A/N's pov......

Jimin came back to the room taking the soup in his hands. His eyes roamed at every corner but he didn't see Y/n there. He called out for her but there was no response. He put the soup at the table beside her bed and looked for her.

"Y/n-ah!!" She came out from bathroom with towel in her hand. "What were you doing? You didn't even listen me? I was calling you before." Jimin asked a little mad but still calm.

"Ahh!! I just cleaned my face and did some makeup. I was looking awfully ugly." She said plainly. "What? Uh... Is that all?" Jimin scoffed and squinted his eyes being mad at her statement.

"Why? What happened? What's that look for?" She asked all confused. Jimin scoffed again and gave a fake smile gritting his teeth, "Aniyo!! Nothing happened but i was just curious to know that why you felt the need of doing makeup and all when you're sick When i even told you that you're looking beautiful? Why is that so Ms. Y/n?"

She looked blankly at him and blinked her eyes after his sentence, "uh..!! You're right." She smiled awkwardly and went to her bed. "It wasn't a statement but a question. Answer me!!" He gritted his teeth again.

"Ahh!! Are you pissed off?" She asked. "Aniyo!! Why would i be? Just bcoz you went to wash up your face and doing makeup when you are sick? Not at all. I'm calm." He said gritting his teeth again.

"Just tell me you're. Why are you lying?" She frowned. "I'm not....." He sighed. "Ahhh! Ok forget it. Have your soup before it gets cold again." He said giving up. "You should said that at first." She said. "Ahh ok ok!! i apologise. Have it now." He said handing her the tray in which bowl of soup was.

Time skipped like this and Jimin was still at her side. "Jimin-ah? How did it started? I mean when you started feeling things for me?" She asked being curious. "I don't know, I always think about you from the day we met. The difference is that before, i thought how to prank with you but now, just think how to make you happy."

"You weren't like this the first day we met or may be i thought wrong of you." She said. "Just like me. I misinterpreted you too. I thought you're rude but I think you're the kindest person i have ever met. The day when you pranked on me using that robotic crab, you calmed me, comforted me by hugging me understanding the situation. You were so closed to me that I could hear your heartbeat when I was not even in my senses. You were really scared as me. I think that was the day when things started." He smiled with his glistening eyes looking at ceiling.

She just nodded agreeing with him and then lift her head up asking, "How can i know about my feelings towards you?" He looked at her confused himself, "what?"
"Till now I was telling myself that I have nothing for you but now it feels like I need to check until i got a correct and satisfactory answer." She said.

"And how will you do that?" He asked. She went close to him and rested her head on his chest.

"May be I will too hear your heartbeat." She said. She was in her comfort zone not realising it at all. He was confused at first but then smile appeared on his face.

Time skipped like this, her head was still on his chest. "Y/n!! I want to say something." He said.

"Go ahead. I'm listening."

"Don't miss school tomorrow because of me. I guess you missed it today bcoz of me but don't do that tomorrow. Just take care of yourself. Get well soon and don't miss the school tomorrow." He said calmly thinking about how he felt so suffocated and restless in school today without her.

She looked at him and said, "Don't worry. I will be fine tomorrow. I will go with you so wait for me at bus stop." A smile appeared on his face.

"I....." He cut off by a familiar voice. "Y/n-ah!! I'm home. Is Jimin still here?" Her mother said loudly from the hall as she just came back. "Eomma!!" Her eyes widened and she maintained her distance from Jimin.

Jimin stood up from there nervously and looked here and there. "Pick up those notes. Don't say anything nonsense infront of her or talk about us being friendly. Just say that we were discussing notes when she asked. Understood?" Jimin nodded vigorously confused about the situation.

"There.. Go and sit there on my study desk." She said pointing there. He did so. "And yess!!!Don't come at home again and again. My brother is back from abroad and he won't like you coming here, not you but anyone. Just avoid coming here as much as possible. Please."

"What? Ahh....... yeah!!" He was confused as hell and scratching the back of his head. He was flustered and the environment was awkward. Footsteps approaching her room and she was pleading Jimin in low voice, "I'm sorry. But please please please avoid coming home."

"Is Jimin still here?" The door opened revealing her mother. "Ne Eomma!! There." Y/n said pointing towards him. He stood up nervously and bowed, "Ahh! Eommonim! What took you so long? I was waiting for you." He said trying to act normal.

"Ahh!! Right!.... I..." She was looking at them not knowing what this awkwardness is for? "Ah!! I'm sorry Eommonim but I have to go. Appa called me saying he has something urgent to talk. I'm sorry I will visit you later." He made an excuse telling her in a hurry and escaped from there as soon as it was possible for him.

"what's wrong with him?" Both Y/ n and her mother mumbled to herself. "He surely made it suspicious to mom." Y/n mumbled to herself. "Kids these days!! They're making me suspicious towards them." She sighs before leaving.

[Time skipped to the next day]

"I love you!!" Jimin said to her.

"We are not meant for each other. I'm sorry." Y/n said.

"why?" Jimin's eyes sparkled as some tears were visible there.

"I don't know. We can't be together." She said.

"Please Don't say this." He said forwarding his steps to her.

"Don't come close to me. Please." She said, Her eyes were teary.

"Why?" Jimin asked.

"I'm Afraid. I won't be able to control my emotions. I already fell for you. It's hard to resist you. Please stay away." She cried.

*Alarm rang*

She opened her eyes wide in a shock and sat up in her bed breathing heavily, "why it seems so real?"

"Y/n-ah!! wake up. You will be late for school again." Her mom yelled from downstairs.

"You surely are something Jimin. I never dreamt about any boy like this but here you're." She sighed and fell back on her bed again.

She's turned her side feeling anxious and was too lazy to wake up. "Please don't miss school tomorrow bcoz of me."

She recalled the word Jimin said to him and she finally got off from her bed and head straight to bathroom.

She did her daily routine and applied some extra balm on her lips, and looked herself again and again in mirror while doing her hair.

She looked at the time and realised that she's already late. She ran to the hall and took her Sandwich from dining table and ran out to the door.

"Y/n-ah Your lunch." Her mom yelled.
"I'll eat in cafeteria today." She responded loudly before going out.

There she was seeing him waiting for her at the bus stop. But Bus was already there.

"Yah!! Hurry up. You're late." He said in a bit loud voice. She ran to him and they both took the seat side by side.

"Why were you late?" He asked.
"That's my habit." She replied plainly. He scoffed. She looked at him and his side figure thinking, 'I don't know what I have for you, But if you're my comfort zone then I'm sure you will be my love too.'

[Time skipped to the school]

She entered her class and was about to sit on her desk when she noticed Jisoo was already there.

"Y/n-ah!! Are you fine? Why were you absent yesterday?" Jisoo asked.

"Ahh!! Let me sit first. I'm tired. Why there ain't any lift in our school." She said breathing heavily.

"Oh!! yeah sit. I thought you will be absent today too so I sat here. Take your seat." Jisoo said standing up and going to her seat.

Y/n arched her eyebrow in confusion listening her words but she didn't mind and sat on her seat. "Can I get water? please." She said breathing heavily.

Jisoo offered her bottle as Y/n gulped it quickly. "Yah!! you have your own bottle still you do this with me." Jisoo whined.

"Then why don't you give me my bottle instead of yours!" She said.

"Ahh ok ok!! My mistake." Jisoo said as they both laughed lightly.

Jimin entered into the class catching the attention of all girls. He was happy unlike yesterday and it was visible by his angel face.

Y/n too looked at him like other girls did as he came to his seat and put his bag beside her.

"Jimin!! Class will start soon. Let's go to playground before it." Jungkook approached him placing his hand on his shoulder with Taehyung.

Jimin nodded and smiled back before heading out with them as Y/n blinked her eyes realising she's staring him from minutes and she realised that other girls are staring him too.

She amusely looked at them and then Jimin who just left the class. All girls started talking about him and it was audible to Y/n.

Her eyes widened when one girl mentioned, "His smile is so charming" and when then other girl said, "Gosh!! The way he walks make my heart flutter." Her mouth was opened when that one whore of her class said, "The size of his butt is perfect. I will surely make him mine for one night."

She was confused asf not knowing what to say, what to do. She shook her head and just opened her book for the first lecture and started reading it but the words of girls were repeating in her head.

At other side, Jimin was listening boys gossiping about her girl. He was pissed off at first but decided to ignore them and then Jungwon passed by his side glaring at him and Jimin glared back. The Rebellious moment you know. It's like, one will say a word and the fight will start.

[Time skipped to the first lecture]

"Why???? Put your books on your side." Y/n said.
"Why can't you adjust? I have a little space." Jimin replied.

"It's same as mine. Stop with your nonsense. Keep your books to your side." She replied.
"Yah!!!" He put his books on her books and she did the same.

"Jimin and Y/n. Will you please stop now?" The Teacher Mr. Kim glared at them as they both sat innocently at their place before giving death glares to each other.

[Time skipped to Recess break]

"Y/n-ah!! Are you coming to cafeteria?" Jisoo asked.

"Yeah!!" She managed the things on her desk and stood up to go. Jimin already left with Jungkook and Taehyung just seconds ago.

They both went to cafeteria and took their seat when they noticed Jungwon joining them. Y/n gave a awkward smile to him.

Jimin looked at them from his seat and he got up to sit there with Y/n. Taehyung and Jungkook joined him. So Jimin was in infront of Y/n and Jungkook was beside Jimin. Jisoo's side was Taehyung and Jungwon infront of Taehyung but keep eyeing Y/n.

Y/n and Jisoo astoundly looked at them and the sudden change of surroundings.

"The one who has extra banana milk or even a banana milk, can give it to me without any hesitation." Jungkook said as Y/n left out a awkward chukle and handed her banana milk to Jungkook.

As Jungkook took it, Jimin hit on his hand and took the Banana milk to give it back to Y/n, "Yah!! she was sick yesterday. Let her gain some energy and Don't take other's banana milk, Have mine."

"Aww Jimin!! You're so kind." Jisoo said out of blue. Y/n looked over her giving her a weird look. Jimin just smiled while Taehyung looked over Jimin giving him weird look.

"You were sick yesterday? Are you feeling well now?" Jungkook asked. Y/n nodded saying, "Ya!! I'm well. It was just a viral fever." She smiled at him as Jungkook smiled back.

"Ahh!! Jungwon-ah!! I'm sorry. That day.. I left without saying anything. You were talking about something.. meet.. and all. Was it Something important?" Y/n said as she remembered it suddenly.

Everyone looked at Jungwon catching his biggest lie he told everyone yesterday. Y/n noticed everyone all confused while Jimin was just eating and not giving a shit to Jungwon's astound expression.

"Why? what happened to you guys? Is there something wrong?" Y/n asked.

"Ain't he proposed you that day?" Jisoo asked. "what?" was the only thing Y/n spoke with her wide eyes.

"He talked about kissing and all. Was it a lie?" Jungkook asked. Y/n choked on her food listening to him while Jimin was all calm and handed her the glass of water to drink.

She gulped it as Jisoo patted her back. "what the hell you guys talking about? It was a pure lie. There's nothing like this happened between us infact Ji....." She stopped realising that she was about to expose herself with Jimin.

A smirk appeared on Jimin's face. A proud smirk. But He was all calm while Y/n was thinking that Jimin will misunderstand her.

"Infact Ji... what?" Jisoo asked. "Infact Jimin... knows... that I was with Aura and after Aura slept, I left right away as My brother came back home that day." She said nervously. Jimin made a face 'Oh really?' but Y/n ignored him not to think about the kiss that time.

"Really Jimin?" Jungkook asked. "huh?... Ahh!! Yess!! She left right away after Aura slept." Jimin said.

"Then why did you lie Jungwon?" Taehyung asked. "Exactly that's what I'm asking. Why did you lie?" Y/n repeated Taehyung's word.

Jungwon was all stunned to speak anything or say He was embarrassed at that moment and furious at same time. He formed his hand into a fist and stood up furiously taking his food and left the place.

"Gosh!! what the hell it was? How can you all listen to his bullshit?" Y/n was frustrated that everyone believed his nonsense.

She was about to get up and leave her food when Jimin stopped her. "Where are you going?" He asked.

"I'm frustrated right now. I can't eat and talk with you all knowing no one took a stand for me." She said.

"No one believed his bullshit, especially I never believed him. Just sit back and have your food. You can't skip your meal just bcoz of that jerk." He said infront of everyone.

"Yes Y/n we never believed him." Taehyung said as Jungkook nodded too and Jisoo agreed with them, "I'm sorry. I didn't take a stand for you but I seriously didn't believe him." Jisoo stated.

She sat back and had her food and she was still annoyed which was noticable by Jimin.

[Time skipped]

Recess was over and all went to their class. Jisoo was with Y/n but when they were closed to their desk, Jisoo took a step forward and sat on Y/n's desk.

Y/n looked at her all confused and asked, "what happened?"
"Can I sit here for the rest of the day?" Jisoo asked.

"what? but why?" Y/n asked. "Sit here first. I will tell you." Jisso pointed on her own desk which was at the back of Y/n's desk.

Y/n sat on her desk just to listen her. "Haven't you noticed the girls simping over Jimin in morning?" Jisoo asked.
"Oh I saw, why was that for?" She asked.

"All girls have crush on him from that day(Aura's birthday) and all are just trying to play tricks to have him." Jisoo told him.
"what?" Her eyes widened and her voice was a bit loud.
"Ahh!! slow down." Jisoo calmed her.
She nodded.

"I do like him too. Won't you help me getting together with him? please!!" Jisoo asked.
This was something which left her in shock. "You what?" Y/n asked.

"I like him too." Jisoo said. "Stop Joking Jisoo. You're like this everyday." Y/n scoffed.

"Yah!! it's not like everyday. I surely like him." Jisoo said.
"C'mon.. You're just impressed like these bitches in the class simping over him in morning." Y/n said denying to agree with her.

"Yah!! I'm not impressed. I like him. I have feelings for him. It's not a mere everyday crush. He's surely a crush of mine going for long." Jisoo explained.

"You have feelings for him?" Y/n asked.
"yeah!! He's so kind, sweet and above that He's handsome. Haven't you seen his Gentleman actions? Haven't you ever noticed how perfect he is? And above a this, my heart flutters whenever I see him. His smile makes me sick inside." Jisoo told her.

"Ahh!! I....... " Nothing was coming out of her mouth and she was quite astound.
"I seriously have feelings for him. Real feelings, not like these bitches. Won't you help me out to get us together?" Jisoo looked in her eyes expecting for answer.

"I??" She pointed herself not being sure if she can do this. Jisoo nodded with a smile and Y/n felt heart broken at the same time but she managed to smiled back and nodded, "Aaaah o-ok!! but...." she was cut off as Jimin and all entered into class and their teacher too.

Jisoo picked up Y/n's bag and gave it to her while she hesitated to take it. Jisoo asked for her bag but Y/n didn't want to do that still she picked her bag and handed to her hesitantly.

When Jimin came to his seat, he was confused too seeing Jisoo at Y/n's place and Y/n at Jisoo's place. His expression changed and he looked from Jisoo to Y/n who was not happy at all but still calm and she looked at him. Both unhappy souls were finding an answer for the situation.
