Jimin often complains about Hoseok's excessive showing of affection, especially when stressed , or in public. In fact , he sometimes has some trouble differentiating the true love from the fan service ,even though he trusts Hoseok enough to know he is not faking it , not too much at least . It's always been a game for them to reject each other's hugs, even at the beginning of their friendship. The problem is , he desperately needs affection , he likes being taken care of and is secretly fond of warm cuddles .
He could get attention easily with his friends , that's why he tries to hang out with them as much as possible to avoid the night , and being alone in his shared bedroom . Plus, he's also truly grateful to have someone like Seokjin to give him an unimaginable amount of comfort when he needs it , Seokjin unlike Hoseok , knows exactly when he's in need of a good hug. But things get thougher when he is alone in the apartment and has nothing to do but wait for something to happen . So Jimin tries checking every social media again and again until he's bored , it doesn't work . He needs to talk about his day , about that stupid thing he saw on tv , he wants to tell Hoseok how much he likes his mixtape and how proud he is . He finally concludes that he just needs the presence of his roomate in his visual field to feel safe and at home and he couldn't find sleep without it .
He then has the idea to lie down in Hoseok's bed instead of his , as if it would change something. He puts himself under the blankets , being careful not to drop Mang placed precisely on the center of the pillow . As he get comfortable , he takes the plushie to examinate its rather silly appearance . The big open eye and the heart shaped nose makes him giggle everytime he sees it , he can not help but laugh at how it makes him think of Hoseok .
He starts hugging it to his face , maybe he would find some sleep after all . As he is gently dozing off , a loud noise comes out , right next to his face .
''Jimin , do you miss me ? ''
Jimin can't believe it , Mang , a plush , is talking to him , that's it ! He definitely lost his sanity . After a silence , he decides to embrace it . After all, he got some company now even weird as it is .
''Why won't he come back and tell me good night and take me in his arms and-. ''
''Jimin , I'm here ''
''But , you're not Hoseok ''
''Oh really ? You're so sleepy you can't even recognise me ? That's so cute Jimin ''
Mang's voice was now too sweet to be real , he was clearly hallucinating it .
''How can you talk ?''
''I don't know how can you talk ?''
''Hmphh you're just as annoying as him''
''Okay , I don't really know what's happening here but I think it would be wise that I let you sleep , that's alright for you ? ''
''No please don't , stay with me I need to talk ''
''Alright , I'm here , what do you want to talk about?''
''First of all , you're the weirdest plush i've ever met , second of all , is Hoseok aware of your .. condition ?''
''My condition ? No Hoseok wasn't aware of it but , I guess he knows now ''
''Wait , what do you mean ?''
Jimin sensed a very light and soft caress on his cheek and it really felt like heaven . Is he dead ? Is that why stuffed Mang started to talk like a human ?
'' Jimin , it's me hoseok , I had no idea you missed me that much , i'm sorry ''
And Hoseok goes to kiss Jimin's cheek tenderly before going to bed next to him , carefully putting the stuffed toy away . He embraces him with his whole body , squeezing him with his arms and breathing close to his neck putting light kisses .
