"Let's take some time to write a letter to each other-"
"Starting with Jimin-"
All piled up in the living room of their vacation home, hearing his name spoken first made blonde's eyes widened.
"He will write to J-Hope, Hoseok."
"Looks like you'll have the best letter Hobi-ah-" Minhee smiled putting a hand on the boys shoulder
"J-Hope will write to Suga, Yoongi."
"Really?" Suga looked at the staff before nodding along coming to terms with it
"Suga will write to Minhee."
This time there shouts and coos were doubled.
Suga and Minhee... were each others favourites.
"Now that will be interesting-" Namjoon chuckled with a bright smile
"Minhee will write to..."
Her eyes locked on the staff members waiting in anticipation
"Jungkook."
Dropping her head on the table comically, her reaction caused all of the boys to break out into hysterical laughter.
"And Jungkook will write to Rap Mon, Namjoon."
"Oh? I didn't expect that-" The leader noted
"That leaves me to Taehyung?" He pointed
"Then I will write to Jiminnie?"
"Yes, V will write to Jimin."
»»————--————-««
All moving into different spots across the house to write their letters, the youngest member of the group was having the most difficult time.
"DAMN IT!"
Getting up, she darted over to the bed in frustration throwing a pillow viciously onto the hardwood floor.
Her cheeks were flushed, heart rapidly thumping-
Oh she was beyond angry.
But even worse.
She was mad at herself.
'Why do I have to write this stupid letter to him for?'
"Minhee?"
The girl jumped at the soft sound of her name being called as the door creaked open.
"J-Jiminnie-" She turned to see the boy walk in with a pen and paper held in his hand
Which rightfully so, happened to be blank.
Heh, I guess he was having trouble too...
But wasn't Jimin writing to Hoseok? Come on, that one's the easiest! Minhee could write a whole five page essay about her Hoba.
But with Jeon Jungkook, her mind was hazy.
"Yashhh! Do we really have to write these???" Jimin covered his face with his hands before stroking his fingers through his hair with an embarrassed smile forming
Thankfully there were no camera's in the room given how much content the crew already had.
"Minhee-ah you're so lucky-"
"You have Jungkookie, that's an easy one to write a letter about-"
Scoffing, Minhee turned to her side, putting a hand on her hip.
"Wanna switch?"
Both of them began to chuckle realizing how much of a problem they were having.
The youngest girl sighed before laying upside down on the bed letting her hair dangle as Jimin watched her.
He was currently sprawled out on the floor furiously erasing.
"You and Jungkook are like two peas in a pod, there's a bajillion things to write about-"
"-and there's a bajillion things to write about Jung Hoseok-" She mocked causing him to roll his eyes grabbing his pencil
"I'm just not good at stuff like this-" Minhee huffed puffing out her cheeks
"But you can write lyrics-"
With the amount of time Yoongi and Minhee spend in the studio, there's no way she could have a problem writing a measly little letter?
"It's not the same thing-"
"Sure it is-" Jimin perked up as he snatched Minhee's letter off the ground beginning to read it out loud causing her to spazz
"Dear Jungkook-"
"Jimin-ah!!" She began to chase the boy around the room
"Hi, it's me. Minhee-"
Pausing, Jimin was going to continue but realized there nothing left written on the page.
"Aish, so you really are having difficulties huh?" He smirked as she grabbed the paper out of his hands
"What Minhee-ah? Is there a reason you're not able to write to him??" He jokingly wiggled his eyebrows before breaking out into laughter
But that is what Jimin did. He'd tease as if it were his natural instinct.
Knowing that the 97's have a closer relationship than the rest of them, it was kinda hard not to poke fun at the fact.
Minhee and Jungkook were a rumoured pair since their debut so it was an on going running joke between the members-
but now...
Minhee froze, turning into a block of ice. She couldn't move... heck she felt like she couldn't even breathe. She just stood still. Like a statue.
Although Jimin was just playing around, Minhee's reaction made his eyes widen.
When he looked up, Minhee's bright doughy brown eyes locked with his.
Instant panic.
Her cheeks burned bright red as she quickly turned to face the other way.
"Minhee-ah..." Jimin's voice softened as he stepped closer towards her. It took about a solid 30 seconds before she spoke
"J-Jiminnie... just go-" She stuttered unable to turn around
"Minhee, hey-"
Okay, now he felt bad. Ultimately when any of the members are having a problem, Jimin was always the one to console.
Plus he gave the best hugs.
He embraced her from the behind, leaning his head on her shoulder blade twirling her ginger locks with his right hand and holding her waist with the other.
"Minhee-ah-"
He tried to rock her in his arms as a form of comfort, but Minhee didnt budge an inch. She bit the inner part of her cheek trying to hold back the threatening tears ready to spill.
"Jimin-"
Dropping the honorific's, uh-oh. Someones upset.

5 Minutes later
Jimin lazily waltzed back into the living room followed by a deep sigh; plopping down on one of the chairs, leaning his head on the coffee table in defeat.
"Guys, Minhee's mad at me-"
"What did you do?" Taehyung looked up to his best friend quickly shielding his letter from him (B/c Tae writes to Jimin)
"When I say mad, she's like really mad at me-"
"Oh, come on-" Namjoon spoke
"Minhee hardly ever gets angry, I'm sure if you just apologize everything will be fine-" The leader brushed it off continuing to write his sincere letter to V.
Usually Namjoon would be all over the situation especially when it came to Minhee, but was too distracted focusing on the letter. The members of Bangtan did get into arguments from time to time, but not ones that were drastic. They were usually about food.
Through this whole season of Bon Voyage, Minhee just wanted to slap and kick herself. She has been carrying these emotions about Jungkook for awhile now, although she never came to terms with it until they departed to the tropical island.
She would always play it off.
Of course she loved Jungkook. She loved all the boys. But when Jk's gestures started to absentmindedly make her blush even more than usual, she knew the butterflies in her stomach were real.
Deep inside, Minhee did always find Jungkook cute. She can admit that. Minhee actually loved a lot of things about him, though she mostly kept those thoughts to herself.
The reason she was so upset was because this feeling of 'romantic love' could be there down fall.
Bangtan Sonyeondan's down fall.
Before their debut, many people criticized them.
"A girl in a boy group?!?"
"What kind of nonsense is that?!?"
"I bet she sleeps with all of them-"
People would say the worst of the worst things on social media, and that was the reason a lot of the times Minhee didn't enjoy doing Vlives.
They would say the most derogatory terms to her (Even at fan events) telling her that she should leave the group and to stay away from their 'biases'.
Death threats were also present.
A statement was issued from BigHit, after that somethings calmed down. Not all, just some.
Back to herself now, admitting her feelings for Jungkook was like admitting to the haters that they won. If word ever got out about this, she was afraid of what ARMY would say too. She knew that the fans loved them with all their heart...
But the anxiety of it swirled around her like wild fire.
Moments later, Minhee burst into the living room beaming straight towards Jimin. He lifted his head from the table with worried eyes watching her. Silently, Minhee grabbed his wrist and dragged him out of the house.
Once Jimin and Minhee were out of sight; All Taehyung, Namjoon and Yoongi's voice's hushed, eyes lingering, wondering what in fact Jimin did. While Hobi, Jin and Jungkook were all in the other room goofing off.
Being a seeable distance from the house, Minhee stopped walking as she let out a deep breath causing Jimin to slow his pace halting next to her.
This was beyond embarrassing. Fiddling with her straw hat, Minhee clenched her jaw before turning to the blonde. The redness in her cheeks began to flare up again with tears beginning to well up in her eyes. Her throat tightened, her words not able to come out. She was really struggling.
"Minhee-" Jimin quickly embraced her into a hug
"Minhee my love, please don't cry-" He held her cheeks slowly stroking his thumbs under her eyes
Bitting her quivering lip, she looked down; but Jimin wasn't having any of that. He held up her chin causing, almost forcing her to look at him.
"You know it's okay right?" He let out a soft chuckle trying to brighten the mood
"N-Noo i-it's n-not-"
Minhee might be the baby of the group, but it's been a long time since he's actually seen the girl cry.
"Minhee-" Jimin wiped her tears away as she continued to sniffle
"J-Jimninee, y-you can't tell a-anyone. I mean i-it, no hyungs allowed-" She poked his shoulder
"And no Taehyung's either-" She dramatically pointed causing the older boy to huff
"You have to promise-" Minhee continued to wipe off the remaining tears
"M-My stupid self, I'm the p-problem, I could ruin e-everything-"
"Imagine how a-awkward it would be between all of us!" Her anxiety began to attack her chest
"I-I can't handle t-that-"
"And w-what I-if-"
"No-"
Watching Minhee spiral made Jimin's heart break. Minhee, kept to herself a lot. The girl never liked people to worry about her, but holding in all that emotion, pain and overall thoughts... it wasn't healthy. For anyone to say the least.
When and if the girl ever had serious problems, Minhee would usually go speak to Namjoon. He was such a good listener and always knew what to say.
But this reaction of Minhee...
reminded of Jimin of 2014.
And he couldnt have Minhee go back into that moment.
No. Not ever.
"I just have to get over myself-" She went on, continuing to comically shake out her body
"Minhee-ah," His voice softened wrapping his arms around her tiny body
"Do you-"
"Do you know how Jungkook feels?"
"..."
Jimin wasn't sure himself, but Jungkook and Minhee... they were like two pieces of a puzzle that fit.
You have Jin and Yoongi- (The besties)
RM and J-hope- (94's)
Taehyung and Himself- (95's)
and that leaves Jungkook and Minhee. (97's)
Each pair factually, were the closest to one another.
For the rest of them, Minhee was their dongsaeng. So none of them really held 'romantic' feelings for the girl. Between Taehyung and Jungkook, Jimin wasn't actually sure.
But Jimin and Minhee were the 'Park siblings'. Sure, they pull pranks on each other and have a cutesy relationship, but he always looked after the girl.
"It doesn't matter-"
"It can't happen-"
"And why not?" He retorted
"Because we are who we are Jiminnie..."
They unfortunately couldn't live a normal life as much as they wanted to. The press, who came up with exaggerated news articles...
Jimin understood.
Armies, they loved their fans and never want to disappoint them.
and let's not forget about sasaengs...
"It's not like we have a dating ban anymore-"
"W-Why would he like me anyway?" Minhee flat out admitted before she shuttered, eyed glued to the ground
"I'm n-not-"
"Pretty like the other k-pop idols..."
Jimin took a step back as a form of rage took over. He was appalled by her response. Is that what she really thought? She wasn't attractive?
"You're joking right?"
Minhee was some what taken back by his response.
"I'd hit you, but I would never do such a thing-" He comically put a hand on his hip causing Minhee to crack a smile
"Maybe hit on you, but never hit you-" He teased creating a chuckle out of her
"You are the most beautiful girl in the world Minhee-ah-" Jimin pointed causing the girl to bashfully blush.
Armies, Park Minhee is living your dreams.
"Aishh, s-shut up, your just saying that-" The girl continued to laugh swatting him comically on the shoulder
Minhee... was a girl who struggled greatly with her confidence. Honestly though, who wouldn't struggle with such things at the age of twenty?
"And i'm 100% sure Jungkook thinks so too-"
Tipping her straw hat down to cover her eyes, her body swayed back and forth trying to hold back her oncoming blush.
She highly doubted that statement was true.
He was Jeon Jungkook. Heck, he was the most searched K-Pop idol on google for crying out loud. Korea's 'It' boy she like to call him.
Jimin held his arms open causing Minhee to roll her eyes before accepting the hug.
"To be honest Minhee-ah, I think you and Jungkook would be an amazing couple-" She whispered in her ear rubbing circles on her shoulder
"Jimin-ahh please-" Her cheeks continuously burned in embarrassment
"I'm just saying~" He joked which caused her to crack a smile
That's what he was waiting for. To see her gorgeous smile.
"O-Okay enough-" Minhee laughed as they continued to embrace
_________
With Jungkook, J-Hope and Jin
"Hey Hyung?"
Jungkook questioned putting down his sheets of paper on the desk side table before getting up to look out the window. That's weird. Did something happen?
"Is there something going on with Minhee-ah and Jimin-hyung?"
Catching the two older boys attention, Jin and J-Hope followed Jungkook's gaze towards the window unanimously.
"I don't think so why?" J-Hope put down his pen, sitting up
The three of them looked out the window, down the street to see Jimin and Minhee hugging.
It was normal for the Park siblings to show affection, but Jungkook felt something stir inside of him.
"Let's go ask Namjoon-ah-"
As Jin and J-Hope left the room, all Jungkook could do was stare through the window. His chest felt heavy as his smile faded.
He didn't want to lose to Jimin.
