I. Soulmates?
"Hyung."
Yoongi knows why Jimin had visited him at work and asked if he could talk to him when he gets home, why they're currently sat behind the dinner table of their shared apartment, facing each other with a tension so thick Yoongi can slice it with a knife.

Jimin fidgets on the red string of fate around his bony wrist, causing yoongi to become more aware of the similar bracelet around his own wrist.
"I—" Jimin begins, taking in a deep breath a while after his first word.
Yoongi can see that he's nervous too.

"Hyung, i know it's not a secret that we're both not in the best terms with each other lately."
Yoongi curls a little on himself, chest tightening as the tension between them was finally verbalized.

No, they aren't fighting. They've never fought. And that's when Yoongi thought that there is something wrong with their relationship.
Couples fight from time to time—it's a part of a relationship. So why wouldn't they? Where exactly is the error here?

"You're quiet."
Yoongi presses his lips together, dark fringe obscuring the view of his eyes.
"You've always been quiet, hyung. Sometimes, I wonder what's going on in your head. And..." Jimin drops his gaze on the table. "...Sometimes I wonder if I really knew who you are."

Yoongi's insecurities start to seep through the cracks in his heart. He hates himself for being like this, has always hated himself for not being as cheerful as Jimin or as free-spirited as Taehyung.
Taehyung. Ah, yes. He's the reason why he and Jimin are in this mess right now.

"You don't talk to me when you have problems. And if you did, it was because I tried my best to extract them from you. I'm your boyfriend for a reason, hyung. I am here to listen to you."
Yoongi bites his lower lip.
"But it looks like that reason is not enough for you."
Yoongi bites his lower lip.
"But it looks like that reason is not enough for you."
/That's not true/, Yoongi thinks.
"You're very nice to me and I love how attentive and caring you are through your actions. I don't ask you to say 'I love you' because I know that's not who you are. But sometimes, it feels nice to hear some sort of assurance, you know?"

Yoongi curls a little more on himself. He feels so ashamed. Why couldn't he just say what he wants? Why couldn't he put into words how much he loves Jimin? Maybe if he does, then Jimin wouldn't be doubting his feelings for him like this.
"You never get mad at me. It's normal for a couple to fight, but why wouldn't you get mad at me, hyung?"
Yoongi also doesn't know why.
"Do you really care about anything I do?"
Yoongi's fingers curl on the fabric of his jeans. He wants to throw up.
"Say something. Please."

Yoongi can't get the words out no matter how hard he tries. It feels like a pile of ash has clogged up his throat, his stomach churning uncontrollably and causing his hands to tremble slightly on his thighs.
Jimin sighs, and Yoongi notes the tiredness in his voice.

"You're always like this, hyung. I'm not a mindreader. I need you to tell me if something's bothering you. Please, talk to me."
Yoongi clenches his hands together in his lap because they wouldn't stop shaking.

"Do—" Yoongi takes in a deep breath. His lungs hurt. "—D-Do you talk with Taehyung?"
Jimin's lashes flutter at the mention of the man's name, averting his eyes from Yoongi's face. "Why is Taehyung coming up right now?"

When Yoongi doesn't speak, Jimin sighs again and says, "Of course, I talk to him, hyung. He's my best friend."
/And your soulmate/, Yoongi adds in his mind, recalling the number of times that Jimin had told him how lucky he was to have a "platonic" soulmate.

Is that even the truth at this point?
"Does he make you smile?"
Jimin's lips part at the question. "W-Why are you asking this?"
Yoongi swallows dryly.
"I—I know, Jimin-ah."
"About what?"
"About you and Taehyung."
"Does he make you smile?"

Yoongi swallows dryly.
"I—I know, Jimin-ah."

"About you and Taehyung."
Yoongi lifts up his head for the first time that night and he finally sees the look of shock and perhaps, alarm, in his boyfriend's face.
His heart sinks.
"What are you talking about, hyung? Taehyung and I are not— we're not— we're just friends."
"But you like him."
His heart sinks.
"What are you talking about, hyung? Taehyung and I are not— we're not— we're just friends."
"But you like him."
Jimin falls silent at that.
"You like him," Yoongi repeats. "I know you like him, Jimin-ah. Not just as a friend."
"I see the way you look at him. How you smile more when you're with him than with me lately. How happy and free you look when you talk to him."
