With or Without You (BTS Jin FanFic)

Chapter 10

Jin is sitting all alone in the dorm. He didn't go back to the studio anymore and told Yoongi and Namjoon that he is not feeling well. The incident that afternoon kept replaying in his head. He stormed off the restaurant the moment he heard YeongCheol confess his feelings to you. He doesn't want to be there to hear your answer. He might not be able to take it if you give YeongCheol the chance. He is more upset that he doesn't have that much advantage right now. He's going to go crazy thinking how things turned up this way. He's already regretting everything and now the feeling is much more worse. He fears that sooner or later he will eventually lose you. He wished so badly that he could turn back the time when he had the opportunity to profess his love for you. Then he remembered the New Year's party that was held in your place.

It was New Year's Eve, Jin was anxiously fixing himself for the party that you were hosting in your place after the boys all outvoted you. They insisted that since this year, all of you will not be attending any street party countdown celebration, they suggested that they would rather stay in your apartment since it has a nice view of the Han River and the Gangnam district. It would be the perfect place to witness the turn of the new year and get a spectacular view of the fireworks display. He heard the boys call out his name from the living room. He took one last look at his reflection and breathe in a large amount of air before heading out.

The moment you opened the door, all the boys merrily greeted you, and you invited them inside your home. The boys immediately started doing their assignned tasks for you to be able to start the party in time. You and Jin were in charge in cooking, while Hoseok, Namjoon and Yoongi were in charge of the decorations, Jimin was in charge of cleaning the apartment, and Taehyung and Jungkook, well, they kept themselves busy by hogging the game console.

The sound of you and Jin's playful bickering and laughter echoed the kitchen while you both slaved yourselves in preparing a scrumptious meal for everyone. He kept "bossing" you around the kitchen as he make you run and do some stuff for him while he took over cooking and everything. While you were busy chopping some vegetables that he shoved in front of you, Jin can't help but stare at your face and unintentionally brushed off the strands of hair that got loose fromm the tie and is now bothering your eyes. You just smiled at him, fixed your hair in a high messy bun and continued chopping. For a moment, he felt his heart stopped beating and his breathing hitched when you smiled at him. His gaze never left you.

"Are you ok?" You asked him with a puzzled expression. He broke away from the hypnotic state that he was in and noticed you were already done chopping and was looking at him weirdly.

"W-what? Why are you looking at me like that?" He sputtered in a defensive tone.

"I should be asking you that. You have been staring at me for a whole minute. Did I do something wrong?" You asked worriedly. Jin has no excuse to refute you so he just pretended to be irritated and mumbled 'nothing' befor snatching the plate of vegetables from your hands. He walked away and you were left snickering behind him before walking the other way to finish the other dishes.

You were all gathered in the living room waiting for the countdown to begin. You just finished dinner and you are just relaxing now and sharing funny stories with each other as you and the elder boys are enjoying a glass of wine while the three maknaes were stuck drinking orange juice. Jin took a seat beside you on the couch and the moment you felt him flop beside you, you unconciously held his hand that was sitting on his lap which made him jump a little. The warmth of your touch sent shivers to his body making him gulp. Then he felt you lean backwards towards his direction making his heart flutter. You excitedly whispered something in his ear, but since he was too anxious and was mesmerized with your closeness that he never even git the chance to even listen to what you have said. He just let out a fake laugh and took a sip of the wine to hide his restlessness.
