Chapter 9

Third person's P.O.V:

Jimin's mind was an absolute mess, and his cheeks still felt like they were on fire. He was supposed to be shopping with Taehyung and Hoseok, but he could barely focus. All he could think about was that moment on the court with Jungkook—the way he'd felt his heart race as he leaned up, felt Jungkook's warm skin under his lips, saw the surprise flash in Jungkook's eyes. What had he been thinking? He'd never done anything like that before, and now he was completely mortified.

A part of him wanted to believe it was no big deal, just a friendly gesture. But it hadn't felt that way. It had felt charged, almost like he'd crossed a line they'd never discussed. And now, he was kicking himself for running off before he could even gauge Jungkook's reaction. Did he look stunned? Happy? Angry?Maybe even… disappointed? The thought made his stomach twist uncomfortably.

He was so wrapped up in his thoughts, he barely noticed where he was going, his mind racing with a hundred different worries. Just as his imagination was spiraling out of control, he was jolted back to reality by Taehyung's voice.

"Jimin!" Taehyung called out, holding up a stylish jacket in his hand, eyes sparkling with excitement. "What do you think of this? Wouldn't it look amazing on me?"

Jimin blinked, focusing on the jacket and Taehyung's expectant grin. It took him a second to register the question as he tried to shake off the blush still lingering on his cheeks. "Oh, uh… yeah, Tae, it would," he stammered, giving a small smile.

Hoseok raised an eyebrow, noticing Jimin's distracted expression. "Okay, spill it, Minnie. You've been spaced out since we got here. Did something happen?" he asked, looking suspiciously at jimin.

Jimin hesitated, feeling his face warm up even more. "N-No, it's nothing," he mumbled, knowing full well that his friends wouldn't drop it that easily.

Taehyung smirked, stepping closer. "Come on, Jimin. You're blushing like crazy. Did something happen with Jungkook?"

Jimin felt his heart skip a beat at the mention of Jungkook's name. He couldn't hide from them, not his two closest friends who knew him like the back of their hands.;"I… I might have, um, k-kissed him on the cheek," he admitted, barely above a whisper, his face burning as he looked away.

Both Taehyung and Hoseok gasped, exchanging wide-eyed looks before breaking into matching grins.

"You did what?" Hobi exclaimed, grabbing Jimin's shoulders. "Oh my god, jimin! That's huge!"

Taehyung laughed, his eyes shining with excitement. "Our little Jiminie is making moves! How did he react?"

Jimin fidgeted, unsure what to say. "I… I don't know. He didn't really say anything. I just… I kind of ran off before I could even look at him." He sighed, feeling the embarrassment all over again. "And now I don't know what he's thinking. I mean, we're best friends. He probably just thinks it was weird, and now I've probably ruined everything." The words tumbled out, his worries spinning faster with each sentence.

Hobi chuckled, crossing his arms. "Minnie, you're just panicking for nothing. Jungkook could never think badly of you, no matter what. He'd literally go to the ends of the earth for you. Trust us—there's no way he's thinking anything negative about that kiss."

"Exactly," Taehyung added with a mischievous glint in his eye. "Besides, maybe it's time we figure out if Jungkook feels something more for you." He pointed toward a section of clothes with a knowing grin.

Jimin's eyes went wide as he stared at Taehyung. ''What… what are you talking about?"

"Don't you want to know how Jungkook really feels about you?" Taehyung asked, still grinning mischievously
