Chapter Twenty-Six

"Pretend"

♣

Jimin went back to the dressing room and was surprised when he saw a bouquet of white tulips on the table. He was still slightly trembling because of the adrenaline rush, with shaky hands he picks up the bouquet in his arms.

"Jungkook?" He wonders but he knew it was from him. He smiles and brings the flowers to his face. He hugs the bouquet, and he feels warm as if he was being engulfed in a warm hug. Somehow,  he feels a little assured now.

He almost jumps when he hears someone clear their throat, he instantly whips his head to look back. "Hi Chiminie, did I disturb you?"

Jimin smiles wide at Hoseok and walks to him to give him a hug being careful he doesn't ruin the bouquet by bringing it up to the air. "Congratulations! I heard you were amazing."

Hoseok chuckles as he pulled away, "I didn't see your performance as well, we had a bit of drama in our dressing room." His smile disappeared.

Jimin tilts his head curiously, "What drama?"

Hoseok hums pouting, "Well, there were foreign critics amongst the crowd, I guess no one told you?"

Jimin shakes his head dumbfounded, "What?"

"Yeah, I guess they're looking for elite performers. Maybe they'll offer scholarships." He shrugs, "And someone got mad at me because he said my dancing was over the top when I was the center in dance break. He said I was over dancing, that I was trying so hard to stand out."

"Huh! Who said that? It's not your fault they can't keep up with you." Jimin huffs with a small pout. 

Hoseok shakes his head sideways, "Forget about it, I'm fine." He points at the bouquet, "Wow, you got an admirer?"

"Ah---" Jimin quickly blushes, "Hmm... you've met him before." He says shyly, unsure how he should explain that all this time Hoseok thought he was talking to Taehyung, but it was Jeon Jungkook.

"Oh? Who?" Hoseok asks with excitement. "Oh wait--- that's tulips? So, it's Taehyung?"

Jimin parts his mouth but he didn't know what to say instead he shakes his head to deny the question. Hoseok hums, "Then who?"

"Maybe you'll meet him maybe you won't." Jimin laughs, "It's beautiful, isn't it?"

"It looks good on you too, dressed in all white with a bouquet of white tulips. Plus, your smile! It's blinding me!" Hosoek cries out exaggerating as he brings his arms up to cover his face.

"Eh! Hyung!" Jimin laughs out loud at his friend slapping him across his chest playfully.

"Guys!" They both turned their heads to look at Namjoon and Jin who just arrived. "Congrats to both of you!" Jin was holding two bouquets and handed each to Hoseok and Jimin which the latter put down on the table. "My God, I'm missing out a lot." He sulks making a sad face.

Hoseok chuckles, "You've been busy with your gf it's understandable."

Jin snorts, "We broke up. I realized I was more good-looking."

Jimin and Hoseok looked at each other with a meaningful look and bursts out laughing. "Aish this guy." Namjoon shakes his head in disbelief at the amount of self-love Jin has.

"With that successful performance, this calls for a celebration!" Jin cheered as he tackled Hoseok who was taken back and almost falls.

Jimin laughed as Jin and Hoseok wrestled on the ground like kids. He looks at Namjoon who was smiling fondly at him, the taller approaches him and leans to whisper, "Sorry I had to leave you earlier."
