'So, Jimin, what brings you to our school? I know I haven't seen you before.' Iyera asks

'Ah, yeah. I just moved here a few weeks back. I lived in Busan until now.' He smiles

Okay. Maybe I am crazy. He is not even frim Seoul. He is from Busan. I haven't met him. It's hust a coincidence. Besides, there are a million guys with the same name. Quite literally. Not that uncommon.

'What is up with you today, Ye?' Taehyung asks

'Hm?' I hum

'You'll make a hole in his face with all the staring.' He teases

Crap. I didn't realize I was staring. Shit.

'Oh, no, no, sorry.' I feel the wave of heat slowly surfacing to my cheeks. This is embarrassing. Now all three of them are looking at me. 'Sorry, he just reminds me of someone.' I admit. Kind of. I can't tell him I think he might be the kid I knew when we were 7 or so, and that I had a dream about him 2 days ago. I would be an absolute lunatic.

'Me? Really?' Jimin points a finger at himself

'Yeah. But I can't remember who, so it's kind of pointless to even mention it.' I sigh, looking down

'Oh, okay.' He smiles

*bell rings*

Thank God for that. This was not the most comfortable situation.

We went back to class after that, all 4 of us together. Tae wasn't planning on letting Jimin breathe as he kept hanging on him. Luckily for him, Jimin didn't seem to mind it. He seemed even happy to talk to someone.

'Jimin seems really nice.' Iyera whispers to me so only I can hear

'I guess so.' We only spoke for a few minutes. What can I get in that amount of time?

'Did you think of who he reminds you off?'

'I think I'm just imaging things, to be honest.' I sigh

'Figured as much.' She chuckles and turns back to the class

I need to let this go. He already said he's from somewhere else. We never met. I don't know him.

I'm gonna drive myself crazy.

'How has your first week here been?' Iyera asks Jimin

He has been hanging out with us pretty much all the time. I didn't see him talk to many people apart from us, either. Maybe he's just a big introvert.

'So far, so good. People seem nice.' He smiles

'Do you have a girlfriend?' She shot that one out of nowhere, and the poor guy almost choked on his water, coughing a bit

'Sorry.' He apologizes in a strained voice, wiping the water that dripped down his chin

'Too personal?' She asks again

'That's not it. Just caught me off guard.' He chuckles. 'But no. I don't. Besides, I just moved here. When would I get the time to meet anyone?' He snorts

'Good point, good point.' She nods in agreement

'What is wrong with this guy?' Iyera mumbled as we watched Taehyung and Jungkook come down to our table, laughing about something

He hasn't looked at me this entire week. Not since the night he climbed into my room.

'Sorry to leave you with these two, Jimin. This is Jungkook. He's like a brother to me.' Taehyung introduces him to Jimin

'Nice to meet you. Jimin.' Jimin offers his hand and Jungkook shakes it

'Jungkook. But everyone calls me JK.' He gives his bunny-like smile and sits down next to Tae. 'Girls.' He waves at us, setting my insides on fire

'Sup, JK?' Iyera greets him, barely even looking at him

I just nodded and looked down at my plate, avoiding his stare, which I could feel to the depths of my soul.

'Sorry about the ice-cold atmosphere. These two used to date.' Taehyung whispers to Jimin, but we can all obviously hear him

'That was ages ago. We're all good. Right, Ye?' Jungkook grins at me. Oh, so he is talking to me now

'Yep. All good.' I force a smile, but I can feel my heart is just as confused. Should I be happy he is talking to me, or should my heart break because he is still playing me and I'm allowing it. I want to be able to look at him without my heart squeezing. I want to be able to look at his handsome face without feeling like I want to cry. To smile when he jokes without forcing myself. But I can't.

I felt Iyera lightly squeeze my leg under the table, comforting me. She may not know about our little rendezvous, but she knows I still have feelings for him.

I smiled at her to let her know I'm okay. I don't want her worrying for nothing.

'So, you're new, right? I haven't seen you around. T here says you're from Busan or something.' Jungkook struck a convo with Jimin

'Yeah, that's right. Just got here recently. Still settling in and all.'

'How do you find it? Better? Worse?' Jungkook pushes again, leaning on his hand

'Um... different?' He chuckles in search of words. 'I'm still adjusting, but it's not bad. Thanks to Taehyung here, I'm not all on my own, so it's going well.'

'You're welcome.' Taehyung hugs him, flinging his arm around him

'Well, we are going out next week. There is a party at one of our friends house. It's like a tradition for the beginning of the school year. Wanna come with us?' Jungkook asks Jimin again

'Um...' he looked like he wasn't sure

'Come on. You gotta come out. Meet people. Maybe you'll meet your one and only.' Taehyung does the whole dramatic grab-the-heart act, making us laugh

'Sure. Why not. Got nothing better to do anyway.' Jimin caves in, laughing along

'There we go, bud.' Jungkook grins. 'You girls coming as well?'

'Obviously.' Iyera grins, leaning her head on my shoulder

'Guess I don't have a choice.' I chuckle

Nice to meet you. I love you. |BTS JIMIN HS FF|Where stories live. Discover now
