“Someone stop him! He’d kill him!!!” Mrs. White shouted horrifically, and that was when Jungkook intervened, pulling Jimin away from him.

“Let me go!” he shouted, trying to go back to Sonny, but he made that impossible by crossing his arms in front of him, so his back is trapped on his chest, denying him of the chance to move.

“Calm down, you’ve done enough” he whispered into his ear, and Jimin released an heavy breath, looking at Sonny angrily as he was taken out of the restaurant.

Jungkook released him, and he turned back to Jungmin, rushing to him.

“Jungmin!” He squatted in front of him and touched his red cheek with so much affection in his eyes.

“I’m sorry you got slapped in my place” he said apologetically, caressing the cheek gently.

“I’ll be fine, father will give it ice treatment when we get home. It’s not that bad” he replied, and Jimin nodded.

“I’m glad”

“You… you fight so well, Mr. Smart” he said.

“That’s because he touched what he shouldn’t have touched” Jimin muttered.

Jungmin smiled immediately, and his smile appeared too as they stared at each other.

Jungmin is clearly seeing the affection in his eyes for him. He has never witnessed it in the eyes of anybody, and that got him wondering why, why does Jimin seem to treasure him so much when they’ve only just met?

“Still have plans to eat?” Jungkook asked, bringing them back.

“Yes, let’s have mushroom pie” Jungmin replied.

“Just that?” Jungkook asked as he walked back to him.

“Yeah, I crave for just that, and you promised to let me have wine tonight, don’t try to break it” he replied.

“Sure” Jungkook smiled, stroking his hair.

“I’ll have it served shortly, please sit” Jimin said, guiding them to a seat beside the glass wall.

He left father and son for the kitchen to get their meal, and the other servers surrounded him immediately.

👥 How were you able to beat him that good?

👥 I love what you did

👥 I know him, he’s a troublemaker in my street and I’m glad someone finally put him in his place.

👥 Jimin you’re the best

He was short of words as he stared at his sudden fans, and Madam White finally joined them.

“I fell during your fight. I’ve never seen you that angry before” she said.

“I’m so sorry Madam White, he just…

“You don’t have to apologize, he deserved it” the woman cut him off, and he smiled.

A DINNER PLACE*

Seokjin got down from his car and checked himself out, brushing the tendrils of hair on his face away before getting his phone to check out his face.

He chuckled, falling for his own beauty before starting to walk into the building.

His dad set him up on a blind date actually, and he’s hoping it’d be a better one this time.

“Hey! Kim Seokjin?” He heard a voice call immediately he got in, and he faced the angle to see the man.

‘Not that handsome, but faces don’t matter’ He thought and started walking there.

He walked past a table where Taehyung is sitting with Nancy. They’re having dinner here too.

“Kim Seokjin?” He said surprisingly, but he didn’t hear till he walked past him.

“Isn’t he the hottest model in the industry right now? I know him” Nancy said.

“Everyone knows him” Taehyung replied, and he faced him.

“Hyung, why don’t you date him” she said, and Taehyung choked on the wine he’s drinking.

“Nancy please…” He said as he wiped the table with tissue.

“I’m serious. Mum will stop bothering you, and besides he’s pretty, tall and…

Taehyung shoved steak into her mouth before she could finish, and she blinked twice.

“Just eat” he said.

*

“Nice to meet you, you’re handsome” Jin said immediately he got to the man.

He didn’t even bother to pull out a chair for him, so he did the honour himself and sat.

“Thanks, you’re hot too. I’m Sam by the way” he replied.

“I’m sure you already know me” he smiled.

“Why would I? Are you the president’s son?” He replied with disdain.

“What!” Jin gasped.

“Ok…now I remember… Kim Seokjin? Nice to meet you too” he said, and Jin scoffed.

What’s going on right now? What’s he trying to do?

He was served wine according to his preference, and he was about drinking when he talked again.

“Heard you dated three guys this year already, did they all f**k you?”

“What the hell! Who are you?” He dropped the cup roughly.

“Ricky, your ex told me everything about you, he’s my best friend” he smiled arrogantly.

“That madman” Jin muttered and stood.

“You’re not even that hot” he said, and Jin smirked.

“Keep your mouth shut, else…

“I don’t know how to do that, just like you don’t know how to keep your legs shut. Heard you f**ked with the three exes, you don’t deserve to be a model, are you a whore?” He said, and Jin picked the wine cup, pouring it all on his face and breaking it on his head.

“What the f**k! How dare you…

He stood and walked up to him, raising his hand to hit him, but it was held by someone. Taehyung.

“Who are you to intervene?” Sam made to attack him with his second hand, but he held that too.

“You have no respect for people, I get that, but I think you should at least respect yourself” Taehyung said and pushed him.

He landed on the chair, and Taehyung grabbed Jin’s purse on the table before grabbing his hand, pulling him out of the restaurant.

They got to the parking lot, and he faced him, handing him the purse.

“Thanks, Taehyung” he said, and a tear fell from his eyes.

“Are you crying?” He blinked.

“It’s just so upsetting. Is it my fault that they dump me after dating me for some weeks? What’s the use of being good looking when all they do is play with my heart” he started crying for real, and Taehyung watched him cry for a while before going closer to wipe his tears gently.

“You are cute, and you don’t deserve the heartbreaks, you just haven’t met your man” Taehyung whispered as he weeped, and Jin smiled despite the sadness.

SILVER RESTAURANT*

Jungkook and Jungmin have been eating since some minutes ago, and the policy that there should be no talks while eating definitely doesn’t work with them because they’ve been chatting non-stop, giggling as they ate.

Jimin sat behind the stand, facepalming himself as he watched them being all happy.

He’s so lost staring that he was unaware of when Madan White got to him.

“Do you have a crush on your boss?” She asked, and Jimin jumped.

“You scared me!”

“You were staring too hard” she replied.

“No strings attached, I just like Jungmin” Jimin said.

“Really? Was that why you got so mad after that guy slapped him mistakenly?”

“Exactly” Jimin replied, and they laughed together.

“It’s so good to see you happy like this, it’s the first time I’d be seeing your genuine smile” Madam White said.

That moment, Jungkook and Jungmin stood from their table at a time, obviously done with their meals.

Jimin rushed over with the Payment machine, and Jungkook gave his his card.

“The pin” he faced him, and he leaned closer immediately, making him bend back, but he smiled and shifted his lips to his ear.

“Jungmin’s birthday date” he whispered.

He blinked as Jungkook stood straight, looking at him with a knowing smile.

Jimin rolled eyes before clicking it. The deduction was done in a second, and he returned the card.

“You should get me a tab, I think I’d be a regular here from now on” he said, and Jimin smirked as he started leaving.

“Bye Mr. Smart” Jungmin waved.

He waved back till they’re out, then he smiled cutely.

*

NEXT DAY, BARON HOLDINGS*

The anniversary preparations got more heated today, and every single staff in the company is busy, even Jungkook himself.

He was busy checking out the list of submitted preferable venues when Jimin came in with the list containing the names of the people to be invited.

“Here, you should scrutinize them before I’d start printing the invites” he said, dropping the papers in front of him.

He looked at him for a minute, and Jimin looked away, feeling uncomfortable with his eyes on him.

He shifted his eyes away and was about to take the papers when his eyes caught the flat shoes he’s putting on.

It’s colour white, but the colour is fading, and the flowers attached to it are starting to fall off.

Jimin shifted his legs away from his sight when he saw him staring, and he finally looked at the papers.

“100 people?” He said, scanning through it.

“Yeah, you said you don’t like crowd” he replied, and then they heard arguments outside.

“And I’m saying you can’t go in, after what we heard you did yesterday?” Angelina’s voice said.

“I only wanna apologize please let me in” Sonny’s voice replied, and Jungkook stood immediately.

He walked out of the office with Jimin, and they met Sonny in the midst of the assistances.

Thanks to the beating he received, his face is currently messed up with bruises all-over.

“Boss, boss please forgive me. I did a lot before I was hired here please don’t fire me! I didn’t mean to slap Jungmin, it was Jimin and…

He was interrupted when Jungkook’s hand met with his cheek, sending stinging burn to that spot.

He slapped him!

All eyes came wide as he staggered back, holding the cheek as he began crying.

Jimin looked at Jungkook’s face and saw pure anger just like the one he felt yesterday while beating him.

“I was willing to let go if you didn’t show up in front of me anymore, but you crossed the line now that you showed up here” he said icily and got his phone, dialling a line.

“Get up here, now” he said and hung up.

Cops showed up almost immediately, and Sonny was grabbed.

“Boss!!! Boss it really was a mistake! Boss!!!” He cried loudly as he got dragged out of the office.

Jungkook looked at Jimin, and he lifted his lashes as he turned his back and walked back into the office.

From the main door of the office, Mr. Jay was watching secretly, and he smirked as he began walking away.

“Jimin, you’ll pay for this”

ELITES ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, 4PM*

The noisy class became silent immediately the the English teacher came in with results of the test they wrote earlier, and he started calling the names from the lowest score till the highest…

“Lalisa Manoban, 92%. Jeon Jungmin, 95%” she said, but no one signified, so she dropped the papers.

“Lisa and Jungmin, where are those two?” She asked, but the class remained silent till a pupil stood.

“I overheard them talking about Zima mountains and…

“Zima what!” The teacher gasped.

*

ZIMA MOUNTAINS*

“Here we are!!!!” Lisa screamed, standing on a rock in the middle of the wide mountains.

“Stop the noises, it’s childish” Jungmin replied, climbing behind her.

They sneaked out of school since an hour ago and rode the bus here, and they’ve been touring the whole bushy place since then.

“It’s a good thing I suggested we sneaked out of school, we’re having fun” Lisa replied.

“There’s no network here, I can’t even go online” Jungmin replied frustratedly.

“But at least it’s not as dangerous as they’ve been saying. We’ve been here since an hour ago and no snake appeared” Lisa said, and Jungmin smiled knowingly.

“Snake! Beside your leg! Snake!!” He shouted.

“Where! No! Ahh!” Lisa began jumping fearfully, and in the process, her leg slipped on the rock, and she began falling.

“Jungmin! Jungmin!” She screamed, and Jungmin quickly stretched an arm to her, but immediately she grabbed it, she pulled him instead, and they both fell on the rock, rolling down the sloppy thing.

“Father!!!!!!” Jungmin shouted as he rolled.

“Mother!!!!” Lisa’s scream mixed with his own till they landed on the ground.

It’s sloppy too, so they kept rolling till they got to a tree which they both bumped into.

They passed out with bleeding scratches all-over their bodies.

*

BARON HOLDINGS, 6PM*

The staffs were already clocking out, but Jimin is still busy with the invitation design on his laptop. He must print it today so he’d distribute tomorrow.

“Jimin are you not done? I’m leaving” Ann stood.

He hasn’t replied when Jungkook came out of his office, and that instant, the homeroom teacher from Jungmin’s school rushed into the office.

“Mr. Gyeon?” Jungkook said surprisingly.

“Mr. Jeon, I’m sorry but I think there’s problem. Jungmin sneaked out of school with Lisa, and they’re both currently in Zima mountains, we…

“What!” Jungkook gasped with terrified wide eyes, but before he could move, Jimin ran out of the office already.

“Jimin!” He ran after him, but the elevator closed before he could get there, and he had to take the second one, but Jimin was already gone when he got down.

He got in his car and drove madly out of the park.

*

ZIMA MOUNTAINS*

The taxi dropped Jimin just by the entrance, and he payed hurriedly.

“It’s already dark, it’s more dangerous in the mountains at night” the driver said, but he wasn’t even listening.

He ran all the way into the mountains, and worse is that he has no torch nor his phone with him, he just kept going.

“Jungmin!!” He shouted as he took each step.

“Jungmin!!”

He was pulled down by a stunt, and his shoe got pulled from his leg forcefully, but he cared less because he stood immediately and resumed his walk into the bushy area.

“Jungmin!!” He shouted again, bumping into another stunt.

He fell and sustained an injury on the arm, but he wasn’t even feeling pains as he stood.

“Jungmin… please be fine… Jungmin!!!” He screamed with all his energy.

*

Meanwhile, Jungmin and Lisa are currently hiding beside the tree, sitting on the ground.

Thanks to the moonlight, they see each other’s faces.

They woke up minutes ago to meet themselves there, and they’ve been hiding like this.

“You caused this” Jungmin said fearfully.

“You said you’ve always wanted to come, that’s why I figured out a way. I’m so sorry I never knew it’d turn out like this” Lisa replied guiltily, and Jungmin checked his phone again.

“There’s still no signal. If we later get out of here alive, I don’t wanna imagine how mad my father will get, I hate when he’s mad at me” he said.

“Jungmin!!!” Jimin’s voice reached them, and they both spranged up at once.

“That’s Mr. Smart’s voice” Jungmin said, coming out of hiding with Lisa, but then they heard a loud growl behind, and they turned slowly at once only to see a wild boar.

“We’re dead” Lisa muttered, peeing on herself.

“Don’t move, and don’t break the eye contact” Jungmin replied.

“I can’t look at it it’s scary!!” Lisa started crying, wetting her skirt more.

“Jungmin run!!!!” Jimin’s voice came, and they turned to see him running towards them already.

He found them!

“Let’s go!” Jungmin grabbed Lisa’s hand and started running with him.

Jimin distracted the boar, so instead of chasing after the kids, it went after him, and he started running insanely for his life.

The boar chased him madly too.

Losing two meals is enough, it’s not ready to lose this one again.

Jimin’s luck got cut when he stumbled on a stunt, and he fell heavily.

Before he could try to stand, the boar was already some feet away from him, and he literally stopped breathing.

He began crying like a baby when he lost all hope, closing his eyes tightly and waiting for the worse.

The boar growled at once before charging forward to pounce on him, but someone jumped into the scene and grabbed him away from it’s mouth.

He landed on a slope with the person, and they started rolling down together, but throughout the roll, he was struggling with the person, thinking it’s the boar.

They got to the end of the slope, and he still kept struggling with closed eyes.

“Leave me alone!!!! Let go of me animal!!!! Let go!!!! Go away!!!!!”

He was hitting and smacking the person as he struggled, but he got a hold of his arms.

“Hey it’s me! Look at me Jimin!” Jungkook’s voice said, and slowly, his tearful eyes opened.

“It’s me” he whispered, and he opened his mouth wide.

“Jungkook!!!” He cried and hugged him tightly immediately, his body shaking so much on him.

“I thought I wasn’t gonna see my Jungmin again!!” He cried again, and Jungkook hugged him back, touching his hair for the first time while his second hand rubbed his back gently.

“Hush, daddy. It’s fine now, I’m here for you”
