~Chapter 14~
"W-What?" you stutter.
"I said did you miss me?" Jimin repeats.
You pause in confusion. "Jimin. It's literally been one day since we had that project meeting."
"Ok, and? So what?" Jimin replies. "You can even be away from someone for 30 seconds and already miss them. Aren't I right, sweethea----"
"OOOOOOOKay I'm not falling for this Jimin." you cut him off. "Now, you said we 'weren't finished' so what the heck do you mean?"
Wow. Such confidence from someone who is starting to shake like a maraca.
There's a pause.
All you can hear is a small inhale, then an exhale.
Then Jimin starts, "What I meant by that was...we weren't finished with our conversation. I...actually wanted to continue but forgot to give you my number. I genuinely want to keep talking to you."
..........WHAT KINDA BULLCRAP????
You snort. "C'mon Jimin be for real."
"You thought I was lying when I told Hoseok yesterday that you were great company?" Jimin asked with actual sincerity.
Wait.....he KNEW you were there listening??
You were SURE nobody saw you.
As if he read your mind, he says, "I knew you were standing there. Caught you from my peripheral vision. And before you go on and say 'oh pleeeEeEease Jimin if you knew then you just did it to be nice', just know that I did mean that. Honestly."
You can't believe it. You have no words. Failing to stop yourself, you voice that one question quietly, but loud enough that Jimin actually hears it.
"Why do I feel like there's something fishy about this?"
You then hear what sounds like a mumble. Like a panicked mumble on the other side of the line. Then complete silence for a moment until Jimin's voice comes back.
"I assure you," he says, "there are no strings attached. I'm not trying anything. I'm not lying to you."
You think back to the project meeting. He has literally done NOTHING to force himself upon you, nor hit on you, nor try to seduce you. That day, it was like you saw a new side of Jimin. One that went against what you heard about and saw in school.
The real Jimin.
It couldn't hurt to get a little closer....right?
"...you're starting to scare me with the silence." Jimin jokes.
All that earns is a sigh from you. "Do not lie to me Park Jimin."
"I'm not and I won't." Jimin says immediately. "So....does that mean we can continue?"
A small smile starts to creep on your face with the warm way Jimin asked that question. "Fine. Plus, you still didn't tell me your favorite band, where you live," you think for a second and smirk, "your social security numbe-"
"Ok back the heck up." Jimin laughs. "First of all, no way are you getting that number." you start to chuckle. "Second of all, what is this, 20 questions?"
"You sure had no problem asking questions about me yesterday, though." you say innocently.
You can hear Jimin chuckle on the other side of the line.
Without realizing it at first, you start to feel a little fuzzy feeling listening to that beautiful sound.
And GOSH it made you feel good.
But as soon as it started, you stop it. You don't want the thoughts about this to all roll back at once.
"Ok Y/N, touché," Jimin says a few seconds after. "So...where did we leave off?"
~~~~~~~
Two hours have passed already.
Yes. Two.
And you enjoyed every minute of it so far, because as you and Jimin progressed into conversation, the walls you had up slowly started to crumble once more.
However, out of all the things you talked about, you didn't mention what your brother had told you out of fear that he would stop the conversation short. Either that or just plain awkwardness for the rest of the call.
Yes, you felt this way.
What a shock.
"Ok Y/N I had a lot of fun. And thanks for actually calling and not ripping up the paper or something." Jimin says.
"No problem. I had a lot of fun talking to you too." you say with actual sincerity.
"Are you serious? Really?" Jimin asks with what seems like a hint of surprise even though his voice was calm and soft.
You smile a bit. "Really." However, as soon as those words left your mouth, you SWEAR you hear a squeal. A short, high-pitched squeal.
There are no mice in the house...so what was that?
That thought immediately got pushed to the back of your head as Jimin continues. "I'm so glad you did. Now, before I go, I have a question to ask you. You can say no if you want."
Oh lord...
"Y-yeah?" you stutter out.
"Would you..." he starts but pauses, like he's nervous. "Would.....ugh.....would you like to g-go for some ice cream after the project meeting on Saturday?"
You almost pass out from holding your breath.
"A-A-As a date?" you ask rather nervously.
*THUD*
You jump from the sound that came from outside the door followed by an "OOF".
"Hold on a sec Jimin, p-please." you say and blindly put the phone on what you think is the mute button, because you're about to go rabbit hunting. You walk over to the door and swing it open. "WHAT THE HAM SANDWICH ARE YOU DOING???" you yell.
"YOU'RE GOING ON A DATE?! A N O T H E R DATE WITH YOUR O T H E R M A N!?!??!?!?" Jungkook yells from the floor staring up at you. "WOOOOOW I DON'T KNOW WHAT GOT INTO YOU BUT LORD YOU'RE GOOD....BETTER THAN ME EVEN!!!"
You start to kick him into his room. "GET. AWAY. FROM. MY. DOOR. LEAVE ME ALONE. AND IT'S NOT A DATE."
"PFFT. YEAH RIGHT. AND I'M THE SUGAR PLUM FAIRY WHO COLLECTS TEETH." Jungkook laughs.
You don't even question what he just said. "GO AWAY. BEFORE I GET MOM AGAIN."
Jungkook complies. "FINE FINE FINE TALK TO YOUR FUTURE HUSBAND WHILE I PLAN THE ARRANGEMENTS." he says while laughing and shutting the door.
Rubbing a your face with both hands, you sprint back to your phone......and your face immediately goes pale.
You didn't hit the mute button.
Idiot.
You hit the freaking SPEAKER button.
"P-P-Please tell me you didn't hear that." you say to the boy.
"Hear what? I didn't hear anything." he said simply.
Liar.
"I am so sorry," you groan, which he replies with a laugh before saying it's okay. "but I will answer your question. Yes, I could go for some ice cream, no problem. Got nothing to do anyway." you finish with absolute fear internally.
"Wow....thank you...heh. So, I guess I'll see you Saturday?" he asks sweetly.
"Yeah...you will." you reply. "See you then Jimin!"
"See you Y/N." Jimin says, and you can feel his smile as you both hang up.
"MY LITTLE POTATO GOT ANOTHER DATE OH MY LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORD..." you hear Jungkook tease from the other side of the hall.
Only this time, you didn't say anything.
Instead, you secretly wish for Saturday to come quicker.
