Step Step

nine;

TWICE and BTS has been avoiding each other after what had happened and they swear it drives them crazy not to talk whenever they bump into each other behind the stage.

Jimin already get back his hoodie and both groups already know the full story. They know what happened to Mina because Sana secretly tells Bangtan through kakaotalk and the person that is so affected with this are no other than Jimin and Jungkook. But of course Jimin is the most affected.

Jimin can only stare her from far away and it feels like they're back to zero. They just started talking weeks ago but then, now they're back to being strangers. He feels so hurt when Sana tells Bangtan how Mina cries in her room because of she is scared what might happen to her future.

While Jungkook, he is so frustrated because now he can't even talk or interact with Tzuyu because the managers from both groups always keep their eyes on them.

Few weeks has passed and both groups are at the end of their promotion for current comeback.

Cheer Up and Fire manages to blow up the music charts like what have been expected. They feel happy and sad at the same time. It means that there is no more excuse to accidentally bump into each other.

Mina and Jimin both have been trying avoid each other obviously not wanting to cause any more trouble.

-----

It's been few months after the last comeback. Now both groups are preparing to meet their fans with new songs and more surprising concept.

In the middle of preparing their comebacks, they still have some time to have their own rest and spending time with their friends and family.

Bangtan and TWICE don't even know that their upcoming comeback going to clash once again. It's the company plan after all.

Jungkook grabs his mask and putting on a jacket to keep himself warm. He's ready to leave the dorm but then Jin stops him and starts asking question. "Ya ya ya Jungkook. Where are you going?", Jin asks like a mum while munching his self made sandwich.

"JYP. I'm going to play bowling with Yugyeom so I will go there to fetch him first.", he explains while fixing his shoes and put it on

Jin just nods but then they hear Jimin's voice shout "Waittt!", all the way from his bedroom.

Jungkook frowns. "What is it?!", he shouts back.

"I want to tag along! I need to meet Jaebum hyung!", he appears with a grin. Already ready with a hoodie, cap and mask. He looks like he has been waiting for this moment.

Jungkook just nod and asks Jimin to hurry.

Jin frowns at both of them "Ya! Are you going to leave me alone at dorm? Others are at BigHit though!", the oldest one looks unsatisfied.

The dongsaeng nod their head and get ready to leave, leaving their hyung alone. "I'm going to hang out with Jaehwan then! Byeeee!", he waves them goodbye.

"Why are suddenly want to meet Jaebum hyung?", Jungkook asks when they're already in the taxi, on the way to JYP company.

Jimin just shrugs his shoulders. He himself don't know the answer. "Are you sure he's there?", Jungkook asks again.

Jimin nods. He already left a text message and Jaebum replies happily asking him to come anytime he wants.

They arrive at JYP building and thanks God there's no fans outside. Might be because of the cold temperature. Jungkook and Jimin walk in the building and head to 3rd floor, practise room. Yugyeom already says to Jungkook to come and wait for him at the practise room. Jimin just follow along, not wanting to get lost in this unfamiliar place.

They walk inside the practise room and see Yugyeom and Jackson are practising some dance routine with loud background music. The GOT7 members notices them and smile with a welcoming face.

"Yaaaaa Park Jimin!", Jackson runs to Jimin and hugs him. Jimin laughs shyly and hugs him back.

Jungkook decides to join Yugyeom doing the dance routine and it turns out they both have the best chemistry in dancing. Indeed from a maknae line.

Jackson drags Jimin to the couch and asks him to sit "Do you want anything? I have to treat you because you're our guests", Jackson teases Jimin. Jimin shakes his hands in front his face, saying he's fine and don't want anything.

"Is Jaebum hyung busy?", Jimin asks Jackson after the blonde guy switch off the music player so that they can talk without any loud music at the background. Jackson nods "He's quite busy lately. It's okay you can talk to me! I'm always free because your leader, Namjoon-shi won't hang out with me", Jackson says with a pouty face. Jimin and Jungkook laugh at him, Jackson is forever arguing with Namjoon.

The maknaes excuse themselves because they want to have fun playing bowling just only two of them at the outside.

After Jungkook and Yugyeom left, Jackson approaches Jimin who's busying himself with the phone.

"Jimin ah. Can I talk about something?", the goofy hyung suddenly starts talking with a serious face. "I know it's not my business but I still think I have to talk about this with you."

Jimin looks startle at first but just nod his head asking Jackson to continue his words "Do you like Mina? Our dongsaeng from TWICE?", Jackson asks very clearly.

There's a long beep sound inside Jimin's head. His mouth slightly open, shocks with the question.

Jackson grins when he sees how Jimin reacts. "Mianhae mianhae. I'm sorry to startle you like that. But I can help you, you know...", Jackson says while patting Jimin's back with friendly manner

"I can help you"

The words keep ringing in Jimin's mind.

"Ah ani hyung. It's rumour only", he replies, wanting to clear the misunderstanding but then he feels slightly regret inside.

Jackson nods with understand face.

Suddenly, the door of the practise room is opened from outside and there are two girls walking in the room.

"Mina! Momo!", Jackson stands and shouts their name excitedly.

Mina blink few times when she walks inside and sees Jimin is sitting on the couch in her company's building. She couldn't believe herself and wondering if she's dreaming.

Momo already walk at the music player and insert a CD. She don't want to waste any moment analysing the situation. All she wants to do is practising. She don't want to make things more awkward so she tries to act normal.

Mina and Jimin still steal glances at each other. Wondering if they're dreaming. Can't believe both of them are inside the same room and the place is not even at music shows but at JYP building.

"Oh by the way why are you guys using this practise room?", Jackson suddenly asks the girls manages to break the silence.

"It's for Hit The Stage. I'm going to collab with Mina", Momo replies politely.

Jimin swear his inner self is jumping like a kid inside. He really want to see her practising but then he realises it's going to make things hard for her since they're both still in awkward situation.

"Ah Jackson hyung. I'm going to leave first", Jimin pats Jackson's shoulder to grab his attention "I have to meet Jaebum hyung"

Jackson nods and smile to Jimin. Jimin walks out from the room and letting out a deep breath, feeling disappoint with the whole thing.

His mind don't follow what his heart wants.

Mina's eyes focus at the wide reflected mirror. She watches him excusing himself and walk out from the room. How she wish he will stay and look at her dancing and compliments her but of course it's not going to happen. She sighs and Momo only looks at her with concern face. As a friend, she knows well what's going inside Minari's mind.
