After you returned to the practice room the boys had already started warming up. Hoseok gave you a glance and truth be told, you were almost frightened by it. Now, you believe EunBi when she'd told you that HoSeok can get pretty scary when it comes to his work. Especially if his work includes dancing. Nevertheless, as you sat down on the floor, to take a breather from the day's work out and wait for them to finish the rest of their warm-up, HoSeok came and sat down next to you with his legs crossed. You gave him a weirded out gaze, preparing yourself to most likely hear a not so mentally uplifting speech from the harshest judge in this building. 

"Y/N...," he begins and you gulp down your saliva, there's already sweat dripping down from HoSeok's forehead and the way he is looking at YoonGi and SeokJin who are doing some movements from the choreography in a rather silly way is truly unkind.

"Yes?" you ask with hesitation.

When his eyes shift to you they appear to soften, it puts at ease by a little bit. "I just wanted to say thank you for doing this for us and don't worry too much about your dancing, okay? As long as you want it, you'll master and me and Jimin- even the rest of the guys- are here to help you."

To say that you're not caught off guard by the softness of his voice and his kind words, that would be a huge fat lie. But the relief that you feel when you process and understand the meaning of his words is huge.

"Wow, uh...thanks Hobi," you look down at the floor and awkwardly rub your forearm, "I just want you guys to get what you deserve. I'm glad you're not chopping my head off if I'm frank."

HoSeok chuckles at the last comment and after he takes a sharp inhale he says, "I get a little bit passionate about dance, I'm sorry if it intimidated you."

"I understand don't worry," you smiled at him and he patted your back before he sat up and clapped his hands to gather everyone's attention.

The real practice has begun.

To not be too detailed on it, by the end of this everyone's legs felt like jell-o. At some point, TaeHyung may have mentioned that he'd lost the feeling of his legs but again that could've been his dramatic self being dramatic.

"I love Hoseok," you heave as you lie like a starfish on the floor, "But man I'm never signing up for his classes."

Jimin, who is standing above you, hears your comment and laughs, only seconds later for him to be laying down next to you with a red face and he too heaving for air.

"Hey, hey! Why are the two of you lying down?" Hoseok's voice booms and you can see him from the wall mirror that he's pointing at the two of you, "We have to do cool down exercises!"

You groan. Loudly. If Jimin had a breath he would laugh but Jungkook did in his place.

"Y/N is so relatable right now," Yoongi chuckles.

"Why don't you join them?" Taehyung asks him.

"If I lie on the floor now, you're not getting me up until after the competition," Yoongi mutters and he earns a snicker from SeokJin who's leaning on the wooden ballet barre for support.

"Come on everybodyyyy," HoSeok chimes and starts doing the cool down exercises to motivate everyone to follow him.

"I'm definitely the good teacher," Jimin mumbles as he sits up on the floor and then stands up to his feet with whatever strength he has left. 

He looks down at you and honestly, it doesn't look like you're going to get up any time soon. Without assistance at least. Ergo, Jimin extends his arm for you to take and pulls you up. You're not sure where he found the strength to that, but his bicep certainly looked very cool through the while sleeve of his shirt.

"Thanks," you squeak once you're standing up. Suddenly, you miss the ground, "And yes you are."

Jimin chuckles and smirks at your response to his self-praising comment but as you move forward to have a better view and space to look at Hoseok and repeat his movements, Jimin's smirk fades as that uncomfortable feeling sinks in him again. What was that? Did you just flirt with him? After that sudden hug? And does that feeling mean he is not fond of the concept of you having a crush on him? Wait- do you even have crushes? Huh, he's now realized that you too are indeed a woman who would probably like a relationship with someone at some point. 

That makes perfect sense, but why in the world does it feel so unnatural to him? It's stupid, but-

"Hey, Jimin!" Hoseok calls out on him and cuts his train of thought, "Everyone's doing the exercise do you wanna stop daydreaming and show some care for your body?"

"Ah- y-yes, Hoseok," Jimin stammers and starts doing the exercises.

Not much later, all of you people have changed into your fresh and dry clothes. As you're walking out of the building and to the sidewalk, you inhale the fresh air- or as fresh as a capital City's air can be- you hear SeokJin make a suggestion.

"I don't know about you guys but I'm famished and I'm not going to cook anything, nor am I willing to wait fourty minutes for the delivery to arrive."

There's a moment of silence where all you are just exchanging weird looks with each other, that is until TaeHyung makes a brilliant suggestion,

"Should we go out at that restaurant that's down the block and eat? We haven't been to that granny's place in a long time and to be honest, I've kinda missed her cooking," Taehyung shrugs and nearly everyone starts making some sort of vocal expression. Some praising Taehyung for his quick thinking, some in satisfaction of how good that granny's food is and some are just whining about wanting to go home already. You're just staring at all of them in awe not entirely sure of how to react. You're hungry as hell, that's a fact, however, you've never eaten at that place before, or, at least you don't recall having eaten there right now.

Jimin notices your perplexed expression and he tilts his head to look at you in question, wondering why you're reacting so. 

"What's wrong?"

"I'm just curious why that restaurant is getting such a...vivid reaction," you state.

"Oh well...only because it's the best place there is to get food after such a tiring practice. We used to go there nearly every day some time ago," he explains and your eyebrows raise in interest.

"Are we gonna get going or are we gonna stay here and only dream of delicious food?" NamJoon, well, he yells with a raspy voice and moves his body- out of excitement- in such a way that has him trip and fall down on his face.

"Take it easy, NamJoon," Hoseok chuckles as he helps him get up. After the circus show with NamJoon is finished all of you decided to head over to the restaurant with SeokJin on your lead. You began to make way to follow alongside Jungkook and Taehyung but Jimin held you back for a few seconds so the two of you could stay behind. After he was satisfied with the distance he started walking and you followed next to him.

"Everything alright?" You ask him.

"Me? Yeah," he nods his head but doesn't proceed to further explain why he had you stay behind.

"Then why..." you begin but as you look at him he seems to be in a sort of trance. You're not sure if he's even listening to your voice.

"Oh- yeah," he snaps back to reality, "I just wanted to tell you that you did a very good job today. And there definitely was an improvement from your first try this morning to the last one we had twenty minutes ago," he says and your heart swells at his words.

"You think so?" you ask with hope, "Wait- you're not lying to make me feel better, are you?"

"I've no reason to lie. I'm just giving you some feedback and I'm doing it now because I don't know if I'll have the chance to do it later." He shrugs.

You stop walking and after a step he stops as well. He looks at you quizzically.

"Thank you," you begin, "You've been very, very helpful today, aside from just being a good dance teacher you've also been a good friend and I really appreciate it," you say and a pink blush of embarrassment makes its presence known on your cheeks. You didn't think you'd be this open to him this early into your guys' newborn friendship but you're accepting it no matter what. And with the thought of how good a friend Jimin is, without thinking really, you give him another hug. 

There it goes again.

Jimin thinks as the feeling comes back again and honestly, he's caught off guard too much to react. Sure, he's been more intimate with you, but those actions in those times...they weren't really coming from an honest and caring place. It was more of a show for everyone else, so now...that it's definitely real it's weird to him. Especially since he's not sure whether the reasons are...romantic or that's just simply how you show appreciation towards your friends. 

But again, he's seen you around the members and even EunBi and he definitely doesn't remember you initiating much physical contact. Which makes him feel more and more alert.

"Now, come on, let's go catch up with the others. We don't wanna lose them," you tell him with a pat on his shoulder before you turn around and walk away from him and towards your friends.
