Not So Fine | Yoonmin

Chapter 6

Jimin POV

"Hyung, have you seen the news?" Jungkook asks in a mildly disgusted tone as he stares at his phone from the corner of the practice room during the small break that Hobi is granting us. I frown in confusion as I look over at him, raising an eyebrow in question.

"What are you talking about, Kookie?" I ask as I watch Taemin toss me my bottle of water from the side of the room. I give him a small smile before cracking it open and taking a few sips from it.

Hobi decided that he wanted the pair to hang out with us in the afternoon during practices just to keep an eye on the both of us. I know in reality that it's more so for me so that they can help him monitor how much I'm really taking care of myself, but I never bothered really pushing the topic. I don't mind having my two friends here with me during practice.

"It looks like Yoongi hyung started up his own record label with Namjoon hyung. According to the article, they're both set to start releasing music soon. It looks like Yoongi's set to have an interview with Soompi at the end of the week too." Jungkook explains before looking up from his phone.

"We don't give a shit about that asshole, Jungkook. There's absolutely no reason to be so much as speaking his name. Jimin's moving on from him and you don't need to make that process any harder. It's been seven months since that asshole ruined anything and everything of himself." Taemin growls at the youngest.

I just purse my lips, not in the mood for a fight or to be thinking of him.

"I'm not trying to start up old shit, hyung. I just thought it was interesting that he's trying to start up a career in the industry again. I never said I was on Yoongi's side." Jungkook defends calmly as he returns his attention back to his phone.

I just shrug it off in attempt to pretend that it doesn't bother me, taking another few sips from my bottle of water.

It's when Hobi calls for the last five minutes of break that anyone bothers speaking again. I watch curiously from the middle of the floor where I'm stretching as Taemin stands from his spot on the side of the room. He casually stuffs his hands in his pockets as he walks over to me, head bowed down. He only stops once he's in front of me, only looking up enough to be able to see me.

"Can I speak to you for a minute outside?" Taemin asks quietly, almost looking a little nervous. I give him a calm smile, nodding as I hop up from my stretching position. I glance at the other boys who don't seem to care as I exit the room, deciding that it can't be anything too bad if they aren't worried about it.

"What's up, hyung?" I ask curiously once the door is shut behind us and he's led us a small distance from the room. He rubs his neck nervously, sighing quietly.

"I-I know it's only been seven months since the breakup, Jiminie, b-but... I really like you a lot. I can't blame you if you can't trust me after what that asshole did to you, but I was hoping you could possibly find it in yourself to give me a chance? Let me be your boyfriend and take you out on all the best dates and show you how you really deserve to be treated." Taemin breathes out softly, still looking a bit shy.

I blush lightly at the question, at the confession. I can't believe he actually fell for me, but I also can't believe the fact that I've just been confessed to after everything that's happened in the last year. I'm still extremely hesitant and reluctant to trust anyone the way I trusted Yoongi. I'm still nervous of being made a fool and an embarrassment again like what he did to me.

But... maybe it could be good? Maybe this is my chance to really get over him and get past it. Maybe this is my chance to learn how to trust again, to move on with my life.

Sure, Taemin is my best friend and I don't really feel much more than that for him, but it's a start. It's a start and it's better than the alternative of still struggling over Yoongi.

"Yeah. Yeah, we can try that. Just... I wanna take it slow, okay? I'm still a little nervous of getting hurt again..." I answer lightly with a small smile.

After all, what's the worst that could come of it? Taemin's my best friend and has always had my back through everything.
