Seven
Jimin woke up to an aching migraine. He looked around him for a moment and realized he was in an unfamiliar room still dressed in the party clothes from yesterday.
He took a long breath and got out of bed. He looked through the window and recognized the porch. He was still at Namjoon's house. He must have been too drunk to go home
He had a mild ache in his stomach and it made him feel unwell. He tried to remember what happened yesterday but his mind was totally foggy. He couldn't remember much of what happened but he couldn't stop this nasty feeling in his guts.
He vomited and washed his mouth in the toilet feeling better. He had to head back to the dorm and change his clothes. He still reeked of alcohol.
As he was about leaving, the door opened and Hoseok came in. Jimin was quite surprised to see him.
"Hey, what are you doing here?"
He didn't fail to notice the blush that had risen to his cheeks.
"Well, I was pre-occupied"
Jimin shook his head. He knew what pre-occupied meant to Hoseok. He raised an eyebrow suspiciously.
"You got laid last night didn't you?"
Hoseok was quiet before he laughed nervously.
"It just happened. It was the alcohol but I think he's okay" He stopped and chuckled "Well it can't be compared to the show you put up last night"
Taehyung was confused. "What show?"
Hoseok grinned "You mean you have forgotten what happened last night? It was epic!"
"I have no idea what you are talking about" he said shaking his head in confusion.
"Alright then, I'll give you a clue" Hoseok said and pursed his lips. He started making kissing sounds.
"What the hell are you?... "
Jimin froze. He remembered now. He had kissed his best friend Kim Taehyung in front of everyone at the party and the look in his eyes. He was filled with so much embarrassment.
He gasped. "Oh my god, what have I done?"
"Good, you remember"
"Is he here? Should I call him or something?" Jimin rambled on.
"First of all, calm down. He isn't here. He left after carrying you here. You were too drunk"
Jimin covered his face "I can't believe I did that? What got into me. I wonder what he must be thinking of me?"
Hoseok rolled his eyes "Don't make a big deal of it besides it seemed to make a great impression on Jungkook"
Jimin's eyes widened and he gazed at Hoseok.
"Really?"
Hoseok smirked. "I think you have gained his attention. You were hot as hell yesterday. Even the way you danced, you were like a professional stripper. He couldn't stop staring at you"
Jimin broke into smiles. He couldn't believe this. Could this really be true? Was Jungkook taking an interest in him? He shook his head.
"First, I have to apologize to Taehyung" He whispered. He thought of Jeonyeong. Perhaps, his plan had worked. Showing her he was gay was going to ruin every chance of her accepting the marriage proposal from his family. It worked far more than he expected except he hadn't wanted to use Taehyung.
His finger hovered over the call button on his phone.
"Are you going to call him or not?"
He kept his phone aside. "I'll call him later. I don't think I'm ready. It's too awkward"
"Or you can send him a text"
Jimin nodded. "Yeah, you're right. A text will do"
So he started to type on his phone.
Hey Tae, it's me Jimin.
I want to apologize for my behavior yesterday. It was inappropriate and uncalled for. I really hope you forgive me. It's okay if you don't. I'll understand but just in case you do, I'll know you have if you meet me at that garden close to the arts faculty by three am today.
Bye and love you always Jimin
He ended the text and sent it with a deep sigh. He looked at Hoseok and took a deep breath.
"I told him to meet me at the arts faculty garden. What if he doesn't show up"
Hoseok rolled his eyes. "Why are you overreacting. It's just Taehyung" He said and scoffed.
Hoseok was right. He couldn't understand why he was acting this way. This was so unlike him. What's wrong with him?
"Are you coming to the dorm with me?"
Hoseok bit his lips suddenly blushing. "Yoongi told me to stay here for a while...."
Jimin scoffed. "Don't you think you're being too easy?"
Hoseok frowned. "Did you just call me easy?"
Jimin shivered. "I'm sorry. It's just you barely know the guy.... I know him and trust me, he's a flirt"
"I can take care of myself thank you" Hoseok said in a hostile tone. Jimin sighed. He could see he had made his friend mad. He was about to apologize again when he glanced at his phone and saw that Taehyung had already read the message.
"See, he read it" He stopped and his head hung low. His face crumpled into sadness "But he isn't replying, not even to text me back" he whispered.
"Just give him time..." Hoseok mumbled recovering from his earlier anger with Jimin. The younger just shrugged.
"I'll be on my way Hoseok"
"Let me escort you" Hoseok said. They left the room together and surprisingly met Jungkook in the hallway.
He looked so hot early in the morning wearing a black tank top and black shorts. It seemed he had a fondness for the color black.
Jimin stiffened as soon as he saw him, trying hard to hide the blush on his cheeks.
Jungkook grinned. "Hey, I was just on my way to meet you"
Jimin stared at him shocked. "Me?"
Jungkook nodded, licking his lips "You were pretty hung over yesterday but... It was hot"
OMG. Jungkook was flirting with him. I repeat Jungkook was flirting with him. He blinked his eyes repeatedly and felt a light pinch at his back. Hoseok was giving him a warning look and he silently nodded.
"Thanks but I've got to get back to the dorm"
"I could drive you there"
Jimin thought he didn't hear well. "Really? You would drive me there?"
Jungkook nodded. Jimin wanted to protest but Hoseok pinched him again making him offer Jungkook a smile.
"Oh, alright thank you"
The younger clapped his hands like a child exposing his bunny smile.
"That's great. Wait for me here. Let me just change my clothes and grab my keys. I'll be back"
He ran off and Jimin squealed in excitement as he wrapped his arms around Hoseok.
"I can't believe this. Is this real? Could this be real?"
Hoseok smiled wryly "Oh, it's real dear. It's definitely real but don't make it too easy for him"
Jimin rolled his eyes "Like you are doing with Yoongi?"
Hoseok just scoffed. "I know what I'm doing. Just do what I say"
Jungkook returned and they both straightened themselves.
"Shall we?"
"Of course"
They left together and entered Jungkook's land cruiser. Hoseok waved to Jimin before they drove off.
There was silence in the car as Jimin kept checking his phone for any call or text from Taehyung while soft RnB music was playing from the radio.
"You've been checking your phone since. Are you expecting a call from someone"
Jimin hesitated but then realized he had nothing to hide.
"Well, it's Taehyung. I sent him a text this morning apologizing for what happened yesterday but he hasn't responded since then"
Jungkook seemed tense and gripped the steering wheel tighter.
"Oh Taehyung! you two are close aren't you?"
Jimin smiled brightly "Yeah, he's my best friend. We have been friends since high school"
Jungkook quietly nodded his head "mmh friends and nothing more?"
Jimin burst into laughter "me and Taehyung? No way we are only friends" Though he knew it wasn't the same for Taehyung.
Jungkook looked relieved.
"That's good. It means I still have a chance"
"Excuse me?"
"Nothing"
They arrived in front of the dorm and Jimin got out. He bowed his head
"Thank you" he whispered.
"You're welcome"
Jimin turned to go. "Hey Jimin!" Jungkook shouted making Jimin turn around. His cheeks were red.
"um, you can give me that call now"
"What?"
Jungkook blushed. "Remember when I told you not to call me, I take that back. You can call me anytime you want and maybe we can hang out sometime"
Jimin's heart did double flips. He couldn't believe what was happening. His wish was coming true. His destiny was changing. He smiled.
"I'll love that"
"Okay then" Jungkook said and drove off. Jimin watched the car until it was out of sight before he turned back to the dorm. As he walked, he noticed a familiar face staring at him from a distance. He paused and looked at the figure but before he could blink, it vanished.
Goose bumps spread across his upper arm as he wrapped his hands around his body walking into the dorm. That was strange. So strange.
Thanks for reading.
