Jimin Protectors ' Book 1 '

Chapter 80 '✅'

Author's POV:

Jimin: " No, Minmin, I get shy easily. I can't dance in front of so many people." Taemin didn't leave Jimin alone all day, trying to convince him to join the new dancing team.

Taemin: "But you can stand on the board to explain how to solve math problems for hours. The same school students that you stand in front of during the last math competition are the audience who will watch you dancing, Jimin. You are perfect. Please let's try it together. Finally, there is something we are both good at."

Jimin: " It's something different. I trust my brain, but not my body or how I look." Taemin smacked the back of his head.

Taemin: " Are you blind? Don't you have mirrors in your house? Okay, let's try this. What about impressing your lovely girl by being the famous dancer in the school? I can bet she will love it."

Jimin's eyes lit up at the mention of Ara.

Jimin: " I'm in. When is the audition?" Taemin held his heart, acting like he just got stabbed.

Taemin: " Oh God, where is my best friend? Am I thin air, you ungrateful brat? You should have agreed for me, not for her." Jimin stayed smiling like an idiot.

Jimin: "Should I take back my word?"

Taemin: "No, no, okay, at least I have you with me." Jimin pulled Taemin's head with his arm, squeezing the life out of him.

Jimin: "You are the best. I hope your plan can make me a step closer to her." Taemin was struggling to free himself.

Taemin: "Plan my foot. I just want you with me." Jimin let him go.

Jimin: "So , Do you think if I bought her banana milk, she would like it? Kookie hyung loves it so much."

Taemin: "You are not even friends, Minmin. How can you just give her that?"

Jimin: "I don't want to be her friend."

Taemin: "Then what do you want?" Taemin was confused.

Jimin: "I want to marry her." Taemin fell on the ground, laughing his heart out.

Taemin: "You... you don't know anything besides her name and you already decided to marry her." Jimin punched his shoulder.

Jimin: "Yaa, you just don't know anything about love. Don't talk to me. I'm buying her banana milk. I know she will like it."

And he passed him, heading to the counter where he bought the magic gift that would start his love story.

The two headed to their class after the break, and Jimin went to her straight, putting the bottle in front of her. She looked at him confused.

Jimin: "It's for you." He said shyly, she smiled at first but looked at the bottle sadly and pushed it lightly toward him, shaking her head as no. Jimin felt a bang in his heart. Why would she reject him so soon? Did he really look ugly?

He looked down and was about to go to his seat, but she pulled the hem of his shirt, making him look up at her.

Ara: "I... I have allergies to milk products, so I... I can't have it... sorry, I didn't mean to be rude."

Jimin's eyes lit up with so many words from her to him. She was talking to him directly. He needed someone to help him process words to reply. He just couldn't breathe.

He stood still looking into her eyes until it became awkward. Taemin pulled his hand, making him sit in his seat. She was confused with his reaction ..

Taemin: "Thank you, Ara. He thought you would like it, so he bought it specially for you." Taemin was trying to wake his best friend up from his daydreaming. He was totally ruining his chance to get along with his crush.

Ara: "Thank you, Jimin. You are so sweet." Jimin's blood gathered in his cheeks even more with her complement and his heart was about to stop from the pace it was beating.

Taemin hit Jimin's thigh to make him say anything.. The longer he stays quiet the more it goes weird ..

Jimin: "Do you have allergies to sweets?" Jimin was hitting his head millions of times in his mind. What was he saying? Who in the world has allergies to sweets?

She giggled cutely and shook her head.

Ara: "No, I'm not." He was about to fix what he said, but the teacher came to their class.

Home...

Jimin was in his room after dinner, trying to study, but his mind was full of thoughts about Ara and how he went paralyzed in front of her. Why couldn't he just talk normally?

He headed out of his room, searching for the one who would give him advice about this and keep his secret - their secret keeper.

Jimin knocked on the door and opened it when a low "come in" was heard.

Jimin: "Hyung..."

Taehyung: "What is it, little one? Do you need help with your study?" Taehyung was working on his laptop as he was very involved in the factory his hyungs decided to lead.

Jimin: "No..." He looked down, playing with the hem of his shirt, not knowing how to bring this up.

Taehyung raised his eyes from the laptop when he felt Jimin's tension, putting it aside and patting the space beside him on the bed.

Taehyung: "What is it, buddy? I'm all ears." Jimin settled on the bed, hanging his head. Taehyung pulled his chin up to meet his eyes, assuring him that he could open up.

Jimin: "I love someone and I want to marry her." Taehyung's eyes widened at the words the younger one just said. Jimin hid his face in his palms, not knowing how to face his hyung.

Taehyung's thoughts were running. "Calm down, Tae... take it easy." He was trying not to scare the kid in front of him.

Taehyung: "Okay... who is she?" Jimin slowly pulled his hands down when he heard his hyung's calm voice.

Jimin: "Her name is Ara, and... she is my classmate, but..."

Taehyung was trying to hold his smile. His little brother was thinking of marriage when he was just a 15-year-old kid talking about a same-age girl. His heart was going to explode as he thought someone had manipulated his brother.

Taehyung: "But what?" He held Jimin's hand to assure him that it was okay to go on.

Jimin: "I can't talk to her. Every time I try, the moment I make eye contact with her, everything stops. I look stupid in front of her, hyung." Jimin winde like a little kid over some lost toy
