The Act Before Love | BTS JIMIN fanfiction

Chapter Twenty-Two

"I'm sorry, I should've been more careful and I-" you start to explain.

Jimin places his hand on your cheek, caressing it. 

"Babe, I'm not mad at you." 

He holds a water bottle in his hand offering it to you to drink.

Oh so that's what he was walking away to get. I feel so stupid for thinking Jimin would get mad that easily.

"It's not your fault, Y/N. Taemin is just being a brat right now. He's jealous of us and he wants to find a way to get in between us. But I won't let that happen so easily." He smile softly at you, make your heart thunder in your chest.

You let out a sigh of relief at his statement. 

Jimin's hand remains on your cheek, although his eyes grow heated. He continues to stare at your lips. You return his stare. He leans closer, so close that you can feel his breath on your lips.

You want to lean in. 

You want to place your lips onto his.

You want to kiss him.

But you weren't sure if he wanted you the same way. Maybe the timing wasn't right. He was always the one who instigated the kisses between you two. 

Nervously, you decide that this time, you were going to kiss him first. 

After finally gaining the courage, you wrap your arms around him. You lean closer, getting ready to close the distance between you two.

Your phone suddenly rings. Startled, you suddenly pull away. 

Goddamn it, why does my phone have to ring now?

If Chaeyoung is calling me, I'm murdering her the next time I see her.

You pull your phone out of your pocket to see who it is.

It was Lia calling you. She never called you out of the blue like this. 

You quickly mouth sorry to Jimin before taking the call.

"Lia?" you say. Glancing at Jimin, he seems to be surprised that you kept in contact with Lia.

"Y/N, are you ok?" she suddenly asks.

"Why wouldn't I be ok?" you ask, not in a rude way.

"Everything online is about you and Taemin. I know they're not true, but there are so many bad rumours about you. I just wanted to say sorry."

"Wait why are you saying sorry?" you ask, "Did...he ask you to do this?"

"What? No! I can tell this is something Taemin would do. He's just jealous that you aren't going back to him." 

"Well, there's nothing for you to be sorry about. It's his fault, not yours. Did you know Taemin well?" 

"I used to be friends with him, but I cut things off with him." By her tone, it sounds like she doesn't want to talk about it further, so you didn't pry any further.

"Oh I have to go now, Y/N. Bye bye!" Lia says sweetly. Uwah she's so cute.

"Ok, bye."

Lia hangs up, and you turn to look at Jimin, who is now sitting beside you again.

"Are you close with Lia?" he asks.

"We're friends." you simply say. You're not super close with her, but you can't say that you two are just acquaintances, "She asked me for my number that time at the backstage and we talk sometimes."
