"School's finally out!" They all yelled.

"Jimin and Jamie are officially out of school!" Lim Jimin yelled.

"And you've got one more year." DY said.

"Ugh. Don't make me think about that. How am I going to continue school without you two?" Lim Jimin asked.

"I heard Changbin is getting held back. Without Chan, Changbin and Jisung will be all alone." Jamie said.

"I need a third year. Of course I've got two year friends, but none of them are good. I need my Jimin's." Lim Jimin said.

Jamie smiled.

"There's a 2nd year named Jimin. She's kind of old though. Older than Yoongi. She started pretty late. Look for her. It's Shin Jimin. There's also that Jimin in your year. Kim Jimin." Jamie said.

"They're all Chemists?" Lim Jimin asked.

"Yeah." Jamie said.

"I guess I'm making new Jimin friends." Lim Jimin said.

"They're not going to be part of our group." DY demanded.

"Of course not. We've only got one more opening and that's Jamie's boyfriend... Whenever she gets one." Jimin said.

Jamie hit him and rolled her eyes.

"I'm taking my time." Jamie said.

"She's lying." Sumin said.

"Girl code." Jamie said through gritted teeth.

"Oh come on. Just tell them." Sumin said.

Jamie nodded.

"I like someone. He's my friend, I've known him since I was 6." Jamie said.

"Why don't you ask him out? You're pretty." Lim Jimin said.

"Well, you're gay so..." Jamie said.

"But I know a pretty girl when I see one. Jamie, you're so pretty. Prettier than Karina. Almost prettier than Sumin." Lim Jimin said.

"Did you just say I'm the ugliest girl in the group?" Karina asked.

"I'm gay, don't take my word for it." Lim Jimin said, smiling.

Karina jokingly rolled her eyes.

"You're the prettiest here." Seokhwa mumbled.

Karina hugged him and smiled.

"I don't think he likes me though." Jamie said.

"Do we know him?" Jimin asked.

"No. But it doesn't matter. I don't think I should date now anyways." Jamie said.

"If that's what you want. But if I meet him, I will set you up." Lim Jimin said.

Jamie smiled and rolled her eyes.

They all continued to talk for a few hours and they planned a trip.

"Jamie. This isn't me pressuring you at all. But why don't you try inviting the guy you like? I feel like you'll just be sitting there all alone." Lim Jimin said.

"I'll see if he wants to go. But please, keep me liking him a secret. He isn't single, and he's also older than me. He probably only thinks of me as a little sister." Jamie said.

Lim Jimin pinky promised her that he wouldn't tell.

The next few days, they continued to talk about the trip and planned on a day.
