Jimin looked keenly to his left, then to his right. He hadn't seen Namjoon yet but there's every chance that his hyung would suddenly enter the kitchen without as much warning so he intended to be careful.


After making sure that the coast was clear and that Namjoon would probably not suddenly appear in thin air any moment from now, he carefully opened the cupboard which contained the sliced bread. He slowly set in down and picked a piece, placing it on a plate. Next, he opened another cupboard that contained what he had been deprived of his entire life.


Jams.


Jimin grabbed the jar, twisted the lid with all his jamless might, and set both the jar and the lid down. He quickly got a table knife, dipped it into the precious strawberry jam, and then spred quite an amount of the sticky pinkish liquid on the bread.


He topped it with another sliced bread, moving as fast as lightning in case somebody would catch him in act. Opening his mouth widely, he lifted the jam sandwich towards his craving lips.


Just then, a hand grabbed the sandwich out of his small hands.


"Hyung, you're not allowed to eat this," Jungkook scolded.


Jimin glared at the younger. "Jeon Jungkook! Who told you that you've got the right to-"


Jungkook took a bite from the sandwich.


Poor Jimin gasped. Anything but his jams!


"I am not-"


"Thank you for making me a sandwich hyung!" Jungkook said, flashing a silly smile as he munched on Jimin's sandwich which he had made for himself.


Jimin badly wanted to shove Jungkook inside a packaging box right now and send him to Antarctica. The guy was just lucky that Jimin was a caring hyung who always had a soft spot for their maknae.


"By the way, Tae is looking for you," the younger said as he finished the sandwich and started putting the jar of strawberry jams away to a higher cupboard that Jimin would not be able to reach.


Jimin rolled his eyes. It's not like he couldn't grab a stool and use it to lever himself up. He'd just have to wait for the next instance when he'd get the chance to sneak into the kitchen and get the jams that he deserved.


With one last scowl, Jimin sulkily made his way to his room that he shared with Tae and Hoseok, intending to look for the weirdest alien that even the aliens themselves wouldn't consider as their own kind.


When he got there, Tae was nowhere to be seen. However, something else caught his eyes.


There, on his supposedly empty bed, was a pale and bored hyung.


Jimin smiled. "Syubie-hyung! What are you doing on my bed?"


Yoongi glanced at him briefly, and then went back to typing something on his phone.


"Syubie-ah! Answer my question!" Jimin whined, walking over to Yoongi who was ignoring him.


His hyung put down his phone, but instead of facing Jimin and answering his enquiries, he buried his face to Jimin's pillow, hiding his face away from him.


"Hyung..."


When Yoongi finally faced Jimin and sat up, his face was quite flushed. He wondered if his hyung was ill.


"I've got nowhere to go now, Chim Chim. I'm homeless. No, not actually, more like roomless."


Jimin scrunched his face at the drama of his hyung, though deep inside he thought it was adorable. "What happened to your shared room with Jin-hyung?"


Yoongi scowled at nothing in particular. "I walked out because I'm too swag to be a third wheel. Namjoon's sappiness towards his undying love for Jin was tainting my swag nature." His hyung laid down again, this time hugging Jimin's pillow. "They're probably doing some magic right now."


In hearing the word 'magic', Jimin blushed furiously as inappropriate things jumped unto his thoughts. Yoongi looked at Jimin curiously, then upon realizing what made the younger flustered, slowly smirked.


"I did not mean that kind of magic, you perverted dwarf," Yoongi said, laughing at an embarrassed Jimin.


Jimin glared at his hyung. "Whatever hyung. It still does not answer why, of all places, you are on my bed."


Yoongi hugged Jimin's pillow tighter and answered lazily, "Hyung has nowhere else to go, Chim."


Jimin opened his mouth to retort something, but then Tae suddenly entered the room, singing loudly and wildly while waving his arms from side to side. "DON'T STOP, BELIEVINNNNN! HOLD ON TO THAT FEELING!"


Upon seeing Jimin, he walked forward to him and pointed at his face dramatically. "STREET LIGHTS, PEOPLE!!!!!! WHOA-OH!!!"


He then sandwiched Jimin's face between his hands and shook Jimin's head vigorously. "DON'T STOP!"


Tae's performance ended with him doing a Super Man pose. Jimin was in between scowling because of how dizzy he got after Tae shook his head without warning, and laughing because well, you just had to laugh when it came to Tae's crazy shit.


"I swear that you're getting worse each day that passes by, Tae," Jimin commented.


Taehyung's smiling face suddenly fell into a serious frown as he stared at Jimin, apparently remembering something. Jimin looked at him in curiosity. It was a serious frown, and a serious frown was a rare thing on Kim Taehyung's face.


"Hyung!!" Taehyung whined, suddenly changing from cheerfulness to a mourning state. The younger pouted and hugged his hyung.


Jimin, who barely knew what was happening with his co-95 liner, patted Tae's back in effort to comfort him.


"Kookie said you were looking for me. This is the reason, isn't it? What happened?" Jimin said in a soothing tone, completely forgetting about Yoongi being on his bed now.


Tae sniffed and sobbed. Damn, Tae was crying now.


Jimin furrowed his eyebrows in confusion while rubbing the back of Taehyung. "What really happened Tae?"


Taehyung loosened his hug to Jimin and leaned back a little so they were now face to face. "I think... I think Jungkook already has a girlfriend." And with that, the boy started crying again, hugging his hyung even tighter this time.


Jimin bit his lower lip, trying to decide what to do.


He slowly freed himself from Taehyung's hug and sat on Tae's bed, patting down the space beside him for Taehyung to sit. While watching as the younger seated beside him, Jimin remembered that Yoongi was on his bed.


However, when he turned to look at his bed, Yoongi was already peacefully snoring, naive on the drama that was taking place. Jimin smiled at how cute his hyung was, but then snapped himself from staring at the sleeping figure on his bed and focused himself on the task at hand.


Taehyung first. It's not the time for those things.


***** |J <3 Y| *****


"Kookie has a girlfriend?" Jimin asked with doubt. How come he was not informed of this?


Taehyung nodded sadly and stared at his hands. "I was playing on his phone when this certain Yoona texted him. She called him 'sweetie'. Ughh..."


"You read his messages...?"


"Accidentally only! Not my fault that his phone would display the message in the notifications!" Taehyung defended, voice almost high-pitched.


Jimin rolled his eyes. "And?"


"Well, I was curious so I read their conversation..."


"So, you still did read his messages in the end?"


Taehyung directed him a glare. "Anyway, when I read their conversation...t-they were very sweet and..." Taehyung sighed and shrugged.


Jimin, who was listening intently, pursed his lips. Sometimes Taehyung tended to overthink things. Maybe it was just a misconception. And so, Jimin decided to voice this out. "Tae-"


"But you know what? Maybe I was wrong and was only overthinking things," Taehyung interrupted, earning a sigh fom Jimin because that was exactly what Jimin was about to say.


"I think Tae, you-"


"Maybe I should just go and ask Kookie! I could ask him who Yoona was and just tell him that I saw the notification when she texted him, leaving out the details that I actually read their conversation!"


"You're right, Jungkook-"


"I mean, Jungcock would not keep a secret like this from me, right? If she really is his girlfriend, he would probably tell me." Slowly, a smile formed on Taehyung's frowning lips. "Of course, he would!"


Jimin nodded. "In the first place, you shouldn't have-"


"What have I done, Jiminie?" Taehyung asked Jimin with a dramatic gasp and shocked expression, interrupting Jimin once again. "I judged Kookie without really thinking thoroughly first. In the first place, I should have known that Kookie won't keep a secret like this from me. I should have trusted him!"


And with that, Taehyung clapped his hands and stood up, pulling Jimin with him. When the two were already standing, Taehyung hugged Jimin tightly. "Thanks, hyung! Your advices are the best!"


With one last smile at Jimin, Taehyung skipped away, leaving the room and leaving a confused Jimin.


In the end, Jimin just sighed and smiled at the retreating back of Taehyung. He barely said anything, considering that all the younger did was interrupt his words. That was why it was quite confusing for Jimin why the heck Taehyung complimented his advises when he had said none at all.


But we're talking about Taehyung here. And Taehyung was just...Taehyung.


Shaking his head, Jimin turned around and went to his bed, once again remembering that Yoongi was there.


As he approached the grayish blond-haired boy, Jimin noticed how peaceful his hyung looked when he's asleep, angelic even. The total opposite of Yoongi when he's awake.


Jimin chuckled at the thought.


He stared down at his hyung even more, couldn't seem to take away his eyes from the sleeping figure on his bed.


Finally, Jimin sighed, kissed the forehead of his sleeping hyung, and then went out of the room.


***** |J <3 Y| *****


Jimin bit on his peanut butter sandwich as he scooted aside for Hoseok to sit beside him. When he turned to look at his hyung, he scowled at how Hoseok stared suspiciously at Jimin's sandwich.


When he exited the kitchen minutes before, all the other members that saw him holding the sandwich did the same too. They all stared at Jimin's sandwich with narrowed eyes.


And just like what Jimin repeatedly did awhile ago, he rolled his eyes at Hoseok, opened his already-bitten sandwich and showed his hyung that indeed, it was peanut butter inside.


"Not jams, hyung. Satisfied now?" Jimin said bitterly.


Hoseok blinked and nodded. "Still jamless then, that's good."


Jimin ignored his hyung and tried to concentrate on the K-drama that he was watching. Jimin was already about to grab some tissues since the sad part where the main lead was being maltreated badly had started, but then his hyung chose that exact moment to speak suddenly.


"You like Yoongi, don't you?"


Jimin furrowed his eyebrows, expression in between confusion and annoyance because he was interrupted right where the show was getting good. "I do, of course."


Hoseok shook his head. "No, I mean, like as in like, you know."


Jimin furrowed his eyebrows even more, not quite understanding what his hyung meant.


Hoseok sighed heavily. "Jiminie, are you possibly in love with Suga?" He finally said straightforwardly.


The younger blinked.


Then blinked again.


The question was quite hard to process really. Did his hyung just asked if...?


Jimin slowly felt his face heat up and he looked away from Hoseok's judgmental eyes. "I-... Aish, hyung! W-what kind of question is that even?"


Hoseok smiled, seemingly amused at the younger's reaction. "You're blushing, Jimin. That means your answer is yes," he said teasingly.


"W-what?! No! O-of course not. Why would I... H-he's just my hyung, okay? All those kisses...those are just fan service... T-they don't mean anything," Jimin struggled to explain. Oddly, he felt an unpleasant feeling inside him when he uttered the words 'are just fan service'. He chose to ignore it though.


"But you enjoy them, don't you?" Hoseok prodded even more, making the other blush even harder.


Jimin's eyes widen. "H-hyung! I can't even... What the heck have you eaten today?! Go and find some other things to make fun of, I'm going to bed now." And with that, Jimin stood up and walked quickly to his room, forgetting all about his favorite K-Drama and the maltreated main lead.


***** |J <3 Y| *****


When Jimin opened the door to his room, he found Yoongi already awake and playing with his phone. Yoongi glanced at Jimin briefly then went back to playing.


"Hyung..." Jimin said as he approached his own bed that was being hogged by one Min Yoongi.


"Hmm?" His hyung answered, not even looking at him.


Jimin pouted at his playing hyung. "Hyung, I want to sleep. It's already 8pm."


Yoongi merely nodded.


The younger scowled. There was no way he was gonna fit in the bed, in the single bed, if Yoongi would be there. And not just that, his hyung was comfortably lying on the middle of the bed. Definitely no space for poor Jimin.


"Hyung...we still have to shoot and MV Reaction tomorrow right?"


Yoongi nodded again, still busy with his phone.


"Hyung... I need to sleep now. Please?"


Yoongi sighed, but still continued playing. "I don't want to move Chimin."


"But Syubie-hyung..." Jimin didn't know if it was just his imagination that Yoongi froze for awhile when Jimin said that. Jimin shrugged the matter off, what's important right now was sleeping. He's really tired.


"Not moving anytime soon, Jiminie."


Jimin glared heartily at his hyung. "Fine."


And with that, Jimin climbed up to his bed, forcing Yoongi to move aside and stick to the wall to give space for Jimin who was trying to fit himself to the bed, to his own bed. Jimin laid down and was happy that he was already on his comfortable bed. However...


"Damn, this is actually called a single bed for a reason, hyung," Jimin complained as he wiggled a bit at the discomfort of having too small a space for movement. They were practically squeezed together from shoulders to their legs.


Yoongi rolled his eyes and shifted a bit too. "Not my fault that your butt is too big."


Jimin scowled. "You love it the most though," he retorted, not really thinking his words. However, when he realized what he had said, he immediately covered his mouth and went red, eyes widening impossibly.


The heck, he did not even know where that came from. What the heck did you just say, Park Jimin?!


Well, that actually made Yoongi stop playing in his phone. The older boy's hands froze from repeatedly pressing his IPhone (the Yoonmin one) and slowly turned to look at Jimin.


Jimin blinked at his hyung, turning to a darker shade of red as he realized how close their faces were. "I did not say that," he said quickly, then winced internally when he realized how dumb that was.


"If there is anything that should be cleared here," Yoongi slowly drawled, voice low and face expressionless, "it is that I definitely love my own butt the most."


After that really embarrassing moment, Jimin decided to try to sleep despite his awkward position. Yoongi was still beside him, playing who-knows-what.


Jimin drifted off to the sounds of Yoongi's game. In his dream, he had realized that Yoongi actually did not really deny that he loved Jimin's butt.


***** |J <3 Y| *****


It was already late at night, and yet there he was, eyes wide open as he stared greedily at his phone.


He laughed hysterically as he creepily munched on a popcorn. With hands that shivered in excitement, he quickly opened his laptop and logged in to his Twitter account.


Username: ahoeforym02


Password: •••••••


He connected his phone to his laptop and transferred the photos of two boys sleeping side by side that he was very excited to post. He had many pictures of it actually; he just chose the two best ones.


When the pictures were already transferred, he began posting it on his Twitter account, making sure to put the #yoonminisreal with it. He had gained many followers today, probably because he always updated with fresh news about yoonmin that were not yet released in any websites or news programs.


With the companion of his popcorn, he spazzed all night.


===========
The part where Tae was singing wildly was actually an idea I got from this fic that I read. Lol I forgot the title though...


And umm... don't you think ahoeforym02 is quite creepy? You know what's creepier? We all relate to him XD.
