As soon as Taehyung stepped away from the table.
"What were you doing with my brother?" Yoongi's brow furrowed in confusion, his voice laced with suspicion.
"We were just talking about the party," he said. Jimin's reply was composed but tinged with unease. Jimin, trying to maintain composure, met Yoongi's gaze.
With a sceptical tone, Yoongi probed further.
"When did you meet him and when did you become friends with him?" Yoongi leaned in, his tone demanding answers.
"Just a couple of days ago," he admitted. Jimin's hesitation was evident, his voice trembling slightly.
Yoongi's expression darkened, and he moved closer, his protective stance clear.
"Look, my brother is very sweet and kind," he warned, "so you should stay within your limits and stay away from him. I don't want to see you anywhere near Taehyung, do you understand? He is my brother, and I do not want my brother to be friends with a poor and attention-seeking boy like you." Yoongi's cold demeanor shifted. His anger flared, and his voice grew sharp as he turned to Jimin, his face contorted with anger.
Jimin's eyes widened with a mix of anger and embarrassment, and he stood his ground, his voice defiant.
"You don't know me, and you have no right to judge me like that." he countered
Yoongi's fists clenched, his expression hardened.
"Oh trust me I'm not at all interested in knowing someone like you." Yoongi retorted
"You don't belong here, and you don't belong with Taehyung. Stay within your limits and mind your own business. If you ever dare to approach my brother again, you'll regret it." Yoongi's voice was filled with contempt as he continued to berate Jimin.
The tension in the air was suffocating, and Jimin's fear was palpable.
"I didn't mean to cross any boundaries. I won't bother Taehyung again, I promise" His voice quivered as he tried to reason with Yoongi
"Your promises mean nothing. You and I come from different worlds, and I won't allow someone like you to taint Taehyung's life." Yoongi's expression remained unyielding, his voice dripping with disdain,
"I just wanted to make a friend. I didn't mean any harm." his voice choked with emotion. Jimin's eyes welled up with tears.
"Consider this your only warning. Stay away from Taehyung, or you'll definitely regret it." Yoongi, unmoved by Jimin's distress, hissed in a low, threatening tone.
Jimin's heart was pounding with fear and humiliation. He tried to maintain his composure, but the tears were on the brink of falling. Yoongi's harsh words had struck him deeply, and he couldn't help but feel helpless in the face of the older student's anger.
As Taehyung returned to the table, Jimin quickly wiped away his tears, forcing a fake smile to mask his distress. He didn't want Taehyung to see the fear that had gripped him in Yoongi's presence.
"Hey, Jimin, I was thinking I'd pick you up from your dorm for the party. What do you say?" Taehyung said, his tone cheerful and oblivious to the tension that had unfolded in his absence.
Jimin's heart sank as fear gripped him once more. He hesitated, looking toward Yoongi for guidance, who was now gazing at him with an icy, intimidating stare.
"Oh, Taehyung, you don't have to bother. I can make my own way there." He stammered. When Taehyung proposed the idea of picking Jimin up for the party, Jimin's immediate reaction was to deny the offer, wanting to avoid any further encounters with Yoongi.
"Come on, Jimin, it's no trouble at all. Plus, it'll be more fun if we go together. Let me pick you up. Please?" Taehyung was insistent, and he pushed the issue.
Yoongi, who had been observing the exchange in silence, continued to give Jimin an intimidating, unrelenting stare.
"Seriously Taehyung you really don't have to". Jimin again insisted.
Taehyung's insistence didn't waver as he pressed on, "No, I'll pick you up. It's settled."
Jimin, feeling a growing sense of unease, tried one more time to decline, "Taehyung, really, it's not necessary. I can manage on my own."
"Jimin, don't be so formal. We're friends, and I want to do this for you. It's no trouble at all." Taehyung's persuasive tone persisted,
Jimin's hesitation was clear in his voice, "I appreciate your kindness, but..."
Taehyung cut him off, "No 'buts.' It's a plan, Jimin. We'll have a great time together at the party."
"But...." Jimin tried to protest again but the deep voice cut off his words.
"If my brother is insisting this much just accept it". Yoongi said in his deep voice.
Jimin felt cornered, torn between his fear of another encounter with Yoongi and his desire not to upset Taehyung. Reluctantly, he gave in, albeit with a sense of apprehension. "Alright, if you insist, Taehyung. You can pick me up."
With that, the argument came to an end, as Jimin reluctantly agreed to let Taehyung pick him up, despite his apprehension about facing Yoongi again. He couldn't help but feel trapped in a situation he had little control over.
With a final, disapproving glance at Jimin, Yoongi stood up from the table and turned to Taehyung.
"I've got to go. Take care, Taehyung."
Taehyung waved with a smile, oblivious to the underlying tension.
"See you, Hyung. Catch up with you later."
As Yoongi left the cafeteria, Jimin couldn't help but feel a sense of relief at his departure, but the fear of another encounter with Yoongi still hung over him. He knew he had to navigate this situation carefully to avoid further confrontations.
The chime of the bell signalled the end of lunch, and Taehyung and Jimin gathered their belongings, ready to head to their respective classes.
Taehyung grinned at Jimin, his earlier cheerful demeanour returning.
"Well, Jimin, it was great catching up. I'll see you after the class."
Jimin managed a small, genuine smile, grateful for Taehyung's friendship.
"Thanks, Taehyung. See you."
With that, they parted ways, walking toward their classrooms.
As the university day came to a close, Taehyung and Jimin met at the university's entrance. They began to chat about their day, sharing stories and experiences.
"How were your classes today, Jimin? Anything interesting happens?" Taehyung asked with curiosity.
"Classes were fine, Taehyung. I'm still getting used to the university routine, but it's been good so far. How about you?" Jimin smiled and replied.
"I had a great time too." Taehyung's face lit up as he shared.
"Okay, Taehyung. See you tomorrow bye, Take care." Jimin said with a smile.
"Bye, Jimin. See you tomorrow and you too take care of yourself." Taehyung waved his hand while smiling.
With a friendly wave, they bid each other farewell and headed off in their respective directions. Jimin heading back to his dorm and Taehyung is on his way home.
