pickpocket ↞ jenmin

"you have the looks, darling"

IF JENNIE HAD A CAMERA, she would have undoubtedly taken a picture of Jimin's face the moment she said that the day's lesson would be on 'Physical contact'.

"Oh come on, you're already 19" she teased "Chill"

He smiled sheepishly. Only If you knew I'm nervous because it's you I'm touching.

Jennie had no idea what he was thinking, but she was extremely pleased seeing his reaction. On a more serious note, she added "You do need to get used to it though, since pickpocketing in crowds usually require physical contact"

He nodded to show he agreed and she smiled "Great! Now lets try a few classic moves"

"The first is the accidental shove" she walked towards him and lightly shoved his side, and he felt something slip out of his backpocket. This definitely had been how he got pickpocketed during the first session, except now thanks to his few weeks of experience, he was able to notice.

"Usually they never notice, but just in case, blend back into the crowd. You noticed though, right?" she paused "You better have, chim"

He nodded grinning.

"The next one is grabbing someone's hand and pretending you meant to grab someone else..." she went on, demonstrating the moves on him.

It wasn't too bad actually. The biggest skill Jimin achieved from the session was how to not get too flustered whenever she touched him, which was an accomplishment by itself.

She made him practise on her and the session ended up taking two hours, which they obviously didn't mind. Towards the end, however, Jennie did something different.

When he thought they were about to part ways, she stopped him "You know Jimin-ah..." she trailed off, looking at him thoughfully.

It was silent for a few moments before she suddenly started walking towards him confidently.

"W-what-" he mumbled, automatically backing up by taking steps backward. Then of course, the cliché part - he backed up into a wall. The wall of the old shop they met behind since barely anyone visited that shop.

She smirked, putting one of her hands against the wall.

"You know what you can do Jimin?"

He shook his head meekly, his mind too muddled up to say anything coherent.

Her smirk widened. She definitely loved her effect.

"You have the looks, darling." she started "You use it for your own good"

Her unblinking cat eyes met his dazed ones "Like this"

Her hand reached up to cup his face, and pushed his bangs gently away. Making sure all his attention was on her, she leaned forward slightly.

Jimin's heartbeat accelerated.

He could feel his face warm up as a thought crossed his mind, shouldn't this be the other way round?

Then, all of a sudden, she retracted just as fast as she had moved in. He stared at her in confusion, cmon you could've just given me a peck or something-

Stop thinking like this Jimin!

"Try and find out what I stole. See ya next week" she chirped, seeming to be unfazed as she walked down.

Little did he know how fast her heart was beating, and how she was scolding herself for doing such a move and looking weird in front of him.

He was too filled with thoughts of what had happened that it was only hours later when he realised what she had taken.

His ear stud.
