29 ~ Lucky Charm
You guys are just too nice and supportive to be real 🥺
///
"Let's run it one more time!" The dance coach yelled as the group drank their last sip of water before starting again.
Jimin and Jungkook were both nearly dead on the floor from exhaustion as they came earlier to run through the dance by themselves.
The both groaned as they stood up, feeling their muscles stretching in agony.
They got into their positions and began to run through it again.
You decided to visit the practice room on your way home from work that day, considering it was only a three or four minute walk from the diner and it was on your route home anyways.
Well that's what you tell yourself is the reason for why you decided to show up, when in reality you just wanted to see Jimin.
The doorway was open and you leaned against the door frame and watched as they all danced their hearts out.
Their backs were facing you and they were looking at a mirror that stretched along the wall.
Jimin noticed the extra presence and looked at you in the mirror and saw your face in awe of how quick his feet were moving.
Your eyes met in the mirrors reflection and he winked cheekily at you before he paid his attention back to the dance and you were thankful as you blushed heavily when he did so.
You continued to watch quietly as all the dancers worked diligently. You saw bodies doing flips of some sort and legs in the air and feet going a million miles per minute yet they hit every beat together and on time.
It was amazing to watch.
They ended together revealing a very unique last pose.
"Now how come you are only mediocre one minute and then you dance like that Jimin, as if you were born to perform that dance. Something must be different..." the coach said and squinted his eyes while glancing around the room until his eyes fell on you.
He clicked his fingers and turned Jimin to face you even though you were both on opposite sides of the room.
"She's your lucky charm now" he said and Jimin chuckled with heavy breaths after the dance.
"And there is no possible way that I just "focused more" or "I got a sudden rush of energy"?" Jimin asked and his coach shook his head.
"No, I know how you dance when those things happen. This is something different and she's the only thing different I see" he shrugged his shoulders and Jimin just laughed at his eccentric coach.
"Fair enough" Jimin brushed his hair back as his breathing calmed a bit.
He jogged over to where you were standing. "What are you doing here?" He asked politely with a smile.
"I thought I'd swing by on my way home" you told him and he nodded.
"Oh well, coach said you're my lucky charm" he admitted and you smiled brightly.
"Well let's hope my lucky traits don't wear off of you by tomorrow then" you said and Jimin shook his head.
"Nah that will never wear off" he nudged you playfully.
"Okay group huddle!" The coach announced and Jimin began slowly walking backwards towards the huddle.
"Are you going...or do you wanna.."
"I can wait until you finish" you said flustered and Jimin smiled brightly before turning around and walking properly to the group.
"Now we are not going to panic, right?" The coach asked and there was a few slight nods. "Oh come on guys, the competition of our lifetimes are tomorrow and we have worked our butts off for this performance, yeah? So no one is going to stress. Remember the judges are there to give you the points you deserve, you guys just need to prove that you deserve full, yes?" The group began to nod. "Good, now go home and eat then sleep. We have a bright and early start tomorrow I will see you all at the seven fifteen am practice tomorrow before we leave" he reminded the group and then said that everyone could leave.
The group started clapping as a kind of like motivation gesture towards one another and then grabbed their bags before leaving.
You stood outside in the hallway and waited for Jimin to come along. As people filed out slowly one person came over and stood by you.
It turned out to be Minho.
"You broke him you know" he deadpanned.
"No I'm pretty sure that was all you" you said, your face holding a blank expression.
"He used to love going to parties, now he never goes" he began. "He used to have a separate life that doesn't revolve around you. You had taken over everything he loved then we tried to help him out and now he's back to thinking you're the only human that matters" he grunted and shook his head.
"You tried to help him? You were killing him with your dumb ass cigarettes" you retaliated.
At this point practically everyone left the room except for Jungkook and Jimin.
"Woowww. We have a perfect princess over here. To pussy to even have a drag of a cig" he taunted. "Bet your daddy told you not to smoke because you're his precious daughter"
You rolled your eyes.
"You have no idea what my life is like you prick" you seethed as your eyes began to tear slightly.
"Right" he mimicked you rolling your eyes. "Look we are going to win this competition tomorrow and after we are going to go and celebrate it after the win. Jimin is going to come and you are not because you're just going to be your usual buzzkill self. And no body likes a buzzkill. Capiche?"
Oh wow, he's suddenly Italian, you mentally spoke to yourself.
"I would never stop him from doing something like that. In fact I've never told him to stop doing anything he made the decisions by himself" you informed.
"Alright Princess, go home and tell mommy and daddy that their precious darling is in fact doing a perfect job of being a little bitch" he taunted before winking and leaving you to deal with the tears built up in your eyes.
Jimin appeared out the door with Jungkook behind him a few minutes later.
"Sorry, we were talking to coach- Hey, are you okay?" He said after seeing the tears in your eyes.
"Oh yeah, yeah, I'm fine I think I just got some dust in my eye" you admitted and Jimin nodded.
The three of you exited the building and Jungkook nudged Jimin discreetly after seeing Minho alone a few meters in front of them.
Jungkook then gestured to you and I looked at him as to say, do you think he said something to her? And he shrugged but both the boys had a feeling that he did.

The sound of knuckles thumping on your door at three in the morning is what woke you up.
Sowon just groaned loudly and waited until you got up to open the door.
You got up and stumbled towards the door and you opened it to reveal Jimin pacing around nervously.
"Chim?-"
"I'm freaking out" he huffed with a shaky voice. "I told myself I would practice the dance one more time before tomorrow and now I can't get it and I'm messing up more moves. I just don't know what to-" he whined.
You walked into the hallway and closed the door behind you so that So could sleep peacefully.
"Woah, woah, woah, calm down. You're over-working yourself and stressing, of course you're going to mess up when you're like this. You need to sleep Jimin" you told him.
"It's not even that late-"
"It's three am" you cut him off and his eyes widened.
"It's not three-"
You pulled out your phone and showed him the time.
His faced turned from worried to realization that it is in fact three am and then he began to smirk.
"Why the smirk?"
"Cute wall paper" is all he answered and you put the phone away with a slight blush.
It was a picture of the two of you.
"Just go to sleep, yeah? When you wake up tomorrow you can run through it with the whole group" you said to him and he smiled.
"Yeah, you're right sorry about this" he scratched the back of his neck awkwardly.
"No need to be sorry just don't come and wake up again because that would just be an asshat move" you admitted truthfully.
"Well you are talking to the asshat of asshats" he proudly boasted.
You tapped his shoulder. "That's not something to be proud of" you told him and he chuckled.
"Night muffin" he said and you waved to him as he walked back down to his dorm.
The feeling of wanting to run down to his dorm and jump into the bed with him and cuddle him to death was overwhelming.
Maybe you were ready to be with him properly.
And the idea of that thought was what your dreams consisted of that night.
///
It was six thirty in the morning.
Three and a half hours after Jimin was freaking out outside your dorm and you were making your way to Jimin's dorm.
You knocked hesitantly.
Jimin opened the door and was surprised to see you. You could see that he was in the middle of getting ready for practice.
"What are you doing here, the competition doesn't start until two" he said but nevertheless he let you enter.
You stumbled over to his bed and flipped onto it.
"I wanted to make sure you were alright before you went off to your early practice" you mumbled and he cooed at you in your pajamas with bed hair.
"You didn't have to do that" he said and you nodded.
"Wanted to" is all you said and before you knew it you were drifting off to sleep.
Jimin just chuckled and continued getting ready and before he knew it, it was time to leave. He didn't want to wake you up for the third time (even though the second time you got up voluntarily) so he left you to sleep peacefully.
He walked out of the bathroom after brushing his teeth and went to grab his keys and he saw you cuddling one of his pillows your nose nested into the fabric as you slept.
He walked over and place a gentle peck yo your head and left for his practice with a skip in his step.
///
The building where the national competition was being held on the other side of the town which forced you to take a bus trip there. You were after buying a ticket and you were making your way inside the building searched for a free seat and you saw a free spot beside a woman.
"Excuse me, is someone sitting- Oh Jiyun?" You said after Jimin's mother turned to look at you and her eyes grew wide.
"Oh it's so lovely to see you y/n" Jiyun said, standing up from her seat to give you a hug which you gladly returned. "Are you here to see him?"
"Yeah, he asked me a few days ago so I agreed to come" you spoke and she smiled again.
"So does that mean you two are together again?" She's asked excitedly.
"No we are just friends for the moment" you said and she nodded.
You then began to fill her in on aimless things that have happened to you since you last saw her until the show began.
Group after group, dance after dance, the time flew by as you and Jiyun watched in awe at the talent.
Jimin's group hasn't danced yet but you were very excited for them to. Every time the over head speaker announced a new group you were hoping it would be his group.
But unfortunately every time it wasn't.
There was a group of students in the middle of a routine when Jimin's coach came out from a door at the side of the room that led to the backstage area.
He scanned the large audience and his eyes fell on you.
He got your attention and gestured for you to follow him so you made it out of the row of seats and walked with him through the backstage door.
"Jimin just began to freak out, out of no where and Jungkook said to come get you" he explained.
"Is he okay?" You asked worriedly.
"Well hopefully when he sees you he will be" he turned a sharp corner and entered the first door on his left and you walked in to see all the group members looking at you expectantly.
All of them had hope spark in their eyes, knowing the affect you had on Jimin.
Well everyone but Minho and his group had hope, they looked more pissed off than anything else.
"He's over here" the coach said and guided you over to the bathroom.
You opened the door to see him crying on the floor against the wall. Once you entered the coach and Jungkook left.
"Chim what happened" you sat down and asked him, sweeping the loose hairs out of his eyes.
"I don't know. I panicked" He sniffled. "I always got nervous like this before competitions but then I used to...go out and just smoke...a-and then all my nerves used to disappear" he explained and you nodded.
"You need to calm down firstly, okay?" You asked and he nodded before beginning to take deep breaths. "That's good, deep breaths are good" you encouraged him.
Then a realization hit you.
"You didn't change your patch this morning did you?" You asked and Jimin began thinking back to what he did this morning and shook his head after realizing that he forgot to.
"I forgot, I'm sorry"
"Don't be sorry, it's okay" you said softly. "I'll be back in two seconds" you whispered before standing up and walking to the door where all the dancers in his group were.
"Jungkook give me a patch" you asked him and he ran to his gear bag and grabbed some for you.
In the meantime Minho just rolled his eyes at you. "Like that'll help" he scoffed loud enough for you to hear him.
You didn't want to stir shit up so you just left him with a glare as Jungkook handed you a patch.
You thanked him and walked back into Jimin after closing the door. "Okay so I'm going to change the patch now anyways. Alright?" He nodded sheepishly.
"I felt like I couldn't breath" he said mindlessly thinking.
"That's a panic attack for you" you told him and he looked at you.
"So this is what you felt that time?" You nodded.
You rubbed his arm after putting the patch on it.
"Feeling anyway better?" You asked.
"The panic attack is gone, but I still really want a cigarette" he said truthfully.
"I don't know how to stop that" you said disappointed, wishing you could help him.
"Just sit with me please" he asked and you nodded you sat against the wall beside him and put your head on his shoulder as he grabbed your hand and began to kiss it softly.
"You're gonna kill it, you always do you know" you told him and he smiled.
"You're too good to me" he admitted.
There was a knock at the door and the coach's voice was heard. "We are on next!" He said urgently and Jimin was quick to stand up before turning to pull you up with him.
You opened the door and the whole team was relieved to see Jimin looking a lot better.
"You really are his lucky charm" the coach sighed in relief. "Now everyone out and wait by the wings of the stage, go, go, go" he exclaimed. Everyone filed out of the room and before Jimin left you pulled him back quickly.
"You're gonna do great, I love you" you whispered.
"love you too" he replied and you quickly pecked his lips.
"You get the rest of it when you're finished" you teased.
"Wait you want to go back to being-"
"As much as I want to discuss this with you right now, you have a show to perform" you reminded him and he nodded before hugging you once more and bolting away.
I am ready for this, you thought.
You were ready for your boyfriend.
