"I got another one, Jinwoo," The girl spoke, lying down on her bed, belly down, as she held the home phone to her ear with her right hand and held the note with her left. "I found it in the pocket of my backpack as I was walking." "Oh," Jinjin acted surprised as he flopped onto his bed, umph sound coming out of his mouth as his belly hit the mattress, throwing his blanket over his legs. "What does this one say?" "'I love you for all that you are, all that you have been and all that you will become," She then folded the note back in half and smiled at the drawing of a schoolbag that was on it. "As cute as this is, I still think it's fake." "You got two. In one day. I doubt this is fake." "You're just saying that," The girl replied and placed the note on her side table next to her bed and rolled onto her back, her hair sprawled out around her head like a halo and her legs dangling off the bed. "No one would fall for a little trash like me." "You're pretty and very talented," Jinjin tried to make her feel better without trying to expose his plan. "Anyone would be glad to date you." "They'd be a little weird though," The girl replied and sighed, kicking her feet back and forth at the edge of her bed, making quiet thump sounds each time she hit the wood bedframe of her queen sized bed - She was a queen, therefore she needed a Queen sized mattress. "I mean, what if they just like me for my appearance and didn't like my personality." "Doubt they'd do that." "Yeah, Jinjin, but the possibilities are endless!" The girl sat up and made a hand gesture that emphasized her point. "What if I don't even know the guy!" "You never know," Jinwoo's reply struck a bit of curiosity in the girl. "Maybe you know him better than you know yourself." "You're being quite mysterious, Jinwoo." "And you're being very oblivious."

The next day, Jinwoo had given each of his friends, aside from (Y/N), the victim of the whole mission, to somehow hide in different places - like in her notebooks, bag, locker, jacket pocket, anything - for her to find. "I question why you can't just grow some courage and just tell her." Rocky sighed as the group of boys walked to school, their notes that they were assigned to give hidden in their back pocket of their uniform pants. "Because hyung is not--" You say shit, you get hit, Sanha. "Shut up," Jinjin replied and crossed his arms. "I'm actually thinking of telling her." "Right," Moonbin rolled his eyes and sized up his smaller hyung, smirking as he towered over him by a couple inches. "And pigs fly." "I think Jinwoo's going to tell her," MJ stood in-between the maknae line and the hyung line. "This could be the one fateful day that he--" "Five bucks says he doesn't!" Sanha raised his hand in the air, cutting off MJ as he spoke, jumping up and down like a kid. He knew he was going to win, there was no way Jinjin could do it. After crushing on their best friend for years, claiming that he was going to tell her years prior and didn't follow through, why would now be the same? "You owe me five dollars if he does," Eunwoo stuck out his hand for the maknae to take, smirking. "Deal?" "Seriously guys! You're betting on my love life now?" "When do we not?" Rocky laughed as he clapped a hand on his hyung's right shoulder, leaning onto him slightly. "We always bet, but with this time we're doing actual money." "Seriously guys?!" "Deal!" Sanha stuck out his hand, grinning ear to ear. There was no way Jinjin had the guts... No absolute way. "I'll join in on this," Moonbin put his hand ontop of Sanha's and Eunwoo, gazing over to the elder of the two. "This is like making fast money." "Seriously! I'm still here! What is with everyone and butting into my love life like this?!" "It's called," Rocky turned around, tugging Jinjin along with him by the bag's hanger strap, making the elder huff and protest against the younger. "Letting loose and going with the flow." "Next time any of you get a girlfriend or, better yet crush on anybody, I'm going to 100% be butting in any chance I receive."

MJ had the note that he had hidden during first period, walking the girl to class and slipping it into her textbook, distracting her slightly by saying the High school jocks we making a complete fool of themselves. Eunwoo had hidden her note in her pocket as he passed by her during the hallways in between period one and two, telling her good luck on the Chemistry test she had in store for her and that, hey, if she failed, it was only the first test of the year, first of many. Moonbin was given instructions to hide her note during lunch when Sanha and Jinjin stole her away from her locker to aid them in their last minute Mathematics homework that needed to be finished before lunch or else they were going to receive a detention. He had placed the note behind her lock, making sure it was held securely before snickering and making his way back to Eunwoo, MJ and Rocky. Rocky was signed up for third period, which he had (Y/N) had shared together - dance. As she was getting ready in the girl's change room, the sneaky dancer hid his given note taped securely on her water bottle which was located in her dance bag. Sanha, since he lost the rock, paper, scissors game against everyone else in Astro besides the leading man, had to find a creative way to hide the note he was given. After slaving over it during third, he finally had an idea. Though it needed time and a big, white lie. "Noona!" The boy ran over to her as he turned the corner, making the girl shake her head and hand him her pencil case. "I can't believe you forgot your pencil case." "I was going to get it, but my locker is all the way downstairs and my teacher already hates me enough!" The younger boy protested as he politely took her pencil case from her, bowing. "You saved my life." "You're just lucky I have a substitute in Korean," A class that she shares with Jinjin - and he literally, even though he was fluent, decided to take just because (Y/N) was taking it. "And all we're required to do is just read novels." "I'll pay you back!" He said as the girl started to walk away, making her lift her arm up an give him a wave without looking back. "Doubt you will," She replied. "You haven't paid me back from buying you banana milk the other day." "What I'm doing," The evil maknae whispered as he walked back to class, unzipping her pencil case and slipping his note inside, covering it slightly with some of her mechanical pencils. "I'll be paying you back plenty." The last and final part to Jinwoo's plan was set after school as the seven of them were walking back to their respective dorms. Rocky and Jinjin were at the girl's sides, Eunwoo and Moonbin in front and Sanha and MJ at the back. "What's with all the papers in your backpack pocket?" Rocky asked, striking up some conversation with his hyung's crush, pointing to the surplus of folded notes in her backpack's left mesh pocket. "Got some more love letters from Mr.Right?" He then elbowed Jinwoo, making the elder punch him for almost giving away his cover. Great acting, Rocky. Great acting. "Actually," The girl tucked a strand of hair behind her ear with her middle finger and blushed. "Yeah, I did... Surprisingly they were everywhere I looked." "How many in total?" MJ piped up from behind the group, trying to act curious as he tried to push his way through Jinjin and Rocky who were at her side. "Five." "Five? Woah! I can't believe someone wrote you that many!" Eunwoo grinned, walking backwards to be able to see his best friend's flushed face. Now that's method acting right there. "We were right about this guy. He's real and that he has a massive crush on you." "You were, weren't you guys?" "We're always right!" Sanha interjected from behind them, bumping into Rocky and sending him into the front row of people. He then held in a laugh from his antics and continue on with his sentence. "We're right about you having a secret admirer, we're right about you being able to win the dance competition--" "Alright, alright Sanha," The girl giggled and reached up to give Sanha's shoulders a pat. "I get it." As the rest of the group were talking, Jinwoo felt his mind trying to piece together a decent sounding sentence as he finished off his plan. To give the girl he's been crushing on for years the last letter he had written for her. "Hyung!" Sanha whined, making Jinjin snap out of his thoughts. "Don't you have anything to say? Noona's been asking why you've been quiet for the past while." The leader of the group lifted up his head to see the concerned eyes of his crush, making him hold back a deep blush. "I'm fine." "Sanha was talking about the silly mistake you made during gym class with him and you're not retaliating," The girl then took a step closer to Jinwoo, getting a good look at his face. "Are you feeling alright, Jinjin?" "Peachy," Was his instant reply as he took a step back, his voice going higher an octave. His palms were sweaty and he could feel the note burning in his pocket. "Just peachy, (Y/N)." "Here's the greatest opportunity to confess," Moonbin whispered to his group, making sure that the two love birds wouldn't hear him. He smirked as he watched, watching his leader and hyung sweat under the hard gaze of his longtime crush. "If he doesn't do it now, you owe Sanha and I money, Eunwoo." "Nope," Eunwoo turned his head to the right to look over at the younger boy, holding up his index finger. "I have a great feeling about this moment. He is positively going to confess." "I dunno," Sanha jumped into the whispering as they observed. It was almost like they were trying to document the newest species known to man on a wildlife tv series. The Jinwoo species is trying to court his chosen mate and finally grow some balls to admit his feelings after god knows how many years. "He looks like he's going to start sprinting the other way again like all the other times." "He always looks nervous." "Yeah, but he looks more nervous now." "Just shut up!" Rocky and MJ said in unison as they looked over at the three who were bickering. "We want to continue watching and listening," More like eavesdropping, but listening to other people's private conversations sounds good too. "To what they're saying and if you're too loud then---" "You don't look okay," The girl spoke as she inspected Jinwoo's face even further, taking into account that, hey, it's literally summer and he could just be overheating or dehydrated. "Do you just want to stop by at the convenience store to pick up something quick to eat?" "No, no," Jinjin side stepped away from her, getting out of her intense gaze and let out a breath he didn't realize he was holding in. "It's fine. Let's just go home." "Home it is, then." Eunwoo handed both Sanha and Moonbin five bucks, groaning about how Jinjin was being a complete fool.

"You could have!!" MJ said as he was pacing along with lecturing Jinjin, who was sitting on the couch, clutching his phone for dear life, on how he could have confessed and things would have been better for everyone. Their skin would be clear once again, World Poverty would diminish, Wars would never happen again, they'd be rich and BTS would notice them. Okay, maybe not that far. BTS would never notice them in this lifetime. "There was a perfect opportunity and you missed it," Added in Rocky, shaking his head in shame. "We thought that this would be your shining moment, hyung." "Told you!" Sanha chimed as he waved a five dollar bill in front of his elders' faces, laughing. "I was right all along." "There's something called," Jinjin lifted up his phone and showed the boys what was displayed on the screen. A picture of the last note Jinjin had written for (Y/N) and her reply - a yes. "You guys should start believing in me when I say I have a plan." "Wha--" "I made her five letters, one for each of you to hide for her in my place, but," Jinjin stood up from the couch and unlocked his phone, tapping on iMessage and opening his chat with his crush and, now current, girlfriend. "I made a sixth one to give to her and explain my feelings," Sanha and Moonbin, at this point were speechless as Eunwoo held out his hand to take back his money that he had given for them supposedly winning the bet. "I may not be a verbal person, but when it comes to writing out my feelings, I can write an entire novel." "And now," Eunwoo gladly took the money from the two younger boys with a smug look on his face. "I get to say - ha, I told you so." "You guys still bet on me?! I thought that was just a joke!" "That's like saying pigs fly, hyung."
