Chapter 27

Jimin's POV:

He looked so cute eating that ice cream, but snapping out of my thoughts, I said, "Jk, we need to talk." Jk replied, "Why?" I said, "Jungkook I just want to talk." He nodded, "Okay."

"Jihyun, you go to your room," Jk told him, and Jihyun left.

Jk turned to me, saying, "Yes, love, tell me what you want to talk about," and kissed my cheek.

I said, "You seem so busy these days that you don’t even have time for me."

Jk replied, "It's not like that. It’s just that they asked me first, and I’ve been declining their plans for days, so I finally agreed. You, of all people, should understand that."

I just stared at him without saying anything.

He continued, "I didn’t explain it earlier because I was afraid you might break up with me. But you know how much I love you," and he started kissing me gently on my neck.

I said, "JK, why don’t we ever go on dates or outings?"

He replied, "I prefer spending alone time with you over going out."

I gave him a sad smile, and he said, "Don’t be so sad all the time, babe. Is Suga-hyung in your room?"

I said, "Yeah."

He asked, "The terrace?"

I shook my head, "No."

We stood silently for a while, and then, breaking the silence, I said, "I want to smoke."

He asked, "Why?"

I replied, "I just do. Shall we go to your balcony?"

He said, "What will Jihyun think? No, maybe some other day."

I said, "Seriously, Jk? You don’t go out with me, don’t spend time with me, and now not even this? I even gave you movie tickets, but still, nothing. If you don’t like me, just say it."

And with that, I started crying.

"Baby, it’s not like that," he said, cupping my cheeks with his hands. "Why do you cry over everything?"

I glared at him and began to walk away.

"Jimin, listen!" he called out. "Fine, let’s go out this weekend."

Hearing that made me happy, and I agreed. We headed to the lift together.

As soon as we entered the lift, it was empty. Both of us stood silently, holding hands, and Jk had his arms wrapped around me from behind. As the lift doors closed, Jk started hugging me tightly from behind, kissing my neck while sliding one hand under my t-shirt to caress my waist.

He turned me around to face him and was about to kiss me when the lift stopped at our floor.

When the doors opened, there were several people standing outside, and I felt so embarrassed that I couldn’t even make eye contact with anyone.

We quietly walked out of the lift and headed toward our respective rooms. Jk said, "I love you and good night."

I just nodded and kissed both his cheeks. He stood outside my room, holding me, while I said, "Okay, I’m going to my room now."

He quickly said, "Oh, right, baby. Somi is coming tomorrow. Will you come with me to meet her?"

I asked, "Why is she coming?"

He replied, "Oh, I forgot to tell you Jihyun is Somi’s cousin, so she’s coming to meet him

I simply reply to him NO

But Jk being Jk, he convinced me anyway. Though, to be honest, I wanted to spend time with him weather it's somi or anyone else.

Next day

The three of us were sitting in the café because Jihyun wanted to ask me something, so he sat right next to me. There were four chairs: Jk sat alone on one side, and Jihyun and I sat on the other.

Jihyun was busy talking to me when I noticed Somi walking in. She waved, and I saw she was wearing a black denim short skirt with an off-shoulder top and boots. Meanwhile, I was just sitting there in shorts and a t-shirt, and seeing her so dressed up made me feel a bit insecure.

She came over and sat down guess where? Right next to Jk. Jk looked at her and said, "You look great."

I just smiled faintly.

Somi said, "Jihyun, you’ve met Jimin, right? How was it meeting him?"

Jihyun replied, "Oh, Jimin hyung is so cute. That’s why I’m sitting next to him."

Hearing that, Jk glared at Jihyun and said, "Jihyun, she’s your cousin, right? Why don’t you sit over here and talk to her?"

Jk and Jihyun switched seats, and for the first time, I saw Jk being jealous.

Oh my, someone is jealous. A naughty smile appeared on my lips.

Jk frowned at me, and I just shook my head, looking down to hide my smile.

We were all sitting in the café, and Somi and Jihyun had already placed their orders. Now it was my and Jk’s turn to order. I ordered two dark choco frappes and two peanut avocado sandwiches because that was our usual order.

I glanced at Jk, and he just nodded in agreement.

Then Somi suddenly asked, "Jimin, why did you order peanut sandwiches?"

I was a bit confused by her question and replied, "To eat, of course."

She then said, "Don’t you know that Jk doesn’t like peanuts?"

I looked at Jk in confusion, and he was looking at me innocently.

I told Somi, "He never told me that."

Somi, showing her authority, said, "Oh, I’ve been with him since our teenage years. I know what he likes and doesn’t like. He always makes a face when it comes to peanuts!"

Hearing that made me feel a little bad, but I just gave a sad smile, nodded, and looked down at my feet.

Jk placed his hand on mine and gave it a reassuring squeeze.

Our orders arrived, but I didn’t let Jk eat the sandwich, even though he insisted a lot.

We spent time there talking. Somi kept sharing stories about her and Jihyun’s childhood or things about her and Jk. Listening to her made me feel bad at times, but I just smiled and stayed quiet.

After we finished our meal, Somi said to Jk "Oh, by the way, you're coming to RD's farewell party this weekend, right?" Jk nodded, and I just kept staring at him.

It seemed like he had completely forgotten that he promised me we’d go on a date this weekend. So, I said, "No, Somi, he’s not coming."

Jk, Somi, and Jihyun all looked at me questioningly.

I added, "Jk, you promised me that we’d go on a date this weekend. You’ve been saying no to me repeatedly, but not this time."

Hearing that, everyone went silent.

After a moment, Somi said, "Why don’t you come to the party too? You two can leave for your date after that."

I replied, "No, I don’t do parties."

Jk then said, "You don’t have to enjoy the party. Just come with me. You’ll like it."

I insisted, "No, I’m an introvert. I’m not into parties. Please, let me just go alone."

But they kept insisting that I come to the party, and in the end, I had to agree.

Still, I don’t know why, but deep down, I don’t feel like going.
