Against The Ban | JiMina

Chapter 25

It's been 4 months since their last personal talk, and several days with in these months, they didn't have any proper conversations. They don't have strong communication anymore, unlike before. Since BTS' schedule became even more tight and hectic while Twice has been really busy the past 3 months since they've just released their new song for their comeback in May - thus, they had to do promotions here and there, and it's really hard to be honest, it's always hard.

Sometimes, they would just greet each other good mornings and good nights in their texts and that would be it - it's just the only thing they can do for now. Only with their selfies together set as wallpapers on their phone, at least that would keep them from dying because of how they miss each other. Well now, truthfully speaking, they can really relate to "Spring Day."

This month is August, so hello? Are you sleeping? September's their comeback! They've just filmed their Highlight Reel videos for their new album "Love Yourself 承 'Her'" and for them it's honestly fun and tiring at the same time. Also, BigHit planned to release Jimin's solo "Serendipity" for their comeback trailer so soon. Isn't that so exciting?

Mina on the other hand, and the other members as well, are patiently waiting for the boys' next comeback. Since they're all friends, they're also worried about their health - this is a reminded that they indeed built a good friendship despite not being in the same company. As much as she wants to hear their new music again, she wants them to rest, since she knows they've been working really hard more than they do.

Imagine, having a long hectic schedule of concerts all around the world set for almost a year and still be able to make a comeback in between, wouldn't that internally kill you and make you physically tired and weak?

"So what are you going to do now?" Sana, who's sitting beside Mina while half-closing her eyes, asked. Sana's asking her how she would celebrate Jimin's birthday in advance since BTS will be back in Japan on October 9 to be prepared for the concert.

"I don't know." She replied. A pout displayed on her lips.

Mina earned a sigh from Sana which made her look beside her, only to see the least expected look she would receive from the squirrel - the are-you-serious look, and it's honestly kinda intimidating for her.

"W-what?" She stuttered, looking straight at Sana's expressionless face.

"What do you mean you don't know? Now let me ask you, do you like the guy? What are you really feeling towards him?" The feelings inside her started tensing up after the expressionless girl beside her questioned her hidden feelings.

Of course. Even just by the thought of her undeniable answer, makes her quite nervous for some unknown reason - maybe she's not ready to reveal it yet? Oh c'mon, she's not in a relationship with the guy and yet she's afraid to reveal her feelings. As if it would really make a big deal when in the first place, she said that she only admires him, but now? Guess what? She still does admire him, but on a different level - she really loves him.

Gaining the confidence to speak the truth, she sighed before spilling out the one she considered as her most hidden feeling. "Yes, I do like him-- erase that, I love him, Sana. What should I do?" She looked at Sana's eyes with which are wide open after hearing her answer.

"What's wrong with that?" Sana asked while smiling. She's really proud of Mina, because Mina, who's usually silent and not expressive of her feelings, finally spilled her feelings which are marked inside her heart for several months already.

"You know that he likes you as well. From all those almost never ending calls, funny and sweet messages, how he takes good care of you, and all those compliments he gave you, doesn't that verify the fact that he also feels the same?" She started, and heaved a sigh in relief. "You guys have the strongest bond between BTS sunb-- oppas... and Twice, so I guess, you guys have the chance to end up being together. Don't worry, all of us will approve." She continued.

"I didn't know you're actually this good at giving advices." Mina instantly replied which earned a laugh from Sana.

"Hey, thank you, I appreciate what you said. But I'll let him confess first, I'm just being careful." She added.

"Okay then, if that's what you say. So... what are you gonna do?" She instantly started thinking about how she'd celebrate his birthday in advance.

"Maybe I'll treat him? Today's my last chance, so I hope he'll be free for just even an hour or 2, and that would be alright." She replied.

"Good idea. Call him, and try to ask him out, don't be awkward, hmm? If he's not gonna answer or he'll be unable to come, just understand him, since he's also busy. And make sure you'll be home before 9 since we need to sleep early so that we could practice for the choreography again tomorrow as early in the morning as possible." She just simply nodded at what Sana replied and quickly picked out her phone from her pocket.

She searched his name on her contacts and when she found it, she instantly clicked the option to call him. Surprisingly, after a couple of seconds, he accepted the call.

"Hey~ Minari. What's up?" Jimin answered in a joyful and bubbly voice. Isn't he tired? She thought.

"What's with the bubbly voice, Mr. Park?" She asked and smiled.

"I'm just happy, Mrs. Park." Hearing the 2 words he called her, she silently gasped and closed her eyes, trying to calm her over-fangirling self.

"Shut it." She replied and chuckled. She received no response from the other line which made her sigh.

"Okay I didn't mean it literally. I was just saying shut the joker side of you." She added.

"That's what I thought." He replied. "But aren't you my future wife though?" He added. Although they're just talking on the phone, she can actually tell he's smirking.

"Ugh what-- who told you that?" She blushed, her heart starting to flutter. "Chill, haha I was just kidding." He replied.

"By the way oppa, can we... meet today? Like, right now?" She asked nervously, not wanting to hear a "no" from Jimin.

"Oh, really? Like a date? Sure, I'm in. I'm kinda hyped up today and I'm free for today, what a timing. So... where would you wanna go?" He asked. She smiled after hearing his approval.

"Better tell me the reason why you're so happy. Okay?" She replied.

"Sure, I'll tell you later." Her lips tugged upwards after hearing his bubbly voice again. I hope you'll stay being happy and bubbly, wish you all the best, oppa. She thought.

"Hmm I kinda want to go back to the place where we first hungout - you know, the place we went after we escaped the bowling alley." She replied.

"Oh sure. I miss that place too! Let's go there. I'll fetch you, is that okay?" He replied.

"No need. I'll get there first, I promise." She chuckled.

"Oh okay then. Let's meet there this 3 pm. Good bye Minari." Mina just hummed in response and ended the call. Smiling brightly after having a proper conversation again with the man she fell in love.
