Goosebumps

Chapter V

The staff took the boys and you stayed with Dessa, both on the couch of the room waiting for them to come back from make up. One by one they came back to the room, filling it until they were all ready to go outside. "Let's go!" Jimin said, getting your hand and pulling you off the couch. Jungkook just lifted Dessa with ease and smiled at her, their faces very close. You had to cough slightly for them to remember where they were. Jimin, you and Taehyung laughing uncontrollably about what had just happened. The rap line was the first to take pictures, the three of them together, then one by one, which made Jimin very happy so he could be with you playing rock-paper-scissors. "Aish! How is it that you beat me every time?" He said, frustrated, realizing far too late that Taehyung was giving you the answers. "That's not fair!" He screamed, laughing and making you and Tae almost fall to ground with laughter too. Jin was talking to Dessa and Jungkook, mostly about the youngest and how Jin was happy to see the Maknae smiling that much. "Okay, change!" The photographer screamed and Jimin have you quick hug, just like Tae, and they pulled Jin and Jungkook to the background. Namjoon placed himself on the couch and fell asleep like he'd been awake on autopilot that whole time. Hoseok went to Dessa to talk, making jokes and making her laugh out loud. And you just crossed your arms while Yoongi came closer. "Jay.." He started saying, but since you weren't looking at him, he just looked down too. "I'm really sorry. I didn't think you'd feel like that." He licked his lips again, you could tell by your peripheral vision. "I understand what you meant. I really wouldn't like it if someone had said they'd help me and then didn't." You looked at him, then, touching his ankle with your feet very lightly so that he would look up at you. – It's ok. – You gave him a small smile, uncrossing your arms and shrugging again. – It was just clothes anyway. – He smiled a little too, sitting by your side. "If it helps anything, I think you look better like this. Like the real you." You smiled again, feeling your cheeks on fire from the compliment, and just nodded. – Thanks. – The silence between you was there again, none of you knew what to say but it was just like that time on the phone when you just listened to each other breathing. Your hands were close, right in between you two, suddenly you felt something brush your pinky and looked at it, finding his on top of yours. Your eyes met again and he gave you a small smile, that you reciprocated, before paying attention to the shoot. You looked at your hands, separated but with his pinky finger on top of yours, your face just became a ball of fire. You smiled to yourself, forcing your eyes to focus on the four boys now having their pictures taken.

The staff came in after the photographer said the outside part was over and told everyone to get inside; the boys would record some videos for the behind the scenes and after you and Dessa could meet them and continue to enjoy your day. In the mean time, though, Dessa was very curious to what had happened between you and Yoongi. Of course she already knew, she was present when it all went down, but she wanted to know what was happening aside from that. – What do you mean? – You asked, making yourself comfortable on the couch since there was only you and her there. "I mean, you guys stare at each other all the time, there is definitely chemistry there..." She trailed off after seeing you roll your eyes. "Come on, you've loved him ever since you started liking BTS." It was true, you did. "And now that he's your friend, you can talk to him and hug him, there is nothinggoing on?" You sighed, shaking your head. – It's not up to me, you know? I can't make him like me. – She made a face but didn't reply, she had to admit you were right. – What about you and JK? – Her smile just opened 100% more than before and she began to tell, in lengthy detail, how things were going and how she could feel that they were going to be together for good. You didn't say anything because you were skeptical about romantic things ever since your ex, who you were supposed to be married to but after three years had just ended in heartbreak for the both of you. In your head you were perfect, and people seemed to think so too, and if you guys couldn't figure things out and be together, well, you began to not believe real love was possible anymore. Of course you wouldn't say that to your friend, so you only smiled at her and said your usual words: - I'm happy for you. – Which you were. Maybe love happened after all, just not for you.
