YN: (smiling, though her heart was racing) "Yeah... what about you, Scribbler?"
Moments later, her phone buzzed. Scribbler had replied.
Scribbler: "I might. I think a change of scenery could be fun. What are you most looking forward to?"
YN smiled to herself, feeling a strange comfort in their usual back-and-forth. She quickly responded.
YN: "The escape. Things have been... complicated lately. It'll be nice to just breathe for a bit."
She bit her lip, wondering if she was saying too much. Scribbler always had a way of making her feel like she could spill her thoughts without judgment, but still... she hesitated sometimes. Her phone buzzed again.
Scribbler: "Complicated, huh? If you ever need to vent, I'm here. You can tell me anything, Doll."
YN: "Yeah, complicated. There's this guy who keeps making things... interesting. Like, he's always so focused on studying, but then he suddenly acts like he cares about what I'm doing."
Scribbler: "Oh? Sounds like someone's caught his attention. What's he been doing?"
YN: (typing) "Well, he asked me the other day who I was texting. Like, why does it matter to him? It's just a casual chat!"
Scribbler: (intrigued) "Hmmm, sounds a bit possessive. Does he have a crush on you?"
YN hesitated, biting her lip. It was difficult to explain everything but Scribbler was so easy to talk to.
YN: "I don't know! One minute he's acting like he doesn't care, and the next he's asking questions about my life. It's confusing!"
Scribbler: "Confusing, huh? Why do I feel jealous about this guy? It's not like I know him."
YN chuckled to herself, finding Scribbler's sudden jealousy amusing. She decided to tease a bit.
YN: "Jealous? Why are you being jealous? Are you secretly crushing on me too?"
Scribbler: (playfully) "Hey now, I'm just looking out for you! Can't a guy be concerned about a girl he likes without it being a crush?"
YN: "Honestly? I think I'm just going to enjoy the trip and see where things go. No need to stress!"
Scribbler: "You better not fall for his brooding charm while I'm here, okay? I can be quite charming myself, you know!"
YN: "Oh, I'm aware! But let's just see how this drama unfolds first."
Scribbler: "Fine, but if I hear you're swooning over him, I'm showing up with a banner that says 'Mine!'"
Jimin leaned closer, eager to see her response. He couldn't suppress a chuckle at how cute she looked, biting her lip in contemplation.
YN: (grinning) "Oh really? I'd love to see that! Just imagine-me, trying to explain to everyone why my secret admirer is parading around with a ridiculous banner."
Scribbler: "Exactly! And I'll make sure it's sparkly. Can't let you forget who you belong to!"
YN: (teasing) "Belong? Sounds a bit possessive, don't you think? What if I do fall for his 'brooding charm'?"
Scribbler: "You better not! If he's good-looking, I might have to rethink my life choices."
YN: (smirking) "Oh, trust me. He's got that smirk that could light up a room... or cause a fire."
Scribbler: "I knew it!
YN: "I need to get back to class. I can't keep giggling like this!"
Scribbler: "Alright, but don't forget: I'm always here, cheering you on. Just... keep that guy in check for me, okay?"
YN: "Will do! See you later, Scribbler!"
Scribbler: "Catch you later, Doll!
YN turned back to see Jimin across the room, his gaze fixed on her. Their eyes locked for a brief moment, and YN felt a flutter of nerves. Jimin was sitting with Jungkook, leaning back in his chair with that trademark smirk plastered on his face. The way his lips curved upwards then, in an unexpected burst of confidence, he dramatically blew her a kiss
YN: (muttering to herself) "What did I just see? Did he really blow a kiss? Am I imagining things?"
Bora, sitting beside her, caught YN's bewildered expression and leaned in closer.
Bora: "You look like you've seen a ghost. What's up?"
YN: (still trying to wrap her head around Jimin's gesture) "I... I think Jimin just blew me a kiss."
Bora's eyes widened, and she burst out laughing.
Bora: "No way! Are you serious? What did you do to make him act like that?"
YN: (flustered, covering her face) "I have no idea! One minute he's all serious, and the next he's being... whatever that was!"
Meanwhile, Jimin was trying to stifle his laughter behind Jungkook, who was oblivious to the playful chaos unfolding.
Jungkook: (glancing back at Jimin) "What's got you so giddy?"
Jimin: (grinning wider) "Oh, nothing. Just messing with my doll a bit. You should've seen her face when I blew that kiss!"
Jungkook: (smirking) "You really blew a kiss? What if she actually swoons?"
Jimin: (leaning closer, his eyes twinkling) "Then my plan is working! Who can resist this charming face?"
Back at her desk, YN was struggling to refocus on the lecture, but her mind kept drifting back to Jimin's playful antics. Just then, the bell rang, signaling the end of class.
YN: (to herself, heart racing) "Finally! I need to get out of here."
As the students began to gather their things, YN turned to Bora, still buzzing with excitement.
YN: "I can't believe he did that! What does it even mean?"
Bora: (grinning) "It means he's into you! You should talk to him!"
Jimin, overhearing their conversation, leaned over and pretended to be interested in YN's phone screen.
Jimin: (feigning innocence) "What's this? Gossiping about me, are we?"
YN quickly hid her phone, her heart racing. Jimin's playful smirk made her want to roll her eyes but also smile.
Bora: (stifling a laugh) "Maybe she's just trying to figure out how to deal with all that brooding charm you're throwing her way!"
