chapter V

It was only after 3 weeks that I heard a knock on my door. I opened it and faced regretful-looking Jimin.

"Minnie-"

"What do you want?" I blurted out.

"I came here to apologize."

"3 weeks later? Get over yourself, Park Jimin." I start closing the door but he doesn't let me.

"Listen. I was just giving you space. Taehyung said that's what I should do. I talked to Taehyung and he gave me advice."

"I know. I talked to him. More like he talked to me."

"What? What did he say?"

"Let's say you have a pretty amazing best friend. Try not to screw up things with him too."

*flashback*

"Taehyung, I really don't care. I don't want to talk to him anymore."

"No, Minkyung, listen!" he grabs my wrist, "He was mad. That's why he said all that. He didn't mean it. Any of that."

"Oh, yeah? Then why did he say it?"

"He was mad. Jimin is not used to hearing 'no', so he got mad. He didn't kiss you to get into your pants, he wanted to kiss you. He feels something."

"What?"

"He's been acting different. He talks about you too much, he never does that with any of his other 'hook ups'. You're different to him. He likes you."

"I don't believe-"

"Trust me. There's something more than hormones in Jimin."

*end of flashback*

"That little shit." Jimin chuckles.

"I'm telling you."

"Anyways... Can I now talk to you?"

I give it a thought before nodding my head, making a smile spread across his lips. We both walk out and sit down at a little bench I have on my front yard.

"Okay, first of all. I never meant any of that. I was just disappointed, not at you, but myself." he starts, "I should've at least told you about how I felt before kissing you."

"And how do you feel exactly?"

"I also don't know. There's just something about you. You're different. Like, really different from all the other girls I've 'been with'. That's what caught my attention."

After he stops talking there's a long, silent pause.

I can't really find words to reply to that. At the same time that I don't trust him, I want to. This could all be an act to get into my pants or be an actual real talk.

"Oh."

"Oh? I literally just confessed my heart out here, Minnie. And you say 'oh'?" he laughs.

"Sorry." I mumble, "I'm... I'm a little lost." I start, "Jimin... I..."

"Yeah?"

"I think you should leave."

"What? Minnie, I didn't-"

"See you at school, Park Jimin." I say, standing up and walking back inside quickly before he can protest.

I walk inside the school in slow steps, hoping I don't come across Park Jimin.

But when does life ever work in my favor?
