2: The First "Date"?
Please Vote and Comment~
Yoongi called me up this morning asking to meet me at a cafe. I said sure and got ready. I was off work today, my first break since I started working there.
After I got ready, I took my medicine, looked at my scars that sometimes my "friends" told me to give myself. Then I looked at the scars that were given to me by my parents.
I pulled on a jacket since it was a bit cold outside, and went to the bus stop.
"Chim chim." One of my friends, Jaehee came up to me.
"I'm busy." I said. People started looking my way, giving me a weird look.
"I wanna hang out." Jaehee sat by me and smiled.
"We can hang out after I meet my friend. Don't you dare follow me." I warned. Jaehee had a habit of following me.
"But I'm bored." Jaehee whined.
"Too bad, go do something else!" I ordered.
Yoongi walked up to the bus stop, I hadn't expected to see him here. I guess we live in the same neighborhood.
"Uh Jimin? Who are you talking to?" Yoongi asked.
"My friend Jaehee." I smiled.
Yoongi scratched the back of his head,
"Hi Jaehee, I'm Min Yoongi." He said, looking in the wrong direction.
"Oh fuck." I covered my mouth.
Yoongi jumped, "What?"
"I did it again!" I had a habit of forgetting I have schizophrenia when one of my "friends" show up, so I end up talking to nothing except my imagination.
Jaehee wasn't real. I just kept forgetting.
"Well, let's go. Okay?" Yoongi said to me as the bus rolled up.
I nodded, "Okay."
We arrived at the cafe and I looked down at the menu as Yoongi kept staring at me.
"May I help you?" I raised an eyebrow.
"It's just been a while you know." Yoongi shrugged.
"You said something like that last time. What's that supposed to mean? We just met each other a week ago." I said.
Yoongi's eyes widened, "You don't remember me?"
"Sorry. But I've been through a lot in my life. I don't remember people I don't need to remember." I apologized.
"We knew each other since pre school. We were in elementary and middle school together until you left all of a sudden." Yoongi told me.
I tried to remember. After all the abusing and schizo, I forgot a lot, even some of my old friends.
Then that's when I remembered. Yoongi. Min Yoongi. My middle school crush.
We were like best friends until I left. But the reason we didn't stick together was because we never met each other out of school and he didn't know about my illness.
I felt something wet on my cheek and touched it.
"Are you crying?" Yoongi asked me.
I quickly wiped it away, "It's happy tears. I've missed you too, Yoongi." I smiled.
Yoongi just looked down, "I'm glad you remember."
After the cafe, we went to a movie theater together. Not like a date or anything, just as friends.
"Sorry, my friends want to meet me right now." Yoongi said after the movie."You can come if you want."
"Sure."

So we arrived at a park where three others were. Two I didn't know... One was Jungkook.
"This is Kim Namjoon, Kim Seokjin, and Jeon Jungkook. Guys, this is Park Jimin." Yoongi introduced everyone.
Seokjin? Jin? Jungkook would talk about him a lot. Apparently they are on a almost dating terms.
"I already know Jungkook. But it's nice to meet you Namjoon and Jin." I said without saying Jin's full name which caused him to look confused. "Jungkook talks a lot about you, and I got in a habit of calling you Jin like he does, sorry."
Jin chuckled, "It's fine. I've heard a lot about you too."
No wonder. Jungkook probably told him my whole life story. He does that to anyone he's close with. But keeps as quite as a turtle with anyone else.
"Ah. That's cool." I looked at Jungkook who was looking down guilty. Yep, knew it.
"I see you're friends with Yoongi again." Namjoon spoke up.
I looked at him with my eyebrow raised. He seemed to see my confusion and said, "I was there in middle school. We weren't friends but I knew about you because of Yoongi hyung."
I nodded, understanding now.
The five of us just hung out until it was time to go home.
Yoongi offered walking me home. I didn't decline.
When we got to my house, he looked down.
"What's wrong hyung?" I asked him.
"The reason I called you up today is because I wanted to see you for the last time before I have to go." Yoongi wiped his eyes before he could shed any tears.
My eyes widened, "We just met again and now you're leaving?"
"Not forever. I'm going to America to study for being a producer." Yoongi told me.
"Why can't you study here?"
"There's a program I like there." Yoongi said.
I nodded, "I guess I'll see you when you come back. How long will you be gone?"
Yoongi shrugged, "I don't know. I'll make sure to text you and message you."
"Okay... Thanks hyung. And may I tell you something about myself. I feel guilty for keeping it a secret."
"What is it?" He looked at me.
"I have schizophrenia..." I truthfully said.
"I know. Not any normal twenty year old guy would talk to himself like he was talking to another person at the bus stop. Also, before you left middle school. I saw your strange behavior. I looked up the stuff you were doing like talking to yourself, causing harm to yourself while trying to stop... I looked that up and more and found out you had schizophrenia."
Yoongi paused a bit, "I really wanted to help. But you left before I could."
"So why can't you help now?" I asked.
"Because now I'm the one leaving." Yoongi looked down, turned around... Then walked off.
I didn't stop him. I didn't want his dream to be ruined like mine was.
