"So you are telling me that Taehyung is on Instagram?" Jimin asks Jungkook in a high pitched tone, as if Taehyung having an Instagram profile was that last thing he expected.

"Yeah. Why are you so surprised?" Jungkook asks eating his cheese omelette. The two boys are currently at Jimin's apartment. The older male had dropped by and entered the house with the extra key that he has as he knew Jimin was still angry at him and wouldn't let him in.

He wanted to make it up to his younger brother, so he decided to make him a nice breakfast which consists of toasts, cheese omelettes and orange juice. Simple but tasty. And Jimin seems to like it a lot. He appreciates Jungkook's efforts and even forgave him. It's not like Jungkook was at fault here but Jimin was just upset as his brother knew more about his best friend's life than he did.

"It's just that, he told me he does not use any social media handles." The pink haired boy says, staring at his food.

"Chim, he didn't tell me too. I only found out when I caught him stalking JK on Instagram."

"You mean you guys don't follow each other?"

"We don't." Jungkook's reply makes Jimin sigh. He takes a mental note of following his best friend on Instagram.

"I wouldn't be surprised if he created an Instagram account just to stalk JK." Jimin laughs at his own thoughts while Jungkook looks at him with a surprised expression, "Does Taehyung like JK?"

"Like? Oh brother, he loves JK. Just like I love Yoongi." Jimin says. Jungkook feels happy that Taehyung likes him. But then he wonders if Taehyung really likes him or he just likes JK? Because JK is completely different from Jeon Jungkook.

"By the way, hyung, don't you think we should do something fun? Just the two of us? Like it's been a while since we hung out together." Jimin suggests and Jungkook quickly agrees as he knows he's been too busy lately and not giving much attention to his brother.

"Where should we go?"

"Let's just play tennis together?"

"Sure. But that reminds me we're already late for college. Park Jimin, you always make me engrossed in conversations and we end up getting late. Come on, hurry up. We need to leave." Jungkook's elder brother mode is back which makes Jimin shut up and quickly finish off his food.

"Why do you look so nervous, Tae?" Yoongi asks the younger as both of them are now sitting in Yoongi's practice room. The university has given him a separate room where he can practice and the teachers visit that room to help him out if needed. Yoongi gets this special treatment as he has represented and won glory for South Korea on various international platforms. The university believes that he deserves a special treatment for making them proud.

"Jimin and I are going to talk about stuff today." Taehyung says. He had told the older boy about the problem earlier. Yoongi nods his head in agreement, "You should do that and let me know what happens."

"Sure, hyung." Taehyung says and goes back to working on his English assignment. Since his ankle is hurt and he cannot walk around much, he asked permission from his professors if he could stay in Yoongi's practice room and do his work. The professors agreed to it immediately because Taehyung is a smart student who has good grades so far and they obviously don't want him stressing out too much.

The room is silent as Taehyung studies while Yoongi works on his project but after an hour or so, there is a knock at the door. The two boys in the room look towards the door and see a pink head peeping inside the room.

"Cutie, sexy, lovely? Is that you?" Yoongi says, laughing at his own words. Jimin blushes hearing what Yoongi just said. Obliviously it's not everyday that your crush calls you that.

"Hi!" He says in a small voice as he steps inside the room.

"Hey, Jimin!" Taehyung says excitedly and is about to get up but Yoongi's hand on his shoulder stops him from doing so.

"Don't overwork yourself, Tae." The older male says.

"Don't worry, Tae, I will come to you." Jimin says with a smile. Taehyung is a little startled by Jimin's sudden sweet behavior after he got to know that Taehyung got hurt. Not like Jimin is not sweet towards him, but lately he had been angry and Taehyung hadn't seen his smile in the past few days.

Jimin walks over to his friend and hugs him. This action startles the younger but he hugs him back nonetheless with a smile on his face. I think everything will be alright now.

"So you two can talk here. I'm going out for a bit." Yoongi says, picking up a few papers in his hand and walking towards the door.

"I'm sorry to disturb you, hyung." Taehyung says, feeling guilty for using Yoongi's room so freely.

"You're not disturbing, Tae. It's fine. You and Jimin can use this room for your music project if you want." He smiles at the youngest boy and then looks at the pink haired boy who is already looking at him. He smiles at him and then leaves but Jimin keeps staring at the closed door blankly.

"You're blushing, Chim." Taehyung says giggling looking at his friend.

"Why wouldn't I blush? The Min Yoongi looked me in the eye and smiled at me!!" Jimin squeals while Taehyung laughs at him.

"So umm... can we talk?" Jimin asks when their laughs die down. Taehyung nods his head.

"First of all, I'm sorry I reacted that way when I got to know that you know Suga personally and that Kim Seokjin is your elder brother. To be honest, I'm still not used to the fact but I'm sorry. I know it may be difficult for you... given you had a very hard time for the past six years. You must still not be very comfortable with everything and still I behaved badly with you. I'm sorry." Jimin says.

"It's okay, Chim. You didn't know."

"No, I feel guilty. You said that day that you had not... stepped outside your house for like... six years and that you don't know much about stuff but still I overreacted. And on top of that, I didn't even talk to you for four days. For four fucking days, I stayed away from my only best friend and kept on feeling guilty. I should have talked to you sooner." Jimin says sadly. Taehyung keeps his hand on his friend's shoulder and smiles.

"It's okay, Chim. I'm glad that we're talking now and are back to normal. Wait, we're back, right?" Taehyung asks and Jimin nods as he laughs.

"Yes, we're back, Tae."

"Also, I'm sorry for what I said about you and Jungkook. It seems like it's a sensitive topic for the both of you and I shouldn't have talked like that." Taehyung says.

"Wait... does that mean that you know?" Jimin asks, suddenly growing quieter.

"Yeah, Jungkook told me." Taehyung says, staring at the floor.

"I knew he would tell you." Jimin says in a low voice.

"Jim-"

"And I'm kind of glad he did because I don't think I would ever get that kind of courage to tell you the truth. It's not easy to tell your friend that your mother had an affair with a married man who left her when he got to know that she's pregnant." What Jimin just said shocked Taehyung. When Jungkook told him about it, he was kind of expecting something like this but hearing from Jimin directly makes him feel bad. His friend looks sad.

Taehyung slowly wraps his arms around his friend, a way of telling him that he is there for him no matter what happens. "Don't worry, Jiminie. I would never judge you. You can trust me with anything."

Jimin smiles and hugs Taehyung back. It feels good to have a friend. It feels good to have someone to talk to without the fear of getting judged.

"Hey, Jimin." Taehyung pulls away, "I'm sorry too for not telling you about Jin hyung and Yoongi hyung sooner."

"It's fine, Tae. Just let me hang out with them once and this fight will be a forgotten business." Jimin winks, making Taehyung laugh.

"Deal."

"By the way, Taehyung, why were you... like... what did you mean when you said that you lived in your house for six years and did not step outside?" Jimin asks hesitantly.

Taehyung takes a deep breath, "I was sick. I was very sick, Jimin. I... wasn't in the right state of mind... you could say. So I was homeschooled and treated at home. It took me a while to get better... so yeah." Taehyung thinks of those horrible six years. He doesn't want to tell Jimin how he got so sick just yet. He just can't. It's too painful a memory for him and that would only trigger his panic attack.

"Taehyung, are you okay?" Jimin asks when he sees that the younger suddenly grew quite. And why wouldn't he? Even Jimin knows that it might be a painful memory for him.

"Y-Yeah, I guess." Taehyung takes a deep breath and smiles. Things are getting better, Tae. Try not to think about bad memories. He says to himself.

"Hey, do you want to work on our music project? We can finish off the lyrics soon if we try." Jimin says and Taehyung immediately agrees. Both the boys start working together and after an hour, they are done with the lyrics. Both of them are happy that stage one of their project is completed. They decide that they would start working on the melody and music later.

After the bell rings, Jimin gets up and says 'goodbye' to Taehyung as he has to go to his class while the younger is left alone with his thoughts.
