Like a Butterfly (Jin x Reader)

Skinny Love

The high school life I'm living right now is definitely not what little old middle school me had pictured over a year ago. Not exactly the rose colored dream you always see in the movies and TV shows (that I desperately wanted), but never ending dullness. However, in the midst of the horribly boring lectures and ridiculous amounts of homework, there was one ray of sunshine who managed to squirm through the army of gray storm clouds, no matter what petty thing was bothering me.

"(Y/N)! Are we going to sit together today?" Speak of the devil. As soon as the lunch bell rang, he was always there on time, waiting for me. None other than Kim Seokjin.

"Hey you. And of course stupid, we always do." Why does he bother asking such obvious things? I always greeted him the same way when he walked with me to the cafeteria. I smile and throw a little complimentary sarcasm in there, too. Go figure, me...

"Today's Eat Jin is..." Jin began to tap on the lunch table repeatedly, trying to make a drum roll sound effect. "Fried chicken!" The way he smiled back at me as his cheeks were puffy with food just made me think about what it was that I did to deserve such a sunshine child for a friend. And the hilarious fact that he looked like a chipmunk. I just jokingly shook my head and began eating my store bought lunch. This was one of the many things about my best friend that I found adorably stupid. We were in our own little world whenever we were together, and I wouldn't trade the feeling for anything. I loved being near him.

Let me just give you a little back-story on this lovable idiot. Well, A LOT of back-story. We go way back, and there's a lot to say about Jin. We met back in middle school, and we've been friends ever since. He was the typical shy kid who always sat alone at lunch. The "nerd" if you will. Well... let's just say whoever labeled him that was right on the money. He is quite the oddball, but so am I, which eventually led up to me sitting next to him. He also wasn't super attractive as a 13 year old, which probably justifies the fact that nobody really gave him a chance. The glasses were a dead giveaway. Not that it really mattered, though, because I like glasses. Most kids in his situation would cry and feel small, but not him. No. He was smiling.

I honestly didn't think we would hit it off, but me being interested, I gave it my best shot. God is good all the time, so we miraculously got along. I couldn't grasp why I was so interested, but that kid just had this aura around him that intrigued me. Let's just pretend that the conversation that joined us together wasn't about Mario. He was a slut for Mario. Yes, the Italian plumber who rides a green dinosaur, collects coins, and rocks a mustache. That Mario. Luck was on our side and we also coincidentally ended up in the same high. You're also probably wondering what "Eat Jin" is, so I might as well clarify. Jin always loved food, so he created a little "show" of his own. It's content, you may ask? You guessed it. Nothing but him eating a different meal every episode. Every lunch period was another quirky installment. I am proud to say that I have seen so many Eat Jin episodes that I've lost count. That is what I call commitment.
