(Y/N's POV)
Jimin continued to carry me on his back as we leave the school grounds. It got pretty dark already and all the streetlights started lighting up under the moonlit night.

"Where's the rest of your friends, Jimin-kun?" I asked while trying not to lean too much on him.

"They're at the dorms already. I stayed behind because I wanted to see yo— your department!" He replied back. He wasn't having a hard time carrying me but I felt bad since the walk is going to be at least 15-20 minutes and we'll be passing some stores on the way home, making it more awkward for the both of us.

"You can put me down now, I know you're getting tired..." I tried squirming my legs a bit to try and get him to let me down.

"No, not until we get to the busy streets. I don't want you to strain yourself..." he argued back. He readjusted his grip on my legs and with one hand, he pulled each of my arms closely to his shoulders.

I was getting too nervous and now that I'm starting to become aware of my feelings for him, I couldn't help but feel conscious around Jimin. I can feel my heart beating too fast whenever he struck simple conversations with me. While I observed him, I couldn't resist not touching his fluffy black hair.

"Yah! That tickles!" Jimin immediately shook his head to remove my hands from it.

"Ehhhh~ but it's so fluffy! I've never been this close to another guy other than Sho-nii!"

Jimin suddenly stopped walking. I was worried whether I became too heavy for him but when I tried taking a peek at him, he looked at me with a serious expression and asked, "What's your relationship with Sakurai-san, (Y/N)?"

I felt intimidated by how serious he was when he asked me about Sho-nii. I didn't know what to say without looking like such a big fangirl.

"Well he gets along with my aniki and I like him!" I cheerfully said. I hope he doesn't see me as an obssessed fangirl...

He slowly puts me down and I wondered why he suddenly got dejected and silent.

(Jimin's POV)
So she likes him... I thought to myself. I put her down slowly so she doesn't feel awkward with me. I still had my back to her since I don't know how else should I continue talking to her without my emotions betraying me. I scratched my head, not knowing what to do next in this situation.

"Jimin-kun, what's wrong? Was I too heavy?" (Y/N) was suddenly in front of me and she was pouting a bit. I've only met her today but she's making me fall for her every minute. She definitely does this cute act unconsciously.

"Ehh— no, I'm not tired... I just thought you wouldn't like me carrying you while we pass by those coffee shops..." I reasoned out. I didn't really mind carrying her, I just wanted to be considerate towards her in case she gets awkward with it. "But are you really okay now? Does your knee still hurt?" Maybe this is the reason her brother was worried about her condition.

"Oh I'm fine now! See!" She started skipping and she made my heart flutter again. Every move she makes is just so adorable and I couldn't help but laugh.
