The Magician || Jinkook

Jin

I put on my best frown as Jimin and I start nearing the site Taehyung told us about. It's a big outdoor stage not too far from the college campus and apparently the circus department do annual shows here. I didn't even know there was a circus department at our school, much less that they do free magic shows. Jimin made fun of me for not knowing, but it was pretty obvious he had no clue either until Taehyung told him about it.

Honestly, Taehyung isn't that bad judging from the few times I've met him, but just the fact that he's Jimin's boyfriend makes me dislike him. He's all Jimin ever talks about nowadays. I'm at my limit of how much "Taehyung is so fucking hot and good in bed" I can take before I go insane, and that's saying a lot considering it's only been two weeks. I thought they'd have broken up by now, but apparently not. That's why I'm forced to go to this stupid magic show. I wish they'd stop making me thirdwheel already.

"At least try to look happy to be here," Jimin says without even looking at me because he's so busy texting with his stupid boyfriend.

"But I'm not. Magic shows are so dumb that barely kids can enjoy them. Anyone can figure out how they get the coin in the water bottle."

"Oh yeah? How do they do it then?" he asks with a smug face.

"I dunno but I can probably figure it out if I really want to."

"Doubt."

"I could! I can just look it up online."

"Sure, but they don't to those kind of basic tricks here, or so I've been told. I think even you will be amazed if you give it a real chance."

I simply huff at him in response as we enter the audience area. I walk towards some chairs in the back, but Jimin grabs my arm and pulls me towards the front, forcing me to sit down at the very first row.

"Why here? Let someone who actually cares sit here instead."

"I care and you're gonna sit with me," Jimin responds. "Taehyung has already reserved these seats for us." I genuinely don't think Jimin can go two minutes without mentioning Taehyung. It's so annoying.

I sit with my legs crossed while trying to look as uninterested as I possibly can. I want everyone who looks at me to know that I'm not amused to be here at a kids' show. The seats behind us slowly start filling up and I'm surprised at how many people actually came to see this garbage. Must be friends from school they've forced to come. I see some people behind the curtains getting ready and my heart almost stops when I see Mr. Bun run past while wearing a long black cape.

What are the fucking odds of seeing him here? Actually wait, does that mean he goes to my school? I guess that would make sense considering I've seen him with Taehyung before. I always thought he was a clown, so figuring out he's in the circus department makes a lot of sense. It also makes me even more unhappy to be here. I was trying to avoid him goddammit. I haven't been to the gym in like two weeks because of him. I still have his ugly shirt at home too.

A couple minutes later a shorter man steps up on stage wearing the same kind of stupid cape Mr. Bun had. He holds a mic in one hand and the audience quiets down when they see him. He must be one of Taehyung's classmates or something. He reminds me a bit of a cat.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this years magic show!" The audience whistles and claps and I really don't understand their extremely enthusiastic reaction. "We have lots of things to show you today and we hope you'll enjoy yourselves to the fullest. There will be a little break after about an hour where you can go ahead and buy some drinks and snacks from our lovely classmates over there. With that being said, let's get started with the magic! Get ready to be amazed!"
