ship: Park Jimin x Ra Rin(you) / Min Yoongi x Ra Rin(you)
words: around 1400
genre: angst

Yoongi wouldn’t answer your calls and messages. After a month full of failed tries to get to him you just decided to stop talking to him. You thought that if he wanted your help or just to talk to you sometime, he’d just come up to you and speak. You were even praying that this would happen because oh, how much you loved this boy with a smile that could light up the whole world and beyond.

While thinking yet again about the pop idol Suga in your living room, with your best friend doing her homework on your desk, you didn’t even realize that your phone was ringing. ‘Hey,Ra Rin please answer this stupid phone already! I can’t even concentrate and it won’t stop ringing!’ You suddenly jumped and a little spark of hope that it was the name ‘Min Yoongi’ that would show was lit up. But it died rather fast when you read the name. It was his band mate: Park Jimin.

You gulped but picked up the phone, anyway. 

‘I’m sorry for calling. I just didn’t know who else to call.’ Jimin answered breathlessly. You felt a bit intimidated because Park Jimin stopped talking to you about a year and a half ago when he debuted under the name BTS. 

At first he was just your friend Jim Jim with whom you loved to mess around but after the debut of their group, suddenly, the guy decided to cut connections with you. When you went to their company one day just to ask him why he did this after all the time you spent together, he just stared at you without any emotion and answered: ‘I’m just tired of you and your friendship.’

You felt like a piece of you died the moment he told you that he left you because you were not interesting or entertaining enough anymore. 

The worst of it all was that you realized it was not just your pride that he had hurt, it was also your heart. Suddenly the butterflies you had in your tummy whenever he told you you looked pretty or the way your heart was speeding up whenever he smiled made sense to you and it made you even more sad and alone. 

After a few months, though, you finally got over it.Well, at least got partially over it, as it seemed like now when his name appeared on your phone screen out of nowhere.

You returned back to reality but you didn’t know what to say. Your throat felt dry and no words were coming out of it. Jimin waited a bit more but when he knew you won’t answer, he sighed and then cut the line.

Since that day, Park Jimin called every night at exactly the same hour and you would always pick up but never feel ready to answer with actual words. You were just humming and little by little he started telling you more and more about him and what was happening in his life since you two separated. 

You expected a really interesting life, when honestly, it was not that big of a deal: interviews, tv programs, concerts and so on. You actually felt like your student life was a lot more interesting than his.

'…And after that we slept for two days straight! It was really amazing.’ He stopped when he realized he wasn’t hearing you even hum at the other end of the line. 'Hey, Ra Rin are you still there?’

You were physically but you were somewhere else in your mind: You were thinking about Min Yoongi once again and as much as it sounded ridiculous to you, you found out that you haven’t been thinking about him a lot since Jimin came back into your life. Ah,this brat, even like this he was able to affect you. The only difference than before was that the butterflies were not in your stomach anymore.

He sighed and you could imagine him lying on his bed with his eyes shut and thinking how to say his next words. ‘H-hey..can you come to the company and meet me..tomorrow? At four? Please, I really need to see you…I-I miss you.’

Suddenly anger started flowing in you and for the first time in what seemed like forever you spoke back to Park Jimin. ‘I think you’re a bit late with this.’ And after that you shut the phone down and put it on the table.

You were frustrated but after maybe half an hour you made up your mind and decided to meet him even if it was just to see his face.

It was four thirty already and you were sitting in the entrance of the company. There was nobody except you in the reception but you could see the kpop stars walking on the other end of the glass door. It was nothing that caught your attention until someone you knew came out. It was Suga and he was as beautiful as ever. He didn’t seem even a bit depressed or sad. Actually, he was smiling and talking with the other members. One of them was no one else but Park Jimin. You felt your heartbeat fastening but you blamed it on Yoongi. There was no way that you were still feeling something for that guy. There surely was noth-

'YA, boys!’ You screamed out of nowhere and all of them turned to you. You got up from the chair and walked closer to them. The security was already grabbing you when someone said 'Put her down, she’s someone I know.’ Just like that you were left alone with BTS.

Nobody was saying anything so you bit your lip and put your hair in front of your face, tugging at the already too baggy sweater you were wearing. You unconcsiously locked eyes with Yoongi. You were feeling betrayed once again and he just stared back at you coldly. You couldn’t believe it was the same guy from a few months ago who was willing to do everything for you. You totally forgot about Jimin and fastly started searching for something in your bag.

'W-what are you searching for?’ One of the guys asked.

'My phone.’ You answered and found it. Then you opened the messages with one click and showed them the screen. 'I just wanted to show your friend Min Yoongi how much I appreciate his way of treating me for the past few months.’

Suga’s eyes widened and his mouth was a thin line. When they saw that your message box had around fifty messaged your have sent to Yoongi to which he had answered with ‘Okay”s and ‘I’m busy”s , you put your phone back into your bag. Since you have already started with it, you decided you had to finish so you pointed at Jimin.

'You, why did you call me when you left me already once?’ You started with a normal voice and you kept it this way until the end of the sentence but you felt tears forming in your eyes. 'Yeah, No problem at all! And you, Min Yoongi, you’re just the same as Jimin. So…so I don’t want to stay here any longer and hear the same thing I heard from him a few years ago. I don’t think I can’t accept being rejected two times.’

'Rejected?’ Jimin finally spoke up.

'Yes, Jimin, rejected. I was..’ You squealed but you continued with a whisper 'I was in love with you.’ His eyes widened but you didn’t give him the chance to answer.

'And now, now I’m in love with Yoongi. So, because I won’t accept someone breaking my heart again, I’ll just tell you one more thing and leave.’ You took a deep breath and with tears almost spilling from your eyes, you added. 'Don’t you dare ask me for anything more than hums on the other side of the phone line.’

Jimin was about to cry, Yoongi was still expressionless but you knew he’d come back to you someday, too. And when that day came, you’d listen to things you couldn’t care less about just to have a moment to remember how was it like to love him.
