-24 February,Thursday-

It's the next day and you're asleep as you're on lunch with Hansol and Jen at the park.
Even Jiho's with since he has permission to leave school during break if he promises to be back before the bell rings.
You didn't get much sleep last night obviously and so understandably you're busy taking a nap on your lunch break.

Jen: STELLA!!!!

Hansol: Leave her alone! Let her sleep!

Jen: But I want to know what happened!
She said she'd tell us at lunch and now she's asleep!

Hansol: ...

Jiho: ...

Jen: Oh! Come on! Don't tell me you guys aren't dying to know!

Jiho: ..............

Hansol: I'm curious but she can tell us later.

Jen: Stella? Are you awake? Namjoon's here.

Hearing that makes you immediately come out of your deep sleep as you push your upper body up using your arms.

Stella: He is?! Where is he?!

You ask looking around wildly as your hair's a little messy as Jen's smiling.

Jen: Probably at work...

Your chocolate brown eyes widen looking at her.

Jen: Yah,I lied...*smile*
He's not here...
Sorry not sorry:D

Stella: You made me panick for a second...

You fix your hair as you sit comfortably.

Hansol: All I'm going to say is that whatever comes out of my sister's mouth take it with a pinch of salt.
Because of her I almost died yesterday!
By some miracle I'm still alive!

Jen: He's overreacting:D

Hansol looks at her.

Hansol: How would you know?
You were in the livingroom having tea while I pinned Hoseok.
Not intentionally I have to add...

Stella: You did?! O.o

He looks at you.

Hansol: Yep...it was embarrassing...
Jimin slipped and bumped into me and yah...
I really just wanted to dissappear at that point...

Jen: I know my dear brother was secretly happy...
If I didn't say anything then he wouldn't even have Hoseok's number right now.
The two of them are chatting a lot it seems.

Hansol shakes his head.

Hansol: No,we're not. I was just asking him questions like what styles of drawing he wants to learn and so on in case you've forgotten that you basically signed me up to be his drawing teacher without asking first;_;

Jen: Doesn't matter and don't make that face.
We all know you're not actually upset like you're acting you are*chuckle*

Hansol: You're mean.

Jen chuckles.

Jen: Anyways his phone was going off nonstop.
I think my dear brother should be thanking me instead and maybe reward me with a treat for being such an amazing little sister:3
Mango ice cream.
I deserve that instead of getting scolded by him like I did yesterday.
Afterall my little lies are helping him so don't I at least deserve a little something?

Hansol: No,you don't and also I didn't ask for help;_;

Jen: Yah,but clearly you need help and also we learned that eventhough you didn't ask for help if someone helped you then you at least thank them.

Hansol shakes his head.

Hansol: Not happening*crossing his arms being stubborn*

Jen chuckles shaking her head.

Jen: Anyways...moving onto you,Stel.
Anything happen when you went home yesterday?

Stella: Yep.
You have no idea...
A lot happened...
After what happened I didn't think there would be anymore surprises...
But...
I was wrong...
So...so...wrong;_;*feeling embarrassed*

Their eyes widen as you relay everything that transpired when you went home yesterday.
Needless to say they're listening to every single word you say.
Yep.
Even Jiho.

Hansol: Are there going to be any more unexpected surprises?!

He asks with his chocolate brown eyes so wide that it looks like they could possibly pop out.

Hansol: That's a lot to take in...
Like really a lot to take in...

You nod looking down a bit as you're understandably feeling embarrassed.

Stella: It is...
I'm honestly waiting for a bunch of people to jump out and say everything was just a big prank.

Jen: But!!!!

You guys look at her as she's smiling.

Jen: There are different positives to the situation...
You now know that Namjoon definitely has some feelings for you...
Especially with how he acted yesterday;)

Jiho: That's not necessarily true...

You three look at him.

Jiho: Just because someone acts a certain way towards someone...
It doesn't mean that they feel that way about that person.
Like I don't like parties,but that doesn't mean I hate people.
Maybe Namjoon is just trying to be a bit nicer that's all...

Jen: That's good and all...

She smiles.

Jen: But I prefer the one where Namjoon is starting to like Stella.

She looks at you.

Jen: I'm sure she does too!!!
Because my professional diagnosis is that!
You! Kim Stella!
You're suffering from Namjoon fever!!!

Stella: Namjoon fever? O.o

Jen: Yes!!!!
Its symptoms include heart palpitations,thoughts about Namjoon especially at random times,shaking from nerves around him.

She dramtically acts out the symptoms she lists.

Jen: And many more!
And guess what!
There's no cure!!!:)
So you're stuck with it!:D

Hansol: *rethinking his whole life*

Jen: And also!
Now you'll get to spend more time with him!!!
That's great!!!! Isn't it?!?!

Stella: Y...yah...

You look down as you answer.
Jen's smile fades and you feel the three of the watching you.

Jen: Hey,what's wrong?
Aren't you happy?
Namjoon is being nicer with you...
You're both...you know...
So you two will understand each other better...

Stella: Yah...I know...I am...happy...

Jen: I feel a "but" coming on...

Stella: But you guys know how he treated me before...
I just can't help but shake the feeling...
That he's only being nicer to me because of what we all found out yesterday...

Hansol nods understanding your point of view.

Hansol: I hate to say it...but it is possible...

Jiho: I agree...
People don't change their behavior that fast...
So what you and Hansol are saying...
It's possible...
Most likely...
Though I'm not saying that it is the case here...
It's just speculation...
Plus people are very complex...
Like have you read about how complex the human brain is?

Jen: Anyway...back to Namjoon...
I think that you shouldn't make assumptions...

Hansol: Says the queen of making assumptions...

Jen: Well sometimes making assumptions is needed.

Hansol: Mhm.
True.

Jen turns her attention back to you.

Jen: Stel,you're beautiful and talented.
You have many good qualities.
So don't think too much,okay?

I nod my head as I sigh.

Jen: Okay...that's it...

I raise my eyebrows at her.

Jen: You nod and say yes...but you really don't believe the words I'm saying...
Even Hansy and mini comp said you're attractive...

Jiho: Jiho...

Jen: Same thing.

Hansol just smiles as Jiho doesn't say anything back.

Jen: Back to what I was saying.
Even Jimin said it...and I'm sure others too.
And yet...you still don't believe it...
You really need to stop thinking so little of yourself...
And so as your friend who cares about you I'm daring you to get up and shout out the following.
I'm talent. I'm beautiful. I'm worthy.
Shout it out.

Your eyes widen.

Stella: No! I'm not going to do that!
People are going to think I'm crazy...

Jen: So?
Are you going to let their opinions stop you?

Stella: No?

Jen puts her hand on her hip.

Stella: I mean no!

Jen: Then do it. You're a badass demon lady...

She says whispering the word "demon".

Jen: So go on and do it...
Don't be shy.

Stella: Yes,I am!!!! I will do it!!!!

You get up completely determined.
And then it fades away as quickly as it came as you see all the people in the park busy with their own things.
You nervously look at Jen.

Stella: Uhm...on second thought---

Jen: Oh! No! You don't!

Jen says with a smile as she gets up and pushes you towards the people making you stumble as little but you regain your footing as she sits back down still smiling before you could even register.
You look at all the people as they're all preoccupied not even taking note of you.
You glance at Jen as she gives you a thumbs up as Hansol just shakes his head and Jiho munches on his sandwich.

Jen: Go on! You can do it!

Stella: Uhm...I am...I am...
I'm talent. I'm beautiful. I'm worthy...

You whisper the last three sentences as your voice squeaks a bit.
You glance at Jen shaking her head,but still trying to encourage you.

Stella: I'm talent. I'm beautiful. I'm worthy.

You shout out.
Everyone stops what they were doing and looks at you surprised.
I mean you just shouted so it's understandable.
You stand awkwardly not knowing what to say.
Until...
You feel someone behind you.
Their hold around your waist is firm yet gentle as their breath fans your cheek.
You turn around startled and see Jimin as he's wearing a smile on his face and wearing his yellow earrings as he does most of the time because they're his favorite earrings.

Jimin: Well...well...
Hello,beautiful;)

Did he just call me beautiful? O.o

I mean I know he calls me that since that's one of his nicknames for me...but...

I'll never get over him calling me that;_;

Jimin: Why do you look so surprised?
You're beautiful...
Haven't I made it crystal clear,lioness?*eye smile and dimple*

Stella: *feeling shy*

Jimin: And you're talent and everything...
I'm the one that should be surprised...
Because your beauty and talent is clearly visible so why do you even feel the need to tell people about it?
They should be able to see it...
If they don't then they should probably get some glasses or some new eyes.

He pulls you closer to him.

I don't know what's going on anymore!!!!

Is it Jimin being Jimin or is it because of him being in heat?!?!?!

OR MAYBE IT'S BOTH?!?!?;_;

Stella: Jimin...everyone's watching...

You say softly.

Jimin: Well...beauty should be appreciated,right?

Stella: *blush*

Woman 1: OMG!!!! Is he a model?!

Woman 2: He looks like a Korean idol!

Woman 3: Are they together?

Woman 4: It seems so...
They make a cute couple though.

Jimin: Well...

Jimin chuckles softly looking at you as you're blushing before he turns his gaze to the woman that asked if you two are together as well as the woman who says you two make a cute couple as he's still smiling widely.

Jimin: You're correct.
We do make a cute couple...

Stella: !!!!!!

Jimin: But...
Me and her...
We aren't together...

Woman 3: Oh! Can I get your number then?;)

Jimin: Well...you're pretty and seem very intelligent.

Woman 3: *blushing and giggling*

Stella: >:(

As you frown slightly you don't notice Jimin seeing your reaction.

Woman 3: So...you're saying yes?

Jimin: No...I'm not saying yes...

Woman 3: But why?

Jimin: You're not my type...
My type is right in front of me...
And I have to make sure I'm available for her when she and I get together.

Stella: *completely shocked*

Jimin: Thanks for trying though.

The woman walks away embarrassed and while you feel bad for her you feel a little bit happy inside at how Jimin responded.

I don't have any reason to feel how I'm feeling right now...but...

I just can't help it...

Jen: Ohhhhh!!! Things just got more interesting!!!!

You then realize that you're still in Jimin's arms with people still watching you two.
It makes you feel a bit shy.

Stella: Jimin...*soft tone*

He turns his attention back to you still smiling.

Stella: You can let go of me now...*whisper*

Jimin: Yah...I can...
*pulling you closer*
What if I don't want to?

You hear a few girls giggling and some older people saying how they wish to be young again as they watch you two.
You feel shy and place your hands on his chest and he chuckles.

Jimin: Fine...I'll let you go...for now...

He lets go of you.

Jimin: Though I would've preferred not to let you go...
But they do say that if you love something then you should let it go.

Jen: BEEEEEEEPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!

Stella: Uh...I...what...you...

Jimin: You're wondering why I'm here?

Stella: Uh...yah...

Great...just great...I can't even form a proper sentence now;_;

Jimin: Well...I'm on my lunch break and I was bored...
And so I decided to walk a bit and then I thought maybe I could come and see you...

Stella: Oh...

Jimin: I can honestly say that my boredom is gone now that I'm here with you...
But...uh...
I'm not bothering...am I?

You shake your head lightly.

Stella: N...no...you're not bothering...uhm...
Have a seat...

You sit down and Jimin sits next to you on your right.
All of you chat about nothing in particular but...
Jen,Hansol and Jiho obviously notice the tension between you and Jimin.
But you try and act oblivious as you take a sip of your coffee and then take a bite of your ham and egg sandwich which Yoongi made for you.
He actually took on making your lunches for you as he said he would.
As you continue eating you feel Jimin's eyes on you...but you don't dare to look.
But then you feel a warm hand brushing against your cheek.
Jimin turns your head to face him.
He then brushes his thumb against the corner of your mouth.
And then guess what he does!
HE LICKS HIS THUMB!!!!!

Jimin: You had some sauce there...
But I have to say it tasted nice.

Stella: O-oh...you want some?!
You can have some...here!

Jimin: Yah...I want some...but not by biting the sandwich...
Thanks for offering...but I already ate...

He turns his attention to the others.

Jimin: So...guys...

Jen,Hansol and Jiho turn their attention to Jimin.

Jimin: I'm just going to be honest with you all...
You all may notice that my behavior will be a bit different for a while...
*winks glancing at you*

Jen: No need to explain...

She says smiling.

Jen: We already know everything there is to know...
About the...situation.

You look at her panicked.
And Jimin just continues smiling at you.

Jimin: It's good you all know.
I thought I still had to explain it to you guys...
Not that I would've mind explaining...

Stella: *almost chokes on sandwich*

Jimin: Taehyung made and gave me this bracelet to help.

Jen looks smiling.

Jen: It looks nice...but...
What does it do?

Jimin: Well...
The bracelet contains some of Stella's scent...
The bracelet releases some of her scent if I get too angry.

He looks at you.

Jimin: But Stella probably already explained everything...*smile*

Stella: ( ' • • )

Jimin: Anyways...
So if I get too angry...then the bracelet releases some of her scent...
Which I love so much...
And then smelling her sent will calm me down.
But being near her is better than the bracelet.

Jen gives you a look as she smiles.

Jen: The bracelet was a smart idea...
But I think you should rather try to stay as close as possible to Stella...

You look at her with big eyes.

Jen: Afterall you did say that the bracelet is just a temporary replacement...
And that actually being near her would be better.

Jimin's smile widens a little.

Jimin: That's what I'm planning to do...
The bracelet could help calm me down but there's no guarantee that it'll work every time...
But if I were near her...
Then she could easily calm me down.
Plus I'd rather have the real deal than a bracelet.

You stutter as you try to think of something else to talk about.
And then an idea hits you as you look at Jiho as he's sitting opposite Jimin!

Stella: Jiho!!!!!

His nut brown eyes widen at being addressed so abruptly and loudly.

Jiho: Yes?

Stella: How's school and studying?!
Anything new?!

Jimin: Trying to change the subject...I see:)

Jiho's expression goes back to his usual neutral expression.

Jiho: It's the usual.
Nothing new really.

You all laugh and chat...
But the entire time...
You feel Jimin's chocolate brown eyes on you...
Not only that.
Every so often you feel his hand brushing against yours.
And every time that happens you see him looking at you.
And every time you look away and try to remind yourself that Jimin isn't himself.
That you shouldn't take any of this seriously.
All this continues for a while as you try try focus on the conversation.
But then something in the corner of your eye catches your attention as Jimin's smiling and still talking not realizing you're not paying attention as Jiho,Jen and Hansol listen to him.
You see a familiar in the distance...
Sitting on a bench.
Curiously you turn your attention to the familiar figure.
Only to realize who it is...

Only to realize that it's NAMJOON!!!!!
You stare at him not knowing what what do.
And well also dude is freaking handsome hehehehe.
He's busy reading a book.

OMG!!!!! What is he doing here?!?!?!

He'll see me and then think I'm following him...

Maybe I should hide?

No,last time I did he told me he knew I was hiding but ignored it.

If I did then it'll just make things weird and look like I'm following him.

Last time was so embarrassing so I'm not going to hide.

Plus this park is for the public and I'm not following him.

Jen,Hansol,Jiho and I come here every day for lunch...

With all that in mind why should I be scared and want to hide?

Yah,I'm not going to hide.

We were here first and we come here every day...

And this is the first time aside from the picnic that I'm seeing him here...

So I shouldn't be worried...I should enjoy my lunch.

But I have to say...not only is he a Demon prince...

But he's a very handsome one...and I love his haircut.

It sort of reminds me of the military...in other words...

The haircut makes him look more like a leader...

It gives him an even more intimidating vibe that commands everyone's attention when he enters a room...

But honestly.

He has my attention no matter what...

😶

What?! Don't judge me!!!!

I'm not judging XD.

;_;

So anyways back to what I was thinking.

He has my attention no matter what and he's very handsome.

But I see I'm not the only one who sees how good looking he is...

I see the same woman from earlier that tried flirting with Jimin as she's standing not far away from Namjoon with another woman.
She has porcelain skin,chocolate brown eyes and long,loose caramel dark blonde hair,pink lips.
She's wearing stylish clothing paired with gold earrings and a stylish pair of glasses.
She's my height as well.
Five feet and nine inches tall.
Or that's at least what I think.
Maybe she's an inch or two taller but I don't know.
Honesty she's pretty but I'm still annoyed with her.
I know. I know.
I don't have the right to be annoyed but I still feel annoyed,okay?=_=

Woman 3: He's pretty handsome...
I think I should try my luck with him.

Woman: 4: I agree. Go! And ask if he has a brother!

Woman 3: I will*laugh*

As you're staring Jimin realizes it and stops talking and his smile fades as well as he's wondering what caught your eye as you're clearly not staring at him because you're looking past him.
He turns and looks at what(or in this case it's who) you're looking at.
He sees you're looking at Namjoon...
He tears his eyes away and looks down...
Irritated...

Jimin: Why is he here?!?!
Fucking bastard!!!! First he treated her like shit then acted like her friend and now he's here...
Probably following her.
All of a sudden he's nicer to her now that we know the truth about her.
Whatever...he should just stay away from her...
Know HIS place.
I came here to spend time with her...
And I'm not going to let anyone ruin our time...
Even more so if it's the royal jerk over there.
He better just keep his distance.

Jen: Wow! Is that Namjoon over there?!

You snap out of your thoughts and see Jimin's expression.
You lightly touch his left hand as it's next to your right hand on the blanket you guys are sitting on.
He turns his head to you looking up at you surprised.

Stella: Are you okay,Jimin?

He smiles instantly.

Jimin: What kind of question is that?
Of course I'm okay...
I'm here with you so why wouldn't I be okay?

Stella: I-

Jen: Guys!

You look at her as her smile is wide.

Jen: I think someone should go and talk with Namjoon a bit.

Jimin: I don't think that's necessary.

Jiho: Acornhead is right.
He doesn't seem like he wants to be bothered.

Jimin: Still don't like you but thanks for being sensible this time around.

Jen still smiles as she looks at where Namjoon still sitting and reading his book.

Jen: Yah,but things aren't always as they seem.

She looks at you.

Jen: So I think Stella should go over to him and talk to him.

You jump a little in your spot.

Stella: Why me?!

Jen: Because both of you are...you know...

Jen draws imaginary horns and batwings on her head as she continues to smile at you.

Stella: Yah...but that doesn't mean that he'll welcome me with open arms when I go to him.

Jimin: Took the words right out of my mouth,lioness.
Exactly.
To put it nicely.

He leans back a little with his arms out behind him to keep him up.

Jimin: He's a bit of a grump.

Jen: And you're a bit jealous:3

He looks at you.

Jimin: I don't want him to spoil your mood...
So I think it's best you stay here...
Let him read his book.

He brushes his hand against yours and you feel light tingles.

Stella: Well...maybe I should---

Jen: Come on,Stel!

Jimin's smile fades as he's feeling a bit annoyed at how Jen's trying to get you to go to Namjoon.

Jen: You live with him in the same apartment...
At least go and say hi.

Jimin: I seriously can't just spend time with her without any interference...
First it was Blasol...
Then Harry Potter...
And now it's Kim freaking Namjoon and Jen's encouraging Stella to go up to him...
It's so annoying...

Stella: Fine...
But just for a minute.

Jimin: And now she's going and will probably spend the rest of lunch over there with him...
I came to see her.
I came to spend time with her but now she's going to see him and he'll get to spend time with her when he didn't even come here with the goal to see and spend time with her like I did.
So,so annoying.

Stella: Jimin?

Jimin: Mhm?

Stella: I'll be right back,okay?

A smile appears on his face.

Jimin: Okay...just don't take too long...

And again he brushes his hand against yours.

Jimin: Okay?

Stella: Y...yah...

You quick rise to your feet both from feeling shy because of Jimin and also wanting to go to Namjoon just to get it over with so you can come back asap.
You walk towards Namjoon.
As you walk you see the woman who asked for Jimin's number as she's standing infront of Namjoon...
Busy fawning over him as he continues reading like she's not even there.

Woman 3: Hello,Mr.Handsome...

Namjoon looks up from his book at her as he puts it down.

Namjoon: Is there something I can help you with?

Woman 3: Well...I was wondering if I could have your number...
You look very handsome and caught my eye immediately...

Says the one who was just trying to get Jimin's number a few minutes ago.

Woman 3: So may I please have your number?

Namjoon: I don't give my number out to people.
And I'm not looking for a relationship or anything.
So I'm going to have to say no.

Namjoon reaches for his book again and continues reading as the woman stands surprised and confused that Namjoon just flat out refused her.

Woman 3: You misunderstood...

Namjoon puts his book down on his lap crossing the arms over his chest as he looks up at her again from his seat on the bench.

Woman 3: I was talking about just hanging out...
Like friends.
Maybe you could invite some of yours too.
I'm free from Friday till Sunday.
We could go catch a movie...
Maybe go to the beach.

Oh hell no!!!!

You walk to the both of them as the woman's left side is facing you and she continues trying to convince Namjoon.

Namjoon: Thanks,but no thanks.
I'm busy from Friday till I don't know when.
I'm really busy.
I don't have time to just go out and do whatever I want...
Especially being a security guard and all...

Woman 3: Oh...you're a security guard?
Do you have a gun? What's your work like?

Namjoon: ...........

Woman 3: It's okay...we can go anytime that you're free.
I'll call or text you. So I'll need your number to let you know.
Ah oh yes...do you maybe have a brother?
If yes then you can bring him too.
The more the merrier afterall*smile*

Namjoon: You're bothering me.
I said no.
So please leave otherwise I'll have to use force which I don't want to do.

Woman 3: Mhm*giggle*
You're more than welcome to do that,Mr.Handsome...
I don't mind if you do...

As you watch the woman sliding her manicured hand along Namjoon's right biscep you feel yourself getting angry in your spot a bit away from them.
Luckily you have the bracelet Taehyung gave you otherwise you'd probably get so angry that you'd change and cause chaos.
You walk over and tap the woman's shoulder.
This causes her to stop.
Making her as well as Namjoon look at you.
You put on your sweetest smile as you look at her.

Stella: Hello,may I know what your name is?

Not forgetting that my parents taught me manners.

The woman puts her hand on her right hip looking at you with a not so friendly expression.

Woman 3: And you are?

But she clearly did it seems or who knows maybe her parents never taught her.

You continue smiling.

Stella: My name is Stella...
And you're bothering my friend Namjoon over here.
He told you that he's not interested and you're still bothering him.
Desperation is not a good look so learn to take a hint.

Namjoon's eyes widen as he looks down at the ground lowering his head for a second before his expression turns blank again and he looks at you through the corner of his right eye.

Woman 3: *scoff*
Look who's talking...
You're just his friend...
Just a friend...
Why don't you take a hint and mind your own business?
Interfering in a conversation isn't a good look.
I'm not bothering him.
You're bothering us.
Go! Shoo!

Did she just say "shoo" at me?!?!

Stella: Are you----

Namjoon lifts his head looking at the right side of her face as it's facing him.

Namjoon: Stephanie.

At the mention of her name she immediately turns to him.

Namjoon: Could you do something for me?

She places her hands over her heart.

Woman 3: Whatever you want...

Namjoon: Good.
Then stop bothering me or leave the park.

Her eyes widen.

Woman 3: But I-

Namjoon: And learn some manners and etiquette...
You don't say "shoo" to a person.
If I hear you say it to her again...
Then you'll regret it.
And I do have plans this Friday and this weekend.
Those plans involve that woman over there that you just tried chasing away like a dog.

Goshhh. I know I'm a woman but holy crap the way how he said the word referring to me is just so T□T

Namjoon: Even if I didn't have plans I wouldn't want to spend any of my time with someone like you who doesn't even have and understand basic manners.
If you can't even treat her right what should I have even expected if I said yes to you?
Learn dome manners and etiquette.
I'm not interested at all.
Do you understand?
Because I won't be repeating myself.

Jimin: What a show off...

You stand shocked as Namjoon defends you.
At the same time the way he says it makes your blood run cold...
But also makes you feel warm...
You smile as you listen to the woman sputtering...not knowing how to respond.

Namjoon: Are you just going to stand there or say/do something?
If you're done then you can leave so I can read in peace like I did before you came over here.

The woman immediately turns on her heels walking out the park as she drags the other woman with her.
You feel sort of proud that Namjoon defended you eventhough you didn't expect him to.
I mean who would've even expected it?
You look back to him only to find him reading again like nothing happened at all.
You stand there...silent...unsure of what to do or say as you look back over your left shoulder at the others.

Namjoon: Is there something you want to say or perhaps ask?
If so...make it quick.

He asks and says still with his eyes on the page he's reading of his book.
You turn your attention back to him and smile nervously.

Stella: Uhm...may I sit next to you? I mean...is that seat taken?

You ask looking at the spot next to him that's open on his right aka your left as you're standing next to it.

Namjoon: ......................
No,it's not...
Sit if you want...

He says with his chestnut brown eyes still on his book.
You smile as you sit down next to him...trying to calm your nerves...
Trying to think of what to say.

Namjoon: I can feel you staring at me...

Stella: !!!!!

Namjoon: Just tell me what you want...

Stella: I just wanted to say hi...

Namjoon: Hm...

You sit awkwardly trying to think of what else to say as he continues to read.
You then see the name of the book he's reading as you're leaning over your knees.

"The rule of king Han Kangmin".

I vaguely remember learning about him in school.

Stella: I see you're reading about king Kangmin,right?

You ask sitting up straight.
He lowers his book and looks at you nodding his head.

Namjoon: Have you read this book before?

Stella: Yes,I have.
I also heard that he had a daughter.
And his wife...the queen...
She died while giving birth to her.
But we didn't learn much about her.
The daughter.
I've heard her name before.
Serena...Selena...mhm...

Namjoon: Her name was Sena (pronounced See-na)...
You were very close...

You nod.

Stella: Yah,her name was Princess Han Sena.
I remember she was known as the type that she didn't think higher of herself than others just because she was a princess.
She was kind hearted and liked going out but her dad didn't like that...
He tried keeping her happy inside the castle,but she always snuck out somehow.
I mean I don't blame her at all.
If I were her then I would've done the same.

Namjoon: Yes,and her sneaking out made her dad upset because he wanted to protect her.
But she wanted to be free to do what she wanted.
To a lot of people she was known as "The Blue Rose".

Stella: Because she always wore her favorite hanbok.
The top half was blue.

Namjoon: Exactly.
But that's not the only reason why she was called that.

Stella: It wasn't?

He shakes his head.

Namjoon: It was also because she was different than other princess.
It may sound corny but it's what the books say.
A gentle nature.
Welcoming amongst other things.

Stella: She sounded like an amazing person.
I wish I could have met her.
I'm sure we would've gotten along amazingly.
Anyways.
Back to what I was saying.
It was said that she was to be married off,but her dad felt bad and canceled the wedding of her to Prince Jihoon.
The prince was filled with rage and murdered her in front of everyone in a fit of rage.
She was stabbed by him through the heart with a knife that was dipped in poison.
It's crazy what some people do when they're inlove...

Namjoon looks down before looking up again.

Stella: Or rather...
When they're obsessed.
Because what he felt was clearly not love.
That's not love...
He said he was inlove with her but then he murdered her just like that...
That wasn't love at all.
I just don't understand how his brain was working...

Namjoon: Some people are just complicated...

Like you...

Namjoon: There are just some things we'll never be able to understand...

You...again...

I don't think I'll ever be able to understand you.

And even if by some miracle I got the chance...

It wouldn't matter because of what we know is waiting for us in the future...

Stella: You're right...
I just feel bad for her...
I heard she used to love dancing and singing...
Especially in the rain...
I don't blame her.
The rain is beautiful and it's like it's washing all the bad things away...
Making room for the good things to come...
Her dream was to dance and sing...
She couldn't even do that because that pig killed her.

Namjoon glances at your hands as they're balled into fists and turning a bit lighter with how tightly they're balled.

Stella: Her life was just taken as if it meant nothing.
Her dad years later got married and had a son.
Everyone loved him but nothing ever filled the holes that Sena's murder left in their hearts.

Namjoon: Yah...

He picks up his book again and goes back to reading.

For a split second I could've sworn Namjoon looked sad...

It was probably just my imagination...

I let out a sigh as Namjoon continues reading.

I should probably go back to the others and let him read...

I get up catching his attention.

Stella: Uhm...I'll go now...
You can continue reading...

Namjoon: *nod*

Namjoon goes back to reading as I walk away.
But then I stop and walk back to him.
He continues reading as I stand in front of him.

Stella: Uhm...Namjoon?

He looks at you.

Namjoon: Yes?

Stella: You're sitting here alone...so maybe...
I thought that you'd might...want to come and sit with us.

You gesture to a smiling Jen,waving Hansol,blank faced Jiho and an irritated looking Jimin as they all watch you talking to Namjoon.

Namjoon: I'm fine here...but thanks for offering...

He goes back to reading.

Stella: Oh...okay...
If you're sure then...

I walk away feeling a bit disappointed as Namjoon continues reading.
Jen's smile dissappears as I sit down and Namjoon stays reading on the bench.

Jen: Hey,are you okay?

Stella: Y...yah...me and him talked about the book he was reading...
"The rule of king Han Kangmin".

Jimin's eyes widen a bit at the mention of the book.

Stella: After getting up I went back to him as you guys probably saw...
And invited him to come and sit here with us...
He said no and said he's fine over there.
At least he said thanks though...*sad expression*

Jen: Oh...that's okay...

Jimin smiles.

Jimin: Yah,don't let him spoil your mood.
You were just smiling a few minutes ago and I miss your smile.

You smile a little and Jimin smiles more.

Jimin: If he wants to sit alone and not come here then it's his loss...
His loss...and my gain...
You're finally doing something right,Kim Namjoon...
So don't worry about it.

Namjoon: Is there room for one more?

Jimin smile dissappears and you all look up to see Namjoon standing on Jimin's right.

Jimin: I don't know...it's already pretty----

Jen: Of course!

She says beaming.

Jen: There's more than enough room!
Come on! Have a seat.

Jimin glares at Namjoon as Namjoon walks behind his back and then behind you...
He sits down next to you on your left and opposite Hansol.
Congratulations! You're sitting in between Namjoon and Jimin!

He's sitting pretty close...

You think looking at Namjoon.

Jimin: Does he really need to sit that close to her?!?!?!
Seriously it's a park!!!!
Not a fucking cardboard box!!!!

Jen: Sweet,sweet tension is in the air...

She thinks still beaming.

Jen: Hey,Namjoon,how are you?
How's your day going?

Namjoon: My day's going fine right now...
And I'm doing fine...
Just thinking about Stella's training that's all...

Jen: Oh...that's good...that's great...
I saw that a few minutes ago some woman was bugging you.
Seems like she couldn't take a hint.

Yah,she really couldn't=_=

She literally said "shoo" to me like I'm some kind of dog.

No manners whatsoever.

Yes,I did force myself into a conversation that I wasn't part of which is of course rude but she was bothering Namjoon and it's not like I just went over to him because of that woman.

She was rude first.

I was annoyed but I still forced myself to smile and greeted her and asked her name because that's the polite thing to do.

Instead she gave me an additude.

You roll your chocolate brown eyes thinking of her as you're listening to the conversation between Jen and Namjoon at the same time.
Jen sees how you're rolling your eyes and the ends of her lips curl up even more.

Namjoon: Yah...she came up to me asking for my number...

Jen: Yah,I know...
We all heard.
Luckily Stella stepped in...
But I think you could've gotten rid of that woman faster by just lying by saying she's your girlfriend and Stella could've even given you a kiss to prove it.

You look at Jen...trying to silence her.
But to no avail.

Jen: Of course not on the lips but it would've made it more believe.

Stella: *just wants to poof*

Jen: I mean the lie would've been believable since you two do look like a couple sitting next to each other.

Jimin: Seriously! They don't look like one at all! Even if they were one!

He thinks as he's wearing an annoyed expression.

Jen: Right,Jimin? Do you agree?

She asks knowing exactly what she's doing XD.
Jimin looks at her dead in the eye with a blank expression.

Jimin: Mhm...no...
They look like older brother and sister.
They would never pass for a couple.
Me and her would though.
I mean some people here literally thought we were so.

He thinks feeling proud while still wearing his blank expression.

Jimin: Just being honest.

Jen smiles as Namjoon glares at Jimjn for a split second.
And you're trying not to laugh at the obvious jealousy that's in Jimin's words and voice.

Namjoon: I think we could actually pass as a couple if we tried.

Stella: !!!!!

Jimin frowns at Namjoon's words.

Namjoon: We have things in common and think alike so passing as a couple would be easy...

You guys chat while Namjoon continues to read his book...
Jimin still looks irritated at what Namjoon said...but Jen is enjoying the drama.
I mean who doesn't love a little bit of drama?:3

Stella: *shivering*

There's a slight breeze that causes you to shiver a bit.
Jen's smile fades.

Jen: Hey,Stel...are you okay? Are you feeling cold?

Stella: No,I'm fine----

Before you can even complete the sentence...
You feel someone pulling you into their arms.
And it turns out that it's none other than Jimin as he's smiling.
He has his left arm around your waist...pulling you closer.
He places his right index finger on the tip of your nose.

Stella: Jimin...what are you----

Jimin: I'm helping you warm up...

That's for sure;_;

Jimin: You're obviously feeling cold...
Even your cute nose is cold.

Jen looks to your left and smiles.
She gently nudges both Hansol and Jiho as she's sitting in the middle of them.
They both look to where she lightly nods her head.
Hansol smiles a little looking at her as he understands.
Jen smiles back and looks at Jiho but all Jiho does is continue to wear his blank expression and raise an eyebrow.
This makes Jen press her lips into a thin line as she lightly shakes head at Jiho while he goes back to eating his food.

Jimin: It's fine...okay...
I'll keep you warm...
I forgot to mention that I can change my body's temperature as I want.
So if you're still feeling cold then just tell me.

Stella: *tiny nod*

Jimin's smile fades as he look past you with a frown.

Jimin: And you? What do you think you're doing?

Out of curiosity you look.
You obviously see Namjoon but as you look down you see that he has taken off his blazer and is holding out to you with his right.
His expression blank as usual.
Of course it surprises you.

Today he's really full of surprises huh...

At Jimin's questions Namjoon retracts his arm and places his blazer on his lap.

Namjoon: She looked cold and so I was about to put my blazer over her shoulders before you even realized she was feeling cold.

Jen: True.
Me,Jiho and Hansy saw it.
He was literally staring while holding out the blazer and Jimin pulled Stel and so on.
He was STARING.
He was holding it out the entire time since she looked cold and it really looked like he was hoping she'd notice but then Jimin distracted her.

Jimin: You don't have to worry about that...
I'll keep her warm...
She's my best friend afterall...

Namjoon puts his blazer back on.

Namjoon: Okay...I was just trying to help...
Plus her training starts tomorrow...so she can't get sick right now...

Jimin/Jen: You keep mentioning her training-/ From what Stel said you keep mentioning her training-

Jen and Jimin: You make it sound like you can't wait for tomorrow to come.

Jimin/Jen: I don't like the sound of
that>:(/ I really like the sound of that:D

Jimin: I know that...
You're stating the obvious...
We know her training is tomorrow.
You don't have to mention it every second.

Namjoon: I don't mention it every second.
He's just adding it in.

Jen: He's defo jealous right now XD
*having a freaking blast*

Jimin: Just focus on your book and I'll take care of her,okay?

Namjoon nods.

Namjoon: Sure...

As Namjoon says that Jimin pulls you closer to him...
As he pulls you in you sit in front of him.
Between his legs with his hands on the sides of your shoulders as he's wearing a smile while you're looking down to your right and your legs are infront of you.

Jimin: Mhm...are you feeling warm enough?

And he pulls you even closer.

Stella: Y...yes...

Jimin: Your body temperature is rising again...so that's good...

He leans in to your left ear.

Jimin: I could heat things up even more...

Stella: *shiver*

Namjoon: *deep frown watching*

Jimin: You're still shivering...
*pulling you even closer*

In your peripheral vision you see Namjoon as he watches you two.
Looking somewhat annoyed...
Now why...oh...why does he look annoyed?:D
Time goes by as Namjoon reads while glancing at you and Jimin like every 2 to minutes XD
You're actually getting quite comfortable in Jimin's arms.
Like leaning into him even more and him holding you tighter with your back against his chest.
Oh...and it seems there's some jealousy coming from Namjoon as he watches you in Jimin's arms...looking content.
I can't forget to mention that now can I?:3
More time goes by and you all say goodbye and head to your respective work places and Jiho goes back to school.
But before you all left.
Of course Jimin obviously got down on one knee and kissed your hand making you shy.
Namjoon just gave you a nod as his lips were pressed in a thin line watching how Jimin was kissing your hand.
You nodded back and he left.
Soon Jimin left as well telling you to enjoy the rest of your day.
You said the same to him as you were blushing the whole time.
He walks off throwing a wink at you and you waved shyly to him making him smile a bit more as he walked off.
Of course Jen teased you a teeny bit making you blush even more and Hansol smiled rolling his eyes at his sister and Jiho was just watching silently.
The three of them left and you left as well.
The day goes by in a blur and before you know it it's time to go home.
As you get home you eat,do your usual bathroom routine,put on lotion,put on hand lotion,get dressed,hang your underwear in your sash bottom right window's handle and go to bed immediately.
You get off work at 15:30 every day aside from if Isabella says otherwise.
You sleep as the rest of the afternoon goes by and changes into the night and eventually changes into the morning of the next day.

-25 February,Friday-

You wake up to see that it's morning already.

Mhm...the sun's up already...I want to sleep some more but I should get ready for work...

Plus I slept really early yesterday.

I'm surprised the guys didn't come to wake me.

You stretch and yawn getting up feeling sleepy as you get yourself ready for work.
Just as you're putting on your shirt you hear a knock at the door.
You tell the person to enter as your back is facing the door while you're busy spraying your hair and brushing it.

Stella: I'll be right there,Yoongi...
I'm just fixing my hair and I'll go to the livingroom in a bit.
I was really tired yesterday and honestly I was surprised that none of you came to wake me.
But it's fine.
I needed the rest.
Especially for today.

You don't get a response.
It makes you nervous wondering why you're not getting a reply from him.
You finish tying half of your hair up into a ponytail.
Leaving the rest to hang loose.
You put on your cap pushing and pulling your ponytail through the hole you usually use when you make your signature ponytail.
You then turn around to look at Yoongi.
Only to find that it's not Yoongi at all unless Yoongi has shape shifting powers or something.

Stella: Namjoon-n?
What are you doing here? Where's Yoongi?
Did something happen?

You ask worried as you look around the room.

Namjoon: No...
I came to wake you up for breakfast and...also to remind you that your training starts today but it seems I didn't need to remind you as you yourself remembered which is good.
As for Yoongi...
He's busy making breakfast.

Stella: Okay...so he sent you to come get me...

Namjoon: No,I came here myself.
He didn't send me.
No one did.
As I said I came here to remind you of your training and thought why not kill two birds with one stone by waking you up for breakfast as well.
*busy admiring you from behind his shades*

Stella: Oh...

The way he's looking at me...

It's making me nervous...

Like even with the shades...

It doesn't make his gaze less intense...

Namjoon: And also to remember to take a hairtie to tie your hair up for when we start your training later today...

Dude. She already has a hairtie in her hair XD

Namjoon: You're going to hurt and sweat a lot today so having your long hair out of your face would be good.

Stella: Sure...

Girl. You literally just used a hairtie and put it in your hair.

Namjoon: Okay then...let's go have breakfast.

You all have breakfast and then head to work.

-The Basket Café aka your workplace-

You're busy cleaning up the tables.
Half the day is already almost over.

I just don't understand how some people just waste food like this.

They barely touched the food and then dared to complain...

Saying the food is tainted and that they want their money back.

We can't give the food to other customers as well because of germs.

Some people are just weird.

I guess I should throw this out...

You pick up the tray of food and drinks and feel a tap on your left shoulder.

You turn around and see your boss.
Isabella.
She has a warm smile on her face as she usually does.

Stella: Hey,what's up?

Isabella: Just wanted to see how you've been doing.
You've been working hard since you came here.

Stella: Oh. I'm doing great. Just cleaning up the tables then I'll go on break.

Isabella: Oh yes...that's what I wanted to talk about too.
I have to go and help my dad.
You know how dads are...
They work,work and work.
So I'm planning to go to his workplace and have a fun day out with him.
And I was hoping that you could maybe lock up the café today.
You can even lock up now...
I mean all the customers are gone and the café will close in 2 hours anyways so then you could leave earlier if you want...
Plus it's Friday so...

Stella: That's great...I hope you have a nice day with your dad.
And sure...I'll lock up the café.
I'll inform my co workers when they all get back from break.

Isabella: Thank you so much!*dimples*
Also help yourself to anything you want.
You can even take some home.

Stella: Oh! Really? Thank you so much!

Isabella waves at you as she runs out and drives off.
You get rid of the food and drinks and continue cleaning the tables and sweeping as break drags on.
Soon break is over as you're still cleaning and your co workers come back ready to get back to work.
As they do you inform them of how Isabella said you can lock up already and that everyone can go home.
This makes your co workers happy and you tell them all they can go if they want and that you'll leave soon and lock up.
They thank you and take their things before saying goodbye and waving to you.
You wave to them.
Time goes by.
After you're done cleaning you go to wash your hands in the ladies bathroom and then head back to the counter where customers order/collect their food.
You take one of the white boxes and take a few pastries for the guys,but of course you don't feel right just taking eventhough you got permission so you weigh the box after closing it,put on a sticker with the café logo,name and so on on as well as the price and put the money in the cash register.
You take the box and put it in your backpack before slinging it over your shoulders.

And then you check that everything that needs to be off is off.
Afterwards you head out.
You lock up the café for the day.
You make your way home as you let the cool breeze blow against you as you continue humming while walking.
You hear a motorcycle stop right next to you.

Unknown: Hey,beautiful...need a ride?:)

You hear a familiar voice.
You smile a little and laugh as you stop and turn to your right to look at the person.

As you look you see Jimin on his motorcycle as he's wearing a bright red leather jacket with prints of golden flames. He's smiling at you.

He loves wearing leather and honestly it really looks good on him.

Especially red,yellow and gold.

I guess they're just his colors.

Jimin: So what's the answer,beautiful?*eye smile*

Well...I am in a playful mood today...

Plus...I don't know if it's Jimin talking,his heat or both...

But I think that I do deserve to have some fun,right?

Stella: Mhm...I don't know...
My parents taught me to never take rides from strangers...
And you're handsome...
A handsome stranger...
But you're still a stranger...

Jimin smiles more.

Jimin: Really? Not even a handsome stranger? One that's planning to make you your favorite coffee?

Stella: Well...

You slowly walk over to him.

Stella: Maybe you're an exception...

You say softly as you reach your left hand out brushing your fingers over his left hand as it's holding onto the left bar of his motorcycle.
He looks at it and then at you.

Stella: I mean my parents didn't say that I shouldn't take rides from handsome strangers who'll make me my favorite coffee...
Plus I can make my own decisions...

You say as you continue to brush your fingers over his left hand.

Jimin: Lucky me then*smirk*

He hands me my helmet and I put on as he patiently waits and watches.
I walk along his bike feeling his eyes on me and my hand as it slides from his hand and up his arm before settling on his shoulder as I get on the back and put my arms around his waist.
He looks down at my hands over where his abs are hidden underneath his shirt.
I can feel his abs and back moving as he breathes in and out.

Jimin: Lioness...

You look at him over his left shoulder.

Stella: Yah,Jiminie?

He turns his head a little to the left looking at you through the corner of his eye.

Jimin: I know this is random but...
I think one day we should go dirt biking some day...
I wonder how you'd look in motorcycle gear...
I could teach you too.
It would be fun.

You blush a bit.

Stella: Mhm.

He lets out a chuckle.

Jimin: Hold on tight!!!!:)

The two of us speed off down the road towards home.
We get home and Jimin parks his motorcycle and turns it off.
We head inside the apartment building taking the elevator up to our floor.
The elevator doors open and Jimin locks the door.
I give a grateful yet tired smile as I walk in past him and he locks the door behind him.
I sigh feeling tired as my back is towards him.
He turns around to face me and I hear his footsteps bouncing off the tiles as he walks over to me.
He leans over my left shoulder placing his hands on the sides of my shoulders as he looks at my face from the side.

Jimin: You go to your room.
I'll be there in a bit,okay?

Stella: Mhm*tired*

I turn my head looking at him in his chocolate brown eyes.
He lightly squeezes the sides of my shoulders and kisses my left cheekbone before pulling away and letting go with a smile.
I blush a bit as I smile back and start making my way down the halls going to my room.
I get into my room closing the door behind me and walk over to my bed.
I practically collapse face first onto it with the lower half of my body over the edge of my bed and I'm still wearing my backpack and cap.

Stella: I need a nap...

You take your backpack off and cap and throw them near the end of your bed.
You kick off your shoes as you're too lazy to take them off.

I need a nap:(

I do deserve one afterall..

Once Namjoon comes home we'll be off to start my training...

I'll need all my energy...

You close and open your eyes two times.

Just 15 minutes...

You fall asleep on your bed and eventually you're laying completely on your bed.
Not with half of your body hanging off the side like before.

Unknown: Hey*shaking your shoulder to try and wake you*
Wake up...it's time to get up for training.

Stella: *groaning* Just a few more minutes*yawn*

*GRAB*

Stella: Ah!!!!!

You open your eyes and see Namjoon in front of you...
And he's firmly holding you around your waist keeping you upright and on your feet.
He's wearing a very serious expression.

Stella: N-Namjoon?!
What---- Why----

You guys hear the sound of someone running.
You both look as Jimin makes a sharp turn and runs into your room.

Jimin: Stella!!!! Are you okay?! I heard you----

His expression immediately changes to annoyed as he sees Namjoon holding you.

Jimin: What's going on here?

Stella: Uhm...I don't know...I was about to ask the same thing...

Jimin: What are you doing in her room,Namjoon?!

Namjoon: I came to wake her up for training.

Jimin: Then why are you holding her like that?!
Does her training include a different way of waking her or something?!

His eyes flashes between red and brown multiple times before settling on his crimson red eyes.

Jimin: Let her go right now...

Namjoon: No...

What the heck?! O.o

He looks at you as he's still holding you firmly around your waist.
You feel a bit flustered looking up into his chestnut brown eyes through the shades he's wearing.

Namjoon: Not until she tells me herself that she's fully awake...

I'm awake now!!!!! How can't I be?! God.

I'm so gonna die;_;

Namjoon: Every minute is being wasted right now...
We could've already started your training.
Have you even prepared all your things you'll need?
Like food and water?

Stella: N...no...I...I fell asleep as soon as I came here...

Namjoon sights looking down.

Stella: But I can do all that right now...
It'll only take a few minutes----

Namjoon: That's not needed.

He says with a blank expression.

Stella: What? But you just----

Namjoon: Luckily Yoongi and I already prepared everything beforehand...
Or well I asked him to but when I did he was already busy.
*sigh*
So are you awake now?

Stella: Yes...*very soft*

Namjoon: I can't hear you...

Jimin: Namjoon...

Stella: I said yes...

Namjoon: Good...

He holds onto you for a second longer before he lets go of you and you step back.
He crosses his arms over his chest looking at you as you're trying to calm your racing heart.

Namjoon: Take a shower or do something because we'll be leave in 15 minutes.
Don't take too long...
The longer you take the longer you'll train so make it easier on yourself and be on time.

Your eyes widen a bit and he turns to his right and leaves your room immediately...
Leaving you and Jimin alone...
Jimin watches the doorway with a frown.

Stella: Well...that...was interesting...

Another interesting thing is how I somehow didn't faint T_T

BUT SERIOUSLY THOUGH!!!! HOW DIDN'T I FAINT?!;_;

He looks at you as he's still frowning and his eyes are still red.

Jimin: Yah...very interesting...

Stella: He's even more intimidating now...
Making me think of a sergeant or something...
*fighting dirty thoughts*

XDXDXDXDXDDDDDDD

Jimin: Yah,but don't let him intimidate you,okay?
You're a demoness and he's a demon.
He's nothing special.

He says still frowning.
You don't say anything.

Jimin: Anyways...go take a quick shower.
I'll be in the livingroom.
Also I made your coffee and brought it but saw you fell asleep.
It's on your desk.

You nod and Jimin exits your room.
You quick take a shower and skip putting on lotion and sunscreen.
You get dressed but do put on your hand lotion and spray and gulp down the mug of cold coffee before heading to the livingroom.

You see all the guys there and that Jin,Yoongi,Hoseok,Taehyung and Jungkook's hair are dyed.
Jin's is dyed jet black.
Yoongi's is dyed a deep red.
Hoseok's is dyed raven black aka Namjoon's natural hair color.
Taehyung's is dyed silver and Jungkook's is dyed jet black like Jin's.

Namjoon: Great! You're on time. That's a great start.

He looks at Hoseok.

Namjoon: We can go now,Hoseok.
You're coming with...
The rest of you will stay here...
The less people there while she trains the better...

Jimin: I don't like the sound of that.

Namjoon: Less distractions...

He says glancing at Jimin.

Jimin: And I also definitely don't like the sound of that either.
Just making decisions while it's HER training.

Namjoon reaches for you but then---
Jimin appears blocking him.
Namjoon looks at him.

Namjoon: What is it?

Jimin: I'm coming with...
And that's final!
Don't even try to argue.
I know how you are when you train.

Yoongi: Yes,Jimin should go with...
Make sure she eats and everything.

Namjoon looks at him.

Namjoon: Fine...
He can come with...

Jimin: I would've gone with even if you said no.

Namjoon looks from Yoongi to him.

Namjoon: But if he does anything that interferes with her training.

His expression turns serious.

Namjoon: Then he'll come back here and wait till her training for the day is done.
It's her first day and it's really important so I won't tolerate interference.
Do you understand?

Jimin glares at Namjoon but nods his head.

Namjoon: Now if you could just move out of the way...
I can teleport me and her...

Jimin: Who says you're taking her?
You can teleport with Hoseok and I'll carry her and use my super speed.

Namjoon: Either you listen to what I say and come with or you don't and you stay.
Remember what I said.
It's your decision to make...
It would be better if you didn't go with.
You're already making us waste valuable time...
So you better make a decision fast because I'm not going to wait on you.

Jimin balls his hands into fists.
You see them and feel a bit worried.

Namjoon: Plus eventhough she still doesn't know how to teleport because she'll need to learn how to use her powers first which she could've been doing already.
It'll be smarter if she came with me instead because I will teleport me and her and she'll get to feel how it is to teleport.
Plus with how you are right now I'm not taking chances.
Keep in mind that she's a demoness and not a vampiress,Jimin.

Jimin backs off but still stays close to you.
You feel relieved.

Yoongi: Here*chin dimple*

He says with a small smile as he's holding out a medium sized picnic basket.

Yoongi: Food,water,star juice,star smoothie,towels...
Basically everything you'll need to make training easier.

You take the basket with a smile.

Stella: Thank you,CGC😄
You're an angel...

Yoongi: *chuckle*

You let the basket hang from the bend of your elbow and you walk over to Namjoon as he has a serious expression and he puts his arm around your waist...pulling you to him...

Stella: *blush*

Jimin glares at Namjoon as he looks at how he's holding you.

Namjoon: Comfortable?

Stella: Y-yes...

Namjoon: Good...we can finally go then...

Namjoon: Since this will be your first time...second time teleporting...
And you're awake and aware...
I'd suggest you close your eyes since you might feel a bit nauseous and light headed afterwards.

You nod your head.

Yoongi: Good luck!!!! You'll do great!!!!

Jungkook: We believe in you,Miss Stella!!!^^

You smile as the guys encourage you and you put your hands on Namjoon's chest closing your eyes as his hold on you tightens a bit.
Namjoon teleports you and him.
The only solid thing you can feel is him and obviously the basket but I mean let's not focus on that right now XD.
Everything else fades away...
As if your surroundings are shifting...
Melting...
It feels like forever that you and him are the only two solids as you keep your eyes closed the entire time.
And then your feet touch ground.

Namjoon: You can open your eyes now.

You lift your head opening your eyes and see Namjoon looking at you as he's still wearing his serious expression.
His arm still around your waist...
His hand on your hip.
You look at the ground.

Jimin: You two are on solid ground now...

We look up to see Jimin sitting cross legged in a tree as he's looking down at us.
He silently gets up and jumps down from the tree and lands on his feet making a sound ring out.

Jimin: So I think you can let go of her now...

Namjoon: ........................
*silently lets you go and looks around*
Where's Hoseok?

Hoseok: Right above you...*heart smile*

Namjoon looks up.

Namjoon: Oh...there you are...

You look up at the sky to see Hoseok flying as he's smiling.
His feathered wings shining in the light of the sun.
He lands and his wings dissappear.

Hoseok: Are you feeling okay?

Stella: *nod*
I'm just wondering where we are...

Namjoon: We're on an uninhabited island...

You look at him.

Namjoon: This is where we've been training since we got assigned to you.

You try to keep your expression the same hearing the word "assigned".

Namjoon: No one ever comes here so we train here...
Especially using our powers.
It's definitely a good decision to train here...
People don't come here and we don't want even more people knowing of our existence.
Anyways...
You can take off your bracelet now and transform...
You can hand it and the basket to Hoseok.
He'll keep it safe.

You take off the bracelet and hand it as well as the basket to Hoseok.

Namjoon: Now all you have to do is change fully and we can start.

Stella: ......................
Uhm...how do I do that?
I mean I don't even know what I did earlier with my partial transformation so...

Namjoon: Hm...okay...easiest way I can explain it is...
Imagine you're a caterpillar.
You're in your cocoon and now you're a butterfly...
Ready to emerge from your cocoon and fly away.
Just try that and really focus...
And it should work...

He says the last glancing at your head where your horns and batwings should appear when you've fully transformed.
You close your eyes...trying your hardest to focus.

........................

Stella: Uhm...is it working?

Hoseok and Namjoon glance at each other as your eyes are still closed and Jimin's silently watching not wanting to interfere.

Namjoon: No,it isn't...

You open your eyes and let out a sigh.

Namjoon: Hey,we haven't even started yet...
You can't feel tired and like giving up already....

Jimin: Yes,she can!

I spoke too soon😅

Jimin: She's just learned not too long ago that basically her whole identity was a lie...
So loosen up a bit and cut her some slack.

Namjoon: You're being disruptive...
I know what I'm doing okay...
I've taught many other demons how to use their powers...
So stay quiet or leave.

Jimin stays quiet as Namjoon continues to look at you.

Namjoon: Close your eyes again and really try to focus...try to relax...

You close your eyes.

Namjoon: Just try and relax...

You keep your eyes closed...trying your hardest to focus and relax...

Namjoon: Don't force it...but also don't put in just a little bit of effort...

You take a deep breath...trying to focus...
You continue inhaling and exhaling with your eyes closed...
But nothing changes...
You open your eyes again and sigh.

Stella: It's not working...I can't do it.

Namjoon: You can do it...
You're just not trying hard enough...

You feel your anger rising as Namjoon says those words.

Stella: Not trying hard enough?!?! Oh?! I'm not trying hard enough!?!?! Huh?!
It's so easy for you to talk!
So,so easy!
It's not-

Namjoon's eyes widen.

Stella: Like you just found out you're not human at the age of 21!
Do you seriously think I'm not trying?!
That I'm half assing it?!
You have no fucking idea how hard I'm trying!!!!
I'm tired,okay?!
You guys watching me!!!!!
And especially you saying that I'm not trying hard enough isn't helping at all!!!!!

You continue yelling as Hoseok whispers to Namjoon looking surprised.

Hoseok: Namjoon,are you seeing what I'm seeing?

Namjoon wipes his surprised expression and it gets replaced with his serious one as he whispers back to him.

Namjoon: Yes,and it's giving me an idea...

Namjoon clears his throat as he looks at you.

Namjoon: Well...honestly it really seems like you're not trying...
Not even putting in a bit of effort...

You continue yelling at Namjoon and then you see him smiling.

*THUMP*

But then his smile fades and gives way to an annoyed expression as he looks to his left as you all hear something fall to the hard ground.
There's also some screaming.

Jimin: HELP!!!!!! HELP!!!!!!

You and Hoseok turn to see Jimin sitting on the ground...terrified and shocked.

Jimin: HELP!!!!!! It's going to get me!!!!

You all look at the ground and see an angry female squirrel...

Jimin: I'm sorry!!!! Mrs. Squirrel! I didn't know that's your house!!!-
AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! GET IT OFF!!!!!!!!! GET IT OFF!!!!!!

The squirrel jumped onto Jimin's head causing him to panick and run around super fast in circles.
But the squirrel holds on as she claws as Jimin.
You just stand confused as Namjoon shakes his head and Hoseok laughs.
After a while the squirrel leaps from Jimin's head and into the tree that Jimin's facing.
Probably thinking "That'll show him!!!!"XD
Jimin lays on the ground...looking st the sky...not saying anything.

Stella: Jimin?! Are you okay?!

Jimin: All I was doing was lean against the tree and saw a hole in it...
I was kinda curious and so I looked into it...
Not even reaching into it mind you...
I mean how can you expect me not to look into a hole.
And then the squirrel tried clawing my face off...

He turns his head and lifts it up looking up at you as his head stays down.

Jimin: So no...
I'm not okay...

Hoseok: And this is why you should be aware of your surroundings...

Jimin: Ugh...

Jimin gets up dusting himself off while Namjoon continues to look annoyed.

Jimin: What?

He asks looking at Namjoon.

Namjoon: Your screaming just made us lose progress we just made!!!!!
Stella was about to transform fully and you ruined it!!!!!

Stella: Woah....I was? Really?!?!?

Hoseok: Yes,you were half fully transformed.
If Jimin hadn't scream then Namjoon's plan would've worked...

He says smiling.

Stella: Plan? What plan?

You ask looking at Namjoon at he's busy tapping his sunglasses with his index finger in annoyance.
He looks at you crossing his arms.

Namjoon: The plan that I figured out would work since you were busy transforming as you were yelling...
And so I was trying to anger you some more so you could transform completely...
But then Jimin screamed and then you...
Changed back into your human form...
And so now we have to start all over again.

Jimin: Are you saying this is my fault?!?!?!

Namjoon: Well...it is your fault.
You screamed and it distracted her.
It's as simple as that.
Anyways let's start again...
But this time we'll try making you angry a different way since I won't be able to anger you...
Honestly I'm not good at doing that...

Jimin: Lie.

Namjoon: So my plan is that you should think of anything and everything that makes you feel angry...

You close your eyes.

Namjoon: Take a deep breath...
Think of something that you know will anger you...
As soon as you feel the anger...
Try and feed it...
Try making yourself even more angry...
Focus on that anger and try holding onto it...
And then release all of it simultaneously.
Do you understand?

You nod your head as you take a deep breath...
You dive deep into your memories...
And think of how the police just gave up on your mom...
How your dad fell into depression and you had to handle everything...
How your parents lied to you...
How you have family out there somewhere...
How you wasted a part of your life with that cheater Leo...
How you still love him...
How he's probably forgotten you and is with someone else or even multiple women...
How he insulted you...
How Namjoon treated you before and now he's all of a sudden a bit nicer to you but you feel that it's not genuine.
That it's just because you're both demons.
You continue thinking of things that anger you...
As the anger builds you feel your body shaking...

Namjoon: You're on the right path...
Just focus on all that anger...
Don't let it go just yet...
Let it build more...

You continue to think...letting your anger increase...

Namjoon: NOW!!!!!!!!

As you hear Namjoon shouting you release all your anger in one go.
You open your eyes.
You turn to see Hoseok giving you a smile and a thumbs up.

Stella: Did I actually do it?!

Namjoon: Yes...you did...

He says softly looking at your horns and batwings before looking into your eyes.

Jimin: Wow!!!
🎶Stella is awesome!!!!🎵
🎶Stella is cool!!!!🎵
🎶So so cool!!!!🎵

Namjoon tears his gaze away from you with a bit of effort as he looks his left where Jimin has been this entire time.
But obviously he's not standing near the tree where the squirrel came from.
I'm sure he doesn't want to get attacked again XD.
Jimin sings busy waving around his right hand as his left hand is on his left ear.

Jimin: 🎶Namjoon's teaching her eventhough he's such a tool🎵
🎶But that's cool because at the end of the day Kim fucking Stella rules🎵
🎶While others drool🎵
🎶She's the queen Bee of this school🎵
🎶Because she rules while others drool🎵
S.T.E.L.L.A!!!!!!!!!!! What does that spell?!

Hoseok: The squirrel is back!!!!!

Jimin's eyes widen and he immediately runs and jumps on a tree as he looks around to try and spot the squirrel.

Jimin: Where is it?!*looking around wildly*

Hoseok: Probably sleeping...

Jimin looks at him.

Hoseok: I lied about the squirrel being here again...
Your singing was giving me a headache and so I Iied about the squirrel to shut you up!:)

Jimin frowns.

Jimin: Seriously?!?!?! I WAS ON A ROLL WITH MY SINGING JUST NOW!!!!!
AND YOU RUINED IT!!!!!!

Hoseok: Well your singing was ruining my ears so....:)

You let out a laugh as you look at them bickering.
Namjoon looks at you through the corner of his eye.

Stella: Hey,Jimin!:)

He turns looking down at you from his spot on the tree.

Stella: I think your singing was great!!!!

He smiles.

Stella: Especially when you sang to me that night...
Two weeks ago...

Namjoon looks down a bit annoyed.

Stella: It really helped me sleep...
You have a great voice...

He lifts his left arm and bends it infront of him before bowing.
He stands back up.

Jimin: Always happy to help a beautiful lady in need...

Stella: *laugh*

Jimin: You can come and ask me to sing for you whenever you want...
Anytime of day...

He squats.

Jimin: Even at night if you want.
Remember it,okay?

Stella: Y-yah...

Namjoon: Enough chatting...

Jimin's smile fades as he looks at Namjoon and you turn your attention to Namjoon.

Namjoon: We have work to do...

He says looking at you obviously annoyed.

Stella: O-okay...

Namjoon: So next we're going to---

Your vision starts to blur as you feel dizzy.

Namjoon: We're going to...
Hey,are you okay?

You clutch your head as everything around you spins.

Stella: I'm fine----

Namjoon's eyes widen as you step backwards tripping over a rock.
All of them look at you surprised as you brace for impact.
But then you get caught just in time.
You look up and see Namjoon as everything continues to spin.

Namjoon: Hey,are you okay? Are you feeling dizzy?

He asks as his eyes are wide and his lips parted.
You nod as everything keeps spinning.
His expression turns serious.

Namjoon: Okay...you need to sit down...

Namjoon helps you sit down as everything continues spinning.
Namjoon leaves as Jimin leaps down from the tree.
He sits down infront of you and holds onto your shoulder.
Trying to help you.
You feel all the dizziness dissappear.

Namjoon: Here...

Jimin looks at Namjoon and you look as well.
You see Namjoon with a serious expression holding a sandwich out to you with his right as the sandwich is wrapped at the bottom where he's holding it...

Namjoon: I don't think you've really eaten today,right?

Stella: I got distracted at work...

Namjoon: Still not an excuse...
You knew your training was going to start today...
I even warned you beforehand about how tiring and draining it will be so you could prepare yourself...

Stella: *sigh*

Namjoon: Just eat a bit of the sandwich...
Get something in your body at least...
Training on an empty stomach especially for beginners isn't good.

Namjoon holds out the sandwich towards you...
Gesturing at you to take a bite.
You nervously put your left hand on the back of his right and lean in to take a bite.

Stella: ............................

Namjoon: Do you think that will be enough?

Stella: No...

Namjoon: Then eat some more...

You two a few more bites as you feel Jimin watching as Namjoon feeds you.
He looks annoyed to say the least.
You look at the ground as you take bites then chew and swallow.
Namjoon leans closer and brushes his thumb along your bottom lip.

Namjoon: Okay...
I think that's good for now...

Namjoon wraps up the sandwich.
He hands you the sandwich.

Namjoon: Make sure to eat something before training from now on.
It's not a request.
Understand?

He says and asks still wearing his serious expression.
You nod your head.

Namjoon: Good...

He gets up looking down at you as you're lightly playing with the wrapped up sandwich looking down.

Namjoon: Also I think we should take a break for 10 minutes...
Transforming and hiding our true forms drains our energy...
So make sure to eat something...

Stella: *nod*

Namjoon: Also transforming will get easier the more you practice.
So be sure to give your all in training...
Especially today...

He walks past Jimin as Jimin looks over his shoulder watching.

Namjoon: Make sure to relax...
You only get 10 minutes.

Namjoon sits down under a tree...
Taking out a book while Hoseok leans against a tree...seemingly deep in thought.
Jimin turns his attention back to you.

Jimin: Are you feeling better now?

Stella: Yah...I'm okay...

You say softly glancing at Namjoon as he's reading.

Stella: I'm sorry for worrying you...

Jimin squats and pats your shoulder.

Jimin: It's fine...
Just take better care of yourself...

He smiles softly.

Jimin: Because if you don't...

His eyes turn red.

Jimin: Then I'll do it for you...

Stella: !!!!!!!

Jimin: Got it,lioness?

Stella: Yes...s...

His red eyes dissappear and so does his smile.

Jimin: Great. Now let's relax a bit before your training starts...
Namjoon doesn't go easy when it comes to a lot of things...
Especially when it comes to training...

Stella: Yah...I've realized that ( ' • • )
Let's sit and chat a bit over there.

You say getting up and point to a few boulders under a tree.
Jimin looks and then looks back at you with a smile.

Jimin: Okay...let's go.

He walks away and you follow.
Hoseok continues to lean against his tree with his arms crossed over his chest and his right leg bend with the bottom of his right foot resting against the tree as he's looking up at the sky.

Hoseok: ..........................

Just then his phone beeps.
He pushes himself up from the tree and reaches into his pocket for his phone.

Hoseok: Who could it be?
It's probably the company...
This anime series is our biggest project yet...
They're probably going to tell me to practice my lines or something...

His eyes widen as he pushes the botton on the side of his phone and the screen lights up.

Hoseok: It's not the company at all...

He looks back at the screen and swipes up unlocking his phone.
He taps on the notification going into WhatsApp.

Hoseok: He went offline...mhm...
Guess I'll see him on Sunday then...

He goes out of the chat and app putting his phone away.

Hoseok: Didn't get to ask what time though...

He smiles looking up at the sky.

Hoseok: I can just ask him later though...

-A bit ago-

You looked in Hoseok's direction seeing him typing.
And then putting his phone away and smiling while looking st the sky.
Jimin notices you looking and watches too.
He looks at you.

Jimin: Hey,are you okay? I see you're looking at Hoseok.

Stella: Yah,I'm just wondering who has him smiling like that.
Maybe he has a crush or something.

Jimin smiles and starts laughing with his hand over his mouth.

Jimin: Him and a crush?*laugh*

He stops laughing.

Jimin: That's not possible,lioness...
Hoseok is the working type and not relationship type.
You know how old we all are...
Hoseok hasn't once shown any interest in dating.
Of course he's tried and went on dates,but he just wasn't interested.
It's probably a message from his company or something.

Stella: But who knows.
Maybe it's someone who might have stolen his heart.

Jimin: Yah...maybe...but it's not likely...
If that person does exist then I'll do whatever they want for a week.
Anyways...we still have a few minutes left before your training...
I'm going to take a walk around the island...
Do you want to come with?

Stella: But...

Jimin: We won't go far...
And I'll keep you safe,okay?

Jimin gets up extending his hand towards you as you're still sitting cross legged on the smooth slab of stone.
You smile...playfully rolling your eyes at him as you take his hand.

Stella: Fine...I'll come with...
But we have to be back before the time is up...
Namjoon is even more intimidating now...
I don't want him to get angry when we come here late...

Jimin smiles.

Jimin: Don't worry about that...
We won't be late...
And even if we will be then I'll deal with him,okay?

Jimin holds your hand gently as he leads you away.
Namjoon silently looks up from his book and watches you two go.

Namjoon: ......................

You and Jimin walk...exploring the island...
Jimin hasn't let your hand go once...
Not even for a second.
He leads you as you follow him.
Jimin smiles and turns to you as you two slow to a stop.
You watch as he looks up at the sky and trees.
Taking in everything he sees and hears.
After a few seconds Jimin looks at you...
Sensing you were looking at him.
You feel caught and look away.

Jimin: *chuckle*
Are you enjoying yourself?

Stella: Yes,I am...

You smile as you tuck your hair behind your ear looking down.

Stella: I'm happy I came with you...
I needed this...
I'm feeling a lot better now...thank you...chim...

Jimin smiles at your words and the new nickname you just gave him.

Jimin: I'm happy you feel that way...

He leans in...
He brings his right hand to your head...
His other tilting your chin up...
You feel his fingers gently brushing against the front of your left batwing.
It moves a bit at his touch...
Causing you to shiver...
You feel his eyes on you as you look at the ground embarrassed...
He chuckles and then backs away.
You look at him as he smiles.

Jimin: You had a lead in your hair...

He shows the leaf.

Stella: Oh...uhm...thanks...

Jimin: Mhm...
We still have some time left...
Do you want to walk some more?

Stella: Sure...

He takes your left hand again and leads you further...
You two walk into a field full of red apple trees along with lots of other fruits...
Strawberries,blue berries and many more...
And rows of trees with yellow flowers as the petals glisten in the warm sunlight.
Jimin turns around...smiling at you...
The sunlight highlighting his features in a golden glow...
You bend down to pick up an apple to eat that's on the ground but still in good condition.
But then you feel Jimin's hand on your right shoulder...
You turn your head to your right looking at him as you're still bent over holding the apple in your hand.
Jimin shakes his head and smiles.

Jimin: Don't eat that...

You cock an eyebrow at him as you drop the apple.

Jimin: I'll get you an apple...

He turns to his right and walks forward going towards the apple trees.
He looks up at the apple trees in front of him.

Jimin: Mhm...

He continues to look at them silently.
He whips out a dagger.
He jumps into the air.
Cutting the apple that caught his eye loose in mid air.

Wow...it looks like he's flying...

He lands on his feet...
Dagger and apple in hand.
He takes out a red silk cloth and carefully wipes the apple clean before putting the cloth back into his pocket.
He walks back to you and faces you.
He smiles holding out the apple to you.

Jimin: Your apple,m'lady...

You giggle as you take the apple from him.

Stella: Thank you...

You bite into the apple as you enjoy its sour yet sweet taste...

Jimin: How does it taste?

Stella: Delicious...

You take another bite happily as Jimin smiles.

Jimin: Seems I did pick the right one then...
That's good...

He takes a strawberry and uses his dagger to slice it.
He eats it piece by piece as you watch...
You gulp as you watch him lick the dagger clean.
He opens his eyes...seeing you staring...
He gives you a playful smirk as you look away.
He walks closer to you...
Plucking a small strawberry...
And popping it in his mouth with the wider half of it sticking out.
He smiles and raises his eyebrows at you as if challenging you.

Jimin: You were watching...
So I thought you might want a taste...

You blush and look away holding your apple...
Feeling his arms snaking around your waist.

Jimin: Do you want to?

Your heart hammers in your chest as you listen to him.

He's...he's just joking...that's all...

Bu...ut...I actually want to try...he wouldn't expect me to do it...

This way I could teach him a lesson for all the times he's made me feel shy...

Like right now...

I put on my most confident smile as I lift my eyes and look at him.
His grip on my waist tightens as I put my arms around his neck...
I wink at him earning a chuckle from him.
I bring my right hand to his left cheek as I lean in.
I slowly bring my lips to the strawberry as I pull Jimin closer to take a bite.
I bite off half of the strawberry...
Eyes closed...
Jimin chews and swallow...not breaking eye contact as my eyes are wide from surprise and I drop my apple not expecting this to happen instead of what I expected would happen.
He smiles at me as we feel each other's breath on our lips.

I can't help but admire him though...

His curious,chocolate brown eyes that most of the time has a mischievous glint...

His soft 2b wavy hair...

His moles and small freckles...

His cute crooked front tooth...

His pink,plump...very kissable lips that are always smiling at me...

Jimin's eyes turn red and he leans down to the right side of my neck as he turns me gently and pushes me back making me walk backwards.
He pushes me against the tree that's behind me...
I feel his breath and fangs on my skin...
Making me shiver...
My arms still around his neck...
His hands on my hips...

Jimin: Stella...

The way he says your name giving you butterflies...
Yellow petals from the flowers fall as the wind picks up a bit as if emphasizing the intensity of the situation and the feelings you're both trying to control within you.

Jimin: I'm sorry...

You feel a bit confused at why he's apologizing to you.

Jimin: I...I...can't...I can't hold it anymore...
I...need you...
I want you right now...I want you so bad..

You blush and he buries his face in the left side of your neck as you feel his tongue on your neck...
You let out a gasp.

Stella: Ah...

Followed by a moan...

Jimin: Your skin...
It tastes...so good...

Jimin kisses your neck as you try to stay quiet...
Feeling like everything is spinning...
You can't think straight as he lightly bites your skin...teasing you...
Causing you to arch your back...
He smiles as he continues leaving trails of kisses on your neck...
You bite your lip...trying to stay quiet as you tilt your head to the side...pulling his head closer...
Your breaths come out as shaky...your legs feel numb...
You're only still standing because of Jimin and the tree...
You let out soft moans and groans as he kisses your neck...

*THUMP*

His eyes widen as you push him away...
He looks at you surprised and confused...

Jimin: Stella...are you okay?
Was I moving too fast? We can go slower---

You shake your head violently as you look at him apologetically.

Stella: J-Jimin...I'm sorry...

Jimin: No...no...hey...we can go slower...
We don't have to rush...
It's fine...

Stella: Jimin...we can't do this...
This isn't right...
You could get into trouble...
You're not in your senses right now...
And I...
I still have feelings for Leo...
I feel like I'm cheating...

Jimin: Stella...

Jimin takes a step closer to you and brings his left hand to your right cheek...

Jimin: Don't worry about that...I'll be fine...
And...
You're not cheating...
He cheated...
You two haven't been together for over a year now...
This isn't cheating...
You don't have to feel guilty about it...

You shake your head...brushing his hand away as you try to stop yourself from crying...

Stella: Jimin...please...
It does feel like it...
I still love him...

Jimin: ...

Stella: I hate that I do...
But because I still love him it does feel like I'm cheating...
And...
You say you'll be fine but...
I already lost my mom...please...
I know I'll lose you and the others soon...but please...
I can't do this...
I'll be risking losing you all sooner...
I'll feel guilty...

Jimin: But...

Before Jimin can complete his sentence...
Your shoulder bumps against his pushing him back as you turn and run past him...
He turns reaching out his hand as you run.

Jimin: STELLA!!!!! PLEASE WAIT!!!!!

You don't listen and continue running leaving Jimin behind as tears roll down your cheeks.
You run as branches whip past your face...
You're only focused on getting back to Namjoon and Hoseok...
Your tears blur your vision causing you to almost trip on an exposed tree root.
You catch yourself and lean against a tree...
Trying to catch your breath and looking back to see if Jimin's following.
He's not following you...
You lean against the tree...
Clutching your chest...
Trying to calm yourself...
After a while you calm yourself and spot a small creek...
You walk towards it and look at your reflection.
You let out a sigh as you get down on your knees and reach your hands out into the water...
Washing your red tear stained face...
You take a few breaths and get up...trying to compose yourself...
You walk in the direction of where Namjoon and Hoseok were...
You spot them and put on your most convincing smile...
Hoseok's looking down with his arms crossed.
You enter the clearing and Hoseok uncrosses his arms as he looks up and spots you.
He looks surprised.

Hoseok: Stella?

Namjoon's tapping the middle of his sunglasses that he's wearing as he's looking down.
He stops as the mention of your name catches his attention...
He's not smiling.
His face isn't blank either.
He's obviously not happy.

Hoseok: Stella,are you okay?

Namjoon: Where were you?!

Your eyes widen as Namjoon snaps at you.

Stella: I-

Namjoon: DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW LONG YOU WERE GONE?!?!?!
THIS ISLAND IS UNINHABITED BUT IT STILL HAS DANGERS LURKING IN THE SHADOWS!!!!
YOU'VE BEEN GONE FOR OVER AN HOUR!!!!!
I WANTED TO SEARCH FOR YOU BUT HOSEOK TOLD ME TO WAIT!!!!
YOU MAY BE A DEMONESS BUT YOU CAN STILL GET INJURED!!!!
YOU'RE NOT INVINCIBLE!!!!!
DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW WORRIED----

He stops and looks at the ground...
You feel shocked at how Namjoon just yelled at you...
You feel shocked and not angry or hurt...
Because you can hear,feel and see that he was worried about you...
You feel bad as you watch him with a frustrated expression on his face.

Namjoon: Where's Jimin?

He asks still looking down.
Your mind flashes back to what happened...
You feel guilty rise within you...
Guilt for making Namjoon worry...
Guilt for how you pushed and ran away from Jimin as he tried calling you back...
You take a breath as you answer.

Stella: He got hungry so he went hunting...
I wanted to come back and he told me the way back and went off.
We lost track of time...I'm so sorry...I didn't mean to...

Namjoon looks at you...examining your facial expression.

Namjoon: Stella...your training isn't some game...
It's very serious and needs to be taken seriously.
You lost track of time and wasted my time,Hoseok's time and time you could've trained and improved...
Could've maybe even easily been able to teleport already...but now you can't because you didn't pay attention to the time.
I've been trying my best to help you,but you don't seem to care at all.
To be interested at all.

You lower your eyes silently as Namjoon continues talking...
You see Hoseok looking at you with an apologetic expression.

Namjoon: You know what...
I tried...
That's it...
I can honestly say I tried...
That I tried my best.
You know...
No one asked or forced me to help you with your training...
No one asked or forced me.
Not Jin! Not Yoongi! Not Hoseok! Not Jimin! Not Taehyung! Not Jungkook!
No one!!!!
I decided to help you out of my own free will.
No one or nothing persuaded me.
But I can't help you if you don't want to be helped...
I'm not going to waste my time here...
You can decide to stop training and I will respect your decision.
It's your life afterall...not mine...

You shake your head.

Stella: Namjoon...I'm sorry...please...
I do want to learn...I want you to teach me...
I didn't deliberately stay away for so long...

Namjoon's eyes widen as a tear rolls down your cheek as you look at the ground...
You wipe at it angrily as you look at Namjoon.

Stella: I want you to teach me...
I promise I'm taking all this seriously...
I'll take it even more seriously from now on if that's what you want...
*sniff*

Namjoon sighs and looks at you.

Namjoon: Hey,don't cry...

He reaches into his tracksuit pant's pocket.

Namjoon: Here...

You look at Namjoon's hand to see him holding a dark blue silk handkerchief with purple and red patterns on it.
You look at it for a second and then take it...wiping your face.
The handkerchief smells like him.
You thank Namjoon and extend it back to him.

Namjoon: You can keep it for now...
Just give it back tomorrow.

You nod your head and hear rustling in the bushes...
You three look and see Jimin emerging...
He has a blank expression.
He looks at you and you immediately look away.
Feeling guilty and ashamed.

Namjoon: Are you done with your hunting yet?

He tears his gaze from away you and looks at Namjoon.

Namjoon: Stella said you went hunting...

Jimin: Oh yah...

He smiles lightly.

Jimin: Yes,I'm done...
Have you guys started training yet?

Namjoon: No,but we're about to.
You and Hoseok sit down so Stella and I can start.

Jimin nods and goes sitting next to Hoseok.
You turn your attention back to Namjoon as he crosses his arms.
He looks calmer than he did earlier when he was yelling at you.
You feel Jimin looking at you from where he's sitting with Hoseok on the side.

Namjoon: Okay...so you already know how to transform so now I will show and tell you how to make fire come out of your hands.

Stella: Fire!? I can make fire?! This reminds of me Avatar.
They have different people controlling the elements.

Namjoon: Yes,you can control and produce fire...now focus.

Stella: Sorry;_;

Namjoon: *small smile and chuckle*

Stella: O.o

Namjoon's smile dissappears as he coughs.

Namjoon: Sorry...I had something in my throat...

Sureeeee you did*maniacal laugh*:3

Namjoon: Okay...so let's begin.
To produce fire...
I'll tell you again to use your anger...
It seems that works for you...
*clears throat again*
So imagine you're a volcano...
The pressure builds up and you erupt.
It's as simple as that.

Namjoon snaps his fingers and a ball of fire hovers above his hand.
You look at it amazed.
You follow what Namjoon said and snap your fingers.
A small ball of fire appears but fizzles out almost immediately.
The corners of his mouth lift up for a split second but you don't notice as you're looking at your hand where the fire ball appeared and fizzled out.

Namjoon: Mhm...good attempt...
Also you don't have to snap your fingers...
It's about preference...
Now try again.

You nod and try again and again and again...
Each time you get better and better at it until you have one fireball on each hand...
The size of your palm...
You ball your hands into fists and as you do the fire balls reduce in size until they fizzle out.

Namjoon: Great...

You smile at him as you feel proud of yourself.

Namjoon: Now we'll move onto throwing them at the trees.

You look at him with wide eyes.

Stella: But we'd be destroying them...

Namjoon: Yes...
But it's okay...
Hoseok will fix them.
It's part of his powers so don't worry...
Just watch...

You nod as you and Namjoon walk closer to the trees facing where you and Jimin sat earlier and your backs are to Jimin and Hoseok.
Namjoon gets into position with his left leg bent infront of him and his right behind him.
His torso turned to his right as his arms are on his right.
His left hand's palm facing up and his right hand's palm facing down as he looks ahead at the trees with a serious and focused expression.
You see a fireball growing bigger between his hands...

Namjoon: And now release it before it gets too big because you might lose control if you don't...

*BOOM*

*FIREEEEE AND BURNING NOISES*

You jump back in surprise and amazement...watching the tree burn that provided you and Jimin with a bit shade earlier.
It collapses and you feel bad watching.
But then it starts raining...

Stella: Rain?

Namjoon: Yah...it's part of Hoseok's powers...
Same with Yoongi.

You see Hoseok extending his hand towards the tree.
The ground begins to shake and then stops...

Hoseok: And done...

He says with a proud smile.
You turn to see the tree as good as new.
You look at Hoseok with a smile as you're happy and impresssed.

Stella: Wow!!!! That was amazing!!!!

Hoseok: Thank you.

You turn your attention back to Namjoon...
Seeing in your peripheral vision that Jimin's watching you.
Namjoon crosses his arms.

Namjoon: Now it's your turn...

You look at him surprised.

Stella: My turn?!

Namjoon: Yes...
Dont worry too much...
Just follow the steps I told and showed you and you'll be fine.
I'm right here.
Just focus.

You nod and gulp as you turn and walk closer to the tree.

Namjoon: Don't stress too much...if you do...it'll affect your performance...

You nod as you take position and aim your hands towards the tree.
Two fireballs appear and they get so big that they merge.
You allow the fireball to grow big...
A bit too big...

Namjoon: It's too big for you!!!! Let it go!!!

You panick and let it go.
The fireball was so big that it decimated a dozen trees.
Don't worry.
The squirrel's home isn't one of them XD.
You turn to Namjoon slowly feeling a little unsure and nervous as he's looking with his eyes wide and mouth hanging open at what you did.
He slowly turns his attention back to you as he's still wearing his shocked expression.

Stella: Uhm...sorry...

You say the last word softly as your voice squeaks a bit saying it.
Namjoon wipes his shocked expression and shakes his head before crossing his arms over his chest.

Namjoon: No...that was.............good...

Your eyes widen slightly.

Stella: Really?

Namjoon: Yah...just go easy,okay?

You nod with a smile and the trees continue to burn.
Namjoon turns his face away as his face turns red.
Wonder why XD.
Namjoon tells you to fire again and you do.
He then tells you to fire at this and that tree...
He does it fast and you try your best to keep up.
Namjoon stops looks with his arms crossed as you bend down...panting...

Namjoon: Okay...next up we have hand to hand combat...

You stand up and look at him with a confused expression...

Stella: Namjoon...why do I have to learn that when I can control fire and shoot fire balls?

Namjoon: There are a number of reasons like if you're being attacked by multiple people...
Then you can't use your powers because you'll get exposed...
So knowing hand to hand combat...
It's very helpful.
Okay...first explanation and then we'll fight to see if you get it.

Stella: I have to fight you?!?!?!
I don't want to...

Namjoon: It's a part of training...
You won't be fighting fighting me you know.
But you will be fighting me though.
Understand?

Stella: Uh...yah...I think so.

Namjoon: We won't be using our powers while fighting unless I say otherwise...

You nod and Hoseok tosses you your bracelet and you slip it on and as you do you turn back to your human form.
Namjoon looks at where you horns and batwings were just a second ago before he lowers his eyes a bit looking directly into yours.

Namjoon: Ok...so first how to block and control a punch...
Once you see the person trying to punch you try to quickly slip and parry the attack.
Control the movement of both arms of your opponent.
Redirect any cross attacks by using the person's weight and force against them.
Put pressure on their neck.
Control the arm and lock the elbow.

Namjoon continues explaining as you nod and make mental notes of what he's saying.

Namjoon: We'll do all that today...
After that we'll be done with your training for today.
Tomorrow there will be no training for you.
Any questions?

You shake your head and tell him you don't have any questions.

Namjoon: Ok then.

Namjoon gets into a fighting stance.

Namjoon: We'll start on the counter of 3,okay?

You nod as you mirror his stance and he looks down at your foot placement before looking into your eyes again.

Namjoon: One...
Two.........

You clench your teeth...balling your fists even more as Namjoon counts.

Namjoon: THREE!!!!!!!!!

As he finishes counting he charges towards you at full speed!
You stand...waiting for him to reach you.
He reaches you and you take the opportunity immediately.
You spin around ending up back to back with Namjoon.
This catches him off guard.
You immediately grab a hold of his arm as his back is still turned.
You grab his other arm too and pin them behind his back!!!!
Namjoon backs up as he pushes his weight against you.
You let go and jump back as he whirls around...
Facing you...
He charges toward you again and just as he reaches you...
You duck underneath his left arm...
You grab his left shoulder with your left hand and then the back of his neck with your right!!!!
You pull making his head go back.
He tries to elbow you in the stomach.
You try and catch his elbow as you let go of his shoulder,but then Namjoon pulls his elbow away catching you off guard and leaving you confused...
He uses it to his advantage and tackles you to the ground.
Carefully of course.
You turn and try to crawl away but he stops you almost immediately.
You lay subdued on the ground on your stomach as Namjoon sits on your back.
Holding your arms firmly against your sides.
You're facing Hoseok and Jimin but honestly you don't really think about that right now.
You struggle under Namjoon's weight to get him off,but to no avail.
He leans down to your left ear.

Namjoon: You shouldn't be too hasty with your next move...

His breath tickles your ear.
Sending a shiver down your spine.

Namjoon: Your opponent could try to trick you...
Just like I did now...
So think carefully and analyze the situation while fighting...
Try to stay focused and not get distracted...

You smile as he says that...
His grip on your arms loosening a bit...

*HIT*

Namjoon: Ah!!!!!

You take advantage and elbow him in the ribs.
He loosens his grip even more giving you time to flip over and roll him on his back.
You then sit on him holding his arms on either side of his face.
Namjoon looks up at you as he struggles to get free.
You could easily get away,dude🤭
You smirk as you're looking up at the sky.

Stella: It seems you weren't focused...
You let your guard down:)

You close your eyes leaning your head back as you smile and laugh as you pant out of breath but proud.
And then you lower your head and open your eyes.
Your eyes widen as you see Namjoon panting.
Sweat dripping from his face as he looks at you.
You feel numb as he looks at you with a blank expression...
As if it's an everyday occurrence that you sit on top of him.
You gulp and stare at each other for what feels like an eternity.
Until he breaks the silence...

Namjoon: You win...

Stella: *continues staring while still sitting on him and holding his arms down on the sides of his face*

Namjoon: Stella...

Stella: Uhm...huh?

Namjoon: You win...

Stella: I do?

Namjoon: Yes...
And since you win and training is now over for today...
I think you can get off me now...
My torso is starting to feel numb...

He says softly.

Stella: O-oh!
Sorry!

You hurried get off Namjoon and turn looking away from him to hide your reddening face as your back is facing him,Hoseok and Jimin.
Yep. They're still there XD.
Namjoon gets up....dusting himself off...
He crosses his arms looking at you as your back is still to him.

Namjoon: How are you feeling?

You turn around to face him.

Stella: Fine...completely fine...

A lie...A HUMONGOUS LIE.

He was on my back and then I was on top of him! So I'm not fine!

Hoseok and Jimin are also still here!!!!

And my muscles feel sore!

Namjoon: Okay then...we can all go home now.

You let out a sigh of relief.
Namjoon teleports you both home.
You talk with the guys about how your first day of training went as they asked.
You eat dinner,take a shower and crawl into bed.
Hours have gone by but you can't get proper sleep.

My whole body is aching...

It hurts so much...

Luckily it's weekend...

So I can recover...

You sigh as you try and get some more sleep...
But a knock at the door chases away any chance that you just had at falling asleep.
You stay laying in bed...
Looking out the window through the curtain netting as you tell the person to enter.
You hear the door open and close...
You turn your head to the other side to look who it is...

You see it's Jimin as he's smiling with his mouth closed.

Stella: Ji...Jimin...what are you doing here?

Jimin: Well...you were training pretty hard today...
You made it look so effortless...
But I still wanted to come here and ask you how you're doing...
So how are you doing,Stella?

You bite your lower lip...
Wondering if you should tell him...

I don't want him to think I'm weak...

But I'll tell him anyways and also apologize again for what I did.

Stella: Well...honestly I'm not doing so great...

His smile fades.

Stella: My entire body hurts from the training...
Yah,I know that Namjoon warned me,but I didn't expect it to be this bad.
I thought the pain would go away easily but it just got worse...

He smiles.

Jimin: I have a solution and all you have to do is say yes to it*eye smile*

You look at him curiously.
Jimin brings his hand from behind his back...
You look at his hand and see that he's holding a bottle...
And it reads "Massaging oil coconut scented".
You look at him surprised.
You see he's also holding a small bag in his other hand.
He smiles as he watches your reaction.

Jimin: I'll give you a massage to help you if you say yes.

You blush and stutter not knowing what to say.
He puts the bottle and bag on your desk as he walks towards you.
He leans down as you're still laying down...
You feel his warm breath on your face...

Jimin: I won't hurt you...I'll be gentle...
Just say yes...

You gulp and tell him that it's not a good idea.

Jimin: If it's about what happened on the island...
Then I'll tell you to not worry about it...okay?

Stella: *gulp*

I really want that massage...

I need it...my whole body hurts...

You look at the floor as you nod your head.

Jimin: You'll allow me to do it?

You nod...still not looking at him.
He smiles and backs away...heading to the bag he placed on your desk.
You watch as he unzips the bag and unpacks all its contents.
You see him taking out candles and a box of matches...
He places the candles on the desk and lights them up...
As the candles burn your room is filled with the smell of jasmine...
He then takes out his phone and romantic jazz music starts to play.
You wonder if you should've just said no instead.
As you wonder you see Jimin standing in front of you smiling.

Jimin: So.......
How do you want to do this?
I mean...
Do you want to keep your clothes on or...

You feel your cheeks warm.

Jimin: Since it's oil...your clothes will most likely get dirty...

Stella: I'll keep my clothes on...
Afterall...it's just a shirt and shorts that I'm wearing.

Jimin: Okay then...

You sit upright in bed making your back face the sash windows as Jimin climbs on and sits behind you.
You pull down your shirt at your shoulders and lift up the back of it.
You can feel his breath against the back of your neck...
You can feel him watching your every move...
Jimin opens the bottle and pours some the oil on his hand...
He puts the bottle on the legde of your sash windows.
He rubs his hands together and then stops after a few seconds.

Jimin: Are you ready?

He asks still smiling.
You just give a small nod...knowing you won't be able to say anything.

Jimin: Ah...okay then...just relax...

He gently presses his hands against your back...
You sit up straighter as his skin touches yours...
He starts with long,smooth full-palm strokes up your back...
Then down your arms...
You close your eyes and groan as you feel both pleasure and pain simultaneously.
You lean back into him...
He massages your shoulders and then your collarbone...
He rests his chin on your left shoulder as his hands slide over your thighs...

Stella: Ah...h...

You feel Jimin smiling against your shoulder as he continues massaging your thighs...
Applying pressure at just the right spots...
He turns you around so you'd face him...
Your eyes are half closed as you look at him.
His hands slide up the front of your shirt...
He massages your hips and abdomen...
You lean backwards and almost fall...
But you catch yourself by wrapping your legs around Jimin's torso and your arms around his neck...
His hands on your hips to steady you...
He chuckles as he continues to massage your abdomen...
Going higher each time...
And every time you think you know what he'll do his hands slide back down...
He lays you down on your bed...
You look up at him as he crawls on top...
He continues massaging every part of your body...
Well...all of them except three or well four;)
But his hands do get pretty close though...
His hands slide from your thighs to your hips again...
He applies pressure...immediately making you arch your back.

Stella: Mhm...

Jimin: That's it...

Jimin retracts his hands and your eyes fly open...
You give him a questioning look.

Jimin: I just can't take it anymore...

His eyes turn red as he leans down to your neck and starts kissing...
You let out a gasp...

Stella: Jimin...n...what...are you...ou...

Jimin: I*kisses your neck*
Just*kisses your neck*
Can't*kisses your neck*
Help myself*kisses your neck*

Jimin presses himself against you even more...
So much that you feel the bed might swallow you...
You moan as you smell him...
Citrusy,peppermint,jasmine,rosewood with a hint of vanilla...
His hands roaming your body as he kisses your jaw...
You see him taking the bottom half of his shirt...
He takes his shirt off and tosses it on the floor...
You look at his lean muscled build as you sit up and you place your hands on his chest...
Raking your fingertips along his body...
Everywhere you touch...
Goosebumps appear on his body...
He pushes you down on the bed...
Pinning your arms above your head...
His crimson red eyes roam all over your body as you squirm under his gaze...
He kisses your neck and moves his hands to your shorts smiling widely...
But then...

Hoseok: Jimin?

You two hear Hoseok calling him from outside the room.
You two look at each other with big eyes.

Hoseok: Jimin,where are you?

Jimin's phone begins to ring making the romantic jazz music stop.
You two hear footsteps down the hallway and panick a bit as it sounds like he's headed this way.
Jimin immediately gets up and hides in your closet T^T.
You hear a knock at the door and head to your desk to check who's Jimin's phone but before you get to it the call ends.
You facepalm.

Hoseok: Stella,are you awake?

You quick grab your robe and slip it on to cover the oil stains on your clothes:3
You blow out the candles and then put them in the bag along with the box of matches and bottle of oil.
You place it in a drawer of your desk.
You take a deep breath and walk to the door.

Hoseok: Maybe she's sleeping...

You open the door to find Hoseok...as expected...

Stella: Hey,Hoseok,is there something I can help you with?

He nods.

Hoseok: Yah,I'm looking for Jimin...
Have you seen him?

You stand completely frozen as you hear an alarm on Jimin's phone going off...
Hoseok peers over your right shoulder into your room...

Hoseok: Is he in there?

Stella: N...no...why would he be in here?
And so late too?
He's probably out hunting.
He came into my room after I finished training and then went away...
He forgot his phone...
I only realized it after I ate dinner and took a shower.
I was going to give it to him,but then I forgot and fell asleep.

Hoseok: Mhm...I was just asking but maybe you're right.
May I come in?
I'll give him his phone tomorrow morning...

Stella: Okay...y*would be sweating bullets if it were possible*

You hesitantly let Hoseok into your room...
Hoseok takes Jimin's phone from its spot on your desk and pockets it as you're standing behind him.
He turns around facing you.

Hoseok: Your room smells nice...like jasmine...very nice...

Stella: Yah,Jen gave jasmine scented candles to me as a gift.
You know how she is😅

He smiles.

Hoseok: Yep,Hansol's told me about her...

His expression turns blank.

Hoseok: Also I wanted to ask how you're doing?

You feign confusion...

Hoseok: I mean...you seemed pretty upset today when Namjoon snapped...

Stella: ..............

Hoseok: Don't take those things he said to heart.
Namjoon may seem like a cold guy...
A bad guy...
But he isn't...
He just wants the best for everyone...

Stella: *nod*

Hoseok walks to your bedroom door...his hand in the handle as you walk backwards from your desk and turn to face Hoseok.
You can from this angle see a bit of Jimin as he's hiding in your closet.
Hoseok looks over his left shoulder at you.

Hoseok: Also...I know I've said it before...
But be on alert when you're with Jimin,okay?

Jimin peeks out of the closet and smiles as it's next to your door aka where Hoseok's standing.

Hoseok: It's very important,okay?

Jimin moves a bit...making sure you're able to see his torso...
He winks at you as you gulp.

Stella: Yes,I understand.

Hoseok: Okay then...goodnight.

You say goodnight to Hoseok as he closes the door behind him...
After a few seconds as you both hear Hoseok's footsteps going down the hall Jimin climbs out of the closet and smiles at you with his crimson red eyes also smiling.
You on the other hand glare at him,pick up his shirt and throw it at him.
At his face to be more specific XD
He catches it without moving either way.

Stella: Were you trying to get caught?!?!?!

Jimin: No...

Stella: Then why---

Jimin: Because I love your reactions:3

He makes his way toward you...
The light of the moon shining on him...
You stand still as he reaches you and he kisses your neck and shoulders...
Causing you to shiver and bite your lip...
You pull away from him with a bit of effort and he smirks at you.
He puts on his shirt.

You go get the bag from your drawer and walk back to him.
Y

ou hand him the bag and he takes it.

Jimin: You seem tired...I should let you rest.
Goodnight,beautiful...

He lightly kisses your jaw making you sigh and then exists your room.

What happened today and a few minutes ago...

It shouldn't have happened...

I don't want to complicate things...

But Jimin...

He just has this effect on me...I don't know why...

Making me reveal an unknown part of myself...him and I...we're best friends...

Him and the others will leave soon and I'll forget them and never see them again and here him and I...

We almost...

I can't let this happen again...

For the duration of his heat...

If he does anything that I think might lead to him and I...doing things...not just THAT...but...

When he does something that might lead to it...then I should walk away immediately...

Actually run. Not walk. RUN!!!!!!

He makes it so difficult to walk/run away...

He's a vampire and I know that...

But somehow in my eyes...

He's the devil and an angel...

Making me want to commit sins...so many sins with him...

Things I can't even bring myself to say outloud...

Things I didn't even think pique my interest...

You look all over your room and shake your head before the images can form in your mind.
You let out a tired sigh...

I should just go to bed...

I crawl into my bed and close my eyes.

-On the balcony-

Jimin's standing near the edge looking around as there's a cool,light breeze...
He's smiling and looks up at the sky full of stars and the moon high up as the stars highlight the moon.

Hoseok: Ahem.

Jimin's smile fades and he looks over his right shoulder and sees Hoseok looking at him with a blank expression.

Jimin: Oh...hey,Hoseok...what are you doing up?

Hoseok: It's weekend...

Jimin: Yah,it is...

Hoseok crosses his arms.

Hoseok: I'm going to ask you a question and I hope you'll answer it honestly...

Jimin: Well...I am known for my honesty so ask away...

Hoseok: You're also known for other things...but anyways...
Where were you?

Jimin: What do you mean?

Hoseok: I was looking for you and couldn't find you...
Jungkook came to my room and woke me up and asked if I knew where you were...
So after I didn't find you I decided to call your phone...
It was inside Stella's room...
She says you forgot it when you went to see her after training...

He takes out Jimin's phone and holds it out.

Hoseok: Here.

Jimin takes it.

Jimin: Thanks...

Hoseok: Now where were you?

Jimin: Why do you want to know?

Hoseok: To make sure you're not stirring up some trouble...

Jimin: Me? Stirring up trouble? That's a good one,Hoseok...

Hoseok: Yah,just as good as if I were to rip both your ears off and shove them down your throat.

Jimin: *scared*

Hoseok: Now answer the question.

Jimin: I was out hunting...

Hoseok: But Stella already said you did some hunting on the island...
And now you're saying you did some here too?

Jimin: Yah,I was still a bit hungry...

Hoseok: Jimin!!!!!

Jimin: Fine! Everything is a lie,okay?!
Stella and I...

Jimin explains to Hoseok and Hoseok's expression doesn't even change one bit as he listens.

Hoseok: Not surprising...I sort of saw it coming...especially with what you're experiencing right now...
I already knew about it anyways...I saw your shirt on the floor and you're the only one that has jasmine scented candles...

Jimin: Oh...are you going to tell the others?

Hoseok: No,why would I?

Jimin: Actually...why wouldn't you?
I mean...what I did was wrong...
Against the rules...

Hoseok: Yah...but...
Well...you two are both adults...
So do what you want...but keep it hush hush...
I won't tell anyone anything.

Jimin: Not even Namjoon? Aka your leader aka your friend?

Hoseok: Not even him...

Jimin: Wow...you know I'm glad Jin got you all to change up your hair...
You're a lot better now.

Hoseok frowns.

Hoseok: What did you say?!

Jimin: Nothing! I said nothing! Please don't kill me!

Hoseok smiles.

Hoseok: Fine...

Jimin: Thanks,Hobi...

He holds out his right fist out vertically.

Jimin: Come on:)

Hoseok looks.

Hoseok: Seriously?

Jimin: Yah,Come on...it's been so long...

Hoseok: I don't know...I don't think I  remember it...

Jimin: It's fine...
The 3 year age gap between us made your brain age faster...

Hoseok looks at him with a deep frown.

Hoseok: Are you calling me old?!

Jimin: No! Sorry! Come on...just this once...please*puppy bug eyes*

Hoseok: If it gets you to stop making those weird bug eyes at me then sure...

Jimin: It's called puppy eyes...not bug eyes...

Hoseok: In your case it's bug eyes.
Take it or leave it.

Jimin: >:(

Hoseok: Let's get this over with.

He makes his right hand into a fist and holds it out like Jimin's.
He lifts his fist up and bumps the bottom of his fist against the top of Jimin's.
Then he bumps the front of his fist against Jimin's and then the top of his fist against the bottom of Jimin's.
He again bumps the front of his fist against the front of Jimin's fist.
Jimin pulls his hand away and shows a thumbs up and Hoseok does the same.
They bring the fronts of their fists and their thumbs together.
They bring their fists down together still holding their fists and thumbs together.
Jimin pulls his fist away and stands with his right leg bent and lifted up,his left arm out and bent down as his palm is facing away,his right arm bent up as his palm is facing to the front and he's showing shocked expression.
Hoseok does the same except his actions are mirrored.
They then bring their legs back down and bump their knees.
Hoseok acts like he's a dj and starts beat boxing and Jimin gets down on one knee acting like he has a microphone in his hand and starts bear boxing too as they're facing away from each other.

Jimin: 🎶I'm Jimin!🎵

Hoseok: 🎶I'm Hoseok!🎵

Jimin: 🎶We're best friends🎵

Hoseok: 🎶The best of friends🎵

After a few seconds Jimin gets up and turns around and gets down again like he's holding a microphone and Hoseok turns the way Jimin was facing before and continues to beat box and act like he's a dj.

Jimin: 🎶Hoseok is cool🎵

Hoseok: 🎶Jimin is annoying🎵

Jimin: What!!! That's not how they goes!!!!

Hoseok: Just get done! I already didn't wanna do this!

Jimin: *pout*
🎶Hoseok's cool and smart!🎵

Hoseok: 🎶Jimin's fierce and short🎵

Jimin: I'm not short!!!!

Hoseok: *chuckles*
🎶Jimin's fierce and agile🎵

Jimin: *proud smile*
🎶And we're🎵

He gets up and turns to Hoseok.

Hoseok: 🎶Theeeeeeeee🎵

Hoseok turns around to face him.

Jimin: 🎶Besttttt🎵

Hoseok: 🎶Offfffffffff🎵

Jimin and Hoseok: 🎶Friendssssss!!!!!🎵

Ohhhhhhhhh yahhhhhhhhh🎵
*jazz hands*

Jimin smiles and Hoseok crosses his arms.

Jimin: See! It wasn't hard...now was it?

Hoseok: If anybody hears about this...
Then you won't have hair on your head when you wake up.
Understand?:)

Jimin's eyes widen.

Jimin: Don't worry! I won't tell anyone!

He smiles.

Jimin: And thanks for having my back,Hobi...
I really appreciate it.

Hoseok: Hey,that's what friends are for...so don't worry about it.
Just be careful,okay?

He nods back to your room as your room's sash window isn't too far away from the side of the balcony that he's facing away from.

Jimin: Mhm...yah.
Also...
Do you maybe have a crush or something?

Hoseok: A crush? No,I don't...what made you think I did?

Jimin: Well on break...
Stella and I saw you smiling at your phone...

Hoseok: Nope,I don't have a crush...
It was just good news from the company about the anime series...
It's our biggest project ever so I was excited when I got good news.

Jimin: Yah...I thought that was probably it...
Afterall you're not made to be in a relationship...

Hoseok: Huh?

Jimin: I mean...you're all work and no play...

Hoseok: And you're all play and no work...

Jimin: Actually I have a balance...

Hoseok: Yah...yah...

Jimin: What I'm trying to say is.
Loosen up a bit so your future gf will definitely be happy.

Hoseok rolls his cloud grey eyes.

Hoseok: I most likely won't have a girlfriend.

Jimin: And why is that?

Hoseok: Because I'm not gonna be dating.

Jimin pouts.

Jimin: You're no fun at all.

Hoseok: Yah...yah...
Okay...I'm going to head inside and sleep...
It's getting a bit too cold out here...

Jimin: You could've been warm if you had a gf:3

Hoseok shakes his head.

Hoseok: Make sure to lock the sliding door again.

Jimin: Sure...sure*chuckle*
Goodnight.

Hoseok: Goodnight*says it shaking his head walking away*

Hoseok heads inside the apartment and closes the sliding door behind him.
He heads to his room and as he does Jimin turns back to the edge of the balcony and looks at the twinkling stars with a small smile on his face.
