thanks ☹️ lol omg i thought magic 8 balls were on the same level of toys such as rubik cubes in terms of popularity but i guess not (i never watched stranger things but i know the kids had magic 8 balls there idk since it's set in the 80s idk might be wrong lol but if i'm right then that show is very popular so i thought they made them popular again idk). it's understandable that you missed those details since the story is from tae's pov and he's definitely oblivious to those things, but yea jimin always made the first move 👀 after they saw each other for the first time, passing by each other, it's very likely that jimin followed tae bc it's mentioned that tae went to the part of the park where only old people went to yet jm found him there very easily. kind of a creep move bc tae went to his house to get yeontan and then walked to the part lol so jm watched him for a while. then at school, yea jm ignored tae and tae was very sad but tae also didn't try to approach jm at all 🥴 and then during sex education class jm walked to where tar was and kind of got close to him, and then jm asked to be his partner for the project and then when they went to tae's house (and they kissed and all that) he purposely left early so they'd have to meet again to start the project and also to keep tae from going to his date with jisoo ... etc etc so yea jm liked him from the beginning and tae was the only person he wanted to see and say goodbye to when that horrible thing happened :(
