As the days slipped by, Jungkook found himself increasingly captivated by Jimin's studio. Like a moth drawn to a flame, he couldn't resist the magnetic pull that urged him to be near the blonde designer. Their encounters became more frequent, both inside the creative haven and outside in the bustling streets of Seoul. Each time they met, Jungkook's heart raced with excitement and a tinge of anxiety, knowing he had to maintain his disguise to shield Jimin from any potential harm his father could bring.

Masked and hidden behind a hat, Jungkook savored their stolen moments, cherishing every laugh and shared glance.

On moonlit nights, they would take long walks together, strolling through the city's enchanting streets. Under the glimmering stars, they exchanged stories and dreams, their words flowing effortlessly as if they had known each other for a lifetime. Jungkook's enigmatic aura intrigued Jimin, and the young man found himself captivated by the way Jungkook carried himself.

Inside the studio, their bond flourished. Jimin admired Jungkook's keen eye for design and his thoughtful insights on fabrics and textures. They lost themselves in discussions about fashion trends, art, and the beauty in the chaos of life. 

At the same time, Jimin continued to spend time with Yoongi, their bond growing stronger with each passing day. They laughed together, shared meals, and stayed up late into the night, talking about Yoongi's dream to become a professional basketball player. Yoongi's heart swelled with affection for the adorable boy who had become an essential part of his life.

As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting hues of gold and pink across the sky, Yoongi found himself engrossed in conversation with Jimin about basketball. They sat on a park bench, the gentle breeze ruffling their hair as they talked.

"I've always loved basketball," Yoongi began, a nostalgic glint in his eyes. "Ever since I was a kid, I'd spend hours dribbling a ball in the backyard, imagining I was playing for one of the big clubs."

Jimin leaned forward, intrigued by Yoongi's passion. "Which club did you dream of playing for?" he asked, his eyes filled with curiosity.

A wistful smile tugged at the corners of Yoongi's lips. "Oh, there were so many," he confessed. "But the one I always had my heart set on was the Seoul Thunderbolts. They're one of the best clubs in the country, and playing for them has always been my ultimate dream."

Jimin couldn't help but be captivated by Yoongi's dedication to his dreams. "That's amazing," he said, his voice filled with admiration. "You must be really talented to have such big aspirations."

A faint blush spread across Yoongi's cheeks, and he shrugged modestly. "I'm just passionate about the game, you know? Basketball has always been my escape, my way of forgetting about the troubles of life and just immersing myself in something I love."

Jimin nodded, understanding the sentiment all too well. "I feel the same way about designing," he admitted. "When I'm creating something, it's like the world around me fades away, and I can pour all my emotions and creativity into my work."

Yoongi smiled, appreciating the connection they shared, even though their passions were different. "It's incredible how art and sports can bring so much joy and purpose to our lives," he said. "I guess that's what makes life beautiful—finding something that sets our hearts on fire."

Remembering what happened earlier that week, Jimin couldn't contain his excitement so he brought up someone unwelcomed to the conversation. "That reminds me, you won't believe what Jungkook did," he exclaimed, eyes sparkling with joy. "He found me the perfect investor for my designs! I can't believe how lucky I am to have him in my life."

"Oh... I see," Yoongi replied, forcing a smile that didn't quite reach his eyes. As happy as he was for Jimin's success, each mention of Jungkook's involvement felt like a thorn in his heart.

"And you know, I wish he would agree to model for me instead of Taehyung," Jimin continued, a hint of longing in his voice. "I can't help but think how amazing my designs would look on him. He's such an enigmatic presence on the runway."

Yoongi's heart sank even further, his fears solidifying. He knew that Jungkook's magnetic allure would elevate Jimin's creations to new heights, leaving him feeling more inadequate by the day.

As the days went on, Yoongi's frustration grew, but he couldn't bring himself to voice his true feelings. He wanted to confess to Jimin, to let him know how he felt, but the fear of rejection and the possibility of losing their friendship held him back.

Unbeknownst to Yoongi, Jimin was completely oblivious to the turmoil inside his friend's heart. His thoughts were consumed by Jungkook, the mysterious young man who seemed to be an ever-present fixture in his life. The more they spent time together, the more Jimin found himself growing attached to Jungkook's persona.
