Falling for You (BTS Jimin Fanfiction)

Part 21

Hyun-Ae's POV:

"Jimin-hyung, what's that?" Jungkook asks, pointing to the koala as we get out of the car. 

Blushing, Jimin hastily tries to stuff the toy into his jacket, bundling it tighter around him when we walk into the boys' dorm. "Er... it's um..."

"A koala," I say. "I won it for him at the park!"

V laughs and teases him. "Ya, Jimin, aren't you supposed to win that for her?"

I join in, giggling. "He actually was trying to win me a giant stuffed mochi. But he's really bad at archery so... I won this for him instead. To thank him for his effort."

Jungkook and Hobi are clutching their stomachs, trying their best to silence their laughter for the sake of Jimin's pride, but their eyes are leaking tears with the effort. V pats Jimin's cheek affectionately before also bursting into laughter. Their expressions are hilarious and their moods contagious, so I can't help but suppress my laughter with a grin as well.

When we actually reach the door, I have to stop everyone before Hobi lets us in. "Wait," I say, holding my hands up. "We have to calm down. We can't just walk in there laughing like maniacs. Jimin... mianhae but your face is really red so you look kind of drunk..."

That only makes the boys howl louder. The maknae composes himself first. "Come on guys, I'm hungry," he whines. "Let's go inside," he adds, reaching for the keys.

We stumble inside to find Rap Monster, Jin, Yoongi, and... KYUNG-SHIN seated at the dining table.

"Ah look, perfect timing!" Jin exclaims, getting up. "Yoongi was just about to call you guys."

The rest of the boys take their seats, thanking Jin for cooking dinner. There's another chair left for me, so I'm seated between Kyung-Shin and Jimin. I try my best not to act awkward.

"What did you do today, Hyun-Ae?" Kyung-Shin asks, frowning slightly. "I called you earlier asking if you wanted to go out but you never picked up."

"Oh?" I check my phone and sure enough, several unread messages and call notifications appear on the screen. I must not have been paying attention while I was with Jimin and the others. "Sorry about that, Kyung-Shin! Hobi-oppa wanted to treat me to a day at the amusement park as repayment for a favor and I didn't check my phone all day..."

He smiles understandingly and nods. "Ah, I see. Did you guys have fun?"

Jungkook answers before I can, his words slightly garbled due to his stuffed mouth. "Oh loads. The lines for the rides were pretty short and noona even had time to win Jimin-hyung a koala!" 

Hobi and V stifle their snickers and Jimin blushes again. I scratch my neck awkwardly and reach across the table to grab the dish of kimbap. It's just out of reach, so Jimin hands it to me, careful not to let our fingers touch.

Kyung-Shin narrows his eyes slightly and bites his lip, looking at me questioningly. I shake my head, trying to wave his concerns away. Jimin and I are just friends. 

"What are you doing here, Kyung-Shin?" I ask, trying to get the conversation going again.

"Yoongi-hyung just wanted to catch up a little so he invited me over for dinner," he responds curtly, bringing his empty plate to the sink.

"That's fantastic!" J-Hope exclaims. "Let's play a game after dinner!"

"Ooh, truth or dare!" V says, eyes gleaming with excitement.

"Paranoia?" Jungkook suggests.

"Who can beat the Golden Maknae?" says Jimin.

I clear my throat, trying not to choke on my food.

"Kiss or slap!" Jin yells, letting his chopsticks hit his plate with a clatter for emphasis.

Namjoon sighs and Suga furrows his brows in a slight frown. The others grin. 

"Kiss or slap?" Kyung-Shin asks me. 

I shrug. "No idea."

"Come on come on!" Jungkook insists enthusiastically. "We'll explain the game now in the living room!"

"Ya Jungkookie, let your hyung finish eating first!" Jin protests.

Unfortunately for him, the other members have already finished their food, so together we drag him out of the dining room and into the living room to play Kiss or Slap.

"It's simple," V explains as we gather in a circle. He places a chopstick in the middle. "Whoever spins the chopstick has to leave the room. The group will vote to decide if the person the chopstick points to will have to kiss you or slap you. That person doesn't have a say in the decision."

"This sounds like an awful game," I say with a light laugh.

"Trust me, it is," Rap Monster mutters.

"Nonsense! It's very entertaining! Trust us, dongsaeng," Hobi says with an exaggerated wink.

"Hmm," is all Kyung-Shin says, casually sliding his fingers between my own. I blush, a heat that only intensifies when I make eye contact with the other members, Jimin looking away out of respect or embarrassment and Jungkook waggling his eyebrows. 

V settles into a cross-legged position, rubbing his hands together mischievously. "So, now that's settled... who wants to go first?"
