Chapter 18 - chapter 18

 I quickly shut my mouth.

Before I could say anything else, Jimin grabbed Yoongi by the collar of his T-shirt and pulled him closer.

They stared at each other eyes sharp, breathing tense.

 "Oh shit. " Jin muttered before running away.

 "Who was that?" I whispered from inside the bathroom, panic rising.

 "Jin," Jimin answered, pushing Yoongi back slightly.

 "I'll get it for you," Jimin said softly before standing up.

 

 ****

 At the Store

Every girl turned the moment Jimin walked in.

Who wouldn't?

Cute. Tall. Playful. Rich.

The kind of boy girls only dreamed of dating.

 Whispers followed him.

"Who is he…?"

 "Why isn't he an idol?"

"So handsome…"

 He walked up to the counter.

 "Hi," he said casually, leaning closer. "There's something on your face."

". What?" the seller asked, startled.

"Beauty," he replied smoothly, tucking her hair behind her ear.

She blushed. Laughed.

 "What can I get you?" she asked shyly.

"And… can I have your number?"

 "Numbers don't matter," he joked. "Why don't we just talk more often?"

She smiled wider.

 "And," he added, "I need a sanitary pad."

 Silence.

The fantasy shattered instantly.

"A… pad?" she repeated.

 He nodded.

She turned around, grabbed a pack, and handed it to him.

"Is there medicine for pain?" he asked.

 "Sorry," she said quietly.

He nodded, slid his card into the machine, and took the bag.

 "The change is yours," he said before walking out.

 *****

 Bathroom::

The bathroom was quiet. Too quiet.

"Yoongi?" I asked softly.

No answer.

 "Yoongi…" I whispered again, fear creeping in.

"Yes?" he replied.

Relief washed over me.

"Oh… I thought you left," I said, biting my lip.

 "Do you need anything?" he asked gently.

"Should I come in?"

Come in… for what?

 "I I'll return your jacket," I said awkwardly.

"And maybe… if you keep talking."

Silence.

Then

"Like what?"

I froze. He actually responded.

 "Why are you and Jimin enemies?" I asked.

 "Should I get you a drink?" he replied, clearly dodging.

"No. I don't take drinks when I'm on my period."

"Oh," he said quietly.

At that moment, Jimin came running back, breathing hard.
