Seokjin didn't know where to go. He didn't want to go back to his and Taehyung's and he couldn't go back to Yoongi's, so he decided to go to a bar.

He came across an ok looking bar, and went inside. Inside the bar was a little bit quiet, a few people in there having a drink or two. He sat down on the bar stool and the bar tender came over to him as soon as he saw him.

"Seokjin?!" The bartender said in excitement. Jin looked up, a confused look at first, but realisation hit him.

"Ken!"

Ken immediately ran over to Jin and sat next to him. "Ken, you're meant to be working." Jin said. "I'm on my break, but I'll get you a drink." He said.

"Can I just have Coca Cola then?" Jin asked. Ken nodded his head and poured him a glass of Coke. "Still don't drink alcohol then, huh?" Ken chuckled. Jin shook his head. "I have before but not often."

"It's been so long! I haven't seen you since college. I've missed you, you know. We didn't stay in contact much, to be honest I was starting to question if you still lived in the city." Ken sighed. But then smiled again.

"Well, we're here together now!" He tried to lighten the mood, but Jin was clearly upset and Ken noticed that. "You ok?" He asked. Jin looked up at him. His eyes were glassy as they were tearing up.

"No.. I'm not ok." Jin answered truthfully. Ken held his hand and rubbed his thumb across this knuckles. "You wanna talk about it?" Jin nodded his head.

Jin explained to him everything that happened. How him and his boyfriend were meant to be just going on a cute date and it was all ruined by his co-workers that constantly bother him, and his clueless roommate.

"That sounds tough. Sorry you're going though this. Anything I can do to help?" Ken asked, hoping there was at least one thing he could do to help his college best friend.

Jin sighed and shook his head. What can Ken do? It's not like it's his fault that he gets tormented every day he has work. Perhaps Jin should just quit his job...

"Maybe I should quit my job." Jin said, and Ken looked at him in shock. "What?! No! Don't do that! You'll regret it in the long run Jin." Ken said. Jin chuckled and nodded his head. Ken really cares, huh.

"Yeah, you're right. Silly thought I guess." Jin laughed it off, but he did mean it. Would I be a good idea? What if he fails to find a new job after that and ends up homeless because he can't pay bills? Maybe quitting isn't a good idea.

"Other than that, how are you?" Ken asked. The thing is, Jin wasn't like this in college. He was happy and ok with his life. He didn't self harm, he wouldn't starve himself or throw up his food, he was actually quite happy with his looks and himself as a person. That all changed when he left college, though.

"Me? Oh, I'm fine. How about you?" Jin lied. It's just lie, after lie, after lie. But that's ok. He needs to lie so nobody will make a fuss.

"I'm alright, my job as a bartender is hard though. We always get at least one drunk idiot who decides it will be smart to pick a fight with someone. And I always have to kick them out! It's always me! I always go home with a bruise or two.." Ken pouted.

Jin pouted back and Ken smiled at that. Even though they never dated, Ken would always call Jin 'cutie' or 'jinnie'. Basically any adorable nicknames.

"Ah, you're still so cute Jinnie." Ken squealed like a fangirl. Jin just blushed a little bit. Jin finished his Coca Cola, but his phone was ringing. He looked at the caller.

It was Yoongi.

He answered the call.

"Hello?" Jin said. Yoongi replied, seeming a bit panicked. "Jin? Where are you?! You've not contacted me and you've been gone a while!" Yoongi said, sounding a little out of breath. Jin did appreciate that Yoongi cared about him so much. It made him feel a little more loved.

"Calm down.. I'm at the bar. I found an old friend from college so I'm not alone." Jin said. Yoongi still sounded out of breath as if he'd been running.

"Why are you so out of breath?" Jin asked. Yoongi got his breathing together and replied. "I was looking around the city for you, I didn't want to annoy you by calling you. I was in a shop and some guy took a gun out and shot up the shop. I ran away in time." Yoongi said. His breathing was still all over the place, and Jin's heart started to race.

"It's ok, the police are there, they've arrested him I think. I was on my own, but I'm ok." Yoongi said, reassuring Jin. Jin sighed in relief. "I'm glad you're ok. I'll come home now if you want."

"I'm still in the city. We need to meet somewhere, I don't want you walking back by yourself. We need to catch a taxi." Yoongi said.

Jin told him what bar he's at, and Yoongi says he'll be there in 20 minutes. Jin hung up and looked at Ken. "The shop my boyfriend was in just had a complete maniac in. He's ok, luckily. He's coming here to meet me, but here's my number." Jin passed Ken his phone with his number on the screen.

Ken took his phone out and added he number to his contacts. "Make sure to text me when you get home." Ken said, and Jin agreed.

20 minutes passed, and Yoongi finally arrived. He was completely drenched since it was pouring down with rain outside. He walked up to Jin. "Jinnie?" He said.

Jin hugged him as soon as Yoongi sat next to him, while Ken just wiped the counters. "Are you ok? You're not hurt are you? I'm so sorry for running off, I won't do it again! This is all my fault.. if I didn't run off you wouldn't have.." Jin was interrupted by a pair of lips on his.

Yoongi pulled away and gave Jin a cute smile. "I'm not hurt, you're not hurt. Don't go blaming yourself for this. You were upset. If anything, I need to be sorry for not realising how much they torment you and make your life a living hell! I really am sorry baby.." yoongi said, ashamed to even look Jin in the eyes.

"It's alright. You weren't to know." Jin said. Yoongi took hold of his hands. "We should go home, but first, introduce me to your friend." Yoongi smiled.

Jin called Ken over. "Ken! This is Yoongi, my boyfriend. Yoongi, this is ken, my best friend from college." Jin introduced them to each other. Ken put his hand out and Yoongi shook his hand. "Nice to meet you, Yoongi."

"Nice to meet you too."

"Wait!" Ken yelled, startling Jin and the couple a few seats down. "Oops.. but, ARE YOU MIN YOONGI?! AS IN THE MIN YOONGI THAT OWNS THAT HUGE ASS COMPANY?!" Ken got all excited when Yoongi nodded his head and smirked.

"We should probably go, Ken gets dangerous when he's excited." Jin said and Yoongi laughed. They said farewell to Ken, and got a taxi back to Yoongi's house.

They sat on the sofa and cuddled, before going to bed to sleep.
