7: Why Care?
Ain't No Sunshine- Bill Withers
_____
Jimin couldn't stop feeling uncomfortable during class. His body kept shifting in his seat, sweat forming on his head, teeth gnawing his lip as his hands fidgets on the desk. This feeling of nerves isn't anything new to Jimin, he feels it at least once a day at some point. But today just so happens to be different. From the corner of his eye, he sees Jungkook still staring at him, for the past ten minutes now. A deep rush of blood flames Jimin's cheeks, his nerves only growing by the second.
Why is he staring so much?
Saved him once and now Jungkook thinks he has the right to just start staring openly as if Jimin is going to jump out the window at any second.
Pathetic.
Jimin glances at the clock near the door, taunting him as it slowly moves. It seems like it's pace is much slower than usual because Jimin has been staring at it for what feels like five minutes but it's only been two. This is so fucking annoying. Jimin just wants to leave, not even to his house but leave this school in general.
Just wants to be alone for a while.
He wants to go to the dance studio. Jimin has never told anyone, not even his parents, but he really enjoys to dance. Something about it just sends his whole body to ease. It fills him with a happiness that he himself have fought hard to feel. This is the only way that he feels connected to something.
Something close to a motivation to being alive.
It always stays up until the music stops, and he's back to his miserable reality of a life. Nothing brings him that same peace before.
So when the bell finally rings, Jimin gathers his stuff quickly and rushes out the classroom, still avoiding Jungkook's eyes, and goes to his locker. Once again, people avoid him, knocking into him constantly as if he wasn't there. As usual. His heart tugs slightly when he reaches his locker and instantly gathers his stuff together. He nearly drops everything when he hears a familiar laughter right across from him.
A familiar, beautiful laughter.
Jimin cranes his head slowly to see the Alpha group behind him. The golden boys. They're all laughing amongst themselves, one of those people being Jungkook as well. Jimin didn't know what to feel, seeing the raven haired boy smile that wide. Something so different from that sincere look from yesterday.
Yesterday.
The unnerving remembrance of yesterday sent an unpleasant feeling in Jimin's stomach, fighting hard to brush it in the back of his head. Not going to lie, Jimin felt a little disappointed with Jungkook didn't come up to him to ask him how he's feeling, but what did he expect? To drop everything and come to his rescue again? No, Jungkook isn't like that. He doesn't care.
He just saved him, he doesn't owe Jimin anything.
Besides, Jimin constantly did tell him to stay away from him.
At the end of the day, Jungkook is still an Alpha boy.
So why should Jimin care?
Seems like he's been staring for far too long because out of all people, Taehyung caught his stare. It seems like it was an instant effect that his cheeks blushed a rosy red, immediately feeling flustered that he's been caught. And out of all people it being Taehyung. Jimin couldn't help but study Taehyung with his eyes; tousled blonde hair, pouty lips, wide eyes and a firm structure on his face with his golden tan. How could someone not like Taehyung? He's a living ken doll. Jimin can't find a single flaw about him, about any of them in general. But specifically Taehyung.
He's just too.... Intimidating to be around.
Jimin slightly frowns when people would go up to their group and greet them so openly, so friendly, but Taehyung remained with his eyes on him. Observing him like a hawk. The nerves once again felt overwhelming and Jimin turns back to his locker and closes it shut and walks away as the hallway begins to empty out. Probably because people are leaving to go home.
Jimin is going home.
His imaginary world.
The minute he reached the familiar door, it's almost like everything faded away for a split moment. He's going to feel at ease for once. Jimin opens the door and was grateful to find the room completely empty.
He dropped his stuff and switches to a pair of sneakers in his backpack, feeling anxious to let all this feeling out for once. Jimin rushes to the radio and skims through the familiar playlist already there.
Once a familiar song came up, Jimin lips shifted to a smile and he gets to position. And soon enough, he was dancing. There is something that sparks when Jimin dance that even anyone that may have a evil eye to him can see it. He has talent. Something he always brushes aside because he thinks it's something that doesn't mean anything. It's just dancing to his eyes. It doesn't take away his depression or suicidal thoughts. It doesn't make everything in his life disappear, but it does add some sort of relief.
A bittersweet relief.
With the movement of his hands, he lets out his anger. How his legs carry him lets out his frustration. The way his body fluidly moves, similar to water, he expresses his depression. How much he's suffering on the inside. Jimin doesn't believe this to be a passion, more like a moment to just let everything out. Do what words can't ever say.
Little did Jimin know that someone was watching him through the window. Someone who has seen the little man dance his heart out multiple times before, purposely sets the radio to that CD just so Jimin can dance to that same familiar song that sends him relief. The stranger never spoken to Jimin, only seen him a few times around the hallways, even in a class. He never expected someone just as shy as Jimin to have this... Fire burst out when he dances. In all his years, he has never been so amazed by someone in his life.
Maybe one day he'll have the guts to talk to him, maybe.
As for now he'll admire in a distance, with a twinkling smile on his face.
