It's Okay [JIKOOK]

"I think Jimin was drunk enough," Jihyo said, her eyes fixed on Jimin, who was giggling uncontrollably at Jennie's jokes.

"Yeah, I'm definitely going to ignore them in the second semester," Jimin replied, still giggling, as he turned to Chaeyoung and Jennie.

"They deserve it," Chaeyoung chimed in, nodding in agreement with Jimin's plans.

But Jennie raised her hand, putting a pause to their conversation. "Hold on, Jimin. Remember that Jungkook didn't know that you asked Hobi and Kai first, okay? Don't be angry and ignore him too," she reminded Jimin, noticing his flushed face from the alcohol.

Jimin burst into laughter at Jennie's comment. "Jungkook was already ignoring me, and I had no idea why," he said, his tone tinged with sadness. But then he perked up and added, "But who cares, right? If they don't like me, it's their loss!"

Nayeon glanced at the trio with a sigh. "He's had way too much to drink. He shouldn't be going back to their apartment alone," she said, concern evident in her voice.

Jihyo nodded in agreement. "And what about Jennie and Chaeyoung? They're just as drunk," she pointed out.

Nayeon pondered for a moment before suggesting, "They can sleep at our place. I'll inform their parents about it." Jihyo gave her a nod of approval. Then Nayeon turned to Jihyo and asked, "What about you? How are you getting home?"

"Oh, my dad is coming to pick me up when we're done accompanying Jimin," Jihyo replied, typing a quick message to her father.

Nayeon nodded, considering their options. But before she could say anything, Taemin, who wasn't as intoxicated as the others, interjected, "Jimin can crash at our house if you want. That way, you don't have to worry about accompanying him."

Nayeon hesitated for a moment before finally nodding. "Okay, that sounds like a good idea," she said, her voice filled with a hint of uncertainty.

Jihyo shot Taemin a warning look but remained silent.

"I should message my brother to come pick us up, but my phone died. Can I use your phone for a moment?" Taemin asked Nayeon and Jihyo.

"I don't have internet," Jihyo replied sadly.

"I do," Nayeon offered, handing her phone to Taemin, who thanked her gratefully.

Half an hour later, their rides arrived to take them home.

As they bid each other farewell, they made promises to stay in touch over the vacation and vowed to meet up again soon.

"Jimin, walk straight," Taemin chuckled, his arm tightly wrapped around Jimin's shoulders and waist, guiding him through the hallway.

Jimin could only shake his head, unable to form coherent words. But he managed to mumble something that sounded like 'Kook' under his breath.

Taemin brushed it off as Jimin's drunken rambling, assuming he was hallucinating or lost in his own thoughts.

Finally, they reached Taemin's bedroom, and Taemin carefully laid Jimin down on the bed. He knelt down and began removing Jimin's shoes and socks, trying not to laugh at his friend's starfish-like position on the bed.

As Taemin straightened up, he couldn't help but pause and admire Jimin's beauty. "He's so incredibly beautiful," Taemin thought to himself, a smile playing on his lips. He was convinced that whoever ended up with Jimin would be incredibly lucky, and he couldn't help but hope that person would be him.

Even though he wasn't sure if Jimin was gay or not, Taemin didn't care. He felt confident that he could make Jimin fall head over heels in love with him.
