After the performance was finished the boys headed back stage to congratulate to two singers on a job well done. They managed to bypass security thanks to Eric's manager and made their way into the tent that was being used as a green room. Eric was standing next to the refreshment table talking on the phone with someone, but he waved at them as they entered and signaled that he would be done soon. Jimin smiled at the older man but found himself scanning the room for someone else entirely. 

 The "second" Park Jimin was sitting on a chair, staring up at the ceiling, obviously bored. He felt V stir at his side and practically catapulted himself between his friend and Jimin. Startled, the girl looked up and blinked at them both with her pretty eyes.

"Oh...Jimin-oppa! V-oppa! I hadn't noticed you come in..." She craned her head to look around them both and smiled as she saw Jungkook. " And Jungkook-sshi too! Why aren't you guys playing in the park?" 

Jimin watched V open his mouth to reply and shut it with a snap when their maknae stepped forward to answer her.

"We were, but we noticed your performance was about to start and came to watch. It was very impressive."

The younger Jimin blushed, smiling brightly at the compliment and stood, gesturing to the table at her side loaded with all sorts of refreshments.

"Have you eaten yet? They have macaroons and strawberries...oh and oranges!"

Jimin looked over at the various platters of snacks, and while it all looked very good he couldn't help but notice it was all rather healthy. He wasn't sure what it was exactly, maybe it was the fact that they were at an amusement park but he was craving something more...well...fattening. 

"Actually," V said out loud, as though reading his mind "I kind of want a hotdog and maybe some cotton candy."
Jungkook made a small noise of agreement and the other Jimin fell into her chair once more and sighed.

"That sounds delicious...and maybe a funnel cake too..."

V laughed loudly at the longing in the girl's voice and plopped down into the chair next to her. He placed a hand atop Jimin's head and smiled a pretty smile obviously meant to charm. The older Jimin shifted uncomfortably as something unpleasant burned in his chest.

"Let's go eat then! Oppa will buy you whatever you like."

The young girl's face brightened at that, but dimmed almost immediately and she groaned:

"I'm on a diet..."

"I'm sure one day of eating what you want wouldn't hurt. Come on..." He tugged playfully at her long red hair and Jimin wondered if it was as soft as it looked. The younger Jimin was looking at V, and a rueful smile was pulling at . Again, he felt something burning at his insides.

"Okay...I guess just for today. But don't tell my manager, okay?"

Taehyung cheered and reached out to pet her hair again but the girl was already standing up and running over to tell her "Eric-oppa". V frowned and Jimin attempted to hide a rather satisfied smirk.

They walked around aimlessly until they spotted at bright yellow food stand with a giant hotdog on a stick stuck to the top. V bought them each one as well as a bucket of french fries and a round of cokes. Their small group found a table nearby at the conveniently placed pavilion. Taehyung smiled at Jimin as she thanked him cutely, hardly finishing her sentence before digging into her food. The boy watched her for a moment as she alternated between talking with Eric and s and eating.

The first time they'd met she'd been rather chubby by idol standards. He was sure she'd gotten comments about it. Since then she'd lost quite a bit of weight and while she seemed as vibrant as ever he wondered if she found it burdensome. She was so young and people could be downright cruel when criticizing celebrities. His eyes flickered over to their own Jimin who was looking on as 15&'s Jimin argued with Eric over something. There was a small smile on his face and his eyes were warm. V took a bite out of his hotdog. Was it possible that Jimin himself had yet to realize his own feelings? He could be rather dense at times.

 Taehyung took a long sip of his soda suddenly wishing it was soju. He'd never thought this would happen to him. Liking the same girl as was not a good thing and he wasn't at all sure what to do. Should he even do anything? It was just a little crush maybe it would go away after a bit. He looked back over at the younger Jimin and was startled to find she was looking at him as well.

"Are you okay oppa?"

The boy forced a laugh and assured her he was fine. Wanting quickly to change the subject he suggested they find a few more rides to play on.

"Oh I know what we could do" Jungkook said " I saw a sign for the Haunted House close by."

V smiled, it sounded like fun. He looked at their Jimin and he seemed to like the idea as well as he was already clinging to Jungkook's arm saying they should hold hands through out. Eric didn't seem too pleased with the suggestion though, and was whispering something in the second Jimin's ear. The girl simply shook her head and turned back them saying that they should head out while they still had enough time. She was smiling but V couldn't help but feel that something was wrong.

Everland's haunted house was an old Gothic building, that seemed as though it'd been plucked right out of the Victorian Age. It stood alone precariously atop a hill looking rather dreary and frankly quite cliche. Jimin and the rest of their group followed the spiraling path towards the house. They reached the entrance and were met by the sight of a young woman sitting on the front steps dressed appropriately in a white, blood stained gown. Pale toes peeked out from beneath her ruffled skirt and her long black hair fell in a tangled silken mess down her back. Her face was sickly pale and her eyes were a cold distant blue. Blood dripped from the corners of her cracked lips and as she stood to meet them the dagger lodged deep in her chest became apparent. Jimin heard a tiny squeak behind him and turned to find the other Jimin clutching at Eric's arm whispering something to him rather frantically. The older boy was frowning down at her, disapproval plain on his features but after a moment he finally nodded and patted her head. Jimin's hand twitched, he wanted to touch her hair too, his chest burned once again. He massaged the spot over where his heart was. Seriously what was wrong with him? 
 

"Welcome children to the House of Nevermore." The ghost began gravely, only to interrupted by Eric, who was studying the woman's face carefully. 

"Did you say 'children'? I'm sorry, but how old are you?" 

 The lady stiffened, but only for a moment before firmly proceeding to ignore him and continue her speech.

 "Many terrors await you beyond those doubled doors...are you brave enough to move forward?"

 Jungkook and V both shouted their agreement and urged the rest of their group up the steps to the front door.

"Very well then children..." The girl continued even as they all passed her by into the house "I, Lady Olenna shall be your guide- Ya! Seriously would you wait a second!"

XxX
Inside, the house seemed reminiscent of a young girl's doll house...if that child had perhaps lived a century ago. There was a small foyer and spacious living room, both were old and beautiful and looked as though they had once belonged to a wealthy Englishman but the air was thick with dust and the floorboards creaked horribly as they stepped inside. Lady Olenna's terribly unsettling smile sent a collective shiver through the group as the door slammed close behind them. Jimin took a breath. Though he didn't really want to, the place smelled too close to what he imagined death to smell like. He heard a faint whimper behind him and found the younger Jimin holding tightly to Eric's arm, her face half hidden by this bicep. His eyes softened as he watched her whisper something to the other boy; she was scared. He turned back around before they noticed his staring and followed V and Jungkook who were ooing and awing at everything. 

Their tour guide let out a creepy little cackle as she broke out into a long monologue about the residence and how the family who'd owned it had met their fate. Jimin rolled his eyes, the story was just too ridiculous. He heard a familiar whine behind him and felt a surge of unwarranted anger. It was Lady Olenna's job to scare people; getting mad at her because she'd succeeded was pointless. But he looked at their guide and knew he was glaring. The girl was terrified and Jimin had to fight the urge to pull her away from Eric and into his own arms. He wanted to comfort her, he wanted for her to rely on him. He shook those thoughts away though as they reached a very narrow and daunting staircase that seemed to lead into total darkness. The boy heard a small gasp behind him and this time turned ready to offer his hand but let his arm drop immediately as he watched Eric wrap his arms completely around the girl and place his chin atop her head. Jimin bit back a growl and forced himself to face forward once more. He obviously didn't need to worry about her, Eric was looking after her just fine. He jogged ahead a  bit in order to catch up to s, smiling as they started when he brought them into a group hug. The other boys simply rolled their eyes and continued up the steps until they came into a rather bleak hallway. 

"Now children we shall enter the late master's study where he is said to have perished. Be careful for his spirit still lingers within it's walls." 

Jimin could practically feel V roll his eyes and suppressed a laugh as they all piled into the room. It was a spacious place with a high ceiling and tall book shelves lining the walls. Jimin wondered if there was anything actually written in them or if they were merely decoration. He poked at one of the blood stained armchairs that had been placed before the large mahogany desk that obviously was meant to serve as the room's center piece, a long moment passed in which Jimin waited for something to happen. They'd been here for a good twenty minutes and had yet to come across anything scary. Yes the scenery was creepy but this was a haunted house, weren't things supposed to jump out you or grab at your ankles or some thing? Despite himself his eyes searched for the younger Jimin. She was looking with wide eyes at the lamp next to her, it radiated an eerie green light. Jimin heard V sigh and turned towards his friend. The other boy had his arms crossed and looked incredibly bored. Meanwhile their guide was still going on about the dead master.

“Can we move on to the next room already?” V said, cutting the ghost woman off.  

Her eyes narrowed in genuine annoyance but she nodded anyway and lifted her skirts, strutting towards the door. Eric who had managed to remove his arm from the younger Jimin's grasp followed after her, as did BTS. They'd just crossed the threshold when the sound of something heavy dropping to floor was heard and the boys all turned back to see that a bloodied body now lay on the ground and that Jimin who was still inside had fallen over in shock. The hand across seemed to be the only thing keeping her from vomiting. The older Jimin moved forward towards the girl knowing how scared she probably was and wanting to get her out of there as soon as possible. Before he could reach her though the lights within the room shut off and the door slammed closed between them. A few moments passed in which the boys weren't sure what to do and then a piercing scream cut through the silence and Jimin threw himself against the door. Behind him he could hear Eric demanding the ghost woman open the door immediately, that Jimin was terrified of the dark. Suddenly, the obvious disapproval on Eric's face through out this whole ordeal made sense and the boy felt a strong desire to scold the girl himself. She was crying in earnest now, he could hear her sobs through the door and maybe it was that sound that gave him the final push that he needed to break through the door between them. A loud crack filled the hall as the wood split and Jimin ran into the room. The girl sat in the middle of the room face buried in her hands, shoulders trembling as she cried.

“Jimin-ah!” The older boy called her name as he ran over to her. She slowly lifted her face and threw her arms around him. Jimin froze as he felt the warm wetness of her tears dampen the fabric of his shirt and his heart beat grew faster until it was practically slamming against his chest. He let his fingers get tangled in her soft hair and gently returned her embrace. Slowly Jimin became aware of something. The discovery being, quite simply, that he liked her. Her cheerful personality and sense of humor, her pretty eyes, red hair and milky white skin; he liked all those parts of her. The lights suddenly returned and the rest of their group rushed into the room. Eric came immediately to the young girl's side and placed a hand on her shoulder. Jungkook stood quietly next to the older boy watching with wide eyes. And V...V had stopped a few feet away from them and merely looked on, face unreadable. Their eyes met and Jimin wanted to curse as another realization hit him like a bullet train. Their shared look at the performance, the burning in his chest whenever V was near the other Jimin, and the blatant skinship...Taehyung liked her too. All the parts of her that had charmed Jimin had charmed his friend as well and he hadn't the faintest idea of what to do.

Author's Note: So there you go guys! Lol I know that it doesn't really resolve anything but the point of this two shot was for Jimin and V to both realize their feeling's for Jimin and to both realize the other's feelings for her as well. But don't worry there's going to be a sequel and it'll be from Jimin's (15&) pov in which we'll find out who she likes and how it all ends up. But before I get to that I promised a subscriber that I would write a Jungkook x Jimin(15&) story for them so I'll be doing that first (^~^) I'll put up the summary soon so go subscribe to that if you'd like to read it! Also I actually haven't decided who Jimin will end up with for this story so please let me know who'd you like her to end up with in the comments I'll definitely take it into consideration. See you soon guys!
BTW: If anybody was curious about the whole Jimin being terrified of the dark thing she actually really is and while I'm not sure exactly how bad it is I'm guessing its pretty bad considering that she's almost 18 and if you watched Real Jimin EP 3 she still has a nightlight. And while there's nothing wrong with being scared of the dark most people tend to grow out of it when they’re rather young so idk it just makes me think its probably a little serious. Especially because she mentioned (on arirrang radio I think) that she has nightmares so yeah that’s why I made her reaction a but dramatic. Also if you haven’t watched Real Jimin 3 watch it because she is seriously the cutest thing on earth just so so so pretty and charming (^~^)
