16 ~ outing

Inside Jimin's apartment, he and Rain were curled up together on the couch, a light gray blanket draped over them. The soft glow of a nearby lamp cast a warm light around the room, creating a calm atmosphere. 

Jimin has his arm wrapped around Rain's shoulders, pulling her close, their fingers intertwined as they settled into the comforting silence. The faint sound of laughter and chatter from outside filtered through the window, but in this little bubble, it was just the two of them, wrapped in each other's warmth, feeling as though they could stay like this forever.

'You know, I could stay like this forever' Rain says, closing her eyes as she lets herself rest on Jimin's chest.

Jimin chucks 'You say that now, but still you elbow me every night when I try to have just a small part of the blanket' 

Rain smiles, still with her eyes closed.

'so... guess what I found out yesterday' he says

Rain lifted her head, curiosity dancing in her eyes. 'hmm?'

Jimin took a deep breath, the playful atmosphere shifting slightly. 'It's about Taehyung and Jungkook'

Rain raised an eyebrow, her interest piqued. 'What about them?'

'I hate to admit it, but I was wrong about Jungkook. I mean, I guess I was, since...... they got intimate,' Jimin confessed, his voice barely above a whisper.

Rain's eyes widened, her initial shock quickly morphing into a teasing grin. 'Oh, wow! I did not see that coming!'

'That's what she said,' Jimin joked, earning a playful roll of the eyes from Rain. 'Continue,' she urged, eager to learn more about this surprising turn of events.

Taehyung had always been so careful not to let anyone get too close to him intimately. He preferred to sleep with people he knew he could cut off easily afterward or those he didn't know before they met.

Hearing that he got intimate with Jungkook was surprising, to say the least. Rain had really grown to like Jungkook, and she knew how much Jimin liked him as well—so there was an obvious fear that Taehyung might cut Jungkook out of their lives.

Filling Rain on the details he heard from the barista, he concludes 

'I think they need to confront this head-on. They both keep avoiding each other for the past week....  So, I was thinking... what if we arrange a group outing? lets just force them to face each other'

Rain's eyes sparkled with mischief as the two of them quickly brainstormed, laughing and throwing around ideas for the outing. Their playful banter filled the room, the atmosphere lightening as they plotted how to bring their friends together, but also how to make this whole situation a lot more funny than it actually was.

Both of them liked to prank their friends, and for them this wasn't as serious as it might be for the barista and the younger, both Jimin and Rain didn't know how much impact that little prank would have on the group's dynamic.

As they finished discussing the details, they both burst into laughter, their shared excitement radiating in the cozy space. Jimin felt grateful just for Rain's partnership, the person she is for him. he really couldn't have asked for a better friend and a better girl-friend.

In the meantime, Jungkook sat on the floor of his apartment, a toy in his hand as Bam bounded around him, playfully tugged at the plush toy, his tail wagging with excitement. Jungkook couldn't help but smile as he watched Bam, the simple joy of their time together lifting his spirits.

However, as he threw the toy across the room and Bam darted after it, Jungkook's mind drifted. Last night with Gemma took over his thoughts, how they had fallen back into a familiar rhythm but there was a notable absence of the thrill he felt with Taehyung.
