"Hi," Jimin says softly when he sees Jungkook come in with his purse in his hand. "Goodmorning," Jungkook squeaks when he sees the older. "Your purse."


"Thanks," Jimin says when he reaches his hand out to take it. The younger lays the purse in the older's hand softly, hand slightly brushing against the older's. "You got anything to do after this?" Jimin starts, trying to gather the courage to say what he really intended. Jungkook nods, hair bouncing when he does so. He bites his lip and looks away, "When can you leave?" he asks and fiddles with his hand. A sign on of nervousness. "Relax," Jimin says with a smile. "I'm not gonna kill you. I want to talk to you about something," he says and Jungkook blushes and blinks. "What?" he squeaks and Jimin sighs, making the younger more worried about what's coming.  "When did we meet first?" he asks, already knowing the disappointing answer. "In high school," Jungkook says softly and Jimin nods. "Do you know when I first met you?" he asks and Jungkook shakes his head just like a little puppy. "In high school?"


"When you were born," Jimin says making the younger widen his eyes. "Huh?"


Jimin shakes his head and opens his purse. "Just let me talk okay?" Jungkook only nods at the question, not knowing what to say. "Full or short version?" he asks and Jungkook softly squeaks out the first option. 


"Well - first sit down," Jimin says when he sees the younger shift weight from left to right. Jungkook quickly sits down, curiosity running through his veins. "I knew you from you were born. Literally. I was in the waiting room with my mum when you came into the world. I was actually the first person with the XY chromosome to see you," Jimin says with a fond smile. "We basically grew up together and blah blah. I saw your numbers when you were 16. 37682," He holds a hand up to stop Jungkook from saying anything. "Hyung that's not my number!" he whines but Jimin only continues. "As I was saying, I saw your numbers when you were 16 and I was 18. What I didn't know was that your parents were homophobic. And they freaked out when I had the same numbers just reversed. So one day, you disappeared. I don't know where you went but when you came back you didn't know me and you had an extra number on your wrist. Yoongi-Hyung has the same numbers on his wrist like those on yours," Jimin ends and Jungkook just sits there quietly shocked. The older takes out a small picture from his purse and gives it to Jungkook. When the younger looks at the picture he only sees him and Jimin. "Look at the numbers on your wrist, Bubba," Jimin says softly and Jungkook adjust his eyes and takes a small look on the numbers. "37682," he squeaks and looks up. "I don't get this?" he whines and Jimin sighs. "You don't have to. I just wanted you to know something from your past," he says and lays back on the bed. "I-I have t-to t-talk with T-Tae," Jungkook squeaks and takes his phone out of his back pocket. "I'm taking a picture of this," he says before taking the picture and lays the picture in Jimin's hand. "Get well soon, Hyung!" he says before running out of the room leaving Jimin. The later sighs and looks at the ceiling giving his tears permission to run.

"TAE!" Jungkook shouts when he sees the older. Taehyung turns around looking at the younger boy running towards him and he can't stop his eyes to divert to the younger's wrist. "Hey," he says softly. If Jungkook looked worried a second before he's ten times more worried. Where were the older's sweet nicknames for him? The smile? Not even a hug? A kiss? Maybe just a peck? What's happening!? "Hi?" he squeaks. They stand there for a couple of awkward seconds - something they have never done before - before Taehyung breaks the silence. "Do you want to go to that café?" he asks, something that never really needed to been asked before. "Yeah," Jungkook squeaks. He tries to take the older's hand but Taehyung flinches and Jungkook slowly lets his hand fall beside himself. 


When they get their orders and is placed by a table beside the glass walls they both look out at the street instead of each other. They both cough at the same time, making them look at each other. "Hey?" Jungkook tries and Taehyung averts his eyes so he looks Jungkook directly in the eyes. "I wanted to talk to you about something," Taehyung starts out and Jungkook nods, "Me too."


"Let's break up," Taehyung says and Jungkook only nods, "Okay."


"Okay? That's it?!" Taehyung says shocked. He was leaving his supposed soulmate and Jungkook only says 'Okay'? "Well. I wanted to break up too. Or take a break or whatever," Jungkook shrugs. "But I want to know why you want to, of course," he quickly adds looking at the older's shocked face. 


"Well. Yoongi-Hyung is somehow also my soulmate," Taehyung says and Jungkook nods again, "So Jimin was right," he mumbles. "Huh?" Taehyung asks and Jungkook looks up. "Well, Jimin said that Yoongi-Hyung had the same numbers like me. And I somehow got an extra number on my wrist because Jimin showed me a picture of me and Jimin-Hyung together and somehow I was his soulmate at that time. So I'm pretty confused too," Jungkook says quickly, taking a deep breath afterwards. "Well..." Taehyung starts. 


"This it is, I guess. The end," Jungkook says. "No!" Taehyung says quickly when he sees Jungkook get up from his chair. "I hope our friendship hasn't ended!" he says and Jungkook giggles. "Of course not. It's just the end of our relationship. Of course, our friendship has not ended. Don't be dumb, you are also my best friend!" Jungkook giggles happily making the older smile. "Well, I guess this is the end. Of our relationship of course," he says and Jungkook sighs. "Yeah. I guess. Well... Bye!" he squeaks and turns around to walk away. "Bye, Kooks," Taehyung says with a small smile. "Have a good day."


"You too!"
