Best Friend Syndrome (BFS) || VMIN

"How's this one?"

"No, Jin hyung. It's too flashy."

"Okay. How about the one with a solitaire?"

"Aniyo. It's too big for his tiny fingers."

"Ah, this one. Look, it has small gems all around the ring. It isn't too big or ostentatious as well. Perfect for your best friend."

"Hyungggg...!" Taehyung whines at the word chosen by Dr. Kim to address Jimin and the oldest laughs loudly right in the middle of the shopping hall, attracting everyone's attention. But the man is something else. He wasn't the least bit bothered and continues with his teasing.

"What? Weren't you the one who introduced yourself to me as his friend in the first meet?"

"That was in the past, hyung. Move on." He ducks his head to hide from the crowd and keeps checking the numerous rings sprawled over the glass counter for him to choose from.

"I will. I will. But will you choose the ring today? Or shall I call your best-"

"Hyung not again."

"Okay okay. If you are so confused, you better ask him instead. Afterall it is for him."

"Jin hyung, tell me one thing."

"What is it, kid?"

"Have you ever heard of the term 'proposal'?"

"I have. Why?"

"Do you go ask the person beforehand to choose which ring he wants to be proposed with? Seriously hyung?"

"What is wrong in that? Me and Joonie had gone to shopping when he took me to a jewellery shop and I chose a ring and then he proposed me then and there. Simple and romantic." Jin smiles dreamily, reminiscing his days of the past, and Taehyung is sure he must have lost a few cells from short circuit.

"Remind me again why I asked you to help me with it." The younger murmurs to himself.

"Did you say something?"

"Nothing, hyung. Shall-" His sentence is left midair when the phone starts to ring.

"It's Jimin. Be quiet okay?"

And Jin could never have looked more evil than at that exact moment.

"Yeah, Jiminah. What is it? ... Yeah the meeting the just ended. Working weekends are shit, you know.... Where are you go-"

"Hey buddy it's me, Jin Hyung. Your best frie-mhmppfffff..." Taehyung desperately covers the doctor's mouth, horrified, almost dropping the phone in the process.

"No Jimin. Ofcourse I'm at the office. What? No Jin hyung isn't here. It's network issue, Chim. I'll call you later okay? Enjoyyyy." He hurries with the call and ends it as soon as possible, glaring hard at the oldest who simply rolls on the chair, laughing yet again.

"I hate you, seriously hyung!"

"Same here, kid. This is literally the 9th shop since morning and I sacrificed my leave and a good makeout session with my husband for this. You better choose it NOW or I'm ruining your surprise of a proposal for real this time."

"Okay, fine. Don't get all revengeful. I'm choosing, Jeez!"

Taehyung hauls up the oldest as they sweep a look at the brilliantly shining rings yet again, trying to get the perfect one for Park Jimin.

At Jungkook's house Jimin was skipping around the dining hall, while Jungkook sat on the chair. He was busy sipping on his banana milk, with one had resting under his chin, admiring the view of the certain someone for the last time.
