Chapter 28 - Out of Your Flipping Mind

"And the gala? Why are you going with him?" I was in disbelief. I had no idea any of this was happening. It was so unfortunately unbelievable that it had to be true.

Smirking a solemn smile, Hanna who had been looking down this entire time finally lifted her face to show me her despairity. "Well, that was his idea."

"Okay, I'm pretty sure he was just being Kookie." Jimin reasoned to a flabbergasted Hanna.

"No, oppa, you don't understand!" She was almost screeching right now. "First he gives me this 'thank you' chocolate present, right? And then when I went to smear some chocolate on him, he did it to me, and then when I tried to do it again, he pinned me to the kitchen counter and sucked the sauce off my fingers! That is some fanfic level action!"

"Wait, what's a fanfic? Nevermind. Don't answer that, I don't want to know.. It just sounds like he was being playful.."

"No, no, no, no, no, no.. I was being playful, and he was being flirty."

"Okay well, no. You were flirty and he went along with it." Shrugging as he concluded, Jimin was so done with this conversation, as they've been having the same one for the last 20 minutes. He rolled his eyes harshly to drive his point home.

"Nuh-uh. Oppa, you weren't there! What I did was low key flirting, alright? He took it to the next level."

"Jeez Hanna, here look." Jimin, who had been sitting across from Hanna at the coffee shop, suddenly went to snatch her hand away from her cafe beverage. Luckily, her mocha was safely positioned in the center of the table. So, no casualties.

Putting her fingers in his mouth, he provoked protests from his female companion.

"Ouch! Hey, what?!!"

"See? Look?" Yanking her hand away from him now, it was almost as if Jimin spat out her digits. "It's not exactly flirty. If anything, its a clear sign of some unsafe cross contamination.. Remind me not to eat any of your cooking, ever?"

Playfully slapping the cheeky man's arm, Hanna grumbled at how unhelpful he was being. "Ohhh forget it! Trust me, there was something there.."

She was massaging her arm now, wiping her fingers clean of Jimin's saliva. It was definitely different. Even though Jimin had marginally done the same thing Jungkook did, it was different. There was no ball of fire inside of her as their skin touched, no sign of desire burning in his pupils like the youngest had (even if it was just for a split second), and definitely no unspoken tension when their bodies were within inches of one another, breaths bouncing off one another like a heated game of squash.

Thinking to herself, she wondered how much she would fetch if she auctioned this 'used' napkin on eBay. She can clearly see the ad: 'Used BTS napkin with actual Park Jimin DNA'. Filing that thought in the back of her head, she patted herself on the back for this amazing idea she had, in case she was ever low on cash.

"Hey, I've got a better idea.." his expression hanging an irreverent smile on his lips, Hanna knew this was another one of his 'brilliant' plans. Standing up from his seat, Jimin closed the gap between the two of them and knelt in front of her.

"Okay, what are you doing? Get up! People will stare.. and I am not getting caught up in another scandal." Hanna demanded through a gritted smile. Luckily this was at a less popular cafe during a slow hour, there was only one other guy there, and he had been completely fixated on his screen. However, she still didn't want to take the risk.

"Not until you say yes," Jimin smiled as he spoke, his cheeks curving into adorable circles that framed his face. "Will you Park Hanna, do me, Park Jimin, the honour of coming to the BigHit Valentine's Day Gala with me?"

"Are you out of your flipping mind?!" Hanna was certain he had lost his mind. "Get up, now!"

"Dont worry, I won't try and hook up with you.." Jimin assured smugly. An arrogant grin plastered on his face, proudly stating how much of an honour it would be for him to do just the opposite. "This is for you, lets see if Kookie will get jealous of me being handsomely draped over you."

"Okay, first of all, if anything he'd be jealous of me, and second of all why are you even doing this?"

To Hanna's suprise, the look in Jimin's eyes was soft and full of integrity. The flash of arrogance was no longer there, and beyond that smirk, she saw the Jimin who she had bonded with, the Jimin she had chose to befriend and trust.

"I already said, this is to help you and also.." and just like that the filter of arrogance was back on his face. The smugness that knew the effect he had on girls (and probably some guys) and how to use it to his advantage, painted like a mask over his vulnerability.

".. there's someone else I want to make jealous."
