"Well, Jimin," she murmured, her voice low and teasing, "if you're lucky, maybe I'll let you move in... if you prove you're worthy of being my roommate."
Her smirk grew as she took a step back, watching the surprise flash across his face, his cheeks just barely tinged with pink. She tilted her head, feigning innocence.
Jimin's heart thudded, the unexpected smirk in her clearly throwing him off guard. Regaining his composure, he matched her smirk. "Oh, is that so? Guess I'll just have to make myself irresistible then, won't I?"
YN laughed softly, a spark of excitement in her eyes as she replied, "Good luck with that. I'll be watching."
As the evening deepened, Jimin and YN made their way to the car, the excitement of the day still buzzing between them. Jimin held the door open for her with a charming smile.
"Ladies first," he said, flashing a grin that made her heart race.
As they drove through the softly lit streets, Jimin kept stealing glances at her, his expression warm and playful. YN felt butterflies flutter in her stomach, and she tried to focus on the road ahead.
"Eyes on the road, Mr. Arrogant," she teased, breaking the silence.
Jimin chuckled, a lighthearted twinkle in his eye. "What can I say? You're just too distracting."
With that, he reached over, intertwining their fingers, holding her hand tightly. YN's heart skipped a beat as YN is trying to pull her hand away shyly. "Jimin, I-"
"Nope," he interrupted playfully, tightening his grip. "Not letting go."
As they approached her home, the tension between them was palpable. Jimin parked the car both got out.
he turned to her, gazing into her eyes as if trying to memorize every detail.
YN felt her heart race under his gaze, the shy warmth creeping back as she tried to distract herself.
"I should call Bora," she said, fumbling in her bag for her phone.
Before she could pull it out, Jimin stepped closer, wrapping her in a tight hug. The sudden warmth and safety of his embrace made her heart flutter. She instinctively hugged him back, both of them closing their eyes as they savoured the moment.
"Just... a little longer," he whispered, his breath warm against her hair.
From a distance, Bora watched the scene unfold, an amused grin spreading across her face. Slowly, she tiptoed closer, covering her eyes with her palms, her curiosity getting the best of her.
"Muffin...," she called softly, trying not to interrupt.
When YN didn't respond, Bora peeked through her fingers, then turned her attention to Jimin. "Jimin!" she said, poking him lightly in the side.
Both of them jumped, breaking the hug. Jimin held onto YN's hand, clearly not ready to let go.
"Hey! What are you doing here?" Bora asked, narrowing her eyes at Jimin playfully.
"I was just... uh, saying goodbye," Jimin replied, trying to play it cool but unable to hide the blush creeping up his cheeks.
Bora stepped closer, taking YN's hand from Jimin's grip. "If you leave your Muffin, I might just take her home myself," she teased, winking at YN.
Jimin's face flushed even more, and he released YN's hand reluctantly. "I guess I'll have to go," he said with a faux sigh, trying to play off his embarrassment.
"I mean, she is my Muffin now. Bye!" Bora said with a mischievous smile.
"Goodnight, Muffin," Jimin said, his eyes lingering on her.
YN turned back, feeling a mix of emotions as she smiled. "Goodnight!"
Bora turned, adding with a teasing tone, "Goodnight, Jimin!"

As YN and Bora began walking away, YN felt a thrill from the evening, her mind racing with thoughts of Jimin. "So, what did you think of Jimin?" Bora asked, elbowing her lightly.
"He's... he's amazing," YN replied, biting her lip to suppress a smile.
"Just amazing, huh? I saw how he looked at you," Bora teased, nudging her. "You're totally blushing!"
YN groaned, "Okay, okay! I can't help it! He just makes me feel..."
"Special?" Bora finished, grinning.
"Exactly," YN admitted, her heart fluttering at the memory of Jimin's hug.
As they reached home, they both knew they had to cover up their escapade. YN's parents were strict about her studies, and she could already hear their questions.
"Don't worry, I'll back you up," Bora said, sensing her apprehension.
With that, they entered the house. "Muffin! Is that you?" YN's mom called from the living room.
"Yes, Mom!" YN replied, trying to sound casual.
"What time do you think it is?" her father added, a hint of concern in his voice.
"I lost track of time while studying with friends," YN said, exchanging a knowing glance with Bora.
"Studying? It sounded more like fun to me," her mom replied, eyeing them suspiciously.
"Yeah, we were just working on our projects, aunty. We've got to keep our grades up!" Bora said quickly.
