Voyage With Me (Yoonmin)

Part 67 - Chemistry

(The following Wednesday)

Jimin's POV:

I texted Jungkook a couple of times to check on him. I was a little concerned since he didn't show up to class on Monday. I kept thinking back to my conversation with Tae and hoping that Jungkook wasn't feeling bad about hooking up with my friend. Even if he does still have a thing for me, which I wasn't sure I believed, he shouldn't be embarrassed by what happened or anything.

My morning class was aggravating and momentarily took my mind off of things. Students were whining that the dance routines were too difficult. By the end of class, I was ready for a drink, but it was only 10am. Instead I stayed in the studio and practiced hard to get myself out of my own head. My phone buzzed bringing me back to the present.

Yoongi: Hey, Babe. How are you?

Jimin: Meh

Yoongi: What's wrong?

Jimin: My morning class didn't go so well.

Yoongi: I'm sorry to hear it. I have the evening off. Can I take you out? Will that help?

Jimin: Yes, please!

Yoongi: I'll make reservations for us. See you tonight. Love you!

Jimin: Love you more.

I took a deep breath and let it out slowly. I felt much better between the exercise and quick message from Yoongi. I looked down at my phone and noticed that I didn't have time for a shower. So I quickly splashed some water in my face and headed to my second class.

I was re-thinking the lesson plan on the fly, trying to water it down some, when I heard the door open. I looked up and saw Jungkook. He looked at me sheepishly.

Jungkook: (Biting his lip) Hi

Jimin: Hey! I was worried about you. Everything ok?

He nodded quickly and was about to say something when more students arrived.

For this class I led the students through some stretches and then went back over just the first part of the practice routine. It seemed to go much smoother than the previous class.

Jimin: I took it easy today, but please practice some of this on your own. Friday we'll go through the whole routine, so be ready for that. Starting next week we'll break into groups and start work on your group projects. Mid-term performances will be here in just a few weeks and that's going to be 40% of your grade.

I looked around the room and mostly got blank stares except for JK who was looking into my eyes.

Jimin: Ok, see you Friday.

Jungkook hung back as usual. I looked up at him and smiled.

Jimin: Want to get lunch?

He nodded, still chewing on his bottom lip.

Jimin: Ok, but can we go somewhere for salads? I don't want to eat too much since Yoongi is taking me out to dinner tonight.

Jungkook: Sure

We went to a cafe a few blocks away. Jungkook was silent the whole time we walked there. It was making me nervous.

After we ordered and sat down at a table, I decided to just straight up ask him about it.

Jimin: Tae told me what happened. At least his version of things.

Jungkook looked down at the table, unable to make eye contact with me.

Jimin: Are you ok? He didn't hurt you or anything?

Jungkook's POV:

I wasn't going to tell Jimin everything, because while I enjoyed being physical with Taehyung, I didn't see it going anywhere. He straight up told me that he knew I had feeling for Jimin. I said it wasn't true, but he wasn't buying it. While that could have made things awkward, it was clear to me that he just wanted sex. And I'm not going to lie, I kind of wanted it too.
