4:

After lying down for a while Jimin felt a lot better and his fever dropped down to a somewhat normal temperature.

Since he still had some time until the first bell, he decided to listen to some music. And remembering Taemin's smooth turns, he felt the sudden urge to dance.

He put his earphones in and naturally got up. He fell deep into the music and his body moved along effortlessly and slightly clumsily.

He was so immersed into the music and dancing along, he didn't hear the door open.

Jimin twirled on his heel, and as he was turning he saw a figure leaning against the door. He messily finished the turn, stumbling to find his feet, and quickly looked back to see Taehyung laughing.

"What are you doing here?" Jimin asked, blushing and taking his earphones out.

"Ah sorry, I just wanted to check up on you, but you seem just fine?" Taehyung raised an eyebrow at the latter.

"Y-ya I feel a lot better. Thanks" Jimin said looking everywhere but at Taehyung.

"Mhmm. Your dancing is truly beautiful, you know that? Honestly, I've never seen anything like it" Taehyung chuckled, his words catching the latter by surprise.

Before Jimin could even think to respond the first bell rang. 

"Walk with me to class? My class is on the way to yours" Taehyung said with his box smile.

"Ok" Jimin said returning the gesture.

They were walking to class and noticed a group of kids recording something with their phones surrounding the classroom labeled '2A".

"What's going on?" Jimin asked slightly scared.

"Something that happens all the time, but I didn't think they would start so early into the school year" Taehyung sighed, internally face palming.

When they approached the class, Taehyung made a path for himself and Jimin to enter the class.

"Taehyung, this isn't my classroom" Jimin said confused.

"Mhm, this isn't my class either, it's a freshman class actually, but you might as well see this now to know what all the 'drama' is about" he chuckled, pointing to the center of the room.

Jimin looked to the center to see two sides. He saw that the three students on the left were Jungkook, Lisa, and Yugyeom and on the opposite side stood Ten, Chungha, and Bambam.

"Yah! We only have 30 minutes before class, so make this quick. Same as always!" Hoseok yelled sitting on top of table.

"Heads or tails?" Taehyung cut in asking Jungkook, Jimin still standing next to him still confused as to what was going on.

"I'll take head any day" Jungkook winked. Lisa shook her head and Yugyeom looked embarrassed. Taehyung sighed at his foolishness and flipped the coin.

"It's heads, kid. Do you want to go first or second?" he said.

"We'll go second, save the best for last, am I right" Jungkook replied, sending a playful look at the opposing group, but on the other hand the girls from each team sent nasty glares at each other.

"Either way you're going to lose" Ten shot back unamused by the latter's witty remarks.

Ten's group lined up to where Chungha stood in the center and the two boys stood at her sides. Music started playing and they broke into their choreography.

The students that had crowded the classroom were cheering and screaming seeing the top dance students dancing in unison. They quickly wrapped up their dance and the opposing group looked unimpressed.

"Really? That's it? That's what you guys have been working on?" Lisa mocked as she walked towards the center of the room, shooing them away, with Jungkook and Yugyeom following behind her.

"Oh don't hate us cause you can't be us Lisa, it's so annoying hearing you always complain" Chungha hissed and flipped her hair walking away from Lisa, who just rolled her eyes. 

"Let's show them what real dancers look like" Yugyeom uttered, while getting into position.

When they started dancing, Jimin was taken by surprise to see their clean, sharp, and energetic movements in sync.

Jimin hadn't taken them that seriously, but seeing them dance so passionately really changed his opinion, and he was impressed to see how talented and skilled they were.

The music came to an end, and so did their dancing. They held their ending poses for a bit before doing some freestyle dances, giddy at their yet to be stated victory. Immediately, there was an uproar among the students, they were cheering and clapping ecstatically.

"Alright alright! I think we can clearly tell by the response that the idiot trio won this one" Hoseok yelled over all the noise.

The idiot trio excitedly jumped up and down in a huddle, joyous at their victory. Chungha and Ten solemnly set up their desks and sat down quietly in defeat, as for Bambam, he went straight for his phone. He didn't seem to care for much anything other than the world behind his phone screen.

The crowd of students began to disperse, people making their way to their classes, and Jimin was still in awe, until Hoseok came up to them.

"Oh glad that you got to see that! How was it?" Hoseok asked Jimin.

"That was so amazing!" Jimin said glancing at Taehyung who didn't seem to agree.

"Ya well it would be cool if they didn't do this so often moreover first thing in the morning. And in class? Come on" he yawned. Jungkook came up to them with a wide grin and gave Taehyung a bear hug.

"Hyunggg, how did I do today?" Jungkook asked looking up from Taehyung's chest. Taehyung sighed, but showed a small smile and patted his head as if he were a dog.

"You did pretty good actually" he said, which made Jungkook visibly very happy, as he wiggled while still embracing the older.

Jimin looked at this and thought Jungkook was an adorable little boy asking for his big brother's approval. Jungkook detached himself from the older and saw Jimin with his cute smile.

"Aw hyung let me give you a hug too! You're so adorable and sma-" Jungkook went to hug Jimin, but Taehyung stepped in front of him receiving the hug.

"Alright Jimin you'd better get going, class is starting soon" Taehyung winked at Jimin while swaying side to side, still hugging the younger boy. Jungkook just giggled and squealed, speaking nonsense to his hyung.

"Ah you're right, I'll see you guys later" Jimin said before exiting the classroom making his way to his class. On the way to class, Jimin thought of how cute Taehyung was trying to protect him from being touched. 

At Jimin's previous school, he hated class, but he was much more engaged at this new school. Jimin felt that he was in a better environment and he was actually interested in the curriculum. Lectures had ended and lunch rolled around.

Jimin extended his arms upward and yawned. Students around him were all exiting the class to go to the cafeteria. As Jimin was walking out of his classroom, he bumped into a firm structure. He gazed upward to see Jungkook and next to him was Taehyung.

"Lets go to lunch! Umm...can we link arms?" Jungkook asked, after being informed of his claustrophobia, voice hopeful for approval.

"Haha sure" Jimin chuckled, linking arms with the now joyful Jungkook. Jimin felt another arm link to his free arm. He looked over to see that Taehyung had linked their arms together.

Jimin just laughed at both of their behaviors, as they were so childish and innocent. They continued to stroll to the cafeteria, arms linked, and faces plastered with wide grins.
