Four

The upcoming saturday party was on the lips of everybody. Every student at Bangtan looked forward to it. Amongst them Park Jimin.

He and Hoseok were walking towards the dance department when a slim handsome guy whose face could rival that of a female beauty pageant holder walked towards them.

"Hey Jimin, Hoseok!" he hailed them.

They stopped to look at him and Jimin's heart twisted as he beheld Lee Taemin. One of the most popular and handsome guys in campus. Every girl drooled over him but he paid them no attention. Jimin now knew the reason why.

"Hey Taemin!" Jimin said.

He looked at Taemin all over. How could he not have known he was gay all these while. He had been too oblivious yet what he couldn't understand was why Taemin chose to hide his sexuality for so long.

"So guys, are you going to Namjoon's party?"

Yes Namjoon's party. That was where Jungkook and Taemin had met and probably developed their secret relationship. He was going to have to stop that meeting.

"Yes we are. It's going to be lit!" Hoseok said.

"Yeah. Are you still entering that dance competition?" Jimin said to Taemin.

"Of course. I'm determined to win that thing"

And he had won it ten years ago while Hoseok had clinched the third prize but not this time, Jimin was going to beat him to it. Taemin didn't know but he was playing a game he wasn't aware of with Jimin, a game to win the heart of Jungkook, the most popular boy in college.

He suddenly smiled "Well, I'm entering the competition too" He finally announced and both boys stared at him, shock written on their faces.

"What? You?" They both chorused.

Jimin nodded. "Yes, I decided to enter the competition yesterday"

Hoseok shook his head "And you're just telling me now?"

Jimin grinned. "I wanted it to be a surprise"

Taemin smiled. "Wow Jimin, you always shy away from competitions like this, what made you change your mind?"

Jimin hid a smile. "it was divine intervention!"

Taemin scoffed "Whatever it is, I'm glad you have decided to come out of your shell"

They reached the front steps of the building.

"I'll head to class now" Hoseok said.

"Bye hyung!" The younger two said and Hoseok left.

NB (Jimin and Taemin are the same age in this story)

"Let's head to class. I heard there is a new dance instructor coming today"

They started to climb up when Taemin slowed his steps as a rather tall guy approached them. Jimin felt goosebumps when he noticed Taemin and the guy make a strange eye contact but Taemin pulled away first and the guy pouted sadly before making his way past them.

That had felt awkward. What was even more awkward was Taemin's silence as they both entered the building. There was something going on between Taemin and that guy.

"Hey Taemin, do you know that guy? He looks familiar"

He pretended not to understand what he was saying but Jimin knew better.

"Who?"

"The guy who just passed us"

He bit his lips nervously "Oh Lee min ho, um yeah, I know him. We were classmates in highschool" he said quickly.

"Are you two fighting? You seemed to be avoiding him"

Taemin blushed "Of course not... We aren't that close. That's all"

They stopped in front of a door.

"Let's go in. We are here" He said and without saying another word, he entered.

Jimin felt a bit excited. There was something here. An opportunity has presented itself to keep those two from being a couple in the future. A plan began to form in his head and he was only too happy to execute it.

They had a lot of dance routines today. It was pretty late when it was over. Taemin left first while Jimin freshened up in the men's locker and left the department building only to see Taehyung's head sticking out in front of him. He quickly rushed to him.

"Hey Tae, when did you come? Have you been waiting long?"

His friend frowned "It's been almost an hour now. I left you several calls and text messages"

Jimin checked his phone and it was true. He flashed Taehyung an apologetic smile.

"I'm sorry. Dance practice was hectic today"

Taehyung shrugged. "It's okay, I understand"

"So what's up? How was class?" Jimin said as they began to walk together.

"It was great. I wrote a nice song. When it's complete, I'll show it to you"

Jimin smiled and they walked together in mutual silence. Once, their hands collided and Jimin felt a tiny spark.

Taehyung chuckled "Jimin, do you really want to hold hands so badly?"

Jimin stopped, blushing furiously "What do you mean?"

Taehyung smiled. "You really need a boyfriend"

Jimin grabbed his neck almost choking him. "You brat, don't forget I'm your hyung"

"Yeah right" Taehyung choked out and Jimin released him. They looked at each other for a while and started laughing.

They were passing a boutique when Taehyung stopped.

"Hey Jimin let's do a little shopping"

"Now?"

Taehyung nodded. "The party is tomorrow and I don't have anything to wear" he complained.

Jimin rolled his eyes "You have more than enough clothes Tae, you can just pick one"

"Please, Just once" He begged putting up an adorable face. Jimin couldn't deny that face so he sighed.

"Okay fine but only if you get something for me"

"No problem!" Taehyung said with excitement and dragged Jimin into the boutique.

As soon as they entered, Taehyung began to rummage through clothes. Shopping was one of the things Taehyung loved. However, Jimin could care less about shopping but he loved jewelries though.

He saw his friend pack clothes in his arm and divide it. He gave him one set of clothes and Jimin was quite surprised.

"Hey how do you know they would fit me?"

Taehyung just gave a smug smile. "Because I know everything about you Park Jimin"

Jimin covered his chest with his arms and widened his eyes in a funny manner.

"How dare you invade my privacy" he joked.

Taehyung laughed. "Just try them on"

Jimin did and they were all perfect fits. They were also stylish and Jimin liked them. Taehyung even got some matching outfits for them. Jimin's eyes lingered on the jewelry section. He admired the jewelries wishing he could buy one of them but he didn't have enough cash with him so he just gave up and watched Taehyung try out his own clothes. They looked good on him.

Jimin felt weird being with Taehyung. He guessed it was because he knew his heart. He had an unrequited love for him and it was painful to watch knowing he couldn't feel the same.

Jimin thanked him for the clothes. Taehyung paid and they left the boutique carrying shopping bags.

"You want to eat something?" his friend said.

"No, I'm tired. Let's just head to the dorm"

The boys dorm wasn't far from where they were so they left together. They soon reached and Taehyung escorted Jimin to his room. His own room was five rooms away from Jimin's. They stopped in front of his door.

"Thanks again" Jimin said.

Taehyung suddenly brought out two silver necklaces from his pants. Jimin was shocked when Taehyung shyly gave him one of them with a pendant shaped like the moon while he held the other one shaped like the sun.

"I saw you looking at the jewelry section at the boutique so I decided to buy this as a token of our friendship"

Jimin stared at it, his eyes almost watering with tears. "It's beautiful Tae, I love it"

He hugged him and at first Taehyung stiffened but he eventually relaxed and wrapped his arms tight around him. When they separated, Jimin couldn't look at Taehyung. He felt strange all of a sudden, his heart was pounding.

"Can I put it on you?"

"Sure"

Taehyung took the necklace from him and wore it on him. Jimin did the same for Taehyung and they both laughed, looking at their necklaces

"Good night Taehyung and thanks for today" Jimin muttered.

Taehyung nodded. "Goodnight Jimin"

Jimin smiled before opening his door and entering his room. He was feeling different. He couldn't quite understand it.

"You're back!" Hoseok shouted. He was sitting on his bed eating chips. He ate so much it was a wonder he wasn't fat.

Jimin dropped the bags beside his bed and slumped on it tiredly

"You went shopping?" He said

"Sort of, Taehyung bought them for me"

Hoseok rolled his eyes "You should just date the guy!" He blurted out.

Jimin said nothing and touched the necklace. Something was happening to him. This hadn't happened ten years ago, not the shopping, not the necklace. Was he really in the past or was he just dreaming of a different reality? He wasn't certain. Tomorrow at the party he would prove to himself what it was he really wanted.

That's all, hope you enjoyed!
