“you can’t keep doing this forever.”
you flinch. “i know.”
jimin doesn’t say anything after that, though his question lingers in the silence that stretches. then what are you doing now?
“aren’t you supposed to be my emotional support guardian angel?” you accuse, whirling around to face him. he appears initially startled by your sudden outburst, but then smooths his expression into one neutrality. always that damn impassive face, impartial to all your pleas for real advice you could adopt to make life easier.
and you – predictable. he knows you’re vying for advice, but it’s not his place to give any – as he has told you multiple times. to which you’ve huffed at, also multiple times. he faintly shakes his head, reveling in the folly that is part and parcel of being human. why don’t they – you – get it, he wonders. that there are no right answers in life, and no answer key to happiness.
even though he’s a little put-off by your foolishness, he has to admit the glow of the sunset makes you look very pretty. and he’s sorry for the frown marring your face. he wants to smooth the worry lines in your face, and put his hand over yours.
by now, you’ve turned away from him, though. huffing when he takes too long to respond, because you too, already know what he’s about to say. “i am. and i care for you. that doesn’t mean i can tell you the answers – or that i even have them. there are many roads to happiness, and they aren’t written down in a book as you seem to think they are.”
you’re adept at tuning out his lecture-style words by now, but your heart traitorously does a little flip at the beginning part of his speech. i care for you.
foolish, you think.
he is a divine being. an angel. he has no place in a mortal’s heart. you only feel this way because he’s a looker, with his fluffy blonde hair and plump lips and eyes that warm you all over.
jimin doesn’t know what you’re thinking, but he knows you’re overthinking about something. there’s a crease between your brows.
you turn out and look out the window, ruminating your problems again. adding one guardian angel to the long list of them.
