Chapters 1 to 19 have been re edited.
In other words there are changes so it's best to read from the start because you might experience confusion and you will miss out on some stuff if you just continue ahead without going back.
It's up to you.
I'm just trying to improve my work and doing my part in notifying you.
Enjoy💜

A few hours has gone by and it's still dark as Jimin returns and pulls himself up onto the edge of the balcony.

He lets out a sigh as he doesn't realize that he's not alone.

Hoseok: Are you feeling better?

Jimin looks to the left and sees Hoseok standing with his arms crossed as he's looking up at him while he's leaning against the electrical box that's in the corner of the balcony and next to the sliding door as the curtain blows in the gentle breeze.

Jimin: Oh...it's you...

Hoseok pushes himself up.

Jimin: What are you still doing up?

Hoseok: Well...for one...it's weekend.
And two...

He walks over.

Hoseok: We need to talk about your behavior towards Namjoon...
But first come down...

Jimin: ...
*sigh*
Fine...

He jumps down from the edge and lands safely a few steps away from Hoseok.

Jimin: Happy now?

Hoseok nods.

Hoseok: Yah...
Now...you didn't answer my question...

Jimin: You already know the answer to that so why are you still asking?
It's like asking what's 2+2.
The answer is obvious.
Even a new born would know.

Hoseok doesn't say anything.

Jimin: Also you said you want to talk about my "behavior" towards Mr. Oh such a perfect leader...
Or should I say he wants you to talk to me about it...
Can't fight his own battles and needs someone else to do it for him...
That's so...so...so...pathetic...
He's even treating Stella like garbage...
Or have you magically somehow not noticed it?

Hoseok sighs.

Hoseok: I know...
We all see it...
But certain things need to be done...

Jimin scrowls.

Jimin: So you agree that the way he treats her is perfectly fine?
NOTHING is wrong with it?!
Because he is your leader! So perfect! Can do no wrong!?
He always does the right thing!
That he can treat her like shit all he fucking wants and that she deserves it?!
That she doesn't deserve an ounce of fucking respect?!
Is that what you're saying?!

Hoseok's grey eyes widen.

Hoseok: No...no...
I'm not saying all of that...
Of course she deserves respect...

Jimin: Doesn't seem like it...

He says with a frown.
Hoseok sighs.

Hoseok: Look.

He walks closer looking down before looking at Jimin again.

Hoseok: I might not agree with how he gets some things done...
But sometimes you have to do things you don't want to...
We have to think with our minds...
There are times where we can't follow our hearts...
We need to think with our brains and not hearts...
Sometimes listening to your heart can do more bad than good...
So we need to think logically not emotionally...

Jimin: So to put it plain and simple...
You and Namjoon think the same it seems...
After all...what does it matter if she gets hurt....
She's not one of us...
So why should we care,right?!
Am I the only one who cares about her?!
In the time her and I spent time together we have grown to be best friends...
And I will always be there for her...
Always....
No matter what!

Hoseok: Jimin. Don't-

Jimin: I know what you're going to say. I know. You don't have to tell me.

Hoseok nods.

Jimin: Look.
Hoseok,I know that you and Namjoon know each other longer than you know me...
So of course then you'll choose his side...

Hoseok: ...

Jimin: You're a very loyal person and I respect that...
I know that you want to protect Namjoon...but he needs to face his problems ALONE.
I respect you a lot and I'm glad to have you as my friend...
I really owe you...

Hoseok shakes his head.

Jimin: But I just can't agree with how Namjoon treats her...
I really can't...
And if anyone tries to hurt her...
Be it Namjoon...anyone...
Or even..................you.........
I won't hesitate to do whatever it is to make sure no one hurts her....
I really hope I don't need to go against you...
So please....
Please...
Don't push me...
Also...if you expected me to respect and trust him...
After the shit he caused...
And to also agree with how he treats her...
Then you can personally tell and show him this.

He lifts up his hand and shows his middle finger...

Jimin: GO TO HELL.

Hoseok: I-

Before Hoseok can say or do anything...Jimin walks past him...
Jimin stops a few steps away and looks over his shoulder.

Jimin: One more thing...
Tell him to stop sending you to "fix" me...because I'm not broken...

Hoseok doesn't say anything as he looks at the ground.

Jimin: I'll take my leave now...
Goodnight,Hobi...

Hoseok's eyes widen for a second and he lets out a sigh.

Hoseok: He called me by the nickname he made for me...
At least I know he isn't too angry at me...

He looks up at the sky.

Hoseok: Things will get better...
All we need is time...

-In Namjoon's room-

Namjoon's sitting on his bed with the lights off only in black sweat pants.

Namjoon: ...
I shouldn't let Jimin get to me...
He still needs to learn...
And no matter what I tell him...
Whenever I try to give an explanation...
Especially about what he says is my fault...
He just says that I'm lying...
People will always do what they want in order just to feel safe and happy...
To protect themselves...
Even if they know they're wrong...
Even if they know the truth,but can't handle it...
Even if they know it and it hurts...
Just not to feel it as much they turn their backs on reality and believe lies...
What a great thing about being a person...
Hurting yourself more by believing lies while knowing the truth but still.
You choose to believe the lies instead of accepting and facing the truth...

There's a knock at the door and he looks at it.

Namjoon: Who could that be?
Maybe it's Tae...
He's probably here for the book I lent from him...

He gets up from his bed and takes one of his shirts.
He puts it on and walks over to the door.
He opens it.
He stays silent for a second as he sees it's none other than Jimin.
Jimin has a serious look on his face.

Namjoon: It's you...
What do you want?
Aren't you supposed to be in bed already?

Jimin: I'm here to talk.

Namjoon: Whatever it is can wait till tomorrow...
I'm busy right now.

Jimin: Ohhhhhhh.
I'm soooooo sorry to bother your session of you licking your wounds.
I seriously couldn't care less.
We're gonna talk right now.
And you're gonna listen to what I have to say since I had to listen to you.
After all it's the least you could do...

They stare at each other silently...until after a few seconds.
Namjoon sighs and reluctantly nods agreeing as he let's Jimin enter his room.
Jimin walks over to the bed as he looks around and Namjoon closes the door.

Jimin: I see you got some new books...

He sits down on the bed making himself comfortable even putting his feet with his shoes on the blanket.
Namjoon frowns at the sight but chooses to ignore it.

Jimin: Make sense.
You've always loved books like Tae...
Especially history ones.
This bed is pretty comfortable...
Having a bathroom in your room is pretty nice,right?
The shared bathroom can't even fit a bath,but yours has a shower and a bath separately.
How's it being royalty?

Namjoon walks over to him.

Namjoon: Are you going to be stubborn and waste more of my time or are you going to talk?
You wanted to talk.
Didn't you?

Jimin: I was just trying to lighten the mood...
Not that someone like you would understand that...
Anyways I came here to talk about different things...
But for now I'll be generous and understanding since it's late and you said you were busy eventhough I don't believe it.
I'll just talk about the most important ones.
First I want to tell you to stop sending Hoseok to do your job for you...
I know you have a problem with me and you don't like me...
Don't worry...
You're not hurting me at all...
Because the feeling is mutual...very...very mutual:)
I hate you more than you could ever imagine.
This*pointing to Namjoon and then himself* is between us.
Don't drag him into it.

Namjoon: Hoseok is my second in command and also my friend.
I'm not doing anything wrong.
I'm not dragging him into anything.
He's doing his job...
You need to be shown how to act since you clearly don't know how to.
If you have such a problem that Hoseok is standing with me and not you then go...
It's that simple...
Nothing's holding you back and I won't stop you.

Jimin: And leave room for you to hurt Stella more?
You're seriously telling the reason for most of her comfort and smiling to go away just so you can make her hurt even more?
*scoff*
In your fucking dreams.

Namjoon: Don't flatter yourself.

-Outside-

Hoseok's standing in front of Namjoon's door.

Hoseok: I need to talk to Namjoon...

He grabs the door handle.

Hoseok: I won't take much of his time...but I need to talk to him now.

The door swings open and he steps inside.

Jimin: Stay away from her...

Hoseok's eyes widen.

Jimin: I'm not going to say it again.

Hoseok: Jimin is here?
I guess I shouldn't be surprised...
I sort of expected this...

Jimin gets up from the bed and sees Hoseok.
Namjoon turns around and sees him too.

Jimin: Oh! Hey,Hoseok...
When did you come in?

Hoseok: Like 2 seconds ago...
Why are you here?

Jimin: Just giving some feedback to our dear leader...
We're supposed to give feedback and be brutally honest,right?
Afterall...
Yoongi always says that honesty is the best policy...
So yah...
Just being honest and giving feedback...
Namjoon's our leader after all...
We're supposed to be able to confide in him,right?
We're supposed to be able to trust him,right?
And since he's leader.
He should be capable of receiving feedback whether it's good or bad.
That's all I was doing...
I think I just about said what I wanted to say...
So I'll go now.

He walks past Hoseok and is about to walk out but he stops in his tracks and looks over his shoulder at Namjoon.

Jimin: One last thing...
I have one last piece of advice for our dear leader...

He looks at Namjoon.

Jimin: Get that stick out of your ass and you'll be much happier.

Hoseok sighs.

Jimin: I guarantee it.

He looks at the door.

Jimin: Goodnight,Hobi...

He walks out closing the door as Hoseok walks over to Namjoon and Namjoon sighs.

Hoseok: Are you okay?

Namjoon: Other than feeling irritated...I'm fine...

Hoseok: Just ignore him.

Namjoon: That's the plan...

Hoseok: I heard that he told you to stay away from Stella...

Namjoon: Yes,he did...
And if that's what he wants...
I'll gladly do it...
I've been doing it since she came it.
If he wants me to stay away from her then he needs to open his eyes and see that I stay away from her,but she does the complete opposite...

He says the last sentence thinking about when he entered the kitchen when you were about to make the fruit salad.
DUDE! SHE WAS THERE ALREADY!
You did the opposite of staying away XD
He shakes his head chasing away his thoughts and Hoseok furrows his eyebrows a little.

Namjoon: He should have the talk with her and not me.

Hoseok: Just forget about it.
I came to talk to you...
About Stella's case...

Namjoon looks at him waiting for him to continue.

Hoseok: We haven't made any progress yet...
Neither has the police...

Namjoon: I'm glad you came here...
I wanted to talk about her case too...

Hoseok: Did you find something?

He asks with curiosity and wide eyes.

Namjoon: Yes...
I found something...
And it's something that will make catching the perpetrators easier and also make Yoongi less stressed about her case...
I know where those two might be hiding...

Hoseok smiles.

Hoseok: That's great.
How did you find out?

Namjoon: Well...
You and the other guys know about my status...
And so after careful considering...I decided to put it to use...
Though before you go and tell Yoongi...
Keep in mind that I only know about places where they might be...
They could change locations anytime...so if we want to get them before they get away...then we need to act fast...

Hoseok: You're right...
We'll need to act fast...

Namjoon: Yes,inform Yoongi about this and tell him that the three of us will get together tomorrow at 09:55.

Hoseok nods and exits the room.
Namjoon sighs.

-Morning-
-6 February,Sunday-

It's the next morning as you're already awake and dressed.

Stella: Mom,today is going to be a great day,right?
I can just feel it:)
The sun is shining brightly and one of these days it's going to start snowing...

You say looking inside the locket your mother gave you for your birthday the last time you saw her.
Inside the locket is a picture of you,your mom and dad.
Your dad is carrying little you on his shoulders while your mom is laughing.
You always keep this locket near you...it's how you feel close to her.
She always told you to look after the locket and you promised her so you wear it everyday.

Stella: Mom,Jimin is probably waiting for me in the living room.
I should go eat and then he and I will go for our daily jog.
I'll talk to you later,mom.
Love you.

You close your locket and put it in your shirt.
You go to the living room and see everyone eating breakfast.
Namjoon's eating his usual breakfast which is a plate of beans,two sunny side up eggs,four pork sausages,slabs of bacon,two seared halves of a tomato,mushrooms,golden triangle toast,black pudding and of course black coffee in his favourite dark blue dragon themed mug.
He always saves the beans for last as you've noticed each time you saw him eating breakfast.
Sometimes he even eats beans during the day.
It's obvious that he really likes them.
You've also noticed he eats lots of rice.
Most of the time it's plain rice and sometimes he adds salt and/or soy sauce and/or mayo to it:)
Most of the time he keeps the doesn't use all 3 together.
One day he'd just throw salt on the rice and then the next he'd use both soy sauce and mayo together.
Only every so often he uses all 3 together.
I honestly don't know that would taste since I don't like soy sauce and mayonnaise😅

Taehyung's sipping on his glass of kuding tea with his plate of asparagus,pea and gruyere spring omelette.

Jin's munching on his bowl of berries with his favourite and usual cup of green tea infront of him on the coffee table.
He also has a plate of fried tofu next to his green tea as you've come to realize he really likes fried tofu.

Hoseok's busy enjoying a bite of his lemongrass flavored savory oatmeal with orange chilli pork before picking up his glass of mint tea and taking a refreshing sip and afterwards going back to enjoying his breakfast.

Jungkook's munching on his grilled cheese sandwiches as it's his number one favorite food to eat as the second is burgers.
He drinks from his second glass of banana milk like his life depends on it as his first glass is empty on the coffee table.

Jimin's taking a sip from his glass of red wine with his plate of strawberry jam toast with strawberry butter that's on the coffee table.
He lets out a happy sigh closing his eyes after taking another sip.

Jimin opens his chocolate brown eyes and spots you as the others are too busy enjoying their food that they don't notice you watching.
Jimin smiles showing his dimple.

Jimin: Hey,there,sleeping beauty*eye smile and smirking*

Your eyes widen a little and you blush as everyone else looks at you.
The others except Namjoon all greet you either by smiling,nodding or doing both.

Stella: Uh...uh...hi...
I...I mean good morning.

Jimin smirks tilting his head to the side as he's swirling his glass of wine in the air clearly enjoying how flustered you are.

Jimin: Getting shy so early...cute...

He tilts his head back a little and takes a another sip of his wine as you blush even more.
Namjoon glances a few times but continues on to eat his food.

Good LORD!!!! HELP ME!!!!

Jimin finishes taking a sip and looks at you.

Jimin: Why are you standing there huh?

Stella: *basically half dead*

Jimin: Come on.
Sit down here.

He moves over to the right from his spot basically right now sitting next to Namjoon.

Namjoon: ...

Jimin smiles and nods to where he just sat.

Jimin: Sit here.
You can get in and out easier and you'll also have more leg room.
Can't let your beautiful legs get cramps like mine did*winking and eye smile*

You blush deeply and nod.
You walk over and sit down glancing at him a few times but keep your head low making him chuckle.
It causes your face to flush even more.
He takes another sip of his wine looking at you from the corner of his left eye as you feel your heart pounding against your ribcage while you're head is still lowered.
He lets out a sigh and he lowers his glass a bit.

Jimin: So...

You look at him as he turns his torso a little and rests his left hand on the back of the couch holding his glass of wine under his lips making the space between you both a bit less.

Jimin: How did you sleep?

He asks lowering his glass more between the space that's between you both making the bottom of it hover less than an inch off the couch.
You look through your peripheral vision in your right eye at his right hand holding his wine glass.

Jimin: Good or...

Stella: Pretty good...d...

Jimin: Mhm...good...

He slowly lifts up his glass turning his head straight ahead and takes a slow sip keeping his eye on you through his peripheral vision in his left eye.
You play with your fingers and he sees it.
He smiles as he takes a sip and takes the rim of the glass away from his lips once again letting out a sigh.

Jimin: I'm glad you slept well...

Stella: ...

Jimin: Mhm...

Stella: Mhm?*still not looking at him*

Jimin: Is something wrong?

Stella: No...why?

Jimin: Because you're pretty quiet right now and most of all you're literally avoiding looking at me.

Stella: *feels caught*
*stays quiet*

Jimin: Oh...I see.

He nods.

Stella: What?

Jimin: You're upset about everything I did yesterday huh?

Stella: Huh? What?
*looking at him*

Jimin: Did my flirting here*gesturing to the couch you two are sitting on where yesterday you fell on him when he was tied and you realized he was lying about not being able to feed himself because he was tied up* and by your room...
Was it too much for you?

The others silently listen.

Stella: Huh?
You're talking about that?
I already forgot everything*HUGE LIE*

I'm really lying right now.

How the hell can I forget?! How does he expect me to forget?! Geez!!!!

Stella: I mean you did take your flirting a little further...
NOT very far*saying it to clear up whatever the others might think I'm saying*
But that's it.
You're a flirt and so and you like teasing me*shrug*
It wasn't anything big.
I already told you I wasn't upset.
I'm just a little sleepy still that's why I'm so quiet.

Jimin: I don't really believe that.
Are you sure?

You nod looking at him.

Stella: One hundred million percent*smile*

Jimin smiles back.
He sits up turning his body a little more to you before raising his left hand to the right side of your face as you're still looking at him.
He carefully brushes back some red,blonde and dark brown strands of your hair that came loose from your ponytail.
He tucks them behind your ear as you're trying your hardest not to blush but eventhough you're trying pink starts to emerge from your cheeks.

Jimin: Perfect.

He says pulling his hand away as you continue to blush not knowing if he meant perfect as in he's happy that you're not upset with him or if he meant that now that he pushed the strands of your hair away and tucked them behind your ear it's perfect or if he meant both.
His plump lips curl up into a smile showing his dimple.

Namjoon: You should be careful...

You and the others look at him.

Namjoon: Your glass of wine.
You should really be careful with it.
Some damage might get caused and you might not be able to get rid of it.
It wouldn't just affect you.
Think before you do it again.

Everyone stays quiet as Jimin and Namjoon stare at each other.
You feel a little confused as to why Namjoon cares so much about the couch getting stained but you shrug it off a bit thinking that he probably doesn't want Yoongi to feel like he has to clean it because Yoongi does the most around the apartment.
Cooking,cleaning and so on.
You think maybe Namjoon is just trying to teach Jimin.
Namjoon looks calm but he's obviously a little annoyed while Jimin doesn't bother to mask his annoyance.
Jimin silently lifts up the glass and extends his arm placing his glass on the coffee table next to his plate of food not breaking eye contact with Namjoon.
You gulp as the air is tense.
At that moment you guys hear footsteps and out comes Yoongi with a tray wearing a big smile.

Yoongi: Hey,sorry for taking so long my boss was talking with me.
Partly true but with everything that I heard while in the kitchen I didn't want to interrupt.

You shake your head smiling as you feel happy to see him and relieved that he came making all the tension dissipate almost instantly with his presence.

Stella: It's fine.

He smiles wide showing his chin dimple and his moles on his face get pushed up.
He walks over to the coffee table.
Jimin quickly picks up his plate so that Yoongi can set the tray down infront of you on the table.
You smile as you see your breakfast that's your favourite.
Vanilla pancakes with slices of star fruit around the rim of the plate forming a pattern and of course black coffee in your mug.
I'm kind of envious right now ( ' • • )
There's another plate and another mug in the tray which is obviously Yoongi's breakfast.
A plate with 2 pieces of peanut butter cream bread with his favorite mug filled with ginger tea that's topped off with cream,cinnamon and small pieces of caramel.

Stella: Wow.
You really can cook.
Not that I'm surprised.
I mean you're pretty talented*smile*

Yoongi blushes a little as he takes his mug and plate.

Stella: I hope you enjoy your breakfast.
You deserve it*smile*

He blushes even more and you find it adorable as he does.

He looks like a shy little kitty cat T^T

Yoongi: Thanks.
I will.
I hope you enjoy yours too.

You nod smiling.

Stella: I will.

He continues to blush walking to the couch that's near the hall where Taehyung and Hoseok are sitting on.
Hoseok scoots over to the left so that Yoongi can sit in the middle of the two of them so that he can put his food down and actually enjoy them.
Yoongi sits down.
That couch they're sitting on is on the opposite end of the coffee cable and directly opposite from where you and Jimin are sitting.
The couch is facing where you two are sitting as the couch is against the apartment wall.
The couch where Namjoon,Jin and Jungkook are sitting is on your right and there's no couch in your left.
You all continue to eat with no trace of tension in the air.
Yoongi takes a bite of his peanut butter cream bread.
He chews and swallows before picking up his mug of ginger tea licking off his lips with a big smile.
He's clearly enjoying his breakfast and the others are too.
You smile feeling happy that they're enjoying themselves.

-Time skip-

After 1 hour after eating breakfast you and Jimin went for your daily jog starting it from the minute you both set foot outside the apartment building.
You two took your time.
Like really took your time.
Mostly because Jimin was saying that your scar is still sensitive.
You obviously found it sweet and you both took the time to take in everything.
And now run into the park that's opposite your workplace.
You two stop by one of the trees.

Jimin: Your running is improving.
I'm impressed.
We should rest a bit.

He says with a smile making his singular right dimple more apparent.

Stella: And you promise to not pull any tricks like last time?

Jimin: Yes.
And to reassure you.
I swear it on Jin's "Triple whitening fluoride toothpaste".

You both spend time laughing and talking about nothing in particular.

-Time skip-

Jimin: Stella?

He asks sitting with his left leg being straight out infront of him as his right leg as bent facing up and his right arm is bent resting his forearm on his right knee while his left hand is next to him keeping him up.

Stella: Yes,Jiminie:)

He smiles.

Jimin: Jiminie?

Stella: Yes,Jiminie.
Since you call me "princess" and so on I thought it's only fair that I call you something other than your name*smile*
Do you like your nickname?

Jimin: No...
I love it!

Stella: Great!
So what did you want to say?

Jimin: I'm bored...😅

Stella: ................
Me too...
What can we do?

Jimin: Mhm...

We try to think of what we can do to get rid of this feeling of boredom.
And then...
My phone beeps...
Signaling someone sent me a message.

Stella: I have a new message...
I wonder from who.

Jimin: Yah...
But it's probably Yoongi...

He says taking a sip from his water bottle using his right hand as you take out your phone and put your bottle down while uncrossing your legs and straighten them out before pulling them together.

Stella: Maybe.

You look at Jimin.

Stella: It's Hansol.

Jimin: Seriously?!
Is he some sort of bloodhound!?!?!
Almost every single time I get to spend time with her...especially alone...
He finds some way to ruin the moment...
Can't I just spend one moment alone with her?
One.
That's all I ask...
Is it too much to ask?
Am I being unreasonable?
What does he want?

He asks barely hiding his annoyance as he closes his water bottle and waits for an answer from you.

Stella: Well he said that he's bored and I said we're bored and now he has an idea...

Jimin: I dread whatever his idea is...
Oh. An idea. What is it?

He asks with a deep frown but quickly wipes it as you look at him and he's holding his water bottle in his left hand.
Your phone beeps again.

Stella: He said that he will explain everything on the group.
So I should check.

Stella: Hansol's idea is a picnic here around 12.
I also asked him and Jen if I can invite all of you.
They agreed:)
So now I'll tell everyone.
I'm so excited.

Jimin: Me too*eye twitch*
I swear to God...
This guy is on a mission and hellbent on ruining my time with Stella...
Like seriously.
Why can't I get some time alone with my best friend?

He puts his bottle down in the space between you both and takes out his phone.

Jimin pouts putting his phone down on his lap again sitting with his left hand supporting him and his right forearm on his right knee that's up.

Jimin: I am not short!
Seriously!
I'm just surrounded by giants.

Stella: Yes.
You're not short.
Plus I love your height.

His eyes widen looking at you on his left.

Stella: It fits you.
Not too tall...not too short.
I personally think you look cute😄

He smiles.

Jimin: Wow!
You love my height and you think I look cute?
I've never been called "cute" before...
But I'm not against it...especially if it's you.
So thanks for complimenting my height:)

Stella: No problem.
And another reason why I love your height is because.

You scoot closer to him leaning to your right towards him as you're leaning on your right arm and pull both your legs to your left side and your right hand is also on the grass like your left hand and Jimin turns his torso a little towards you keeping and turning his left hand towards you on the grass as his right forearm he still on his right knee that's up while he leans closer.
You're quite close too but not super close.

Stella: I get to look directly into your beautiful chocolate brown eyes since we're the same height*smile*

Jimin's eyes widen a bit and he feels his heart fluttering a bit.
He chuckles as you pull away.

Jimin: What a flirt*smirk and eye smile*

You giggle.

Stella: Anyways.
I should really tell the others about the picnic thing...

You look at the time.

Stella: It's almost 10.

Jimin: Yah.

Jimin puts away his bright red covered phone and you do the same as he smiles.

Jimin: Everything is settled.
So let's go and do the grocery shopping.

Stella: Yah:)

Jimin gets up and helps me up.
We buy all the things we thought would be nice and that is also on Yoongi's list.
The people in the shop.
Customers and employees alike keep on glancing at me and Jimin as we shop together.
They're obviously mostly glancing because of how Jimin is being his usual self which means he's flirting with me and I'm of course doing it back a little but most of the time I'm a red mess and people are probably thinking that we're a couple.
Jimin notices but is unbothered.
In fact the reactions of the people make him flirt even more with me and I honestly feel like I could just evaporate like a puddle of water.
After a few minutes we head to the counter and he pays for our items...
Honestly I like most people would feel bad like I did with Jin and Yoongi when they paid.
Jimin notices it.

Cashier: You may take your card back,sir.

He nods tearing his eyes away from you as he takes his bank card back.
As he does you silently put your bottle in one of the bags and take that bag and another one as you wait for him.
After putting his card in his wallet and closing it up he puts it in the back of his short's pocket.
He puts his bottle in one of the three remaining bags and takes them.
One in his left and two in his right.
He looks at you.

Jimin: Ready to go?

You look at him nodding with a blank expression but clearly you feel a bit down.

Jimin: Okay...
Let's go...

You nod silently and he leads the way to the doors.
You're deep in your thoughts not really paying attention to anything.
He lifts up his left hand twisting his hand a bit making his palm face up as the bag is in his grip hanging on his palm.
He shakes his arm a little making the bag slide over his wrist.
He grabs the door handle and opens it as the paper bag's handles rubs against his skin.
He steps aside for you.

Jimin: Here.
Ladies first*smiling and eye smile to try and get you to smile but it doesn't work*

Stella: *nods in thanks and silently walks out*

Jimin: ...*smile falls a little*

He walks out after you and the door swings closed behind him.
You both walk in silence as you're walking on the right side next to the road as Jimin's walking on the left next to you.
The only sounds to be heard are the city sounds,your footsteps and the paper bags with the groceries in.

Stella: ...

Jimin: *glancing at you*
...
*sigh*

Stella: ...

Jimin: Hey...

I look at him.

Stella: Yah?

Jimin: What is it?
Are you okay?

Stella: What do you mean?
Of course I'm okay.
I'm just tired.
I think I need some coffee or something.

Jimin: ...

Jimin stops in his tracks and you stop as well looking at him confused while turning to face him.

Stella: What is it?

Jimin: You're lying to me.

Stella: I'm not-

Jimin: Don't.

You don't say anything as you lower your eyes.
Jimin sighs.

Jimin: Come on...
We're friends.
Talk to me.

You sigh and nod.
Jimin sets down the grocery bags and walks closer to you.
You bend down a little putting down the grocery bags you're carrying.
You stand back up again as Jimin stops infront of you.

Jimin: Just take a breath and talk to me.
You'll feel better afterwards.

He gently takes your left hand with his right.
You watch as his thumb gently caresses your knuckles.
You sigh.

Stella: It's just.
I feel bad for putting you guys through all this.

Jimin: ...

Stella: I know I'm not doing this all on purpose.
I know.
It's not like I wished for my apartment building to burn down with most of my stuff.
It's not like I wished for any of it...
But I still feel bad.
You guys don't even know me and yet you're allowing me to stay with you guys and treating me like one of your own.
I mean.
You guys are actually trusting me.
I could be a bad person.
A really bad one.
You said I'm a good one but I could easily not be one.
I could be acting.
I could've lied about my ex cheating.
I could've been the one cheating and chose to lie he did it to make you guys pity me.
I could be lying and acting and here you guys are still trusting me.
Buying me clothes.
Hair products.
My favorite snacks and so on.
Like you guys know me when you guys don't know me at all.

You pull your hand away.

Stella: I don't know how you guys can trust me like this...

You say looking down at the pavement.

Jimin: I know.

Stella: Mhm?*lifting your eyes a bit looking through my lashes at him*

Jimin: Everything you said is true.
You could be lying.
You could be acting.
You could've been the one that cheated instead.

Stella: ...

Jimin: But...

He moves closer and gently places his hands on your shoulders.

Jimin: I don't believe that...

He slides his one hand from your shoulder to your cheek and gently lifts your face.

Stella: ...

Jimin: What I do believe is that you're a genuine and amazing person.
You wouldn't cheat.
You wouldn't try to trick us.
You wouldn't lie to us.
And also.
The same goes for us.

Stella: Huh. What do you mean?

Jimin: Look.
We're guys.
We could also be acting.
We could be lying to you and we could...
Do bad things.

You stay silent for a second.

Stella: But I know you won't.
I know you guys aren't acting and lying to me.

Jimin: How?
We could be really convincing.
I mean you fell for my acting when I faked my leg cramp.

Stella: I know...
I just...
I just know you guys aren't lying and acting.

Jimin: See.

Stella: What?

Jimin: It's the same thing.

Stella: It is.

He nods.

Jimin: You believe us without knowing us.
We believe you the same way.

Stella: *sigh*
I just feel really bad that you guys are basically doing everything.
That I can't even really contribute anything.
Yoongi does the cooking and cleaning and he doesn't allow me to do anything.
You guys also do the cooking.
I just feel so.
*frustrated sigh*

He gently caresses your cheek with his thumb.

Jimin: I know.
I understand.
Don't worry.
Everything will be fine.

Stella: Mhm...

Jimin leans in a little.
You freeze a little.

Stella: What are you doing?
Are you teasing me again?

Jimin: Is it working?

You blush.

Jimin: Oh. It is.
Wow. She's looking pretty cute.

Stella: *shy smile*

Jimin: Wow. Even smiling.
Adorable.
Mission complete.

You chuckle and playfully push him away.

Stella: Flirt.

Jimin chuckles as you both look at each other.

Stella: ...

Jimin: Anyways.

Stella: Mhm?

Jimin: Could you wait here for a bit?

You nod and Jimin hurries into one of the shops.
Not long after he comes back.
You turn around to face him making your ponytail sway.
He smiles and you see he's holding a take away coffee cup and a small white paper bag that's sealed.

You raise an eyebrow a little confused.
He stops infront of you.

Jimin: You said you needed some coffee which I'm sure you were just saying so I wouldn't question you any further.

Stella: Correct.

Jimin: But I'm sure you actually want some right now.

Stella: Right again.

He hands you the take away coffee cup containing the coffee.

Jimin: Just the way you like it.

You take it.

Jimin: I also got you this.

He says holding up the sealed paper bag.

Stella: What's that?

Jimin: It's...

He tears open the top part of the sealed paper bag and opens it before showing it to you as you peer into the bag.

Stella: O.o

Jimin: A vanilla muffin.
I know you like vanilla a lot.
I mean you literally smell like it all the time too.
I saw this muffin and it was the only vanilla muffin left.
I thought you could use it and that coffee and this muffin would go amazingly together and so I bought it for you.
So here.

You feel your heart fluttering a little at his words.
You reach in and take the muffin out.
You close your eyes sniffing it as your nose twitches enjoying the smell.
Jimin smiles.
You take a bite.

Stella: Mhm*chewing and talking while holding hand that's holding muffin infront of mouth*
Delicious.

Jimin smiles.
You swallow and hold the muffin out to him.
He raises an eyebrow.

Stella: You should take some.

Jimin: What? No.
It's fine.
You can have it.
I got it for you anyways.

Stella: I know but I wanna share.
I'm sure you're a little hungry.
Please.

You stare at him trying to get him to listen and he sighs chuckling.

Jimin: Fine.
I can't say no to that face.

He lifts up his left hand and puts it on the back of your right hand that's holding the muffin.

Stella: W-wait.

Jimin: Mhm?

Stella: Let me turn it around.
You don't have to bite where I did.

Jimin smiles.

Jimin: I don't mind.

He holds your hand in place gently squeezing it as his palm feels warm against the back of your hand.
He closes his eyes a little and takes a bite closing his eyes fully.
You watch as he takes the bite.
He pulls away chewing as he opens his eyes.

Jimin: It tastes very nice.
That's good.
It would've been terrible if the last vanilla muffin didn't taste good.

He says swallowing the last bit he chewed.

Stella: *staring*

Jimin: What is it?

Stella: You have some of the crumbs on your lips.

Jimin: Oh*quickly wipes his mouth with the back of his right hand that's holding the empty paper bag*
There.

You shake your head and bend down to your left putting the takeaway coffee cup down on the pavement.
You put the muffin in your mouth.
You move closer to Jimin and lift up your left hand and right hand.
You place your four fingers of your left hand on his right cheek as your right hand is holding the left side of his jaw.
He drops the empty paper bag but you don't notice.
You gently lift up his chin a little and then wipe his lips with your left thumb.
He parts his lips a little as you continue.

Stella: There...*saying it with muffin still in mouth and finishing up wiping his lips clean before taking muffin out*
*looks at him*
I'm done-

Jimin: ...
*staring*

Stella: *flustered and immediately backs away*

Jimin: *licks his lips clean*

Stella: Uh...I...

Jimin: Are there any more crumbs left?
You can check again.
I wanna make sure they're all gone.

Stella: They're all gone.
*stuffs the rest of the muffin in my mouth*

You immediately bend down picking up the two bags you were carrying.
You carry them both in your right hand as they're light and you pick up your coffee with your left.

Stella: Le go!*trying to say "Let's go!" with my mouth full of the muffin*

You quickly hurry away and Jimin watches amused as he smiles and his eyes smile.
He shakes his head bending down to pick up the empty paper bag that the muffin was in.
He crumbles it up and stuffs it in his pocket.
He picks up the other grocery bags and follows you.

Stella!!!! What the hell was that?

Are you out of your mind?!

You are not like that!!!!

You don't just wipe someone's mouth like that!!!!

What the hell!?

You shake your head wildly making your long,wavy ponytail shake as well while you're chewing and swallowing the muffin.
Jimin continues to smile as he catches up to you.

Jimin: So-

Stella: *jumps almost dropping the coffee and almost chokes on the pieces of muffin I still need to swallow and that quite big piece I still need to chew*
*hard swallow*

Jimin blinks.

Jimin: Are you okay?

You nod flustered trying not to think about what you just did.

Jimin: I don't think so...
Are you flustered that you just touched me?
Mhm?
You realize that you can do it again,right?

You blush.

Stella: Well I won't.

Jimin: Whatever you say.
Just know you're more than welcome to do it whenever,wherever and however you want...

D-does he mean wherever as in if he's in the kitchen then I can touch him or does he mean I can touch any part of him or does he mean both?!

Stella: *red face*

Why am I even thinking about it?!

What's happening to my mind?!;_;

You continue to blush and walk home.

-Time skip-

We walk through the apartment door and head to the kitchen and somehow I had managed to calm myself down and luckily Jimin didn't tease me any further.

-In the kitchen-

And then I see something that I have never seen before as Jimin and I enter the kitchen with the 2 bags full of groceries that you were carrying earlier.
I see the island pilled high with food from hamburgers to tacos and everything.
Not literally of course.
Jungkook's sitting in one of the adjustable chairs as he's busy eating almost everything.

How can he fit 2 burgers in his mouth at the same time? O.O

He's like a human vacuum!

I tear my eyes away and see Yoongi cooking.
He is doing things like flipping pancakes high into the air.

I have no idea how he does it. If I ever attempt it...the pancake would have been stuck to the ceiling or landed on my face instead of the pan. And I'd probably get dubbed Miss pancake face or
something @_@

Yoongi: Kook,eat slower.
I don't want you to choke.
I can hear you swallowing and everything.
Please eat slower.

Jungkook: I'll try Yoongi hyung.
The food is just so delicious^^

Yoongi smiles as he continues working on the food. Both not seeing you and Jimin.

Yoongi: I'm happy you like it.
Now where did I put the spatula?

He looks and then turns to see you and Jimin.
He smiles warmly.

Yoongi: Oh! Hey,Stella and Jimin:)
Did you two get everything?

You lift up the bags and nod with a smile.

Stella: Yes,we did.
Here's two of the bags.
Jimin has the others.

He walks over taking the bags from your hands and Jimin walks out from behind you walking over to the island and sets the grocery bags down that he carried.

Yoongi: Great.
I'm almost done cooking everything.

He says turning around to head to the island setting down the bags.

Stella: I have no idea how you can cook so much and not get tired (@ @)
It almost seems like for every time you make 4 burgers then 3 get eaten by Kook.

Yoongi: Yep,Kook has a big appetite.
And I love cooking so I really don't mind.
Also being head chef can be hectic so I learned to not get so easily tired.
I'm constantly on my feet at work so I had to learn to adapt...
If you do something long enough then it'll get easier.

Stella: Yah,but I'll leave you to it.

You head to the fridge and take the glass containing the smoothie you made from your favourite nuts and seeds.
Jimin exits the kitchen.

Stella: I'll be in the livingroom if you need me.

You say closing the fridge door and Yoongi nods.
You walk out drinking your smoothie.
After everything is done including you and Jimin showering and changing clothes.
Separately of course.
Don't be dirty minded,reader:3
Don't think take me seriously when I say don't be dirty minded XD.
Afer everything you and Jungkook get into Hoseok's car.

Jimin takes his motorcycle as Taehyung drives with Namjoon and Yoongi takes his own car.
You all drive to the park to meet Jen and Hansol.
Jin is MIA.
You all arrive at the park.

Hoseok: Aish.

You look at him through the rear view mirror.

Stella: What happened? Is something wrong?

Hoseok: Actually.
I just got a message from the company saying that they need me to come in.
I'm really sorry but could you tell your friends that I apologize and that I'll definitely meet them next time when the occasion arises but I can't this time.

You nod.

Stella: It's really fine.
You go and do your work.

Hoseok: Thanks.

You nod getting out and close the door.
He drives away and Namjoon raises an eyebrow as he gets out of his car.

Stella: He said the company called him so unfortunately yah.

Namjoon just nods.
Despite his lack of verbal response you find yourself smiling a little looking at him as he's already broken eye contact with you and is looking at the park.
You look at Yoongi as he's carrying the big basket of food he made.

Stella: Hey,do you want some help?
I could help.

Yoongi smiles.

Yoongi: It's not necessary but thanks*chin dimple and gummy smile*

You nod with a smile.

Jungkook: Come on! Let's go and meet Miss Jen and Mr Hansol so we can eat the delicious food before everything gets cold!^^

Jimin smiles and ruffles his hair.

Jimin: Yah,let's go.

You nod and all of you head into the park to meet Hansol and Jen.
You guys walk and almost immediately spot them.
You run over as the guys trail behind you.

Stella: Hi,guys:)

Hansol: Hi:)

Jen: Hi:)

You wrap your arms around Jen and Hansol giving them one big hug.
Hansol smiles brightly as the three of you hug.

Jimin: Just look at how he's hugging her.
And that smile*scoff*
He knows what he is doing and that he ruined my time with Stella and he knows it.
He's even smiling so much that I see he has a right dimple just like me!
Why does he have to have it?!
I don't want any similarities with him!;_;

Jen: Welcome,everyone.
I hope that we will all have a great time and get along.

Yoongi: I'm sure we will:)

Hansol smiles.

Hansol: It's really nice to officially meet you guys...
But I see that 2 of the guys aren't here.
The purple haired one and the other one we haven't gotten to meet yet.

Stella: Yah.
Jin is the purple haired one and we don't know where Jin is and Hoseok dropped me and Jungkook. He had to go because he got a message from his work that they need his help.
He said I should tell you two that he apologizes and hopes to meet you two soon.

Hansol: Wow. It's fine.
Hoseok sounds like a really busy person if we missed the last time as well.
Work is important and there's always next time.

Stella: Yah.
You could say that.
And I agree yep.

Jin: Hey,guys😁

You all look and spot Jin in a white shirt,tie,black pants and black shoes as he approaches while smiling and flashing his smile and dimple.

Jin: Sorry for being late...
The photo shoot took a lot longer than I thought it would.

Stella: It's fine.

Everyone introduces themselves and the picnic goes better than I expected.
Everyone has a great time eating and just having fun.
Especially Kook.
He ate most of the food lol.
We all enjoy our time...
Yoongi sitting and relaxing in the warmth of the sun...
Jimin doing dumbell reps with no dumbells but I cheer him on regardless.
Jin being Jin and using his favourite fan.
Namjoon reading his book and Tae sitting next to him and reading with him.
Jungkook being cute while Hansol seems like he'll faint from cuteness and Jen laughing because of Hansol's reaction.
The day is so filled with laughter and fun that it passes by in a blur...

-Later that day in an empty lot-

It's night time as Hoseok enters the empty lot quietly yet confidently.
He looks around and the corners of his lips turn up in a smile.
It seems like he has found the two thugs...
Both of them are tired and don't even notice his presence because they're wasted from drinking and doing drugs.
He crosses his arms and looks them over for a second before making his presence known.

Hoseok: You two look like you drank too much...

The two thugs jump up and stumble a bit at the sound of his voice...
One looks surprised while the other looks angry.

Bad guy 2: Who are you and what are you doing here?!

Hoseok: Is that how you welcome guests?
Not even a cup of tea?
Maybe some mint tea?

Bad guy 2: I'll give you a cup of FUCK OFF!!!

Hoseok: Enough chitchat.
You two remember the guy you fought?
The guy with the ginger hair.
The one Mr. Orange over there tried to shoot?
Well...
I'm his older brother.
And I'm here to take you two to where you belong.
JAIL.

They glare at him.

Hoseok: Now this could go one of two ways.
The two of you take the easy route and just come with me willingly.
Or the hard yet fun route...
Where you two arrive at jail with lots of bruises:)
Maybe even a broken bone or two.
I prefer the latter,but it's up to you guys:)

Bad guy 2: I prefer the get hell out of here before I put a bullet in that head of yours one.

Hoseok: You talk pretty big for such an obviously malnourished guy-

Bad guy 2: NOW!!!

The two thugs charge at Hoseok!!!
Hoseok stands calmly.

Hoseok: Seems like you two made your choice...
No backing out now.

He gets into a fighting stance narrowing his grey eyes.

Hoseok: Say goodnight!!! You fuckers!!!!

He charges at them.
