When Jimin grabbed Jae's hand, she was surprised to say the least, but his smile made her forget. It was dazzling, and above all, contagious. She couldn't help but blush, and she didn't realize that Jimin saw it. They had been walking for a while, and she realized they were getting closer to a road once she heard the sound of cars zooming by.
She looked ahead and saw Yoongi walking as if he was by himself, his black hair bouncing with every step he took. She couldn't help but wonder what was going on in his head. She wished she could read minds like they could. She wanted to know why he was so adamant on being this way with her. Jimin seemed to notice that she was thinking hard about it when he stopped tugging her along and let go of her hand. "So, that was nice of Jin to carry you earlier." he said, smirking.
Jae blinked. "Uh, yeah...it was. He's really nice." she said, smiling. Jimin laughed, flaunting his radiant smile and Jae looked at him, still smiling. "What's so funny?" he covered his mouth to stifle the laughter as she saw Yoongi slightly looking over his shoulder, to see what was happening behind him. "You're just so unbelievably cute, it's incredible." he said, looking right in her eyes.
Jae looked down at the ground and tried to play it off, but it felt like her face was on fire. That made him laugh, and he continued to tease her. "Hey Yoongi, if you're hungry there's a bright red tomato right here!" he yelled. "No thanks." he said dryly, but Jimin just kept on laughing and Jae lightly hit Jimin's arm. "You're mean." she said softly. However, if she was being honest with herself, she enjoyed the teasing. It felt like they had known each other for years instead of days.
A few more playful banters between her and Jimin, and they found themselves in front of a road, with occasional cars passing at high speeds. They slid down the little hill that led down to the street, careful not to slide right into it. Jae was taking everything in, the long road, the small diner that was across the street, the people inside, laughing and smiling with their loved ones, it was all something she had never seen before.
This was another reason she wanted to come. She wanted to explore every part of the world while she could. She must have been staring at everything for some time, because Yoongi's voice cut through her thoughts, "Hey, what are you all googly eyed about?" Jae wasn't expecting him to even talk to her, so the answer to the question didn't come right away. He raised his eyebrows, waiting for an answer. "I just-um-I've never really traveled anywhere before so I'm just taking everything in." she said, looking down.
There was a moment of silence between the three of them, and Yoongi spoke again, "One of us should stay here, in case things get...you know. I don't expect this little diner will cause any problems but, you never know." he said crossing his arms.
Jae peared at the entrance to the diner to look for an anti hybrid sign. While she wasn't able to go to many places, she remembered back in her town there were a few places that didn't allow hybrids to come inside at all. She didn't see one on the door, but that didn't lessen her suspicion. Yoongi sighed, "Jimin, just stay here, I'll go with her. I'm the only one who knows what everyone wants."
Jimin nodded, and gave Jae a thumbs up and mouthed "good luck" she could barely send him a nod before Yoongi grabbed her arm and dragged her across the street. His hands were warm, and while they gripped her tight, it didn't hurt. Once they had gotten across, Yoongi received a few stares from people coming out of the diner, but he didn't pay any attention. He opened the door for Jae, and gruffly said, "After you."
She entered, and Yoongi followed right after. While it wasn't insanely busy inside, she could tell they got good business, the servers bustling and chatting with people with genuine smiles and her mouth watered when she caught a glimpse of the chefs in the kitchen and the cisp sound of sizzling. Her trance was broken by Yoongi's nudge. "Hurry up, people are staring." he said. She could tell he was getting uncomfortable, and she didn't blame him. The lady behind the counter was looking at him like he was a dead cockroach. She had a lot of wrinkles and she had so much makeup on she could join the circus. Time to put on your mask Jae.
