Park Jimin

The first time he noticed you, you didn’t even know he existed.

You should hate him—he’s infuriating, clever, always a step ahead in class, and somehow manages to make you roll your eyes with that annoying little smile whenever he thinks he’s won. He teases you, challenges you, pushes your buttons… and somehow, it only makes him more impossible to ignore.

The truth is, he can’t stop noticing you. Every little thing: the way your hair falls when you concentrate, the subtle bite of your lip when you’re nervous, the laugh you try to hide when something actually amuses you~he sees it all. He wants to be near you, to help you when no one’s looking, to make sure you’re okay…even if you would never admit it.

To you, he’s just your enemy, a rival who likes to tease and provoke. And maybe, in public, that’s true. But when you’re alone, he melts. He keeps his feelings hidden, careful not to confess, watching quietly, caring in secret, hoping you notice the little things that give away the truth.

Every time you’re near, it’s the same... ...his obsession, his love, his desire to be more than just someone you hate. He only has to survive a little longer until the moment he can show you...without scaring you away.

Because, whether you know it or not, you’re already his.
