chapter 9

“Theatricals?”

The brunette's mind travels all the way to Jimin. Jimin is the one pursuing theatre and drama. He is just brilliant. But no, she will not dare say he loves doing what he is doing. He loves music. He has always wanted to opt for music.

She remembers exactly how he watched y/n play the piano. The longing, the fascination, the passion his eyes dwelt, it said it all. Jimin was subjugated on picking theatres. He did tell her how strict his parents were about him pursuing his career. It had been that way since the beginning, generations after generations. It was some kind of tradition in their family.

Even after everything she has seen the ravenette practice his daily routines with much dedication. Maybe as much as he would have devoted to music.

"So, let's go? It'll probably start soon." Taehyung asks and y/n just hums.

It is chaos and chaos only. A confused rush greets both roommates. The blunette is taken aback while the other stands firm on her ground, aware of what is happening and is about to happen.

"Y/n! And you must be the new guy?" An acquaintanted voice prevails the chatters. "Hey leader Joon. Jinnie!" The girl exclaims and hugs the latter. "I'm Taehyung", the blunette introduces himself over the riot.

Y/n face palms herself and pulls away from the hug. "Ugh I'm such an idiot. Tae, this is Jin. One the most handsome and my favourite going-to-be actor", she giggles. "And this is Namjoon. He manages the auditorium discipline, isn't that right leader Joon?"

"Ugh y/n stop calling me that-"

Y/n sticks her tongue out making the other males chuckle at her childish behaviour. "Anyways, this is Kim Taehyung. Also, my roommate." Y/n pats the blunette's shoulder weighing herself down on him. "Yah, y/n-ah you're one lucky girl. Here every one is dying to talk to this handsome guy and you're dorming with him", Jin exclaimed. "Not bad!"

Taehyung blushes at the comment, as anyone's general nature would be. "Guys, I'll catch up later with you. Let me settle this shambolic heads." Namjoon sighs but operates the crowd anyways.

"Okay I'll leave you two alone to mingle. Watch my performance. Bye!"

The two roommates are left giggling. "Where do you want to sit?" "Hm. Back rows must be better I don't want anyone pushing me around." Taehyung chuckles and leads the way.

It is comfortable. The view is good enough until a certain ravenette illuminates the girl's eyes. Jimin stands on the aisle. His eyes never seemed to rest as if they were busy in search of something, rather someone. As soon as it reaches the familiar chocolatey orbs, it halts.

As trite as it is, the world seemingly stopped. It is just the commotion of the students who are to perform, in the background. Which does not compensate much to their silent, sincere talk. His eyes are pleading. But the girl is not sure about the message.

"Y/n- oh. Looks like someone's interested in you too huh", Taehyung cocks in. Y/n shakes her head and turns to see the blunette wiggling his eyebrows. "Shut up Tae what are you even talking about?" He huffs and slumps back in his seat. "I said what I saw"

Y/n sighs in relief. She did want people to know about her relationship with Jimin but she equally respects the other's feeble severity, whatever the reason might be. The brunette observes him intently yet stealthily.

"Hey, Jimin. Take a seat man", the ravenette looks at the empty seat. "Thanks Suga but I'd rather sit, uh back here. Behind you?" Jimin turns back, anticipating a specific pair of eyes glued on him, which indeed was. "Nervous?"

"Maybe"

Y/n is busy comprehending that gesture made by Jimin. Maybe, maybe it is the beginning. The beginning of their relationship. Maybe Jimin was not goofing about when he said he will disclose their relationship. Whatever consequences may follow. Perhaps she is supposed to sit next to him right now. But how? She cannot just leave Taehyung by himself, right?

"We will start with yesterday's pending short films and then head onto theatrical performances. Please seat yourselves." The co-ordinator announces and heads back to his cabin.

Time flies and the brunette was genuinely enjoying the films until-

"Jimin!" Y/n hears that same awfully high pitched voice. It belongs to none other than Minseo. The brunette did not hate her but she could not bring herself to like her either. "Aw. Is this seat saved for me?" Jimin was about say something but Minseo sat there nevertheless. Hoseok and Jungkook chuckles seeing the ravenette all befuddled.

Y/n knew, she hoped too much out of him. Perhaps, she should stop now.

"Jiminie when will you perform?" "Soon. I don't know", he cut her with curt reply. "Hey Seo what are you going showcase? I really don't get you guys you know..." Suga chuckles breaking the awkwardness. "Our given theme is naked beauty", says Minseo and immediately whispers something to Jimin.

Suga gapes at her. "You mean nudes?!" Jimin and Minseo share a glimpse and burst into laughter, exchanging high fives. "I told you he'd say that. And Suga, no. It's upto the artist how they apprehend the topic. For me, naked beauty is what you see first in a person and how you treat them. Or let's say how you bring them out to the world. Regardless of what the world thinks about your observations." Everyone was awestruck by the depth of her insights though Jimin sitd tight.

Minseo lolls her head on the ravenette's shoulder, clinging on his arm. Little was she paying heed to the glare, burning holes through her body. Y/n could not bear to see the group chatting even for a second now.

“Can I rest my eyes for a bit?”
