, turned into a day neither Taemin nor Jimin would ever be able to forget. It was the day they had lost their best friend.
