"It's okay... I'm just sad because you are sad." He was a sensitive boy. "My eomma says that it's good to cry. Better than keeping things bottled up." And his eomma was always right. He really wanted to hug her right now! "Can you come out, Jiho? I want a hug." Well, he wasn't the brat that Jimin could be, but he still knew what he wanted and wasn't afraid to ask for it.
"My appa says crying is stupid." Jiho didn't want to cry in front of Jin but he felt silly hanging out in a toilet stall. He opened the door and peered out at Jin, sheepish and feeling a bit like an idiot. He didn't feel good at all. Crying really made his head hurt - he forgot how much crying sucked. He hadn't done it for a while.
"Why do you wanna hug me?" He wasn't used to being hugged unless it was by Tae.
"Appas are wrong a lot. My eomma always says that." Jin moved forward and pulled Jiho into a hug, closing his eyes as he held him close. "Hugging is nice. It makes us feel good, doesn't it? It is warm and it's a sign that someone really likes you. I really like you, so I want to hug you and feel better. It shows we care, so I know I'm not alone."
There were so many reasons to hug. Jin pulled back to smile at him, a few tears still in his eyes. "Please feel better." He was so worried about his face too.
"I am, I just got a little upset." Jiho didn't like to make a big deal out of it. He just really liked Yoongi, he was smart and he got music, he reminded him of his eomma a lot. He just knew how to use music to make him feel... and sometimes that was hard. He hurt thinking about what Yoongi said. He thought he was a great kid. "You really like me? You're sweet. I don't know why you really like me but I like it."
Jin was so smart, so handsome and just the coolest guy. He was so lucky to be his friend. "I really like you too."
"I think you are my best friend now." Not that he kept a chart or anything, but he loved spending time with Jiho more than he loved spending time with anyone else! "You really have to come too when Tae and Jiminie have their play date, my parents will want to meet you. I told them about you."
He put a hand on his heart. "I love listening when you play piano, Jiho. It makes me feel all warm in my chest." It was so amazing. Finally he was getting what his parents had told him about music before. "Plus, you are so funny. You make me laugh."
"You make me laugh too! You're like a kpop idol." Jiho wiped his eyes and tried his best to look like he had his shit together, smiling weakly at Jin as he started to pull him along by his sleeve. It was probably a smart idea to stop crying and hugging in the boy's room, just in case someone wanted to use it.
"I want to come over. Me and Tae are free Friday, we planned it all out." They had lied and told their appa that Jiho had extra credit and Tae had extra gym. Ha!
"We will have the best day!" Jin smiled and followed Jiho out of the bathroom, happy to have had this hug. Happy to just be with Jiho, really. "I could be an idol! Or an actor. I'd really want to be a k-drama actor, do you like watching them? I love acting on stage, it's always a lot of fun."
There was a reason he was the school's mini idol. "I just wish I didn't have these glasses. They make me ugly."
"I think they make you look cool, you dork." Jiho laughed and reached out, adjusting Jin's glasses for him. "You're handsome, doesn't matter what you wear. Everyone is jealous of you, they want to be like you. Cause you're that cool." He knew, he watched boys copy Jin's fashion and girls flock around him.
He felt special that he was his best friend. It was so cool. "If you were in k-dramas, I'd watch them all the time."
"You can do that when we're old enough. We have to get married than anyway, our brother's have decided." And judging by Jin's smile, he didn't mind that decision too much. "I'll either be an actor or a doctor, so I'm a good match either way."
His parents had joked about that when he told them his future plans and so he had remembered what they said, even if he wasn't quite sure what it meant. "And I'll wear contacts, so I'll be even more handsome."
Jiho blushed and laughed, unsure how to respond. Marrying Jin? It was funny but he kind of wanted to. His heart raced whenever he looked at him. "I'd be lucky if I got to date you. You're so handsome, cool and smart! I wish I could be those things for you." He'd love to be worthy of Jin but he was worried that he wasn't.
"I'll look forward to the future. It's only going to get better, isn't it?" Eight years and he could have Tae all to himself.
"Yes! It will get so much better." Jin just knew it. "First Friday, then everything else. Because I'll get to date you when we're older." It was a promise now. "And we will have spaghetti on our date, like in that movie with the two dogs. And dessert with fancy chocolate."
That sounded amazing. "I like spaghetti." What kid didn't? "Thank you cheering me up, Jin. You're my best friend." Jiho grinned at him, excited to have their date and spaghetti. Maybe he could share some with Tae after the date. He was funny when he ate spaghetti, he got it everywhere. His mouth was always covered in sauce.
