Chapter Twenty: Free Therapy Maybe

You're already awake when the alarm rings. Your arms lazily snake their way up to the alarm on the side table, as you procrastinate on getting up from the bed. You're exhausted.

It's Monday. You should be way more excited. Today, You're gonna start working at BoomBox. You were terrified. Terrified that you would screw it all up. Scared that this new life that you were entering was not made for you . The very thought had kept you up all night.

You hope that fear helps you be better at what you do. Yoongi had once told you, the very same thing. It was the day before his first day at his new studio, and he had confided in you his fears. The way he was always ready to speak his mind to you had made you feel special and happy that he trusted you and the subtle relief on his face was always a good sign. He had looked you in the eyes then, holding your shoulders with both his hands. You don't think you both of you were ever able to solve his problems but instead of his usual composed and cold face, you had seen only fear.

"What if I can't do well?", he had said.

"What if you can?", you had said with a smile to reassure him. "You could end up doing very well, ya know."

"I just hope my fear drives me to work harder and not make mistakes.", he had said.

"I'm pretty sure it will. You should trust yourself."

You should trust yourself. You keep repeating this in your mind as you get ready and prepare for school. You were gonna work there part-time as you still had school. There was some relief in knowing that you'll see the guys at school. They were a great distraction.

Both of you reach school soon enough, the bus ride not really helping. But you were feeling much better as you weren't late. both of you get off the bus, with you hoping to God that school helps you distract yourself, if not help your nerves.

You stare down at your hand in Song-i's as both of you made your way through the crowd in the hallway. Your mind wanders once again (surprise, surprise) as the two of you reach your lockers. You didn't feel Song-i leave your hand, just as you didn't notice the stare directed your way. A hand casually sweeped your shoulder and you jerked back, surprised.

"Hey", Jimin said, his eyes crinkled in a smile. "You okay?"

You nodded, but both of you both know not really.

"You can tell me anything, ya know? I'm kinda the free therapist of those two.", he tilts his head to point at Jungkook and Taehyung.

"I thought that would be Taehyung."

"Well, things are not always as they seem, young one.", he said, bopping your nose for effect. You swatted his hand away playfully, smiling a little.

"So.....", Jimin mused, "Shoot."

"You know I'm kinda into music, right?"

"That just makes you like a thousand times cooler.", Jimin said, his eyes widening in interest.

You chuckled. "Yeah well, I'm supposed to be interning at this super cool place for aspiring music producers. I'm just worried I won't do well.", you finally let out.

You hadn't told this to Song-i. you're supposed to, but considering that ever since she knew Yoongi got back and she hasn't stopped fussing over him, you were happy keeping it to yourself. It's kinda funny seeing her call him every two minutes, asking him when he would be free, whether he had eaten, whether he was gonna have dinner with them.

You hadn't met Yoongi since the restaurant incident. You really didn't know why, but seeing him was kinda hard. It isn't complicated or anything, just hard. He left and accepting him back into your life would be hard. You didn't know who he was. At least not now.

You get pulled into reality again as Jimin starts speaking.

"Hey, don't worry. you might not know whether you're good at this or not, but you do know how amazing you are. I'm sure you can do it. You got the internship, didn't ya? That's a big deal in itself. Now all you gotta do is rock some of that (Y/N) charm and everyone will be whipped.", Jimin said, his voice softened just like his face. His words felt like a warm hug, weirdly. They didn't magically vanquish all your worries but having someone say that felt good.

"Thanks, Jimin.", you said, with a small smile. And then you hugged him, just because you wanted to. He wasn't even surprised. He automatically put his arms around you , almost as a reflex. The action seemed so comforting that you didn't really want to let go but you did anyway.

The two of you pulled apart, but instead of the awkward silence that you were expecting, all you got was a smile.

"I guess you needed that, huh?", he whispered lightly, before walking off to his next class, while you were left behind with three people gawking at you with questions imprinted in their eyes, while a girl in the corner of the hall stared blankly at what unfolded before her.
