Chapter Text
"Hello we are Blume." Jimin followed her groupmates as they bowed and smiled at the camera.
"Ahh Blume it's been so long since we've seen you three. How are all of you?" Hyungdon smiled at them brightly.
"We've been good. We're just very happy to have made a comeback after a long time." Namjoon said.
"It's receiving a lot of love recently isn't it? What kind of a song is it?" Namjoon and Taehyung looked at Jimin who shuffled her feet awkwardly.
"Excuse me, are you lost?" Defconn joked. The three girls laughed in reply.
"Sorry I just blanked out for a minute." Jimin said in between her giggles. "Our new comeback song is called <I Need You> and it's about a girl and a boy who fall in love, but the boy doesn't treat her well but she still loves him so even though she knows it's stupid she always comes back to him."
"Ahhh. Have any of the members had any experience like this before?" Hyungdon asked looking at the three girls with amusement.
"Jimin." Taehyung coughed. Jimin looked at Taehyung with mock anger.
"Really?" The MCs began their attack on Jimin who was too breathless with laughter to reply.
"There was this one night where Jimin didn't come back home." Namjoon said, adding oil to the fire. Hyungdon's eyes went comically wide as Jimin erupted in a fit of choked denials and laughter. Once the five of them had calmed down, Hyungdon asked Jimin to explain herself.
"First off, I just want to say that I feel attacked right now. Taehyung and Namjoon unnie think I go around dating all the time but I barely even have time to sleep." Jimin pouted at the camera.
"What about you not coming back home that one night?" Namjoon asked accusingly, making everyone erupt in another fit of laughter. Jimin ran her fingers through her hair in mock exasperation.
"I TOLD YOU I FELL ASLEEP AT THE PRACTICE ROOM." Jimin yelled, making everyone laugh even harder.
"With who?" Hyungdon asked with raised eyebrows.
"Yeah with who?" Taehyung asked, raising her eyebrows as well.
"Was it with Jungkook?" Defconn asked.
"EXCUSE ME?" Jimin screeched. By this point everyone in the studio was exploding with laughter.
"Has Jimin ever described her ideal type?" Hyungdon asked as soon as everyone calmed down.
"Yes. She said her ideal type was someone who was taller than her, good at sports, and enjoyed music." Taehyung replied as Jimin nodded.
"Isn't that Jungkook?" Defconn said, beginning his teasing once more. Jimin turned exasperatedly towards the camera.
"Jungkook and I are strictly noona and dongsaeng nothing more." Jimin said. "And-"
Jimin was cut off as the TV turned off. Their manager looked at Jimin, annoyance clearly written on his face.
"Are you serious? Why did you say that?"
Jimin looked at her hands as she tried to think of a response.
"I-"
"Also," the manager cut her off, "Jeon Jungkook. Are you a fucking idiot?"
Jimin snuck a glance at Jungkook who sat beside her. Jungkook stared straight ahead, his gaze unwavering.
"Hyung I-"
"Shut up, I don't want to hear it. You of all people should know how messy dating scandals are. Remember what happened to Jin?"
"But that was-"
"I don't want to fucking hear another word out of you Jeon Jungkook. What the fuck is this bullshit? 'My ideal type is someone who is full of aegyo and has a cute eyesmile. Monolids are also very charming.' are you fucking out of your mind with this bullshit. It's bad enough that Jimin's ideal type describes you, but now yours describes her too? No fucking wonder the fans think you two dickweeds are dating." Their manager glared long and hard at them before closing his eyes and sighing. "I can't fucking stand to look at either of you right now. Go to practice."
Jimin and Jungkook left the room with awkward bows to their manager. Once outside, Jungkook turned to leave, but was stopped by Jimin's hand on his wrist. Jungkook looked to Jimin questioningly.
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have-"
"It's okay." Jungkook smiled at her. "I basically did the same thing too. But I guess this means we're gonna have to lay low for a while."
"Yeah." Jimin twirled the ends of her hair awkwardly. "I'm still sorry though. I shouldn't have been so careless."
"The same goes for me, but what can we do right?" Jungkook stepped closer to Jimin until the tips of their shoes touched. He cupped her face and gently lifted her face so that she faced him. Jimin was close enough so that she could count every single one of Jungkook's eyelashes. She closed her eyes as Jungkook kissed her gently. "I'll call you. Okay?" Jungkook said softly, his breath a puff of smoke in the cold December air.
"Okay." And with another kiss, Jungkook was gone. Jimin stood, lips still warm from Jungkook's kiss. She jumped when her phone vibrated in her pocket. She grimaced as she read the name before she picked up.
"Yes Bang PD-nim?"
She was so fucked.
