Heartstrings

Love. She didn't know what that was. Mira had never been in love before. Sure, she loved her family, and of course, Hana, but falling in love with someone is different. She knew that it was possibly the reason why her book kept getting rejected. However, she did have a few crushes as a student and even as a woman. She thought of the feeling of Seokjin's soft skin against her lips and her stomach did a summersault. A pink tint now spreading across her cheeks.

She had been working on her book for 3 hours now-or rather trying to work on it. She had not written even a letter and still had no idea on how to improve it. She had asked Hana but she was no help. She was as clueless as Mira. So, she called the one person who was her last hope. "Hey, Jinnie!" Mira talked into the phone. "Hey Mimi, everything alright? You sound tired." "Yeah, I'm fine. Uh...you free now?" Mira was desperately hoping he had time. She bit her lip in apprehension. "Yes, actually I am, but we've been instructed not to go out today." Her heart sank at his response. "Oh-okay that's fine, no problem." She said in her best fake cheery voice.

 However, Jin could make out the disappointment in her voice and wanted to do everything in his power to make it go away. "Actually, you know what? You can come over." "C-come over. A-as in to your d-dorm?" Mira asked, shocked. "Yeah, yeah why not. I'll send you the address and I'll tell the staff to let you in." "O-okay thanks Jinnie! I'll be there in 30 minutes." "Yeah yeah, that's cool." He said and cut the phone. Mira sat in her bed for a few minutes, absorbing the fact that she would be visiting BTS's dorm. After her shock subsided a little, she got up to take a shower and get ready.

"Okay guys, listen up, Mira's coming over so-" Jungkook cut Jin off mid-sentence."Mira Noona is coming over?" He says, his eyes wide in excitement. "Yes, Jungkook, she's coming, but she'll be in my room and-" Jin was cut off again, this time by RM "In your room?" He looks at the eldest with a mischievous glint in his eyes. "Yah! Namjoon-ah only you can think of all this stuff. Aish you guys will not let me finish. All I'm saying is treat her properly and don't embarrass me!" Jin finally finishes. At that moment, the doorbell rings.

Jin opens the door to see a pretty face looking up at him. "Hi Jinnie!" She says looking up at him. "Hey, Mimi!" He says back to her. Mira greets each of the guys and Jin drags her to his room, closing the door. "So....Uh...Why did you call me today?" He asks her as he gestures her to sit on his bed. "You wanted to see my manuscript right?" Mira looked up at Jin. "Y-yeah, thanks." She handed him the manuscript. She waited anxiously as he flipped through the pages. Halfway into the book he looks at her. "Well, your story is good." He tells her. "Okay thanks, but.." Mira tells him to continue. "The relationship between the main characters hasn't been described well." He says. "Yeah I know that, but I'm not sure how to improve it. I mean they're supposed to be in love and-" "They're in love?" Jin cuts her off. "Y-yeah. Why?" Mira asks, apprehensive. "It's just that...it doesn't seem like they are. It just feels like they both have a really strong physical attraction towards each other." He replies. "Isn't that sort of what love is...I mean I've never been in love myself so..." Mira says. Jin looks at her with an intense look. 

"Ah..that explains it. Love is not just a physical attraction. Well, love is...complex, its a mixture of many many things." He starts as he looks into her eyes, rather her soul and she didn't dare to look away, listening attentively to each and every word. "Love is a feeling of respect for one another, a feeling of security. Love is having a companion, best friend, lover, partner, sounding board, cheerleader, advisor, and cuddle buddy through every avenue in the journey of life." Jin continues, as his stare deepens and heat radiates from each of their bodies. "Love is the feeling that assures you your partner will be there to support you no matter what you're going through in life and console you when things don't go your way." He pauses. They move closer to each other, sparks igniting from their touching knees.

"Love is vulnerability, you have to open up to your lover completely, display to them a map of your soul. So, to be that open with someone," He says as they lean in now, their faces now so close that she could feel his breath on her face, sending shivers down her spine when he whispers "You need to love yourself." They move closer now, a magnetic pull between them that neither of them wanted to control. Jin looked at her lips and licked his own subconsciously, casting a spell on her that she didn't know how to reverse. Their lips were only inches apart, their brushing noses emitting an energy that none of them had ever before felt in their lives. Mira tilts her head ever so slightly when they hear a loud knock against the door.

"Hyung, Hobi hyung is asking if your pink unicorn pajamas need to be washed" Came Jungkook's loud voice, which dwindles the electricity that had come alive between them. "Uh...Jugkook-ah! Go I told you not to disturb me!" He yells, his face a deep color of crimson. He chuckles when he sees that Mira was in the same state. "Okay hyung! But I was also sent to tell you that we have a meeting with Bang PD-nim in 5 minutes," Jungkook declares. Jin nods at that and looks at Mira. "Ah...I guess I'll have to take your leave now." Jin says with a sad smile. "Ahh, that's no problem Jinnie! Thanks to you I feel inspired today," She returns his smile with a warm one. Jin walked her out of their apartment and they both parted ways. Mira now knew what to write and she was determined to get it done tonight.
