Jimin's playful grin widened. "Five kisses, and the diary is all yours."
"Five? Kiss? Are you serious?" YN asked, incredulous.
Jimin shrugged, clearly enjoying her reaction. "If you're not up for it, I guess you don't need your diary."
He opened the diary and started reading aloud. "Toda, Mr. Arrogant hugged me... in the library..."
"No! Please stop!" YN begged, her face burning with embarrassment.
"Agree to my terms, then," Jimin said, smirking.
YN narrowed her eyes at him. "Don't you think it's rude to read someone's diary?"
"Don't you think it's rude to write about someone without their consent?" Jimin countered, his smirk widening.
Frustrated but amused, YN bit her lip, trying to think of a way out of the situation. Finally, she stepped forward, her eyes locked on his. "I'm not going to kiss you," she said firmly. "Tell me what you really want."
Jimin's grin softened slightly. "I told you. I just want a kiss."
With a boldness she didn't know she had, YN grabbed Jimin's collar and quickly gave him a peck on the cheek before stepping back.
Jimin blinked, momentarily stunned by her sudden action. He quickly recovered, though, a sly smile creeping across his face. "I didn't ask you to kiss me now," he said, teasing. "Why are you in such a hurry? I'll let you know where and when you need to kiss me."
YN raised an eyebrow, crossing her arms. "Excuse me? You mean you want five kisses, not all at once, and you get to decide where I have to kiss you?"
Jimin's smirk widened. "Exactly. And if you don't agree, you can forget about your diary."
YN let out an exasperated sigh. "Wahhhhh! Look, Mr. Arrogant, I'm not giving you kisses."
Jimin waved her diary in the air. "Then I guess you don't need this."
YN's frustration mounted, but before she could protest further, Jimin added, "I want my first kiss today. After classes. In the library. If you want your diary, be there."
"N-No! I'm not-" YN started, but Jimin had already turned around and walked out, leaving her standing in the empty classroom, flustered and unsure of what to do next.
A mischievous smirk lingered on Jimin's face as he walked away, knowing that YN would be thinking about his challenge for the rest of the day. As YN walked back into the classroom, she slumped into her seat beside Bora, visibly frustrated.
Bora immediately turned to her with curiosity. "So, what did he say?"
YN sighed dramatically. "He has my diary."
Bora's eyes widened. "Great! Did he give it back?"
"No!" YN cried out, putting on a mock sob as she covered her face.
Bora leaned in, concerned. "Wait, what's wrong then? Why are you acting like this?"
YN peeked out from between her fingers, her voice low and defeated. "He said he'll only give it back if I give him 5 kisses."
Bora stared at her in shock for a second before bursting into uncontrollable laughter. "Wait, WHAT?! Are you serious?!" she managed between giggles.
YN groaned and nodded. "It's not funny, Bora!" She buried her face in her hands again.
Bora, still laughing, wiped a tear from her eye. "Oh my God, that is so Jimin! Only he would come up with something so ridiculous!"
"Five kisses, Bora!" YN muttered, peeking up at her friend, her face full of disbelief. "And he said he gets to choose where and when!"
Bora gasped dramatically, her eyes widening with excitement. "Wait, wait-so, are you actually going to do it?"
YN sighed, resting her head on the desk. "I don't know! He's basically holding my diary hostage!"
Bora leaned closer, nudging YN with her elbow, her voice teasing. "Come on, be honest-maybe you don't mind kissing him as much as you pretend to."
YN immediately sat up, her face flushed red. "Shut up, Bora!" she hissed, but her heart fluttered slightly at the thought.
Bora grinned, watching her closely. "See? You don't seem that upset about it."
YN crossed her arms, trying to play it off. "I'm upset, okay?! But he's just... Ugh, it's Jimin! And the way he smirked when he said it... It's infuriating."
Bora laughed again. "Oh, Muffin, I think you might actually be enjoying this game of his."
