𝐓𝐀𝐄𝐇𝐘𝐔𝐍𝐆 𝐋𝐄𝐓 𝐎𝐔𝐓 an tired sigh as he throw himself beside jimin after their practice is finally over.

taehyung drank all of his water and turns at jimin who's awfully quiet as he follow the guy's stare. straight at the girls who's still playing basketball on the field front them.

he roll his eyes and nudges jimin's arm, "c'mon we gotta go back to class. our practice is over," taehyung says, standing up while staring at jimin.

jimin ignored him, continue to let his eyes stuck on this one girl. he's mesmerized. people say she's good at studies, but he had no idea she'll be so good in sports.

jimin then look up at taehyung with a frown, "can't we wait?"

"for your crush? no." taehyung let out an unwilling smile as jimin looks away and proceed to stand up.

as soon as he stood up, the girls were clapping hands while bowing at their coach with loud thank you. taehyung curses when he notices jimin is back at being all 'curious'.

mina, who just finished her training she took a bottle on water on the closes bench where she leaves it earlier.

without even knowing her coach were approaching her while she's panting by herself.

"mina, why didn't you attend yesterday's training?" her coach loudly ask, making her turn her head staring at her coach for a seconds.

she glances away, taking a deep breath, "i'm sorry, coach."

she bows without telling reason why she didn't attend yesterday's practice. as she hear her coach scoffs, "sorry? mina. you may say that your match is still far away from this month but that doesn't mean you can skip your training like that!"

mina let out her breath as a cover to hold on her anger. the whole student who was just about to walk back to their class stops, to watch her situation.

mina is having her eyes at the ground, in fact to stop herself from fighting back. she mentally closes her ears while her coach were nagging about yesterday's.

"if you try to skip one more time, you'll get kicked out of the team, no more match." her coach adds, putting her hand on her hips.

without no response, mina sighed while looking away; flinching her own coach by her action of throwing her water bottle on the ground and walks away.

the students were there was quiet as if there's no one was watching. she gave no damn about it and walk pass taehyung and jimin who's having their eyes following mina.

"jimin!"

taehyung shouts when he saw jimin were chasing down mina who's slowly disappearing on his vision. taehyung turns at mina's coach who's sitting on the bench.

taehyung groans while grabbing both of his and jimin's water bottle, "aish this useless jerk."

meanwhile, jimin chase down mina who's almost getting inside the girls' restroom but he hold her wrist to stop her.

without waiting a seconds, she roughly pull her hands that make him let go, "don't even try to touch me."

her voice is much deeper than he usually hears. he stares at her who's staring back as if they're having a battle.

he sigh, "are you okay?"

"it's none of your business! stop trying to get involved in my life." mina shouts, having him raising his eyebrows as she walks inside the girls' restroom.

he closes his eyes as the door were being shut loudly. to be honest, her point is actually right. why does he have to care when he doesn't even know her?

she doesn't want his care and other than that, she keeps pushing him away while he's trying to be close. she seems to be really strict whenever it comes about new friends.

jimin leans on the wall, stubbornly waiting for her even though she had shouted the shit out of her to tell him to get away.

like he may repeat, giving up is not his choice. he thinks it would be better if he keep trying, even though he's planning to give some space, he'll keep trying the next day.

as he hears a small noises comes from his right, his head automatically turns, seeing mina who just glances at him and tries to walks away.

"mina," he calls.

since she just told him to not touch her, mixing with a respect feeling, it would be better if he just calls for her than roughly hold onto her who's absolutely uncomfortable.

mina stops, "go away." her voice still maintain the coldness and sadness between it.

he quickly jogs in front her before she could even walk any further, "i will go if you answer me," he paused, taking a second good look at mina who's having her tired plus unsatisfied face.

"are you okay?"

"do i look like i am?" she raises her eyebrows, visibly no expression as they make another long eye contact.

he took a deep breath slowly hiding his worried face, "i'm sorry but-"

"can you stop trying to get involved in my life every single time you sees me?" mina finally says since she's done of jimin's behaviour who has been pissing her off ever since day one.

jimin didn't answer. "i don't want you to care about me. i can look after myself so, mind your own business." she added, looking at him up and down.

he took a deep breath, "i just want to be your friend." slowly letting out an random sigh while stares at her.

"and i dont."
