Misidentified [BTS Jimin Fanfic]

Chapter 8 - All is Fair in Love and War

Ariana's POV

The lights went on but the dazed expression on my face never changed. My widened eyes stayed the same even if I can feel all of them staring at us. I couldn't move, I was frozen.

"Ehem." Jimin coughed purposely loud. That's when I snapped out of shock and felt my entire body temperature rise up my ears. I hate it when I get flustered! Instead of my cheeks, my ears absorb the heat.

"Yah, Jeon Jungkook! What do you think you're doing?" Jimin shouted.

Woah. If looks were weapons, Jimin's stare would be the cause of Jungkook's death.

My ears reddened even more with his furious remark. But the reasons of the crimson shade's existence increased as I only realized now that Jungkook still had his head on my shoulder.

"Shh. I have to rest." Jungkook said calmly. What- Why- What is happenin-

I looked towards the guys direction to see their reactions. Unfortunately, even they don't know what's happening.

My curious eyes were greeted with five jaw drops and one glare, all directed to this guy who treated my shoulder as his own personal pillow.

"Jeon Jungkook!" Jimin shouted once again, tone getting angrier by each passing minute.

I flinched at this new side of his. Unlike me, Jungkook attempted to stay calm as he let out a long, lazy breath.

Jimin was fuming. He looked as if he was about to scream when Namjoon saved us from his upcoming wrath.
"Jungkook-ah, get up and explain. Now." he said seriously.

"Why, hyung?" Jungkook asked with a hint of boredom. "For what valid reason would you wake me up? I was sleeping soundly and is woken up to be shouted at?" he continued with an amused yet irritated chuckle.

Namjoon ignored the sort of rude response and instead, bombarded him with his thoughts and curiosities.

"Where were you? You disappeared a while back at the park and now you pop up here? Worse, you showed up in an unpleasing stance." Namjoon replied with furrowed eyebrows.

The stressed leader made eye contact with the members but none of them were speaking. All except Jimin were having a staring contest with the dark theatre carpet.

Silence.

Until...

"Y-yeah!" Taehyung suddenly said, agreeing with Namjoon's recent statement.

Okay. I tried my best not to chuckle at that hilariously random comment, but my face couldn't avoid expressing how funny that was.

Apparently, my laugh was contagious enough to trigger reactions from the other members. I caught them holding in their laughter just like how a balloon would tighten up to hold helium.

My golly, that only made me laugh more! Just try imagining Bangtan forcing a serious face, but failing when the sides of their lips start twitching into smiles.

Boom!

Laughter everywhere.

Only two people were unfazed. Unlike the good vibes shared between the other members and I, tension surrounded Jimin and Jungkook.

"Jeon Jungkook, just answer the question." Jimin said in a deep voice pertaining that he's serious.

"I wanted to go somewhere quiet. To think." the maknae shrugged.

"Wow, I never knew that the definition of 'a quiet place' is on Ana's shoulder." Jimin spat out bitterly with every word coated with sarcasm.

"Yeah. At least I noticed that about her. She's like the Han River. A calm and serene paradise on earth. Maybe that's why my feet brought me to her. She's my special place." Jungkook narrated as he slowly looked at me with a loving gaze. "You never noticed that, have you, hyung?" he continued as he smirked at a fuming Jimin.

That's when I felt goosebumps out of fear. Okay, a fight's going down within these theatre walls.

Jimin's POV

We drove Ana home earlier than planned. After the messy and conplicated situation at the theatre, I made sure Ana got away from me before seeing my raging form. I can't believe it's getting the best of me. Again.

It's been such a long time since my angry side surfaced. The last time was when I got my stuffed bear stolen from me. And that was nearly 10 years ago.

The members and I bid our goodbyes to her in an apologetic manner. "I'm sorry this didn't turn out so well." I spoke, embarassment and repentance evident in my tone.

She let out a reassuring smile. "It's fine. I mean, who ever had a perfect first date?" she tried to be optimistic.

"I'm really sorry, I'll make it up to you. I swear-" she cut me off when she tapped my shoulder.

I swallowed nervously.

"If firsts are perfect, what's a second for?" she uttered calmly.

If firsts are perfect, what's a second for? Yeah.

That made me feel better. "True." I said as a matter-of-factly. "Have a good rest, Ana." I smiled sweetly.

"You too, Jimin." she replied back before stepping out of the van and into her building.

…

The ride to the dorm was a long and quiet one. No one dared to speak until we finally arrived at the dorm. Everyone just sat at the couch, still keeping their mouths zipped.

I was about to say something when Seokjin hyung spoke first. "Namjoon, Yoongi, Hoseok, Taehyung and I will cook our dinner in the kitchen. You two talk." he said, eyeing each member he mentioned.

Taehyung looked at him with a weird look. "Me? Cook? How-"

"In. The. Kitchen." Jin uttered as he emphasized each word.

The 5 went to the kitchen without questioning what's happening. That leaves Jungkook and I alone in the living room.

"Why did you do it?" I broke the silence.

"Why can't I?" he asked back.

"Jeon Jungkook! Answer me properly!" I shouted sounding really annoyed.

"You wanna know?" he asked with a smirk. "I like her." he continued.

What?

"You like her?" I asked to confirm what I heard.

"Yeah." he said bluntly. "I know you like her, hyung. And believe me, I tried to stop my feelings because I know the bro code by heart. Considering that we're more than brothers, I hated myself when I finally admitted that I really like her. It's something unstoppable-" he narrated with a dreamy expression.

"How could you?" I was hurt. He knew I called dibs on her, but he still-

"How could I?" he asked in an exaggerated tone, meaning he's annoyed.

He stepped closer, towering over my short stature. "I will. I can. You know why? Because she's not yours."

It's like my teddy bear all over again.
Except this time, I'll make sure I won't lose her. I won't lose Ana.

I stood there completely pissed but I can't move. "I'm sorry, Jiminnie. This isn't something I can easily give up for you. Since she's not yours, I take it that I'm playing a fair game." he said before walking away.

I was speechless. Yes, Ana isn't mine. Yet. But I will fight for her. Fair and square. I had a feeling others would chase after her since she's an extraordinary catch, I just didn't think my competitor is one I considered family.

Jungkook stopped in his tracks when he reached a position just next to my ear. "Oh, and hyung, happy birthday."
