Unexpected Love (Bts Jimin ff)

Chapter 12: A Rainy Surprise

As the days turned into weeks, the bond between Lina and Jimin deepened, marked by laughter, shared secrets, and fleeting moments that made Lina’s heart race. However, the weather in Seoul was unpredictable. One moment, the sun would shine brightly, and the next, dark clouds would gather ominously overhead.

One particularly dreary afternoon, Lina found herself sitting in a cozy café near her university, staring out the window as raindrops danced down the glass. She had planned to meet Jimin later that day, but the sudden downpour had left her feeling uncertain.

“Do you think they’ll cancel?” she wondered aloud, her heart sinking at the thought of missing time with him. The café was filled with the aroma of freshly brewed coffee, and soft music played in the background, creating a warm atmosphere that contrasted sharply with her anxious thoughts.

Just then, her phone buzzed, interrupting her reverie. It was a message from Jimin.

Jimin: Hey! Are you still up for our plans? I’ll be there in ten!

Lina’s heart fluttered at his enthusiasm. Lina: Of course! I wouldn’t miss it for anything. See you soon!

Determined not to let the weather dampen her spirits, she ordered a hot chocolate and settled into a comfortable corner of the café, her excitement building with each passing moment.

When Jimin finally arrived, drenched from the rain but grinning from ear to ear, Lina couldn’t help but laugh. “You look like you just jumped into a pool!”

“I’d take a pool over this rain any day!” he replied, shaking off his umbrella and making a wet mess on the café floor. “But I couldn’t let a little rain keep me from seeing you.”

“You’re crazy,” she teased, handing him a napkin to dry his face. “But I’m glad you came anyway.”

After ordering his own drink, Jimin joined her at the small table, his excitement infectious. “I have a surprise for you!” he said, leaning in closer, his eyes twinkling with mischief.

“A surprise? What is it?” Lina asked, leaning forward, her curiosity piqued.

“You know how we’ve been talking about exploring more of the city? Well, I thought we could do something different today,” he said, his voice low as if sharing a secret. “I’ve arranged for us to go to a special indoor venue that has an art exhibition. They have an interactive space where you can create your own art!”

Lina’s face lit up. “Really? That sounds amazing! But wait—how did you manage to do that with this weather?”

“I have my ways,” he said, flashing her a playful smile. “Plus, I couldn’t let you miss out on an opportunity to unleash your creativity!”

She felt a rush of gratitude for his thoughtfulness. “You really know how to make a rainy day special, Jimin.”

After finishing their drinks, they braved the rain, running through the downpour to Jimin’s car. He turned on the heater, and soon they were chatting comfortably as the raindrops pattered against the windshield. The car was filled with an easy camaraderie, and Lina found herself stealing glances at Jimin as he concentrated on the road.

When they arrived at the art venue, the weather had not deterred the vibrant energy inside. The walls were adorned with colorful paintings, and the air was filled with the sounds of laughter and creativity. Lina’s heart raced at the sight of the interactive space, complete with canvases, paints, and various art supplies.

“Welcome to the creative oasis!” Jimin announced, dramatically opening his arms as if introducing her to a grand spectacle.

“This is incredible!” Lina exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with excitement. “I can’t believe you found this place!”

They spent the next few hours diving into their artistic endeavors. Jimin showed a surprisingly adept hand with the paintbrush, creating abstract pieces that made Lina giggle. “Look at you! I never knew you had it in you!” she teased.

“Hey, I’m a multi-talented guy!” he shot back, sticking his tongue out at her.

As they painted, they shared stories and laughter, their creative energy flowing seamlessly. Jimin had an innate ability to make her feel comfortable, and soon she found herself revealing her thoughts on art, dreams, and aspirations that she had never voiced before.

“Art has always been my escape,” she confessed, painting a delicate cherry blossom on her canvas. “It’s where I can be myself without judgment.”

“I get that,” Jimin replied, nodding. “For me, dancing is similar. It’s like a language that doesn’t need words.” He paused for a moment, contemplating. “You have such a unique perspective, Lina. You should consider sharing it with others.”

Lina’s heart swelled at his encouragement. “Thank you, Jimin. Your belief in me means more than you know.”

After hours of painting, their canvases were filled with splashes of color and creative expressions. They stepped back to admire their work, laughter bubbling between them as they compared their masterpieces.

“Okay, so I think I win for the most colorful piece!” Jimin declared, pointing at the vibrant swirls he had created.

“I don’t know about that. My cherry blossom has a certain elegance,” Lina countered playfully.

Just then, the lights flickered, and a staff member announced that they would soon be hosting a mini art show to showcase the works of the visitors. “Would you like to participate?” he asked, gesturing to their canvases.

Lina’s heart raced at the thought. “What do you think, Jimin? Should we?”

“Absolutely! It’ll be fun!” he encouraged, his enthusiasm contagious.

With their canvases displayed for everyone to see, they watched as other visitors admired their work. For a moment, Lina felt a mix of pride and vulnerability. Jimin stood beside her, beaming with joy, and she knew she wouldn’t trade this experience for anything.

As the evening wore on, the rain began to subside, leaving behind a fresh, clean scent in the air. Jimin turned to Lina, his eyes serious for a moment. “I’m really glad we did this. It’s nice to escape the chaos of life and just create together.”

“Me too,” she replied softly, her heart fluttering as she realized just how special this moment was to her.

As they packed up their things and prepared to leave, the sky began to clear, revealing a stunning sunset. “Look!” Jimin pointed, and they stepped outside to witness the breathtaking colors painting the sky.

“This is beautiful,” Lina whispered, her heart swelling with gratitude for the day and for Jimin by her side.

“Just like you,” he said softly, his gaze fixed on her.

Lina felt her cheeks flush as she met his gaze. In that moment, surrounded by the beauty of the world and the warmth of friendship, she realized that their connection was blossoming into something deeper—something that had the potential to become even more beautiful than the sunset before them.
