🥀 Love is pain 🥀 ' Junoon ❣️ ' ( ✓ )

19.

The room buzzed with excitement as plans for the trip to London began to take shape. Taehyung and Jungkook were already talking about visiting iconic landmarks like the London Eye and Big Ben, while Jimin sat back, arms crossed, trying not to look too engaged, though he couldn’t completely hide his curiosity.

Yoongi, sitting next to him, was surprisingly quiet, a small smirk playing on his lips as he watched the enthusiastic chatter unfold. At one point, Yoongi leaned toward Jimin, his voice low enough for only him to hear. “You know, I think you’re secretly looking forward to this trip.”

Jimin shot him a look, raising an eyebrow. “Oh, really? What makes you think that?”

Yoongi shrugged nonchalantly, still smirking. “Just a feeling. And the fact that you’re not arguing anymore.”

Jimin huffed, pretending to be annoyed. “I’m only going because Jungkook and Taehyung are so stubborn. Otherwise, I’d be perfectly happy staying home.”

“Sure, you would,” Yoongi said, his tone dripping with sarcasm. His gaze lingered on Jimin for a moment longer than usual, the teasing glint in his eyes softening slightly. “Besides, it’ll be fun. We’ll get to explore, relax, maybe even find some quiet spots away from these two.”

Jimin felt a slight flutter in his chest at Yoongi’s words but quickly pushed the feeling aside, not wanting to dwell on it. “Yeah, well, don’t expect me to follow you around everywhere,” he muttered, trying to maintain his usual tough demeanor.

Yoongi chuckled. “Wouldn’t dream of it.”

Across the table, Jungkook and Taehyung were still deep in discussion, laughing and exchanging ideas for their honeymoon itinerary. Taehyung’s eyes sparkled with excitement as he leaned into Jungkook, their shared joy palpable. Jungkook, as always, was fully absorbed in Taehyung’s enthusiasm, his arm casually draped around his new husband’s shoulders.

“You know what?” Taehyung said suddenly, turning to face Jimin and Yoongi. “We should all do something together on the first day. A fun group activity before Jungkook and I go off on our honeymoon adventures.”

Jimin raised an eyebrow. “Like what? Sightseeing?”

Taehyung grinned. “Exactly! We’ll pick something cool. Maybe a tour or a boat ride along the Thames. Something memorable.”

Jimin sighed but couldn’t help the small smile creeping onto his face. “Fine, but after that, you two are on your own.”

Jungkook laughed, nudging Taehyung playfully. “See? I told you Jimin would come around.”

Yoongi, leaning back in his chair, watched the exchange with quiet amusement. He glanced over at Jimin, catching his eye, and for a moment, their usual bickering was replaced by a shared understanding. This trip might be more interesting than Jimin had initially thought.

As the night wore on and the conversation continued, Yoongi found himself stealing more glances at Jimin, noting how, despite his protests, Jimin seemed genuinely excited about the trip. There was something about the way Jimin carried himself, that tough exterior hiding a softer side that Yoongi found increasingly intriguing.

Meanwhile, Taehyung and Jungkook were already lost in their own world, discussing potential activities and places to visit in London. They leaned into each other, their hands occasionally brushing in quiet, intimate moments that spoke volumes about their deep bond.

Yoongi couldn’t help but smirk, noticing how Jimin’s eyes occasionally flicked over to Taekook, as if watching them stirred something inside him. He nudged Jimin lightly with his elbow. “You know,” he said quietly, “you’re not so different from them.”
