Jungkook: "Hyung, don't tell her you're the scribbler just yet. Use this as your chance to get close to her. As Jimin, you pushed her away, but as the scribbler, you have a clean slate. You can be the one who understands her, listens to her without any walls between you two."
Jimin: "But how long can I keep that secret? Won't she hate me when she finds out?"
Jungkook: "Not if you handle it right. Let her see the real you through the scribbler. Once you've built that connection, you can reveal the truth. By then, she'll already know your heart."
Jimin: (pausing) "But what if it backfires? What if she thinks I'm playing with her?"
Jungkook: "Not if you're genuine. Take your time, hyung. She already feels connected to the scribbler. Just be that guy-don't rush it."
Jimin: (smiling slightly) "Maybe you're right. I'll get close to her first... Then, when the time is right, I'll tell her everything."
Jungkook: (grinning) "Exactly, hyung. Play it smart. You've got this!"
Jimin: (nodding, determined) "Yeah... I'm going to make sure I don't lose her." Jimin hugged Jungkook, feeling a mix of relief and excitement flood through him. They both laughed loudly, the tension between them easing. In that moment, everything felt lighter.
Suddenly, YN walked into the room. Jimin and Jungkook immediately went silent, their laughter fading as they noticed her presence.
YN raised an eyebrow, staring directly at Jimin. She had caught him mid-laugh-something she hadn't seen in a long time, or possibly ever.
YN: (mocking disbelief) "Jungkook, what's going on with your friend?"
Jungkook glanced at Jimin and then back at YN, trying to suppress his amusement.
YN: (pointing at Jimin) "He's being weird. He's smiling. How can he smile? And now he's laughing with you?" (crossing her arms) "Is he sick or something?"
Jungkook: (grinning) "Yeah, maybe he's caught something... like feelings."
YN: (frowning) "Feelings? For who?"
Jimin shot Jungkook a warning look, but Jungkook just smirked, clearly enjoying the moment.
Jungkook: (playfully) "Ah, YN, some mysteries are better left unsolved."
YN: (rolling her eyes) "You're both acting weird." (glancing back at Jimin) "Seriously, are you okay?"
Jimin: (smiling slightly, trying to play it cool) "I'm fine. Just... trying something new."
YN: (raising an eyebrow) "Like what? Smiling?"
Jimin: (laughing softly) "Yeah, something like that."
YN: (squinting at him) "Well, it's creeping me out. Go back to being your usual self. It's less confusing."
Jungkook laughed under his breath, but Jimin just shook his head, trying to suppress the grin threatening to appear on his face again.
YN, still slightly suspicious, walked past them to her desk, casting one last glance at Jimin before focusing on her books.
Jungkook leaned over to Jimin, whispering quietly.
Jungkook: "You're lucky she didn't catch on, Jiminaa."
Jimin: (smirking) "I'm playing it cool. Just wait... Things are about to get interesting."
The Next Day
As Yn stepped onto the terrace, Yn heart raced with anticipation. The sunlight sparkled against the freshly washed wall, and Yn's eyes widened when she spotted his number.
Yn: (breathless) "This is it!"
Yn eagerly took out her phone and saved the number, excitement coursing her through.
Yn: (typing quickly) "Hi.
Jimin stared at his phone, a grin spreading across his face as he saw YN's name pop up on the screen. Taking a deep breath, he typed back, keeping his tone light and playful.
Jimin: Who is this?
He knew it was YN, but he wanted to play along with Jungkook's plan. His heart raced as he awaited her response.
YN: Your terrace friend.
Jimin chuckled to himself, imagining her excitement on the other side of the phone.
Jimin: Hi! How are you? It's weird; this is the first time I'm giving my number to someone.
YN: Me too! This is the first time I'm talking with someone whose name I don't even know.
Jimin: Thanks for giving me courage. These days, I feel happier.
YN: I'm glad I helped you!
There was a brief pause as Jimin read her words, feeling a warmth spread through him.
Jimin: You have no idea how much that means to me. It's like you've been there for me without even knowing it.
YN: It feels nice to connect with someone, even anonymously. I hope you don't mind me calling you Scribbler!
Jimin: Scribbler, it is! I kinda like it.
I couldn't help but smile, knowing that this was the start of something new and exciting.
