Serendipity- 지극

Just take my hand Jimin, I'll show you how to-"

"Jimin! Your mom phoned me just now, she was asking for you-" the old lady yelled from the counter making both of the boys snap out of their chat.

Jimin bit his lips as he looked over the counter and back to the boy again. He was confused, his mind telling him to just go back home but his heart wanting to grab the stranger's hand and let him into his world.

"Come on, Jiminie," the boy nudged his head to his hand, gesturing him to take his hand.

"Jimin! Your mom said-"

"Tell her I am out my friends!" Jimin yelled back as he placed his palm on the boy's. The brown-haired smiled as he bent his fingers, now grabbing Jimin's tiny hands in his own.

"She's asking where to?" the grandma asked again.

"To live!"

Jimin shouted back before the boy pulled him on his feet. Jimin gasped when both of them stumbled together and backed off instantly as a blush crept over his cheeks.

The unknown boy grabbed his hand again making Jimin blush even more now but he seemed uneasy about something.

"I-I don't even know your name-"

"It's Jungkook. But you can call me whatever you like,"

He winked at Jimin before yanking him out of the store through the back door. Jimin raised his eyebrow seeming fascinated by the hidden door he never knew off.

"I'm a regular customer here but how come I didn't know about this?" Jimin asked in an amused manner.

"Not everyone knows the secret paths to a beautiful world," he chuckled as both of them ran across the street and somewhere Jimin never knew off.

"Wait-...."
Jimin mumbled as he stopped his feet making the brown-haired halt back too.

"Now what?" The other sighed.

"I didn't even organise the books back on the shelf, I left it all scattered on the floor. I-I must go back an-"

"No.."

He squeezed Jimin's hand a little making him take a break from his babbling.

"It's okay to let go sometimes. It's okay to break rules sometimes Jimin. Come on now" he smiled pulling him again towards a row of bikes standing at a distance.

Jungkook kneeled and unlocked his bike as Jimin watched him quietly from behind.

"Hop on..." He said his head nudging to the back seat.

"But where are we heading to?" Jimin pulled his lips out, sitting down unhurriedly, as he felt a bit uncertain from the fact he was getting dragged by a boy who was a stranger to him.

"I don't know. Let's see, someplace where you'll feel better?"

Hold on tight Jiminie," Jungkook mumbled before he increased the pace making Jimin clench onto the taller's shirt tightly, as he slightly buried his face on his back, trying to avoid the force of the wind.
