Promise? (Jimin x reader)

Chapter 14

•Jee's POV•

Wow. It's just me and Jungkook now. You can do this Jee, you got this. I walk toward Jungkook slowly. There's no going back now.

"Are you okay? What's wrong?" he asks. You got this, Jee.

"Nothing's wrong... just nervous." I awkwardly laugh and look down. Just say it Jee! What do you got to loose?

"Nervous? Why?"

I take a deep breath and use everything inside me to look into his eyes and say, "I-I.. shit, Jungkook, I like you. I thought I liked you as a celebrity crush before today, but I got to hang out with you and get to know who you really are. And now I like you a lot more because I realize how chill and amazing you are in real life and not just on screen." I take another deep breath and break eye contact. "That's all I wanted to say before I left... you don't have to say anything back."

I start to turn around to leave, but then I feel a hand on my shoulder turning me back around. I face Jungkook once again.

"Please don't leave right now."

Wow, that's not what I was expecting. He takes his hand off my shoulder and rubs his eyes. "I didn't think that I should tell you this so soon since I wasn't entirely sure, but I think I like you too. Based on my first impression of you, I knew you'd be cool. Then I got to know you more and you seem like the perfect girl. But, I only just met you today... so we should get to know each other better."

What. Did. He. Say. He takes out his phone and gives it to me. "Type in your number. We can keep in touch," he says smiling like the cute little bunny he is. I swear, i'm actually dying from the inside out.

•Y/N POV•

*an hour later*
We've been in the car for 15 minutes now and Jee and I have been non stop talking about what just happened with Jimin and Jungkook. But then I sigh.

"Hey, don't let make you feel down, you have his number! You can FaceTime him and text him and call him.."

"Yeah, but it's not the same as in person.. but it IS a million times better then me never meeting him in the first place." That lifts my spirits up a bit. I can still keep in contact with him and see him on a screen. It may not be the same as seeing him in person, but it's better than nothing.

"Wanna stop at Taco Bell? I'll pay," Jee asks me.

"Bro, is that even a question? Let's go!"

We get back to Jee's house and quietly sneak inside. It's almost midnight, so everyone is sleeping now.

Without speaking to each other, we get ready for bed and turn off the lights. After almost an hour of trying to sleep, I get up and decide to get some water. Quietly, I walk downstairs and into the kitchen. Grabbing a glass, I fill it up with water and sip it. That's when I see someone come around the corner.

"Can't sleep either?" Jee asks getting a midnight snack from the pantry.

"Mhm. I keep thinking... about everything. It's not helping with sleep at all, that's for sure." Jee laughs and takes a bite out of a Honey Bun.

"I couldn't agree more. Imagine trying to focus on school work."

I face palm myself. "Shit. I forgot to finish the project with Matthew! I so owe him." I get out my phone to text him that i'm sorry and that next time i'll do 100% of the work and i'll buy him food. After I sent it, I decide to text Jimin. I don't want to bother him, but maybe talking to him will help me sleep?

Me: Hey, you awake? If not it's totally okay and I understand completely since you have a performance tomorrow :)

"Who you texting?" Jee says coming over to me to try and look at my messages.

"Just Matthew. You know, apologizing for leaving him alone to do the project himself."

Jee shakes her head. "You're a terrible partner."

I laugh. "Yeah I know, I'm not proud of it either."

My phone chimes and I quickly look at the message. It's Jimin. I really thought that he wouldn't be awake.

Jimin: I'm awake hehe, you want to talk?

Me: Yeah. If it's okay with you, can we call?

Jimin: Yes, but i'm not good with English 😂

Me: It's fine haha, you spoke good English in person.

Jimin: Thank you 😊

"Hey Jee, I'm gonna go outside. Maybe I just need some air."

She nods. "Okay, i'll try to go back to bed. Don't get kidnapped."

I walk outside and sit on the porch swing. Yes, people still have those. My phone lights up with the name "Jimin ;)" so I press the answer button.

"Hey."

"Hello again," Jimin says making me chuckle. "Couldn't sleep?" he asks.

"Yeah... why can't you sleep?" I try to change the topic on why i'm not sleeping. I don't want him to know that I keep thinking about him... it sounds weird.

"Well, in Korea, the time now is about 3 pm, so i'm used to being awake at this time."

Ah right, time zones. Sometimes I forget about them.

"You have school tomorrow?" Jimin asks me.

"Yeah, i'm gonna be so tired oof." We laugh.

"Well, what helps you go to sleep?"

"I thought talking to you would help."

There's a bit of silence for a few seconds.

"Where are you now?" he asks me.

"Outside, I thought getting some air would also help."

"Would it help if you went back into bed and closed your eyes while I talk to you? But you won't have to say anything back. Because sometimes it helps to just hear someone's voice."

Maybe that would work. He's a great thinker.

"Yeah of course, we can try it."

I go upstairs and slip into bed. Hah, Jee finally fell asleep. Lucky. I put in my earbuds, close my eyes, and listen as Jimin talks.

"Do you want me to speak in English or is it fine to speak in Korean?" he asks.

"Korean's perfect." Only if I can hear his calming voice, then I should be okay.

He speaks softly in his beautiful angel voice. I don't know at all what he's saying, but I love it and it's helping me get drowsier and drowsier as time goes by.

•Jimin's POV• (short part)

I talk to Y/N about many things while she sleeps. I tell her about how I enjoyed today probably more than everyone else, how I can't wait until the next time we see each other, how I hope we can become closer as time goes by, how I hope she's healthy and treats herself right, and much more things. But all of it was in Korean, she has no idea I was telling her those things. I wonder if she's asleep now.

"Y/N?" I whisper careful to not wake her up if she is sleeping. No answer. "Y/N?" I say again just to make sure. No answer.

I smile at my phone. She's asleep now. "Goodnight babygirl, sweet dreams."

*Call ended*
