2 + 2 = Oh...!
"Jimin? Jimin?" Xander called, gripping a blue box wrapped in spotless white ribbon. "Jimin, are you awake?" It was Jimin's birthday and Xander had spent months prior to the day to find the perfect present for the younger. Although their relationship started a bit rocky, Xander did everything to make Jimin feel loved, but the other seemingly refused to accept the other's affection.

"Jimin?" he called once again, one last time, before reaching out and pressing his hand against the hand recognition system. The door slid open and allowed him to step into his lover's room. The sight that came before him ripped his heart to pieces with just one glance. Jimin laid in bed, sleeping of course, with his arms wrapped around Zero's elegant body, his head tucked into Zero's chest. Zero had his arms around Jimin's waist, keeping him close. The blanket just barely went up to Zero's waist, covering his legs and up to Jimin's chest.

Xander choked on his words, struggling to stand. ''Has he been cheating on me all this time? Is that why he's been so distant? He never shared my feelings, did he? He never even said "I love you" once to me and now I know why. I'm so stupid, so so stupid, so worthless, and he doesn't care about and I don't blame him. I fooled myself into thinking he ever wanted me, he never wanted me. ''The negative thoughts immediately flooded his mind, and he felt his eyes prick with tears. ''No, no, I'm sure that's not the case. I'll ask him. He'll tell me the truth. He's not cheating on me. Have faith, Xander, have faith. He loves me... right?''

Xander placed Jimin's present on his desk, just a yard away from him, pressed against the wall. He was shaking as he did so. The pages of countless journals' pages decorated in words and equations were strewn across the table as well as multiple textbooks. ''Oh, they must've been studying. Yes, studying. ''He could've turned and left, but he felt like he needed complete confirmation. ''No, I need to trust him. ''He sighed and stepped back, turning around and walking out, filled with unexplainable despair.

He didn't know, but Jimin had woken when he entered. While Xander was setting the gift down, his eyes had flickered open to spot his boyfriend across the room, shaking. He watched him leave, but the only thought inside his head was: ''What... what's that box for? Slowly his eyes widened as he registered that was his boyfriend who had just walked in on him sleeping in the arms of another guy. ''He scowled once he realized. ''Crap. ''
