You, Yoongi, Jimin, and Taehyung are eating lunch at the diner now and everything seems semi-normal.

Except for Jimin occasionally looking at you every now and then and giving you a look that you haven't gotten from him since you stole his favorite pencil in elementary school.

It's terrifying to say the least.

You continue to eat and have conversation before Taehyung speaks up.

"So, Jimin, how's the company with Y/N going?" Taehyung asks. This causes you to freeze.

"Oh, I actually quit." Jimin immediately replies. This causes you to sigh softly.

"Oh?" Taehyung asks before looking between the two of you. "Oh, I get it. Is that why you two were fighting?" he questions.

"Part of the reason, yeah." Jimin replies. "That and Y/N thinks all men suck." You shut your eyes at his words and take a deep breath.

"Jimin, stop." Yoongi whispers. "Pretty sure all the people sitting around us already heard you say that multiple times now."

You sigh and stuff some of the food in your face as you ignore what Jimin said.

Taehyung and Yoongi do the same as you before Jimin speaks up again.

"Anyway, Taehyung, Yoongi has been working on a new mixtape. He could really use a new artist to design the cover art."

"Oh?" Taehyung arches his eyebrow. "Do you have an idea of what you want to see?"

"I just want something that shows me and I want it to be black and white."

"I can work with that." Taehyung states. "Just let me know when you're available to look at the designs I do." Yoongi nods his head and gives Taehyung a soft smile.

"Oh, speaking of work," Jimin states. "Y/N, did you tell Taehyung that the photoshoot got leaked?" Taehyung looks over at you and lifts his eyebrows.

"Really?" Taehyung's eyes are wide as he speaks. "Y/N, I'm so sorry. Did the director I hire do it?" you shake your head.

"No, Taehyung. It's not your fault. It was some random hire named Eric." You state.

"Ah, can't trust those new hires." Taehyung responds before sighing as he speaks. "Well, good thing I have a back up concept. Do you think you could convince Seokjin to get ready for another photoshoot?" he asks.

You bite onto your lower lip as you shrug.

"Uh... I don't think so. He said that he's just my chef and nothing more." You reply.

"I'm sure if I ask him, he'll do it." Jimin immediately jumps in. You look over at him and furrow your eyebrows, wondering why he's concerned about this ad so much. "What? You promised me a huge percentage on the lip balm sales. That's technically my product too."

You nod your head.

"That's true." You state. "But Seokjin might say no still if I'm at the photoshoot."

"I can be there to make sure everything goes smoothly." Taehyung states.

"And Yoongi and I will be there too." Jimin says while using his fork to play with his food. "That is, if you trust us enough. If not, I don't know what to tell you."

You take a deep breath before looking over at Yoongi. Yoongi nods his head and gives you a look that says 'we didn't let you down last time, you can trust us this time too.'

You press your lips together for a second.

"I guess I can stay in the factory while you guys do that. I can just do product management and make sure that all of the lip balms we're making are consistent and take home the bad batches so we don't waste product."

Everyone nods their head and you give them a small reassuring smile.

"Sounds good to me." Taehyung says. "Jimin, you let me know when Seokjin says yes."

"Okay, Taehyung-ssi." Jimin says which causes Taehyung to laugh.

"I'm younger than you, don't call me that." Taehyung then looks over at Yoongi and gives him a kind smile. "I want to help with your mixtape cover, but I want to finish this first, if that's okay?"

"Yeah, that's fine. I want Y/N's stuff finished too. I don't want her worrying about her product information being leaked too early. I saw how badly it affected her." Yoongi responds.

This surprises you.

Yoongi is more caring than you expected.

Maybe he was in a bad place when he blackmailed you, similar to how you were in a bad place when you blamed Yoongi and insulted Jimin and Seokjin.

You grin at Yoongi.

"Thanks, Yoongi." Yoongi gives you a small smile, revealing his gums as his eyes squint while he looks at you.

"No problem."

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

"I'm home." You say once you step into the door that goes from the garage to the house.

You take off your blazer and place it on the coat rack before making your way towards the double kitchen doors.

You peek your head in and see Seokjin standing at the stove, stirring something in a pot.

You look him up and down and gulp.

"J-Jin?" you ask. He glances over his shoulder and looks at you. He gives you a quick head nod before he looks back at the pot.

"How was work?" he asks. You softly smile before stepping into the kitchen.

"Well, we figured out who leaked the information."

"Oh?"

"It was Eric." You state. "You were right and I overreacted." Seokjin glances over at you once more before nodding his head as he lifts his eyebrows.

He doesn't say anything further, so you make your way towards the dining room table. You sit down on one of the chairs before clearing your throat as you start to feel uncomfortable in your own home.

"Um, what's for dinner?" you question.

"I'm making broth with some chicken." He states. You nod your head.

"Sounds delicious."

"Mhm." He states. You let out a soft sigh before leaning back in your seat as you patiently wait for him to finish cooking.

He continues to stir the mixture in the pot before stepping away to grab a bowl. You watch as he uses the ladle to scoop some of the broth into the bowl before adding in some extra herbs.

He steps towards the dining room table and places the bowl onto the dining table in front of you, setting a spoon onto a napkin next to the bowl.

"Enjoy." He states before stepping towards the sink to start washing dishes. "I'll be in my room if you want something made for dessert." You nod your head at his words.

"Okay... thank you." He nods his head before placing the clean kitchen tools and pots into the drying rack. He leaves the kitchen and lets you eat by yourself to make his way towards his room.

You watch as he leaves the kitchen and let out a soft sigh.

You miss Jin scolding you.

You miss Jin making you laugh.

You miss his dad jokes.

You miss feeling the butterflies in your stomach when he talks to you.

You miss him.

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

You're now standing outside of Seokjin's room.

His door is closed and he's inside his room.

You're nervously fiddling with your fingers as you stare at the closed door, fearing what is going to happen.

You called your father to set up a family dinner with him and your mom. You invited Lisa as well but didn't tell her that he'll be there.

Seokjin wants you to settle your guy issues and if that's what it takes to get him to not be disappointed in you anymore, then so be it.

You raise your hand and ball your hand into a fist as your knuckles brush against the wood of the door.

All you have to do is knock.

So why can't you?

It's not difficult. Just tell Seokjin that you're going to try to resolve your issues with men then walk out of his room and retreat to your own.

You take a deep breath before gently knocking on the door one time.

You wait a few seconds.

No answer.

You knock a second time.

Wait a few seconds.

Nothing.

"J-Jin?" you ask before knocking a third time. Your voice comes out hoarse as you speak.

"Come in." Seokjin's voice sounds calm and relaxed.

Your hand moves to the doorknob and you slowly twist it to unveil his room.

You put your head through the small crack of the door as you look at Seokjin.

He's sitting on his bed, manga in hand as he reads. His body is relaxed, long legs lying flat on the bedsheets. His hair is covering his forehead. His plump lips are slightly parted as he reads.

"What's up?" he asks.

"I... just wanted to let you know that I'm having a family dinner this weekend." You state. Seokjin sets his manga down to look at you, interested. "I invited Lisa, my mom..."

He nods his head.

"Oh, and uh, my dad." You state. This causes Seokjin to turn his body towards you. He tilts his head to the side. "I'm going to be having a really deep talk with him; so will Lisa... and my mom."

He nods his head.

"Can you make a nice dish to... ease the tension?" you ask. He nods his head.

"Sure... how about chicken noodle soup?" he asks. "Hoseok has the best recipe for it. I could ask him to help me cook. He's very good at easing tension. His sunshine personality makes it easy to be calm."

You nod your head and give him a soft smile.

"Okay, yeah, that would be nice." You state. He nods his head and gives you a soft grin, a little dimple showing up on his cheek as he does this.

You glance around his room for a few seconds, noticing the Mario Bro figurines on his nightstand. This causes you to smile a little wider before you look over at Seokjin again.

"Anything else?" Seokjin asks. You shake your head.

"Uh... no." you state. "Thank you." Seokjin nods his head and watches as you slowly back away from his door, slowly closing it behind you as you leave his room.

You take a deep breath before a small smile forms on your face.

He looked a little proud of you for inviting your dad.

He's right.

It's about time that you let go of that negative energy towards men and start thinking realistically.

Not every man is as horrible and annoying as your dad, ex-boyfriend, and every man who's doubted you from the beginning.

The boys have shown you that much by now.

*****
I'm in the mood for a little Q&A. Now that all of you who have come here from Voyeurism know a little more about me, you probably have more of an idea about the kind of questions you would like to ask me.

So, if you're curious about anything, go ahead and ask here and I'll respond when I get a chance to!

Since I updated you all on recent events Friday, I haven't noticed anything else going on other than what I've mentioned Friday (which is surprising bc a lot of the time, it seems like events happen daily).

One thing I did want to say is: I'm not sure if it's confirmed that "Butter" will be a collab with Ariana or Bieber. HOWEVER, regardless of who it is, don't spread hate about that artist online if you don't like them. I've seen a lot of Bieber slander and figured I'd point out: Jungkook loves Bieber. He looks up to him as a musical influence and you all know how sensitive he is. If he sees us spreading hate about this collab instead of being proud of them, it'll affect all of the boys negatively. I don't care if you don't like the artist they collab with, just be respectful at least. I've seen people say "if they collab with Bieber this will be my thirteenth reason to k*ll mys*lf." Don't say shit like that bc the boys might genuinely think you are suicidal and will beat themselves up about it.

You all know that if any artist uses them for clout, they'll get their karma for it (Jason Derulo and Charlie Puth for example), so just be respectful for now UNLESS they use them for clout. Give them a chance first.

I hope all of you are doing well. Please remember to drink your water, eat well, wear your masks, social distance, and get plenty of sleep (also, don't forget to remove your makeup, wear your SPF, and do your skincare!)

Borahae
