Dancing with the Devil Pt.1

Chapter Eleven

I had been texting Jimin and getting along with him pretty well since yesterday. We had cleared up the whole thing about what had happened at practice and I forgave him for everything. He didn't mean to turn his back on me, he just didn't understand what was going on. He had planned on talking to me about it later and asking me about it but when I got mad and stormed out he got scared. It's all good now between us now though, and honestly, it was really cute to see how protective he was of me when he was saying how upset he was that Rosé did that. Only thing to do now was to tell Lauren. This was going to be interesting.

"But why did you go to meet him?! He totally turned his back on you at practice!" Lauren asked, face palming and questioning me.

"Because! He's not that bad Lauren, he was just confused and he wants to help me now. He's a good guy Lauren, he just got caught up in the wrong crowd" I tried to convince her, standing up from the couch from where I sitting and grabbing her shoulders. "Lauren, I know you don't like him, but please, for me, could you please give him another chance. I promise you, you can yell at me if I'm wrong" I plead with her.

She sighs and looks at me in the eye, obviously wanting to make me happy. "Yes, fine! I'll give him another chance for you. But only because I love you! And hey, you know I could never yell at you". She breaks into a smile and pulls me into a hug, holding me tight and making sure that I knew that she was supporting me.

"Good! I'm glad you're doing that because he may or may not be coming over right this moment" I rushed the words at the end and pulled back from Lauren, waiting to see her face light up with anger. "Hey! You said you are going to give him a chance!"

Lauren just sighs at me and smiles lightly "Nyani, you are crazy" She roles her eyes at me and hugs me again before we hear a firm knock on the door. We both turn towards the door and smile at each other. I know Lauren can see it in my eyes how excited I am for him to be here.

As I walk towards the door, my face lights up as I think about the amazing ball of happiness that is Jimin. He is so nice and sweet. He's been caring about me so much and making sure I was ok. It makes me so happy to just think about him. My hand reaches towards the door and I turn the handle slowly. My door opens and reveals a happy Jimin with three coffees in a holder.

"Hi! Come on in!" I say, happily, grabbing the coffees from his hand to help him out and moving my body in order to let him in. He gives me a quick side hug and walks into the living room of the apartment.

"Lauren, how are you doing?" I hear him ask her cautiously as I place the coffees down onto the table and grab some cookies out of the pantries for us. She had told me about how she yelled at him and tried to protect me after I had walked out of the practice room. I was thankful for her and she was a good friend for trying but she didn't know the whole story, and now that Jimin and I are getting along, she felt kinda bad about it.

"Hey Jimin, look...I'm sorry about the other day in practice. I was just protecting Nyani. We moved here together and I am super protective over her cause I see her almost as a little sister to me" I hear a few more pieces of conversation from them as they walk into the kitchen to join me, sitting at the table, Jimin on the right of me, and Lauren sitting opposite of me.

After we had a few cookies each and I had drank most of my coffee, we started settling in and talking about the plan that we were going to use. Jimin had come up with most of it, but Lauren and I had the idea of posting it online and exposing Rosé for what she was doing. She was going to get what she deserves.

~time skip~

Lauren had gone out to Taehyung's apartment and left Jimin and I alone. We had been talking about different things for about an hour. Dancing, school, our childhoods. Just things that help us get to know each other a bit better. I learned that he had been dancing since he was a little boy. That he loved to dance and loved to perform with everything he had. He is so passionate about being a trainee and really wants to go big. But not for the money. He is training for the same reason that I am. We are very similar in some ways.
