"nice hickey." namjoon snickered pushing past the smaller boy on his way to seokjin and hoseok.

jimin was tired, he honestly didn't even feel like arguing or pushing the idea that he somehow accumulated a pretty big bright red mark miraculously over night through some kind of crazy fall.

he felt it would be easier to just find a staircase and throw himself down it so he could die.

he only got about four hours of sleep since he stayed up quite a bit with taehyung and had to wake up crazy early for his shift today.

he put up the hood of his hoodie to conceal the very obvious mark, luckily it worked as it was more on the side than the front.

it was after hours at the lounge bar and apparently once every month they all stayed after work when the place was closed and treated themselves to drinks to celebrate their not so hard work.

jimin had his head rested on his chin with an empty glass in front of him since he was too sleepy to get up and go get anything.

"want some?" a bottle of vodka was placed on the wooden table in front of him as someone sat down to join him.

he lazily nodded, letting the man pour him a drink before pouring some into his own glass.

"you look cute like that, like a little squish." yoongi laughed at the boy's face covered up a little bit by his tightened hood.

jimin blushed, looking away from his eyes as he took a sip from the drink the older male just gave him.

the back door of the place opened, a red haired man entering from the other entrance because the front was locked.

"hey." he sat down on one of the stools beside jungkook who was drinking alone and listening to the soft music playing.

"hey," taehyung looked around the darkened place, the lights off and only thing keeping him from being blind was the neon blue florescent lights behind the bar. "did jimin stay?"

the younger of the two pointed behind him to the two in black sitting together.

"i thought yoongi was being all bitchy to him?"

"he was, but he's been laying off him a lot more lately."

taehyung grabbed the bottle from jungkook and poured himself some into a shot glass. "why's that?"

"we've been talking about getting serious for a bit now, and last night we decided to make it official." jungkook smiled watching his now boyfriend talk to his friend.

he knew he should've been happy for the other, but he couldn't help but frown at the news.

surely jimin wouldn't take it too well.

or so he thought.

a light giggle erupted from the small body in front of a grinning yoongi as they joked around with each other.

it was strange.

"does jimin know?"

the younger nodded. "yoongi told him that he was in love with me yesterday and asked him to stay with hoseok so we could talk about everything."

taehyung titled his head.

things just weren't adding up.

why would jimin be so smiley and blushy if he knew that they were dating now?

surely knowing that you don't have a chance with your crush would upset you, so why was he so happy?

"what about you?"

he turned back towards his best friend. "what about me?"

"when are you going to quit that dumb job and date someone? i mean you haven't been in a relationship since high school, do you even like anyone?"

did he even like anyone?

another cute, quiet giggle came from the boy, but it was loud enough to reach taehyung's ears.

"i don't know if i'll quit, but i guess there is one person i wouldn't mind settling down with."

jimin held a bright smile, nose crinkled and eyes turning into little crescents.

momentarily, his eyes met the older's causing him to give a little wave in which jimin happily returned.

he turned back to jungkook, seeing the male had followed his gaze to the table and saw their little interaction.

"so park jimin, huh?"

taehyung bit his lip, swishing the liquid in the shot glass in his hands. "maybe."
