Too Young | Jikook

Jimin passes Jungkook's class on the way to the principal without even noticing it. When he rounds the corner, he hears shoes squeaking against the floor behind him. He turns and sees Jungkook jogging to catch up with him.

"Hey baby. Where are you going?"

Jimin holds his textbook up for Jungkook to see. He watches the color drain from his face. "What the..."

"It was in my locker. My teacher's making me report it or something. You can go back to your class."

Jungkook walks up to him. "Who would do something like this?"

"I mean... I have a pretty good guess..."

He shakes his head. "No. Junghyun wouldn't do this. He's mad at you, but he would never do something like this."

"I don't know. Maybe he would."

Jungkook kisses his forehead. "Are you okay?"

Jimin nods. "Yeah. I was bullied enough for being gay in middle school. I'm used to it by now."

"Jimin, I really don't think it was Junghyun."

"We'll see. The teacher said the principal and I can watch the security camera footage."

"I hope you find whoever it was. If you do, tell me."

Jimin gives him a weak grins and turns back around, continuing on his way to the front office. Jungkook watches him walk away with sad eyes.

Jimin sits with the principal as they review the security camera footage. The principal pauses it when someone crouches down in front of Jimin's locker. "That doesn't look like you."

Jimin squints. He can see that it's a girl and the jacket looks familiar. He's trying to remember where it's from when the principal unpauses the video. The person turns their head and Jimin gulps.

"I don't know the person's name, but I know one of their friends. I saw them at a party and they were wearing that jacket."

"What's their friend's name? We can call them up to identify them."

"Rina Bianchi."

Rina walks into the principal's office with a confused expression. "Hello... You called for me?"

The principal turns and points the to the computer screen. "Do you know who this is?"

Rina walks up and looks at the screen. "Yeah. Gia Romano." She looks over and sees Jimin. Then her eyes fall to the textbook on the desk. "Oh my God..."

The principal looks up Gia's schedule. "Mr. Park, would you like to be here when I call her up?"

"No thank you. I just want to go back to class."

"Alright. You and Miss Bianchi are dismissed."

Jimin stands up. "Thank you." He walks out of the office and Rina follows him. "Hey."

Jimin tries to ignore her but she grabs his shoulder. "You're Jimin, right?"

He gently puhses her hand away and takes a step back. "Yeah..."

"I don't think we've met before."

"We haven't..."

She sighs. "I'm sorry that Gia did that. I'm not gonna lie... I was ranting to her about how I wanted to date Jungkook again and how I was mad that you got him instead, but I didn't think she would do something like that. I don't think you're a bad person or anything and I definitely didn't tell her to do that."

Jimin shrugs. "I didn't think you did. Jungkook told me you were nice and everything..."

"So, we're chill with each other?"

Jimin nods and grins. "Sure."
