Dedicated to my cute and sassy friend, NAMKO-O! Love you lots!!!

Chapter 12 [Y/n]

I waited near the school gate, yet Jimin didn't come out to meet me before going home.

Did he already leave?

Or was he not coming out because of me?

I saw Yoongi running towards me, holding Hoseok's hand. He looked so happy with him that I wish I could capture the moment with a camera.

"Y/n..." Yoongi was panting and handed me his bag. "Ahh... I'm... So... Exhausted..." He breathed hard and Hoseok chuckled beside him.

"See your friend? He isn't even panting. You're growing old already, Uncle!" I teased my brother, and he protested, "Yah! I'm not Uncle... I'm..."

"... Grandpa." Hoseok cut in, and we both laughed more. He looked at him, stunned, but didn't protest. Instead, his cheeks turned red as he said, "Ah, maybe..."

"Meet you tomorrow, Yoongi!" He said cheerfully. Yoongi just nodded with still red cheeks. He came forward and kissed his cheek, which left my brother totally a brighter tomato and I had to cover my mouth to suppress a tease.

I got something to tease him for now... Yay!

After Hoseok left, he turned normal gradually and I thought to tease, "Do your cheeks feel more precious now?"

He glared at me but I could sense his cheeks getting heated. "Yah! Don't tease me!"

And he ran forward, with a blushing smile on his lips. I laughed and followed him on our way home.

But my thought suddenly reminded me. Jimin still didn't come out to meet me.

...

It's Sunday and I woke up early, uncomfortable with the thoughts of the last day.

Will Jimin still avoid me?

I kept my pen down.

Will he hate me now?

I placed my face on my palms.

Jimin... No, I can't lose you... I put my head down.

I had been trying to reach him since I reached home yesterday. He hadn't come active in social media yet and he wasn't even picking up my calls.

I grabbed my phone from my bed and sat down, searching for his dm. For the tenth time today, I checked our chats but he hadn't replied yet. Nor had he even seen.

I sighed, keeping my phone on the side.

Suddenly my phone rang and I picked up, hoping it to be Jimin but it was... Jungkook.

"Jungkook?" I murmured. Sighing again, I received the call.

"Hey kookie!" I said and the name itself brought a smile to my face.

"Hey, Y/n... I- wait you had my number saved?" His voice was so cute.

"Hmm, you gave me your number yourself. You already forgot?" I smiled, swinging my legs from my bed.

"No, I remember. But I thought you didn't save it yet." In his voice, I can clearly sense his blushing. "By the way," he added, "Can you come to our place?"

I was confused, "Come where?"

"Uh, I mean at Jimin's house."

I gulped in once, feeling a bit happy too but something worried me. "Is Jimin okay?"

The line got silent and I looked at my phone to check if he was still on the call or not. Then he said, a bit seriously, "I want you to come for him. He hadn't come out of the room since last night and..."

"He hasn't even eaten anything yet?" I gasped.

"No... I mean yes. He keeps snacks in his room so I guess, he had. But still... I'm worried for him."

I held my mouth to hold in a cry. And after a few minutes, I said, "I'll be there in a minute."

And I hung up.

...

As soon as Jungkook opened the door, I smiled at him. "Thank you so much for texting me the address. I was so anxious I forgot to ask it before hanging up."

He gave me his adorable bunny smile and a side hug as I entered.

The house was decorated amazingly from the inside and I could already guess how rich their adopted parents were.

I was awed at all the things I saw. Jungkook chuckled from my side.

"Jimin is in the farthest room in the hall. The one right before it is Taehyung's and his is the largest." He explained, taking me to the hallways.

I felt awfully silent all around. So I asked, "Where are Taehyung and Namjoon Oppa?

"Ah, they went for some work." I nodded at him and walked towards Jimin's room.

When we reached the door, Jungkook gestured for me to knock. I nodded and knocked once.

Jimin's voice rang out loud from inside. "Yah! Jungkook-ah, don't disturb me!"

"See?" Jungkook whispered to me, shrugging his shoulders.

I knocked again and he shouted back again. "Yah! Go away!"

"Jimin-ah!" I whisper-called but I knew he heard me as he got silent suddenly.

"Open the door, Jimin! It's me, Y/n." I said and almost fell back as he swiftly opened the door and pulled me in, closing the door behind me.

My mouth was agape as I looked at the bed, which was a total mess.

"Sit?" He almost asked and then again said, "Uh- no wait..."

He ran and dusted off the chip crumbs and wrappers from his bed onto the floor. He gestured me to sit now and I tiptoed to his bed.

He caught me staring at the floor and said, "I'm sorry for the condition. My room isn't this dirty on other days."

I looked up at him and nodded. And then silence... an awkward one to be precise.

I didn't know what to say nor did he. And then scratching the back of his neck, he said, "Umm... Y/n, you look absolutely pretty as always..."

I blushed but protested, "Seriously? I came running with my home clothes and you say I look pretty?"

He chuckled, not making eye contact yet. "You had always been pretty to my eyes, Y/n." And our eyes met.

It was getting more awkward but what he said next, was the last thing I expected him to say.

"I'm sorry for forcing a kiss on you but.. Y/n, I love you... always have..."
