'So, did you end up having an inside pool?' I saw Jimin fiddling around his locker and decided to join him, teasing him a bit
He was a bit surprised for a moment but pulled himself together equally fast and smiled at me in that beautiful way that makes me lost in my own mind.
'Hi. And almost. He thought he could make a bath for himself.' He chuckled through the sigh
'He gets some crazy ideas.' I giggle at his misfortune
'You're telling me.' He shakes his head. 'Are you sure you don't wanna take him?' He sounded like he's pleading
'I feel like I should get something in return for it.'
'Can't believe I have to pay to get some peace.' He smiles, obviously joking
I heard yelling behind me, but I didn't get a chance to turn and look before someone smacked into my back full force, causing me to fall right into Jimin, making him stumble as well.
But it seems he is a lot stronger than it seems, as he held me tightly, saving me from what would have been a sure fall on my face. A face that is currently in his chest, with his arms wrapped around me.
'What the hell?' Jimin yelled at someone behind me, then spoke to me in almost panicked voice. 'Are you okay? Hurt?'
'No, I'm- I'm not hurt. Are you okay?' I really did fall hard into him. Quite literally.
'Don't worry. I'm fine.'
'Shit! Sorry!' I recognise that voice in my deepest nightmares. It was Taehyung so slammed into me. 'You're a fucking idiot.' He smacked someone
I couldn't see as I was still being hugged by Jimin, but if I wanna save my face, I gotta move. I pulled away slowly. 'Thank you. And... sorry.'
'These two idiots made a mess. You have nothing to apologize for.' He let go of me, straightening himself
'Damn. I didn't think I pushed you that hard.' Jungkook laughs. Of course it's gonna be that moron
'If you are trying to kill me, there are better ways to do it.' I scold them
'Sorry, sorry. This mongrel is a fucking tank.' Taehyung smacks Jungkook again, but it only made him giggle. It didn't sound like a fake apology, and that's just weird. Taehyung is by far the worst one towards me. He never once apologized for a single thing. What the hell is going on?
'Weak pussies.' Jungkook flexes. 'And good morning.'
'Yeah, great welcome. Dumbass.' Jimin tells him off
'Don't be a party pooper. It was an accident. And everyone's fine. You saved her. No harm done, right?' Jungkook grins at him
'I'd rather not be ran over, please, and thank you.' It didn't even hurt much, but Jimin could have gotten hurt
'Let's move before we both die.' Jimin tugs on my sleeve
'Yes, please.' No need to tell me twice. I went with him without even looking back. This woke me up real quick
'Are you sure you're okay?' I ask him, afraid he's in pain or something
'All good. Pinky promise.' He smiled, and the next thing I felt was his finger wrapping around mine, making me look down in shock
'Pinky promise.' I whispered to myself, wanting nothing more than to lace all of my fingers with his, but he let go, pulling his hand away. It's for the better anyway.
'Where are you going?' I was about to walk to my desk where Hobi seems to have been sat at already, waving at me, but Jimin looked at me with an expression I haven't quite seen before.
'Let him sit with Tzuna. You'll end up swapping anyway. Might as well stay here.'
Can you stop melting me with that soft tone, please?!!
'Sorry.' I mumbled, taking my seat next to him quietly, but then I noticed him pulling his chair a bit closer that usual. Not a crazy difference, but enough for me to notice. 'Not using the wall today?' I decide to joke a bit, to difuse the awkwardness within myself
'Thanks to those two, I'm wide awake. But, are you okay? He petty much fell right on you.'
'I think you got it a lot worse than I did.'
'I'm not as weak as you might think.' He smiles. 'You may not see me like one, but I am a guy.'
What is he on about? How could I not see him as a guy? What else am I supposed to see him as?
'That's- that's not what I meant. I'm aware you're a guy.' A damn good-looking one. 'I just meant that I fell pretty hard on you. Must have hurt.'
'Not at all. I'm used to a lot worse with Yujin jumping on my face every morning.' He chuckles. 'You worry too much.' He patted my head for some reason, and I swear all the sounds just seized. I'm just not sure if it's in my head, if it's my heart thumping so loudly that it's muffling all the other sounds, or if everyone who saw what he did ended up in shock as well.
Against my better judgement, I turned, just barely, and realised it wasn't in my head. The desk behind us was looking between the two of us. Hobi and Tzuna were looking this way, too, both of them with eyes wide open. A few desks on the right side of the room were whispering something quietly, too.
Time to turn and pretend nothing happened.
-----
'You're coming with me!' Tzuna pretty much pulled me from the desk, dragging me out of the class as soon as the bell for the lunchtime rang
'Show down, woman! We're both gonna die!' I was tripping over my own feet with how fast she pulled me
She dragged me all the way to the cafeteria, pulling me equally hard down on the seat. 'Okay. Talk.' She was grinning in that excited manner, shaking her knees
'What? What are you on about?'
'You and Jimin? What the hell was that? Since when?!' She almost squealed
'There's nothing going on. We're friends, that's all.' I chuckle, explaining to her. Not that I want to.
'He never talks to anyone, and he even patted your head. What was that about?! That was so cuuuuute.'
'We were joking about something. You're just blowing this out of proportion.' I let out an uncomfortable chuckle
She leans in closer, her nose almost touching mine. It was a bit too close, if I'm honest. 'But... you like him. Don't you?'
'No?' That didn't sound convincing after all
'You big, fat, liar!' She smacks my shoulder. 'How come you're blushing like crazy then?' She pokes my cheek
'Because you're way too close, Tzuna. I can count your lashes.' I use it as an excuse, and it seems to work
'Oh, sorry.' She pulled back. 'But, seriously, you two look cute together. Even Hobi thinks so.'
Hobi? What the... speaking of, let's switch the subject.
'Talking of Hobi, how is that going?' I put up that fake smile, pretending to be interested
'Oh my gooood! I haven't told you!!' She forgot all about personal space and hugged me so tightly that I almost fell off the bench. If I didn't hold on to the table, I'd land on my ass
'We kissed! More than once!' She squeals. 'I love him.' She suddenly melted on my shoulder, almost sliding off so I had to hold her
'Jesus, Tzuna.' This was actually hilarious. She was completely crazy about him, and the way she is melting just talking about him is kind of wholesome
'I can't help it, Angel. I just wanna hold him like this and smooch him like this.' She squished my face between her hands, turning me into a squishy, then puckering her lips, coming waaaay too close to me
'Oookay, calm down cowgirl.' It made me laugh a bit too much, and I had to pull back to save myself. She is too excited.
But I see why. She has been into him for a while, and he didn't just sleep with her and leave her right away, which is a new thing for him. So it might be that he actually likes her. Seeing her like this, I hope he does.
'So are you together or what...?'
'Not yet. Officially at least. But we've gone out multiple times, and he acts like a boyfriend. He holds my hand when we're out, and even in school he sits with me and says hello every morning. He even walked me home the other day. I thought I was going to burst.' She is a mess. A peachy, mess. So cute.
'I'm happy for you, Tzuna. Truly. I know how much you like him.' I smile at her
'I still can't believe how stupid I was to even think that you might be into him. I'm such an idiot.' This wasn't just a fake statement. She meant it.
'I get it. It looked wrong. But stop stressing and enjoy it, Tzuna. Just be happy.'
