A WEEK LATER
JIMIN'S POV
"Okay guys since we are very, very few, let's add some members in our dance group." Our coach suggested.
"But we know a lot of people want to join this, and you only join when you invite them, coach." Jinra replied.
"I have something in mind." I smirked.
"I think I like where this is heading to." Jinchan added, excited.
"What's your idea Jimin?" Coach asked me.
"Why don't we tell everyone that there's an audition. So if they want to join, they have to prepare a dance number." I recommended.
"Hm..." I was waiting for our coach's answer.
All of the members were smiling, they couldn't keep their excitement in.
"That sounds good. I'll go to every classroom after lunch to see who wants to join. Then the auditions will be on Friday. I'll also ask some of the teachers to help me in judging." He answered.
"Yes!" Seungwan whispered.
"You guys are dismissed. I'll see you guys around." He said as we left the basement.
We went inside the classroom. The cold breeze hit my skin, making me flinch.
And seeing Jungkook only inside the classroom, made me flinch even more.
This wasn't the right time for Jinra and Jinchan to go to the washroom. This also wasn't a good time for Seungwan to sit at the bench downstairs.
He was too early.
Ugh. I hate it.
But still, I went to him and asked "Hey. Our dance group is gonna hold an audition at Friday. Wanna join?"
"Jinja?!" He widened his eyes.
"Yeah. My coach is coming here later to see who wants to join. You just have to prepare a short dance number." I felt comfortable talking to him.
"Sure. I really wanted to join a dance group. I sometimes even make dance covers and post it online." His face going closer to mine.
"Really? Where do you post them?" I asked.
"I post them on Instagram. But sometimes on Twitter." He said, moving closer.
"Oh that's cool. I'll watch them once I get home." I give him a small smile.
When I noticed our faces were just centimeters away from each other, I excused myself.
"Oh mian. I always do that when I'm very interested in the topic." He rubbed his arm.
"Its fine. I just needed to go to the washroom." I turned.
But as soon as I did, he grabbed my arm.
"Uh.." He let go of my arm.
"I don't know what song to dance to."
And there it goes again. He's getting nearer.
"You can pick any song." I suggested and tried to go out.
"But can you teach some steps?" He asked.
"I thought you do dance covers?" I tilted my head.
"Yeah, but it took me months to practice those. And I only have days to practice for the auditions." He explained.
"Ugh.. no." I answered.
"Please?" He gave me that puppy eyes with his pouted mouth look.
"Fine." I said in defeat.
He sighed in relief.
"But! In one condition." I added.
"But?" He asked.
"You should give me free food. Because I mostly get hungry after dancing." I smiled.
"Deal." He put out his hand.
Should I hold his hand? I mean –why not?
"Deal." I smiled, shaking his hand.
It was my second time holding his hand. It was so soft like clouds.
But one thing is that our faces were still so close.
"Oh what is this?" Ma'am Min caught us.
"Good morning Ma'am Min." We let go of our hands and bowed in front of her.
"Were you two pupils gonna do something private?" She smirked, which means she noticed our close faces.
"Oh. We were just talking about dance classes." I answered immediately.
"Yeah. Jimin hyung told me that there's gonna be auditions for his dance group at Friday and we made a deal that if I give him free food, he would give me dance lessons." The young boy was smiling, exposing our whole conversation.
"Jimin can teach you after classes then. Anyway, you guys are still so early. Just do whatever you want and I'll just be staying here if you wouldn't mind." She put down her things on her desk and started to organize the whole room.
"Oh yeah. I'll be heading for the toilet." I talked to Jungkook.
"Uh yeah okay." His smile faded.
I ran downstairs to the washroom and yelled like there was no tomorrow.
"Oh my god, Jimin is that you?" A girl said.
It sounded like she came from the other toilet upstairs since I didn't see anybody in the halls.
"Jinra is that you?" I asked, not sure if it really was her since her voice sounded quite different.
"Yeah. What happened to you?" She asked, concerned.
She was really concerned that she was already peeking through the glass door.
Although she can't go in since she's a lady.
And luckily, I didn't scare anyone in the washroom. Because nobody was in.
I went out and Jinra asked "Did you do something stupid again?"
I elbowed her as we went to our secret hangout spot. We mostly tell our secrets there.
The stock room.
Although its kinda tight in there, and I'm a little bit claustrophobic, its still fine. Since I get to be with my best friend.
So I told her. Everything.
"Oh my god so you're gonna really coach him? I wanna join." She pouted.
"Of course you can. You can always join me in everything I do." I hugged her.
"Even in taking showers?" She laughed.
Jinra and I are childhood friends, we have taken showers together when we were in kindergarten.
But we don't love each other in a very serious way. You know like boyfriend girlfriend stuff. No way.
We love each other as friends. That's it. Nothing more, nothing less.
I didn't answer her question though.
And the school bell rang.
"Come on. Let's go to the classroom already." I stood up from the box and gave Jinra a hand so that she could stand up too.
She grabbed my hand and we walked out of our hangout place.
I went in the classroom with her and looked at Jungkook who was staring at me.
And as soon as the classes were finished, I noticed that Jungkook has stared at me so much times I just can't count.
I was gonna get my bag and leave early since I was kinda tired when someone grabbed my arm.
It was Jungkook.
"You really should stop grabbing my arm." I laughed.
"Fine. But one question." He said.
"Make it quick because I really wanna rest." I looked at my watch.
"Are you dating Jinra noona or something?" He asked, which made my eyebrows jump.
"Are you serious?" I asked.
He nodded.
Maybe that's why he was staring at me the whole day?
"Jungkook, how did you ever think that we're in a relationship?" I asked.
"But really, we're just friends." I answered his question.
When he heard it, it looked like a big weight was lifted from his shoulders as he sighed in relief.
"Anyway, I have t-"
"We still have dance classes, remember?" He smirked.
"Fine. But Jinra said she wanted to join. So just get your water bottles and stuff and just meet me at the basement." I said as I put my bag in my locker and got my things for our 'dance practice'
"Oh yeah, call Jinra too." I added before he grabbed his stuff.
