Jihoon had already left, and Y/N had already cleaned up her locker by the time Jimin returned. When he returned, she noticed something was off. He kept looking as if avoiding her gaze and his hoodie was stretched over his face as much as possible. Y/N knew that he often tended to hide his face, however, at that moment he was being too much, and even though he had tried, Jimin knew he couldn't fool Y/N. 

He didn't say anything to her and straight away started packing up, but that wouldn't do for her. She grabbed the sleeve of his hoodie with one hand, and with the other, she pulled down it off of his head. "What the hell, Jimin? You have been acting so weird the whole day-" she cut herself off when she noticed what happened to his face. "J-Jimin..." she stuttered.

"Haha, it's alright... I just fell." he tried to pull his hoodie back up but she had already palmed his face, looking at him with a terrified look. Jimin watched her eyes scanning all over his face and decided not to hold back the fact that he was not okay. "I-I met Yoongi and Taehyung..." she quickly pulled away frowning as rage took over her, "Y/N, I'm not weak, I can handle this myself, it's just that they attacked me all of a sudden..."

He felt kind of regretful for telling her, he thought that she would think he's weak, and maybe he was weak.

"Jimin, you aren't weak and I know that. Let's teach them a lesson later, okay? I'll treat you." 

Jimin didn't feel like being edgy and pushy towards her, so he just followed her silently. They left to look for a nearby pharmacy.

Meanwhile, Jihoon who all this time was hiding behind the wall, clenched his fists in disappointment. He thought that asking Yoongi and Taehyung to bother Jimin would make him more distant from Y/N which would offend her. He expected Jimin to act like his stingy-self once again. However, it didn't work out the same way he wished it would have. He got nothing from that except guilt. He hurt his brother, but in the end, the one who ended up hurt was him.

"But Jihoon... didn't you ask us not bother your brother? Why did you suddenly change your mind? And that Y/N girl, she's definitely gonna create a fiasco tomorrow. Dang, that new girl!" said Yoongi as he threw his empty can of cola into the trashcan.

"Yeah, don't bother him again... unless I tell you."

...

"Okay, the medicine may hurt a little, but it's okay!" Y/N warned right before applying the ointment onto Jimin's bruised eye and the few cuts on his cheeks. "And it's done!" she was about to put her hands away from his face and stand up, so she could throw the pieces of cotton away, but Jimin grabbed her wrist, placing her hands back onto his cheeks.

"Let's buy a present for Jihoon..." he closed his eyes, leaning more into her hand. She was left surprised by Jimin's words.

"Aren't you tired? You should go home and rest, we can go tomorrow."

"Okay, then let me at least walk you home," he said standing up and throwing the rubbish instead of her. "It's already September and it's getting kinda cool outside, today is especially windy. Why would you wear a T-shirt on such a windy day? You'll catch a cold!" 

Jimin said as he realized that her arms weren't covered at all, fully exposed to the frostiness of the atmosphere. Without saying anything, he looked into his bag and found an extra hoodie, he had no idea why he had one, but it turned out useful. "Here, wear this!"

Y/N grabbed the hoodie with a playful smile, "Oh, wow, Jiminie, you are such a gentleman! Why would you carry this hoodie in your bag?" he just shrugged giving her a warm smile, "Is it perhaps that you care for me? Are you worried I'm going to get sick, huh?" she bumped into his shoulder playfully.

"Aish, what the hell are you saying? Come one let's go before it gets dark!" Jimin's cheeks reddened as he grabbed her hand and began walking. 

As they got closer to Y/N's house, the wind started blowing more violently. Jimin grabbed Y/N's hand and put it in his pocket, without letting go of it. She looked at him with a weirded out face, but Jimin felt cool about what he did rather than embarrassed, so he said, "Your hoodie doesn't have pockets. The pockets of your jeans are too small, only half of your hand fits in it. Your hands will get cold."

"Okay, but then what about my other hand, genius?" she showed him her other hand turning slightly red from the cold. He stopped walking and took her hand out of her pocket, he put his arm over Y/N's shoulders. "What are you doing?"

"Wrap your hand around my waist." 

Y/N quietly did as he said, she wanted to see what 'genius idea' he had come up with. Jimin grabbed Y/N's hand that was on his waist and moved it into his pocket. He placed her other hand into his other pocket. It was a weird and slightly uncomfortable position, but he succeeded in making her feel warmer. 

"Great, now your hand is freezing and people will think we are a couple. This didn't solve much..." Y/N grumbled lowly as she rolled her eyes, refusing to accept the warm and fluttering feeling that slithered into her heart.

"Don't lie! You feel warmer!" Jimin snickered, "And why would they think we are a couple? Aren't we one?" Jimin taunted, hiding the fact that he was indeed nervous to make a joke as such. He was well and clearly aware that they weren't dating.

Yet.

"Haha! In your dreams!" Y/N scoffed, a euphoric smile attacking her thin lips as they crusted slithly from the frigidness that surrounded them. And as if it was one of those lovely moments in movies where everything goes slow-motion, he watched her laugh. For a second, for just a mere, single and sorrowful second he thought that he could let her go. If she smiled like that with Jihoon much more often than when she did with Jimin, wouldn't it be better to let her go?

On another side, he wanted that beam for himself. Jimin wanted to see her excited, he wanted to see Y/N angry and sad, mostly of all happy. He wanted to see Y/N's face will all the emotions possible, Jihoon isn't good for her if he can only make her smile. Jimin isn't good either if he can only make her worried, he wanted to focus on different emotions, of course, happiness being the dominant one. 

"Here we are!" Y/N announced at she slid out of the weird position that they were in.

"Make sure to have dinner, and tomorrow wear a coat, a warm one!" Jimin scolded her, but she looked down with a sheepish smile. "Hey! I'm being caring! Not cheesy!" he protested before she could tease him.

"Okay, okay, I'll make sure to do those stuff! See you tomorrow!" she waved at him and he waved back.

"See you tomorrow, Y/N!" he gave her one last smile before turning around and walking to his house. Y/N stepped inside her house only to see her dad looking at her with a worried expression. Once he saw her, he stood up and walked up to her, slapping her shoulder, "Ouch! Come on, dad! I'm not late!" she wined as she caressed her shoulder in an attempt to soothe the pain.

"The wind's really strong outside! Are you sure the guy you came with is going to be okay?" her dad asked as he placed two warm dishes onto the dining table.

"Yeah, he lives nearby. Wait what-" Y/N jerked backwards when she realized that her dad saw her with Jimin, he looked at her with a cocky expression.

"I saw everything!" he stuck out his tongue and started eating.

"What? You saw what? Nothing happened!" she dissented as she dug deeply into the bowl of rice, and shoved the big spoon into her mouth.

"Your boyfriend, that's what I saw!" her dad mumbled and Y/N started chocking on her rice, he quickly passed her a glass of water, "Come on, it's okay! He's handsome and he seems to be really caring. He event told you to wear warm clothes... that was so cute!" he squeaked like a fangirl.

"Dad, he is all of that, except my boyfriend. He is not my boyfriend." she clarified as she gained her 'consciousness' back after the hardcore choking.

"Then make him. I won't accept any other guy in here after what I saw. It's like when you watch a K-Drama and you just can't give the female lead to anyone else but whatever guy you preffed - the first or second lead, but he'd probably be the first anyway which means you and him will end up together..." 

"Some weird stuff you come up with..." Y/N murmured, trying to convince herself that what her dad was saying couldn't possibly be true as he was just being a K-Drama-obsessed fan. Right?
