Knowing both of them well, Jimin noted how different Suga and Taemin’s personalities were. That didn’t stop Suga, though.
You guys have different colors. People who are fickle like a reed, like me, can fit in with both of you guys. But you two are not that.

Taemin felt the same way as Suga. He admitted, “I’m starting to want more,” while Suga agreed, “I want him.” Jimin still wasn’t sold on the idea. They ended up proving him wrong.

Taemin gave an update about his friendship with Suga during a live broadcast, confirming they’ve become good friends and keep in contact.
Thanks to that, I was able to gain a new good friend, and he has turned into someone who I have been keeping in contact with. And I am thankful towards Jimin too.
