As the sangeet preparations continued, the energy in the mansion buzzed with excitement. Jimin found a quiet moment to escape the noise, stepping into a nearby gallery filled with vibrant artwork and twinkling lights. The atmosphere was serene, a stark contrast to the lively chaos outside.
He wandered among the paintings, lost in thought, when suddenly he heard footsteps behind him. Turning around, he found Yoongi leaning casually against the doorframe, a soft smile playing on his lips. “You look like you’re in another world,” he teased, stepping inside.
“Just admiring the art,” Jimin replied, trying to appear nonchalant, though his heart raced at Yoongi’s presence.
“Yeah? You think any of it is as beautiful as you?” Yoongi quipped, a playful glint in his eye.
“Very funny,” Jimin said, rolling his eyes but unable to suppress a smile. He stepped back, brushing against a wall, when he suddenly lost his balance. In a swift motion, Yoongi reached out, pinning Jimin gently against the wall.
Jimin’s breath caught in his throat. The sudden closeness made his heart race, and he felt a rush of panic. “Uh, Yoongi…”
“Hey, easy there,” Yoongi said, his voice calm, his gaze steady. “I’ve got you.”
Jimin swallowed hard, feeling the heat of embarrassment wash over him. “This is… kind of awkward.”
“Not really,” Yoongi replied, his tone reassuring. “It’s just us here. Just breathe.”
Jimin tried to focus on his breathing, but the proximity was overwhelming. “I’m not good with this… wall pinning thing,” he admitted, his cheeks flushed.
“Just relax,” Yoongi said softly, his expression turning serious. “I’m not going to hurt you. It’s just a moment.”
Jimin looked into Yoongi’s eyes, searching for any hint of teasing, but found only sincerity. “Okay… okay,” he said, feeling his heartbeat slow as he tried to calm down.
“See? Nothing to be scared of,” Yoongi said, his voice low and soothing. He leaned in slightly, their faces just inches apart. “It’s just a wall. And me.”
Jimin felt the warmth radiating from Yoongi, the tension morphing into something else entirely. “You make it sound so easy.”
“Because it is,” Yoongi replied, his gaze unwavering. “I’m right here. Just focus on me.”
With a shaky breath, Jimin nodded, the panic slowly fading. “Okay, I trust you.”
“Good,” Yoongi said, a hint of a smile returning. “Now, how about we turn this into a dance?”
“What?” Jimin exclaimed, caught off guard. “Here?”
“Why not?” Yoongi shrugged, the playful glimmer returning to his eyes. “Just let loose. I promise it’ll be fun.”
Before Jimin could protest, Yoongi began to sway slightly, still holding him against the wall. Hesitantly, Jimin matched his movements, feeling the rhythm of their bodies align.
“See? Not so bad, right?” Yoongi said, his voice low and warm.
Jimin felt a thrill of excitement coursing through him as they danced, the space between them charged with energy. “This is definitely unexpected,” he admitted, feeling more at ease.
“Good unexpected or bad unexpected?” Yoongi asked, his gaze softening.
“Good,” Jimin replied, smiling shyly. “Very good.”
As they continued to sway, Jimin felt the tension dissipate completely. “You’re really good at this,” he said, surprised by how comfortable he felt in Yoongi’s presence.
“I have my moments,” Yoongi replied, his voice teasing but his eyes sincere. “But it’s easy when it’s with you.”
Jimin’s heart skipped a beat at the sincerity in Yoongi’s voice. “You’re not as insufferable as I thought.”
“Thanks, I’ll take that as a compliment,” Yoongi said, leaning in a little closer, their noses almost touching. “Just promise me you won’t freak out if I pin you again.”
Jimin laughed, the sound echoing softly in the gallery. “I’ll try my best.”
As the music from the sangeet floated through the air, Jimin felt a sense of freedom he hadn’t anticipated. In that moment, pinned against the wall, he realized that the unexpected turns their relationship had taken were leading him somewhere exciting—somewhere he was beginning to want to explore.
