* DIFFERENT SHADE OF US * Yoonmin Short Stories [Side Ships Taekook, Namjin, Jackhope]
" Cold Hands, Warm Hearts¹ " Episode 1 "The Rehearsal Room War"
[University Arts Building - Evening]
Park Jimin
(kicks open door):
Seriously?! AGAIN?!
Min Yoongi
(looks up from piano):
...You're loud.
Park Jimin
Loud? YOU'RE the one stealing my rehearsal room every day!
Min Yoongi
It's not yours, Park Jimin. First come, first serve.
Park Jimin
Well, I came here to dance, not listen to your sad piano symphony.
Min Yoongi
🙃 Then go dance in the hallway. Plenty of echo there.
Park Jimin
(gasps):
You little—
Kim Taehyung
(pokes head in):
Oh no... not again.
Jeon Jungkook
Maybe we should just let them fight it out 🤭.
Park Jimin
Not helping, Jungkook!
Min Yoongi
(starts playing piano louder):
Some of us are trying to work, not gossip.
Park Jimin
That's it! I'm telling the faculty!
Min Yoongi
Go ahead. I'll still finish before you.
Park Jimin
(grits teeth):
We'll see about that.
(Jimin storms out, slamming the door. Yoongi smirks slightly but pauses when he sees Jimin's forgotten dance bag on the floor.)
Min Yoongi
(sighs):
...Idiot forget his bag again.
Min Yoongi
Tch. Why does he always smell like vanilla and trouble?
"Cold Hands, Warm Hearts" Episode 2 "Unwanted Duet "
[Next Day - Morning, Campus Café]
Namjoon
So... You and Yoongi fought again?
Park Jimin
He's impossible Cold, Rude, Lazy—
Seokjin
(laughing):
Sounds like love to me. 😉
Park Jimin
What?! No! I'd never fall for him!
Jung Hoseok
That's what every couple says before kissing in the rain... ☔
Jackson Wang
I give it a week before they're sharing coffee.
Park Jimin
You all need help. 😑
[Meanwhile across the café, Yoongi sits with earphones, secretly watching Jimin laugh with his friends.]
Min Yoongi
(thinking):
...Why does his laugh make everything so damn noisy yet peaceful?
[Music Department - Afternoon]
Park Jimin
(enters the studio):
Don't tell me you're here AGAIN. 😧
Min Yoongi
(without looking up):
Don't tell me you're still this noisy.
Park Jimin
You really have a talent to ruinning my mood.
Min Yoongi
I could say the same.
[They glare at each other. Taehyung suddenly bursts in with a paper in hand.]
Kim Taehyung
GUYS! You're paired for the Winter Art Festival! 😆
Jeon Jungkook
(grinning):
The dance and music departments are doing duets this year. You two are partners!
Min Yoongi
(groans):
Who hated me this much in past life?
Park Jimin
I'm not dancing to your gloomy piano tunes!
Min Yoongi
(deadpan):
Great. A dancing sunshine glued to me for a month.
Park Jimin
(mocking):
At least sunshine makes people happy. You're like a walking cloud ☁
Min Yoongi
Then don't caught in my rain.
[Silence. They stare at each other — tension thick, but eyes linger a second too long.]
Jeon Jungkook
Uh... should we go?
Kim Taehyung
Yeah... They're doing that stare thing again.👀
Cold Hands, Warm Hearts Episode 3 "Warmth In His Music"
[Jimin dances: Yoongi plays a melody on piano. They keep avoiding eye contact.]
Park Jimin
(breathing hard):
It's too slow.
Min Yoongi
The music's not the problem. The dancer is.
Park Jimin
Oh really? Then let's see you do it better!
Park Jimin
Figures. Too cold to move anyway.
[Yoongi suddenly stands, walks over, and grabs Jimin's wrist gently.]
Min Yoongi
Stop rushing. Feel the beat... not your ego.
[He places Jimin hand on his chest where the rhythm matches the piano tempo.]
Min Yoongi
Hear it? That's music.
Park Jimin
(softly):
Yeah... and it's warm.
[They release how close they are — eyes meet breath shared — both step back quickly.]
Min Yoongi
Practice's over.
Park Jimin
(flustered):
F-fine. Don't think I'll go easy tomorrow!
[Yoongi hides a small smile as Jimin storms out.]
Min Yoongi
(muttering):
You already make it impossible to focus, Park Jimin.
[Next Day — Rehearsal Room]
Park Jimin
(Walks in):
I'm early today. Let's see who takes the room first now.
Min Yoongi
(already sitting at the piano):
...Too slow, dancer boy.
Park Jimin
You—?! How early do you come here?!
Min Yoongi
Before sunrise, apparently earlier than your temper.
Park Jimin
(throws bag down):
Fine! Let's just practice before I lose it.
[Yoongi calmly starts playing; Jimin begins dancing with sharp moves.]
Min Yoongi
You're too aggressive. The music's about emotions, not war.
Park Jimin
Maybe my emotion is memory! You started it!
Min Yoongi
(smirks slightly):
Them fight properly — match my rhythm.
[Jimin glare but follows the beat. The tension turns into silent focus. For the first time, their movement sync — Jimin's dance flows perfectly with Yoongi's piano.]
Park Jimin
(breathing hard):
... That actually felt, good.
Min Yoongi
Because you finally listened.
Park Jimin
(roll eyes):
Don't act like a teacher.
Min Yoongi
Someone has to fix your chaos.
[Yoongi stands, walking past him. Their shoulders brush lightly — Jimin freezes for a second.]
Park Jimin
(thinking):
Why did that... feel warm?
[Taehyung runs up to Jimin, grinning.]
Kim Taehyung
How's practice with grumpy Yoongi Hyung?
Park Jimin
Annoying. He talks like I'm a beginner!
Jeon Jungkook
But you didn't quit. 👀
Park Jimin
I'm not quitting just because he's rude! I'll show him I can dance to any music — even his boring ones!
Kim Taehyung
Ooo— so it's personal now.
Park Jimin
Yeah. I'll make him admit I'm good.
[That Evening - Yoongi's POV]
[Yoongi plays alone, the same melody Jimin danced to earlier.]
Min Yoongi
(thinking):
He's loud... childish... stubborn.
[He stops playing, a small smile forming]
Min Yoongi
(thinking):
But for some reason... the room felt less empty today.
