seventeen.

——— seventeen|excuses, excuses ———

Jimin couldn't breathe.

Why did he bother going to the meeting early? Oh how he wished he wasn't as punctual as he was today.

Because now he was stuck in the private room of the restaurant they're having a meeting in, not alone though— but with Han Yoona.

It had been at least a week since they last spoke to one another— that being the kiss they shared under the rain. Every Art History class, an evident distance could be seen between them, having one at the top end of the hall and the other below and near the board. They don't even bat an eye whenever they walked past each other in the hallway, as if nothing really happened between them.

But something did happen between them.

And now that caused the two to wallow in silence, with Yoona busy typing on her phone and Jimin counting the rhythmic beat to the music being played in the room.

He forgot that Yoona would be one of the main producers for the film, reminding him that he'll be in two projects with her— and both being long term works requires meet-ups ever so often. He couldn't get rid of her just like that.

He was subconsciously looking at her as he slowly took a sip of the cold water in front of him, taking his time to let the ice rest on top of his tongue before biting down on it— and then proceed to wince in pain due to the sensitivity of his teeth. His quiet grunts was heard by Yoona who turned to look at him, only ending up to see him cough in his drink as he realized he was caught staring.

He was still hacking and coughing, obviously taken aback, before forcing out a chuckle as he tried to explain himself. "The water taste like...."

Shoot. "Water."

Yoona nodded, her hand now wrapping around the glass of cold drink. "Good to know."

Oh how badly he wished he could just let the earth swallow him whole.

The embarrassment he was feeling was too much to bare.

He took out his phone and just focused on trying to reach out to any of the assigned people in this project, hoping that they could start and finish quickly so he could ignore the woman who was on his mind 24/7.

To: Busan #2
— where the hell are you? It's past 6:30pm shouldn't you be here by now?

His phone was quick to ring and showed Jungkook's reply to his message. He was surprised that the man immediately texted back when it usually takes quite long minutes before he could get one. His messages always remain unnoticed so he ends up calling him after a minute or two.

From: Busan #2
— sorry! There's an emergency with Jieun! They're taking her blindfold off to check her injuries and i just can't leave her alone. Be there by 7 i guess?

Ahh, Jieun. The girl who Jungkook grew fond of in a span of weeks. The young friend of his used to spend his free time in his own apartment; making trials of commercial shots, watching horror movies that would make him paranoid at night and leave him running straight to Jimin's apartment, or do nothing in general. However, after meeting the girl due to some circumstances, he ended up staying in the hospital and spend his time with her. Jimin even thought he's starting to like the girl!

To: Busan #2
—oh well. Just tell jieun i wish her luck. Her eyes must've been hurting so badly

Jimin sighed loudly and dropped his body on the table, unbeknownst that the woman in the room was watching his every move. She couldn't find the perfect chance to bring up something they were both ignoring, and not talking about it only made her mind rack up questions and possibilities that made her skin crawl.

"Park Jimin," she started which startled the man, the latter sitting up straight and looking at her with his eyes wide as saucers. Yoona gulped the lump in her throat, swallowing her pride in the process as well, before continuing, "I think we should talk about what happened."

He froze. He could feel his mouth open then closed, his lips trembling a bit as he tried to find his voice that was hiding away from him. The moment he was about to speak was also the moment the door slid open, revealing Min Yoongi and two other film major students.

His eyes watched over the newcomers before it went back on Yoona, seeing the smile that slowly adorned her face as Yoongi took a seat next to her and snuggled closely. Are they dating—

He shook the thought off of his head. No, I shouldn't be thinking such thing. You don't like her remember, so why would you be curious about her dating life?! He felt so silly about his attitude that was always switching from time to time, scoffing a little to himself as he opened his messages and sent a text to the only girl in the room.

To: scary yoona
—let's talk later.
