'Mooorning!' Tzuna hung herself on my back from behind as I was walking down the hall of the school, greeting me with the chirpiest voice
'Morning, morning.' I chuckle, trying to set myself free
'Where's your bodyguard?' She released me, but she locked her arms with mine
It took me a second to figure out what she meant. 'Oh, he'll most likely be late.' If he's not here by now, then he's taking Yujin to school
'Damn it. He said he would go with me to report those two assholes.' She grimaces
'Don't worry, there is enough time in the day. We can go around lunch. It's too early anyway.' I chuckle
'I suppose you're right.' She sighed dramatically, but then her face changed into one of anger. 'Aaand we have incoming.'
Minyu and Binna were waiting by my locker, my very bent in locker, wanting to talk to me.
'Angel-' Binna started, but Minyu cut in
'We're sorry. We were just joking. We didn't mean it.'
'Yeah, it was just for fun. It's not that serious. I swear.'
They kept rambling, and I just stood there smiling at them lightly, but only three words left my lips.
'Go fuck yourselves.'
There were a few people walking by as they usually do, watching whatever was unfolding in front of them. And a few gasps came through at my words.
'Angel-'
'Save it. I don't care, to he honest. The dirt on the bottom of my shoe means more to me than your fake ass apology. At least they go well with your personality now.' I just kept smiling, with Tzuna chuckling lightly next to me, and it seems to have pissed them off.
Minyu made some kind of angry face and was about to yell at me or something, and I wondered why she suddenly shut herself up, but then I felt an arm wrapping around my shoulder.
I thought it might have been Jungkook or Hobi, as they do, but it was Jimin.
He was almost pulling me under his arm, but he was glaring at the two of them much like he did yesterday. Minus the raging punch. But his jaw was a bit clenched and his eyes were shooting daggers
'Please, finish those words.' He spoke to Minyu in that sharp tone, and she only gulped, pulling away Binna as they ran off down the hall
But that's not what I care about. It was Jimin's arm around my shoulder. We only hugged not even a handful of times, and right now, he was half hugging me in the middle of the school hallway.
Even Tzuna was just staring, not knowing what to say.
He leaned closer, talking into my ear. 'You finally said something. Kind of makes me proud.'
'Ye-yeah.' I nodded lightly. 'I've been told I had to.'
He giggled in that cute way, actually hugging me normally, both his arms wrapping around my shoulders to hold me close for a few moments before letting go.
'Come on. We'll deal with those later.' He patted my head gently and walked into the class, leaving both me and Tzuna to look at each other. Along with a few others who were watching it all.
'What was that?!' She whisper-yells at me
'I have no idea.' I mumble back, just doing my best not to turn red
She shuffled closer to me, giggling away. 'We need to have a one on one. ASAP.'
Great. Gossip girl talk. And it's gonna be all about Jimin. I can smell it.
'One on one about what?' Hobi was giggling along, just standing aside, almost between the two of us, scaring us both
'Jesus, Hobi.' I jumped a bit while Tzuna only beamed at him
It was actually kind of cute seeing him kiss her on the cheek softly, wishing her good morning.
'Well, I was just curious about Jimin and her. He just hugged her.'
'Oooh, can I join this little convo? I wanna hear the juicy details.' Hobi is the biggest gossip
'There is no juicy detail, so you can relax.' I sigh
'So, lunch time?' Hobi completely ignores me, making plans with Tzuna
'Absolutely. The more the merrier.' She was all flushed, giggling at him
I tried to slip away unnoticed, but I only got pulled back by my bag. 'Don't think you're getting out of this, miss America. I have questions.' Hobi is full on sass today
'There is nothing to answer, so please, just let me breathe. Just one day. Please.' I whine
'You have peace. Until lunchtime.'
By lunchtime, I'll hide away and escape, so I'll just take this as a half win and run.
I walked in and met Jimin's eyes right away. He only smiled at me, lightly patting the chair next to him, and I gladly obliged.
'What's with the sullen face?' He asks although I didn't even notice I had one
'Tzuna and Hobi are planning a torture of some sorts, so I'm trying to mentally prepare myself if I don't manage to run away.' I admit, slamming my face into the desk in front of me, sighing in frustration
He chuckled a little at me, 'What about?'
If I say him or us, it's gonna make him uncomfortable, so a lie it is. Although, I don't like lying to him
'Nothing important.' I chuckle, lifting my head off the desk, to see him looking back at me
His eyes were darting all over my face, and then he just nodded, ever so slightly that it's barely noticeable, and then he simply looked away from me.
What the hell was that?
-----
He didn't really talk much to me during the class. Or at all. But I didn't really wanna ask why. I feel like that would only make it worse, but lunchtime came, and I needed to run.
I didn't mean to be rude or mean to him, but the bell rang, and that was my sign to run for the hills. I've looked back a few times during class, and Tzuna and Hobi were grinning at me, with Hobi occasionally wiggling his eyebrows. That was a sign that I'll be mentally tortured.
I grabbed my bag and almost sprinted out of the class the first chance I got, running for the back exit that leads to the school yard, but I didn't get far.
'Jesus, you're fast.' Hobi almost pulled me on my ass backwards, as he caught up to me and pulled me by my bag
'Hobi, I have things to do. Can we postpone this, whatever this is?' I plead
'Nice try.' He grins. 'Come, come.' He almost headlocked me as he dragged me along, with Tzuna joining us soon enough
'Okay, okay! I'm walking, just... let me breathe. Please!' I was smacking his arm, wanting to be set free
'No can do. You'll run if I let go. I gotta secure you.' He giggled as he dragged me into the cafeteria where I was trying to run away from.
'People are staring. Let me go, Hobi. I will bite you.' I threaten
'No need to do that. We have arrived.' He snickers and pulls me down with him, with Tzuna sitting on the other side of me so I can't run anywhere.
'So, this is simple. We ask, you answer. Capiche?' Tzuna grins
'Fuck me....' I cursed, letting out the deepest sigh known to human kind
'I'll take that as a yes.' Hobi giggles. 'Shall we begin?' He rubs his hands mischievously, looking ready to cause trouble
'Okay, first question.' Tzuna scoots even closer, getting a bit too close. 'What is going on with you and Jimin?'
'Since when?'
'You seem close.'
'You have been friendly lately.'
'You even sit together.'
'Do you go home together?'
They were firing question at the speed of light, and I truly didn't wanna answer a single one. Especially not to Hobi. He is one of Jimin's best friends. If I ever said a thing to him, Jimin would be the first to know within a span of minutes. So fuck that.
'Come on! Don't hit us with that silent treatment! We need answers!' Tzuna whines, shaking me lightly
I'll just keep quiet and stare ahead, pretending I don't hear them.
'Come on, we won't tell him!' Hobi pushes as well
'Guys, can you just leave me alone? I told you there is nothing going on. There's nothing to answer. Now, can you back off?'
'Okay. One question. Just answer one. One and done?' Tzuna offers, havin Hobi agree
I just sighed deeply, and she took that as a yes.
'Do you like him?'
The question I was dreading the most. The one I don't wanna answer.
'No, no, no. You either answer or I'm taking this as a confirmation.' Tzuna keeps teasing
'Come on. Seriously. I won't tell him if that's what you're afraid of.' Hobi says to me a bit more seriously. 'Do you like him?'
They weren't letting this go, and it seems that I can't even stay quiet.
'No. I don't like him. I don't feel that way about him.'
This might be the biggest lie of my life, considering I am crazy in love with him. I keep falling deeper and harder for him with each breath I take.
'Now, are we done?'
'Sorry to crash whatever is going on here, but we kinda have to go and report those two, if you're ready.'
