Jimin is an ordinary 22-year-old. He's handsome, good at studying, good at sports, and has a good personality. Park Jimin is the true true king of true kings, acknowledged by Min Yoongi, who hates to be recognized by others. Park Jimin was born kind, so he was far from arrogant or unlucky, but he still believed that he was above average, if not in the top 1%. Honestly, people around him told him, and he knew it himself. After living for about 20 years, you realize, "Oh, I'm average after all." If an ordinary man had done this, it would have been embarrassing, but Park Jimin deserves it. He's so cool.
There was one question, not a single one, that Park Jimin had: dating. Many people liked Jimin, so dating wasn't difficult, but strangely, the people who liked Jimin didn't like him. It wasn't just one or two people, it was everyone. They were all the same. "You just have to meet someone who likes you, not someone you like?" It wasn't that simple. The biggest problem was that even the people who approached him first, saying they liked Jimin, would always apologize and reject him after starting a relationship. This happened more than once or twice, and Jimin was stressed. No, it was like that with everyone he dated, so he wondered if there was something really wrong with him...
No matter how much I think about it, I just can't figure it out. The face I see in the mirror isn't classic handsome, but he's trendy and handsome, and even cute. Is it just my personality? I've been told I'm kind so many times, it doesn't seem like that'll happen. Is it just me being boring?
“…….”
Is that the problem? Park Jimin ponders seriously.
Ta-da. It's not Santa, it's Jungkook. Park Jimin's long-awaited crush is Jeon Jungkook... No, it's Soojin, who sticks around Jeon Jungkook. It's really sad, but Soojin has also liked Jungkook for a long time... Although Jungkook's feelings are unknown, Jimin, who has learned that he and Soojin aren't mutually exclusive, goes to school with a heavy heart. Why Jeon Jungkook! Because he's close with Soojin, and he's so damn cool... It's not that he's bad, it's that Jeon Jungkook is too cool. I think about it, but Yeoju sees him acting all happy. Yeoju and Jimin only know each other's faces and have only spoken to each other... But Jimin was sitting in the corner with a sad face, and he looked like a cat desperate for attention, so Yeoju came out to give him some attention. Yeoju is Jungkook and Soojin's friends. Special Note: She used to like Jeon Jungkook, but not anymore.
"Oh, Yeoju... Hello, Yeoju."
Even when Jimin is sad, he doesn't pretend to be. He tries to greet her with a belated smile, but Yeo-ju, who's sitting alone in the corner, overhears everything going on about Jeon Jung-kook and Soo-jin, can't control her expression and just stares at Jimin like he's a weirdo. Jimin is immediately taken aback by her gaze. He asks her why she's staring at him like that. "Because I feel bad for you," Yeo-ju can't say, so she crouches down next to Jimin.
"I'm sorry, I overheard everything."
“…What, what?”
"Soojin is like this, Jungkook is like this."
“…….”
"Jimin likes Soojin who likes Jungkook?"
It wasn't meant to be teasing, but Jimin's expression suddenly dropped. He heard everything... Rather than feeling embarrassed about being caught, Jimin simply felt sorry for himself. Wanting to share his feelings with someone, he started giving Yeo-ju, who was crouching down like him, a non-counseling session. "Oh, I like Soo-jin." The session, which had been going normally at first, gradually became strange.
"But… no matter how much I think about it, it just feels strange."
“Yeah.”
"All the kids who are worse off than me are dating normally…."
"Why do I keep getting rejected? "Hey, how do you see me?" At Jimin's unexpected question, Yeoju secretly rubbed her calf, which was starting to tingle, and replied, "Uh... um. Are you okay?" Jimin, who wasn't pleased with Yeoju's lukewarm words, added another question, unaware that Yeoju was troubled.
"Then. Between Jungkook and me?"
"uh?"
"Who's more your style?"
"It's Jeon Jungkook, right?" Kim Yeoju used to like Jeon Jungkook, right? Jimin asked so innocently because he didn't know Yeoju liked Jungkook. Yeoju, who can't lie, racked her brain to find an answer that wouldn't upset Jimin. But she couldn't think of anything. No matter how much she thought about it, she didn't like Jimin, but Jungkook. Jimin is the cute type, but Yeoju likes sexy guys like Jungkook. Park Jimin is a nice guy, but he's too cute..."
"I'm dying waiting for an answer..."
“…Oh, sorry.”
"Are you Jungkook too?"
Besides me? Is there anyone who likes me? Jimin, who didn't even listen to the answer and was acting all sullen, said something like that, so the female lead cheered him on and said, "Uh... Jungkook? Jungkook really likes you." Jimin got upset when he heard that. He said, "Do you think that's what he wants to hear right now?" I comforted him because I thought he needed it, but he kept complaining... Jimin's personality was more irritable than I thought, and the female lead thought to herself, "Then what do you want me to do?", but Jimin asked again.
"What do you think Jungkook has that I don't?"
“…Humility?”
"what?"
"No, I misspoke. Uh..."
No. Why am I answering this? I just thought he wanted attention, so I tried to briefly accept it. Yeoju, who had been squatting for over 20 minutes, caught up in Jimin's pace without realizing it, suddenly felt a surge of dizziness wash over her, and couldn't answer the question. Kim Yeoju... Answer quickly. My legs are numb, I'm suddenly dizzy, and someone next to me is urging me on like a kindergartener. Yeoju decided to just say whatever she wanted and wrap it up.
"I don't know about that. I know what you have that Jeon Jungkook doesn't."
“Hmm…”
"You're so cute, you know? Are you just naturally cute? Jeon Jungkook doesn't have that."
"What about me?"
“I told you I wasn’t coming, so are you gossiping about me?”
“…Isn’t that gossiping?”
“I heard everything.”
Jungkook was extremely upset, asking if Yeoju was going to keep sitting like that and if she should just lie down. Jungkook didn't seem too offended by his name coming out of Yeoju's mouth. "I'll talk for a bit and then I'll go." At those words, Jungkook's face crinkled slightly so as not to show it, but Jimin, who Yeoju and Jungkook had been observing, looked at Jungkook with a strange expression. He had a feeling that Jungkook, who Soojin liked, seemed to like someone else. Jungkook's gaze was fixed on Jimin. Were Yeoju and Jimin that close? Enough to talk for over 30 minutes? Jungkook just watched Jimin without saying anything before going in. He didn't forget to say, "Do it properly and come in."
“I’m surprised you came out so suddenly. How far did we go?”
“…….”
"jimin park?"
Wow. At this point, there's a chance, right? Jimin, convinced that Jeon Jungkook likes Kim Yeo-joo, is starting to feel hopeful for the first time, wondering if his chance might come.
Yeah. It was good that he figured out that Jungkook liked Yeoju Kim. Even though he was talking to Soojin and wasting time on her, Jimin started to seriously chase after Yeoju. Not because he liked her, but because he wanted to let her know that Jungkook liked her. For Jimin, the development of their relationship was the top priority. After that strange counseling session, Yeoju thought Jimin following her around was strange. Ah, I shouldn't have accepted you last time. You were such a fool, weren't you?
I tried to refuse him if possible, but as I said before, Park Jimin is a natural born aegyo, so strangely, it was incredibly difficult to refuse. Kim Yeo-ju-woo. Let’s go eat together. So we ate and then we had a drink. Alcohol? I can drink well… So I drank too. ㅡ Since he said he could drink well, I just let him drink, but he slept on the floor, so I just left him there. ㅡ The next day, he came over and muttered how I could leave him like that… Yeo-ju realized after seeing Jimin like that. The reason Park Jimin broke up with her wasn’t because of any other problem, but because the other person didn’t know that Park Jimin was a pervert.
Also, whenever Jimin met the female protagonist, he would ask her something like, “Don’t you like anyone? Do you like anyone?” But the female protagonist, unaware that Jimin’s question was aimed at Jungkook, would shake her head vigorously. Oh, no way, does Park Jimin like me? He can’t. I even had this delusion. I heard that a new pasta restaurant opened in front of the school - and there was even a 30-minute wait because it was so crowded - so I came to eat there, and while eating, he said that again. Don’t you like anyone? Really? Think about it carefully.
“Don’t look far. Look close. Okay?”
“I don’t like you.”
"…me?"
I was talking about Jeon Jungkook, not myself. Jimin looks at Yeoju with a flustered expression. What? Wasn't he trying to appeal to me? Yeoju, doubly flustered by Jimin's reaction, puts down her fork and says.
