One night, after a dinner out, Siniz couldn't hold back her curiosity any longer. They were lounging on the couch, watching a random movie, when Siniz paused it.

"Okay, spill," Siniz said, turning to Shanaya with a mischievous grin.

Shanaya, pretending to be confused, raised an eyebrow. "What are you talking about?"

"You and Jimin," Siniz said, her grin growing wider. "I've seen the way he looks at you."

Shanaya's face flushed. "What? Jimin? No way."

"Don't even try to deny it," Siniz teased, poking her friend. "You're blushing!"

Shanaya groaned, covering her face with a pillow. "Okay, fine! Maybe there's something. But it's nothing serious... yet."

Siniz's eyes sparkled with excitement. "Yet?"

Shanaya laughed, tossing the pillow aside. "He's just... I don't know. Jimin's fun. He's sweet, and he makes me laugh."

Siniz nodded knowingly. "And you like him."

Shanaya hesitated for a moment before nodding. "Yeah, I think I do. But I am afraid so...I mean, he's Jimin. He's part of BTS, and I'm just—"

"Don't start with that 'I'm just an ordinary girl' nonsense," Siniz cut her off. "If I can date Jungkook, you can definitely date Jimin."

Shanaya smiled, though there was still a hint of uncertainty in her eyes. "We'll see. For now, I'm just trying to keep things light."

A few weeks later, Siniz wasn't the only one sneaking around BigHit. Shanaya and Jimin had started seeing each other more often, and it was clear to anyone paying attention that there was something happening between them.

One evening, as the group gathered for a casual dinner at office, Siniz caught Jimin sneaking glances at Shanaya throughout the night. And every time Shanaya smiled or laughed, Jimin's face lit up like he had won the lottery.

The final straw came when Jimin, in his typical dramatic fashion, stood up and announced, "Okay, I can't hide it anymore."

The room went quiet as everyone turned to look at him.

"What is it now, Jimin?" Jin asked, raising an eyebrow.

Jimin grinned, looking directly at Shanaya. "I like her."

Shanaya, who had been taking a sip of her drink, nearly choked. "Excuse me?"

"I like you, Shanaya," Jimin repeated, ignoring the laughter that erupted around the room. "And you like me too."

Shanaya's face turned bright red as she glared at him. "Jimin! You didn't have to say that in front of everyone! Not yet...!"

"Why not?" he asked, sitting back down with a smug smile. "Now that it's out in the open, we can stop pretending and just... be."

The rest of the members burst into teasing comments, congratulating them and cracking jokes, while Shanaya tried to hide her embarrassment.

But despite the chaos, there was a moment—just a brief one—where Siniz saw the way Shanaya looked at Jimin, and she knew her friend was happy.

It was a rare quiet evening at the apartment Siniz and Shanaya shared, a peaceful break from their usual whirlwind schedules. The living room was softly lit by a warm lamp, and the two friends sat together on the couch, sipping tea and enjoying the calm.

Shanaya stretched her legs out and sighed contentedly. "You know, it feels like forever since we just sat like this, doesn't it?"

Siniz nodded, leaning back against the cushions. "Yeah, we've been so busy lately, between work and... well, everything else."

Shanaya smiled, setting her cup down on the table. "Everything else... meaning Jungkook and Jimin, right?"

Siniz chuckled softly, feeling a flutter in her chest at the mention of Jungkook's name. "Yeah, I guess. It's kind of surreal, right? I mean, we're literally dating *global* stars."

Shanaya raised an eyebrow, a playful smile on her face. "Tell me about it. If you'd told me a year ago that I'd be dating Park Jimin, I would've laughed. Now look at us."

Siniz smiled, glancing at her friend. "It's crazy how much our lives have changed. I still feel like I'm dreaming sometimes. Like, how did we end up here?"

Shanaya nodded thoughtfully. "I think about that a lot too. One day, we're just working our normal jobs, trying to keep everything professional, and now... we're dating two of the biggest stars in the world. It's definitely not something I ever saw coming."

Siniz leaned her head back against the couch, her thoughts drifting to Jungkook. "It's weird, right? They're global idols, but when it's just us, it feels so... normal. Like they're just guys we like. And we can laugh and talk and hang out without all the craziness of their world."

Shanaya agreed, her expression softening. "Exactly. Jimin is just so down-to-earth. He's sweet, caring, and funny, and I forget sometimes that the rest of the world sees him as this untouchable star. But to me, he's just Jimin."

Siniz smiled, feeling the same way about Jungkook. "Yeah, Jungkook's the same. He's goofy, thoughtful, and always making sure I'm okay. I mean, he's still the guy who can sell out stadiums and break records, but when it's just us, it feels... easy."

Shanaya gave her a knowing look. "You've fallen hard, haven't you?"

Siniz's cheeks flushed, but she didn't deny it. "Yeah, I guess I have. It's scary, though. Dating someone like Jungkook... it's a lot. There's so much that comes with it—being in the public eye, the constant attention. I worry about how it'll all affect us."

Shanaya leaned closer, her tone more serious. "I get that. I've had the same thoughts with Jimin. It's a whole new world we're stepping into. But, at the same time, they're worth it, you know? They make it worth it."

Siniz smiled, feeling the weight of Shanaya's words sink in. "Yeah, they do. As long as we have each other and we're honest with them, I think we'll be okay."

Shanaya grinned, her playful side returning. "Plus, I mean, who can complain about dating two incredibly talented and gorgeous men? I'd say we've done pretty well for ourselves."

They both burst into laughter, the sound filling the cozy space around them.

Siniz shook her head, still smiling. "Yeah, I'd say we're doing just fine."

The two friends settled back into a comfortable silence, the weight of their conversation hanging in the air. Though their lives had changed in ways they could have never imagined, they had each other to lean on. And as long as they stayed true to who they were, Siniz and Shanaya knew they could handle whatever came next in this new chapter of their lives.
