Third Person's POV

Jimin stopped walking when he saw Namjoon. He was leaning against his car as if waiting for someone but Jimin kept walking and walked passed him, but he had to speak causing Jimin to stop.

"He left first, you're coming with me." He informed the younger. Okay, Jimin tell himself and walked over but he spoke again. He's a nuisance, Jimin said at the back of his head.

"Come with me." Jimin stared at him and shook his head, no need, in his mind. But Namjoon didn't catch that because he opened the car door.

"Look I am not doing this because I want to, okay? Jungkook asked me so come on." It echoed as he looked down on Jimin, the latter raised his eyebrows, and this is my fault? Jimin asked himself.

Jimin stick his tongue out to piss him off and he runs away from him.

Jimin is breathing heavily catching his breath as he steps inside their Uni. Someone suddenly offered him water, Jimin didn't think twice and took it immediately.

"Since you accepted my help I have some questionsㅡ" Jimin suddenly spit out what he was drinking on the said man's face. He heard him groan in disgust and realized that Taehyung was in front of him and he was the one who gave Jimin the bottled water.

"Jimin, what the fuck?" Jimin gasped and took a step away.

Taehyung quickly took off his handkerchief and wiped his face. He harshly threw his handkerchief and then he approached Jimin closely. Will this person hurt me? Try me, Jimin thought, he will make sure Taehyung wouldn't be able to get close to his older brother.

"Hey! Hey!" Jimin heard Jaebum's voice, and then the three of them stood in front of him shielding him from the threat, which happen to be Taehyung.

To this day Jimin still do not know the intention of these three, isn't it too early if he conclude that their intentions may not be bad? They were always there but they never try to harm the younger.

"Oh, what we have here? The three stupid bullies!" Taehyung spat out, raising a brow, annoying the three.

"Bully? You're the one who's about to throw hands at Jimin!" Jackson shouted to him. Jimin looked at them silently, observing and mocking them internally.

"Fighting? Excuse me? Am I fighting him?" Taehyung asked, "Look, if you have nothing to do with your useless life, just get lost." He said to them and Jin-young clenched his jaw.

"Useless? Says the one who loses the game yesterday! Losers! Worthless! Players!" Jin-young barks, Jackson and Jaebum laugh at it. Are they really adults? They sounds like a kid just fighting over a toy seriously the whole conversation are stupid.

"Losers? Worthless?" Taehyung was about to attack and hit one of the three when Namjoon suddenly intervened. Once again he enters the scene, Jimin want to leave because of him but he want to see what will happen next. Jimin doesn't know but out of the blue, he suddenly cares.

"Taehyung, you need to chill." Namjoon told his friend before he gazes at them, stopping as he looks at the younger who happens to be looking at Namjoon as well. Jimin glared at him when he stared for a bit long with that Namjoon turn his gaze back to Taehyung.

"You have no idea what's going on so if you could, just leave! Leave me and my Brother in Law alone." Taehyung groaned giving them a pointed look, they just laughed at him.

"Brother in law? Why? Are you married to Seokjin-hyung?" Jin-young challenge him, Jimin nodded his head and thought, that's right— but his expression immediately dropped and quickly looked at Jin-young in astonishment.

"As if Seokjin-hyung will date a loser like you!" Jackson blurt out.

"That's right." Jaebum agreed to his other friends. Jimin frowned deeply.

Jimin doesn't know, but he was suddenly taken aback. Jimin had an assumption before that Seokjin might have paid them to befriend him, but he has no solid proof for it. Why does it feel that there are other reasons why they know his brother?

"Hey, Jimin-ah, do you know them?" Taehyung questioned, that is also equally confuse as he was.

"You could've asked what's our relationship instead, dumbass!" Jackson spill out and Jimin's eyes widens at that.

What is this? What are they talking about? Relationships? What relationship do we have? I barely know them? Are they trolling around? But why do they speak like they literally know everything about us?

Looking at both Jaebum and Jin-young, Jimin stared at them eyes begging to be answered. Jin-young patted Jackson's back and the latter looked at him. They looked at each other for a moment and then left the place without glancing at Jimin as if they are avoiding looking at him.

Jimin need to confront his Hyung later, I need answers.

"Are you okay?" Namjoon asked Jimin, he now holding both of Jimin's shoulders. Jimin tilt his head up and their eyes met. Namjoon stares at him in concern, his stares reminds Jimin a lot of Jungkook, he could see that he truly cares but Jimin hated him, that's the point.

Jimin pulled his brows together, Namjoon soon became aware of what he was doing. He removed his hands from holding the smaller as if he was burnt and took a step backward. Jimin looked at Taehyung behind him that was already staring at him, Jimin turned his gaze away and rushed to leave them.

As he walk along, the younger's mind still occupied with what he heard earlier but Jimin shouldn't be worrying about it, obviously he can't answer his own question, he will meet his Hyung later anyway but it's hard to ignore, it's truly bugging him.

Jimin need distraction.

Jimin stopped in his track when suddenly the distraction that he was asking for came up. Someone cover his eyes with one hand from behind. Suddenly his anxiety subsided when his familiar scent touch his nose, Jimin bit his lower lip and reach out Jungkook's hand to pull it down.

Jungkook quickly steps forward and faces him, "Good Morning, Jimin-hyung." He greets him, Jimin only smile in return.

"I'll bring you to your class." Jimin wave his hands no, rejecting his offer. Jungkook furrowed his brows, doesn't appreciate the rejection, Jimin pulled out his phone.

"No, ty."

"Why does your thank you came out half-hearted?" Jungkook asked Jimin, the older smile widen at what he said. Jimin think he was just joking because he just used an abbreviation.

Jimin changed it and showed him, "No, thank you ☺"

"Why do I feel like you're not happy? Just admit that you really want me to walk you but you're just shy." Jimin shoot him a glare.

"You're so cute when you're annoyed, how can you expect me not to continue teasing you if you are like that." He said with a laugh.

"You have your own class so bring yourself to your class!" He was reading Jimin's message with a grin.

"That's why I'll walk you first then I'll head to my class, sounds good?" Jimin smiled softly defeated. There's no use to continue the bickering, Jungkook guided him through his first class.

"I'm sorry if I didn't wait for you earlier." Jimin shook his head, he didn't even have to ask for an apology for that.

"Again," Jungkook breaths out as they go inside, "There are no other students besides you." He gave Jimin a pointed look, Jimin ignored it and walked over to sit down.

Then he took a chair and sat there, he sat facing Jimin. He crosses his arms over his chest and arched his brow as he always does, it's attractive and pleasant to look at and to be honest Jimin always get butterflies inside his stomach when he does that.

"Namjoon text me earlier saying that you annoyed him and you ran away." When he said that Jimin suddenly felt ashamed but he acted as if it was nothing.

"Why did you do that?" He asked the older, Jimin shrug his shoulders. Jimin doesn't want to tell him that he dislike Namjoon, they are cousins why would he do that.

"Do you know each other?" Jimin shake his head in response.

"Really," Jungkook said in a low tone and chuckle, as his voice was very pleasant to hear, Jimin touch the back of his neck and caresses it. Jimin knew he like him but does he need to like every part of him?

"Are you sure you never met before?" Jimin collect himself and took a deep breath.

"I know him. They are popular. What happened in the parking lot that was the first interaction we had." Jungkook smiled after reading.

"That was the first? Interesting. " He simply said. Jimin raised his eyebrow.

"Anyway, I have to leave, I'll see you later."

______________________________________________________________________________________

Jimin closed his notes and put them in his sling bag. They had just finished their last subject and he's excited because they are going home together. When Jimin got out of his classroom, he immediately saw Jungkook's dangling figure. Jimin smiled as soon as he saw him, walking slowly toward him, Jimin didn't know what was going through his mind and cover Jungkook's eyes with both his hands.

Jungkook chuckles, "I know it's you." He said, Jimin smile widened, Jimin retreated and Jungkook faces him smiling.

"You have small hands easy to guess." Jungkook teases, Jimin glared at him and he messed up Jimin's hair, the smaller slap his hand but he just laughed at him afterwards

"Let's go." He said at the same time he wrapped his arm around the smaller's shoulder, Jimin secretly smiled because of it.

"Before I forgot, Taehyung said, your brother invited him for dinner." Jimin's face drop and that is because he remembered he has questions to ask to his older brother. Jimin can't point it out but it doesn't feel right.

"You're suddenly sad." Jimin didn't even notice that they had stop walking. Jimin turn to look at the younger; he is looking at him with a playful gaze.

"If you're thinking you might just be a third wheel, don't worry because we're with you." Jimin scoffed.

"Don't even try to hide it." He said removing his arm around Jimin before pointing his index finger on the smaller accusing him, Jimin frowned.

Now there's one thing Jimin doesn't like about Jungkook. He always confuses the smaller, he always point out things that he doesn't know, things that he has no idea especially when Taehyung and Seokjin-hyung are involved.

Jungkook boop Jimin's nose and grins.

"It's a joke, easy Hyung." Jimin rolled his eyes and suddenly he laughed out loud. Jimin shook his head in annoyance and walk again, and Jungkook chased after him and put his arm around Jimin's shoulder.

Jungkook took Jimin to his house after that he left saying that the dinner is later. Jimin saw his brother busy preparing. He is humming a song, swaying his hips a little, obviously excited. Jimin wanted to ask him but it can wait later. Jimin feels like their conversation is not going to be good.

After he had washed the cabbage he was holding, he came to the counter and noticed that Jimin was standing at the kitchen door.

"Hi, little one." He greets and smiles.

"Why did you invite them?" Jimin bomb him with a question. Seokjin mouthed an o, as if he was startled but smiled at the younger shyly.

"I just want to know the rest of your friends, Taehyung mentioned them to me." Jimin could see the hesitancy in his eyes until he sighs and spoke, "... and also, I wanna thank all of them." I frowned.

"For what?"

"Because of them... you are slowly coming back to your old self." He trailed off carefully and Jimin's the one left shocked at what he said. "Please don't take this in negative way." Seokjin continue.

"And you really think that's because of them?" Jimin asked him tone curious.

"Why? Is it not?" Instead of answering him, Jimin excuses himself, "I'm going to my room now, Hyung. Let's talk later. " Jimin said smiling, he want to show him that he's not angry or annoyed because it, afraid that Seokjin might misinterpret. Seokjin nodded immediately and smiled.

Jimin entered his room, drop his sling bag and sat down on the bed thinking about what he had said.

Maybe he's right, I'm slowly turning to my old self.

But it's not because of them. . .

It's because of Jungkook, alone.
