10

Why of all days in the month, of all hours in the day, did it have to come NOW?

I'm gonna stain my leggings, and I'm around idols! OH MY GOSH!

I quit chasing Jimin as I internally panic, thinking of what I should do. They look at me clueless, wondering why I've suddenly stopped.

Obviously I need it covered, but I can't use my jacket! I'm only wearing a damn sports bra underneath! THIS IS A NIGHTMARE.

"Jimin," I say in a serious tone. "Hand me your jacket."

He looks at me confused, "is this how you ask someone for a favour?" He sticks his tongue out, continuing his teasing.

"Jimin, for once in your life, be serious and do me this favour." I show a hint of begging.

"Are you that cold that you need another jacket?" He chuckles. "In that case, you do need to warm up that attitude." I sigh deeply, not willing to take another of his bullshit.

Jungkook isn't wearing any jacket, so I have no other choice but to use my jacket. Perfect time to be wearing only sports bra right now Mia.

I reluctantly zip down my jacket and slip it off my shoulders, immediately exposing skin.

Jungkook jumps in surprise, quickly covering me with his torso and his arms around, without touching me.

I was touched by his actions, but I was too embarrassed to be thankful right now. Embarrassed from the sudden arrival of my period and from the over exposure of myself.

"Yah, what are you doing? Where are your clothes?" Jungkook says full of concern, looking away.

Jimin approaches us, also with a surprised look on his face, waiting for me to answer Jungkook's question.

I wrap the jacket around my waist, not needing to answer the question, knowing that they already get the message.

Jimin hastily takes off his jacket and puts it on my shoulder. The jacket gave me some sort of comfort, shield. I slide my hands through the holes and pull my hair out from the jacket. Jungkook moves away as Jimin fixes the jacket on me.

"You could've told me earlier." He stands in front of me, fiddling with the zipper as he pulls it up to my neck himself. My cheeks instantly heats up.

He was so close.

I look down, hoping the cap would cover my reddened face, but I slip a glimpse of smirk on his face.

Damn it.

Jungkook awkwardly pats my back, trying to comfort me. I chuckle at his innocence.

"I'll give your jacket back." I softly look up at Jimin in gratitude.

"It's fine if you don't. It doesn't matter. Do you need anything?"

I hesitantly nod and he chuckles.

We all stroll to the convenient store in awkward silence. I spend the whole time cussing to myself and cursing my life from all the unluckiness.

"Jimin," I whisper as we arrive. "I didn't bring any money." I don't know how I still managed to survive after saying this. My period comes, I need pads, and I have no fucking money.

"I'll pay for it then." He chuckles as I notice his cheeks blushes. I feel SO bad right now.

Jungkook sits by the small tables outside, as Jimin and I walk our separate ways into the store. I quickly grab a packet of pads with wings and head to the counter.

I see him waiting by the counter with his card out.

"Aww, you're so lucky to have such a sweet boyfriend." The lady marks the items with a charming smile on her face.

"Uh- no..." I stutter, shaking my head while looking at Jimin's tomato face, which my face automatically copies. I look down burying my hands into the pocket of his jacket.

I stay silent, hearing my thumping heart constantly punching my chest. I take deep breaths, trying to calm my heart down without being obvious.

"Here." He hands me the plastic bag with his cute as fuck eye smile. I receive it as we both exit the store. I search through the bag, seeing items other than my pads.

A milk box and a block of chocolate?

I pull them out from the bag and hand them to him, but he pushes it away from him.

"Huh?"

"They're for you. I mean- I don't know exactly what you may want to eat, but I know you guys crave for some sweet. I added milk as your drink." He explains.

I was left blushing, and speechless. "O-oh," I stumble, "thanks." I softly thank him, looking down, still covering my face with my cap.

He chuckles lightly, covering his smile with his hands. "Are you heading back home?" He asks as Jungkook approach us.

"I'm gonna go to a public toilet first. You guys can head back-"

"No," Jungkook cuts me off, "we'll wait, we'll walk you home."

Really man, please just go back. I appreciate the thoughtfulness, but please don't make me embarrassed even more. Someone help me out of this misery.

I internally cry, but I don't think these two will budge, so I let them.

. . .

I step out from the toilet, my eyes set on the two hot guys waiting. Somehow, I feel a very awkward vibe between the two. They were extremely quiet, just staring at me.

"Alright, let's go." I break the silence and start walking first. Jungkook jogs to catch up to me, and Jimin stays walking behind us mutely.

"Are you feeling any better? Are you in pain?" I sense a hint of worry from Jungkook.

"I'm fine," I chuckle, "I'm not bleeding to death, okay?" He laughs, fixing his hair.

"And- don't mention this to anyone," I say intimidatingly. "Don't remind me about this again, pretend this whole thing ever happened." Jungkook nods his head slowly, probably scared of me.

"Got that?" I snap my head behind me, looking at Jimin who has been suspiciously silent the whole time, which I don't mind at all. I continue to glare at him, waiting for his response. Then that look- the confidence on his face reappears.

"Hmm.. I'll..." He drags, ".... think about it." He smirks.

Great, he's back.

My resting face displays on my face, automatically looking like a bitch. I roll my eyes, about to enter the building of my dorm. But I stop and turn around, seeing two pairs of eyes on me.

"Uh," I forgot what I was gonna say. "Oh, this will be the last saying this," I pause. "Thank you. I'll return your jacket, and please forget about this." I rush inside towards my dorm before seeing both of their reactions, but I hear soft laughs from the distance.

I immediately dash towards the bathroom for a wash. I see Hyeji, no different from earlier, still a lifeless lump on the bed.

It's good that she's still asleep, I don't wanna have to mention this to her, because that girl can't keep her damn mouth shut.

I throw everything in the washing, except for Jimin's jacket. I hold it gently with both hands in front of me. I unconsciously smile at it, remembering the sweet things he's done for me. My nose senses its smell.

I could smell his sweat from this jacket. Usually, I should feel grossed out by that, but his sweat somehow doesn't stink. This is fucking hot.

I shake my head from my disgusting thoughts. I place it next to my bathrobe, before heading in the shower.

Author's POV
<earlier>

The boys wait by the nearby tree to take shade from the rising sun, waiting for Mia.

"Jungkook," Jimin says softly. "Are you... interested in Mia?" He hesitantly asks.

Jungkook was quiet for a while, gathering his thoughts.

"I- guess so. I mean- I've already noticed Mia before we all introduced one another." Jimin raises his eyebrows in question.

"She was practising in the vocal training room by herself. I was walking past, when I heard her sing. Her voice was so calming and soothing, yet so powerful every time she hits the high notes." Jungkook continues.

Jimin observes Jungkook closely as he talks about her.

"Do you perhaps, like her?"

A/N: Okay, I've realised how cliche my endings always are for each chapter. Especially since it's questions about liking, or flirting with Mia. But I have no better cliffhangers, so please bear with me.

Also, while I was rereading this, checking for grammatical errors, I cringed a lot whenever Mia thought how hot Jimin was and his sweat. EUGH.

But thank you for reading!
