2 × Confession

-----------------------------

"Hyung? Earth to Jimin?"

Jimin woke up from his deep thought. He smiled after he looked at the maknae. "Sorry, Jungkook-ah. Can you repeat?"

Jungkook whined. "I had told you a long story and you were not ever listen!"

Jimin chuckled as he ruffled Jungkook's brown hair. "I know, I know. I'm sorry. I'm just thinking about something."

Immediately, Jungkook caught his wrist. "Stop treating me like a kid." He smirked, "I'm stronger than you, hyung."

Jimin raised his eyebrow at the confidence tone. "Arm wrestling?" He asked even though they already did it many times for non reason. Disappointed but not surprised, Jungkook agreed and positioned himself properly.

Suddenly, their position made Jimin remembered the important thing. His mind wandered back to his thought- did not listen to the countdown. When the countdown reached to one, the youngest member smacked his hand on the table very hard. "Ouch, you brat. It hurts!" Jimin did not need to look at the other face to see his smirk.

"You're getting weaker, Jimin-ah." The latter teased him but he took Jimin's injured hand. He rubbed the hand gently until the red colour became a soft blush pink.

Jimin giggled nervously. "It is not like that. I was daydreaming for a bit."

Jungkook's forehead showed wrinkles. "Again? Are you okay?" Jungkook leaned forward to Jimin. "You seem off lately. Something is wrong?"

Jimin gasped in surprise when he noticed their face were so close with a few inches distance away. "Y-yeah, I guess."

He could hear a sigh from Jungkook's mouth before he held Jimin's hand tightly. "You know that you can tell me everything? I will gladly help you." He gave Jimin his bunny smile. "Your happiness is my happiness."

"It is just--" He paused to make up his mind. Now or never. "I have something to say." Jimin did not take his hand away. To Jimin's surprise, the brown-haired man did the same. In fact, they lowered their hand down - still holding each other. He smiled shyly. He hoped this moment lasted forever.

"Yeah? You what?"

Jimin bit his plump lips as he tried to think the right words to say. His nervous habit made Jungkook worried more. "Jimin? What's wrong?"

Jimin inhaled a deep breath. Just say it Jimin. What is the worst scenario can happen? It is not like Jungkook will hate you. Jimin looked at Jungkook's big doe eyes - the eyes that he fell in love for three years. Damn, he loved Jungkook so much it made him hurt to think Jungkook would hate him for this. "Jungkook.. If I say this, please don't hate me. If you do not like it, I want us to remain like this. Promise?"

Jungkook's frowned deeper. "What the--"

"Jungkook. I asked that because I'm afraid to lose you. So, promise?"

Jungkook was confused. Very confused to be more exact. What had been Jimin through without him knowing? He can see determination in Jimin's eyes looking at him with hope.
"O-okay. I promise."

"Promise? I don't want you suddenly change your mind."

Jungkook chuckled at Jimin's face. "Yes. I promise I will never hate you. Let alone to leave you, too."

"Oh okay."

Silence.

"Oh my god, Jimin." Jungkook groaned. "Just say it."

"I will, I will. It is just .. Hard."

Silence.

"Hyung! What is it that you want--"

"I love you."

Jungkook blinked. "What?"

"I love you." Jimin continued. "I-it had been long time I f-feel more than friend, with you. At first, I thought it was just hyung and donsaeng feeling. But after I aged, I know it is more than that."

Jimin collected his courage to look at Jungkook's reaction. He panicked when the blood from Jungkook's face drained. "J-Jungkook! Your face! Are you okay?"

Jungkook shook his head. "No. I mean yes. N-no. I-I don't know--" Jungkook scooted back, taking his hands away in process - not realizing the hurt reaction on the other face. The maknae scratched his neck while looking at anywhere but Jimin. When he could not handle the awkwardness, he got out from that place quickly - not realising someone was outside, eavesdropping their conversation.

---------------------------

Jimin rubbed his eyes when he felt the sunlight crashed his eyes. When he could focus his eyesight, he found out that the day was already bright. He sat up before searching the time. 10:23 a.m. I'm late, he thought. Felt so tired to wake up, Jimin laid his back against the bed again. He was staring the ceiling but his mind wandered.

2 May 2016 : The day he confessed his love to his favourite donsaeng. The day he wanted to forget but end miserably by remembering that day.

He still remembered how warm Jungkook's hands the time he held them. He also remembered how warm his heart when he saw that bunny smile.

"I will never hate you. Let alone to leave you."

Jimin hardly sobbed at his arms. Jungkook's promise been always in his mind every day. He should know better. He regretted with his whole being for blindly trusted the promise.

He did not want to feel hurt like this anymore. He wanted to be happy with them. They are his friends.

He hopes he has courage to fix it.

It should be an easy task. If only he is not a weak person.

Jimin collected all his spirit together before he went out. But as he about getting up from his bed, Seokjin went in. "Jin-hyung?"

Seokjin looked up to Jimin. "Oh Jimin. You are finally waked up." He ruffled Jimin's hair. "Breakfast is ready." Suddenly, Seokjin frowned. "Are you okay? Tired? Your eyes are puffy."

Jimin's immediately shook his head. "Just not get enough sleep. No worries." He gave a smile that eases Seokjin's heart.

"I told you to not stay up late practicing." The older man sighed at the stubborn younger man.

But the other side, Jimin was confused. "W-wait hyung!" He waved his hands vigorously. "Practicing? Weren't we were watching shooting star together?"

"Shooting star?" Seokjin shook his head as the answer. "There was no news about shooting star last night, let alone we watched together. We were practicing our dance last night. Then we got back pretty late but of course, you wanted to stay."

"D-dance?"

"Jimin how can you forget that? Am I really bad dancer that you wish it was just imagination?" He wiped a fake tear before he laughed sarcastically. "Well looks like it is reality. You need to deal with me forever."

However, he stopped laughing when he looked at Jimin properly. "Jimin-ah? What's wrong? Your face looked pale." Seokjin gripped Jimin's shoulder when he realized the confused Jimin.

Jimin just stared at his hyung's face, as if it could give him answer. The only thing he could find is;

"Jin-hyung? Why your hair is blonde?"

Seokjin's eyebrows furrowed as Jimin changed the topic. He recovered quickly then brushed his hair proudly. "I look handsome, right. I know. Don't you think this look is perfect for the upcoming comeback? Army will go crazy over me that time." He shrugged his shoulders smugly.

"Upcoming comeback? Hyung, we just finished like one or two weeks ago? And your hair is not supposed to be blonde! The stylist will be the one who is going to be crazy over you." Jimin tried to shove his hyung outside. "Change your hair back to [2018 upcoming Jin's hair colour]!"

"What? She was the one who suggesting to me this colour. And if you think 'Young Forever' as the comeback, no it is not. It is Fire Jimin."

"Eh?"

"Why you keep confusing everything around you?" Jin stared at Jimin questionably. "We will make Fire music video in three days later. That's why I changed my hair. Everyone did. Even yourself become black again."

Jimin's eyes had widened when he checked his hair with a mirror. Jin was right. His hair was black not [ upcoming Jimin's hair colour on 2018 ].

But, when they changed their hair colour? He was pretty sure they were watching the shooting stars together last night. He still remembered the scene perfectly; they were cuddling on the couch, closing their eyes to wish to the star.

Wait. Hold on. Jimin gasped when he could grasp what was happening after he reminded something.

Jimin ran to his phone as quick as the Flash - completely ignored his hyung. Then, he straight to open his home screen - only to find out his guess was correct. With wallpaper of vminkook, there is a clock and date on it. But, Jimin just stared blankly at the date.

25th April 2016.

He got back two years ago.

Impossible. This was impossible. It might be a dream. Jimin braced himself when something hit him. Taehyung and Jungkook are not dating yet. The black-haired man closed his eyes tightly as many emotions rushed into his heart. He could not believe that Hoseok's fantasy became a reality.

But, why? Jimin thought as he tried to wonder the gift that universe gave to him. He recalled his wish. Unfortunately, he could not connect his wish with time travel.

"Jimin!"

The latter was surprised with a sudden shout. He turned to the voice and saw Seokjin's worried expression. He winced. "Sorry, hyung. I'm a bit lost just now." The blond man still not convinced. "Really, hyung. Maybe I'm exhausted. Can I have a moment please? I will go have breakfast."

Seokjin crossed his arms over his broad chest. "Promise you will take breakfast? I don't want any diet excuse from you."

Jimin giggled as he felt warm inside him. "I know, hyung. Thanks for worried about me. I will not diet again."

Seokjin took the last look at him before he walked out from the room. As the door closed, Jimin's smile faded. He looked at his phone wallpaper.

The smiles on their faces when they spent time together. This was before his friends dated.

He could not understand what his wish had something to do with time travelling. But, he knew the universe gave him a second chance to be happy again with his friends. To erase his regrets and change his future.

He would never take this chance for granted.
