Techni-Color | YoonMin

Chapter 10

Jimin sat across from me, his elbows resting on the table between us, the smile on his face causing his eyes to crinkle.

"What are you smiling at?" I question. Bringing my americano to my lips, I take a sip as I wait for his answer.

He chuckles, the action causing his shoulders to shake slightly.

"You."

"Me?" I respond,not fully understanding his answer. "Why on Earth would you be smiling at me?"

The light-hearted look from Jimin's face disappears, leaving a shockingly serious expression in its place.

"Yoongi," Jimin breathes, leaning further forward across the table, taking my free hand in both of his own. His brown eyes meet mine, the intensity with which he's looking at me makes me feel like I could melt into a puddle in the middle of this coffee shop. I gulp, anxious to hear the rest of what he has to say.

Jimin opens his mouth to speak, but no words come out. Instead a shrill ringing comes out, the sound getting louder as Jimin continues to speak. Covering my ears, I try to block out the noise, but it's to no avail.

Jimin brings his hand up to cradle my cheek, his lips mouthing my name but the blaring noise takes place of where his voice should be coming out.

~~~~~~~~~~

I open my eyes, confused with the scene around me. Bright, white lights were flashing all though the room, the alarm still shattering my ear drums. I shake my head, trying to clear away to fog left behind after my nap. I look around, noticing that the world had once again faded back to its shades of gray.

I wonder where Jimin moved to.

Then it dawns on me. The lights, the sound, Jimin's absence.

Fire alarm. I have to get out of here.

I scramble to my feet, my feet getting tangled in the blanket and almost tripping me in my hurry. I slip on my shoes and coat before hurrying into the hallway, my color starting to return to me. I look down the hallway, seeing Taehyung trying to usher Jungkook and Jimin down the hallway. The two boys were not taking him seriously at all, instead they continued to banter and move at a turtle's pace towards the stairs. Walking up behind them, I flick Jimin in the back of the head.

"Get a move on boys. I'm not going to burn to death because you guys feel like being rebellious against Taehyung today," I grumble, still cranky from being woken up.

"This is all Tae's fault anyway," Jungkook mumbles, picking up his pace despite his words.

I look at Taehyung, whose face was starting to turn red. I decided that now was not the time to worry about this, I could do that once I was safely out of the building. I pushed past the trio, taking the lead as they followed silently behind me.

As I pushed the lobby doors open, the cool night air rushed in to meet me, making me glad that I had remembered to grab my coat. I walked down the stairs and moved to stand off to the side of the large group of occupants that had also had to evacuate their apartments due to the alarm, the three boys still following along behind me.

Once I had determined we were a safe distance away, I turned towards my neighbors.

"So does someone want to explain to me what just happened?" I leveled Taehyung with an accusatory stare causing the taller man to shrink back from me.

Jimin laughed before lightly punching Taehyung in the shoulder. At the sound of his laugh, an image of him sitting across from me in my dream popped into my head.
