Chapter 16

"And then he said you should put your grades up for adoption cause you clearly can't raise them." You laughed as you told Jimin the joke your professor told you the other day about one of his former students that dropped out. It was really unfortunate, but you couldn't help but to not laugh at the situation.

Jimin smiled and quietly chuckled along. "Yeah that's hilarious." He says so weakly which caused your laughter to start dying.

You gently touch his arm as he was laying his head down on the table. "Hey you okay Jimin?"

"I'm fine, don't stress it Kiwi." He said, as he pulled your hand lightly off of him.

You pulled back in a frown. "I'm getting really worried about you Jimin. Lately you've been coming home pretty late, hardly eating, and you just seem so tired. You're always going to sleep or going off to class early before I even get a chance to talk to you. Are you sure you're alright?" You asked, concerned for your best friend and his well being.

He slowly raised his head up to face you, giving you one of his best smiles that he could manage. "I'm okay, don't worry about it Kiwi."

You shake your head. "I am gonna worry. Is this about the show that's coming up in two weeks?" You ask.

He didn't say anything for a second and then nodded his head. "Yup! I guess I'm just stressed out and hoping it all works out."

"You'll do great! You always do and I'm sure this show won't be any different."

He chuckles. "I would hope so." He smiles, now slightly going back to his pure Jimin smiles instead of the facade he was trying to pull on you.

"That's good I–"

"Ugh" Jimin yelled as he held his forehead. That quickly alerted your inner nurse instincts as a waterfall of questions spilled out of your mouth.

"What's wrong? Are you okay? Did you hurt something? Do you have a fever? What's–"

"I'm fine!" He says, holding in a pained smile. "It's probably just a bad migraine, I'll take my meds and will be all good." He says.

You always worried whenever this happened to him. This wasn't the first time at all as you recalled around the summer before high school, Jimin suddenly started getting frequent headaches and migraines. You never understood why and you guess neither did the doctors as they assumed it was probably just linked with high amounts of stress from his accident back then. But it bothered you a lot because you knew your friend was struggling with something you couldn't help with.

Jimin quickly stood up which caused you to lean back in surprise. "I need to get going. See you later Kiwi." He smiles, before waving off.

"Wait Jimin–"

"Hey baby." You got cut off as you felt an arm wrap around your shoulders as a figure sat down next to you.

"Baby?" You asked, turning your head to see Jungkook looking at you with a smile. He rubbed the nape of his neck in embarrassment.

"Sorry. Was that too much?" He asks.

You shake your head finding his sudden shyness cute. "No, just didn't expect that from you."

"What else would I call my girlfriend then?"

"Girlfriend? Since when were we official?"

"I mean didn't we–"

"I'm kidding!" You smiled. "I think Y/n is just fine for now, but if you really want to call me something, I don't mind."

"I think I'll hold off with the cute nicknames then until at least our third date."
