Chapter 22- The Word Is Out
"Aaahh, really?" you whine when you drop your keys to your apartment's door.
Jimin who is standing behind you chuckles to him self as you squat down to grab the keys. However, once you stand up again you feel yourself getting dizzy and you growl at not being able to put the key in the key hole.
"Give it to me" Jimin grabs the keys from your hand and gently pushes you aside while he unlocks the door, this is actually the first time he talks to you ever since you guys managed to escape Chae-Rin and Cody.
You rest your head on the wooden door and wait for the door to be opened, however you rely too much on it and when Jimin widely opens it, you lose your balance and nearly fall but, thanks to Jimin's reflexes he catches you, once again, preventing you from an inevitable kiss with the ground.
"You seriously aren't feeling okay..."he mutters and lets you get in.
You nod your head as you walk in and take your coat and shoes off .
"Finally!! You're here!" Eun-bi says as she stumbles out of the living and once her eyes land on Jimin, who is taking his coat off, her eyebrow raises in interest, "How come you two are together?"
Both off you flinch at her words.
Together?
What does she mean by 'together'?
'Together' as in 'relationship'?
Or
'Together' as in why you just came home with Jimin?
Well, whichever it is, the outcome will still be the same.
You get cornered until you explain.
Given your state, you can't come up with a good lie, so you should just go with the truth, but it's not just you in this, it's Jimin as well. Does he want Eun-bi to know?
"Uuuh" you give a questioning look to Jimin, asking him with your eyes whether you should tell Eun-bi or not, however he doesn't look at you, therefore he doesn't give you an answer.
"Omooo!!" Eun-bi says after she checks her phone that beeped a few seconds ago, "I knew it!!" she cheers.
"You knew what?" Jimin asks confused, while he nonchalantly heads to the living room.
"I was sure you two are a couple!!!" Eun-bi cheers and Jimin stops on his track and your eyes go wide.
What the actual fuck?
"Wait... Why would you guys hang out with Chae-Rin and Cody?" Eun-bi shoots a very confused and worried look to Jimin who is only giving her a frozen look.
"How...Do you exactly know that?" you ask, your voice being quiet.
"Well, Tae sent me a screenshot of one of Chae-Rin's Facebook statutes and she says that she was out on a double date, having the two of you and Cody tagged" she stops for a second trying to gather her thoughts, "Who is dating who? Like seriously! I'm really confused, like, I saw you two sleeping together the other day and I thought you kept a secret relationship from us..." she trails off and both you and Jimin flinch a little bit at the her words, however Eun-bi pays no attention and jumps into different theories, "But now... You guys decide to go out with Chae-Rin who is Jimin's ex... And Cody? The only explanation for him to be there would be if he dated you Y/N... But if he dated you than that would mean that the two of you truly hate each other and why would you guys go on a double date together? AIIIISSHHH!!! THIS MAKES NO SENSE!!" she starts yelling after throwing around her theories making you even more fuzzed as you fail to catch up to her words.
"Uuhh... We can explain?" Jimin says once he realizes he needs to take action, with a shy smile.
Suddenly Eun-bi's facial expression hardens and she strictly says, "You" she points at him, "And you" she points at you, "Couch. Now" she points towards the living room, "Explain"
"Okay..." You say and cautiously pad to the living room and sit on the couch, with Jimin following you suit, as he sits next to you, a little too close for your liking, but you don't feel uncomfortable, though.
Why do you feel like you're going to be interrogated soon? It must be Eun-bi's cruel look... Man, this girl knows how to act when she wants to get information out of someone.
You gulp once you see her enter and she moves the sofa and places it opposite of you, so when she sits there she can have you straight ahead.
"Jimin... Are you back with Chae-Rin? I thought you promised to never go back to her..." Eun-bi says softly at her friend.
Never go back to her? What did she do to him?
"No... We're not back together..." Jimin sighs and a rush of relief passes through Eun-bi.
She doesn't know all the details to what happened between Jimin and Chae-Rin, no one does except Tae, being the one Jimin trusts most, and he of course refuses to say anything to anyone, but she knows how awful her friend was feeling after the break up, she saw him everyday and he had gone dark for a little while, she truly wanted to rip Chae-Rin's head apart at that time. However, she couldn't because Jimin didn't want her to.
"Than you guys are dating?" Eun-bi says as her eyes light up and she points her finger from you to Jimin back and and forth a couple of times.
Ever since she saw the two of you all snuggled up next to each other, she can't help but secretly ship you, along with Taehyung who saw you as well, she knows she is actually agreeing with Hoseok when he says that the two of you will end up together but she doesn't care about her pride, as long as her ship sails, and if it doesn't... She wins the bet with Hoseok. So, it's a win-win situation for her.
The moment you and Jimin register her words your instant response is to make a disgusted face denying the whole thing.
We're such five-year Olds
You think after judging that your reaction is very childish, but whatever, this situation is insane anyways, so you might as well not take it seriously.
"Gaaah, then what the hell? How do Cody and Chae-Rin know each other?" Eun-bi asks messing up her hair in frustration.
You look at Jimin who obviously is in real struggle, thinking of how he should explain the situation to Eun-bi but with not too many details so that you don't put the pieces together. Like mentioned before, he doesn't want you knowing too many things about him.
"Chae-Rin and Cody are dating..." You spit out and Eun-bi's eyes nearly fall out of their sockets.
"WHAT?" She freezes on her spot, she blankly looks at you for a second then her eyes avert to Jimin a D realization hits her, "Wait, is he the one she-"
"Yes,and shut up about it" Jimin says harshly and you Eun-bi gets the message.
However, Eun-bi is not the only one who gets the message. You know he doesn't want you to know what has happened. You don't blame him, you're not one to tell people you don't know well about personal stuff. You completely understand him not trusting you. You don't trust him that much either.
Also not being that willing to have this conversation or squeeze your tired brain to analyze and explain you decide to just get up and go to your room to just get some rest.
"Okay, I'm going to tell you my side of the story," you clap your hands together, " So, one minute I am trying to look for your hair dye shampoo next thing I know is I'm smacked in the face with wiped cream, and Chae-Rin comes up asking if I'm he's girlfriend to which he agrees on" you put emphasis on the last part and lightly smack Jimin's shoulder for bringing you into this mess, "and afterwards I'm dragged to a pastry shop to buy him ice cream for sneezing on his face, and next thing you know Cody comes in Chae-Rin following a bit after that and we find our selves forced to sit down with them, on a so called 'double date'" you take a deep breath as you finish.
The other two stay silent for a second registering your words, however you don't feel like continuing to analyze the situation any further.
"I'm going to my room, I'm tired" you rub your forehead and your eyes afterwards in tiredness as you sit up and head out.
"Achu!" you let out a small sneeze when you exit the living room to head to your room.
"Bless you!" Eun-bi says in response and you thank her before you shut the door to your room.
"Gaaaahhh" you whine as you hang your head back in hope that some of the pain goes away, but it only gets stronger. You walk to your closet and grab a random hoodie and sweats. Your undress yourself from your clothing and wear whatever you pulled out from the closet.
You plop on your mattress and sigh in relief as your body relaxes on the heavenly mattress.
Much to your dismay your head doesn't seems to be relaxing and on top of that you start feeling that the hoodie is suffocating you. In an instant, you find yourself up, wearing off your hoodie and getting dressed in a t-shirt.
However, once you wear it you notice that the shirt doesn't have the smell of your fabric conditioner, it smells like a male perfume. A very nice one indeed, not too light not too heavy, you should know because heavy male perfumes make you sneeze. Booyy, you've been teased a lot about this by your friends back in (home country).
You look down to see what you are actually wearing and you see the Iron Man t-shirt Jimin had been wearing the other day when the seven boys stayed for a sleep over.
The male perfume scent it has on is definitely Jimin's.
Dayum, once again I'm going to admit that this boy knows how to spend his money...
Why didn't I wash this, though?
Pffft, I don't have the strength to change again, so whatever I'll just wear it. It's not like it belongs to him anyways.
At least that what you try to believe. Truth is, you actually really like Jimin's scent and you want to keep it on, but you're not going to admit that yourself, now, are you? You made it clear to yourself that you won't let yourself get too attached on him. You'll try to get closer, but at a safe distance nonetheless.
You open the door of your bedroom and walk to the kitchen to get your medicine. You search through the cabinet you keep all the medicine in, but you don't find the one you need, so you have got to ask Eun-bi is she used the pills.
"Eun-bi!!!" you call from the kitchen but you get no response, "Never mind!!" you call again as you spot the pill pack you had been searching for.
You head back to your room after you take all the medicine you need, and plop on your bed in hopes of falling asleep as you snuggle up to one of your pillows while enjoyably breathing the smell of your shirt.
Has it been ten minutes since you fell asleep? That's all you get; ten minutes of sleep before your phone starts buzzing on the nightstand every second, notification after notification blowing up your mind in anger.
You turn around in anger as you grab it forcefully ready to shut it off but the notifications catch your interest and you open one, which leads you to a photo on Facebook, posted by Chae-Rin and it has you and Jimin tagged on it.
You start getting worried, what can this picture be?
You wait a moment for the picture to load and your jaw drops once you see a picture of you and Jimin's backs as you are holding him by his wrist while you drag him out of the shop in a rush to go 'help Eun-bi', then your eyes snap to see the caption she has written;
'Aren't they just cuties?'
In worry, you head to look to the comments, people you know and people that you don't know keep commenting stuff like;
'Omooo! Doesn't Jimin hate her? How's that possible?'
'OMG! I knew they were dating in secret!'
'Yes! They are soo cute!!'
Ooohh, what did you get yourself into, Y/N?
You shoot off your bed and rush to the living where you left Jimin and Eun-bi only to find them equally shocked as you while staring at their phones, probably looking at the same status you just saw.
"Jimin, what the fuck is going on?"
