Y/n's POV
"Hey! That's mine!"
I giggle as Jimin hits Taehyung playfully, shouting after him as he gets up to run and hide behind Namjoon.
"Well, it's mine now, ok?" Taehyung laughs, sticking out his tongue at Jimin who looks sour that Taehyung has taken his packet of crisps. Spending time with the members ensures that there is never a boring moment, there is always some sort of argument or game to be playing.
Opening my mouth, I attempt to guilt Tae into giving Jimin his food back but am interrupted when Jimin leaps over to where Tae cowers behind Namjoon and starts to try and grab him so he can get his revenge.
With my mouth gaping like a fish, frozen in place, Jin laughs and closes it for me, the only one to have noticed that I was about to say something. Namjoon now has a hold of Jimin's legs, pulling him to the ground as gently as possible so that he cannot reach Tae or continues to giggle like a child, his whole face alight with his smile.
Jimin sits down in defeat, pouting with his bottom lip jutted out, an attempt to win over everyone's pity for his stolen food. Namjoon smiles and ruffles his hair before turning over his shoulder to scold Tae, sounding like a tired dad as he does so.
The whole situation is so utterly ridicious and abnormal in my head that the previous shock of events has turned to hysteria and I am doubled over in laughter, beginning to feel breathless and light-headed from lack of oxygen.
My outburst of giggles attracts the attention of the other members and I close my mouth instantly, my lip still quivering as laughter threatens to break through the barriers of my lips. Already in a playful mood, Jimin crawls over to me and pokes my cheek, making the smile widen across my face as the blood rushes to my head, my lips still sealed tightly.
Still not finished with his new-found game, Jimin boops me on the nose before sitting right in front of me and crossing his eyes, the handsome face I am used to morphing into crossed eyes and puckered lips.
He looks so much like a fish that I forget my attempts to conceal laughter and let the volcano erupt, watching through blurry eyes as his face turns back to normal and smirks back at me, seemingly proud of his achievement.
Before long, the room becomes quieter again, content sounds emanating from us as we finish our lunch. As always, the familiarity of spending time with them feels surreal, but being overexcited and wide-eyed all the time is exhausting, so I simply sit in between Hobi and Jin in peace, watching the food in my hands come towards my mouth and then retreat back down to the plate in my lap.
The natural lilt in talkative and quiet periods means that Hobi turns to me while the others are having a discussion about some random thing, something along the lines of whether cats are people reincarnated or maybe something entirely different (it's quite difficult to follow this conversation, not to mention it being in a language that I only know basic conversational vocab in).
"Um, so I was wondering," Hobi starts, his smile and eye contact drawing my attention, "I was thinking that it would be fun to learn a dance together... I saw this choreography that I thought would be fun to try and I thought that you would be the best person to do it with. I mean, you don't have to..." Hobi trails off slowly, now averting his gaze from mine.
With a smile I nod my affirmation and exclaim how it would definitely be fun to try, my stomach doing flips at the idea of trying to seriously dance, but my face straining hard to look encouraging. It is not that I am forcing myself to do this, I know that I can say no, but why would I? Why let some silly fear that I might mess up a little and make a few mistakes ruin a once in a lifetime chance?
Hobi's POV
Watching her laugh beside me brings me such nostalgic feelings of when I was 9 or so, sitting with my school friends at lunch, talking about who knows what and laughing our heads off, blissfully unaware of any of the struggles and hardships that life might throw at us.
Even though in the back of my mind, I don't want Jimin to get all touchy-feely with y/n, I laugh anyway, the euphoric state that I am in erasing the negative feelings spreading within my body. The more I watch y/n interact with the others, and talk, and laugh, and generally be herself, the more I know that I need to ask her to dance with me. The daydreams of spending a couple of hours or more with her in a dance studio, in my element, makes my head spin.
Waiting for the right time, I practice the words I want to say in my head, suddenly self-conscious every single syllable that may come out of my mouth, afraid of messing up or getting rejected. Turning my head away from y/n, I smile to myself, utterly baffled at my obsessing over small things, trying to shake off the nerves that have built up underneath my skin.
Eventually conversation picks up and I take this opportunity to lean over to y/n, placing a hand beside my mouth out of habit, as though I am telling her a secret. The words leave my mouth in slow motion it seems, the eye contact I held with y/n wavering as my confidence falters before I look away completely, terrified of questioning eyes and rejection.
When y/n accepts, however, I am ecstatic, allowing my imagination to let in thoughts of swirling y/n around in our own little temporary world where I can finally feel as though I am doing the right thing and not worry about every little movement I might make.
Y/n has given me something to look forward to, something beyond our routines. For that, I am thankful and grateful to her, even if this may be the bare minimum someone could do. It means a lot to me.
