blackmail | jirose

epilogue

Author's POV

The sky threw shades of orange, red and pink into the blue tinted sky on the breezy day. The trees in the park swayed along with the wind in beat as the birds flew in the sky, creating a peaceful atmosphere.

Rosé looked down at her feet while Jimin, beside her sent her occasional glances. Silence was the only thing between them, except the breathing of theirs and nature's sound.

Rosé pursed her lips, wanting to ask a question but had no guts to ask. She was afraid, for some reason. It's been hours after the duo left the school grounds with Rosé having a heavy feeling and Jimin awkwardly walking slowly beside her to make sure she reaches her home safely but somehow, they ended up in the park, gazing at the sky.

"It's beautiful, right?" The blonde guy asked, staring at the blonde girl. Rosé nodded, "The sky? Very." She smiled softly before turning her attention to Jimin who was staring back at her.

1 second...

2 seconds...

3 seconds...

4 seconds...

5 seconds...

 Coughing to himself, Jimin turned and faced ahead of him when he noticed how long he has been staring as well as Rosé looking away.

Silence surrounded them once again with none of them starting a conversation.

"Why did you blackmail me?"

Jimin turned and looked at her with an eyebrow raised at her abrupt question.

"Why did you blackmail me?" She repeated. Jimin chuckled and flashed her a toothy smile. "I just thought this is one way to make you spend time with me since you are always so whipped about Jungkook, not caring about me at all."

"What?" Rosé was confused. She could only look at him with questionable eyes. Jimin chuckled yet again.

"Wasn't it obvious?"

Rosé tilted her head, confusion filling her mind. Sighing, Jimin quickly blurted his words out, leaving Rosé blushing and confused.

"I like you, dumbass."

She didn't know why but her stomach did a ultra back flip when he said that.

"I liked you ever since first year. I sent out easy hints but you always mistook them as my kindness and focus on Jungkook which is why I went for blackmailing."

"But why blackmail when you could do something else to get my attention?"

Jimin sighed. "It was the only way I could think of and besides, blackmailing you made me spend some time with you."

Rosé scoffed, "More like cursing at you every second."

Jimin chuckled before taking Rosé's hand in hand, causing Rosé to be in wide eyes.

Her heart warmed and instead of funny feelings in her tummy, she felt safety.

❝Chaeng-ah, if you ever feel butterflies in your stomach when you hold a guy's hand, let it go and walk away and never look at him again but if you feel safe, feel so warm, remember to hold his hand tight and to never let go because he is the one.❞

Her mother's words entered her head before her heart started to beat. Am I falling for him now?

 Rosé looked up at Jimin who showed her a hopeful smile.

"Rosé-ah, would you accept me as your boyfriend if I confess?"
