22 || out of date

Jimin strutted down the hallways of BigHit that evening feeling awfully proud of himself, a huge grin plastered across his face. He was elated to say the least. Not because he'd had some epiphany or done something incredible, but because he'd managed to display some respect and gentlemanliness in front of Jeongyeon. His smile brightened even more once he realized that for the first time all week he wouldn't be yelled at by anyone for messing up.

Maybe this whole arranged marriage thing wasn't the end of the world.

It turned out that Jin had been right. Even with just Jimin trying to be friendly, the atmosphere of the apartment had lightened drastically. Jeongyeon had immediately and subconsciously reciprocated his efforts, and instead of her usual snarky comments coming off as disdainful, they were instead cheekier and light-hearted.

The man quickened his pace down the corridor towards his shared apartment, no longer completely dreading his permanent departure from his dear friends. He was positive that at that moment, nothing could shatter his blissful world. Absolutely nothing at all.

He cheerfully opened the door to the dorm, and immediately wished he had not opened it. His gleeful expression immediately deflated into one of embarrassment

Music could be heard blasting from the living room, filling every corner of the household. Jimin rounded a pillar and was greeted with sight of his members dancing and singing to a TWICE song. He winced as Namjoon and Jin began shrieking in unison.

"Nayeonie, Jeongyeon, Momo, Sana, Jihyo, Mina!, Dahyunie, Chaeyoung, Tzuyu uri baro TWICE!" The pair jumped around excitedly as the others hyped them up.

Jimin watched in disgust as Hoseok and Yoongi and began bouncing together while screaming out Mina's part. "Ballerina Mina! Neomna bitna Mina! Minamina Minari, neomna yeppeun Mina!"

Absolutely fuming, Jimin stormed across the room and caught Taehyung's arm, dragging him out onto the balcony. "What the fuck is happening dude? How did you convince the others to do this? Even Yoongi?!"

Taehyung looked at his nails and smirked. "We were just preparing."

"Preparing for what?!"

They turned in unison to see Jin sliding open the balcony door. "Well, obviously we're going to need to know our sisters-in-law's names. Like, imagine if we met them and didn't know how to tell them apart? That would be so embarrassing."

Jimin fought the urge to claw his eyes out. He sputtered for a bit before regaining control of his words. "Fair enough. But seriously? Through this song? It's so old all of the information's probably out of date."

The mischievous pair shrugged in response.

"You know, I was actually in a good mood this morning until you guys just had to ruined it." Jimin dragged a hand over his face, ready to melt into the tiles.

Jin's eyes widened. "Seriously? What happened?"

"I know what happened." Tae smirked. "They did the dirty deed. Had a rough and tumble in the bed. Christened the-" He winced as Jimin slapped him.

"Get your mind out of the fucking gutter, mate. We did not do anything of the sort. I just..." He trailed off.

Jin smiled encouragingly at him. "You just what?"

"I followed your advice... and it worked. A lot. There was a huge difference between this morning and last week." Jimin returned his hyung's smile weakly.

The eldest clapped his hands gleefully. "And what have we learned today, my young children?"

"That Taehyung needs to have his Pornhub account deactivated?"

Jin sighed. "Other than that."

"That Jimin needs to shut up sometimes?" Taehyung glared at his friend.

"Not that one either- You know what? Forget it. If either of you need help, come to me. Because remember, today's moral is that Jin is always right." He flounced off of the balcony.

Taehyung chuckled. "Kay then. I'm going back inside. Wanna come?" He received the finger as a response. "Whatever. Suit yourself." He danced back into the living room.

Jimin settled himself on the balcony railing and looked out across the city. Clouds shrouded the sky overhead. It would probably storm later.

His thoughts drifted back to Jeongyeon. She was nicer than he'd thought. Not saint like, but nice enough to be bearable. But her cheek was through the roof! Honestly, all the crap she spewed was enough to make anyone tired. He wondered how the other TWICE girls put up with her. Perhaps she was just like that around him...

It didn't make him feel special.

She was also such a brat. The tea thing wasn't his fault. But she had acted like he'd just ended the world! Jimin had also noticed her laughing at him when he was putting the cream on her fingers. He held up his hands and bit his lip. They weren't that small, were they?

Fat drops of water began to fall from the sky, starting off at widely dispersed intervals before slowly becoming heavier and heavier. Jimin ignored the water, instead relishing in the cool breeze. The view was almost serene. If you ignored the honking cars and squeals of tires, the balcony had a calming atmosphere that settled Jimin's thoughts.

Unfortunately, his peace was interrupted by a short series of buzzes.

Whiny Bitch has unblocked you.
