Reader's POV

"Woah, woah, woah. Back up for a second." Jennie holds up her hand. We are sitting cross-legged on my bed, a bowl of microwave popcorn between us.

It is 1:00 AM in the morning and I have been ranting about everything that's going on in my head.

"Park Jimin kissed you?" She asks in disbelief.

"Yes." I sigh impatiently. "But that's not the point. The point is, I can't seem to move on from-"

Jennie waves her hand in the air and rolls her eyes. "Yeah, yeah, you can't move on from Yoongi. That's pretty obvious."

I cup my face in my hands. "I've been trying so hard. I tried to make myself believe that I'm okay. But then Jimin suddenly comes into my life, and all the heartbreak comes back. I don't even know why I'm sad. I just- fuck, whatever. My feelings are so dumb."

"Aw, honey. It's not dumb." Jennie reaches over the popcorn bowl and pats my shoulder. "You're just in denial. You won't accept your feelings towards Jimin because you still love Yoongi."

"I don't have feelings towards Jimin." I mumble.

"Of course you do." Jennie shrugs.

"But-"

Jennie holds up her hand again. "Just hear me out for a second, okay?"

I nod and shove a handful of popcorn into my mouth.

"Jimin likes you, Y/N. It's pretty obvious. But do you like him back?"

I stare at her blankly. "Was that a question?"

Jennie laughs. "Yes. But don't answer that one. Answer this: does he make you happy?"

I pull at the loose threads of the blanket under me. "Yeah, I guess. But-"

"When you see him, does your heart beat faster?" Jennie asks.

"Yeah, but it's because I get nervous-"

"Ok. You like him." Jennie concludes, popping a piece of popcorn into her mouth.

"No. That's impossible. We only started talking a few days ago. I feel like I've just met him." I argue.

"So what?" Jennie scoffs. "Him kissing you was his way of asking if you liked him back. He's probably dying right now, waiting for your answer. Trust me, once you confess to him that you like him, you'll feel less awkward because the two of you finally know the truth about each other's feelings."

Jennie continues, "And Yoongi? He's just a part of your past. You need to live in the present. Jimin is in the present. Do you know what that means?"

"Um..."

"It means," Jennie smiles and takes a deep breath. "The Yoongi era is over. It's time to start the Jimin era."

I let out a laugh loudly. "What the fuck?" I clutch my stomach and break into a fit of giggles.

Jennie snorts and throws a pillow at me. "Don't laugh, idiot! Be thankful I'm giving you quality love advice."

The two of us laugh until we can't breathe.

I clear my throat and ask, "Ok, ok. So I might have a crush on him. What am I supposed to do now?"

"It's simple." Jennie says. "Tomorrow, tell him. Before it's too late."

"What do you mean 'before it's too late'?"

"I don't know. Before you start thinking about Yoongi again. Before Jimin finds someone else. Before Jimin loses hope in you."

I bite my lip and my face grows warm.

"Tomorrow." I mutter. "I'll tell him, I guess."

"What're you gonna say?"

I clear my throat and sit up. "Um. Hey, Jimin. I'm sorry I ran away yesterday. I was just nervous and I didn't know how to react. But- I think... I like you."

"But you still love Yoongi." Jennie says in a deep voice, trying to act as Jimin.

"No, I don't." I lie. "It's time for me to move on. You make me happy, even though I was having a hard time. I really appreciate that, Jimin. I want to spend more time with you. I want to get to know you more. Um, I..."

I shrug. "That's all I can think of. Did it sound like shit?"

Jennie gives me a big smile. "Hon, that was perfect! It's a good start."

I smile uneasily. "Thanks."

I shove more popcorn in my mouth as I try not to think about how nervous I am for tomorrow.

"Oh, yeah! I forgot to tell you." Jennie exclaims. "Since it's almost the holidays, I'm planning a party. It'll be sometime next week at my brother's house. It's a big ass house, perfect for a party. And he'll be in America when my party happens, so we can have the house all to ourselves. I'm gonna invite you, my friends from yoga class, and some cute guys of course. I was also thinking..."

My mind drifts away from Jennie's words as I think deeply.

Could Jimin be the answer?

Is he the man waiting for me on the other side of the bridge in my dream?

I guess I'm just gonna have to find out.
