/My Secret Crush / Jikook~

"Hyung, do you know why my private tutor isn't coming today?"

Jimin hears a pack of noddles being torn open,

but he doesn't really pay much attention to it. He wondered out loud

"Did mom change her mind about getting a tutor, or the private tutor overslept and couldn't come."

Still not getting a response he muttered in a bored tone.

"I thinks it's not very professional to be late on the first day."

the water boils in the kitchen,

Jimin takes a candy and tears it open. He contemplates the situation and suggests,

"If we can't find another tutor, maybe we should just forget about it. It's almost New Year, after all."

But there's still no response from Taehyung, which frustrates Jimin. He tries to persuade him by saying,

"Hyung, if you help me talk to Mom about it, I'll give you a hundred dollars from my pocket money."

When there's still no response, Jimin raises the offer, saying, "Okay, how about two hundred dollars?"

But even then, Taehyung remains silent, making Jimin feel like his money isn't worth anything.

Jimin bites his lips and raises the price again, saying, "Fine, five hundred dollars! Five hundred, okay!"

The next second, Taehyung's bedroom door opens.

"Why are you shouting so early in the morning?" he says, yawning.

Jimin looks over with his widening eyes as taehyung sits down beside him.

The noise in the kitchen doesn't seem to be stopping,

Jimin senses something is off. He asks Taehyung in a low voice,

"Hyung, who's in the kitchen?"

Taehyung replies lazily, "It's Jungkook. Didn't Mom tell you? He's here to be your private tutor."

Jimin froze in his place, as he shouted, "Ahh, whatt?"

Taehyung teases him, saying, "What, what? Aren't you embarrassed that you woke up so late and made him wait for half a day?"

Jimin turns red from embarrassment,

"uhm, Jungkook hyung, are you cooking instant noodles?"

After a moment, came a simple response from the kitchen with a "hm."

Jimin's eyes widen as he sees Jungkook walking out of the kitchen with a pot of instant noodles.

He can't help but stare at how handsome Jungkook looks in his white sweater.

Jimin, feeling a lack of confidence, immediately lowers his head and pretends that he didn't say anything earlier. Taehyung glances at them and stands up to grab a bowl.

Jungkook sits down across from Jimin and greets him, "Good morning."

Jimin replies, a bit timidly, ".... Good morning."

Jungkook leans back in his chair and smiles, saying, "I noticed you had a good sleep. Your brother knocked on your door several times, but you couldn't wake up, so he stopped."

Summoning up his courage, Jimin admits, "Last night, I stayed up late."

Jungkook playfully smirked. "Oh, Really? Or were you pretending not to hear?"

Jimin quickly refutes, "I really didn't hear it."

Taehyung, who has been listening, takes three bowls and chopsticks and looks at them. He asks, "What didn't you hear?"

Jimin responds, "I didn't hear you knocking on the door."

Taehyung  prepares a bowl and chopsticks for each person. He says coldly,

"Next time, I'll use firecrackers. Let's see if you can hear that."

Jimin was left speechless.

He eats his breakfast in a state of unease. He senses that Jungkook keeps looking at him as if holding a grudge. After finishing his instant noodles, he quickly cleans up and retreats to his bedroom.

In his room, Jimin opens his books and ponders what he said earlier. He reassures himself, 'It's okay. Jungkook isn't intentionally targeting me. He shouldn't be angry with me, right?'

Taking a deep breath, Jimin gathers his things and cautiously emerges from the bedroom. Since his table is small, he remembers that he and jungkook will study in Taehyung's bedroom during the private tutorial.

As he enters Taehyung's bedroom, he sneaks a peek but It's empty.

So, he puts his books down and walks back to the living room. He notices that Taehyung and Jungkook are playing games on the sofa, clutching the console that Taehyung bought with Jimin's pocket money.

Jimin is left speechless and asks, "Aren't we supposed to be studying?"

Taehyung doesn't budge and replies, "We just finished breakfast. You can go and read your books first."

Feeling frustrated, Jimin wonders if Taehyung hired a private tutor for him or just a gaming companion.

Jungkook laughs and says, "Jimin, wait for me. I will finish this round and then teach you."

Jimin glances at Jungkook, swallows his anger, and takes a seat.

Since Jimin has never seen Jungkook play games before, he can't help but watch him. Jimin notices that Jungkook's fingers are good-looking, long, and strong.

His concentrated face is also hot.

Jimin pursed his lips, his attention fixated on Jungkook who was deeply engrossed in the game. With a quick rub of his hands on his pants, Jimin grabbed his phone and opened the camera app, carefully propping it up on a pillow for stability.

He aimed the camera at Jungkook.

Taking a deep breath, Jimin pressed the capture button, hoping to discreetly snap a photo.

But just as the game came to an end, the room fell silent, and amidst the stillness, a distinct click sound echoed from Jimin's phone.

His heart sank as both Jungkook and Taehyung turned their attention towards the sound.

Time seemed to stand still as Jimin realized his mistake.

It's over.

OVER.

he is over.

HE! IS! OVER!

He forgot to put his phone on silent!!!

The room was filled with an awkward silence, leaving Jimin feeling exposed and embarrassed.

A/n: lmao 🤣🤣
