Track 07

Chapter Eight

"Everybody thinks highly of you. You are who everybody wants to be. Little do they know, who you really are."

You cringe at the sound of your own words and voice. You think about running out of your room and hiding in the bathroom. Jimin stops the music and looks at you.

His expression is hard to read. His eyes look neutral and his mouth kinda twitches. His eyebrows move a bit up while he looks at you. His dark brown eyes seem so warm. Like a cup of hot chocolate in front of a fireplace in a poorly lit wooden hut, somewhere in the alps.

He starts to smile. "Your voice is amazing." That was definitely not the reaction you thought you'd get. "It goes really well with my melody. How did you know?" You're overwhelmed and confused at the same time, which is probably why the next sentence from your mouth sounds kinda like: "Knowsonglistentowhatyoumean?"

Jimins bright laughter fills the room and goes straight to your heart. You can feel you ears turning red out of embarrassment. You take a deep breath:"I'm sorry. How did I know what?" "That all my songs are missing, is your voice." He answers while smiling at you.
"What do you mean?" You don't quite understand him.

"Well, I've written songs since I was 16. But I never had the idea that someone like you should sing to them. Or anyone should song to them, honestly. Why didn't I come up with that? What gave you the idea of singing to my songs?"

"It's not what you think." You begin to explain yourself. You don't want him to think, that you don't like his songs. "I love your music, I didn't want to ruin it with my bad lyrics and my voice. I'm so sorry. I don't even know, how this happened. You were never supposed to hear them." You take your laptop away from him and close it.

"Them?" He asks surprised. "There's more than one?" Crap. "No, I just meant.." Jimin doesn't even let you finish: "How many songs of mine did you sing to?" You look down to the floor and slowly raise one hand with two fingers showing.

"Wonderful!" Jimin nearly screams. "Can I hear the other one? Which one is it? Track 01, Track 07?" When he mentions the seventh track you feel you heart aching, but ignore it.

"No, it was Track 02 and Track 03." "Y/N, if you don't want me to listen to them, that's fine. Just know, that I'll never forget these few seconds I just heard and if you'll allow it, I think we can make something happen here. Something... something..." He's searching for words. "Miraculous?" You help him, although you feel embarrassed calling your own doing something like that. Jimin's eyes shine:"Exactly."

He jumps up from his chair and comes closer to you. You look up. He places one hand on your shoulder. You shiver slightly at the touch. "Y/N - Please let me listen to both songs." His lips are pinkish and look soft and his eyes try to tell you: "Trust me." His hand feels perfect on your shoulder, as if it had always belonged there. You nod slightly. Jimins smile grows even wider than before. "Perfect! But maybe let's grab something to eat first. I'm starving."
