Bookstore- PJM

8.

"Ya Tamya, what was so important that you had to come find me?" Jules was embarrassed. Not only did her best friend catch her almost kissing a guy but she followed her to the bookstore to make sure she was alright. As if she was a kid.

But Tamya didn't seem to be paying attention. She stood frozen with her body locked in a stiff position. Jules followed her gaze before landing on Taehyung.

She heard a giggle beside her. She almost forgot that she was holding hands with the boy that makes her heart flutter.

Jimin leaned into her ear. "I think she has a crush on Taehyung."

"She's always had a crush on Taehyung. But I think this is the first time she might be able to talk to him."

Jimin nodded while looking at the situation. "Well, Tae thinks she's cute."

This caused Jules to whip her head toward the blonde. "What? How do you know?"

Jimin giggled at her sudden reaction. "Simple. He told me. Apparently she came to the book store with you once and he noticed her then."

Jules watched Taehyung for a second, who was oblivious to the girl staring at him, before coming up with an idea.

She let go of Jimin's hand before she walked past Tamya and up to Tae. "Taehyung, how have you been?"

The barista looked up with wide eyes and a inquisitive smile. "I'm good Jules. I saw how you walked in the store, are you okay?"

Jules shrugged with a sarcastic smirk. "I'm great. Say have you met my friend Tamya?"

She turned around while directing her arm toward the frozen girl. Tamya's eyes got wider as her presence was made known. When Taehyung finally made eye contact with her, it was like time stopped. Jules swore she could've heard a pin drop. No words were spoken between the two, only silent breaths. Jules felt Jimin come stand next to her and envelop his hand into hers, observing the situation in front of them. Jules saw Taehyung gulp in awkwardness. She couldn't help but giggle at them.

She leaned into Jimin to whisper. "I think they're into each other."

Jimin raised his other hand and waved it in front of Taehyung's face. That finally broke him out of the trance he put himself in. He blinked a few times before responding.

"Hi I'm Tae." He slowly reached his hand out to Tamya who was still frozen in place. Jules reached out and pinched her, causing her to stir a little bit. She looked down at the extended hand and steadily took it.

She slowly raised her eyes back up to the barista. "I'm Tamya. Wow you're pretty."

Jules and Jimin started bursting with laughter at the two. Both still had wide eyes and seemed unfazed by Tamya's remark.

"Thanks you too." Their hands were still shaking, ever so slowly. What seemed like an eternity must have only been a minute because Taehyung's hand left Tamya's and he took a step forward. Now suddenly understanding what's going on, Jules inhaled a sharp breath.

Is he gonna kiss her? That would be so weird if he did. They just met. What is he gonna do?

Then Taehyung did the unexpected. He raised his hands to her face and squished Tamya's cheeks. To say shock is what Jules felt would be an understatement. Tamya just stood there, gazing dreamily into his eyes. It was as if she didn't feel her face being touched, which was actually a pet peeve of hers.

"Aigoo, you're so cute." Taehyung said smiling down at her. Jules could almost feel her eyes bulging out of her head. She never expected this to happen so soon, it was amusing to say the least.
