Captivated Hearts (On Hold)

Chapter 4

Still Liam POV:

"Hello oppa! Chea was warmly greeted with Nayeon and Joy, but Jennie gave me a serious look. I quickly averted my gaze because I now know she's definitely a fierce one. Hey ,no need to worry. Just stay calm, Liam. Remember, you're the most awesome guy around!

Jimin responded, "Hey ladies, how are you?"

"We're actually doing well. It seems like you have friends from our school too," Nayeon inquired.

"Yep," Jungkook replied, and as he did, I stole a glance at Jennie. To my surprise, she was already looking at me, and it made my heart flutter.

"Since you guys are on different basketball teams, I thought the two teams weren't friends," Joy asked, sounding confused.

"Kai and the others aren't close with them, but me and J-Hope are friends with Jimin and the others," Suga explained.

After Jimin's invitation for the girls to take a seat, Jennie ended up sitting across from me. Instantly, my stomach filled with butterflies once again. While everyone else engaged in conversation, I pretended to be occupied with my phone. I couldn't help but steal a quick glance at Jennie.

However, she only seemed to be talking to Jimin, as they had a connection through his sister. It made me feel a pang of jealousy seeing her display her gummy smile while chatting with him. It seemed like she didn't even notice my presence, as her attention was solely focused on Jimin. I couldn't help but feel a surge of anger towards Jimin for this situation.

Trying to console me, Jungkook whispered, "Don't be jealous. Jimin isn't interested in Jennie."

Doubt still lingered in my mind as I whispered back, "But what if Jennie likes Jimin? She only talks to him and even smiles at him while giving me serious looks."

"Dude, she even gave us her intense stare. She only knows Jimin. That's why she was conversing with her. Alright, just chill. We can discuss this later." Jungkook schooled me.

How could she overlook someone as charming as me? How could she treat me like this? It's pure humiliation. I might as well fight for my human rights over this..

Jennie POV:

I couldn't help but notice that Liam Oppa was stealing glances at me, but I pretended not to notice. The way he looks at Jimin Oppa, could it be out of jealousy? As I looked around, I saw girls snapping photos of them and fawning over them. Especially Liam Oppa, girls were eyeing him like he was a delicious treat.

However, he seemed completely oblivious. His undivided attention was on me. Some girls could sense that and gave me envious looks, as if they wanted to be in my shoes. But hey, I'm Jennie Kim, and I always attract the most attractive guys. The thought of the hottest guy in this place admiring me gave me a fluttery feeling inside.

Since we have an additional class today, we had to leave. We bid them farewell, and as I glanced up at him, I couldn't help but flash a smile. He suddenly froze in his tracks. I couldn't help but chuckle at his cute reaction before heading out with my friends.

Liam Pov;

Jungkook glanced at me and inquired, "Why is your face turning red?"

"Am I blushing?" I questioned.

"Definitely," Suga replied. I couldn't help but smile, thinking about her adorable gummy smile.

"She's so cute. Turns out, she's not as intimidating as I thought," I whispered to myself, but everyone heard it.

Jungkook looked at me strangely and asked, "Just a few minutes ago, you seemed jealous and wanted to punch Jimin; now you're blushing and saying she's nice."

Before I could respond, Jimin interjected, "Hey, what did I do?"

"Nothing, let's just forget about it because I forgive you, my friend," I said, gazing at him and grinning like a fool.

"What's gotten into you? You're acting strange," Taehyung remarked, observing me closely.
I didn't answer and continued to smile.

"That's love sickness, guys. Let's get going," Jungkook declared, pulling me out of the ice cream shop.

----------

A couple of days later, Suga and J-Hope were always hanging out with Liam and the rest of the gang. Today, just like any other day, they were having a blast at the children's park, enjoying themselves like kids.

Liam POV;

"Liam, don't you have any plans to win over Jennie?" Taehyung asked, giving me a curious look.

"I'm not sure," I replied, gazing up at the sky. "Do you have a plan?"

"Actually, I do," Taehyung said confidently. Everyone turned their attention to him as he explained his brilliant plan, and we all agreed with him.

.....

One beautiful day, my friends and I were having a chat in front of Serim High School. Suddenly, Jennie and her friends emerged from the school. Just then, a thief snatched her bag and made a run for it. Without hesitation, I chased after him, caught him, and gave him a good punch in front of my crush. I felt like a hero.

I returned the bag to her, and she looked at me with a smile, thanking me. My heart was racing a mile a minute at that moment.
