Lies

~Chapter 5~

No.

NononononononononononoNO.

WHAT. Is HE. Doing in THIS. CLASS?!?!?!?!

You go through a mental crisis as you stare at the boy standing beside the teacher. Jimin grazes the class with his eyes.......until they settle on you. After spotting you, he whispers something to the teacher and walks to where you and Hoseok sit. With a subtle smirk on his face, he takes the seat on the other side of you.

Oh. NO.

"Hello again, beautiful" he says to you in a low voice so know one could hear. You shoot him a look and, surprisingly, Hoseok does the same thing as well.

Huh......he must have heard him too.

You pay him no mind and continue to pay attention. You could feel the frustration radiating of of the once cheerful boy beside you during the remainder of the class. Can you blame him? No, because you were just as frustrated as he was.

As the class advances, you can feel the glances Jimin gives you whenever your head was turned, as if they were burning a hole through your face. When you finally had enough after the umpteenth glance, you turn in his direction. "Is there something wrong?" you say annoyed.

"Yes." he answers, staring dead at you with those eyes.

S-Stay strong Y/N...

"There is a distraction." he says.

He better not...

"What is?" you ask, instantly regretting it.

"Your beautiful side profile. I can't focus." Jimin says with a smirk.

Oh for the love of---

You roll your eyes and go back to focusing. Using your peripheral vision, you can see that Hoseok is gripping his pencil a bit tighter than usual, and his face turns a bit red. Concluding that he must have heard it, you assure him that it was nothing and that you were ok. Trusting you, Hoseok calms down, and you all go back to paying attention.

After class, you dashed from your seat to avoid any other comments by Jimin; however, your teacher had other plans and stopped you before you could exit the door. He had asked for a word with you and Hoseok. He said that since Jimin had just joined the class, he decided to place him with you two. It was also because every group had hit their maximum limit of people. After talking, you walked out with Hoseok, disbelief showing on both of your faces.

Now, you are on your way walking home from class trying to process what just happened. There was no way in HECK this would go well. Plus, you have a strong feeling that he is going to PURPOSEFULLY mess with you throughout the entire time. He hasn't been seen with a girl every since the day he tried to talk to you, which was a record for this guy. In addition to that, he was attempting to flirt with you in class. That just adds more evidence to you being his next target.

Hoseok didn't like the idea of Jimin being around either because, although he didn't know Jimin that well, he has heard stories about him. So the fact that he has you as a partner, and hopefully a potential friend, aggravated him. His reaction during class was just enough to come to that conclusion.

Conflicted in thought, you open the front door, throw your bookbag over to the couch, and grab a quick shake. Your brother had an unexpected early shift that morning, so you are home alone at the moment. After grabbing your favorite flavor shake, you go sit on the couch and watch a bit of TV.


*DING*


You switch the hand that held the shake and check your phone to see the text message.

'Hey. I'm just as unhappy as you are, but we still have to continue. Do you think we can meet at your house this weekend?
-H'

Oh HECK no. There is no way. On planet Earth. You are letting that person. In your house. Period.

'Uh.....is there anywhere else we can meet?'

You press send, hoping he was going to suggest another option for location. To your delight, Hoseok replies with a little light on the situation.

'Well, I can try to clear the house this weekend. It shouldn't be too hard....I have hope 😂
-H'

You release a breath of relief as you send him your thanks. On the other hand, you also feel bad for him, because that means he would have to deal with Jimin as well. It was already enough you were going to be there, so putting 2 and 2 together, it's a formula for disaster.

You continue to drink your shake and watch TV in peace. You could feel this was going to be a long semester, but it isn't anything you can't handle. At least you aren't alone in this. As you finish your drink, you place it on the table that used to hold the vase. To soothe the headache you feel coming on, you pull a lever to turn the seat into a recliner, close your eyes, and massage your temples.

"It's just a semester." you say to yourself. "It's only a seme--------"

Hold on a second.....

You stop massaging your head for a second and open your eyes.


Come to think of it....how DID Jimin end up in your chemistry class, and why the heck NOW??

(Jimin's POV)

Jimin watches Y/N and Hoseok walk out of the door and satisfyingly runs his fingers through his hair. He replays the expression Y/N had on her face the moment he walked in the door, and the look on her face when he was flirting with her. Absolutely priceless.

Everything went according to plan, and he didn't do anything illegal. How did he do it? Well, Jimin is actually very smart, consider it Y/N's level. Everybody who has had at least one class with him knows that. Before the school year started, he actually WAS given the opportunity to be in that class, but declined because it was a morning class. The school system has a deadline of when a student is allowed to make a change in the schedule for the year, so the offer was still open to him until then. It was actually perfect timing when that bet was made, because he made that change exactly 3 days before the deadline. When the counselor asked him why he made the change, he simply answered, "I have been motivated."

That slick boy.

"Hey Jiminie!" Taehyung calls out, running down the hallway to catch up with Jimin. "How did it go?"

"Aaaaahhhh Taehyungie" Jimin purrs. "I told you it would work. You should've never doubted me on that."

"Um......I DIDN'T doubt you on that because I knew that was possible." Taehyung replies.

This kid.

Jimin rolls his eyes. "Ok ok whatever you say. Let's get out of here, I want some ice cream. You can come over today, too. Yoongi won't care."

"I don't know...Yoongi scares me, man." Taehyung says, making Jimin chuckle with a little squeak.

"He's not going to mess with you as long as you don't wake him up. Now c'mon, let's go." Jimin says with a smile.

"Alright" Taehyung says happily while putting and arm around his shorter friend's shoulders as they walk out of the door leading to the parking lot. "Are you still gonna tell me how you plan to win this bet? I still don't think you're gonna doooo iiiiit."

"Never doubt Park Jimin, Taehyung." Jimin assures.


"This, my friend, is gonna be a piece of cake."
