Thorns of Roses // OC x Jimin // BTS High School

~Chapter 20~

Rose

"Are you Park Roseanne?", a female voice could be heard behind me as I was about to close my locker, Jia standing next to me and waiting for me to finish getting my books for the first period.

I quickly turned around, leaving the door open yet holding my maths books in both of my hands. A smile made its way onto my lips as I saw a pretty girl standing in front of us, probably being around the same age as Jia and me. Her black hair fell flawlessy down her shoulders and light makeup adorned her face, enhancing her natural features. She really was beautiful but the smirk on her cherry colored lips made her facade crumble, making me shortly glance at the two girls standing slightly behind her.

"Of course she is, look at her bruises!", one of the three started to chuckle, making me pull on the sleeves of my uniform a little and the corners of my lips falling, getting a concerning vibe from the group of girls.

"Oh how could I forget that? After all she wasn't Jimin's favorite from the start. She probably manipulated him with her looks.", the one in the front, which I assumed was the leader, joined in with her laughter.

"Nah he's just playing with her. Why would Jimin want to date someone like her?", the last one exclaimed making me only more confused. Who were they and why were they talking about me in front of me like that?

"Are you done?", Jia, who had leaned on the locker before, took a step forward and raised her eyebrows, mustering the group of four with an annoyed look on her face.

"Actually we wanted to talk to you.", the one in the front stopped her chuckling after Jia's serious behaviour and started to observe me with a glare on her face.

"Do I even know you?", slight anger started rising up in me when seeing her mustering my body after what they had said.

"You don't know me?", a scoff left her mouth, making me roll my eyes.

"No and I don't wanna get to know you so if you would excuse me now. I have class.", I exclaimed and closed my locker before heading towards our classroom, Jia following me afer sending an annoyed look to the group of three.

I rolled my eyes when hearing them shouting after the two of us, but we both chose to ignore it, continuing our way without turning back. I normally was more calm and less confused if someone decided to judge or hate my behavior or actions as I was an idol and should act professionally in such situations, but I had never been confronted like that before. Only the fact that they chose to pick on me because I suddenly got along with BTS and especially Jimin annoyed me. Not only that but they even dared to make fun of my bruises and rumored about the blonde haired just using me, which he did before but I was certain wouldn't do that anymore.

"Ey Roseanne Park, whats uuup?", Jhope approached us with funny poses, BTS following him.

I relaxed a bit when spotting the group of seven and a soft cuckle escaped my lips when seeing the sunshine of the group act like that. I had gotten used to their presence already which I knew might have seemed stupid and self direspectful to others because they had still hurt me in the past, but they definetely lightened my mood up now and the new feeling I felt towards Jimin made me forget the fact that our relationship in the start wasn't the best. In addition to that Mina's words still lingered in my mind. I knew that the blonde haired's feelings did not justify his actions one bit but they still explained his behavior and made me think differently about the whole situation.

"Eyy Jung Hoesuck not muuuch.", I copied his funny looking moves, already forgetting about the not so pleasing encounter with the group of girls.

Jia laughed out loud as soon as I finished my sentence, his group members not suceeding to hide their amused smiles either.

"What did you call me?", he aprubtly stopped with his poses making me chuckle at his shocked expression.

"Oh I just called you by your name. Jung H-O-E-S-", I teased him by spelling it out loud but quickly got interrupted by the rather annoyed boy.

"Take that back!", he crossed his arms and pouted only making me erupt into laughter too.

"No! H-O-E-S-U-AAAHH", I tried spelling the name out once more but got interrupted again by the sunshine of the group, whose gaze turned into a glare as he soon after charged at me.

"JIMIN SAVE MEEEE!", I screamed and turned around, running in a circle around the group of seven while Jhope chased me and left me only a little ledge.

I heard everyone erupting in chuckles while I ran for my life, having a hard time to escape the elder boy, who couldn't manage to hide his smile either.

"NO! GO AWAYYY!", I screamed as the brown haired almost caught me, but I quickly hid behind Jimin, using the blonde haired as my shield.

Jhope already stretched his hand out to grab me but Jimin was quicker and engulfed me into a protective hug, laying his arms around my body. My breath stocked when he lightly pressed my head into his chest, his cologne making its way into my nose. He smelled fresh and vanilla like and the oversized hoodie he wore instead of his uniform was comfortably engulfing my right cheek. Just like on the day where I was at his house, I could feel the sudden wave of adrenaline rushing over me again, yet I felt comfortable and safe in his embrace, even though I knew I had nothing to fear.

"Don't worry Rosie, I'll protect you from Hoesuck!", Jimin chuckled and turned around, pulling me along when Jhope started to protest again, not really liking his new nickname.

My heart jumped at his sentence, instantly making me feel warm and protected. I knew the brown haired would never dare to hurt me again, but only the act of Jimin playing along and protecting me either way made my heart feel things it hadn't felt before.

"Enough you two love birds. Your first class is starting in five minutes.", Jin's voice echoed through my ears, taking me out of my trance.

I quickly pulled away from the hug and fixed my hair, not daring to make eye contact with the blonde haired as I knew I probably was a blushing mess. My gaze went to Jia's who shook her head yet had a big smile adorning her lips. She intertwined her arm with mine and lead me to our classroom, sending me a knowing glance, making my lip corners lift up too. The trio of maknaes followed us and we soon arrived. My eyes fell onto the pink colored milk packet drink as soon as I stepped through the door, only making my smile a little bigger.

Today would be a good day.
