You and Jimin walked down the hallway toward the entrance of the castle. Jimin held your hand which made other students stare, mostly but not all. You felt your cheeks start to burn up from this new sensation. You were sure you never felt anything for this boy except annoyance and anger but this time, you felt soft for him, the way he held your hand and the way he runs his thumb over yours.

"You nervous?" He gave you a playful smile.

"No." You replied.

"Your hand is sweating like waterfalls." He laughed.

"It's because I have an interview for the Daily Prophet in 30 minutes!" You said and took your hand back, embarrassed at why they're sweating so much.

"Calm down. You'll be fine. You're Y/N after all. The most controversial Triwizard Champion of all." Jimin said and took your hand back and held it tightly.

"Wow, that really helped." You sarcastically said and rolled your eyes.

You arrived at the entrance and Dumbledore was there waiting for the important people to arrive and there you saw a few people nearing the castle. Jimin's father stood out the most for you, aside from his shiny, silver hair in which Jimin clearly inherited, he was tall and scary. Taller than Lucius Malfoy. Yoongi's father was also there together with Bartimus Crouch, the reporter from The Daily Prophet, Rita Skeeter with a photographer and even Jungkook's father was there, his father works at the ministry too and is a high-ranking official or else, he wouldn't be here. There was also a child beside Lucius and you assumed it was his son as he looked a lot like Lucius.

"Hello father." Jimin greeted his father.

"Son, so nice of you to greet us by the entrance." Jimin's father smiled proudly and then looked at you, who was beside him.

"Park Jimin. Handsome as ever like your father, eh?" Rita Skeeter complimented Jimin.

"It's been quite a while, boy." Lucius greeted Jimin. "May I ask why dear miss Choi is here?"

"She's my girlfriend." Jimin proudly said which earned a smirk from Lucius Malfoy.

"I see." Jimin's father cleared his throat.

Dumbledore welcomed everyone to the castle and they all proceeded to follow him to his office. Jimin's father gave you a look that meant he disliked you. Jimin smiled at his father and bid goodbye.

"Your father hates me!" You said.

"Relax. He always wears that look even on me." Jimin reassured you.

"Well, I have to head to the trophy room for the interview. I'll see you later." You said and instinctively gave Jimin a kiss on the cheek which surprised the both of you. You didn't even paused for a second to think, it felt like your body had a mind of its own.

"Wow. Really getting into character there, Y/N. I like it." He smiled.

"Shut up." You said and ran away leaving Jimin.

You head to the trophy room and all the other champions were there. Seokjin was sitting pretty next to the Beauxbaton champion, Antoinette. Both of them were talking. The Durmstrang champion, Dragomir, was roaming around the trophy room, examinig some trophies.

"Jin. Hey." You greet him and waved at Antoinette.

"What happened to you?" Jin asked. You were covered in sweat since you ran all the way to the trophy room.

"I thought I was running late." You pant.

"Cute but hey, we still got like 3 minutes before the reporter arrives. Here, let me help you." Jin said and stood up. You loved how tall Jin was, just the thought that you imagined him carry you with his big, strong arms just so he could kiss you made you feel embarrassed for thinking that in front of him. Jin tapped your head with his wand and magically, the sweat dried up and your hair was neat again.

"Thanks Jin." You smiled.

"What is this I see? Burning romance within the champions?" You hear Rita Skeeter's piercing voice.

"N-no, we're just friends." You quickly denied but Rita squinted her eyes obviously not believing it but let it go anyways.

"Alright. Now I want you all to gather here for a photo." She said and pointed at the arranged seats. You and Antoinette get to sit on chairs in front while the two boys stood behind you. You all weren't ready for the photo yet but suddenly you hear the camera click and flashed on your faces leaving the four of you confused.

"What a charismatic quartet! Hello, I'm Rita Skeeter. I write for the daily prophet. But, of course, you know that, don't you? It's you we don't know." She started. "You're the juicy news. What quirks lurk beneath those rosy cheeks?" She said and lightly slapped your face then went to Seokjin. "What mysteries do the muscles mask? Does courage lie beneath those curls?" She said while she touched Dragomir's hair. "In short, what makes a champion tick? Me, myself and I want to know. Not to mention my ravid readers. So, who's feeling up to sharing" She asked and looked at the four of you. None of you were volunteering. "Shall we start with the youngest? Lovely." She said and pulled you to a broom cupboard.

The long and annoying interview ended and you were finally allowed to go back to your dormitory. You and Seokjin walked together to the moving stairs. This was a rare event for you to be walking with him and you should've took advantage to try and impress Seokjin but you were to drained to do it and ended up being all quiet.

"You okay, Y/N?" Jin asked.

"Yeah. Just feeling a bit drained from the interview." You replied.

"I think you just need some cheering up. You look like it wasn't just the interview that's pulling your mood." Jin said.

"It's fine, really." You insisted.

"It's not fine for me." Jin said and took your hand. "Let me show you something." He smiled and winked at you before he pulled you to run.
