Y/N'S POV~

A couple weeks had passed since the situation with Namjoon and luckily, he seemed to back off a bit. 

Not completely but I was taking whatever I could get at this point. 

He was still making little sly comments here and there, but I was choosing to ignore them.

Aside from him, I noticed Jin acting a little strange too.

He just seemed more closed off and reserved lately. He seemed to be keeping his distance and when we were around each other, he wasn't acting normal.

I wasn't sure if it was how Namjoon was being or what, but I wasn't letting any of it get to me.

Things with Jimin had been going great so I planned to keep it that way. 

As for tonight, I was going to make Jin hang out with me and do our weekly sleepover. It had been tradition for years and since I cancelled last time, we weren't cancelling again.

"You're coming tonight and that's final. Or I'll go to your place, up to you." I say and Jin shrugs as he looks from me to Jimin.

"He's cool with that?" I tilt my head. "Of course. Why wouldn't he be?" I ask but Jin shakes his head, not responding.

"I'll come over right after school so meet me at my car after your last class." Jin says and I nod, smiling widely. "Will do."

That's how we got here, the two of us buried in snacks and blankets while we watched our favorite movie for the millionth time.

"This never gets old, I swear. I love when we do this." I smile.

"Me too." Jin says, smiling but not looking away from the tv screen.

"Promise me even when we're like fifty we'll still have a sleepover now and again" I laugh, and Jin looks over at me and makes a face very opposite of mine.

"I'm not sure your husband will like that very much."

"He'll have to learn to. We're best friends forever. No husbands or wives getting in the way of us." I say, fully certain of my words.

Jin looks at me for a second without saying anything. His eyes seem to scan my face repeatedly as he thinks of what he's planning to say next.

He then looks back at the screen, before saying, 

"Yeah, I hope not."

I don't respond to what he said but instead, also turn my attention back to the screen as we finish our movie.

JIN'S POV~

As soon as I say it, I regret it.

I don't want y/n getting any weird vibes from me or suspecting anything.

The last thing I want is for her to figure out how I feel in the same way Namjoon did.

I still wasn't ready to admit that to myself and I guess when I did to Namjoon, it fucked with my head a bit.

The was the first time since mine and y/n's break up that I had admitted out loud that I wasn't over her.

I guess it was to be expected when we've spent every day since attached at the hip. 

It's as if not much has changed besides the occasional kissing or hand holding back then.

Since we were young then and still relatively new to dating, kissing and hand holding was as far as we had gone. Well, besides the occasional awkward groping.  

So really, there wasn't much to differentiate between us then and us now.

The only difference is, now she kisses Jimin and holds Jimin's hand instead of mine.

I shake the thought away, feeling annoyed.

I definitely had zero plans to ever speak how I feel out loud ever again.

Never would I purposely ruin things between y/n and Jimin, especially after seeing how disgustingly amazing they are together.

As much as I hated to admit it, she seemed happy with Jimin. All I had ever wanted was for y/n to be happy so why would I ruin that for her?

That's just not the type of person I am, and I never will be.

When the movie finally ended, y/n turned to me and yawned.

"I'm tired, I think I'm going to lay down now." She says as she stands, pulling one of the many blankets with her.

"You coming?" She asks and I hesitantly nod as I grab my blankets and follow her into her room.

As I start to make my bed on the floor, she looks over at me confused.

"When have I ever made you sleep on the floor?" She asks and I look over at her and raise my eyebrows.

"You have a boyfriend now, y/n. Times are a little different. I don't think Jimin would like that very much if we shared a bed." I remind her.

"I know but I feel bad having you sleep on the floor. Here, I'll sleep there, and you sleep on the bed." Y/n says with a smile but I quickly object. 

"Not going to happen. Just lay down, I'll be fine." I say and before y/n can say anything, I lay down on the blankets on the floor and get comfortable.

Y/n doesn't say anything as she crawls into bed and flips her lamp off, leaving the room dark.

The room is quiet for a moment before Y/n's voice interrupts the silence.

"Can I ask you a question?"

"What is it?" I ask, unsure of what her question was going to be.

"Why have you seemed distant lately? Did I do something?" She asks, her voice so calm and quiet it's almost a whisper.

"You didn't do anything, don't worry. I'm just giving you some space so you can make more time for Jimin, is all." I say, partially lying.

There's no way I was going to tell her the reason I've been keeping my distance is because I'm still in love with her.

Y/n is quiet for a minute before I hear the bed shift and her voice get a little louder, insinuating she turned closer to face me.

"You don't have to do that. Trust me, I'll make time for Jimin, but I still want us to hang out like we always do. Just because I'm dating Jimin doesn't mean I want to be around you less. So don't become a stranger, please."

I listen to y/n's words carefully, feeling a tug at my heart.

"Okay, I promise." I say softly and even though it's dark, I just know y/n is smiling.

That smile she's always given that melts my heart every single time.

"Goodnight Jin, I love you." Y/n says as she yawns, her voice becoming distant as she turns over in her bed.

I frown as I respond back with, " I love you too, goodnight."

There's a tug at my heart, knowing her I love you will never be meant in the same way as mine.
