A/N: Sigh he's so pretty

~Two Weeks Later~

"ASK HER OUT ALREADY!"

You groan as Jin turns red, the two of you walking down the campus together. It's early morning, so not many are around. Most are already in their classes, the others strolling around are probably late and don't have the motivation to move any faster. You can't say you blame them. College kids rarely have the motivation to wake up early.

His hand is in yours, you dramatically swinging his hand back and forth because why the hell not? "I don't know... she doesn't seem that interested." "How about this, I'll ask her what she thinks about you. Woah, it's almost like I'm the best friend of both of you or something," you say, using your free hand to gesture that your mind just got blown.

"Ha. I get your point," Jin replies with a pout. You snicker, giving him a nudge, "I'm only joking Jinnie. You can take your time, don't let me pressure you. But don't wait too long, I need my two favorites to be in each other's beds soon." Jin turns red, but his embarrassed state quickly turns into a smirk. "So... Chaeyoung and I are your two favorites? Not Jimin and Yoongi?" "Oh no," you mumble.

"I can easily tell him that-" "And I can easily tell Chaeyoung that you have a massive crush on her. Blackmail me, I blackmail you Kim. This 'friendship' thing runs too deep... you know too much," you interrupt, giving him a cheeky smile. He pouts once more, "damn you're good." "That's why we make such a good team. The adventures of Kim and L/N. Sounds like a great TV show. When does the filming start?"

Jin laughs, "whenever Jungkook wants it to." Oh... Jungkook. He's a sour subject. "That's right, he's really dead set on film?" you ask, Jin nodding. "It makes sense, he's always editing videos. I wouldn't be surprised if he's a secret vlogger or something." You take in his words, slightly pouting but not meaning to.

"Sorry, I know he's a rough subject now." You shake him off, "it's not your fault, he's still your friend." "He should be yours too. I don't know why he's acting like this." "I think he's mad at me for not talking to him about it but... is that really my fault? I'm genuinely asking, I don't know," you reply with a sigh.

Jungkook stopped talking to you two weeks ago when he found out that you knew about his crush on you. He claimed that you acted immaturely and should've talked to him about it. But truthfully, you like to think it wasn't your secret to know. Jin spilled accidentally since, well, Jungkook wasn't gonna do it.

"It's not your fault sweetheart, you didn't want to make things awkward," he coos, sensing your distress. "But still... why didn't I bring it up at any point? I knew, shouldn't I have told him?" "It wasn't your secret to tell, you didn't even mean to know. I'm sorry I told you, this is all my fault..."

You stop him, placing a hand on his shoulder. "No, don't blame yourself. You didn't know either. You thought he confessed, please don't blame yourself." Jin frowns but nods at your determined eyes. "We can fix this. Jungkook just needs some time to think, then we can talk to him and fix all of this."

Jin takes a moment, then nods. "You know what? You're right, we can fix this easily. We have to be upfront and honest." You hum, "that's the spirit, I would know, I'm practically a cheerleader now." Jin laughs, "speaking of, your dance performances keep getting better. I'm really excited for your performance tonight. Jimin's been gushing over you nonstop."

You softly smile, thinking about Jimin's precious eyes. He's beautiful, isn't he? "I'm excited too, everything's been going so smoothly. Hopefully Chaeyoung and you get together already. You can't take your eyes off her." Jin pouts, "I hope so too, if I can ever gain the courage to talk to her alone."

Speak of the devil, your phone rings, you taking it and seeing Chaeyoung's contact. "Alright, here's your chance." "My chance?" Jin asks with a bewildered expression. "Your chance. Answer and say you're with me but I'm in the bathroom and asked you to hold my stuff. Put her on speaker and ask her to come over after the game tonight."

You shove the phone in his hand, giving him a comforting smile. "And if it ever gets awkward, I'll pretend like I just came back from the bathroom. Now hurry, it's about to go to voicemail." Figuring there's no arguing with your plan, he gulps and answers the phone, doing as you said by putting it on speaker.

"Heeey Y/N, I have something really, really important to tell you. It's about Jin." Jin's eyes widen, so do yours. You nudge him, giving him a look that says 'go get your girl'. "What about me?" Jin asks, swallowing his nerves. There's a pause. "I- uh... Jin, I could have sworn I called Y/N, I'm sorry-" "You did," Jin interrupts with a nervous laugh, "I'm with her right now, she went to use the bathroom and asked me to hold her stuff. Everything okay?"

Chaeyoung returns his nervous laugh, "oh uh yeah, everything's great." "Sooo you don't have anything to tell me?" "No! No, not at all." Aw, cute. "Well, I have something to tell you," Jin replies, starting to gain more confidence. "Oh that's um... cool. What is it?" This poor girl is probably the color of a tomato by now. "After the game tonight, I wanted to ask if you could come over for dinner. I have some extra chicken breasts I've been meaning to cook and Namjoon wants to go out to the library tonight after the game. I know, pretty lame, but it'll give us a chance to uh... y'know..." "Is this a date Mr. Kim?" Chaeyoung asks rather confidently. Yes you go Chae! You're so proud of her.

"I... do you want it to be?" She laughs, "I asked you first Seokjin." He sheepishly smiles despite the fact that she can't see it, "yeah. Fuck it. Yeah I do. I want it to be a date." She goes quiet for a few beats, and those few seconds are the most excruciating seconds of your life. Okay, that's an exaggeration, but this is tense!

"Okay. I'll be there. And Jin?" He hums. "Took you long enough." Without another word, she hangs up. "So I guess she wanted to tell me that she likes you," you say with a laugh, watching as Jin stares at the screen in shock. "I just got a date," he whispers in disbelief. You suck in a deep breath, "JIN'S GETTING LAAAAID!"

He throws his free hand over your mouth, you giggling at his embarrassment. Without even thinking, you lick his hand, causing him to recoil in disgust. "Not the smooth hands! Ugh! Ew! I have cooties now!" "Sorry, don't blame me, I got them from Jimin," you reply with a cute shrug, giving him a soft smile.

Jin takes a moment, then, he returns the smile. Before you can process what's happening, he pulls you into a hug. You gasp, amazed by his sudden affection, but you eventually relax and hug him back. "Thank you," he mumbles. Your smile widens, "anything for my two best friends... now..." "Now?" Jin asks, pulling back to meet your eyes. You give him a fake stern glare. "Take care of my best friend Mr. Kim... otherwise I'm sending Jimin after your ankles." Jin stares at you, blinking, then he sighs. "Y/N?" "Hm?" "Never change."

~Basketball~

After your performance, you decided to sit right behind the benches your boy and his team uses. They're playing right now in the last period, only a minute left to go. So far your team is winning by ten points, but that can quickly change. In fact, it's changing right now. The other team somehow manages to juke out both Jimin and Yoongi, scoring a three-pointer. You bite your nails, something you haven't done in a while, watching the match closely. Come on Jimin... you can do it, just a little bit longer.

The teams go back and forth, the clock ticking down to the wire as the score ties up. There's ten seconds left. Jimin manages to get the ball, the entire audience hopping to their feet. Jimin dribbles it down the way, dodging the many attacks from other players. Six seconds. "GO JIMIN!" you yell, bouncing up and down. For a brief moment, he meets your eyes... and he smiles. You smile back, the boy seemingly coming alive because of that one gesture. Four seconds. He gets closer to the basket, one of the opposing players charging him. Before the opponent can block his shot, he throws the ball, the enemy landing right on him and taking him to the ground. However, it doesn't matter since the ball soars through the basket as the time beeps out. The entire home side cheers, the cheerleaders pulling out an elaborate routine as your team celebrates.

You laugh, watching as they hug each other after a well-deserved win. Your eyes search for Jimin, your heart instantly stopping as soon as you find him. The opponent is kneeling next to him, trying to help him up, but he ends up crying out in pain and falling back to the ground, his leg bent in a weird angle.

"Jimin!" you shout, running onto the court and not caring about the ones who try and stop you. "Jimin," you say, rushing over and kneeling next to him. He has tears dripping down his face, panting as he opens his eyes to meet yours. "Hey, hey, what's wrong?" you ask softly. His hand reaches out, and you take it. "What hurts?" you ask, him using his free hand to point to his left leg. "Make way, make way!" a male voice calls, the coach quickly coming into view. You didn't even realize you had tears flowing down your face until Jimin reaches up with his other hand and wipes one of them away.

"Hey... look at me," you whisper, listening to him softly cry. His eyes meet yours, the pain his hold breaking your heart. "It's okay, it's okay," you coo, giving his hand a squeeze and a kiss, "you're gonna be okay." He shakily nods, giving you a small, sad smile despite his pain. "We need to get him out of here," the coach mutters, you agreeing. "I hate to ask you this but..." You nod, getting his meaning immediately.

You give Jimin's hand one last kiss. "I'll be right next to you the whole time," you tell him, backing away so the coach can do his thing. Jimin's eyes never leave yours, even as the coach asks him questions and calls for help. You sniffle, trying not to cry too much but it's hard when he's in so much pain. Please Jimin...

Please be okay...
