Heartbreaker

Chapter 3: Blackmail

Jimin gathered his notebook and pen then shoved it inside his bag. He subtly looked at Yoongi who was also fixing his things, two lab bench away from him. People were now rushing to their next classes. Only a handful of them are left inside the laboratory. Jimin was about to come to Yoongi when a girl approached him. Jimin abruptly about-faced.

"Min Yoongi." The girl shyly called. Yoongi who was looking at Jimin slowly turned to face her. She extended her arms towards him and held out two tangerines.

It took a few seconds before Yoongi accepted it. "Thank you." He smiled timidly. The girl beamed then walked away.

Jimin can't help but feel a pang in his chest. He knows that Yoongi doesn't like her. Hell, he knows he doesn't like anyone. Anyone except him. The pain he feels is a mixture of sadness and guilt. Sadness because he can't show him off. Guilt because it was his choice. Jimin has been hiding who he is since he was ten. They met in a music camp a year ago and became friends. It didn't take long for him to realize he feels more towards him though. He accidentally disclosed his heart's longing in an emotional outburst and was about to regret when Yoongi surprisingly accepted his love. Jimin decided to attend his university for them to be together. However, he cannot tell everyone about them yet. He's not ready.

Jimin was quietly walking when he felt Yoongi's hand in his cardigan pocket. He looked at him questioningly. Yoongi smiled. He felt a small round object in his pocket. He took it out. A tangerine. He narrowed his eyes at him.

"What's mine is yours." Yoongi said under his breath.

"It's from your admirer." Jimin said pouting.

"That's from your admirer." Yoongi pointed at the tangerine in Jimin's hand.

Jimin smiled, "I'm going to the restroom." Then walked quickly away from Yoongi.

A few feet back, Taehyung was quietly following them. He silently laughed when he heard what Jimin said. He had his phone in his coat pocket.

Yoongi discreetly walked with Jimin to the restroom. Jimin went in while Yoongi waited outside. He took out his phone and checked his messages. He missed Taehyung going in. Once in, Taehyung locked the door and checked the other cubicles. There was no one. Except for Jimin, of course. He waits by the sink, arms crossed.

Jimin got surprised when he saw Taehyung. He found it weird that he was there. He narrowed his eyes at him but he did not say anything. He proceeded to the sink beside him to wash his hands. Taehyung turned to face him.

"Give me his number" Taehyung commanded.

"What?" Jimin asked, confused.

"Give. Me. His. Number."

"Who?" Jimin asked irritated.

"Jeon Jungkook" The Gorgeous. The Magnificent. Taehyung thought.

"NO!" Jimin shouted. He would not let this bothersome guy toy with his best friend's life.

"No?" Taehyung brings out his phone and showed Jimin the photo. Jimin's eyes widened.

"Give me his number or everyone will see this." Taehyung grinned.

Jimin gulped.

"Jimin, are you still there?! Why is the door locked?!" Yoongi calls from outside the door.

Taehyung looked at the door then at Jimin.

"That's blackmail" Jimin said, trying to sound intimidating.

"I know, babe." Taehyung arrogantly answered.

Jimin is internally panicking. Yoongi's constant knocking and shouting increased his anxiety. They cannot know. Yoongi was already freaking outside. He handed his phone to Taehyung who input his number. Jimin looked at him one last time before he sent the message. Taehyung took out his phone, examining the message. He smiled victoriously. Jimin was about to run when Taehyung stopped him by holding his arm.
