They walked side by side, the night air cool and crisp around them. Each step felt lighter, and with every moment, the gap between them seemed to shrink. Jimin occasionally glanced at her, catching her blush in the soft light of the hotel's path.
When they finally arrived at the hotel, Jimin stopped in front of YN's room. He turned to her, the mischievous grin still playing on his lips.
YN: "Good night, Jimin." She felt the blush rise to her cheeks again, her heart racing with the memory of their earlier closeness.
Jimin: "Good night... Muffin." He winked, clearly enjoying the effect his teasing had on her.
In a split second, YN shot him a death glare. "Leave before I kill you!" she exclaimed, half-joking, half-serious.
Jimin chuckled, holding up his hands in mock surrender. "Bye, Muffin!" He turned on his heels and ran down the hall to his own room, laughter echoing in the air behind him.
YN watched him go, a smile breaking through her annoyance. She couldn't help but feel a giddy thrill at their banter. Shaking her head, she opened the door to her room, stepping inside to find Bora already lounging on one of the beds, scrolling through her phone.
Bora looked up, raising an eyebrow at YN's beaming face. "What's got you all smiley? Did you just have a romantic encounter or something?"
YN plopped down on the bed next to Bora, her heart still racing from the night's events. "You could say that," she said, a shy grin spreading across her face as she recounted her evening with Jimin.
Bora listened intently, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "Oh my gosh! You're totally crushing on him, aren't you?"
YN laughed nervously, her cheeks still flushed. "Maybe a little," she admitted, her heart fluttering at the thought.
Bora squealed, clapping her hands. "This is so cute! I can't wait to see where this goes!"
YN lay back on the bed, staring up at the ceiling, her mind swirling with thoughts of Jimin. The teasing, the laughter, and the moments they shared replayed in her head, each one making her heart race a little faster.

"Wait... why am I falling for him?" YN thought, her brow furrowing in confusion. "No, no, he's just playing around!"She felt a mix of excitement and uncertainty wash over her.
She smiled, hiding her face under the pillow, trying to block out the rush of emotions. "I don't know what it is," she mumbled into the soft fabric, "but I like him being around me."
Bora giggled, pulling the pillow away from YN's face. "Admit it! You love the attention! And he definitely has a way of getting under your skin, doesn't he?"
YN sat up, her expression half-serious, half-playful. "I mean, it's frustrating, but... it's nice, too. He's different from the other guys. There's something about him."
"Different how?" Bora asked, leaning in with curiosity. "Is it the way he annoys you? Or maybe his smug smirk?"
"It's not just that!" YN retorted, but she couldn't help the smile creeping onto her face. "He's... I don't know. There's this spark between us."
Bora nodded, a knowing look in her eyes. "That's it! You're totally into him! You should tell him how you feel!"
"No way!" YN exclaimed, shaking her head vigorously. "What if he thinks I'm just another girl who's interested in him? I can't be just another name on his list!"
"But what if you're not? What if he likes you back?" Bora's eyes sparkled with mischief. "You've got to give it a shot! Besides, you're way more than just a name. You're YN!"
YN bit her lip, contemplating. "I guess I just don't want to get hurt. He's so... complicated. And I have no idea if he feels the same way."
"Then find out! Life's too short to wonder what if!" Bora encouraged, nudging YN playfully. "You're brave in so many ways, but when it comes to feelings, you turn into a total chicken!"
YN couldn't help but laugh at the truth in Bora's words. "You make it sound so easy, but it's not! What if I ruin everything?"
Bora shrugged, her expression softening. "Or you could make it so much better. Just be honest with him. You deserve to be happy."
YN lay back down, staring at the ceiling again, contemplating her friend's advice. She wanted to be brave, to take a leap of faith. But fear and uncertainty held her back. At that moment, she realized she had a decision to make.
"Okay," she finally said, determination creeping into her voice. "Maybe I'll figure out how to tell him... eventually."
Bora grinned, clearly pleased with YN's progress. "That's the spirit! Just remember, no matter what happens, I'm here for you."
YN smiled, feeling a rush of gratitude for her friend. "Thanks, Bora. You're the best." They both hugged each other.
