Crushed

Chapter 2

Jimin

It was almost cute.

Almost.

Jimin tried not to laugh at Jungkook's pathetic attempts in being subtle with his actions. It was something he was used to, however, so he was able to easily dismiss it.

Still, the other male wasn't that much of an eye sore, and Jimin always welcomed temporary distractions. Besides, he already knew Jungkook of sorts, he could recall a few instances from their younger days, but not too much to the point where Jimin actually cared for them.

There was so a lot more on his mind that he needed to worry about.

Despite that, Jimin decided to keep an eye out, more out of boredom than interest. It was quite the time killer, and was looking for someone new mess around with, not too seriously, but just enough.

Jungkook wasn't the type to really stand out, a guy who mostly kept to himself; well, from what Jimin was able to gather. He was about average in class, pretty good in other things, like Physical Ed.

The guy had some arms and legs on him so Jimin was mildly satisfied. He somewhat remembered Jungkook being a bit scrawny in their younger years, but it wasn't a terrible change, seeing him after so long.

They were never friends, and they never really talked. Still, Jimin recognized the other's face, but did nothing to actually interact with Jungkook, since he had no real reason for it. It was good to know that Jungkook didn't run his mouth much, so whatever Jimin wanted to keep under wraps, was still pretty safe.

A mild smirk spread across his features once the final bell rang. Motioning for one of his classmates to switch with him, Jimin soon found himself sitting behind Jungkook. The other didn't seem to notice much, prompting Jimin to lean slightly forward.

"Do you have a pencil?" Jimin allowed the words to smoothly fall from his lips, though he didn't directly call out for Jungkook, the sudden revelation of proximity had him visibly stiffen.

Stifling a small laugh, Jimin was about to speak up once more, when he heard a girl's voice. "Here you go, Jimin-ssi."

Her smile was bright, and Jimin had no choice but to accept the offering, mildly put out that he couldn't tease Jungkook further.

"Thanks."

It was so obvious, that he had some sort of effect on the guy sitting in front of him, it almost seemed too easy. Still, Jimin wasn't all too sure if that was the case with Jungkook or not, so he couldn't really jump in on assumptions alone.

Toying with the pencil, Jimin leaned back in his chair, trying to hold down his smile as Jungkook continued to look extremely tensed.

Eyes shifted away for a moment and he noticed that Taehyung was giving him an annoyed look from across the room. Slumping back in his chair, Jimin mildly rolled his eyes at the other.

Taehyung knew him far too well, and he just had a good feeling that his friend was going to put a damper in his mood and plans regarding Jungkook.

He wasn't gonna hurt the guy, maybe just smack him around a bit; just a small game, nothing at all serious..
