"What are we going to do?" you ask while you rub your palm on your side to get rid of the cold feeling you got when he let go of your hand.

"I don't know," he sighs as he looks downward and continues walking with you following by his side, " We can't break up all of a sudden...She already had suspicions of us being fake and doing this would be a complete giveaway."

"True, very true," you agree with him and you both stay quiet for a few moments deep within your thoughts, "Okay," you speak up and he raises his head to look at you, "We don't know whether she's honest about this or not, so I say we keep things as they are."

"As they are?" Jimin looks at you with a questioning look not understanding what you mean.

You take a deep breath, yourself not exactly sure what you mean because things have become very complicated, especially with those kisses that have made you feel rather uneasy. After exhaling, you speak your mind, "I mean that whenever she or Cody is around we can be a bit more...I don't know couple-like with each other, like we've been until now," your voice goes quieter towards the end and you shrug not feeling as comfortable talking about this subject as you used to.

"I suppose that's not a bad idea...and it won't raise suspicions," Jimin shrugs as well agreeing with you. 

"It's a deal then," you state and then silence falls between the two of you again.

Damn, it's awkward, You think as you steal a glance from Jimin while stuffing your hands in your pockets for warmth.

What should I say to make it less awkward, aaahhh come on Jimin think, think, think, Jimin tells himself in desperate need for the tension to be released. To his dismay-or not- the only thing that jumps in his mind is the kiss you shared. The one that's clear in his memory that took place in the change of the year and the other one he witnessed through the screen of your phone. He wonders whether you remember the first one; if you enjoyed the way his lips felt against yours if he made you a good introduction into the world of kissing if you were pleased.

For a beginner she sure was good,  He thinks to himself and he can't help the smile that grows on his face. 

Wait a moment why am I thinking like that, stop. He scolds himself dissapointed in the way his mind traveled regarding you. You're in a fake relationship with him, a fake one, he has no right to think of you in such way and he won't- or he'll try it's not like he can control his mind.

"How are you handling the hangover?" he finally asks averting you from your thoughts that in cruel honesty, weren't much different from his.

"I want to go home and sleep it out but the fresh air isn't bad," You respond and he chuckles, "You?"

"I'm okay now," he responds after a quiet hum, "You know you turn into a flirt when you're drunk."

Now his words catch you off guard, "What?" 

Goodness, did I hit on him?

"I remember Jungkook took us at this place to drink coffee," Jimin begins and you struggle to summon the memory in your head, "And I left you alone for some reason I don't remember and by the time I was back you were all giggly with another guy."

"Ooooohhh!! The guy with the icy blue eyes and the nice ass!" you exclaim without thinking and you laugh later on remembering your antiques with him. You turn to look to look at Jimin and he's giving you a scowl, "What?" you ask amused.

"His ass wasn't that nice," he says with pouty lips, "Mine is way better."

A blush reaches his cheeks as he nervously looks around avoiding your eyes shocked with himself and the words he uttered. Clearly, he believes that his bottom is better but it's not necessary that he tells you that...

"Are you jealous?" You ask, once again without filtering your words, and this time it's your turn to blush out of embarrassment.

Jimin's eyebrows shoot up as he looks at you in shock making your cheeks a turn into a darker shade of pink, needless to say, he's amused by your boldness, "You're my fake girlfriend, of course, I'm fake jealous," he defends himself.

"Aha," you respond not daring to look at him digging in your mind to think of a way to turn this conversation into a joke and then it clicks. 

You stop walking and let Jimin walk a few steps ahead of you. While he's there you tilt your head to the side and pretend to be checking out his bottom. Missing your presence by his side Jimin stops and turns his upper torso to look at you quizzically-his bottom still visible to you, "What are you doing?"

"Comparing your ass to his,"  you furrow your eyebrows as if you're in deep thought and keep your eyes glued on his arse, "Can you turn a little bit? I wanna examine from another angle,"

"Wh-," Jimin stammers before he blushes and a shy smile expands on his lips, "Yaaaaaah," he yells cutely before he turns his body so that his bottom is out of your view.

"What?" you shrug as if you've done nothing wrong even though the smile on your face shows that you're enjoying his reaction, "I admit your dancer-booty is very nice however his still fascinates me more," you lie to drag the teasing more.

Jimin frowns thing that causes you to laugh, "You don't know the art of booties, shut up," he responds and you laugh harder which makes him joins, "We've said the words booty and ass too many times for the time span of two minutes," he continues.

"We're hangover it's okay," You sniff as you walk closer to him and smile, "I wonder what JiHyun and YeoWol are doing."

"I heard them discussing pick-up lines they were going to use on foreigner girls," Jimin shrugs nonchalantly and bites his lower lips as the wind hits against his face and sends chills down his spine.

"What type?" you ask with wide eyes concerned about what the two crackheads were going to use.

"You don't wanna know," Jimin shakes his head negatively wincing at the memory of a pick-up line they asked his opinion about.

"Try me," you challenge and he gives in with a sigh.

"It's your choice," he states, "Okay, here it goes, prepare to die. JiHyun told me; Having you in my life is like having a Swiss flag. It's a big plus."

You stay there looking at him, blinking your eyes open and closed trying to process the pick-up like, "They should burn in hell," you whisper in a serious voice and Jimin bursts out laughing throwing his head back and rising his shoulders upwards before he starts hitting your arm in an expression of his amusement.

"Why?" you question not phased by Jimin's reaction, "Like... Why!!?" you question again, this time your voice louder and more desperate and Jimin nearly falls on his knees on the sand, searching for his breath.

"You okay?" you break character and look down at him, ready to laugh with his condition.

"I'm okay," he breathes, his face red as looks up at you.

"You look like you're begging me for things, stand up," you mock and Jimin's stands up after he playfully glares at you.

"What should we do now?" he asks while he dusts the sand off of his pants.

"I don't know," you shrug feeling lighter now that the atmosphere between you and him is no longer this suffocating.

"Should we go back and wait for the others?" he asks with a shrug.

"Alright," you answer back with a shrug and you turn around and walk back towards where you came from.

And soon after you find yourself having a nice time with Jimin's parent's, JiHyun and YeoWol. You and Jimin mock JiHyun for getting slapped across by a foreigner for using a very inappropriate pick-up line and he brushes you off saying you're an annoying couple. 

The next days that you stay in Busan with Jimin are very enjoyable, in fact, you couldn't have them another way, well, excepting the constant teasing from JiHyun and YeoWol about not being a romantic enough couple, since you show almost zero skinship, but both you and Jimin managed to survive somehow.

Both of you have successfully managed to avoid talking about the little two intimate moments where you locked lips and don't really plan on mentioning them at all. Of course, that is if Jungkook decides to stay quiet as he is a witness of both incidents. Jimin, of course, approached the boy on the matter and told him to keep his mouth shut, claiming that you don't remember so it should stay that way and surprisingly the younger complied to his elder's wishes, despite his suspicions, besides, it's not his memory to share. However, after you did not show any signs to Jungkook that you remember and want to discuss this, he was convinced and agreed with what his elder said, hence is keeping his mouth shut for the time being.

Time flew and the three of you found yourselves traveling by train back to Seoul, not in the greatest mood to return back to responsibilities and reality.

"The songs are recorded," Jimin mumbles in thought, "Now me HoSeok and EunBi have to come up with choreographies, teach them to the others and then practice," he blankly stares at the back of the Jungkook is on, in front of him, "Ah, NamJoon and SeokJin are going to have a hard time," he winces knowing that the two members aren't ones to prefer expressing themselves through dance.

"It's going to be okay, you have time until then, it's going to be okay," you reassure him while you pat his shoulder and give him a kind smile.

"I'm nervous, what if it's not enough time to practice the choreographies and we end up embarrassing ourselves?" Jimin turns to look at you with wide eyes starting to get uneasy.

"Trust me you won't," You turn your body in your seat to fully face him and place your hands on each his arms, "All eight of you are very talented, the beginning will be a bit of a struggle, but you'll practice lots and you will do it. And even if you don't succeed who cares? It's only a competition, you're going for the fun of it not to come out first, even though I believe you will."

"You really think so?" Jimin questions quietly referring to her last words already feeling comforted by you.

"Of course, you all work very hard for this, and I wrote one of these songs so it's bound to win, duh," You joke and playfully flip your hear to your back like Divas do in movies and Jimin chuckles at your confidence.

"Well I hope it does," he smiles and you find yourself looking into his warm eyes and getting lost in them for a spear moment before Jungkook's head pops up from the front seat and he miserably says, 

"We're arriving at Seoul's train station."

"Why are you so miserable?" You ask him with worry.

"I don't want classes to start again, they're too much," he whines.

"You tell me," you respond quietly, "But hey, we have another week of freedom until then."

Jungkook nods his head and with a disappointed look turns back and sits on his seat appropriately returning to listening IU from his phone. Like the youngest said, soon after the train halts at Seoul's train station and all of you get off.  

"I suppose this is where we part," you tell Jimin as you set your bag down at the bus stop.

Jimin looks at you questioningly before he realizes that you're to wait in this bus stop, whereas he and Jungkook have to cross the road and the take the opposite route.

"Aaah," he gasps with wide eyes now having realized that the two of you will have to separate so soon, he got used to having you around him constantly, "Trueeeee," he drags the word in a shocked manner.

"Thank you," you tell him out of the blue and he looks at you confused.

"For what?" he pouts his lips.

"For bringing me to Busan with you," you speak truthfully, "Even though in the beginning it was weird and we had some...difficulties with Cody and ChaeRin, I enjoyed my self a lot and it surely was more fun and relaxing than it would be if I'd stayed here and watched K-dramas all the time."

A warm and genuine smile of satisfaction grows on Jimin's lips and his eyes from crescent moons, an eye-smile in other words.

Cute, You think while watching him.

"You're welcome," he responds, "And thank you," now you look at him quizzically, "For putting up with me and the whole ChaeRin situation," he looks down at the pavement shily.

"That's what friends are for."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I suppose i deserve a fine as hell torture for making you wait so long.

2018 had been kind of hellish to me and in the process I lost connection with this book and it was very hard for me to fix the link between me and it.

I had to reread the whole thing (i've so much editing to do on previous chapters, kill me) and today i read 43 chapters in one go because i wanted to finish with it so that i could start writting again.

I'm aiming to make a schedule and upload once a week ( i haven't figured out on which day yet)

Hopefully, i'll have better control of my life this year and reach my goals.

also

i'm kinda tragic, because in the storyline it's January 2017  and we're in 2019 lol i should have finished this long ago...

but better late than never, right?

ah, anyway...

I wanna thank you for sticking to this story so far, even if you're from the beginning or just got here. I'm genuinely greateful because your support has really helped me in some tough times and I'm not planning on letting you down.

Whether with a schedule or not XD this story will have closure and an ending!

I love you~~

ADIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIOOOOOOOOOOOOS
