Badass In Love(COMPLETED)

PART 14 (Bully)

The following morning at college, the sun streamed through the tall windows of the campus building, filling the hallways with light. Y/N felt a mix of excitement and nerves as she walked through the bustling corridors, her thoughts still lingering on her intimate moment with Taehyung the night before.

As she approached her locker, she spotted Jungkook and Jimin leaning against the wall, chatting animatedly. Their laughter echoed through the hallway, a welcome sound that pulled her from her thoughts. She approached them, her heart lightening at the sight of her friends.

"Hey! You guys ready for class?" Y/N greeted, flashing a bright smile.

Jimin turned to her, his expression playful. "Ready as we'll ever be. You know, we were just talking about you."

Y/N raised an eyebrow, curiosity piqued. "Oh? What about me?"

Jungkook smirked, nudging Jimin with his shoulder. "We were discussing your recent development with Taehyung. Any progress?"

Y/N felt her cheeks flush at their teasing. "Progress? What do you mean?"

Jimin leaned in closer, his eyes sparkling with mischief. "Come on, we want the juicy details! Have you two...?"

"Have you kissed yet?" Jungkook chimed in, his grin widening.

Y/N bit her lip, a smile creeping onto her face despite her attempt to play it cool. "Well, not exactly..."

Jimin let out a dramatic gasp. "What? You mean you've spent all that time together and no kiss?"

Y/N shrugged, trying to act nonchalant. "It's complicated, okay? We're figuring things out."

"Figuring things out? That sounds like a fancy way of saying you're too shy to make a move," Jungkook teased, crossing his arms.

"Hey! It's not that simple," Y/N protested, her heart racing at the thought of Taehyung. "We had a really good talk last night, and things are... different now."

"Different how?" Jimin pressed, his expression serious now, sensing the shift in her tone.

She took a breath, glancing around to make sure no one was eavesdropping before she continued. "I think we're both just... taking our time, you know? We've both been through a lot."

Jungkook nodded, his playful demeanor shifting to something more understanding. "That makes sense. Relationships can be complicated, especially when feelings are involved."

Y/N smiled, grateful for their support. "Exactly. But I feel like we're getting there."

Just then, the bell rang, signaling the start of class. Y/N felt a flutter of nerves in her stomach as she headed toward the lecture hall. She couldn't shake the feeling that today might be different.

The cafeteria buzzed with noise as students gathered for lunch, laughter and chatter filling the air. Y/N sat at a table with Jungkook and Jimin, sharing stories and enjoying their meals. Suddenly, Y/N noticed a commotion at the table across the room. Mina, a girl known for her sharp tongue and even sharper fists, was leaning over Jungkook, her voice dripping with disdain.

"Why are you even here, Jungkook? You think you can hang out with these losers?" she sneered, her friends snickering beside her.

Y/N felt her blood boil. Jungkook, usually unbothered by taunts, seemed uncomfortable, his eyes downcast. The protective instinct within Y/N kicked in, and she stood up, fists clenched.
