Safe Haven (Seulmin)

Friends

Jimin's POV

Once we saw that the girls were out of our sight, I turned around and raised my eyebrow at Taehyung. A teasing smile formed on my lips as I watched him blush and look away.

' "Irene, I know. I didn't have the guts to introduce myself and I hope we can hang out" ' I quoted, laughing at his reaction.

"Shut up Park Jimin. What about you and Seulgi huh? What were you guys doing in there, locked up?" Taehyung questions, trying to change the subject.

"We-we talked, that's all," I said, slightly stuttering. Taehyung smirks at my answer and raises his eyebrows.

"Just talked huh? I don't believe that," Taehyung answered. I looked away and started heading to class, Taehyung following me and teasing me as we walked. Suddenly, we stop as we face the rest of my friends. Namjoon, Jin, Yoongi, Hoseok , and Jungkook stare at me with unreadable faces.

"What do you guys want?" I question coldly. They look at me and Namjoon sighs.

"Jimin, we're sorry about earlier. We really didn't mean to hurt her or anything. We just wanted to protect you. The girl doesn't have the best reputation at school and if you hang out with her, you might get bullied as well," Namjoon explains.

"I know you guys are worried about me, but I'll be fine. She needs me and I can't just leave her. Taehyung needs her too. She's friends with Irene," I added, earning a glare from Taehyung and a chuckle from everyone else.

"You really like her don't you?" Jungkook suddenly asked, catching me by surprise. I nod at his response, surprising myself and them. This is the first time that I was actually serious about a girl.

"Have you asked her out yet?" Jin asks, smirking at me.

"Not yet. I mean we have gone to places, but not official like boyfriend and girlfriend asking, you know?" I said, earning confused stares from everyone.

"And I thought Taehyung was the only person who said weird things," Yoongi mumbled, receiving a glare from both Taehyung and me.

"Guys, don't forget we have dance classes starting today. I wonder who else is in that class. How have you been feeling lately Jimin? Have you been taking your medication?" Jin questions, acting more like a mom than a friend.

"I'm fine guys. I haven't seen any symptoms in a while now. Anyway, why are dance classes starting now? It's been two weeks since school started" I reply.

"The dance studio just finished getting remodeled so all the students who signed up can finally take the class," Namjoon explained.

The bell rang and we all headed to the newly built studio. We all took a seat on the floor and our teacher soon came in. He took a look at us and then looked down at a sheet of paper.

"I think we're missing two students," he murmurs, looking at the clock. Suddenly, the door opens and two panting voices can be heard. I look up and my eyes widen. Irene and Seulgi signed up for this class too.

"We're really sorry that we're late. We got lost," Irene admitted, looking slightly embarrassed. They take a look at the class and froze as they catch our eyes.

"I'll let you go since it's the first day. Hurry up and find a seat," the teacher states. Seulgi sits in front of me while Irene follows her and sits in front of Taehyung. The teacher begins talking about the class and I take this opportunity to tap Seulgi on the shoulder.

"You never told me you danced," I said, slightly pouting.

"You never told me that you danced either and you didn't ask," she replies, looking at me with a smile. She turns around to pay attention to the teacher and soon we are asked to pair up. We have to choreograph a routine by the end of class and will have to perform it to see what level we are. The only people that actually signed up for this class was Irene, Seulgi, me, and my friends. Our options for partners were pretty limited. Irene and Seulgi paired up, leaving me and Taehyung slightly disappointed. Jungkook, Taehyung, and I decided to form a trio since we had an odd number of people in class. Yoongi and Jin paired up while
Hoseok paired up with Namjoon. We began working on our choreography and soon, we finished right as the bell rang.

"Let's hang out. Want to go to the mall or arcade?" Namjoon suggested.

"Let's go to the arcade and then go get something to eat," Jungkook suggested.

"Sounds good. Jimin and Taehyung, you guys should go invite Irene and Seulgi to come along too," Hoseok added, a teasing smile appearing on his face. They all smiled and urged us to go ask them. I looked at Taehyung and he shrugged. I sighed and got up, dragging Taehyung with me. We approached the girls, ignoring the snickering and stares we were getting from our friends.

"Hey, do you guys want to go hang out with us? We thought of going to the arcade and getting some food. Do you guys want to join us?" I questioned, silently hoping that they'll say yes. Taehyung smiled at Irene and I saw her blush. She gives Seulgi a questioning look and words were silently passed between them as they started at each other.

"Sure, we'll join you guys," Irene replies, earning a really big smile from Taehyung. Those two definitely have feelings for each other, I thought.

"Come on, I'll introduce you to the guys," Taehyung says, dragging Irene by her wrist. She looked surprised and began blushing, her eyes wandering around the room. I motioned Seulgi to follow, but she grabbed my wrist and stopped me.

"Jimin, I don't think your friends like me very much," she says, looking nervous. I smile.

"They like you. They were just worried about me and that's why they said it, but don't take it personally. They aren't bad people and they really don't hate you," I said, reassuringly. She nods and follows me as I introduce her to them. Hellos and names were exchanged as they introduced themselves. Soon, we began to leaved the studio and began walking to the arcade.
