"Really, dude?" Jimin slipped into the passenger seat. "Y/N?"

"What?"

"Nothing, it's just--"

Jimin cut his best friend off. "Do you like her or not, dude, make up your mind." Yoongi sighed as he started the car.

"I don't like her, man-- I'm not fucking around." Jimin smiled.

"Then?"

"I just don't get it? You said you couldn't stand her." Jimin pulled out his phone as Yoongi interrogated him. "So what the fuck? You jumped from jm/ex to y/n?"

"Yep."

"Tell me the rest of it." 

The younger smiled. "I'm just dating her to get on jm/ex's nerves." Yoongi shook his head, pulling out of the parking lot. "You know y/n pissed her off all of the time."

"Won't this just make her resent you more?" Jimin laughed and shook his head.

"I know my ex well, dude." Yoongi shrugged and hummed to himself before another thought came to him

"What about y/n?" Jimin turned. "How the fuck did you get her to agree to this?"

"We made an agreement." Yoongi's eyebrows raised a little. "You know."

"What?"

"How she's in love with you." Yoongi was silent for a moment as he let out a sigh. He turned onto the highway, steering with one hand.

"What about it?"

"Well, she thinks that by dating me, you'll want her." Yoongi just about slammed the breaks. "Dude-- we're on the fucking highwa-"

"Did you tell her that?" Jimin smirked and Yoongi began to drive again. That was dangerous. "Dude, I don't even like y/n. Why would you tell her that?"

"I'm just using her for a few weeks, dude." Yoongi switched lanes, knee bobbing up and down. "Then we'll break up and sucks for her if you aren't ready to get married."

"Dude."

"It's already working for me." Yoongi groaned to see rush hour in effect. They were going to be stuck in traffic for a while. "JM/EX has glared at me twice and purposely bumped into me in the hallway today. I'd say that's progress."

"You're such a dick sometimes, dude."

"Like you aren't?" Yoongi rolled his eyes at this. "She fucking throws herself at you every day and you act like you don't see it."

"I'm not a dick for not liking someone back." Yoongi moved a few meters forward. "You're the dick for making her think this is gonna work."

"It will." Jimin smirked. "For me."

"Dude."

"It could work-- that's on you, dude." Yoongi groaned a little. 

"Whatever, man-- you're going to break her heart."

"That'll make two of us, then." Yoongi looked over at his best friend. "Yoongi, she needs to learn to accept rejection anyway. Just straight up say you don't like her when she asks you out next time and she'll get over it."

"No, I mean what if she catches feelings for you now?" Jimin snorted. "What if you catch feelings?"

"Me?" A car honked at them as Yoongi began to speed up and move ahead. "I'm not gonna catch feelings for y/n."

"You said yourself that you thought she was hot."

"Doesn't mean I'd do anything more than fuck." Yoongi really did drop the wheel to look at his friend then. "Don't worry, I'm not gonna do that-- I'm just saying that I wouldn't do anything more than that. Falling for her included."
