TH : Rae!

Rae gasped not expecting him at that moment. Suppressing her nervousness, she turned around to face him whilst taking a glance of the road Jin took, with sheer professionalism that Taehyung couldn't catch.

RAE : (-smiles-) Yes, can we talk later? My friend just called me, I need to leave urgently.

Taehyung found her unbelievable and controlled himself.

TH : Sure, you may take your leave now.

The jeer in his tone said that he was meaning a farewell to her.
Rae felt a little weird but being rushed by the situation, she simply shook it off and took her leave with a run.

Taehyung didn't know how to react, seeing her vanish in seconds. He felt as if he lost her before he could even call her his.

He went inside the house and asked Hoseok to meet him in his room. Hoseok was the only one who knew almost everything about them, so he felt he could talk to him.

HS : What's wrong? You don't look okay.

TH : You were right, hyung. She was suspicious.

HS : Who was? What are you talking about?

TH : Rae, hyung. I overheard her phone call.

Taehyung narrated the whole scene he had witnessed, with hurt clearly visible in his eyes.

TH : Hyung, what if anything happens because of my carelessness?

HS : (-dabs his shoulder-) Atleast, you now know not to trust anyone easily and besides Jin hyung will be okay. Let's just stay positive.

Sudden realization struck Taehyung's mind and he looked at him with a tensed face.

TH : Hyung.

HS : Onh, what now?

TH : What if earlier, the urgent thing she mentioned. Maybe she went to tail Jin hyung.

HS : Are you sure?

TH : No, but. We can't afford to trust her words any longer.

HS : You're right. Before he gets into trouble. Call him!

Taehyung nodded and quickly dialed him, holding a breath.

*Over the call*

TH : Hyung! Where are you right now?

J : Taehyung-ah, I told you before too. I am in an Art exhibition.

TH : Whom are you with?

J : (-awkward laugh-) What do you mean? (-whispering-) Can you stop this? This is not funny anymore.

TH : Hyung, just don't meet anybody and rush back home, please.

J : Yah, what's wrong?

TH : Everything's okay. You just rush home, I will tell you then.

Taehyung's shaky voice told Jin that he was indeed serious and that he should return back as soon as he could.

Jin replied to be coming right away and ended the call.

At the farm house

.

.

As soon as Jin entered Taehyung's room, the latter hugged him and was in tears.

TH : I am sorry, hyung. It all happened because of me.

J : (-taken aback-) Hey, what is the matter? Yah, yah, it's okay. Calm down first.

Hoseok explained Jin as they tried to stop the young man, crying like a 2 year old.

Jin, Hoseok and Taehyung were seated in his room, thinking about the whole situation when they heard a knock.

It was Serah, calling them out for lunch in the hall. They sent her off, saying they would be after her in a minute.

A while's thought later, Hoseok came up with an idea of confronting her. He asked Taehyung to call her in the farm house not being wary that they already knew what she was upto.

The plan was, Taehyung would confront her and get any evidences against them deleted. Or at the least know where she was from, so they could be prepared beforehand, to deny any false rumors. 

As they waited for her arrival, Serah knocked up to them once again. She added this time, if she should bring their food to their room. Everyone else have already had their lunch by then.

SERAH : Oh, and Taehyung-ssi. About Rae-

She didn't complete seeing him show the least of interest about what she was going to say. She felt the tension in the room.

Jin, then, told her about the matter. He thought, a girl member in their plan would help them get information from Rae.

TH : But please, don't let others know about it yet. And PD-nim too. I don't want to worry them.

SERAH : Oh, don't worry about it. I wouldn't say anything.

Serah quickly saw herself out from there and went to a secure place. To the common balcony, where Aria was already present.

SERAH : (-to Aria while dailing a number-) We are in trouble.

ARIA : What's wrong?

*Over the call*

SERAH : Ariel? It's Elsa.

RAE : Yes. What's up?

SERAH : We have got a problem here.

RAE : What happened? I am coming to the farm house in a minute.

SERAH : No no, don't. Stop where you are and listen to me carefully before you come here.

RAE : Okay. Go ahead.

SERAH : Taehyung-ssi apparently heard your conversation with me earlier. And he thinks you are spying on BTS.

RAE : What?! Now that I think of it, I can understand why he acted that way.

SERAH : I don't think, we have any way out other than telling him about our surprise.

JM : Surprise?

Aria and Serah almost froze in that moment, hearing Jimin's voice behind them. They squeezed their eyes shut, feeling that he heard it all and turned to look at him with an innocent play.

JM : What surprise are you talking about?

His question made the girls share a look at each other, believing he didn't hear the whole conversation.

SERAH : Uh-...(-trying to make something up-) It's abou-

ARIA : (-rushing to Jimin-) Lemme tell you what it's about.

JM : Alright. I am listening.

ARIA : (-awkward laugh-) Not here. Eonnie is talking over phone, right? Let's go somewhere else. (-dragging him along with her-)

Serah sighed in relief trusting their truth with Aria and continued to talk to Rae.

In the meantime, Aria was thinking hard of a way out of the situation, without having to tell him the truth.

JM : (-getting dragged-) Aria, we are already very far from her. You can tell me here too.

Aria was too busy with her thoughts to register his words and took him to his room.  She finally got to a conclusion as to what could potentially divert his attention.

She let go of his hand as they got in his room. While she locked the door from inside, Aria took a deep breath giving herself strength.

"You can do it, Aria!" She boosted herself under her breath with determination.

JM : Can I now know what the matter is about?

Aria turned around and walked to him confidently. She cupped his face swiftly. Before Jimin could realize, her lips were already on his. His eyeslids stretched out, the widest he could make.

He wanted to just dive in the moment and kiss her back, but for a fact he knew it wasn't the right time. And that something was up with her. She wasn't acting like herself.

At his best, he pulled away from the kiss.

JM : What is wrong? Are you hiding someth-

Before he could complete, his lips were once again smashed with Aria's.
Jimin couldn't resist this time and kissed her back, closing his eyes. It was too late for him to care anymore.

Aria was quite rough and without breaking the passionate kiss, she gently walked him backwards until his legs touched the dressing table. She made him lean to the furniture, so he was reached her height.

The kiss was getting more intense when Jimin felt the need to stop and pulled away. He knew Aria wouldn't like what this might lead to.

JM : We shouldn't do this.

Aria wrapped her hands around his neck seducingly while his hands rested on her waist.

ARIA : Why? I don't see a problem.

JM : Aria, I didn't ask you out yet. And I don't want to do anything you would regret later.

She felt successful seeing him forget about the 'surprise' thing at all.

ARIA : (-smiles-) Then, why don't you ask me out now?

JM : (-looking deep into her eyes-) Can I do that?

Aria snapped back to her senses as his reply caught her off guard. She didn't expect for the least that he would actually say it.

JM : (-smiles fondly-) Ms.Aria. Date me!

Aria couldn't resist it and ended in a laugh.

ARIA : Weren't you going to ask politely?

JM : Is that going to change your answer in any way?

ARIA : Yes. It sure is. Girls like gentlemen.

JM : Maybe they do. But you don't.

ARIA : Who said that?

JM : The one who was going rough on me a while ago. (-smirks-)

Aria blushed hard, realizing her actions now and burried her face in the crook of his neck making Jimin laugh.

He was happy that his shy Aria was back and hugged her with affection.

On the other end of the house, Rae finally explained herself to Taehyung. She revealed about the surprise convincingly enough for him to believe her.

Taehyung had tears in his eyes and hugged her tight, catching Rae off guard with his sudden gesture.

TH : I am sorry... (-sniffs-)

He was sorry for not trusting her till the end, but couldn't admit it at all. Even so, Rae could understand him this time without the need of words.

She comforted him, gently stroking his back.

RAE : It's really okay. You don't have to be sorry. Besides, I would never do anything to hurt you.

They released the hug and had a moment as they stared into each other's eyes without verbs.

Meanwhile, outside in the hall, Hoseok and Jin were anxiously waiting for them to come out.

As soon as they saw them leaving the room, the hyungs sat on the couch and pretended to do something.

Taehyung saw her off with a straight face as he promised her, that he would help not get their surprise reach any other member.

The hyungs, on the other hand, waited till she exited the house and asked Taehyung about their talk.

TH : Don't worry. I took care of it.

HS : If she was an insider, she wouldn't have been that easy to deal with. Are you sure, it will be fine?

TH : (-nods-) Yes, hyung. Trust me, she won't leak any information.

It sounded slightly off to the elders, yet they decided to trust their young one seeing his confidence.

Back story

.

After Rae left the farm house, Jin was already nowhere to be seen.

She replayed their conversation in her mind and arrived at Jin's mention about the Exhibition, happening nearby.

She searched up the Internet and arrived at an Art exhibition, though not fully certain he was there.

She went inside the classy environment where she almost jumped, finding Jin there. He was talking to some girl.

Thus, Rae hid herself behind a pillar and tried to look at the face of the girl. Her eyes widened by the second, she finally had an access of her face.

RAE : Ae Ra eonnie?!

How does Rae know Ae Ra? ;)
What surprise are they planning for BTS?
