As Bora pulled YN a little further away from the group, they stood by the edge of the forest path, where the sound of the waterfall was still faint but calming. Bora turned to YN with a curious, knowing look.
"So," Bora started, raising an eyebrow, "anything you want to tell me?" Her voice was teasing, and YN could already feel the heat rushing to her cheeks.
"W-What do you mean?" YN stammered, trying to act casual but failing miserably. She fiddled with the hem of her shirt, avoiding Bora's gaze.
Bora let out a playful sigh. "Oh, come on, YN. You and Jimin were looking really close back there. Something happened, didn't it?" She leaned in closer, her eyes glinting with curiosity. "Don't even try to deny it! You're blushing."
YN bit her lip, feeling the embarrassment rise. "I mean... nothing really happened," she mumbled, but her flustered tone gave her away completely.
Bora crossed her arms, her grin widening. "Uh-huh. That's why you're turning red, right?" She nudged YN lightly with her elbow. "Come on, spill the details. What did he say? Did he make a move? He's totally into you, isn't he?"
YN's heart raced, thinking back to how Jimin had held her hand, rested his head on her shoulder, and teased her. The memory of his soft voice and that playful smirk made her even more flustered.
"I don't know," YN finally said, glancing at the ground. "He's just... being Jimin. Teasing me. But... it feels different."
"Different how?" Bora pressed, her eyes lighting up even more.
YN hesitated, her voice softening. "I think he likes me... but I don't know. It's confusing."
Bora gasped dramatically. "He definitely likes you! I've seen the way he looks at you—it's not just teasing. There's more to it. You're telling me you don't feel anything?"
YN shyly nodded. "I... might feel something, too."
Bora smiled knowingly and wrapped her arm around YN's shoulder. "I knew it! You're both falling for each other. I can't wait to see where this goes."
YN's face turned even redder, and she playfully shoved Bora, trying to brush it off, but deep down, she couldn't help but feel her heart fluttering with every word Bora said.
After a fun-filled day at the waterfalls, everyone headed back to their hotel, laughing and chatting about the adventures they had. The cool mist of the falls, the playful splashing, and the serene atmosphere had made it a perfect day. YN, in particular, couldn't help but smile as she recalled the way Jimin had teased her throughout, always finding ways to stay close.
As the evening settled in, they all retired to their rooms, tired but happy. YN fell into a deep sleep the moment her head hit the pillow, exhausted from the day's excitement.
The next morning, YN woke up a little late, feeling groggy and disoriented. She rubbed her eyes, still half-asleep, when she heard the sound of water running in the bathroom. Confused, she sat up and glanced around, realizing the bathroom door was slightly ajar.
Without thinking, she shuffled to the door, her curiosity piqued. She knocked softly, "Bora?"
But instead of Bora's voice, Jimin opened the door, wearing nothing but a bathrobe. YN's eyes widened in shock, her mouth falling open.
"Good morning, Muffin," Jimin greeted her with a soft chuckle, his voice low and playful. He leaned in slightly and casually pushed a strand of her hair behind her ear. "Sleep well?"
YN stood frozen, her face flushing deep red. "Wh—what are you doing here?" she managed to ask, her heart pounding in her chest.
Jimin leaned against the doorframe, completely unbothered by her shock. "Relax, Muffin. The hot water wasn't working in our room, so I asked Bora if I could use your bathroom. She said it was fine."
YN blinked, trying to process his words. "Good... you're done, right? Now leave," she said, her voice wavering, as she tried to regain control of the situation.
Jimin raised an eyebrow, clearly amused by her flustered state. "Do you want me to go out like this?" He tugged at his bathrobe playfully. "Won't you be jealous if a random girl sees me without a shirt?"
It was then that YN realized he wasn't wearing anything underneath the robe. Her eyes widened again, and she immediately covered her face with her hands, her cheeks burning. "Wear it and leave—quickly!" she stammered, her voice barely a squeak.
Jimin chuckled and gently grabbed her wrists, pulling her hands away from her face. "Do you really want me to leave, Muffin?" His voice was low, and his eyes sparkled with mischief.
YN felt her breath catch in her throat, completely frozen by his teasing. "I—I..." she tried to respond but couldn't form any words.
Just then, her push to escape from his grip caused Jimin, whose feet were still wet from the bathroom, to slip. In an instant, they both tumbled backward onto the bed, YN landing on top of him.
Before she could even react, their lips touched—softly, unexpectedly. Both of their eyes widened in shock as they realized what had just happened. Time seemed to stop for a moment, the accidental kiss lingering between them.
Neither of them moved, still too stunned to process it, their faces inches apart, their lips barely brushing. The tension in the room was palpable, thick with unspoken feelings and the sudden awareness of how close they were.
Meanwhile, outside the room, Bora and Jungkook approached, ready to call YN and Jimin for breakfast. As they opened the door, they were greeted by the sight of the two lying on the bed, still locked in their accidental kiss.
Bora's eyes widened, and she quickly shut the door without saying a word. She turned to Jungkook, who looked equally surprised but also a little amused. "Let's... give them some more time," she whispered, pulling him away with a grin.
Back inside, YN finally snapped back to reality, pulling away from Jimin as quickly as possible. Her face was a bright shade of red, and her heart was beating wildly in her chest. "Th-that didn't happen," she stammered, standing up and trying to compose herself.
Jimin, still lying on the bed, propped himself up on his elbows and gave her a lazy grin. "I don't mean to but whatever you say, Muffin," he teased. "But I'm not sure we can just pretend it didn't."
