Taehyung wandered to the front of the dorm. There was a small garden in front of the building and since it was quite late in the night, there was hardly anyone passing by.

Taehyung found his way to a bench and sat down there staring into the night sky. The alcohol was slowly clearing away from his system as he sat down in a numb state. He didn't feel anything at that moment. All he felt was the cold air sorrounding him. He didn't know how long he sat there looking into space when he felt a presence beside him.

He turned and saw Jimin sitting down on the bench. He had a firm look on his face as he held out a canned beer to him.

"I know you're somewhat drunk but one more won't hurt" He  said without looking at him.

Taehyung took the canned beer slowly. 

Jimin wasn't smiling and he looked like he didn't want to be here. Seeing this, Taehyung gulped.

"Thanks Jimin... you didn't have to come out here. Suzy...." He swallowed hard feeling strangely uneasy from the previous scene he just witnessed "must be waiting for you"

"She's not. I sent her away" Jimin said dryly.

Taehyung widened his eyes at him. "But....why?"

Jimin frowned at him. "Do i have to explain my reason to you?"

Taehyung cowered. " Sorry...."

There was silence for quite a while. No one was ready to break the ice first. Taehyung was very uncomfortable so he opened his canned beer and took a sip. Jimin did the same just to pass away the time that seemed like it was passing by really slowly.

Finally, Taehyung spoke.

"I was wrong...."

Jimin gazed at him.

"Jiyeon wasn't the one"

He laughed sarcastically to himself "Ever since we started going out, i knew something was different. I thought i was going to be happy and content with her but it felt like i was only forcing myself to feel things for her. I didn't want to admit the truth to myself"

His hands shook. "You were right the whole time. She was only using me. She was actually selling herself for money and was even engaged to one of her regular customers"

He trembled "I know i have no right to apologize to you right now. I really messed up and if you refuse my apology, then i won't blame you but I want you to know...."

He looked at Jimin, hoping he could feel his sincerity from his eyes. "That I'm really sorry. I'm so ashamed of what I did to you. Even when the truth was right in front of me, I preferred to live in denial and as a result, I hurt you...please forgive me"

Jimin said nothing but after a while, he sighed. "It's fine Tae. What kind of a friend will I be if I don't forgive you? I admit that I was hurt but I also had a hand to play in almost destroying our friendship. I should have been more patient with you and made you see reason by showing you proof but instead, i let my anger get the best of me. I'm sorry too..."

Taehyung shook his head. "No...I should be the one saying sorry..."

"I should be saying sorry too..."

"No you shouldn't. I acted like a brat. I was stupid and blind to my emotions so I should be the one to take the blame not you so please accept my apology..."

"No I..."

"Jiminah...."

Jimin chuckled and Taehyung felt the tension reduce slightly. Jimin began to laugh and Taehyung felt a throbbing in his chest watching how his eyes contorted into a beautiful smile. It had been so long since he had seen this side of Jimin...in fact, since he had looked closely at his face and he realized something. He missed it. He missed him.

He shook his head trying to clear such disturbing thoughts from his head as Jimin grabbed his neck twisting it.

"Don't ever do that again Taehyung. If you don't believe anyone, at least believe me because I would never lie to you"

Taehyung stared at him and that throbbing of his heart began again but this time, more strongly. He quickly let go of him, feeling his face turn red.

"Anyway, thank you Jimin. I promise to always trust you from now on "

Jimin smiled. "That would be good"

They sipped their drinks calmly looking at the moon that had peeked out from the dark night sky.

Jimin broke the calm silence "So your dream is gone. No more white house and two dogs.... what are you going to do now?

"I made a discovery today" Taehyung murmured.

"What was that?"

"Jiyeon isn't my first love. I thought she was but it turned out I was wrong. She wasn't the one who gave me my first kiss three years ago"

There was silence. Only the howling of the wind was heard between them.

"Jimin, did you hear me?"

Jimin finally spoke, his voice low "How did you find out?"

"Jiyeon told me herself that it wasn't her. The only reason I felt anything for her was because I thought she was my first love but it turned out she wasn't"

Jimin nodded his head repeatedly "what a twist..."

"It really is. For three years, I have been emotionally invested in Jiyeon unaware that she was the wrong person. I was blind back then due to that accident so i have no idea who that person is"

Jimin gulped. "So it didn't have to be Jiyeon. If it were someone else, you would have still loved the person?"

Taehyung had a faraway look in his eyes. "I don't care who they are. I would love them"

Jimin stared at Taehyung with a serious expression on his face before whispering.

"What if it was me? what would you do? Would you like me?"

It was like the world stood still as soon as Jimin said those words. Strangely, he felt goosebumps all over his body as he stared into those dark eyes of Jimin. Jimin kissing him? No way. It was absolutely impossible. He couldn't imagine Jimin being that sneaky. Whoever did such a sneaky thing must have been someone who had a crush on him but from what he knew of Jimin, he was a play boy, a flirt who had so many lovers that were far better than he was. While they were growing up, all they did was fight. They hardly got along and Jimin was the happiest when he was bullying him so he couldn't even imagine such a thing. When he thought of such possibility, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Yah...why are you laughing?" Jimin said furrowing his brows.

"Nothing... it's just not something I can envision. It's so weird to even think about it."

Jimin's eyes dropped. "I see... Thankfully I'm not the one who kissed you that day"

Taehyung stopped laughing. "Of course you're not...stop joking around like that"

Taehyung paused for a while and looked at Jimin. It was a joke to him but why wasn't the latter laughing? He felt strange. Suddenly, Jimin brightened, smiling so beautifully that it was almost like he had imagine his previous depressing expression.

"Personally, I think the person is a pervert" he said nonchalantly.

Taehyung frowned. "I don't think so. If the person was a pervert, they would have tried to take advantage of me but it was only a kiss"

Jimin stood up. "Okay, enough of first loves and first kisses. Let's take a  short stroll. The night looks beautiful. It's been so long since we've spent time together. I've missed your company"

"Me too!" Taehyung whispered and he truly meant it. Jimin smiled but was suddenly thrown aback as Taehyung fell into his arms hugging him tightly as he wrapped his arms around his neck. Taehyung didn't know why he was suddenly acting like this. So clingy. Bros don't behave like this with each other or do they?

"I'm really sorry Jiminah..." He found himself whispering.

"It's alright. I can never truly stay mad at you Tae. I'm just glad we aren't fighting anymore. let's forget about what happened and move on. We've learned a lot from this haven't we?"

"Right...." Taehyung whispered. He slowly pulled away but their cheeks brushed against each other's and their lips were only a few inches apart. When Taehyung realised how close they were, he turned red and backed away.

"Okay then, let's go..." He whispered and started to walk quickly, leaving him behind.

Jimin chuckled at him. "Yah.... Wait for me!" He yelled and their voices echoed throughout the night.
