➣ Thirty Eight

They stepped out of the building, sighing, half relieved that the day was over but half dreadful because the next time they're to set foot in there is for finals.

And instead of studying tomorrow night, most of the students would be drinking and partying.

"Bye Chim." Seulgi smiled as she waved him goodbye. How she wanted to kiss him. But it wouldn't be ethical, I mean, she just broke up with her boyfriend of how many months?

Okay maybe not that bad.

Wait what no it's bad.

She sighed, licking her lips as she walked towards the more modern addition to the school where the dance studio lay. There was no practice due to upcoming exams, but she'd told Jimin that she was going to spend a little time dancing to relieve herself of stress. Because of this she'd earned a pout but, luckily, no denial. She smiled to herself as she thought back to his precious frown and blond bangs as she pushed the familiar door open.

Inhaling deeply, she let the sharp aroma of the lavender room freshener to slide down her nose canal, immediately starting to relieve her stress. She was dressed in black ripped jeggings and a tucked in loose tee along with her red high tops, which should be okay for dancing. Dropping her books and bag on the floor, she pulled her phone out to play some music.

About half an hour in, she was flopped against the wall of the studio, her head barely reaching the ballet bar above her. The sun was barely beginning to set, but she could see how exhausted it was, ready to take off for the day. Shutting her eyes, she sighed, holding her water bottle in her hand while wiping away the sweat that had formed under her bangs. The studio door creaked open, but no footsteps followed. Curious, she opened her eyes.

Out of all the people.

"Sorry, I'll, just, go." The brunet at the door mumbled, a bright red blooming on his cheeks as he began taking unstable steps backwards.

"Kook." Seulgi sighed, her breath slowing. Jungkook froze on the spot, shocked at her use of the nickname. "You're probably here for the same reason as me. Stressed?" She asked. He turned around slowly and nodded. She nodded back. "Okay. I'll go, I've been here for awhile already." She quickly stood and shoved her things in her bag, and when she stood again, he was still standing in the doorway. "You coming in?"

Jungkook shook himself out of his thoughts, something Seulgi saw him do often. She walked to the door as he entered, brushing against his shoulder as he passed. The door squeaked shut and as she rounded the corner to the door of the building, she heard Charlie Puth blare from the studio.

Earlier.

Jimin was on his way to Seulgi's class after school when he bumped into him.

"Oh hey hyung." He smiled brightly at the blue haired boy he bumped into.

"Hey Jimin." He flashed his biggest smile and hugged the boy.

"What're you doing here?" Jimin asked him, but Yoongi wasn't looking. Instead, he was peering over Jimin's shoulder, eyes roaming the hallway.

As if he was looking for someone.

"Are you looking for Hoseok hyung?" The boy smirked, snapping Yoongi back to the present.

"Yeah." He said, before quickly adding, "And Namjoon."

"Sure." Jimin rolled his eyes and peered over the older boys shoulder and saw a familiar jet black ponytail swinging as she waved her taller friend goodbye.

"You looking for someone Jimin?" Yoongi asked. It was his turn to smirk.

"Yeah. Seulgi." His voice didn't waver with embarrassment, but instead held strong as his mouth stretched into a smile as he waved the girl towards them.

"Hey, look at me." The older boy said, bringing Jimin's attention back down. "Be careful with how you treat her okay? I mean in public. Don't forget, the news that she's single is already out, people might talk if you guys are too friendly with each other." The blond nodded solemnly, taking Yoongi's advice to heart.

"We are, don't worry." He said just as she popped up next to the older boy, her dark hair the complete opposite of Yoongi's bright blue.

"Oh hi." She bowed her head slightly in respect. "Please excuse my lack of honorifics, it feels weird to call anyone oppa."

"Ah." Yoongi smiled warmly. All this time he just thought that she was being rude. "That's okay. You can call us hyung if you'd like." He peered past Jimin's shoulder again and his smile widened as a bright flash of red zoomed through the crowd towards them.

"Hey guys!" Hoseok's smile radiated happiness around the circle making everyone's smile as big as Yoongi's. "Oh hey hyung. What're you doing here?"

"Oh, uh." Tripping over his words, Yoongi racked his brain, desperate for something to say as he ignored the blond's cheeky grin. "Just wanted to get you to prepare for the party tomorrow."

"You could've just waited 'til I got back you know." Now that Namjoon and Hoseok were in their second year of university, they got to choose if they wanted to dorm or move out. Of course, the voted for the latter since Namjoon was the one who bought Jin and Yoongi's apartment after they graduated.

"Well, we need to go shopping for stuff." He huffed and Hoseok laughed stepping from Jimin's side to Yoongi's before spinning him round. Just as they were stepping away, they two younger ones heard Hoseok mutter another,

"You could've just waited for me to get back."

Seulgi stepped to Jimin's side as they both watched the colorful men walk to the door, Yoongi punching the younger one playfully.

Jimin almost laughed out loud when he realized they left without Namjoon.

"They're so cute." Seulgi sighed as the door shut behind them and a couple of other students.

"I know right?" Jimin looked down at the girl beside him wishing that he could have the same with her. Hoseok and Joy have been split for awhile so it's old news and the fact that the popular dancer can walk out of the building without anyone throwing him disapproving glances felt unfair to the younger boy.

"If only." Seulgi whispered under her breath to herself. If only Jungkook had never seen Taehyung and Jimin in the theater? If only they never held hands? If only they never dated? If only what?

If only she never fooled herself that her heart was set for Jungkook and not Jimin.
