chapter VIV

"Jimin, people are staring." I mumble, blushing a little.

"So...?" he raises his eyebrows and smiles before pecking my lips.

"Stop it." I laugh.

"No." he pecks my cheek.

"You know I hate when people are looking at me." I say.

"They aren't looking, don't worry." he kisses the other side of my cheek.

"I need to go to the washroom." I say, letting go of him.

"Okay." he pecks my forehead and shoots me a smile before I walk out of the cafeteria.

I go to the washroom and lock myself in one of the stalls, a second after I'm done I hear footsteps and people walking in.

"Yeah, I feel bad for her." I hear one girl saying.

"Jimin doesn't date. I don't know what's gone into him." the other replies.

"I'm sure he's doing all of this to get into her pants, he must find her really attractive."

"Ah, come on. She's really pretty." another one says.

"Oh! I bet this whole thing is a bet."

"Oh, my god! For sure! A bet with Taehyung probably."

A bet?

Not capable of listening to any more of that I barge out of the bathroom stall. I feel the three girls stare at me in shock, one of them even mumbling 'oh, my god' and elbowing the other.

I walk out of the wahsroom, tears forming on my throat. At the same time, the bell rings and students start coming out of every corner.

"Minnie!" I hear Jimin calling.

I look over the crowd and see him looking around to find me.

I walk over to him and his expression immediately changes.

"Are you okay? You look pale."

"Y-yes." I gulp down my tears.

"Hey, talk to me." I feel his hand touching mine but I retrive my hand, "What's wrong?"

"Tell me truth. Is this real?"

"Minnie, come on. We're in the middle of-"

"Jimin."

"Yes. What makes you think otherwise?"

"These girls were talking about this being a bet. Is this a joke? Cause if you think-"

"A bet?"

"Yes. They were so sure about what they were saying I figured-"

"They said that to you?"

"No. They were talking in the washroom."

"Minnie." he starts, tsking, "Come here." he grabs my hand and pulls me into the janitor's room before anyone can see.

Once we're inside he turns me to look at him and holds both of my hands, interlocking our fingers.

"Tell me what happened, princess." he says softly.

"They were just talking and I happened to listen. They said you were doing all of this to get into my pants and that this was probably a bet with Taehyung."

"First of all, this is not a bet. Taehyung is the one who tries to keep me from doing all this shit I do. Secondly, I would never bet on a girl's feelings like this. And thirdly, I've fallen for you. And damn, I've fallen down deep, cause it's hard to get back up and also... I don't want to."
