Choose Me || Taehyung x Reader x Jin

Chapter 17: Danger

I sat with my chin resting on my hand as I watched Jimin and Jungkook arm wrestle while we waited for the teacher. The chair beside me was still vacant, surprisingly Minhee is still not in the classroom. Usually she'd be the first one here, already reading the book in advance for our lesson.

"Ha! Easy."

"Aish... you muscle pig."

The two boys played another intense round, Jungkook had a playful smirk on his lips but Jimin looked so serious and determined to beat the maknae this time. Both their arm muscles flexed and tensed as they tried to slam the other's arm down. I couldn't help but chuckle and shake my head at their competitiveness.

A few moments later, Minhee rushed next to me. Her eyes looked wide behind her thin framed glasses and her mouth was slightly agape. "Y/n... I really don't know how to say this..." Minhee struggled to talk as she tried to catch her breath, it seemed like she ran all the way here.

Minhee handed me her phone and played a video. It was taken from the girls bathroom, Minhee took the video from inside a cubicle with a slightly cracked open door. For a few seconds in the video, it displayed three girls in tiny school uniforms. They were chatting with each other and even from the back view for a few brief seconds in the video, I could easily tell who they were.

Kim Jennie, Lee Ji-eun and Kim Jisoo.

There was a rustling sound in the video as Minhee tried to hide behind the door again to avoid being seen and just simply record their conversation. I paused the video for a second and looked at Minhee, feeling really confused as to why she had to record and show me this.

"Keep watching. It's important." Minhee said in a very serious tone, not sounding small and shy at all like she usually is.

I press play and continued to listen and watch the video. The screen no longer displayed the three girls in view, nothing but a grey door was visible but I could still clearly hear their voices.

"Ugh, isn't she such a nasty flirt? I mean, she's not even that pretty like us." The girl had a high pitched voice, sounding very annoyed.

"I know. I have no idea why Jin suddenly likes her, I was so shocked when he told me about it! All along I thought he still had feelings for me... how embarrassing it is to find out that he liked Y/n instead of me!"

"I think Taehyungie likes her too, he wouldn't stop talking about her! That kid practically friend zoned me because of Y/n! That skank. And she's been hanging out with both of them at the same time, can you believe that?"

One of them sighed. "And what exactly does this thing have to do with me? Why did you two drag me all the way here to talk?"

"If we put dirt on Y/n, we'll destroy her reputation and it will drag her brother down too, of course. After that, you'll gain the position as the rightful President!"

"Jennie, you've always had evil plans like this. Don't get me involved, Namjoon and I are in good terms." Ji-eun unnie snapped back sternly. I'm sure it was her, her voice sounded quite distinct and authoritative.

"Unnie, I know you want to benefit from this too. All you have to do is use your fame to spread some rumors, people will believe anything we say. That's what Jisoo and I do. Pretty simple, works every time."

"That's true. I mean, I'm not head of the school newspaper for nothing! Of course I have a way of making news travel fast." Jisoo unnie cooed and bragged, I felt a lump form down my throat. I can't believe she could abuse her power like that, I thought she was perfectly nice inside and out.

"It sounds like both of you just want to play dirty to get a man. Don't bring me into that mess." Ji-eun's voice sounded so uninterested, after she said that there was a sound of heels clicking on tiles and a door shut closed. I guess she left after her statement.
