Y/n's POV
When the film ends finally, my eyes blink in the bright lights that seem to shine directly into my face. A collective decision is made that we should eat food. I hadn't noticed I was hungry until now, and I hoped none of the members noticed my stomach growl, muffled by my arms, wrapped around myself protectively.
Remembering Jimin's arms around me now, I am feeling exposed with the light turned back on, and I wriggle gently out of his grasp. Somewhere in the back of my mind, my thoughts are shouting at me to stay there in those arms I have longed to be in for so long, but I know that it is not appropriate right now.
I make eye contact with Hobi while moving out of Jimin's touch and he smiles his sunshine smile at me, his eyes curious, but his mouth shut. Smiling back, feeling embarrassment creep its way into my body, I scrunch my nose in his direction by way of acknowledgement. He giggles silently and scrunches his nose back adorably, seeming to understand this newfound body language between us instantly.
"What do you guys want?" Jin turns to the rest of us, his face serious when it comes to food. I don't want to be the one to decide, so I wait for someone else to answer, ignoring the rumbling in my stomach and the inability I have to eat spicy food. "Panda Express!" Taehyung exclaims excitedly. "Is that ok with everyone?" Jin says and everyone nods obediently back after seeing Tae's almost childlike enthusiasm.
Before the food arrives, Tae turns to me and whispers quietly into my ear, making me giggle slightly with the tickling feeling of his warm breath in my ear. "Have you ever had Panda Express?" He whispers, his voice barely audible as though this is top secret. I smile warmly, trying to remain calm and not fangirl at his cuteness.
"No, I'm afraid I haven't, but I'm sure it's amazing if you like it so much!" I watch his face light up like a child at Christmas at my honest reply. "Thank you! I am sure you will love it!" He giggles, bouncing up and down energetically, his boxy smile stretching across his handsome face.
He then proceeds to show me pictures of Yeontan on his phone. The little fluffball of a dog was so heartwarming that I couldn't stop myself from awing at every picture. Taehyung laughed happily at my affection and sighs, "Maybe I can show you Yeontan in real life one day, I think he'd like you."
This suggestion makes my heart beat crazily in my chest and the pure innocence of Taehyung's face at this moment makes a smile reach all the way across my face, physically hurting the muscles there. "That would be lovely," I say politely, sure my eyes are sparkling with joy, hoping my fangirling isn't too evident. The doorbell rings and Namjoon runs to get the door.
Jimin's POV
When the lights are turned back on, I realise that y/n has frozen in place like a deer caught in headlights. Her shyness and self-awareness make my heart warm, the way it does when a small animal is slowly learning to trust you.
Carefully, she moves out of my arms, her heat and comfort leaving me with a cold, empty space and I pout to myself, slightly upset. Y/n is so comfy to hug, she is the perfect shape and size to mould right into my chest, feeling her back move against my chest as I breathe, and for me to hold her in my arms.
At the mention of food, I watch y/n's face light up like a lightbulb in a dark room and hear a faint rumble from her stomach. Her face then turns to a tomato red, looking almost as though she might explode from her embarrassment. I smile to myself, amused. This girl is too cute.
Jungkook's POV
The title credits roll, the lights turning back on, temporarily blinding my eyes. Rather than watching the film, I had been watching y/n. Her reactions had been amusing, especially at the romantic or action-filled scenes. I would see her bite her lip or open her eyes wide in shock and I couldn't help but find it funny.
The only thing that had irritated me was Jimin's arms encompassing her. Jealousy rolled in tides over my body with the strength of ocean waves, but I had to fight the urge to show my discomfort. To my relief, y/n left his arms as soon as the lights turned on. However, the dismay on Jimin's face was suspicious.
Hobi's POV
I watch y/n as she moved out of Jimin's arms quietly, she looks almost ashamed to be revealed in the lights. Maybe she is worried about what we think about her. I guess she thinks we believe she is just here purely to try and get into a relationship with one of us. I don't know about the others, but I certainly know that I don't think that of her.
Halfway through the film, I had noticed y/n move into Jimin's arms. She had been so frightened and Jimin just happened to be there to catch her. Lucky. I bet if I had sat there, she would have done the same thing to me. I was jealous of course, but we'd only met her today, there was no point in getting upset.
Y/n and I make eye contact, and although it catches me off-guard, I make sure to shine a smile her way. I want to keep y/n happy and comfortable, I would hate for her to think about her insecurities right now. To my delight, she scrunches her nose at me adorably and I laugh gently, my heart feeling light in my chest. Scrunching my nose back, I realise how easily this girl has made a connection with me. I wonder what will happen now.
Taehyung's POV
When Jin asked what we wanted to eat, I knew right away what the answer had to be. Of course, my favourite food choice was the only thing I would allow. After all, I know everyone else likes the food too so I am not entirely selfish.
"Panda Express!" I shouted encouragingly and when Jin asked if everyone else was alright with my choice, I tried my best to imitate a puppy and thankfully they agreed. It was a dirty trick, but it worked and nothing was going to stop me from having my Panda Express. It is always fun seeing how I can push people into doing things my way. Well, to a safe extent anyway. I don't wish to use any power I may have in malice.
I turn to y/n and ask if she has ever had Panda Express. She says that she hasn't but she trusts my decision. Even this one simple compliment is enough for my mind to go blank. It is almost as though the cogs in my brain just stopped turning, my thoughts freezing in place, trying to process what she had just said.
After recovering, I thanked her and assured her that she would love it. I hope she loves it as much as me because that would be one more thing that we had in common. After what I have already learnt about her, I want to know more about what makes us similar and what makes her different. What makes y/n her.
Knowing that girls normally have a soft spot for cute animals, and wanting y/n to keep talking to me, I pull out my phone to show her pictures of Yeontan. I love that dog dearly and seeing the absolute delight on y/n's face as she giggles at Tannie's pics makes me like her even more.
Dropping a hint subtly, I suggest her meeting Yeontan in person. I watch as y/n registers what I have just said and she says that it's a lovely idea, her voice seeming to have adopted a slight waver again. Something that always makes its way into her voice when she is being complimented or centre of attention, I have noticed.
My mind wanders, thinking of walking Yeontan in the nearby park, with y/n on my arm. It is such a lovely thought that I almost don't hear the doorbell ring with the food delivery. Almost.
