Days Thereafter

We peel away from each other, turning to see Jin standing there. My mouth goes dry. My heartbeat picks up.

“Did you always feel this way?” His voice is so quiet and soft sounding. I’m nervous.

“I’ve liked Jimin since I first met him…” I just let my words trail off.

“Did you ever think of me in that way?”

“I think of you like an oppa… and one of my best friends…”

Am I making this worse or better? I do care about him, but only in a friend-like way…

He looks at Jimin. His face becomes stern and questioning.

“Do you really like her?”

“Of course hyung” He says quietly.

Well he better after all we just went through.

Jin looks at me more seriously now.

”Can we talk for a second… alone?”

“Of course.” I turn towards Jimin.

“I’ll see you back in the practice room, okay?”

He nods and just leaves us two there. There’s an awkward silence. I look at him. He’s looking at the floor. Frowning.

“Would you promise me something? It won’t be bad, I promise.” I just nod. He looks at me closely.

“If you consider me your best friend, don’t stop talking to me, ok? I don’t want this to come between us. I like you. A lot. You like Jimin. A lot. Since I like you a lot, I’ll support you and your decisions. I’m a nice guy like that.” He gives me a genuine smile and pulls me in for a warm hug. I can’t help but smile at how nice everything is working out.

“Yah, if that brat tries anything you don’t like tell me, ok? I’ll make him regret it.”

I laugh and we both start heading back towards the practice room.

Jin and I finally enter the practice room. Everyone stares at both of us. Kookie is the first one to talk.

“Jimin told us everything. Congratulations to you and Jimin!”

“Who said you could speak informally to me you rascal!” Jimin starts huffing and puffing and punches the air. J-Hope and V laugh, Suga and Rapmon are sitting together talking.

“No ppo ppo (kissing) during practice, got it?” J-Hope says pointing at me and Jimin. I blush really hard and Jimin just laughs.

I decide to sit on a chair by the wall. Everything seems normal.

_________________________________________________________________________
Practice goes on forever. They keep practicing this one song called “Danger”. I really like it, and of course, Jimin’s dancing is really… nice. I don’t know how long practice lasts but before I know it, it’s already 2 a.m. They end with a song called “Hip Hop Lover”. I yawn and stretch in the chair.

“Ok, thanks for inviting me tonight! I’m tired just looking at you, you guys must be exhausted. I’ll be back tomorrow!” I stand and wave, heading towards the door.

“Wait, I need to walk you home!”
