24. Twenty Four

"So... Here we are..." Jimin said as he stopped in front of Ryujin's house.

Come on, what are you doing? Ask her out you've thought about this for a while.

"I was thinking, we've been dating for months now"

There we go..

"Man it's real cold" Jimin interrupted himself.

"Do you perhaps want to come in? I don't think my parents are home yet" she said and he considered.

That would be the perfect opportunity, you only kissed her once so far. Don't you like her?

That is a great question.

"Oh I wouldn't want to impose myself, it's just that I've been a bit sick lately" he lied.

Looking at Ryujin, he really thought she was pretty and very nice, but does he see himself spending his days with her and loving her the ways she deserves.

"Do you need any medicine?"

She was nice, too nice. He really doesn't want to end up hurting her because he knows he won't be able to return her feelings at some point.

"I have some at home, I'm sorry, I think I need to go" he said and she nodded, a look of disappointment appearing on her face when he kissed her cheek and not her lips like last time.

"Get well soon" she weakly said and watched him leave.

"We will be here for dinner tonight, and then go to the party" Jimin explained and Jungkook nodded.

"So when did you say you wanted to be grounded instead?" Jimin's mom asked.

"Next weekend"

"You're hearing this Jungkook, right? You're a witness, if he doesn't stay home that weekend he won't be allowed to leave his room for a month" she said and he nodded.

"Crystal clear" Jungkook replied and she sighed.

"Alright I guess you can go to that new year's party then" she said and Jimin punched the air.

"You will be there too right? Keep an eye on him please" she added looking at the older boy.

"Of course Jen, as always" he smiled and she nodded.

"You're lucky he's here, I can't say no to him" she said and Jimin chuckled.

"Thanks Jungkook" he smiled, and the taller mirrored it while walking out the house. He followed him to the porch and leaned on the railing.

Say something.
Why?
Just do it.

"Where are you going?" he asked.

"I have someone to see" Jungkook replied, opening the car door.

"Is it Lisa?"

Way to be nosy Jimin..

"Yeah, why" The taller stood with his car door open.

Never mind just shut up..

"Just asking, good luck" he said, and only after going back to his room did he realized that sounded weird. Why would he wish him good luck, unless he knew something about them.

"I'm a dumbass"

New Years Eve was very chill at first. Jimin helped his mom with the guests and everything. The dinner was delicious and the mood was immaculate.
