Jimin pulls his car into the school parking lot the next day, parking it in his usual spot. After he parks, he grabs his things from the back seat and runs around the car to open my door for me.

"Thank you," I smile as I step out of his car, quickly drawing the attention of the popular girls standing not too far away.

"It's my pleasure," he smiles as he gives me a quick kiss on the cheek before beginning to walk me into the school, drawing my attention away from the angered looks I'm receiving from every girl around me.

Jimin walks me into the school and follows me to my locker, waiting patiently for me to grab my things before walking me to my class. I gather my books and shove them into my bag before closing my locker door.

"You don't have to walk me to class," I say with a smile as I sling my bag over my shoulder.

"But I want to," he responds quickly, his smile growing wider. He grabs my waist and pulls me close, leaning down to whisper in my ear. "I can see the evil glares you're getting from all the girls."

My heart begins to race and I shake my head against his chest. "I can handle them."

"No," he reassures me, pulling away to look me in the eyes. "As long as I'm around, I'll be with you to protect you. Remember, I protect the ones I love."

I blush. "Are you saying you love me?"

His head shakes, his soft hair bouncing with the movement. "I know you want to move slow. Even though we're not official, I'm still going to protect you."

I let out a soft chuckle and he begins to walk toward my first class, his arm wrapped around my shoulders gently.

"I'll see you in third period?" I turn to him with a smile as we arrive at my class.

"You will," he smiles. "And we have a stop to make before we head back to my house for the rest of the day."

I raise my eyebrow. "Another surprise?"

"You know it, princess," he smiles before kissing me on the forehead. "I'll see you later."

My teacher dismisses the class and I quickly begin to pack my things to head to my next one, not bothering to speak to any of the other students on the way. My only intentions are to get to class, do what I need to do, and leave so I can get to see Jimin.

"Taishi!" Chaeyoung yells as she runs at me from the other end of the hall. She stops when she reaches me and begins to walk with me into our class. She sits down with me in our spot at the back of the room and leans close to me. "I saw you with Jimin this morning."

"Sh!" I hush her as I spin to face her, my eyes wide in shock.

"I'm sorry, it was just so cute."

"Jimin and I aren't dating," I whisper as I begin to pull my things out of my bag and place them onto the desk in front of me.

"So, then what did I see in the hall this morning?" Chaeyoung raises her eyebrow.

I let out a loud sigh before putting my backpack under my desk and turning back to face her. "Jimin and I are taking things slow, okay?" I say quietly, straining my voice with the quiet tone. "I don't want to get into detail, you never know who's listening."

"I'll call you during your free period and you can tell me everything!"

I shake my head. "Wait until after school hours, around four or something."

She stares at me in disbelief for a moment, pure confusion filling her eyes as she looks at me. "Okay, four it is. I better get every little detail," she pauses and smirks. "Or big detail, if you know what I mean."

My face turns hot and thoughts of the other night flood back into my head. Jimin standing in the doorway to his bathroom, hot mist surrounding him like something straight out of a movie, his towel hanging loosely around his waist, lose enough to fall down with one wrong movement, his body covered in water droplets that slide down his face and body until they disappear down into the forbidden area of the towel, never to be seen again.

The image of him running his fingers through his wet hair is clear, his hair staying slicked back, exposing his forehead. I feel my heart begin to pick up again as he looks at me, his water covered plump lips tugging into a smirk as he eyes my body.

I snap back into reality and turn to Chaeyoung. "I'll tell you everything later," I say with a shiver. "Just stop talking about it right now."
