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💜

You're sitting on the cold cement floor of the room you were strictly forbidden from entering as Namjoon glares down at you waiting for your explanation as to why you're in the room in the first place. Lighting strikes outside and thunder roars loudly.
The rain and wind hitting the walls so hard that it feels like the whole building is shaking.
A screw jammed in your knee and a small puddle of your blood painted the floor red.

Stella: I-I-I-I-

He lets out a bitter laugh and smiles.
You stare at him confused.

D-did I say something funny?

Stella: W-what?

He glares at you.

Namjoon: You're trying to cook up some lie to tell me...

You stay silent not knowing what to say.
Your silence seems to annoy him even more.

Namjoon: Cat got your tongue?!

Stella: I-I was-

Namjoon: Not another word!

He says barely staying calm.
Trying to not raise his voice even more.
You stay quiet.
Your heart thumps in your chest.

Namjoon: You really don't learn,do you?!
You go around and poke your nose in where it doesn't belong!
You can't even follow three simple rules!!!!

Just then Yoongi rushes in but you two don't notice.

Namjoon: You-

Yoongi: Namjoon?

You move your body carefully positioning your injured knee on its side and look a little behind you to the side as both of you see him.

Y-yoongi? What's he doing here?

You look at him shocked shaking a little.
Namjoon gives him a questioning look.

Yoongi: I'm here because I heard you yell...
Are you okay? Did something happen?

Namjoon: Yes...

He nods his head in my direction...
Yoongi follows his gaze.

Yoongi: What-

His russet brown eyes widen as he sees me.

Yoongi: OMG!!!! Stella!!!

He immediately rushes over to me and kneels with a concerned expression.

Yoongi: Stella...you're bleeding...

Namjoon's chestnut brown eyes widen slightly as he sees your injury. He was so clouded by anger and asking you why you're here that he didn't realize before.

Yoongi: We need to get it cleaned up immediately before it gets infected.
I'm going to carry you...okay?

Before I can get a word out...
He turns around.

Yoongi: Get on my back.

Slowly and hesitantly I get on his back...
Feeling Namjoon's eyes watching my every move...
I put my arms around Yoongi's neck to secure myself.
He stands up carefully and makes sure that I'm comfortable.
Just as we're about to leave...

Namjoon: The first aid kit is in the bathroom cabinet...

I look at him...but he has his back turned towards us...
Obviously what I did upset him.
Yoongi just says okay and off we go.
He opens and closes my bedroom door walking over to my bed before putting me on it.
He goes to the bathroom to get the first aid kit and comes back a few seconds later.
He takes a long hard look at my knee,the blood,the screw sticking out and then back at me...

I know what he must be thinking.

Stella: Yoongi...I---

Yoongi: Don't...

He takes out everything he needs from the first aid kit.
Avoiding my gaze as I feel my heart sinking.
I know what I did was wrong and I do feel guilty.

Stella: Don't what?

Yoongi: Don't say sorry...

How did he know...

He looks at my knee like he's thinking...

Yoongi: We need to get this cleaned immediately...

Stella: Yoongi...

He doesn't say anything or even look at you as he continues to look at your injury.

Stella: Are you angry with me...?

I look at my hands in my lap while asking the question in a low voice...
My hair falls in my face...

Of course he'd be angry...I broke the rules and my promise to him...

Probably even his trust...

How can I expect him not to be angry?

His eyes widen and you feel him looking at your sad expression...

Stella: It's okay if you're angry...
What I did was wrong.
I know that.
I don't expect any pity or "It's not your fault" or whatever.
I was wrong.
I should've listened to you...
I've caused unnecessary trouble and broke my promise to you...
You have every right to be angry...
Namjoon too.
You all invited me with open arms to stay here when I needed help.
All you asked in return was for me to follow 3 rules and I didn't do that.
I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.
You may go...
I'll clean my wound.
Thanks for the help*sad smile*

I blink back tears hoping he wouldn't see it behind my hair.
I guess I lost my hair tie but honestly it doesn't matter.

Yoongi: Hey...

He says in a soft and gentle voice.
And it seems I just can't hide how I feel without him seeing it.
He puts his hand under my chin...
Lifting it up so I'd meet his gaze tucking my untied hair behind my ears.
He sighs.

Yoongi: I'm not angry at you,okay...?

Stella: But it seems like you didn't even want to talk to me...
You didn't even look at me...
You've never done this with me...
So of course I'd think you're angry with me...

Yoongi: I'm not angry...
I'm just upset that you didn't listen...
But mostly...
I'm upset that you not listening led to you getting hurt...
You know you should really stop endangering yourself.
Do you know how nerve wrecking it is to see you hurt?
How scared I was when I couldn't find you when you got attacked?

He lets out a shuddering breath.

Yoongi: How difficult it was to see you being shot right infront of me...
Thinking you'd die infront of me...
And I couldn't do anything aside from holding you and trying to stop the bleeding...?
Hoping that you'd get to the hospital in time...
All of it made me so scared.
I couldn't keep myself together.
I didn't even want to eat and drink because I was too worried.
I couldn't even sleep properly of it too.

He says trying to keep his expression unreadable,but you can see he's having a hard time.

Stella: I...Yoongi...I...
I'm sorry...I didn't mean for all that to happen...

Yoongi tilts his head and gives you a teeny tiny glare as some of his ginger hair falls over his eyes.

(//•///•//) O...M...G...

Stella: Why are you looking at me like that?!

You ask slightly panicked and shy.

Yoongi: Because you got hurt and you said sorry when I told you not to.
You apologize for almost everything...

Stella: I'm so----
I mean I won't do it again.
Now stop looking at me like that T■T

You look at your hands in your lap trying to hide the light pink blush on your cheeks.
Some of your long hair falls over and around over your shoulders...
Covering your face like a curtain.
He smiles watching you.

Yoongi: Gosh...she looks so beautiful with her long dark brown wavy hair loose with those red and blonde strands...
And the moonlight...
...It just accentuates how beautiful she really is...
So beautiful...

Stella: W...what?!*completely and utterly bamboozled*

Yoongi: What...did I say that out loud?
Quick! Say something quickly!!! But remember Jimin's advice:
Be calm and be cool as an ice cube.
Do not melt into a puddle.

He clears his throat.

Yoongi: I was just thinking out loud about what a beautiful night it is.
How beautiful the moon looks.

He says gesturing to your window.

You look out the window and smile as the moon shines brightly in the sky. The rain drops tapping against the window and rolling down as lighting strikes in the air almost looking like they're dancing.

Stella: Wow! It's really beautiful...

Yoongi: Yes...it really is.

You look at him.

Stella: You know...
When you said "So beautiful..." I thought you were talking about me.

His eyes widen.

Stella: But then you said you were talking about the night and not me.
How silly,right?*chuckle*

Yoongi: Well...I...
Actually I...
Well...you...
Uhm...

You look at him confused.

Stella: I...don't really understand...

He looks away and then glances at you.
Your chocolate brown eyes widen.

Stella: Were you actually talking about me?!

You ask completely taken off guard.
He nods.

Stella: Wow...
I didn't expect that...
I was just joking...

Yoongi: I shouldn't have done it...
There are different reasons why...
But all I'm thinking about is...what if she doesn't like me calling her beautiful? Some people don't like compliments especially from non family members...
Uhm...hey...sorry if I made you uncomfortable.

Stella: Uncomfortable?
Since when does a compliment make someone uncomfortable?
You didn't and will never ever make me feel uncomfortable in any way.

Nervous yes...but not uncomfortable.

He smiles.

Stella: So thank you for the compliment.
And also you apologize a lot too!:)
You keep thinking that if you say or do this or that...
That I'm uncomfortable...
Well...right now I'm telling you to get it in your head...
That I don't feel any discomfort around you.
So stop thinking that I do...
I mean...

You flail your arms.

Stella: Does my body language or anything ever show any hint of uncomfortableness around you?!

His russet brown eyes widen as you continue flailing your arms and pout as you try to make a point. He laughs and puts his hands over his mouth. His shoulders shaking.

Stella: I still asked you a question! >:(

He laughs even more and you smile putting your arms down.

Yoongi: I don't think you've ever shown any hints of feeling uncomfortable around me.

Stella: Then act like it!
And that think should be a know.
I'm me and I know me.
I know I've never shown any hints of uncomfortableness around you and never ever will because why would I ever display something I don't feel?
Huh?
Would it make sense if I acted uncomfortable when I wasn't?

Yoongi: ...
*shaking his head looking down before looking at you*

Stella: Stop overthinking every little thing you do with me.
If you want to do something then do it!
I mean...
Can't you see that I trust you?
You saved me and I'm literally trusting you with my safety while living here.
If I wasn't comfortable with you and didn't trust you then I would've gone long ago.
I mean what woman lets a guy she practically doesn't know undress her and help her get dressed?!

Yoongi: I...understand...*blushing*
I just don't want to overstep my boundaries with you that's all...
People can easily hide how they feel.
So I shouldn't just assume you'd be fine with me doing/saying just anything.
Because maybe I do or say something and it makes you uncomfortable but then you decide not to say anything because you don't want to hurt me or something...
I just don't want you to think that I think you owe me to just take whatever I do.
That you owe me and so you think you should just stay quiet even if something I do/say doesn't align with your feelings.

Stella: That's very sweet of you...
And since we're being honest...
I feel the need to tell you...
That Jungkook looks like a bunny to me...
And you look like a cat to me.
That's one of the reasons why I call you ginger cat and cute ginger cat.
The ginger part is obviously because of your hair*smile*

He blinks not saying a word.

Stella: Yoongi?

Yoongi: ..............................
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!

He laughs and holds his stomach.
His eyes squeezed shut.

Stella: What? I'm just being honest*giggle*

He shakes his head and smiles.

Yoongi: People have compared Kook to a bunny before...
But that's not why I'm laughing...
I'm laughing because I've never in my life thought that I'd get told that I look like a cat*chuckle*
I thought you just wanted to come up with a nickname for me.
I didn't think it had to do with me looking like a cat*laugh*

Stella: Well you do look like cat.
You have feline like features.
Especially your eyes.
The shape.
They're beautiful...

Yoongi: ...

Stella: And also cats are very smart.
One of the reasons you already probably know why I added the word ginger into your nickname is because you love ginger.
The reason you don't know of why I call you ginger cat is because...
They're also my favorite animal.
In the second spot are chipmunks and squirrels.
I really can't choose between them*chuckle*
Anyways back to cats.
I love them and you and them have those two things in common.
To put it simply if you haven't gotten it yet...
I like cats.
They're my most favourite animal and I find them adorable.
I like you.
You're my favorite person here and I find you adorable too*looking at him with a smile*
Don't tell Jimin*chuckle*

Yoongi blushes.

Yoongi: I need to stop doing this.
Why do I blush so easily?
She didn't mean she likes me romantically.
I'll keep all that in mind when I see cats,chipmunks and squirrels again*shy chuckle*
Cats are also my favorite animal.
And Hoseok's favorite animal is squirrels.
He also loves hamsters and fish.
Also I won't tell Jimin so don't worry.
I like how honest you are.
You know...
My motto is "Honesty is the best policy".

But are all of them being honest?
There are things that will be revealed.

Stella: Yah...yah:)

With everything going on and them saying they can't just tell me some stuff...I have a feeling that they don't really follow this motto...

Yoongi: Anyways I'm going to clean your wound and bandage it.
We've been talking so much that I haven't even started yet taking care of your wound...
Also you're going to sit still and listen,okay?

Stella: *mocking salute*
Yes,sir:)

Yoongi: *chuckle*

You hear the door opening.

Stella: Come in---

Jimin: HOLY SHÍT!!!!!

You see Jimin looking at you with big eyes.
And then Hoseok runs in after him looking half asleep and slightly annoyed.

Hoseok: Jimin,why did you drag me here? It's too early...and stop swearing...

Jimin: Why are you bleeding?!?!?!?!

Hoseok: What are you talking----

Jimin's eyes widen as he sees your injury and you immediately cover it with your hands as you remember how he reacted and what he said when you were bleeding while you two were on a walk the day after you came back from the hospital.

Hoseok: Stella!!!!
Your knee!!!

Jimin's expression turns serious.

Jimin: Yoongi,what happened to her?
Why is she...*gulp*
Why is she bleeding?

Yoongi carefully works on your injury as you're still trying to hide it from Jimin's eyes.

Yoongi: She broke the 3 rules...
And Namjoon got angry...

Jimin's expression twists in anger.

Jimin: So...you're saying that NAMJOON did this to her?!?!
I'm going to have a talk with him.
He thinks he can do whatever he wants just because he is the----

Hoseok: Jimin,calm down!!!

He leans closer.

Hoseok: Think before you say or do anything.

He says in a whisper.
All the others except Namjoon come into your room due to all the commotion.

Hoseok: Namjoon wouldn't do something like this.

Jimin turns around facing him with his back towards you and Yoongi.

Jimin: Of course you'd side with him!!!!
You've known him longer and he can't do anything wrong,right?!
He's the most perfect person out there!?
As if!
He fucking almost punched me 2 times in less than a month!
If you didn't intervene both times then I'm sure he would've gone through with hitting me!
If he can do what he did to me in the past and be a jerk to Stella and not even feel guilty then he's capable of anything!!!!
He's nothing more than a selfish bastard----

And before Jimin can say anything else...

*SLAP*

Hoseok slaps Jimin across the face...causing Jimin to fall.
All of you stare in surprise...

Hoseok has always teased Jimin in a playful way...but he's never slapped him or done anything to really hurt him...

Hoseok looks at Jimin...his anger getting replaced by a surprised yet guilty expression...
He looks at you not saying a word and looks at the others.
All of you looking at him surprised as Jungkook cries.
Jimin touches his bleeding lip still in shock.
He looks at his blood on his hand with a hurt expression.
At this moment you don't see the Jimin you know...
You see a boy who got hurt from someone he cared about most...
Someone he never expected would do this to him...

Hoseok: Jimin...

Jimin doesn't respond...
He continues staring at his blood on his hand.
Hoseok slowly walks towards Jimin.

Hoseok: Jimin...I'm sorry...

He says hanging his head low in shame.
Jimin doesn't respond.

Hoseok: Jimin...please...please...
Just say something...anything...

Jimin: ...

Hoseok: You can hit me back...
You can kick me too...
Anything you want...
I won't stop you...I won't say anything...
But please don't ignore me...*near tears*

Jimin: ...

Hoseok: Jimin...look here.

He gives a sad smile.

*SLAP*

Hoseok: Jimin...look here...

*SLAP*

He continues to slap himself repeatedly as Jungkook's crying intensifies.

*SLAP*
*SLAP*
*SLAP*
*SLAP*
*SLAP*
*SLAP*

Jin: HOSEOK!!!! Please stop!!!! This won't solve anything!!!!

Hoseok: I won't stop until Jimin forgives me...or at least looks at me...

You all look at Hoseok saying it while rubbing his very red cheek...
Both his cheeks are red and look swollen.
So red it blends in with his red hair.
You're all so distracted by all of it...not knowing what to do...
That none of you realize that Namjoon has been watching everything go down outside the door as it's slightly ajar.

Hoseok: Jiminah...look at me...*voice cracks*

Jimin: ......................

Hoseok closes his eyes and lets out a breath.

*SLAP*
*SLAP*

He continues slapping himself.

Yoongi: PLEASE STOP!!!!!

He hangs his head low.

Yoongi: Please stop...

After hearing his pleading...Hoseok stops...
Hoseok kneels taking Jimin's hand in his to help him up.

Hoseok: Please...

Jimin snaps out of it.
His face twisting in anger as he sees him.

Hoseok: I---

Before Hoseok could say anything else...

*THUD*

Jimin shoves Hoseok away causing Hoseok to fall.
Hoseok sits motionless on the floor...

Jin: STOP IT!!!!

Hoseok lifts his head up a bit.

Hoseok: It's okay,Jin...
I deserved it...

Jimin gets up looking down at Hoseok as Hoseok looks up at him...

Jimin: DON'T.
FUCKING.
TOUCH.
ME!!!!
You're just like THEM!!!
JUST LIKE HIM!!!
JUST BECAUSE OF HIM!!! YOU SLAPPED ME!!!
If your friendship with him is so important then why are the two of us still friends anyways?!
I HATE YOU!!! Stay away from me!!!

He walks over to Jin and Jungkook standing next to each other.
Jungkook's still crying and sniffling.

Jungkook: H..hyung...*sob*

Jimin looks at him with a smile.

Jimin: Kook?
Why are you crying?
I'm fine...okay?
Don't cry...

He turns to Jin.

Jimin: Look after Kook for me will you?
I...

Jin nods.

Jin: Take your time...

Jimin walks out and leaves the door ajar.

Jin: Come on,Kook...
Don't cry...everything will be fine...

Yoongi: That shove...and you slapping yourself...looked like it really hurt...

Hoseok: I'm okay...
But I don't think you should be asking me that question...

Jin: You're right...

Hoseok looks over his shoulder at him and then turns fully as all of us look at him.

Jin: Yoongi should be asking that to Jimin...not you!!!
I can't believe that you raised your hand against him!
What a wonderful friend you are...

Hoseok remains silent.

Jin: You're not going to say anything?!

Yoongi: Jin...

Jin: No...Yoongi...
Jimin is our friend and we can talk things out...
Hoseok,I know you're just trying to do your job...
But there are different ways you can get the results you want without hurting anyone...
With your and Jimin's history...
I never thought that you'd do this to him...

Jungkook's crying intensifies and Hoseok looks at him.

Hoseok: Kook?

He walks closer and looks at the floor.

Hoseok: Kook...I'm sorry for...
Everything will be fine...come here...

He extends his arm startling Jungkook. Jungkook hides behind Jin and sniffles.

Jin: Hoseok...I think it'd be better if you just don't try...

Hoseok nods.

Hoseok: I'll be going then...

Hoseok exits my room...closing the door a bit behind him...

-Flashback to 10 minutes ago-

Namjoon was standing in the hall waiting outside the door deep in thought.

Namjoon: All of this could easily have been avoided...

The door swung open and Jimin bumped into him.
Jimin glared.

Jimin: What?! What are you looking at?!

He whisper yelled before walking away immediately as Namjoon stood silent.

-End of flashback-

Namjoon's still standing outside as he waits busy thinking.

Namjoon: None of this would've happened if she just listened.
But of course she won't listen...
All human beings have a curious nature of some sorts I guess...

The slightly ajar door swings open and he looks up to see Hoseok coming out.
Hoseok's cloud grey eyes widen as he sees Namjoon.

Hoseok: SHIT!!!
Did he hear everything?!
What if he saw everything too?!
Maybe he didn't see or hear anything...
Even if he doesn't know about what happened...I should just play it off...
I did something wrong...not to just any person...but to Jimin...
I need to get myself together and put on an act...so Namjoon doesn't suspect anything...
The sooner I accomplish this...
The sooner I can rectify my mistake with Jimin...
Or at least try to...

Namjoon: ...
Hoseok?
Hoseok!

Hoseok: Yah?

Namjoon: Are you okay?
You look a bit tired and stressed...

Hoseok gives his best fake smile and nods.

Hoseok: I'm okay...
I'm a bit more tired and stressed these days...
It's because of the deal I told you all about.
All of us are really working hard...
Trying to get everything perfect for the anime to be released.
I'm just overworked...
Don't worry about me...okay?
You should go sleep...
We all have to get up in a few hours so it's best to get enough sleep.
I'll just get a glass of water and I'll go to bed.
Goodnight,Namjoon:)

Namjoon: I'm not letting you get away so easily,Hoseok.

Namjoon grabs Hoseok's arm.

Namjoon: You know you can't lie to me...
I heard and saw everything...
Forget about the glass of water you were supposedly going to get....
And come with me.

-In Namjoon's room-

Namjoon: Are you just going to keep standing by the door?
Come in,Hoseok.

Hoseok slowly walks over and stands next to Namjoon's bed.

Namjoon: Sit down...

Hoseok: What...?

Namjoon: I told you to sit down.

Hoseok: He's probably going to talk about what he heard and saw.
If he does I really hope he avoids a specific question.
I really do.
Okay...

He silently sits down on the bed and looks at Namjoon.

Namjoon: Just stay here...I'll be right back.

He walks out the door and closes it behind him as Hoseok sits alone waiting for him to come back.
Not long after the door swings open and Namjoon enters closing the door as he makes his way over to Hoseok.

Namjoon: Okay...I'm back.

Hoseok looks at his hand.
His eyes widen.

Hoseok: Why do you have a burger in your hand?

Namjoon: It's a frozen burger...
One of Kook's.
It's the first frozen thing from the freezer that I grabbed.

Hoseok: Yah...I can see that...
But why do you have it?

Namjoon: For your face...
You really did a number on yourself.
Your face is all red and swollen.
We need to fix that...
Otherwise your boss and colleagues will think you got into a fight or something.
So sit still...okay?

Hoseok: No...no...
I can't allow you to do that...

Namjoon crosses his arms and leans back a bit with a questioning look.

Namjoon: And why is that?
Is it because I'm the-
Demon Prince?
I know I'll always get treated differently because of my status...
But I'm happy when I don't...

He sighs.

Namjoon: You're my friend,Hoseok...
I am the Demon Prince...
I have everything that anyone would desire...
But I don't care...
Just because I'm royalty...don't treat me differently.
We're friends...okay?
Just because I'm royalty that doesn't make you or anyone lesser than me.
Status is just status...
But real friends are more valuable.
I like how all of you treat me like a normal person despite knowing my status.
So please don't change the way you act around me.
We've known each other for so many years.
Decades and I want us to be comfortable.
Despite the fact that Jimin is how he is...
I appreciate him not putting up a front.
That he makes it known that he doesn't like me.
I appreciate honesty.
All of you have different qualities...
Which is good.
I'm happy that I met you all and that you...
Min Hoseok are my second in command.
I know and I can see it in your eyes that you regret slapping Jimin.

Hoseok looks at the floor.

Namjoon: You want to go and apologize immediately...
But you're also scared of what would happen when you do...
You're scared you ruined your friendship with him,right?

Hoseok lifts his head and nods slowly with a sad expression.

Namjoon: You two have a good friendship.
You were trying to defend me...
You were just trying to keep peace between me and him...
As you always try to do...
You were trying to keep him from causing more trouble for himself...
But when you were trying to achieve that...
You made a mistake.
The way he looked at you when you slapped him...
It really hurt him...
Especially since you were his first friend and you are the reason that we met him and he came into our group.
Because of that...I'm sure it hurt a lot more when you slapped him.
You made a mistake...
That's okay...
Everyone makes mistakes...
No one's perfect.
The important thing is to learn from those mistakes.
And I know that you instantly felt regret and guilt when you slapped him.
And he feels sad and betrayed...

Hoseok: I feel terrible...
He said that he hates me...
I know I hurt him badly...
I regret it so much...
But everything he said...
Especially comparing me to THEM.
It really stung...
At least Namjoon's not questioning me on that part.

Namjoon: He doesn't hate you...
He only said those things out of shock.
He's very reactive...
He hates me.
You...everyone can see it...
Just don't hurt yourself like that again.

A sad smile spreads across Hoseok's face.

Hoseok: That's very funny coming from you...

Namjoon: Yah...well...
We're not here to talk about me...
So just give him some space...
You know how Jimin is...
You know him longer than any of us...
Just give him time to cool off and then go talk.
For now we need to focus on fixing what you've done to yourself.

Namjoon takes care of Hoseok while Yoongi takes care of you in your room.
After a while most of you go to sleep...

-Somewhere away from the apartment-

Jimin's standing in the middle of the road as the stars shine brightly. The lights lighting the roads. The sky a light orange as it's almost sunrise.

Jimin: No one's around right now so...

He crouches down looking up.

Jimin: One...
Two...
THREE!!!!

He leaps into the air and lands on the sidewalk of an overhead bridge that's a few feet away.
Definitely more than 5 feet away and above 8 feet in the air.
He lets out a sigh before looking behind him at the buildings and road.
He silently walks over to the railing and his expression turns sad.
After a few seconds he begins to cry.
Tears rolling down his cheeks.
Splashing onto the metal railing and his shirt.

Jimin: Hoseok...k...
H...seok...

He sobs uncontrollably.

Unknown: Jimin..............................

His eyes widen.
He hears someone calling him.
He slowly turns around.
Tightly holding the railing.

Jimin: Who...who's there?

He looks around but sees the street is completely empty...no one insight...
He tries asking who's calling him,but deep inside he feels scared of the answer.
He tries to hide his fear while he feels each hair on his body standing up.
His expression turns angry as he scans the street.

Jimin: Come out!!!
Before I drag you in front of me.

His eyes widen.
He hears laughter.

Unknown: As you wish...

A guy dressed in a school uniform appears with a smile on his face. Above the age of 13 but definitely younger than 18.

Unknown: Hello,pipsqueak*evil smirk*
Long time no see:)

Jimin stares at him in disbelief.

Jimin: You...
Hanuel...
Why are you here?

He asks a bit scared.
Hanuel continues smiling.

Hanuel: Why?
Didn't you miss me?
I just wanted to catch up*evil smile*
And have fun like old times:)

Jimin's eyes widen in fear.

Hanuel: I haven't seen you for too long...
I can see the fear in your eyes:)
I honestly missed it*evil chuckle*
Y

ou haven't changed one bit...except for growing a bit,gaining some muscle and the hair...
But you're still nothing but a scared little boy:)
Weak.

A waste of space.
A BURDEN.
A disgrace to your people.
Everyone will leave you...
You'll be all alone just like you were before.
Again you'll get left behind...
That's what people do when they find something better...
Your friends will leave you.
Stella will leave you*evil smile*
Just look:)

A scene forms in Jimin's mind. He sees you,Jin,Yoongi,Taehyung,Namjoon and Hoseok in the park at night aka the park that's opposite you workplace. You're smiling happily as you talk with them.

Stella: It's so beautiful out here!
Come on,guys!
We have to go meet Jen and Hansol.

You all turn around about to walk away.
Jimin sees himself running into the park wearing tattered clothes.
He blinks as he sees you all.

Stella: Let's go!:)

Jimin: Stella...
And the guys are with her too:)
Is it really them?
Stella!!!!!!

You turn around.

Stella: Wha-----

He immediately runs up and hugs you tightly.

Jimin: It's you!!!!
It's really you!!!!

Stella: ...

His smile falters as you don't say anything or even move.
He lifts his head and tries looking at your face as he continues hugging you.

Jimin: Stella?

You shove him hard and glare as he's on the ground.

Stella: Get the fuck away from me you freak!!!!

He looks at you all surprised and confused.

Jimin: But...
Stella...guys...
It's me...Jimin...

He gets up.

Jimin: Don't you recognize me?

Stella: You? Jimin?

You laugh hard.

Stella: This is so hilarious!!!!

Your laughter twists into anger.

Stella: My Jiminie! My chick would never let himself turn out like this!
He's gone overseas for a few months.
Nice try you smelly,dirty,homeless,
copycat,scamming freak!

Jimin: But...I'm Jimin...
You love butterflies and Namjoon is always a jerk to you.
My nicknames for you are lioness and princess.
I always tease you.
You get so shy when I do.

Your eyes widen.

Stella: It's really you!?

He nods and extends his hand to you,but Yoongi blocks his way and glares at him.

Yoongi: Back the hell away!!!!

Jimin: But...

You scrowl.

Stella: You're not my Jiminie anymore...
YOU'RE A FREAK!!!!
Weak!
A waste of space!
A BURDEN!!!!!
And a huge disgrace...

Jimin: What are you saying?
I'm Jimin*voice crack*
You...you...guys...
You all think that of me?*near tears*

Everyone: YES!!!!!

Jimin: I...

Just then Jungkook runs up confused as he looks at you,Jin,Yoongi,Taehyung,Namjoon and Hoseok.

Jungkook: Why are you all----

His eyes widen as he sees Jimin.

Jungkook: Who's that guy? Why does he look like Jimin hyung?

Jimin: It's me,Kook!!!!
It's me!!!!!

He walks closer and smiles.

Jimin: KOOK!!!!:)

Jungkook scrowls.

Jungkook: Ew!!!!!
Don't come any closer!!!!!
You're not my Jimin hyung anymore!

Hoseok: You know,Jimin...
I regret that I became your first friend years ago...
In fact I regret even being your friend...

You continue to glare at Jimin with a disgusted expression.

Stella: Let's go,guys...
We don't have time to talk to some common person...

Jimin's eyes widen in shock and disappointment as you all walk away.

Jimin: They...left me...
I...

His hands ball into fists as he fights back his tears.

Jimin: I...

Just then he hears a chain of explosions.

Jimin: Guys...?

His eyes widen as he looks up at the sky.

Jimin: GUYS!!!!?

He immediately runs where the explosions are coming from. Everything engulfed in flames. Trees,cars and buildings destroyed.
He looks at the ground and sees you,Jungkook,Namjoon,Yoongi,Jin and Taehyung all laying on the ground unmoving.

Jimin: Guys...please...wake up...
Please...

Hoseok: This is all your fault!

He yells at Jimin in anger as more explosions sound.
Jimin looks at him surprised.

Jimin: Hobi?

Hoseok: Ugh! Don't call me that.
Just look at what happened!
I should've just left you that day.
All you do is cause trouble!
They're injured because of you!!!!!

Jimin: But...

Hoseok: You're a MISTAKE!!!!
You deserved what happened in the past with Namjoon!
Anything and everything that happened and will happen is what you deserve!

Tears run down Jimin's cheeks at his hurtful words.

Jimin: Hobi...please...

The scene fades from Jimin's mind as he sees Hanuel looking at him with a smirk.
The sun slowly rising in the background.

Hanuel: That's how your future will be:)
You'll always get left behind.
Who knows...
Maybe Namjoon will get Stella*smirk*
Or maybe even Yoongi will get her instead...
She thinks she knows you...
But she doesn't...
And once she does...

He chuckles.

Hanuel: Once she does...
It'll be game over.
Point is you'll always be last.
Afterall...why would she go after you...when she can get the Demon Prince?
Enough chatting:)
Let's have some fun...shall we*chuckle*

Jimin: Please don't-----

Hanuel grabs Jimin by his neck and lifts him up.
He tightens his grip on Jimin's throat and squeezes.
Jimin grabs Hanuel's hand trying to loosen his grip.

Hanuel: Wow...
Are you trying to get away already?
You're not getting away so easily...
You know I'm getting a bit bored:)

He looks at the railing behind Jimin and smirks.

Hanuel: Have a nice landing:)

Hanuel pushes Jimin towards the railing.
Jimin is about to fall but then----
He gets grabbed and stopped.
He looks and see it's Yoongi.
Holding him tightly.

Jimin: Yoongi...I...*sniff*

Yoongi: It's alright...I'm here...
I was worried...so I came looking for you...
I saw you were trying to take something off your neck and you almost fell over the railing...
Jimin...it was Hanuel,right?

Jimin: Yah...

Yoongi: Even if you fell you would've been fine...
This bridge is pretty high up.
If any of us fell we would've been fine...
But if someone else like Stella did...

Jimin: ...

Yoongi: Hanuel can't hurt you anymore,okay?
I know that all of us have our "demons"...Hanuel...the past...
They're yours...
He isn't here.
He's in your head.
You know what you need to do to get rid of him.
You have to get over the fear you're feeling...
Remember that he isn't here...
The real Hanuel is somewhere else.

Jimin: I know all that...
But even though the real Hanuel isn't here...
I'm such a loser...
Scared of him knowing he's not here...
I know he's not here but when I...
*sigh*
It's like I forget...
And my fear takes over...

Yoongi: I know...
It's okay.
You're not a loser.
I know...all of us have our "demons"...
Especially Namjoon is battling with his own...
And we'll get rid of them.
They just come in different forms...
Self doubt.
Anything.
Don't worry...
Everything will be fine...
Let's go home...
It's already morning.

-Time skip-
-11 February,Friday-

The sun has fully risen as you're all sitting in the livingroom.
Yoongi's wearing his usual sweet smile as he looks at you sitting next to him.

Yoongi: Morning:)

Stella: Good morning.

Taehyung's reading a book. Jungkook's eating a bagel. Jin's busy on his phone. Namjoon's in his security guard uniform as he and Hoseok are talking off to the side. Hoseok's smiling and looking a bit better after what happened earlier. You raise an eyebrow as your eyes fall on Namjoon and Hoseok.

Stella: Mhm...

Yoongi: Stella?

You look at him.

Stella: Yah?
Did you say something?

Yoongi: I asked how's your knee feeling.

Stella: Oh...
It doesn't hurt so much anymore...

Yoongi: Hey...
I can see that you're here but you're also not...

Stella: Yah...
I'm sorry...
I'm just...
I'm worried about Jimin you know...
I haven't seen him yet...
...

You look at your hands on your lap.

Yoongi: It's okay...
I understand what you're saying...
Don't worry,okay?

He places his hand over yours and gives a light squeeze and you look at him.

Yoongi: I'm sure things will get better soon.

He pulls his hand away.

Yoongi: I'm also thinking about your case...
We really need to try harder to get witnesses and evidence before those thugs get released.
We shouldn't even let them think they have a chance against us.
They'll stay there. That's where they belong. Behind bars.
Where they can't hurt anyone again.

Stella: Yah...

All of you stop what you're doing as you guys look at the hall hearing footsteps.
Jimin walks in with an unreadable expression.
A smile slowly spreads across his face as he sees all of you looking at him.

Jimin: Morning,everyone...
Why are you all so quiet?
Continue chatting. I'm about to head out.

He looks at you and smiles sweetly.

Jimin: Morning,lioness,I'll see you later,okay?
Adios.

He walks away and stops next to Namjoon and Hoseok as his phone buzzes in his pocket.
As he takes out his phone Hoseok averts his eyes and looks at the carpet.
Jimin doesn't saying anything as he looks at his phone.
He doesn't even move or look at Hoseok.

Hoseok: Jimin...?

Namjoon silently looks between Jimin and Hoseok.
After a few seconds Jimin puts his phone away and looks at Hoseok who's still not looking at him.

Jimin: What?

He asks in a flat tone.

Hoseok: Can we talk...?

Jimin doesn't say anything for a few seconds as he furrows his eyebrows.
Jimin tears his eyes from Hoseok and speaks.

Jimin: I gotta go.
See you guys later...

He walks around Hoseok and the couch opening the door as he walks out and shuts it behind him with no one saying anything.

Jin: ...

Jin smiles awkwardly showing his dimples as he looks at everyone.

Jin: Well...that was awkward*nervous laugh*

His smile dissappears as no one responds.

Jin: Uhm...

Jungkook rubs the back of his neck with a sad expression as he looks at coffee the table.

Jungkook: Miss Stella?

Stella: Yes,Kook?

Jungkook: Will Jimin hyung be okay?
I want things to be normal again...
For us to laugh and smile again...
Together...

You feel your heart ache a little.

Stella: I'm sure he'll be okay.
And I'm even more sure that things will go back to how they were:)

He looks at you his eyes wide.

Jungkook: But Miss Stella...
How can you be so sure?

Stella: Well...sometimes you just have to believe.
And I know that Jimin just needs time to cool off.
He's very stubborn,but he'll come around:)
I can see that he cares a lot for Hoseok and Hoseok cares for him too...
They have a good friendship.

Hoseok: Clearly we don't...
At least not good enough with how I hurt him...
Jin was right...
What kind of friend am I?

Stella: I'm sure Jimin will come around soon...
Our loveable Jimin will be okay and smiling again soon.
So don't worry,okay?:)

Jungkook smiles and nods.

Jungkook: You're right,Miss Stella.

He walks over to Hoseok and looks at him.
Hoseok lifts his head and turns to Jungkook.

Hoseok: Jungkook,I want----

Jungkook silently gives him a hug and rests his head on his shoulder.
Hoseok's eyes widen.

Hoseok: Kook?

Jungkook: Don't worry,Hoseok hyung.
Everything will be fine and we'll all be happy and things will be normal again.

Hoseok rests his chin on his shoulder and doesn't say anything.

Jungkook: I'm sorry for hiding behind Jin hyung when you tried to come near me...
I was just sad and I couldn't believe what happened...
I just didn't want to see how hurt you and Jimin hyung were...
I wanted to help...
I really,really wanted to...
But I didn't know what to do...
I'm sorry,Hoseok hyung...
I promise to never do it again...
Never ever.
Please forgive me if you can:(

Hoseok chuckles and smiles.
Jungkook lets go and backs away a bit as he looks at Hoseok surprised and confused.

Jungkook: Why are you laughing,Hoseok hyung?

Hoseok: Because I'm happy!
I honestly thought you were scared of me and would never want to talk with me again.
That's why!:)
I'm just so happy to know that you don't hate me...
That I just misunderstood.

Jungkook looks at him with a super serious expression.

Jungkook: Are you crazy,Hoseok hyung?!?! Seriously?!

He asks in a serious tone.

Hoseok: You're sounding just like Jin. Rapping while angry*smile*

Jin: Hmph! Of course! He's basically like my kid!

Hoseok: *smiling* So I really misunderstood?

Jungkook: Of course you just misunderstood!
I'd never hate you!
How could I?
You're my Hoseok hyung! My friend!

He smiles and gives a thumbs up while posing.

Jungkook: And you make the BEST banana milk!:)

Yoongi looks at them shocked as he gets up from the couch as you stay seated smiling.

Yoongi: And what about my banana milk?
You literally asked me to make you some just a few days ago.

Jungkook turns around and continues smiling.

Jungkook: It's good,Yoongi hyung...
I mean it and that time I wanted yours.
But I prefer Hoseok hyung's.

Yoongi pouts and crosses his arms but starts laughing almost immediately.

Yoongi: I guess I'll need to work on my banana milk making skills.
I am a headchef afterall.
I can't let my downfall be not being able to make the most delicious banana milk ever just like you guys think of how delicious my food is.

Hoseok smiles and shakes his head.

Hoseok: No way:)
You're already the best cook and baker here.
So don't try to steal my title of "Best banana milk maker" or else there'll be trouble*chuckle*

Yoongi: Fine. I don't want any trouble:)

Hoseok: I thought so:)

Taehyung smiles as he looks at you smiling as you look at Jungkook,Hoseok and Yoongi smiling and laughing.

Taehyung: I'm happy that things are semi back to normal now.

Stella: Me too.

You say your smile widening as the laughter continues to echo through the livingroom.
Your smile falters a bit and Taehyung sees.

Stella: All that has to happen now...
Is for Jimin and Hoseok to be okay again.
And of course all of us finding the witnesses and evidence we need.

You sigh rubbing your temples.
Taehyung smiles encouragingly.

Taehyung: Yah,I'm sure everything will go smoothly...

He pats your shoulder.

Taehyung: You have us now.
We're doing and will continue doing whatever we can to help.

You smile and nod your head in thanks.

Taehyung: And hey.
Since it's Friday we do have time.
We don't have to rush since we could miss something vital.

His smile fades.

Taehyung: But we do need to get a move on.
Those thugs will get released after this weekend if we don't have witnesses and evidence to present...
So I think it's best if we make sure to always be on the lookout for something that could help.

I nod in agreement.
We all chat for a bit and eat breakfast.
Yoongi made me a delicious ham,cheese,tomato and lettuce sandwich with EXTRA cheddar cheese T□T
Needless to say I enjoyed the sandwich and Yoongi was obviously happy to see it.
After a few more minutes we all get our things ready to head to our respective workplaces.
Just as I'm about to head out...

Yoongi: Stella?

Yoongi calls me.
His expression blank as I look at him and the others file out the door.

Stella: Yah?

Yoongi: Where are you going?

Stella: ...
To work?

Yoongi: Mhm...

He looks at you for a few seconds.
After a few seconds he smiles and nods.

Yoongi: Okay😁

Your chocolate brown eyes widen as he surprisingly agrees.
His expression mirrors yours.

He looks so freaking cute T^T

He looks just like a cat!!!!

GINGER CAT T■T

THE EYES!!!! AHHHHH!!!! I JUST WANT TO SQUEEZE HIS CHEEKS BUT THAT WOULD BE SO FREAKING WEIRD IF I DID;_;

How the hell is he even in his 20s?!?!?!

Yoongi: What?
Is there something on my face?

Stella: It is your face and hair...everything...

You mumble still looking at him.

Yoongi: Uhm...sorry I didn't catch that.

You blink and shake your head.

Stella: No*giggle*
I'm just surprised that's all:)

At myself too*facepalm*

Yoongi: About what exactly?

Stella: I thought you were going to do your "Stella,you're hurt and you need to rest and that means you're staying here and not going to work" speech.
But hey.
I'm not making fun of you. Understand?
I could never do that to once again.
My favourite person here who I frankly find adorable*smile*

Aish. What the heck.

He lets out a chuckle smiling blushing a little.

OMG. SO CUTE!!!! I really want to squeeze his cheeks!!!;_;

Maybe one day he'd let me!!!!

Oh shush!!!! Stop with your weird thoughts!!!!

Stella: Also. Just ignore me if I say something weird.
Seriously.
For some reason it seems my mouth just goes on talking without thinking these days;_;

Yoongi: Don't worry about it. Honestly I really don't mind it.
What you say might make me a little shy but...
I prefer honesty.
My motto you know.

You nod.

Yoongi: And yah. I know you're not making fun of me and I know I can go a little overboard sometimes.

And that's honestly sweet.

Yoongi: And you know I was actually about to say that you should stay here...
But I thought it must be boring staying here...alone...
Sure...
There are things to do but still.
And also staying busy and going out.
Actually seeing other people even if you don't interact with them is good for a person's overall health.
I don't want you to feel isolated or anything.

Stella: So that means I can go to work?
You're not going to stop me?
No changing your mind last minute?

Yoongi: Yes. No and no. In that order.
You can go:)
But only on four conditions:)

Stella: I had a feeling that there would be a "but" in there.

Yoongi: Of course:)

You smile.

Stella: So what are the four conditions?

He takes a small see-through plastic bag out of his pocket that contains gauze and so on.
He hands it to you.
You take it confused.

Yoongi: You'll remember and make to change your bandages regularly.
It'll help speed up the process of healing your knee.
Also don't strain yourself so if you feel tired or any discomfort then take a rest and then continue working when you feel better.
Allow me to give you a ride to your workplace.
And last but not least the last and the most important condition----
Contact me,Hoseok or Jimin to pick you up when you're really not feeling well.
Do you agree to these conditions?

Stella: It feels like a contract*chuckle*

He smiles.

Yoongi: Well it kind of is:)
It's so that I don't have to unnecessarily worry about you while working.

Stella: Okay...I agree.
But I feel the need to tell you that my mom worked in the medical field and so I know a few things.

Yoongi: Great! That makes me feel a bit more relaxed. Let's go.

Yoongi and I exit the apartment.
Yoongi locks the apartment door and we head out the building,get into his car and drive to my workplace.
After a few minutes we arrive and I say goodbye to Yoongi and he drives off.
As I'm about to head inside the café to start work. I hear someone doing a wolf whistle. I turn around and see Hansol and Jen on the opposite side of the road where the park is as she's smiling widely.

Jen: 🎶Stella and Yoongi🎵
🎶Sitting in a tree🎵
🎶K-I-S-S-I-N-G🎵
🎶First comes love🎵
🎶Then comes marriage🎵
🎶Then comes Stella with a baby carriage🎵

O...my...god...

You feel embarrassed and walk over looking around to make sure it's safe.

Hansol: Everyone,this girl singing next to me...
I don't know her. I am in no way related to her. But I think she needs to go to an institution or something.

Jen stops singing and turns to him as she puts her hand on her hip wearing a confident and unbothered expression.

Jen: Haters gonna hate!
You're just jealous of my beautiful singing voice!
And you're the one who needs an institution because you can't see and appreciate natural talent.

She flips her hair and clears her throat smiling.

Jen: 🎶Sucking his thumb🎵
Or maybe even her thumb. We don't know if it'll be a boy or a girl.

Hansol crosses his arms.

Hansol: I only have one question...
Why would I be jealous of someone that sounds like a dying chicken when ATTEMPTING to sing?
And yah I think I need an institution to save my ears from their suffering.

Jen: 🎶Wetting his or her----🎵

She frowns and puts her hands on her hips.

Jen: Well at least I can sing better than you! Hmph!
Do I have to remind you that I ALWAYS came in the top three at school when it came to singing?!

Hansol shrugs and smiles.

Hansol: Whatever floats your boat:)

Jen: Aish! Older brothers can be so annoying at times.

She turns to you as you're approaching them.

Jen: Stella...you look kind of red in the face.
I mean I almost can't see the difference between your face and your red hair strands.

Hansol looks.

Hansol: Yah...well...
It's not like you were just belting out a song for the whole world to hear about her having children with one of the seven guys she's living with.

Jen smiles and lets out a small giggle as your face heats up even more.

Jen: Well...
Who wouldn't want to marry any of them and potentially have a family huh?
Like just look at them all. They look so handsome. They clearly have good gene pools;)
But I can honestly see that only 3 of them has caught your attention,Stella😉
It's Jimin,Yoongi and the ✨mysterious Namjoon✨🤭😁

You look at your shoes.

Stella: Well...uh...

Jen: Oh...no need to be embarrassed.
I'd be more worried if you didn't want to jump any of them with how they look and I wouldn't blame you if you did or if you let one or all 3 of them jump you!:3

I feel my face getting warmer.
Especially because I hear and see a few people specifically school girls walking by as they giggle because they only caught the last sentence that Jen said*facepalm*

What does a girl have to do for the Earth to just swallow her whole?!?!?!

First I embarrass myself with Yoongi by calling him cute twice in less than 10 hours and now this!!!! I'm so glad he's not here to hear this!!!!;_;

I mean I know I basically do call him cute when I call him by the one nickname I gave him but calling him cute on its own is so AHHHHHHH!!!!!!

Hansol: Yep...my sister has no filter.
But mostly she has no shame whatsoever as you've probably realized even more right now.

Jen: Of course not!
Having no shame is sometimes good~~~
I think you need to loosen up a little.
Maybe with a certain honey blonde dyed hair guy if you know what I mean~~~:3

Stella: 🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅!!!!

Hansol: Be glad you don't have any younger siblings.
Especially a younger sister.
It's a nightmare I tell you.
It feels like I'm 30 years older than my actual age:)
My hair might even start to go grey soon because of her.
Unfortunately there always has to be that kind of sibling that enjoys causing trouble.
And that sibling is her as you just heard from what she literally just told you to do.

Jen: Who? Me?

She asks acting innocent with a smile.

Jen: I have no idea what you're talking about:)
Honest.
I was just being a good friend and sister to Stella by giving her some good advice.
And I think most people dream of having a fun,cute,loving little sister like me:)

Hansol: Yah,keep telling yourself that*playfully rolling eyes*

Jen turns to you.

Jen: Also Stel I forgot to mention at the picnic and since that day.
I forgot to mention it that I actually know Namjoon.
When you mentioned his name when we first hung out I just thought it's a coincidence.
So yep.
I know him.

You and Hansol look at her surprised.

You and Hansol: You do?!?!

Jen: Yah!:)
He comes to my workplace for coffee every morning and his favourite cookies.
Sometimes but rarely he orders differently.
Anyways.
He LOVES black coffee just like you;)
He's pretty silent and doesn't really smile...
But he's pretty okay and never rude or anything.
But anyways just look at this photo.

She takes out her phone and taps a few times as you and Hansol stand on either side of her looking at the screen.
A picture of you all smiling and so on in the park on the day of the picnic shows up.

Jen: Just look at how handsome all of them look!!!!
This is too much handsomeness in one picture!
They look handsome,right?!

Stella: Yep.

Jen: What do you think,Hansy?
Do they look handsome to you?!

Hansol furrows his brows and taps his chin thinking.

Hansol: Obviously they all look handsome.
But honestly none of them are my type.

I tear my eyes away from the screen and stare at him in confusion as he and Jen look at me with unreadable expressions.

Stella: Your type...?

Hansol: Yah...

Jen: You see...
My brother...
He's----

Hansol: I'm gay. That's what she's trying to say...

He says in a low voice with a nervous expression.
You stare at Hansol blankly.
His expression falters a bit as he shifts in place while looking away as you don't say anything.

Hansol: Uhm...

Stella: O...my...god...
That's great!!!!:)

Hansol jumps and raises his hands in front him as you smile widely.

Stella: It's super great.
It'll make dating a lot easier for you!:)

Jen smiles and looks at Hansol as he's still in shock.

Jen: See,Hansy:)
I told you not to be scared!!!!

You look at Hansol surprised and confused.

Stella: Wait...
You were scared to tell me?

He slowly lowers his hands standing up straighter.

Hansol: Well...yah...
A lot of people don't like gay people unfortunately...
So...I was kind of nervous about your reaction...

You look at him with a serious expression.

Stella: Don't pay any attention to those people!
I'm so happy you trusted me enough to tell me:)
And I fully support you:)

He smiles.

Hansol: Thank you:) I really appreciate it.
You know...
My whole family knows about me being gay...
But due to our family name and well...
Me being the only son of my and Jen's parents and people here are still in the process of being more open minded and accepting towards gay people...
I act like I'm not gay...
Especially in public.
Which is why I called you pretty that day I met you.
Don't get me wrong! You are pretty but you know...

Stella: Don't be nervous! I understand what you're saying:)

Hansol: Okay:)
Also...
Our dad is the CEO of Lee Electronics.
Well...our grandfather started the company and then handed it to our dad aka his son when he became old and capable enough to own and manage the company. My grandfather wants me to take over but Jen's the one who's actually interested in the position. She even helps out there. But you know...
Our grandfather is very conservative. Since I'm the eldest and I'm a guy too...
He wants me to take over eventhough I'm not interested at all and have made it clear.
So the pressure is real.

Stella: You mean only one of the biggest and best electronics companies in the whole of South Korea!?!
Jin has mentioned it!
Namjoon gets all his phones from there!
Even my phone is from there!
I knew my phone was from here but wow.

Hansol: Yep!
That's why I'm so careful in public...
It would be a huge scandal if it was found out that the great and successful Lee Chul's grandson is gay*sad smile*

You feel bad for him and pat his shoulder to comfort him.

Stella: It'll be okay.
You can't help that you like guys.
Your grandfather should respect your decisions.

Hansol nods and sighs.

Stella: But why are you guys only telling me all this now?

Jen: We were testing you...

Stella: Testing me?

Jen: Yah,unfortunately some people only interact with us when they hear that we're rich...
We liked you...
So we thought to test you...

She smiles.

Jen: And you passed with flying colours!!!!
We're very happy...

She looks at you with a guilty expression.

Jen: We're sorry for lying...

You shake your head.

Stella: It's fine!
Don't worry about it...

She smiles gratefully.

Hansol: So...
You've probably heard of the bad stuff some people do to gay people...

Stella: Yah,I heard...
It's very disgusting and disappointing to be completely honest...
They don't even see them as people...

Jen: But guys...

You and Hansol look at her.

Jen: Stop focusing on the negative.
At this point your guys's beautiful hair will start greying soon.

She says with a smile trying to lighten the mood as she bumps her shoulder against Hansol's.

Stella: You're right!

You turn your attention back to Hansol.

Stella: Anywho...
Do you have a special someone?;)

Hansol's chocolate brown eyes widen at the question.

Hansol: Well----

Jen: Not yet!
But soon~~~~
Soooooon~~~~

She says with a grin on her face while rubbing her hands together.

Hansol: You're looking like a classic villain. You just need a chair and a cat on your lap.

Jen laughs.

Jen: I'll just use Fluffy instead!

Stella: Fluffy?

Jen: Yah,that's his hamster.

Stella: Oh nice.

Jen clears her throat.

Jen: Anyways he's on a bunch of dating apps!:)

Hansol: Yah...
A bunch of dating apps that my super NOSY little sister over there put me on.
That was my Christmas gift from her.

Jen smiles and looks at him.

Jen: I think you mean "my cute,helpful,smart little sister".
What's a better gift than helping someone mingle?;)

Hansol: And nosy:)
Oh...I don't know...
Maybe some drawing supplies?
Or some fabric for I don't know.
Maybe making some designs?

Jen: Meh...

Hansol: But yah...
But if grandfather found out about the apps then he would freak!

Jen waves her hand in the air.

Jen: Don't worry about that.

Hansol: You're asking the impossible...

He mumbles as Jen continues smiling and looks at you.

Jen: At least there's some progress...
He's currently chatting with a few guys on the apps,but hasn't met up with any of them.

Hansol: Yah,mainly because I haven't been out of the closet for long...
I came out on 20 December 2021.
So just near the end of last year.
And so I'm still trying to adjust...
I also make sure to always wear a mask when putting up pictures of myself and use a fake name obviously.

Jen: I think my older bro is forgetting to mention something important.

You look at her.

Jen: There's this one red haired grey eyed guy that goes to my bro's workplace every few days.
He always orders a bunch of food and makes light conversation with my brother.
He always wears a black bottom half face mask with a print of white skeletal bones on it.
So my brother hasn't seen his full face.
But from the way my brother keeps acting when I ask if the mysterious masked man came around...
He gets all gushy and stuff*giggle*

Hansol: She's lying...
I don't get "all gushy and stuff".
I act like a normal,calm person who's talking with another normal,calm person.

Jen: You mean you act like a person who hasn't asked his name or number yet.

She says with a frown.

Jen: He's been going there for weeks already and you haven't done anything. How's that even possible?!
Instead gushing over how hot he looks which isn't wrong by the way.
I mean you gotta appreciate hotness:3
BUT STILL!!!!

Hansol and you look at her.

Jen: Like I'm sure he's very attractive with how you act eventhough I haven't had the honor of seeing him myself and you said he wears a mask.

Hansol: Yah...but he's a customer!
It's a customer and server relationship.
Nothing more. Nothing less.
It should be professional.
AND AGAIN I WASN'T GUSHING!!!!!
Plus I can't just go around making moves on just any guy.
Not that I would make moves.
But what if he's not into guys?!
What if he has a girlfriend?!
What if he's like triple my age!?
OMG!!!!!

His eyes widen and puts his hands over his mouth.

Hansol: WHAT IF HE'S MARRIED AND HAS CHILDREN?!?!?!?!

Jen: Hansy-

Hansol: I'D BE A HOMEWRECKER!!!!!!

As he panicks and bends over with his hands on his knees Jen rubs his back to calm him.

Jen: Breathe...just breathe...

Hansol: A HOMEWRECKER!!!!

Stella: Well...
You'll never know if you don't ask.

He sighs standing up straight and looks at you.

Stella: But I know you won't ask...

Hansol: Of course not! He'll think that I'm nosy and why would I even ask him things that aren't my business!

Stella: If he's single then shoot your shot. Carefully. Maybe ask his age too if age is really important to you.
If he's too old for you back away.
But especially if he's not single then back away.
Just do what you think is right.
If you don't want to pursue him then don't pressure yourself.

Jen rubs her temples sighing.

Jen: Who cares if he's older!?
Hansy clearly finds the guy HOT!
You two are seriously no fun!

Hansol: Yah...yah...
Anyways I should get to work...
You guys should too.

Jen: My workplace is literally on this side of the road. Hers is on that side of the road so we're opposite each other.
Well...not exactly opposite.
Mine's 2 blocks away from hers down the road.

Hansol: Yah,Miss Opposite side of the road...
I better get to work otherwise I'll be late.

He walks to his car,gets in and drives off while Jen and I wave to him and then head to our respective workplaces.
The day goes by fast...
And it's lunch time before I know it.
Hansol,Jen and I meet each other at the park which is on the opposite side of the road from my workplace aka the side of the road where her work place is so we can chat and have lunch together.
We're sitting on the grass under a big tree that has one bench on one side and another on the other side.

Jen: This morning I was talking so much that I forgot to ask how you're doing...
So has anything interesting happened?
Like maybe Mr. Hot and mysterious aka Namjoon made a move on you yet?

She asks the questions with a smile.

Stella: I really like that code name you gave him*giggle*
"Mr. Hot and mysterious".
It really fits him:)

Hansol: It honestly does.

He says swallowing a bite of his nutella and strawberry croissant.

Jen: Yes,it does.
Now answer the question.

Stella: He hasn't made any "moves".

You take a sip of your coffee and sigh.

Stella: And I don't think he ever will honestly. He doesn't like me. And I honestly don't know why. You guys remember what I told you guys at the bar...
How he acts around me.
It's like I don't even exist.
He'll acknowledge me for like a second and then after that he'll go back to ignoring me...
Like how I told you guys about when he made his smoothie and so on.
There's a little acknowledgement but not a lot.
It's like "I see you and acknowledge your presence but I choose not to most of the time"...
But yah...something did happen.

You tell them both everything that happened.
Everything from the rules,you breaking them to what happened this morning as they listen with wide eyes.
Giving you their full attention as you tell them every last detail.
Hansol looks at your bandaged knee with wide eyes as you lift up your pant's leg.

Hansol: That's a lot of drama and your knee...

Jen: Seriously...that's a lot...

She says still looking shocked and you pull your pant's leg back down.

Stella: Yah,but please don't judge Hoseok on this...
He's a good person.
You guys will hopefully meet him soon.

Hansol: Yah,I'm sure he is.
We shouldn't form our judgment of him on this.

Jen nods.

Jen: My brother is right...
Also be sure to call your favorite ginger when you feel like work gets too much,okay?

I nod blushing a little as she chuckles.
As the three of us are about to continue chatting and eating our food...
We hear people cheering and someone driving loudly on a motorcycle.
All of us look towards the sound but can't see past the brick wall and trees as they're blocking our view where all the noise is coming from.

Hansol: I wonder who's making all that noise and why those people are cheering.

He says adjusting his cap.

Jen: I think we should go together to see.
I can't really see from here...

She looks up at the sky.

Jen: Plus that person is causing a big cloud of dirt and smoke to form.
I think we should go.

I pick up my cap taking my things as I plan to put go back to my work place and leave them there since I'm done with eating and break will be over soon so why not.
We get up and walk out the park towards the commotion to see what's happening.
As we arrive we're met with the sight of a big crowd crowding in a big circle around the person who's on the motorcycle inside the circle.
I can't see much from this distance and with all the people blocking my view along with the smoke.

The person on the motorcycle wearing a black and red helmet on the black and red motorcycle drives by us and then makes a U-turn and then comes to a stop right in front of us.
The person takes off their helmet and the crowd follows.
The person is none other than----

Jimin? O.o

He smiles looking at you guys holding onto his helmet as he brushes his wavy hair out of his chocolate brown eyes.

Jimin: Hello,Jen.

He looks at you as he smirks.

Jimin: Hello,lioness...

He says with a wink.
You clear your throat as you feel Jen elbowing you and then pushing you towards Jimin while you're holding onto your backpack's handle as your backpack is hanging infront of you.
You feel a little shy as Jimin's smirk widens seeing how nervous you are as you look at the ground.

Stella: Oh...hello,Jimin- chick- Jimin chick( ' • • )

Jimin smiles quietly watching as you're fumbling over your words.
You look at him.

Stella: What are you doing here?

Jimin: I felt like coming here...
But that's not the only reason.

He leans on the handlebars of his motorcycle as he looks at you.

Jimin: I'm also here to pick you up:)

Stella: But the day isn't over yet...
I mean...it's literally lunch time.
I only get off work at 15:30.

Jimin: Yah...
But I called your workplace a few hours ago and your boss answered.
And I asked her if I could come pick you up early but that she shouldn't tell you and she agreed.
And so you're off for the rest of the day.

Stella: But why?

Jen: THIS GIRL!!!! DON'T ASK QUESTIONS!!!!! AISH!!!!!

Jimin: That I can't tell you...
At least not right now.
So hop on and let's go.

I look over my shoulder at Jen who's smiling.
To Hansol who shrugs as I'm unsure of what to do.
They both give me encouraging smiles and Jen nudges me closer to Jimin.
I nod putting on my backpack before shyly getting on the back of Jimin's motorcycle while feeling everyone's eyes on me and Jimin.
Jimin turns a little handing me his helmet.
I raise an eyebrow.

Jimin: I don't need one.
You need it more than I do.

The gesture and words are stupidly sweet(=_=)

I feel like retorting but I know he won't listen.
I nod putting on the helmet and hold onto the back of the motorcycle seat but Jimin realizes this as he looks at me in one of the mirrors.
He looks over his shoulder at me.

Jimin: You don't have to do that.
Just hold my waist.

Stella: O.o

Jimin: Oh come on*chuckle*
We're not strangers.
Just hold my waist.
Like this.

He puts his arms around his waist hugging it.
He takes his hands off and looks back infront.
His words repeat in my mind making me nervous and shy,but I do as he says.
And that's when I realize...

Jimin's ABS!!!!!!( ' • • )

HOLY FATHER OF ABS!!!!!!!!

I'M TOUCHING THEM RIGHT NOW!!!!!

AM I SUPPOSED TO BE FEELING THEM RIGHT NOW?!?!?!?

SHOULD I LET GO?!?!?!

BUT HE TOLD ME TO HOLD HIS WAIST;_;

I'M ACTUALLY TOUCHING HIS
ABS!!!!! O.O

His face looks so young and innocent but wow...

LIKE YAH! I KNOW I SAW HIS ABS BEFORE! NOT INTENTIONALLY THOUGH BUT STILL!!!!

This is the moment where I die T□T

Grim Reaper!!!! Wherever you are!!!!!!

Jimin chuckles as he realizes that I can feel through his shirt!!!

Jimin: 🎶Can you feel it🎵
🎶Can you feel it🎵
*chuckle*

He...did he do this on purpose?!

AND YES. I CAN FUCKING FEEL IT!!!!

EVERY SINGLE DETAIL!!!! GODDD!!!!!

Stella: *thinking back to the comments he made on my post and what he said in the hall before Hoseok saved me from almost evaporating because of him*

Ah!!!!!!!!!!

This is so awkward and embarrassing.

At this point people wouldn't even see the difference between my face & a tomato TT

Jimin: Hold on tight.

He say with a smirk as you're internally panicking behind him.
He revs the engine as people give way.
He moves the motorcycle forward while looking to make sure it's safe to go.

Someone please save me T_T

I'm only 21!!!!;_;

And we're off.
We drive in silence as I look around at all the people,buildings and cars with my hands still around Jimin's waist.
Without realizing I loosen my grip a little.
I feel Jimin's left hand on my right wrist.
His fingers curling around my wrist.
He pulls my arms tighter around his waist.

Jimin: You should really hold on tight:)
Wouldn't want you to fall.
And even if you did which I doubt I'd catch you.
I'd make sure to catch you.
Hold on as tight as you want...
I really don't mind*smiling*

He says as I hear the smile in his voice and it makes me blush as I smile too.

I'm happy he can't see me blushing right now.

Jimin: And she's probably most likely blushing right now:)

We drive for a few more minutes and Jimin stops in next to a wall.
He kills the engine and i take off his helmet.
We both get off and hand it to him.
He puts it away.

Jimin: Okay. Now hand me your backpack.

I take off my backpack and hand it over.

Jimin: Now turn around and close your eyes for me...

I feel a little confused but listen once again.
I feel him putting a blindfold on me.
I hear his footsteps as he walks around me and stops in front of me.

Jimin: Can you see anything?

You shake your head.
And Jimin smirks as he leans close to you and you smell his cologne but don't react since you really can't see.

Jimin: Mhm...*leans a little closer turning his head this way and that way*

Stella: *starts blushing feeling how close he is*

Jimin: *small smile*

He nods confirming that you really can't see through the blindfold as he pulls away.
He gently takes your hand in his and tells you to follow him.
You nod as you listen.
You two walk for a few minutes and come to a stop.

Jimin: Okay...we're here...
I'm going to take off the blindfold but keep your eyes closed,okay?

Stella: Yah...

I wonder what's going to happen...

Jimin takes off the blindfold.
You hear him walking out from behind you and taking a few steps away from you as he walks past you.
Jimin claps his hands.

Jimin: Okay:)
You may open your eyes now:)

You slowly open your eyes and blink as you adjust to the sun's brightness and Jimin smiles.

Jimin: Tada~~~

I look around seeing that we're in a field. The grass and trees are green and the birds are chirping as there's a light breeze.

I look behind Jimin.
My eyes widen and I let out a gasp as I see a picnic blanket spread out on the grass...
Some of the foods are spread out on the blanket.
I see a big wicker picnic basket filled with even more food...
My favorites...
As well as a few bottles of red wine and white wine next the basket as well as inside it.

Everything looks so perfect...

Like Jimin really put in a lot of effort...

I can't even remember the last time Leo did something like this for me...

And here's Jimin...

Not even my partner but he did this for me...

Jimin: Well?

He asks with a smile.

Jimin: Do you like this surprise?:)

A small smile spreads across my face as I tear my eyes away from the spread out picnic and look at him.

Stella: I do:)
It's very nice...

I say looking at the food.
My smile dissappears as I furrow my brows and look at him feeling confused.

Stella: But why did you do this?

He scratches his chin as your backpack dangles by its straps from the spot where his arm bends.

Jimin: Well...

His eyes meet yours as he smiles showing his dimple and his hair falls in his face.

Jimin: There are different reasons.
But the three main ones are...
I wanted to do something to make you feel better.
I wanted to spend time with you...
Alone...uninterrupted...
And of course we couldn't go on our coffee date and so this picnic is to make up for that.

Stella: So...

You feel yourself blushing a little as you shift in place and he looks at you with a smile.

Stella: This is a date?

Jimin: It can be if you want*wink*

Stella: Oh...

You let out an awkward laugh.

Jimin: Adorable!
I'm glad she likes the surprise...
I honestly felt a bit worried that she wouldn't...
And she's smiling...
Exactly what I wanted.

His smile widens.

Jimin: Come on let's eat:)

You nod as he helps you sit down.

Stella: Thank you...

He nods and sits down on the opposite end of the blanket putting your backpack down.
He takes the basket and takes out the rest of the food as he spreads it all out between the two of you.
He sets the basket aside and smiles as he looks at you.

Jimin: Well...I hope you're hungry:)
Vanilla cake,burgers,samosas,
sandwiches,fried chicken and so on.
I made all this by myself...
Well...not all of it*chuckle*
I didn't have time to make your favorite pancakes and so I bought them instead:)
And as you can see I brought some bottles of red wine and white wine.
Afterall I did promise that I'd help you with tasting some red wine.
Cabernet Sauvignon.
My favorite brand.
And I also brought a few bottles of my other favorite brands of red wine too but Carbenet Sauvignon is my number one.
And not only that!
These bottles of red wine are the BEST ones.
The white wine bottles we have here are also the best ones.
I remembered that you mentioned you liked white wine.
So I really hope you enjoy everything.

Stella: You really put in a lot of effort and everything looks so delicious...

Jimin: It's nothing.
I honestly didn't want to go to back sleep and so I thought I could at least do this to put a smile on your face.

Stella: So how could I not enjoy?:)

Jimin: I'm happy you think so:)
Do you want some red wine?

Stella: Yes,please:)

Jimin and I enjoy the food and wine.
But most of all we enjoy each other's company as we laugh and chat.
Having a great time together and taking pictures that we almost don't even realize that hours have past and the sun's busy setting.
We get up,pack up everything and throw away the empty wrappers and containers.
We put the remaining full bottles and left over food in the basket.
I pick up the basket and Jimin tries to take it from me but I shake my head telling him I'll carry it.
I tell him my knee is fine before he can tell me about my injury.
I mean seriously.
The basket is pretty light considering we ate most of the food and plus he already did enough and I already took pain tablets earlier.
He nods and we're about to head back to his motorcycle but then...

*SHATTER*

Jimin and my eyes widen as we both freeze in place hearing a glass bottle shatter a few feet behind us.
We look over our shoulders in the direction of the sound,but we don't see anything.
The field's empty. No other people aside from us there.
Jimin looks at me and smiles.

Jimin: Don't worry...
It's probably nothing.
Let's go...
It's getting late...

I nod and he puts his arm around my shoulders as a light breeze comes up.
We're about to start walking again but----
We hear running coming from the same direction as the bottle that shattered.
Jimin frowns deeply and balls his fists as his body shakes a little.
Before I can even say or do anything----
He pulls me behind him almost making me drop the basket.
He's holding my hand tightly while angrily looking over the field as I'm surprised.

Jimin: Come out!
Whoever you are come out!

There are a few moments of silence and Jimin's grip on your hand tightens just a bit. Holding it firm to ensure that you stay behind him.

Jimin: Seems like I'll have to drag you out!

Just as he's about to go over there and look for whoever it is.

Male voice: No! Wait! Don't come over here!
I'll come out!
Just...just don't come over here please!

He yells panicked in his Seoul accent.
His voice sounds like Bruno Mars.

A teenage boy no younger than 17 with nut brown eyes and dark brown hair wearing glasses and a school uniform crawls out of the bushes and dusts off his clothes as he gets up.
My eyes widen at the sight and I see Jimin frowning even more deeply.

Teenage boy: I'm just a boy! Calm down!

His voice sounds like Bruno Mars.
Jimin crosses his arms as you're still in shock.

Jimin: What were you doing in those bushes?!
Were you spying on us?!

Teenage boy: You really make it sound weird you know?

Jimin: So you were?!
Don't you know you shouldn't be doing that?!
I'm gonna teach you a lesson!

The boy jumps and raises his hands.

Teenage boy: *high pitched girly scream*
Miss!!!!!!

Before Jimin can take another step towards the boy-----
I drop the basket stepping infront of Jimin and put the palm of my hand on his chest.
He looks at me surprised.

Jimin: My heart's beating so fast...
I wonder if she can feel it.
Maybe it's just from all the adrenaline...maybe...
What are you doing?

I look at him.

Stella: I'm hopefully stopping you from strangling a high school boy who probably doesn't even want to do anything to us.

Teenage boy: She's right!

Jimin glares at him and the boy backs away a bit.
Jimin's expression softens as he looks at you.

Teenage boy: Miss! You're completely right!
Just tell your boyfriend to please just calm down!

Your eyes widen and Jimin smiles.
You slowly turn your back to Jimin and look at the ground as the boy looks between you and Jimin.

Stella: We...I...we...are not----

Jimin's smile dissappears as he turns his attention back to the teenage boy.

Jimin: Anyways!!!
Why were you spying on us?!

The teenage boy looks at you.

Teenage boy: Well...you know that time you were attacked,Miss?
It was on the news but not only that...
I was there when you were attacked...

You and Jimin: You were?!?!?!

You both ask with wide eyes looking at the teenage boy in disbelief.

Teenage boy: Yes,and not only that...
I also have the whole thing recorded on my phone...
I didn't know what to do with it since I didn't want to get involved but...

Jimin: You have to show us!!!!

Teenage boy: Of course.
Why would I tell you guys about it if I won't show it?
That just doesn't make any sense at all.

He takes out his phone and looks at the screen and he taps on it.

Teenage boy: But let me just go into my phone's gallery first.

He nods walking to you two and extends his phone.

Teenage boy: Here...

Jimin and I watch the video and sure enough...
The boy's telling the truth...
In the background it shows me waiting for Yoongi,taking pictures and then getting taken by the thugs.
The last we see is Yoongi looking around and panicking.
And then the boy runs away and the video ends.
I look at the boy as he's waiting for us to say something.

Stella: Why do you look sick in the video?

Jimin crosses his arms.

Jimin: He was using some sort of substance...

Teenage boy: Yah,for the first and last time!
But due to my curiosity or rather my stupidity to try it out...
And taking a video of it...
I got the video that you really need.

Jimin: And HOW do you know we need it?

Teenage boy: Oh! Trust me! I know!
Afterall I have been following you and your friends around since the incident occurred.

He says looking at you. You look at him completely shocked while Jimin doesn't even react.

Did he see what happened in the alleyway?! Is that why he's thinking we're together?! Shit!!!!!!

I mean it wouldn't be surprising and he just said he's been following us and he was watching us and so he saw us having a romantic looking picnic!

I mean most friends don't do that!!!!!

So people would of course assume that if they see a woman and man on a picnic especially a romantic looking one!

They'd of course think they're a
couple!!!! AHHHHHH!!!!

Jimin: See? This guy is a creep.

Teenage boy: A smart "creep" who just helped you guys out.

Stella: Uhm...*clearing throat to chase away the awkwardness I feel from the thoughts I just had*
If you don't mind...
Can we please get this video?
It would be super,super helpful to us.

Teenage boy: Yah! Sure!
Miss,just give me your number and I'll send it to you right now.

Jimin: You know that there are other ways of sending videos and stuff,right?
I'm no expert,but I think doing it through Bluetooth could work.
But then again I'm no expert.

He says a bit annoyed.
You look at his expression watching as his freckles and moles get pulled down as he's pouting.

Pfffff! Hahahaha! Is he getting jealous?!

It's so cute!

Teenage boy: Yah,sir----

Jimin: Do I look like your dad?!
Who are you calling sir?!
My name's Jimin!
I'm only turning 22 this year!
I'm far from being a sir!

This is quite entertaining! It's getting difficult to not laugh.

Teenage boy: Well...my dad's much more handsome than you...so no...
Plus you look like you're only a few years older than me and you just confirmed that you are...
So if I said yes...
I'd basically be saying that my dad looks like a baby.
You look very youthful for your age.

Did he just insult and compliment Jimin two times back to back?! XD

You put your hand over your mouth to contain your laugh.
The teenage boy turns his attention back to you.

Teenage boy: Anyways. Miss,if you don't mind...
Give me your phone so I can send the video through Bluetooth instead,because it seems like your boyfriend over there is going to pop a vein or something.
His face is red that he could pass as the Elmo character.
He should calm down and maybe even go for a checkup just in case.

Jimin's about to retort but you nod.

Stella: Sure thing*giggle*

You hand him your phone and wait as he transfers the video.
Not long after he nods looking at you and hands your phone back to you.

Teenage boy: Here's your phone back,Miss.

Stella: Thank you! Jimin,I'm going to send it to you,okay?

Jimin: Sure...

He says still looking annoyed mumbling under his breath that he doesn't look like a baby.
You send the video to Jimin.

Stella: And done!

Teenage boy: Also one last thing...
I know you guys need that video because you need evidence and witnesses to win against those two thugs.

Stella: How do you know that?!O.o

Teenage boy: ......................

Jimin: It's because he was spying on us and being a total creep.

He says with a frown.

Teenage boy: Bingo!!!!
I mean for the first part of that sentence!
Anyways...my work here is done!
So I'll get going now!

Jimin: Oh for goodness sake...please do!

He whispers to himself under his breath.

Teenage boy: But before I go...
I have a teeny tiny request.

Stella: What is it?

Teenage boy: Please tell the police not to tell my parents about what I did.

Jimin: Do you mean the part where you were a total creep and admitting to basically. No,not basically. Actually ENTIRELY admitted to stalking us all? Or do mean how you took a certain substance when you're still underage?

Teenage boy: ................Both..................

Stella: Don't worry.
We won't tell anyone:)
You helped us a great deal and we're very thankful:)

Jimin: Thankful. "we". Thankful my ass*mumbling**scoff*

You look at him.

Stella: Right,Jimin?
We appreciate his help very much,right?*puppy eyes*

Jimin's eyes widen as you make your downturned eyes even bigger.

Jimin: Fuck!!!! I didn't even know she could do that with her eyes!
I.am.so.screwed...
Utterly screwed....

Jimin sighs and then smiles as he looks at the boy.

Jimin: Yes,we appreciate your help very much!
*most fake smile in the whole galaxy*

Teenage boy: Mock me all you want with your words and fake smile,acornhead.
Anyways...I'm happy I could help so I'll get going now.

He turns on his heels and runs off.

Teenage boy: Bye,Miss and acornhead!!!!!

You wave and smile.

Stella: Bye!!!! Thanks once again!!!!:)

Jimin: Did he seriously call me "acornhead"?!

Stella: He sure did*laugh*

Jimin picks up the basket and grumbles as we start walking back to his motorcycle this time with no interruptions.
We walk for a few minutes and arrive at Jimin's motorcycle.
Jimin's busy packing everything away as the stars twinkle in the sky.

It's already dark...

You watch as Jimin's completely focus on putting everything away.

The whole walk he has had an irritated look on his face.

Even right now...

Let's test something:)

Stella: Jimin?:)

He stops packing everything away as he looks at you.

Jimin: Yah?

Stella: You look a bit annoyed...

He frowns.

Stella: Dare I say jealous?

Jimin: ....................................................

Stella: So I'm right!!!
You're jealous!!!!!!!!
You're scared that someone's going to "steal" me away from you or something?*laugh*

You continue laughing as Jimin continues to frown silently.
Tears roll down your cheeks from all the laughing.
Jimin smirks.

Jimin: Let me teach you a lesson,princess*mischievous smirk*

You're too busy laughing to realize what Jimin's about to do.

What?!

You open your eyes as Jimin walks over to you grabs you turning you around.
Pushing you against the wall before you can even register.
Your eyes widen and you feel your heart beating faster as his face is mere inches away from yours.
He has a smirk on his face as he puts his right hand under your chin.

Is this really happening?! AGAIN?!

Jimin tilts my chin up...
Making me look into his eyes...
The moonlight making his eyes shine like gold...
And his freckles stand out even more.
He's so close...
I can even smell him.
His citrusy,peppermint,jasmine,
rosewood with a hint of vanilla scent mixed with cologne.

Jimin: I'm going to tell you honestly...
That...yah...
I was and I am jealous.

He shouldn't be this close...(/•///•/)

Jimin: Same with Blasol...
With any guy who comes too close to you...
I do feel jealousy in those moments...
And I'm not afraid to admit it:)
Any guy with eyes and a functioning brain would be jealous if someone tried taking you...
Any guy would be scared shitless...
I mean...
For fuck's sake just look at you...
You're beautiful...

He brushes his thumb over your bottom lip and you let out a shaky breath.
He closes his eyes and slowly bends down to your neck.
His nose brushes against your skin as he sniffs and you stand as still as possible.

Jimin: Fuck...She smells so...nice...
I should stop immediately...
Otherwise I'll blow my cover...

He pulls away standing up straight as his eyes open and a smile spreads across his face as you stare at him still in shock.
His chest against yours keeping you in place.

Jimin: And you also smell..............very...............very..........nice..
Like vanilla...
I like vanilla a lot...
It's my favorite flavor for ice cream...
Everything about you is just...beautiful...
Any person who gets to be your friend or maybe something more...
Is one lucky person and should be grateful...
I know I am...
I've seriously hit the motherload*chuckle*
I'm happy that I got to meet you and that we're friends...
.............Best friends:)..................

Before I can say anything----

Huh? Wait what? O.o

Jimin turns around and walks away.
He gets on his motorcycle like he wasn't just pinning me and so close that I could feel his breath on my face...
I stare at him shocked as I'm still standing against the wall holding my breath.
Jimin looks at me with a smirk.

Jimin: Hey,princess:)
Are you coming?

You blink.

Stella: Oh! Uhm! Yah! I'm coming...

You walk towards him taking your backpack off the seat and putting it on before getting on the motorcycle.
He hands you the helmet and you put it on.
And this time before he can even tell you you wrap your arms around his waist and rest your head against his back due to exhaustion and also understandable embarrassment.
Jimin chuckles causing you to feel it against your chest and arms.
He starts the engine and you two drive off.
You fall asleep without realizing it.
You slowly open your eyes as you see you're back where you and Jimin just drove away from a few minutes ago.
You feel confused.

What? Why am I here?

Didn't Jimin and I leave?

Actually...

Where is Jimin anyways?

You look to your left.

Not there...

You turn to your right and jump as you see Jimin standing there smiling at you.

Stella: Jimin! Why are we----

Just like before he grabs me and spins me around.
Pinning me against the wall.
His left arm holds both my arms over my head.
He looks at me smiling as I look at him surprised.
And he tilts my chin up.

Stella: Jimin...n...
What's going on?

Jimin: What's going on is...
That I'm going to do something that I shouldn't...
But wanted to do for a long time...

Before I can ask what he means---
His lips are on mine.
They feel warm,plump and soft contrasting with how rough the kiss is.
He slips his tongue in through my parted lips and I feel like I'm going to go crazy!!!!
I can't grab him because my arms are still pinned above my head.
But I push my lips harder against his kissing him back with everything I have.
Even if someone sees us...
I don't care!
I feel him smiling against my lips.
He presses his body against mine and takes my bottom lip between his teeth.
He tugs gently...

Stella: Ah...

He smiles against my lips as he deepens the kiss.
Before I even have time to register...
He leans down and starts kissing and playfully biting my neck.
I lift my head up leaning it against the wall to give him more access.

Jimin: Mhm...seems like someone's enjoying themselves...

Stella: Ah...*whimper*
Mhm...h...
H...h..n...ah...
Fuck...fuck...k...

Jimin: Those sounds are music to my ears...

He trails down kissing your chest...
Eventhough it's cold out here you can feel the warmth of his lips...
Making you moan more as you try to stay quiet.
As you're sleeping Jimin continues on driving and stops the motorcycle waiting for an approaching car to pass by in the other lane before he can turn into the entrance of the underground parking lot.

Jimin: We're home!:) I wonder if she's okay back there.
She's been pretty quiet for the last few minutes...

The car passes and he drives into the entrance of underground parking lot of the apartment building before parking and killing the engine.

Jimin: We're home!:)

You don't answer.

Jimin: Stella?

He looks over his shoulder at you as he's still on the motorcycle.
He sees that you're fast asleep as you're not responding.

Jimin: Gosh...I can't see her face because of the helmet but I'm sure she looks so beautiful...
I shouldn't wake her.
Mhm...I could carry her...

You slowly open your eyes to see Jimin standing next to you as he has his hand on your shoulder thinking of how to carry you with your injured knee as he already took his helmet off your head.

Stella: Jimin...*sleepy*

He smiles and lets go as he sees you're awake.

Jimin: Hello,sleepyhead...

Stella: Mhm...We're home...
*looking around*
Well...actually in the underground parking lot of our apartment building...
Why didn't you wake me up?

Jimin: Well I know you're tired and you looked so peaceful...
So it didn't feel right to wake you up...
I was actually about to carry you...

Your chocolate brown eyes widen.

Stella: You were?!

Jimin: Yah...
But I'm still going to eventhough you're awake now.

He takes a step towards me.
I raise my hands.

Stella: Don't come any closer!!!

You yell almost losing your balance going to the right on his motorcycle.
You grab a hold of the handles balancing yourself.
He looks at you surprised and confused.

Stella: Uhm...I mean...
You don't have to carry me:)
You must also be tired,right?
I'll just walk.

He narrows his chocolate brown eyes a bit.

Jimin: Are you okay,princess? You're acting weird...

Stella: Yah,I'm super!:) I'm not acting weird. Why do you ask?

Jimin: Well...your face looks very red and you were groaning a lot in your sleep...

Stella: It is?!
I was?! O.o

Jimin: Yah,were you having a nightmare or something?

The complete opposite of a nightmare actually...

A dream I honestly kind of wish wasn't just a dream...

Stella: You could say that...
I had a dream that I was at work and business was booming!
It was good since there were a lot of customers and we were making a lot of money...
But there were only 3 servers including me...
I was running to everyone trying to give their food on time and also take orders.
But every time I thought I could rest I got called to go to another table.

Jimin: That does sound like a nightmare...
A very stressful one.
But...
Are you sure you weren't maybe having a dirty dream?:)

He asks with a smirk showing his dimple.

Jimin: You were groaning a lot...

Your eyes widen as you panic internally.

Jimin: Hey,I don't judge...

Stella: Are you crazy?! I wasn't!

I 1000000% was but obviously I'm not gonna say it!!!!

Stella: I just told you what I dreamt about...*looking down at the motorcycle*

Jimin: And I believe you...
I was just joking about you having a dirty dream...

You feel a little relaxed at those words.

Jimin: Or was I?
But I have to admit those groans...wow...
It sounded like she was having a good time...

Stella: Stop teasing me.
You already did enough of that*pout*

He chuckles.

Jimin: Fine...
Since you're very tired...
Probably from using a lot of energy in that dream of yours...
I'm going to stop teasing you.

You sigh relieved.

Jimin: Anyways...
We should probably get out of here.
And go show the others what we found today.

Stella: Yah,let's go...

I carefully move to get off the motorcycle and Jimin grabs my waist and helps me off.
I blush a little looking at him as he's still holding me eventhough my feet are already on the ground.
He chuckles letting me go.

Jimin: Come on,lioness~~~

I blush a little more before we both start walking towards the underground parking lot entrance.
We emerge and continue on.
Soon we enter the building and go into the elevator we use all the time as it opens directly infront of our apartment.
Not long after it stops and the doors open.
We walk out and Jimin takes the key that's on his keychain that is a lighting symbol with a fire symbol as they're connected and the key of his motorcycle and a few other keys hang from the lightning symbol.
As he puts the key in the keyhole I can't help finding myself staring at him as I'm waiting behind him while he works on unlocking the door.
He unlocks it and puts his hand on the handle before looking over his left shoulder at me smiling.

Jimin: It's open.
Come on.

You nod and blink realizing that you were staring.

Yah...I meant to stare but also didn't mean to;_;

Jimin opens the door a little more as you walk past him and into the apartment.
He enters afterwards turning on the lights before closing and locking the door behind him.

-In the livingroom-

Jimin: Hey...

You look at him.

Stella: Mhm?

Jimin: Since you sent me the video you should go rest a bit and I'll go get the guys and show it to them.

Stella: Okay...
Just call me once you're done.

Jimin: I will.
Goodnight,Stella.

You smile.

Stella: Goodnight,chick.

I head to my room taking off my backpack tossing it on the floor by my desk's chair before plopping down on my bed and taking out my phone.
I switch on my mobile data and then my phone starts buzzing like crazy!

Jungkook: Miss Stella?

You jump as you sit upright and see Jungkook standing next to your bed.
You breathe a sigh of relief.

Jungkook: Sorry for startling you.
Jimin hyung showed us all the video.
He told me to come get you...
We're all going to have a discussion now.

Stella: Okay. I'll be right there.

Jungkook waits as I text Hansol and Jen I have to go and that I'll keep them posted.
I get up putting my phone on Do not disturb and look at Jungkook.

Stella: Okay. Let's go.

You and Jungkook walk to the livingroom seeing all the guys there. None of them noticing you and Jungkook.

Jimin: I am telling you guys!
That guy was super annoying!
He called me SIR! I'm the second youngest of the seven of us! I'm not a sir!!!! Jin is! He's like 40 already! And then the guy also said I look like a baby!!!!!

Jin looks at him offended.

Jin: Excuse de moi?!?!? I'm turning 27 this year!!! Forty minus 27 equals 13!!!!! I still have 13 years left before I'm 40!!!! You idiot!!! I'll be the handsomest 40 year old too!!!!

Taehyung: Handsomest isn't a word.
The correct term is most handsome.
It's called degrees of comparison.
Handsome,more handsome and most handsome.
Not handsomest.

Jin looks at him even more annoyed.

Jin: I said what I said!
I'll be the most HANDSOMEST 40 YEAR OLD WHEN I TURN 40 WHICH IS STILL 13 YEARS AWAY!!!!*flailing his arms wildly and dramatically*

Taehyung: *sighing while rolling his eyes and rubbing his forehead giving up*

Jimin: But seriously! I do not look like a baby!!!!*pouting*

Yoongi: Well you do look younger than your age,Jimin...

Jin: TWO! SEVEN! TWENTY SEVEN!!!!!

Jimin: Whatever.
Not important right now.
The guy basically admitted to stalking all of us!

Jin: Oh! Obviously!
I mean I'm pretty amazing. Who wouldn't want to see me 24/7!
I hope he got my good angles if he took some videos and pictures to show his friends.

Jimin: I don't think he has any friends.
Anyways the guy is super creepy for that!
What normal person stalks people?!?!?!

Yoongi: The paparazzi?

Jimin's about to say something but thinks for a second.

Yoongi: They get paid to do it. It's their job.

Jimin: Whatever.
The guy was very annoying too.

Taehyung looks up from his book.

Taehyung: Jimin,I don't think anyone's really listening.

Yoongi: Actually...
I'm listening.

He says with a smile showing his chin dimple with his ginger hair moving a little.

Jin: I'm listening till I get an apology >:(

Jimin: Not going to happen.

Jin: Never in my twenty six years----

Hoseok: I'm listening too...

Stella: Me too:)

Jimin's eyes widen as he sees you.

Stella: I see Jimin's telling you all about the high school student that helped us a great deal by being creepy and sending us the video.

Taehyung smiles.

Taehyung: He's a high school student?

He laughs and claps his hands together.
He crosses his arms a big smile on his face.

Taehyung: I think Jimin forgot to mention that the guy is a high school student.
The fact that he's this annoyed by a high school student is just so priceless.

Namjoon: Everyone.

All of us turn our attention towards Namjoon.
A feeling of seriousness filling the room.

Namjoon: Right...so we all watched the video...
And now that Stella's here...

Stella: O.o

I'm sure that this is the FIRST time that he's saying my name.

The way he says it is very nice which is ironic with his attitude towards me.

With the way he says it you wouldn't think that he hates me if you didn't witness his attitude towards me with your own eyes.

Namjoon: We can discuss what we'll do next.
Either we take this video to the police station tonight and present it as evidence...
The only evidence we have so far along with Yoongi who witnessed what happened that day...
So we have evidence and a witness which is definitely a win for us...
A step in the right direction.
Technically speaking we have two witnesses,but we don't know anything about the guy that helped...
We don't know his name or where he even goes for school.
And from what Jimin said I doubt that he'd want to get involved any further in this...
So...
We have two witnesses but we only have Yoongi present right now.
It's still better than having no witness at all,but having that guy could strengthen our argument that those thugs deserve to rot in jail...
But we'll have to make do with only one witness.
The second option we have is to wait to see if there are more people who saw what happened but aren't saying anything.
Logically speaking the more witnesses the better...
But since tomorrow's Saturday and Taehyung informed me that the police said we need to hurry up if we want to stand a chance because those thugs will get released on this coming Monday so even if we present the evidence and Yoongi as a witness...
The police won't do anything after those thugs are out,because we had time to get evidence and witnesses and to present it all but our time ran out.
Both these options of course have pros as well as cons...
The pros of the first option is that we will have a good chance of winning with the video and Yoongi as a witness.
The downside is that we risk losing because the police can easily be bribed and then say that the video is edited.
Another downside being that due to having this video we have a chance to win but what if we lose because we thought we don't have to look for more evidence and witnesses? What then?
The pros of the second option is that we can keep the video while looking for more evidence and witnesses...
Meaning all the evidence will be safe with us.
That none of it will get tampered with because as stated before...
People can be bribed...
Including the police.
We can present the evidence and witnesses all at once...
And so then the police can go through everything without having to wait for more before time runs out.
But if we present everything too late like on Sunday night for example and the police will release those two at 12:00 Monday then since we got a lot of evidence and/or witness(es) the police won't be able to...

The way he talks is so hot...

And look at his hair and eyelashes...

His moles.

Wait...

I should be focusing!!!

Namjoon: Go through everything due to the time limit...
So if they first go through the evidence that doesn't make a huge difference and they don't get time to go through the evidence that actually matters and makes an actual difference by working in our favor...
If they can't do that before the time for the thugs to get released comes...
Then the police will stop taking statements from witnesses and going through the evidence.
The thugs will be free to roam the streets as normal citizens...
No charges...
Nothing...
The evidence will get destroyed since it's no longer "useful".
So we really need to think carefully before deciding...
But we need to make a decision soon.
We shouldn't and can't waste time.
So we'll do a quick vote by raising our hands.
Who votes that we go tonight?

All of us raise our hands.

Namjoon: Okay. There's no need to ask who thinks we should wait since we all agree to go tonight.
I think it's the best option to choose.
Anyways we'll be leaving in 10 minutes so go eat or drink something or do anything else until then.
You may all go.

Namjoon walks out of the livingroom and down the hall.

He sounded so commanding and sure of himself and everything...

I like it...

He definitely gives off leader vibes.

Hot yet cold leader vibes...

The others all leave and Yoongi looks at me.

Yoongi: Hey...

I look at him.

Stella: Hey...do you need something?

He shakes his head.

Yoongi: No,I don't.
I just wanted to ask you two things.

Stella: Okay.
Shoot*smiling*

Yoongi: Have you taken care of your knee as I asked?

You chuckle.

Stella: Yes,GC,I made sure not to break the contract I signed.

You say teasing with a smile.
Yoongi blushes a little.

Yoongi: Ah good.

Stella: Don't worry.
I experienced some pain and asked my boss for some pain pills since I forgot mine.

He looks at you as some of his hair jumps up from how fast he lifts his head.

Yoongi: What? You forgot to take your pain tablets with?
Why didn't you call me to come get you?
I told you that you could.

Stella: Y...yah.
I know but the pain wasn't that bad.
I didn't see it as necessary to call you and make you unnecessarily worry about me.
Plus your actually words were "Also don't strain yourself so if you feel tired or any discomfort then take a rest and then continue working when you feel better.".

Yoongi: I know,but I also said that you should call to call me,Jimin or Hoseok when you're really not feeling well so you could've called me.

Stella: Yes,but I wasn't feeling that bad.
And as said I didn't want to make you worry unnecessarily.

And also if I did call you then Jimin would've showed up at my workplace only to find I'm not there anymore.

I loved how he surprised me at work.

And I loved the surprise he planned.

If I did call you then he might have canceled the surprise all together because I came home early because of my knee and if I did that then Jimin and I wouldn't have laughed so much.

Had so much fun.

We probably wouldn't have met that boy and gotten the video in time.

Jimin's surprise also cheered me up and I loved it.

He put in so much effort and it would've been sad to know that he might have canceled everything because he wanted to make sure I wasn't putting too much pressure on myself.

It felt nice spending time with him like that.

Drinking wine,eating food,laughing
,chatting...

Yoongi: I know but you could've still called me...

Aw. Look at his face...

Stella: It's really okay.
I didn't want to bother and worry you unnecessarily.

Yoongi: You and I can't control my worrying about you.
Even when you didn't call I was still worrying...
I wanted to call you to ask if you were okay still but I didn't want you to feel suffocated...

You feel your heart melting a little.

Stella: That's really sweet of you,Yoongi.
But remember worrying so much isn't good for your health,okay?
I don't want you getting sick.
Mhm?

Yoongi slowly nods.

Yoongi: Mhm...okay...

Stella: T^T

Yoongi: *shy smile looking down*
A...anyways..
Just remember to take your own with in case she doesn't have any.

You nod.

Stella: So.
What was the other thing you wanted to ask?

Yoongi: Oh right.
I wanted to ask if you wanted some dinner and maybe some star fruit juice or maybe some of the star fruit smoothie I made.
I mean I'm sure you didn't have dinner yet.

You think back to the picnic Jimin prepared specially for you.
You smile.

Stella: Thanks but it's okay.
I'm not hungry right now.

Yoongi: Okay.
Just remember that everything is there if you're hungry,okay?

You nod.

Stella: Of course.
Thanks.

He smiles nodding.

Yoongi: Anyways.
I'll go to my room now and I'll be back in a bit when we'll all leave.
If you need anything or just wanna talk then you're more than welcome to come to my room*blushing*

You try not to smile as you understand that he's busy overthinking on how what he said sounded like.

Stella: Of course.
Thanks,CGC.

Yoongi: 🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅
Mhm.
Yah.
*quickly walks away*

I smile thinking back to how red Yoongi's face was just now before taking out my phone out to update Hansol and Jen.
I type out that me and the guys are going to the police station in 10 minutes.
While typing I feel someone breathing down the back of my neck...

Stella: *flashback to where Jimin was sniffing my neck in the dream I had*

Jimin: Boo!!!!*whisper*

I jump turning around and see Jimin smiling as he looks at me.

Ahhh!!!! It's Jimin! (//•//•//)

Jimin: I'm sorry for scaring you...
I just couldn't resist;)

Stella: *seeing snippets of THAT dream*

Stupid brain!!!! T_T

Trying to make me die at the young age of 21!!!!;_;

Jimin: You look kind of nervous...
Something bothering you?

Stella: Yah...
I'm nervous because I'm thinking what if the video and Yoongi as a witness isn't enough you know?

Jimin: I'm pretty sure you're lying...
And that your nervousness has to do with the dream you had about "work".
But those groans sounded different...
You know I'm good at reading people...
But I'm not going to say anything.
I'm going to let you believe that I believe what you're saying...
Which I'm pretty sure is a lie...
I mean you literally can't even properly look me in the eye right now.
Even earlier.
Don't worry about it.
We'll win and those thugs will rot in jail.

Stella: Yah...you're probably right...

You and Jimin both look towards the hall hearing footsteps.
Namjoon comes out followed by the others.

Namjoon: Ten minutes are up.
Let's get going,guys.

The car ride to the police station feels even longer than last time...
It feels like my stomach's tied into one big knot.
I close my eyes...
Taking deep breaths to calm my nerves.
Time flies by and when I open my eyes...
I see we're at our destination.

-In Seoul Police Station-

While all of us wait and I talk with Jimin and Kook.
Namjoon goes to the officer behind the counter and explains the situation.
While we continue to wait I look around and then my eyes land on Hoseok.
Hoseok's sitting on a chair as Taehyung's standing in front of him.
Taehyung's excitedly talking about something.
But Hoseok has a tired and sad expression and doesn't even look like he knows that Taehyung's talking to him.
Hoseok's looking at Jimin with sad eyes.
He looks like he wants to try and approach Jimin again to try and talk,but he looks hesitant and instead stays seated looking at the floor.
Jimin and Jungkook look and see it too.
Kook looks at me in a way like he's trying to tell me to say or do something.
Taehyung looks over his shoulder after seeing Hoseok's expression.
He sees Jimin watching them both with a blank expression as he doesn't say anything.
Taehyung turns back around as Hoseok continues to look at the floor.

Taehyung: Hey,I know you were looking at Jimin...
He's looking at you right now...

He says in a whisper and Hoseok's grey eyes widen a bit.

Taehyung: If you want to talk...
Then I suggest you do it now before we get called in...

He whispers.
Hoseok looks at him and gives a small nod.
But just as Hoseok's about to get up...

Namjoon: Guys.

Namjoon gets everyone's attention and Hoseok remains seated feeling that the opportunity slipped through his fingers.

Namjoon: The officer said we may go to the Chief of Police's office and present the video.

Officer Yeong: Hello,Miss Kim.

He says walking in with a friendly and welcoming smile.

Officer Yeong: I'm happy to see that you're all back. I was getting a bit worried since the time is passing by so fast.
I'm happy to hear that you all have brought us something that will help your case.
Now I'll be taking you all to the Chief of Police's office.

You all follow him and stop infront of the door of the Chief of Police's office.
Officer Yeong straightens out his uniform before knocking.

-Inside the Chief of Police's office-

The Chief of Police is standing behind his desk with his back to the door as he's staring out the window at the sky.

Chief of Police: Who is it?

He asks in his accent that's a mix of the Seoul one and the Busan one.

Officer Yeong: It's police officer Yeong.
Miss Kim has brought us a video to watch as evidence.
The guys that came with her before are also here.

He says from outside the door.

Chief of Police: Okay. Come in.

Officer Yeong pushes the door handle down and the door swings open.
All of us step inside.

The Chief of Police turns around and looks at us with his chestnut brown eyes and dark brown hair that's neatly combed back with a side part on the left side of his head as he crosses his arms.

Chief of Police: You're all here...

He says observing all of you one by one.

Hwan: I am Hwan Yang...
The Chief of Police.

We all bow our heads and introduce ourselves.

Hwan: I didn't expect you all to come here so soon.

I'm about to apologize and say that we shouldn't have just come and should've called beforehand but-

Hwan: You're all taking this very seriously...
As you should...
I'm very impressed by this.
I take my job very seriously.
And as you all know...
Time is of the essence...
You all should take a seat.

He gestures towards the couches and we all nod gratefully.
Some of us sit while others stay standing.

Hwan: Now give the video to officer Yeong and he'll plug it in.
And I'll ask you all nicely to be quiet when the video starts.
As said before...
I take my job very seriously.

I take out my phone unlocking it going into my gallery where the video is before handing my phone over to officer Yeong.
He takes it and walks over to a cabinet.
Taking out a USB cable.
He uses it to plug my phone into the flat screen tv's USB port.
He looks at Chief Hwan and nods.
The video starts playing on the screen.
I try not to look and Yoongi notices.
He takes my hand in his and gives it a gentle squeeze that I appreciate.
In my peripheral vision I see Namjoon and Jimin looking at us.
Namjoon just has the same blank expression as always while Jimin looks irritated yet sympathetic.
Before we know it the video ends.
All of us look at Chief Hwan as he scratches his chin looking at the screen.

Officer Yeong: What are you thinking,Chief?

Chief Hwan nods his head as he looks at us.

Hwan: I think you guys just won!
Those thugs won't be getting out of here soon.

All of us laugh and cheer.
Well Namjoon's just smiling a bit.
But it's still nice to see though.
And before we know it.
Jungkook runs around Hwan's desk and gives him a hug! T^T
Hwan's eyes are wide as he's completely frozen.

Officer Yeong: Uhm...young man...I wouldn't----

Jungkook: Thank you,Mr Yang!!!^^

Hwan laughs and pats him on the back.

Hwan: It's fine!!!

Jungkook lets go and smiles tilting his head with his doe eyes T^T

Jungkook: Mr Yang?

Hwan: Yes?

Jungkook: May I...

He puts his hands under his chin.

Jungkook: Please take some of those chocolates in that bowl behind you?^^

Hwan's eyes widen.

Hwan: Take anything you want!!!!

Officer Yeong looks completely stunned.

Officer Yeong: Does anyone know why Chief's acting like this? It's so out of character for him.

Namjoon: It's called the "Jungkook effect".
And it's definitely working on your boss...

Officer Yeong: This is so weird...
Chief doesn't even let me hug him because it'll ruin his suit! And he's never let me or anyone take some of his chocolates! Not even children!
I'm his best friend!!!!

Hwan clears his throat.

Hwan: I mean yes.
You may take some.

Officer Yeong continues to gape at him.

Hwan: So where was I?
Officer Yeong,please close your mouth.
Those thugs won't get released soon.
They are getting charged with the following.
Assault.
Battery.
Kidnapping.
Fleeing the scene of the crime.
Owning and using a firearm without a firearm license.
And of course using it for the wrong purposes.
Also may I ask who's the boy in the video that looked like he's underage?
He looks out of it.
I see that he has some powder on his high school jacket.
So he's clearly underage.

Stella: He actually followed us around...
He admitted to it but asked us nicely to ask you to not tell his parents about what he was doing.
He said it was his first and last time.

Hwan: He doesn't need to worry about that. I won't go after him. I was a teenager once too believe it or not.
It's good that he was there and made the video.
Oh yes.

He looks at Namjoon and Namjoon's chestnut brown eyes widen slightly.

Hwan: You're Namjoon...correct?

Namjoon nods.

Namjoon: That's correct,sir.

Hwan laughs.

Hwan: Please call me Hwan. Calling me "sir" makes me feel old and I'm not that old yet.

Namjoon: Okay,Hwan.

Hwan: I heard that you and some of these guys were the ones searching for those thugs.
And in the end the red head brought them in.

He says the last sentence looking at Hoseok before turning his attention back to Namjoon.

Hwan: But you tracked them down and everything.

Namjoon: It was a team effort...
I can't take all the credit.

Hwan: Determined and honest too.
Good,admirable qualities.
Very impressive.
We're in need of people like you.
So I'm offering you a job here. Part time if you prefer that instead.
I would be proud to have someone like you here.
We have training grounds here and everything.

Namjoon looks at him shocked.

Hoseok: Namjoon!!! You should take it!!!

Taehyung: You've always wanted to be a police officer.

Jin: Yah! Now's your chance.

Namjoon: I appreciate the offer...
But I'll pass...
I have a job as a security guard and I enjoy it.

Hwan: No problem. The offer still stands though so when you change your mind give me a call or come here.

He looks at you.

Hwan: Miss Kim,you can...if you want...
Go and see the two thugs.
Officer Yeong can escort you.

Stella: It's fine. I'll go alone.

Jimin and Yoongi are about to say something but you stop them by saying it's fine.

Hwan: Okay. They're in cell XX.

You exit his office and walk around a bit in search of the cell.
Not seeing Dean in a cell you walk by because he's asleep and you also don't know that he's being held in this police station.
After walking around for a bit more you realize you're only a few cells away from the cell of the thugs.
You walk over to it and stand in front of it.
But it's so dark that you can't really see anything.
You look for the light switch and find it.

It's not working...

I'll just use my phone's light...

I take out my phone and enable the torch feature.
And that's when I see it...
The thugs are dead...

-End of chapter 16-

After a roller-coaster of a morning and quite an okay day you've just discovered the thugs are laying dead on the floor in their cell when all you wanted to do was see them.
But now they're dead and the others are all clueless at your discovery.
How will things unfold at this discovery? Find out on the next chapter of Fate. Thanks for watching💙
