BTS Imagines and Short Stories

10 - Taehyung vs Jimin

"Y/N! Over here!"
You turned to the direction of Taehyung's voice, who was motioning for you to come over. You walked over and returned his big smile, placing your lunch on the table and sitting next to him.
"Hey V," You grinned, as he stole one of your chips.
"And hi Jimin," You also greeted your other friend. Kim Taehyung and Park Jimin - two of your best friends. Jimin smiled at you, as he also grabbed a chip from your plate.
"Guys.." You whined playfully, pretending to be annoyed. They both just laughed and high fived each other as you rolled your eyes at them. You couldn't be mad at them for anything; they were the sweetest, kindest, funniest people, not to mention extremely handsome as well!
Your heart skipped a beat as you looked over at Taehyung, his big rectangular grin making you smile as well. His glossy brown hair flopping over his forehead, and his big brown eyes that captivated you. Yes, you did like him more than a friend, and had done for a while, but hadn't told him or shown any signs of it; you were worried he didn't feel the same.
"Am I that handsome, Y/N?" Taehyung wiggled his eyebrows, causing you to blush.
"N-no!" You stuttered, earning a laugh from him. He was about to say some else when Jimin interrupted, "let's just go! It's almost time for lesson."
You looked at Jimin and thanked him with a grateful smile, and he just gave a small smile back before looking away as you three left for your next lesson.

The three of you sat at the back of the classroom together.
"This is so boring!" Taehyung whispered, and you nodded in agreement. It really was.
"Prom's coming up soon!" Jimin said, and Taehyung smirked. "I forgot about that."
"Bet you can't get a date," Jimin sniggered, and Taehyung just grinned. "I already have one."
"What!" You exclaimed.

"Is there a problem back there?"
You shook my head. "No Sir, sorry."
"You have a date?" You hissed at Taehyung, who nodded.
"Hey Jinhee!" He whispered, causing the girl in front of us to turn around.
"You're still my date to prom, right?"
She smiled and nodded. Of course, she's really pretty and kind. He would pick her.
Taehyung sank back in his chair, winking at Jimin who was looking at him with wide eyes. You tore your gaze from him and glared at the front of the classroom, because you knew if you looked at him tears would fall any moment.
"Who's your date then?" Taehyung nudged you, and you shook your head, muttering,"I don't have one."
"Really?!" He sat up in his chair. "If you'd have said so I would have taken you! Really, Y/N..."
That brought a smile to your face. Maybe there is a chance after all?
"Go with me Y/N!" Jimin blurted out, and we both looked at him. "If you want..." His gaze dropped to the floor, but you smiled at him.
"Thanks Jimin, of course I will."
His friendly smile returned and you three paid attention to the teacher once again. Maybe, Taehyung did have feelings for you...? Let's just hope...

~Prom Night~

"I'll go get us drinks," Jimin smiled at you, and you nodded, sitting at a table. He looked really handsome you had to admit, with his hair parted and a smart black tuxedo with a silvery grey bow tie that matched your silvery grey prom gown. You looked around at couples and groups of friends dancing, but there was no sign of Taehyung.
"Y/N!"
"Tae! I was just thinking about you!" You grinned at him as he sat next to you. He also looked breathtakingly handsome, his hair gelled slightly to the side, with a black tux and pale blue bow tie. You bit your lip, stopping yourself from telling him how you feel. Maybe you should?
"I have something to tell you." He mumbled.
You looked up at him, into his eyes which were looking right at you. He clasped your hand and you gasped, you could feel yourself blushing.
"This may sound strange but... You caught my eye ever since I first saw you, but only now have I plucked up the courage to tell you how I actually feel. When I hear someone else making  you laugh, it makes me realise how much I want to be in their place. I want to be the one to make you laugh, to put a smile on your face. I want to be the one to hug you, to hold your hand. I... Want to be your boyfriend. Because you look absolutely gorgeous tonight, and you do everyday, no matter what - you're beautiful inside and out. Will you be my girlfriend?"
You were speechless. You opened your mouth to say something, as he watched you intently.
"Tae, that was beautiful, I would love-"
"Thank you Y/N! So it sounds good?" He interrupted with a big grin. What?
"Yes it was lovely-"
"Great! Sorry to disturb you, I just wanted to see your reaction and see if you approve before I go say that to Jinhee..." He blushed, looking at the table and fiddling with the napkin.
Your heart sank, and you could feel a lump in your throat. You actually thought....
"It-it was perfect. She'll definitely say yes... Any girl would," You whisper, and Taehyung smiled. "Thank you Y/N!" He hugged you quickly as he got up, saying, "Wish me luck!"
"Good luck Tae..." You finally let the tears fall, it didn't matter if it ruined your makeup. You wanted to leave right now anyway. Standing up, you turned around and stopped.

Jimin stood there, holding two drinks. From the look on his face you knew he'd witnessed everything. He sighed, placing the drinks on the table, and wrapped his arms around you, pulling you into his embrace. You rested your head on his chest and sobbed for a few minutes, as he held you close to him and rubbed your back. After a few minutes you let go.
"I'm sorry Jimin, you don't have to deal with this, I'll just go."
He wiped your tears and cupped your face. You looked up into his chocolate eyes. "Y/N... Please stay. Stay with me... Forever," He gently pressed his lips to yours - a short and sweet kiss. He placed a hand on your waist and intertwined his other hand with yours. "May I have this dance?"
You smiled slightly, and placed your free hand on his shoulder, as you both swayed in time to the gentle melody. You stayed like that most of the night, in Jimin's arms, safe and secure. Maybe you were never meant to be Taehyung's Princess. Maybe, all along, you were supposed to be Jimin's Princess... It's just taken you long enough to realise.

In the opposite side of the venue, Taehyung was watching you both. He had Jinhee in his arms, who had accepted to be his girlfriend. But he couldn't stop staring at you and Jimin. He finally tore his gaze away, and concentrated on Jinhee in front of him. He knew he could grow to love her, in the future. She was a kind and pretty girl. But she would never be you. Because he had lied, he had made out as if he didn't reciprocate your feelings.. But he did. He also knew Jimin loved you, and he would do anything for his friend... Even if it meant letting go of the girl he loved himself. He sighed, looking at you smiling at Jimin; he knew inside that Jimin would take care of you. Looking at your face for the last time, he whispered, I'm sorry Y/N...
