Chapter 3

═════════════════╗

The tension in the air was thick. No one knew how to start a conversation but eventually Jin cleared his throat and said, "So, are you guys Freshmen? This is my last year of college. Joon here, is a Junior year along with Yoongi."

"Yeah, we both are Freshers." Jimin said awkwardly. They weren't used to sitting with the popular group and being in the spotlight.

"Oh, then that means you guys are one year behind us! We are Sophomores." Hoseok said putting his hand on Jungkook's shoulder. Jimin and Taehyung thought Jungkook would brush Hoseok's hand away but they were surprised when Jungkook didn't really react.

"Really? Then what are you guys majoring in?" Jimin mustered the courage to ask. Jin proudly smiled and said. "I am majoring HRM and when I'm done with university, I want to start a simple cafe for a start" he said.

"Jimin, you already know that we are majoring in dance!" Hoseok whined while Jimin laughed, " Sorry hyung." he said.

"Anyway, Yoongi and Jungkook are both majoring in business and Namjoon hyung is majoring in medicine." Hoseok continued. Jimin looked towards Yoongi but the man was already staring at him.

"You're cute" ,he suddenly said. Jimin's face flushed at the sudden compliment. "Th-thank you?" Jimin answered questioningly. He wasn't sure of what to say. "Do you guys have girlfriends? Or well, boyfriends?" Jin suddenly asked.

The both panicked at the question for they weren't sure if the guys would laugh or be disgusted at them when they wouldn't tell them that they are gay. "Because as you guys probably know, Namjoon is my boyfriend. So you guys better keep your eyes off him" Jin warned. Namjoon awkwardly scratched his head and smiled.

Jimin and Taehyung were relieved for they weren't homophobic. "Um, no we don't have one. We are too busy with university to think about that." ,Taehyung shyly said.

"Ohh, that is weird because you guys are so cute and handsome that anyone might fall for you" ,Jin said.

"But of course, I am more handsome than anyone!" he sassily said while flipping his non existent long hair.

The two laughed and finally the tension decreased. Jungkook didn't say anything at all and all Yoongi did was to stare at Jimin the whole time due to which Jimin's face was so red that one might think he has fever.

Soon the bell rang, indicating the end of lunch break. They sadly bid their good-byes. Jin, wiped his fake tears and said, "I will see you soon babies." ,while Namjoon dragged him away. "Uh, sorry about this." he said, struggling to have a firm grip on Jin. "Don't worry hyung, it's fine!" Jimin and Taehyung laughed.

Yoongi, Hoseok and Jungkook were still there, sitting at the table. Hoseok said, "Let's go Chim!"

"I'm coming with you" ,Yoongi said, monotonously. "But isn't your department on the other side?" Hoseok asked raising his eyebrows. "So? That doesn't mean I can't go to yours." He retorted. Hoseok didn't say anything and shrugged. He held Jimin's hand and led the way while Yoongi followed them.

Jimin looked back at Taehyung and mouthed 'Good luck, I'll see you later.' Taehyung sighed and was about to leave for his class when Jungkook spoke, "Your next subject is finance, right?" Taehyung froze and then slowly nodded. Jungkook walked past him.

'What?-' Taehyung thought when Jungkook turned around and said, "Well? Are you just gonna stand there? Aren't you going to the class?" Taehyung's eyes' widened and scrambled towards him. He didn't know this class too was with Jungkook.

After their classes Taehyung went back to their dorm. He slumped in his bed for he was so tired.

"Hey Tae!" Jimin said coming out of the bathroom. "Oh hey, how come Yoongi hyung joined you earlier?" He couldn't help but ask that. "Well, I don't know either. But he said it wasn't our problem and when we reached our room he suddenly stopped and said, 'You know what? I really think I am on the wrong path' and went back. Me and Hoseok hyung just stared at him" Jimin said laughing.

Taehyung smiled at that. At least Yoongi hyung was humorous even though he seemed cold.

"But what surprised me is that he came to our room saying he will accompany me to our dorm. And you know that I have a crush on him so I couldn't refuse. It was an opportunity to know him more, afterall." Jimin continued.

Taehyung raised an eyebrow at that. Seemed like Yoongi hyung was making the first move.

"What about you? Your crush talked to you?" He asked wiggling his eyebrows. Taehyung sighed. The crush that Jimin was talking about was Jungkook. After their firsr encounter, Taehyung couldn't get him out of his mind.

Taehyung hated it when he was near the other because of his glare and because his heartbeat increased rapidly. So he preferred to admire him from afar where he wouldn't be noticed.

"No, he only asked about my next class because apparently we have the same one again!" he whined.

Jimin clapped out of joy, "But that's good! You can maybe, you know, get to know him." He beamed at him. "But you know I hate being around him because he keeps on glaring at me for God knows what reason!" He whined and threw his hands in the air.

"You're just overreacting! Hoseok said that he is a good guy. It's just that he is overworked from practising how to manage their company then their is university too. That's all." Jimin explained to Taehyung.

"He's already practising? But he's still in college." Taehyung raised an eyebrow at the information.

"Yeah but he is the only heir of his father's company. Also I think Jungkook will finish school earlier because he is advancing some of his subjects. Hoseok told me about this." ,he said. Taehyung was astounded at the information.

'Jungkook sure is intelligent and is excelling in all his subjects.', thought Taehyung. Soon enough, he fell asleep while thinking about Jungkook.
