🥀 Love is pain 🥀 ' Junoon ❣️ ' ( ✓ )

10.

As the music swirled around them, Jimin found himself lost in the rhythm, the playful exchanges with Yoongi feeling more electric with each beat. They danced close, the space between them charged with unspoken tension.

“See? You’re having fun!” Yoongi exclaimed, grinning as he twirled Jimin again, their movements fluid and natural.

“Don’t get cocky,” Jimin retorted, but his smile betrayed him. “I’m just trying not to step on your toes.”

“Good luck with that,” Yoongi shot back, his eyes sparkling with mischief. “I can’t promise I won’t step on yours either.”

“Great. Just what I need,” Jimin replied, rolling his eyes but unable to suppress his laughter.

As the song shifted to a slower melody, the mood softened. Yoongi took a step closer, their bodies almost brushing against each other. “You know,” he said, his voice low, “you’re really something when you let loose.”

Jimin’s heart raced, the intensity of Yoongi’s gaze making it hard to focus. “Yeah, well, don’t get used to it. This isn’t a regular occurrence,” he managed, trying to sound nonchalant.

“Too bad,” Yoongi replied, a playful smirk tugging at his lips. “I think I like this side of you.”

“Stop flirting,” Jimin shot back, though his voice lacked its usual edge.

“Who’s flirting?” Yoongi replied innocently, though the teasing glint in his eyes gave him away.

Jimin’s cheeks flushed. “You are!”

“Maybe I just find you intriguing,” Yoongi said, stepping a little closer, their faces just inches apart. “There’s more to you than meets the eye, Jimin.”

Jimin felt a flutter in his chest, and he quickly looked away, trying to regain his composure. “This is ridiculous,” he muttered, but the smile on his face betrayed his annoyance.

“Ridiculous is fun,” Yoongi replied, brushing his fingers lightly against Jimin’s arm. The touch sent shivers down Jimin’s spine, and he fought to keep his cool.

“Okay, okay, let’s just focus on dancing,” Jimin said, stepping back slightly, though he could still feel the heat radiating from Yoongi.

“Fine, but only if you promise not to step on my toes,” Yoongi teased, pulling Jimin back into the dance with a playful grin.

As they swayed to the music, the laughter and chatter of their friends faded into the background. It was just the two of them, caught in a moment that felt both exhilarating and terrifying.

Meanwhile, Jungkook and Taehyung watched from the sidelines, their eyes filled with knowing smiles. “Looks like they’re having a moment,” Taehyung said, nudging Jungkook.

“Should we intervene?” Jungkook asked, a hint of mischief in his voice.

“Not yet. Let them have their fun,” Taehyung replied, his gaze lingering on Jimin and Yoongi.

Back on the dance floor, Jimin was still caught in a mix of annoyance and amusement. “You’re insufferable, you know that?” he said, trying to sound serious.

“Insufferable? Or just irresistibly charming?” Yoongi shot back, his playful demeanor unwavering.

Jimin huffed, shaking his head. “You really have an inflated ego.”

“Maybe I do,” Yoongi admitted, a smirk still plastered on his face. “But you’re the one dancing with me, remember?”

“Ugh, you’re impossible,” Jimin replied, though the laughter escaping his lips betrayed his frustration.

“I prefer ‘charming,’” Yoongi said with a wink.

As the song came to an end, Jimin stepped back, catching his breath. “Okay, enough of this. I need a drink,” he declared, turning to head toward the refreshment table.

“Wait, I’ll get it for you!” Yoongi called after him, catching up and falling into step beside him.

“Seriously, you don’t have to,” Jimin insisted, trying to sound dismissive.

“But I want to,” Yoongi replied, flashing that infuriating smile that made Jimin’s heart race.

As they reached the table, Jimin poured himself a glass of water and handed one to Yoongi. “Here, don’t say I never did anything nice for you.”

“Thanks, I appreciate it,” Yoongi said, taking the glass and leaning against the table casually.

They stood there for a moment, sipping their drinks, the playful banter fading into a comfortable silence.

“Do you ever think about what happens after the wedding?” Yoongi suddenly asked, breaking the quiet.

“What do you mean?” Jimin replied, surprised by the shift in conversation.

“I mean, what comes next for us? For Jungkook and Taehyung?” Yoongi said, his tone more serious now.

Jimin paused, contemplating the question. “I guess… we just keep living, right? Together in this mansion, figuring it out.”

“Right,” Yoongi said, his expression thoughtful. “It’s going to be an adjustment for all of us.”

“Yeah,” Jimin replied, feeling a mix of excitement and apprehension. “But I think it could be fun.”

Yoongi smiled, a genuine warmth in his gaze. “I think so too. Just imagine all the memories we’ll create.”

Jimin nodded, feeling a flicker of hope. “And all the ridiculous moments you’ll create with your endless teasing.”

Yoongi chuckled. “That’s the best part.”

Just then, Jungkook and Taehyung approached, their faces alight with excitement. “We were thinking of doing a group dance for the sangeet! What do you guys think?” Jungkook proposed.

Jimin turned to Yoongi, who shrugged. “I’m in. Let’s make it chaotic.”

“Of course you’d want chaos,” Jimin said, rolling his eyes.

“Chaos is fun,” Yoongi replied with a wink.

As the four of them began discussing their plans, Jimin felt the earlier tension shift into something lighter, yet the connection with Yoongi lingered in the back of his mind.

The rest of the night was filled with laughter, dance, and the promise of new beginnings. Jimin couldn’t help but glance at Yoongi, who caught his gaze and offered a knowing smile. It was a moment that made Jimin wonder if perhaps this was just the beginning of something special—something beyond the teasing and banter, something that could blossom into a deeper connection as they navigated this new chapter of their lives together.
