These details flashed as Namjoon clicked on his phone's power button for the nth time. The time kept passing but he just kept staring at her phone number. He entered her phone number on his keypad but every time he just ended up deleting it. He threw his phone away in frustration and laid back on his bed.

Should I call her? I am worried if her friend is okay now.

But if I call her she will again ask me about myself. I mean RM. Gosh! It feels so weird.

This will make me crazy! Fuck it. I will just call now.

He quickly smacked the number on his keypad again and then his hands stopped above the dial button. It shook in the mid-air but this time he was determined. He just clicked on the call button and put the phone on his ear. His heart skipped a beat when the call started to ring. This whole time his eyes were closed as he thought how would he approach her after she picks up the call.

"Hello! Who's this?" she said in a husky voice.

"Hello... I... It's Namjoon. We met at the Cafe."

"Oh yes how can I forget! Thanks a lot for calling me but I really can't talk right now. I am so sorry. Can you just call me later?"

"Is everything all right?"

"No! They are shifting my friend to the emergency ward. I really don't know how to sit calmly outside when she's suffering." Her voice almost breaks at the end. For Namjoon it was just so sudden to hear her like this. He just wanted to listen to her voice but her weak helpless voice made his heart tremble.

"Hey! It will be all fine. Tell me the hospital name. I will be there."

"St Mary's Hospital." she just told the name without hesitation. She felt weak when she saw her friend lying on the white fowler bed getting transferred to the emergency ward. Her condition was getting worse and it scared the shit out of her. All she wanted was someone to tell her a few words of hope.

"It's not so far from here. I will be there real quick. You just don't worry." he quickly cut the call and picked up his jacket which slung over the chair.

The room was quiet when Jimin entered. Taehyung was reading a book while supporting his head on the pillow. He didn't notice Jimin coming as he was so into the mysterious story. "Hey! Reading a book huh." Jimin wiggled his brows.

Jimin's voice made him flinch and he looked at his way "I am sorry... I didn't notice you." he replied with a soft chuckle. He kept his eyes on JiMin as he closed the book while putting his index finger as a bookmark "Yeah just trying to pass my time" a small smile appeared on his lips.

Jimin slumped on the chair and threw his jacket on his bed. Exhausted, he fixed his eyes on the floor and sais in a soft voice "I am sorry for making you all worried." 

Taehyung placed his book on the lamp table and settled his all focus on Jimin. "Look am very bad with comforting and all but you don't have to say sorry to me okay? I hope that Jihun guy learns his lesson." after a small pause of silence he asked, "What's with Him and Yoongi by the way?"

"Actually that's really not my place to tell but let's just say they have a bad past together," Jimin replied with a sigh.

"It's okay. I understand"

Jimin adjusted his body on the chair and bit his lips with an awkward smirk "I really wanted to talk to you about this though."

"Yeah go on."

"You kinda told me this while you were drunk and I am sorry that your crush rejected you. I hope you are not stressing over it. I mean it keeps happening you know."

"I what? Fuck, I might be really drunk." Taehyung's choked on his saliva when he heard Jimin. Of course, he remembered his vulnerable condition but he didn't think that Jimin will ever bring this up. Taehyung faked a curious expression and asked, "What more did I say?" 

"That your crush like someone else."

"Whose crush? What's happening?" suddenly a third voice filled the room when Jungkook heard Taehyung and Jimin gossiping. He just wanted to talk to his best friend and in the meantime steal some glances on Jimin but the boys were already busy in their own canards.

"Taehyung's crush." Jimin retorted.

"Taehyung have a crush?" Jungkook asked as his eyes went wide in shock. His best friend never told him about his crush and it made him question his friendship.

"Yeah"

"NO" Taehyung quickly snapped at Jimin.

"I mean yeah, No." Jimin swiftly reframed his answer when he understood that Taehyung didn't want this information to be out and he rather wants to keep it as a secret.

"What the hell is with yes and no? It's either a yes or a no." Jungkook who was this close to losing his mind grumbled at both the boys who stood with their nervous faces. They both looked at each other and narrowed their eyes to speak further but it only increased Jungkook's doubts. Jimin cursed himself for even starting this conversation. He knew he shouldn't have brought this up but now there was no going back.

"I mean I have a crush, not Taehyung. Yeah, that's what I meant." Jimin double checked his words as he didn't have a clue what words were coming out of his mouth. He didn't expect that Taehyung hasn't tell Jungkook about him having a crush. He was stuck between to best friends and then God went soft for Jimin and suddenly his phone rang. He quickly took out his phone from his pocket almost saving it from falling down. "It's Hoseok's girl again. I better give it to him." he flashed a smile and quickly exit out of the room and from the awkward situation.

"He has a CRUSH and you didn't tell me?" Jungkook went all on Taehyung.

"What? No. He doesn't have any crush."

"He just said with his own mouth."

"He was joking man. I mean you suddenly went all over us with your questions. He just chickened out."

"No one freaks out just like that," Jungkook's eyebrows waggled as he stated his words. He slowly moved towards Taehyung's bed and sat down with a sigh. "In fact, I think he might be speaking the truth." sadness clouded his features as he realized there weren't many days left when Jimin have to leave for Busan. He tried to remain close to Jimin but he never got a chance when he could comfortably open up to him.

"What do you mean?" Taehyung's eyebrows knitted in confusion. 

"I think he likes Yoongi." Junkook pouted his face after speaking out Yoongi's name. Taehyung walked and sat beside him as he chuckled on his thought "What are you saying? Jimin and Yoongi?" 

"Don't you dare to laugh. I live in the same room with Yoongi and Jimin is just sticking beside his bed the whole time." when Taehyung opened his mouth to say something Jungkook quickly cut him off and continued "AND I am not overthinking. I freaking saw him holding his hand and today he was talking to him while he was asleep and when he noticed me standing at the door he quickly wiped his eyes. Now don't tell me his eyes were sweating."

"Oh god! calm down. You know they have spent more time together so it's normal that they are close and Jimin is leaving so he just might be sad." Taehyung might feel good after hearing that Jimin was interested in someone else and he might have a chance with Jungkook but things are not that simple. Jungkook was worried and he just wanted to make him feel good without caring that he was just giving him more hopes for his increasing affection towards Jimin.

"Umm...yeah. Maybe you are right." Jungkook scratched his head as he tried to agree with Taehyung.

"I am right you fool. Cheer up." Taehyung flashed a smile as he pulled a pillow from his bed and hit on Jungkook's head. Jungkook groaned in pain and shoved his head on a pillow near him. Taehyung laugh disappeared from his face when he thought if he actually hurt Jungkook. Without wasting any time he moved closer to him and asked if he was okay. And just in a flinch of eyes Jungkook picked up another pillow and hit Taehyung with even much force. Taehyung glared at him for pretending to be hurt but in the meantime, he felt relieved that Jungkook was fine. In no time the room was filled with their laughter while they kept running around trying to hit each other.

The three boys were busy in their own stuff when their attention was caught up by Jimin barging inside their room with his loud ringing phone. He quickly walked up to Hoseok and stretched his hands towards him. Hoseok looked at him with a confused face when Jimin replied, "It's your girl." His eyes went wide and he quickly grabbed the phone from Jimin's hand. He flashed an awkward smile to Jimin and stood up from his chair to move out of the room. The boys started making teasing sounds on which Hoseok's steps just became longer and the boys just ended up laughing on Hoseok's flustered face.

Hoseok quickly went to a corner and gazed his left and right and soon after he realized that he was alone he quickly received the call. "I am so sorry for making you wait." he apologized as soon as he answered his phone. He didn't talk to Miran for days and it just made him feel worse.

"It's ok but why didn't you answered my last voice message? I swear if they keeping you all day busy-" Miran's soft voice quickly rose up in a grumble.

"No, it's not that. I just...it's not my phone. I am talking to you with my friend's phone."

"What? Where is your phone then? Don't tell me you lost it on the train." she said after a wide-eyed pause of no time at all.

"I didn't. It's just a rule to take away freshmen's phone for three months."

"Are they even real? Who lives without a phone? I swear they have lost their mind."

"Calm down babe. I promise I will call you often."

"Did you get my last message?" she asked with curiosity. "Well just not me but everyone. Jimin played it in front of all the members." Hoseok scratched his forehead as his ears were turning red in embarrassment.

"Omg! don't tell me. Did you apologized to him?"

"I did. The next day. I was seriously frozen up."

"Oh, lord! I am so embarrassed." She squealed a cry as she replayed her words in her mind. "You should have seen my face." Hoseok laughed to make Miran feel comfortable. Her lips widened in a great laugh as she heard his laughter on her phone. "I am so sorry sunshine."

"It's not your fault. I should have told you."

"On the second thought yeah! Why didn't you tell me?"

"I was just so indulged in talking with you that I forgot. And then you slept so I didn't want to disturb you." Hoseok replied in his soft voice which felt like music to Miran's ear. A sudden silence formed between them as Hoseok waited to hear her voice. His brows waggled in confusion when he heard soft whimpers breaking through the silence.

"Baby! Are you crying?" Hoseok licked his lips in concern as he moved his face closer to the phone like he wanted to see her face and find out the answer on his own.

"I love you so much." Her voice cracked over the phone as she bit her quivering lips. She missed his laughing face, she had a habit of pulling him into a tight hug whenever his words used to touch her heart but it was just so tough being apart from him like this. She could hear his laugh but couldn't see the brightness in his eyes which used to reflect his pure soul. 

 Hoseok gazed over his bracelet while his corner of the eyes crinkled with tears. "I love you more." when he heard her whimpers he just couldn't hold his emotions. He missed her badly too. They stick their phones closer to their ears while tears pour down both of their eyes. If it was just likely the same behavior of lovers or just a mere coincidence but they both kissed their bracelets while they tried to feel each other's presence. At that moment their anxious hearts felt an undefined peace while they heard each other's breath through the phone.
