...The next morning at Seoul Arts University started like any other....
...Except for one small problem....
...Jeon Jungkook woke up to find his closet half empty....
...He stared at it in disbelief....
...Then he sighed....
...“…Park Jimin.”...
...Meanwhile, across campus, Park Jimin happily walked toward class wearing—...
...Jungkook’s hoodie....
...Again....
...Not only that....
...He was also wearing Jungkook’s black beanie....
...And Jungkook’s oversized flannel shirt tied around his waist....
...Jimin hummed cheerfully as he walked....
...Students passing by kept glancing at him....
...Some smiled....
...Some whispered....
...One girl whispered to her friend,...
...“Isn’t that Jungkook’s clothes?”...
...Jimin didn’t hear them....
...He was too busy enjoying the warmth of the hoodie....
...It smells like him again....
...Suddenly—...
...“Jimin!”...
...Jimin turned....
...Walking toward him with a bright smile was Kim Taehyung....
...“Tae!” Jimin waved happily....
...Taehyung stopped in front of him and looked him up and down....
...Then he laughed....
...“You stole more of Jungkook’s clothes?”...
...Jimin shrugged innocently....
...“They’re comfortable.”...
...Taehyung chuckled....
...“Does Jungkook know?”...
...Jimin tilted his head....
...“…not yet.”...
...Taehyung shook his head....
...“You’re brave.”...
...Before Jimin could answer—...
...Another voice joined them....
...“Excuse me.”...
...Both boys turned....
...Standing behind them was a tall senior student....
...His name tag read Minho....
...He smiled politely....
...“Are you Park Jimin?”...
...Jimin nodded....
...“Yes?”...
...Minho scratched the back of his neck....
...“I saw you in dance practice yesterday.”...
...Jimin blinked....
...“Oh.”...
...Minho continued....
...“You’re really good.”...
...Jimin’s cheeks turned pink....
...“Thank you.”...
...Taehyung watched with interest....
...Minho smiled again....
...“I was wondering if you’d like to join our performance group.”...
...Jimin’s eyes sparkled....
...“Really?!”...
...Minho nodded....
...“We’re preparing for the winter showcase.”...
...Taehyung nodded approvingly....
...“That’s a good opportunity.”...
...Jimin looked excited....
...“I’d love to—”...
...“Absolutely not.”...
...The voice came from behind them....
...Cold....
...Firm....
...Familiar....
...All three boys turned....
...Standing there was Jeon Jungkook....
...His expression was unreadable....
...But his eyes were locked on Jimin....
...Jimin blinked....
...“Jungkook?”...
...Jungkook slowly walked toward them....
...His gaze moved down Jimin’s body....
...Beanie....
...Flannel....
...Hoodie....
...All his....
...Jungkook sighed....
...“You raided my closet.”...
...Jimin grinned sheepishly....
...“…maybe.”...
...Jungkook reached forward and flicked Jimin’s forehead....
...“Ow!”...
...“You didn’t even ask.”...
...Jimin rubbed his forehead....
...“You would have said no.”...
...Jungkook crossed his arms....
...“Correct.”...
...Minho looked between them....
...“…do you two know each other?”...
...Taehyung snorted quietly....
...Jimin nodded....
...“Yes!”...
...Jungkook answered at the same time....
...“He’s my problem.”...
...Jimin pouted....
...“I am not!”...
...Minho chuckled awkwardly....
...“Well anyway…”...
...He looked at Jimin again....
...“I meant what I said earlier.”...
...Jungkook’s eyes narrowed slightly....
...Minho continued....
...“You should join our dance group.”...
...Jimin smiled brightly....
...“That sounds amazing—”...
...“He’s busy.”...
...Jungkook interrupted again....
...Jimin stared at him....
...“I am not busy!”...
...Jungkook ignored him....
...Minho frowned slightly....
...“And you are…?”...
...Jungkook stepped closer....
...“Jeon Jungkook.”...
...Minho blinked....
...“Oh.”...
...Everyone on campus knew that name....
...The star athlete....
...Top student....
...And someone people usually avoided arguing with....
...Minho coughed awkwardly....
...“Well, Jungkook… this doesn’t concern you.”...
...Jungkook smiled....
...But it wasn’t friendly....
...“It does when you’re flirting with him.”...
...Jimin’s eyes widened....
...“Flirting?!”...
...Minho looked offended....
...“I wasn’t flirting.”...
...Jungkook shrugged....
...“Looked like it.”...
...Jimin grabbed Jungkook’s sleeve....
...“Stop being rude!”...
...Jungkook looked down at him....
...“…you’re defending him?”...
...Jimin huffed....
...“You’re embarrassing me!”...
...Jungkook’s jaw tightened slightly....
...Taehyung watched the entire situation with a huge grin....
...This was entertaining....
...Minho sighed....
...“Look, I just wanted to invite him to our dance team.”...
...Jungkook replied calmly....
...“He said no.”...
...Jimin shouted....
...“I DID NOT!”...
...Minho looked at Jimin again....
...“So what do you say?”...
...Jimin opened his mouth....
...But before he could answer—...
...Jungkook suddenly wrapped an arm around his shoulders....
...Pulling him close....
...Jimin froze....
...Jungkook spoke casually....
...“He’s already practicing with me.”...
...Jimin blinked....
...“…I am?”...
...Jungkook nodded....
...“Every evening.”...
...Taehyung nearly choked trying not to laugh....
...Minho looked uncertain....
...“Oh… I see.”...
...Jungkook smiled politely....
...“So he’s unavailable.”...
...Minho looked disappointed....
...“Alright.”...
...He nodded at Jimin....
...“Maybe another time.”...
...Then he walked away....
...Silence followed....
...Jimin slowly turned his head toward Jungkook....
...“…what was that.”...
...Jungkook shrugged and removed his arm....
...“What?”...
...“You just lied!”...
...Jungkook started walking....
...“Come on.”...
...Jimin chased after him....
...“JUNGKOOK!”...
...“What?”...
...“I wanted to join!”...
...Jungkook stopped....
...Then looked at him seriously....
...“…why?”...
...“Because I like dancing!”...
...Jungkook sighed....
...“I know.”...
...“Then why stop me?!”...
...Jungkook hesitated....
...Then muttered quietly....
...“…because he kept looking at you.”...
...Jimin blinked....
...“…so?”...
...Jungkook crossed his arms....
...“I didn’t like it.”...
...Jimin stared at him for a moment....
...Then suddenly laughed....
...“You’re unbelievable.”...
...Jungkook frowned....
...“What’s funny?”...
...Jimin pointed at him....
...“You really are jealous.”...
...Jungkook opened his mouth....
...Closed it....
...Then grumbled....
...“…maybe a little.”...
...Jimin’s smile softened....
...“You know what?”...
...“What?”...
...“I’ll still practice with you.”...
...Jungkook blinked....
...“Really?”...
...Jimin nodded....
...“But only if you stop acting like a jealous bunny.”...
...Jungkook scoffed....
...“I am not a bunny.”...
...Jimin giggled....
...“You totally are.”...
...Jungkook sighed....
...This boy....
...He was going to drive him crazy....
...But somehow—...
...He didn’t mind it at all....
