Chapter 17: Unexpected Care🍲

Jimin's POV

As I walked out of class, I couldn't shake the nagging worry about Y/N. She hadn't shown up all day, and it wasn't like her to miss classes without a word. I spotted Clara nearby and decided to approach her.

"Hey, Clara. Have you seen Y/N today? She wasn't in class."

Clara looked up, her face reflecting a mix of surprise and concern. "Oh, I didn't see her either. i did notice, she was usually quiet at the sleepover...maybe she got sick because of the rain?"

"I'm not sure," I said, feeling a bit more anxious. "She didn't text or anything."

Clara's expression softened. "Maybe you should check in on her."

"You're right," I agreed. 

"Let me know if you find out anything, okay?" Clara said

I nodded and headed to my locker, feeling increasingly concerned. Pulling out my phone, I tried calling Y/N, but it went straight to voicemail. I left a message, hoping she'd get back to me soon.

"Hey Y/N, it's Jimin. Just checking in to see if you're okay. I noticed you weren't at school today. Give me a call or text when you can. Hope you're feeling alright."

With a sigh, I put my phone away and decided to head over to her dorm to check on her in person.

Clara's words echoed in my mind as I hurried to Y/N's dorm. She had mentioned that Y/N seemed unusually quiet at the sleepover. Maybe she did catch a cold from the rain. I knocked on her door, my hair a bit disheveled and my tie loosened from my rush.

When the door creaked open, I was met with Y/N's surprised expression. My heart skipped a beat as I took in her appearance. 

She looked... well, she looked stunning, even though she seemed under the weather. Her eyes were wide with surprise, and there was something about her messy hair and tired eyes that made her look even more captivating.

Y/N's POV

I opened the door and was taken aback by Jimin's appearance. His hair was tousled, his tie was loosened, and he looked... surprisingly attractive in his casual state. My heart raced a little as I took in his disheveled look.

"Hey," I managed to say, trying to keep my voice steady. "What brings you here?"

"I, uh, noticed you weren't at school today," Jimin said, stepping inside when I gestured for him to enter. "Clara mentioned you seemed a bit off at the sleepover, so I thought I'd check in. Are you okay?"

I nodded, feeling a bit self-conscious under his concerned gaze. "I'm just a bit under the weather. Probably caught a cold from being out in the rain."

Jimin's expression softened as he looked at me with concern. "Yeah, Clara mentioned something about that. I was worried."

I felt a rush of warmth at his concern, but I tried to brush it off. "It's nothing serious. Just a cold. I'll be fine."

Jimin looked around, taking in the mess of blankets and tissues scattered around my room. "Do you need anything? Maybe some soup or... I don't know, help with anything?"

I shook my head, though I appreciated the offer. "No, I'm okay. Just need some rest."

He seemed to hesitate for a moment, then gave a small smile. "Alright, but if you need anything, just let me know."

I nodded, feeling a mix of gratitude and embarrassment. 

Jimin hesitated, then gave a small, reassuring smile. "Alright, but if you change your mind, just let me know. I don't mind helping out."

I nodded, feeling a bit better with his presence. "Thanks, Jimin. I will."

As he turned to leave, I couldn't help but feel a little warmth in my chest. His concern, even though I was trying to play it down, was comforting.

Jimin's POV

As I left her dorm, I couldn't shake the feeling of concern I had for Y/N. Seeing her like that, looking so vulnerable, made me realize just how much I cared. I hoped she'd feel better soon.

Damn it, she looked so... fragile, yet somehow still so captivating. 

Even though she was sick, her eyes had this soft glow that made me want to stay longer. 

Her hair was a bit messy, and she was wrapped in blankets, but there was something about her—maybe it was the way she tried to smile through her discomfort—that made my heart ache.

As I turned to leave, I couldn't shake the image of her looking so vulnerable yet beautiful. I really hoped she'd be okay.

I walked away, feeling a mix of frustration and concern. What the hell was wrong with me? I sighed heavily, shaking my head as I headed towards a nearby café. I grabbed some soup and packed it carefully in a cloth bag. I scribbled a quick note, trying to keep it casual:

"Hey, just wanted to drop by with some soup. Hope you're feeling better soon.  - Jimin"

I knocked on her dorm door, left the bag outside, and then hurried off before she could see me. I couldn't explain it, but I felt like I needed to do something, anything, to make sure she was okay.
