Secretly Yours 💕 💕 💕 Vmin

Ep. 9 Friend's

After bolting from Taehyung's room, Jimin slammed his door shut and leaned against it, his chest heaving as he slid down to the floor.

Jimin (to himself): "What are you doing, Jimin? What is this feeling? Why does my heart beat like this every time I'm near him? This… this isn't normal, is it? I need to talk to someone about this... but who?"

His trembling hands moved to clutch his chest, his heart pounding wildly. He stayed like that for a while, lost in thought, before finally getting ready for school.

At School

As Jimin and his friends wandered near the playground during their free period, laughter and chatter surrounded them. Taehyung was on the field, playing football with his teammates, his every move radiating effortless grace and confidence. The golden sunlight glinted off his slightly damp hair, making him look nothing short of ethereal.

Jimin froze mid-step. His eyes locked onto Taehyung, and everything else seemed to blur. The playful banter of his friends faded into the background as he got lost in the sight before him. His heart thumped loudly in his chest, an unfamiliar warmth blooming in its depths.

Jeanie nudged Yoongi, smirking.
Jeanie (whispering): "Look at him. He’s totally mesmerized."

Yoongi followed her gaze and chuckled.
Yoongi: "Should we snap him out of it?"

Jeanie: "Nah, let’s see how long it takes him to realize we’re watching."

Felix, oblivious to their plan, exclaimed loudly, “Wow, Taehyung looks damn hot today. Anyone would fall for him.”

Jimin, still entranced, nodded absentmindedly.
Jimin (softly, almost dreamlike): “Yeah… very hot.”

The group fell silent, eyes widening at Jimin’s response. Jeanie broke the quiet first, her voice dripping with mischief.
Jeanie: "Oh? Hot, you say?"

Jimin blinked, realizing what he had just said. His face turned as red as a stop sign, and he waved his hands defensively.
Jimin (panicking): "W-Wait! That’s not what I meant!"

Yoongi tilted his head, feigning innocence.
Yoongi: "Really? Because you said it with so much… emotion."

Felix crossed his arms, tapping his chin in mock contemplation.
Felix: "Hmm. It almost sounded like someone is in love."

Jimin froze. His stomach flipped as those words echoed in his mind.
Jimin (nervous laugh): "Of course, I love him! He’s my brother, after all."

Jeanie and Yoongi exchanged knowing looks. Yoongi leaned closer, his smirk deepening.
Yoongi: "But Jiminie, the way you said it wasn’t very… brotherly."

Jimin gulped. His eyes darted between his friends, searching for an escape.
Jimin (defensive): "What nonsense are you guys spouting? Have you all lost your minds at the same time?"

Jeanie stepped closer, her voice gentle but firm.
Jeanie: "Jimin, we’re not teasing you to embarrass you. We just… noticed something."

Felix nodded.
Felix: "Your eyes don’t lie, Jimin. The way you look at Taehyung… it’s different."

Yoongi: "You look at him like he’s your world, not just your brother."

Jimin’s heart sank. He wanted to deny it, to laugh it off, but the sincerity in their voices made his chest ache. His friends weren’t mocking him—they were trying to understand him.

Jimin (voice trembling): "I… I don’t know what you’re talking about."

Jeanie placed a comforting hand on his shoulder.
Jeanie: "Jimin, love isn’t something you can control. It’s a feeling—a beautiful one. We’re not judging you. We’re your friends, and we’ll always support you."
