-26 February,Saturday-

You slowly opens your eyes.

Stella: *yawn*

The sun shines brightly outside as the rays shining through your sash windows make your room feel and look warm as you look out the windows.

Stella: What a beautiful morning...

You sit upright in bed as you look down at the busy streets below.
You yawn and stretch...still smelling the jasmine scented candles from the previous night...
Your mind flashes back to what happened last night.
You fall back on your bed as you sigh...

Stella: I'm not being ungrateful but why...
Why does Jimin have to be so attractive?
Seriously...I mean he's not the only one...but still...
Luckily Hoseok interrupted...
I'm not sure how I'll face Jimin now...
On the bright side my body doesn't hurt anymore...*blushing a bit*
My life is already complicated and a mess and now there's Jimin;_;
How convenient.
A person can only take so much...I'm not sure how I'll face him...

Snippets of last night flash through your mind as you remember his touch.

Stella: Ugh! Stupid brain! It's too early!

Jungkook: Too early for what?

You jump in your spot and you look and see Jungkook as he's smiling.

Stella: Oh! It's only you! How long have you been standing there?

Jungkook: Good morning,Miss Stella^^
Not very long. I came to wake you up!^^
Namjoon hyung said that today we're all going to the mall since there's no training for you today.
And Hoseok hyung invited Miss Jen,Mr Hansol and Jiho^^
We're going to have so much
fun!*dimples and bunny smile*

You smile feeling relieved that Jungkook didn't hear anything.

Stella: Wow! I can't wait. I'm in need of some relaxation.

Jungkook: Yep! I'm very excited!
We're going to watch a movie and eat lots of snacks.
We're going to have so much fun!!!
So get ready and come for breakfast!^^

Stella: Okay! I'll be there soon!

Jungkook exits your room as you jump out of bed smiling and stretching.
As you wake up fully something brushes against your foot.
You look down and see Namjoon's handkerchief.

He gave it to me yesterday...I almost...

He told me to give it back to him today...

I should do that but first I should go take a shower and also clean it before giving it to him.

Now that I'm looking at it...I feel like I've seen it before...

I turn over the handkerchief in my hands and see the letter S in the corner.

Mhm...

A knock on the door interrupts my train of thought.

Stella: Come in...

Footsteps echo around my room as the door slams shut.
I look over my shoulder and see Jimin as he's smiling.
I look back at Namjoon's handkerchief in my hands as I greet him.

Stella: Hey,Jimin...what are you doing here?
Jungkook already told me about today's plans.

Jimin: Yah...I know...*eye smile and dimple*

He walks over to me as my back is still to him.
He stops behind me and places his hands on the sides of my upper arms looking over my shoulder as his smile dissappears.

Stella: Jimin...why are you here?*soft tone*

He smiles again at the question letting go of my upper arms.

Jimin: To see you...obviously...

He puts his arms around my waist.

Jimin: I also wanted to ask you how you're feeling...

Jimin slides his fingers up and down your side as he says it softly.

Jimin: Mhm...how are you feeling? Any more aches...?

He digs his right hand's fingers lightly into your hip.
You look down.

Stella: Shit...*whisper*
No...I'm okay...t...thanks...

His grip on you tightens.

Stella: *nervous as hell*
Jimin---

He silences you as he kisses your neck...
He kisses your shoulder and then lightly bites your ear.

Stella: Jimin...

Jimin: Mhm...
We were interrupted last night...

He lightly bites your shoulder...causing you to shiver and moan.

Jimin: And so...I'm here to continue what we were doing...
I don't like leaving things unfinished...

He spins you around so you can look at him...
You unknowingly let Namjoon's handkerchief fall as you place your hands on Jimin's chest...

Jimin: Hopefully we'll be able to finish what we started with no interruptions...

He brings his hand to your back and slides his fingers down your spine.
You moan and arch your back...
He smiles as he watches you...
His hands slides to your ass...and he squeezes.
You gasp and close your eyes lightly as you clutch his shirt tighter.

Stella: Jimin...please...I---
Ah!

Before you could complete your sentence...
Jimin pushed you onto the bed and you backed away a bit making your back hit the wall as he appeared as fast as lighting in front of you...
Your back against the wall...
His hands holding your arms against the windows.
You stare at him shocked...
Your face red.

Stella: Jimin...

Jimin: You know...
You make it hard for a guy to resist you...
You make me...
Want to do some very unholy things to you...
But...I think you wouldn't be able to handle all that...
At least not yet...
Or maybe you can and I'm wrong...
So...are you going to prove me wrong?
I know you want to...

His hand goes lower and stops above your pussy as your shorts and underwear are the only things keeping him from making direct contact.

Jimin: I can see it in your eyes...

You gulp.

Jimin: You can be honest with me...
I'd prefer that...
Just a little warning beforehand...

He leans in and whispers the following as his eyes turn crimson red...

Jimin: I like it rough...*smirk*

You blush.

Jimin: And I can be gentle...
But I get carried away easily...
There's no mercy...
Well...maybe if you really want it...
Then there's mercy...
But usually...

He lets go of your left arm and tilts your chin up as you're still holding your arm up.

Jimin: Usually there's no mercy...
If you say yes...
I can honestly promise...
That you won't regret it...*eye smile*

You nod your head as you blush...
His smile widens as you agree.
He pushes you down on the bed as he smiles.
He rips off your clothes...
Tearing them to pieces.
You lay shocked.
He winks at you.

Jimin: Black underwear?
Looked great on you...but I prefer red...mhm...
Actually I prefer you with no clothes on...

He looks over your body...not a piece of clothing in sight.
His hands roam your body...
You bite your lip as you moan enjoying his touch.

Jimin: You look even better than I imagined...

What the hell am I doing?!?!?! What happened to "if he does anything that might lead to him and I doing things then I'll walk/run away"?!?!

This does not look like walking/running away!!!!

Stella: You imagined me?

Jimin nods still smiling.

Jimin: Yah...it just happens...I don't even try...
You just pop up in my mind...
I know you've done it too...with me...
That dream you had...

You look away blushing.

Jimin: And don't worry...I know what you're probably thinking...

He reaches into his pocket and opens his hand...
It's a condom packet.

Stella: When...when did you---

Jimin: Well...I always have some ready*wink*

He continues kissing your body as you moan.
You tangle your fingers in his hair as you pull him closer.
Leo pops up in your mind and you furrow your brows and push the thoughts of him aside as you're basically telling them to fuck off.
Jimin leans closer and takes off his shirt.
He reaches for his pants...
And then the door flies open!!!!
Jimin frowns immediately covering you with the blanket...holding you tightly.
You two look up to see Hoseok.
He silently closes the door behind him.
He crosses his arms as he looks at you two.

Hoseok: So this is why you're taking so long,Stella?

Jimin: FUCK!!!! HOSEOK!!!! HAVEN'T YOU EVER HEARD OF KNOCKING?!

Stella: Hoseok...uhm...this---*whisper*

Jimin: Hey,don't worry...
He knows already...

Stella: What?*blush*

Hoseok: Yah,I know...
I knew Jimin was in your room last night...
That he was in the closet...
I saw him him in the closet...
I saw his shirt on the floor...
And Jimin is the only one here who uses jasmine scented candles...
He thought I didn't know but I got him when he went to the balcony:)
Anyways...don't worry...I already told Jimin that I won't tell.
Do what you guys want,but just be careful...

You just nod as you turn even redder and hold the blanket tighter.

Hoseok: Well...I'll go then.
You should get ready fast.
We'll be leaving soon.

You nod and pull the blanket over your face as Jimin chuckles.
Hoseok exits your room as you continue blushing...
The blanket covering your face...
Jimin pulls the blanket down from your face as he's smiling.

Stella: That was so embarrassing!!!!*whisper*

Jimin: Hey,it's okay...
Now...

Jimin pulls off the blanket and pulls you onto his lap.

Jimin: Where were we?

Stella: Jimin! Stop! I have to get ready and also...
I have to wash Namjoon's handkerchief and give it back!
Also why didn't you at least lock the door?!
The key is literally on that shelf!

Jimin: I forgot...
Also those other things can wait...

His hands grip your ass as he licks his lips...

Jimin: But I can't...sorry...

Stella: I need to take a shower!

Jimin: Mhm...I need one too...
Maybe we could go together?

You blush as he lets you go and you get up.

Stella: Jimin,I need to tell you something stuff...before we do anything...

Jimin: Go ahead...*eye smile*

His index finger slides from your hip to your thigh.

Stella: O-okay...
No kissing on the lips...

Jimin: *smile fades*

Stella: No sex.
And definitely not sucking my blood.

Jimin: Huh? I don't understand...

Stella: Look...we're already doing something friends normally don't do...
I also want to save kissing and sex for the guy I'll be with...
But...there are other things we can do that are just as good...

He smiles looking at you with his crimson red eyes.

Jimin: You mean pleasuring ourselves and each other? No sex? No kissing?

Stella: Yep...you can say no...
This is already pretty weird and I'm sure this isn't what you wanted and expected...

Jimin: No,it isn't.
You also said "No sucking blood"...
Mhm...although it's tempting to suck your blood...
To fuck you mercilessly...

You bite your lip.

Jimin: I know there are other things that I can suck too...*mischievous smirk looking you up and down clearly wanting you but refrains from doing anything because of what you said*

Stella: *blush*

Jimin: If you haven't noticed...
All the bedrooms along with the outer walls of this apartment are soundproof...*smirk*
As in...we can hear if one of the guys walk by...
But they can't hear us...
Luckily the doors and windows are closed...

He slides his hand along your thigh.

Jimin: I don't want to others to hear you...only me...my ears alone...
And eventhough this isn't what I expected and wanted...
Who says I'll say no...
I say yes...
Sure...it'll be difficult to keep myself from breaking the rules...
But I'll try my best...
And so...

Jimin puts his hands on your hips and pulls you to sit on his lap.

Jimin: I'll do this...

He puts his one hand at the small of your back...
And brings the other one down there...
Opening your legs...

Stella: What are you---

Jimin: Following the rules*smirk*

Before you can say anything---

*THRUST*

Stella: Ah!!!!

He sticks two fingers in as you moan and lean your head back and put your arms around his neck.

Jimin: I love the sounds you make...
The expressions...
You have no idea how I've been wanting to hear these sounds again...

Stella: Ji...min...uh...

You push yourself even more against him.

Jimin: *chuckle* Wow...just look at you...
Impatient...are we?

His smile widens as he pulls you closer...
He lightly bites your neck...

Jimin: Mhm...
What would your dad say if he saw you now?

Stella: Ji...mi...n...

Jimin: Just sit back and relax...
Let me take care of you...

He squeezes your ass and plants a kiss on your jaw.

Jimin: I'll be sure to make this quick and enjoyable...
Okay?

Stella: Y...yah...

Jimin pushes his fingers deeper as you lean your head on his right shoulder...
Moaning as you tangle your fingers in his hair.

Jimin: Fuck...

He pushes in and pulls out slowly...

Stella: Ah...don't...don't sto...p...

Jimin: *chuckle* I don't plan on stopping...

He continues.
Pushing in and pulling out repeatedly...
Going faster...harder...and deeper each time as you gasp and moan...
Trying to push yourself closer to him.
He continues pleasuring you with a smile on his face as he watches you.
He then does it one more time as he lightly bites your neck...
Sending you over the edge...
You shake in his arms as he holds you from falling...
He kisses your jaw as you open your eyes and look at him.

Jimin: *chuckle*
You're glowing...

He looks down before looking at you again.

Jimin: It seems I should go and change...
Because of you...

You look down and see what he's talking about.
You see some of your cum on his pants and that he's clearly partially hard under his pants.
You blush and cover your face with your hands.

Stella: Sorry...

Jimin: It's fine...You're not the only reason I need to go change*wink and eye smile*

Stella: You...did you...you also---

Jimin: Yep...
I came without you or me touching me...
I came...just by watching you...
Hearing your moans...

He takes his index finger and slides it along your pussy...

Stella: Ah...

Jimin: Mhm...I could do better next time around...
Practice would help a ton...

You blush.

Stella: J-Jimin...I have to go shower and get ready...

You look at your torn shirt,shorts and underwear on the floor.

Stella: And also clean up fast...

Jimin: Mhm...maybe we could go shower together...
We're both in need of one anyways...
So why not go together?

You place your hands on his chest and he smirks.

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

You put in your robe and bend down to pick up Namjoon's handkerchief and throw away the pieces of your ripped clothes...
Jimin's doing:3
He puts on his shirt as he watches you.

Jimin: So...
It seems we've gone from strangers to friends to best friends...
And now best friends with benefits...

You throw the pieces of your ripped clothes into the trash and look at Jimin...

Stella: Well...uhm...no actually...there's no sex involved...so...

Jimin: But there are benefits...
Sexually to what we're doing...*smile*

Stella: Yah...I guess you're right*blush*

Jimin: Best friends with benefits...mhm...
Can't believe it...
Never thought it would actually happen...
Not complaining though*smirk*

Jimin gets up from the bed and walks toward you.
He kisses the right corner of your mouth.

Jimin: Now go and shower before I change my mind of letting you go...

Stella: *blush* O...okay...

His fingers slide down your right arm...leaving goosebumps...

Jimin: I'll use Namjoon's shower and then I'll go wait in the livingroom with the others.
See ya.

He brushes his hand against yours as he walk past you holding your gaze as you watch him go.
He looks infront of him as he walks to your door.
He opens it as he throws you a wink and then closes the door behind him.

Best friends with benefits...

I'm just complicating everything even more...

You let out a sigh as you ready all your clothes and put them on your desk and then go to the bathroom to freshen up.
You walk towards the bathroom lost in thought with your head hung low...
Thinking of everything changed so fast.
You don't look where where you're going...
And so you bump your head against something hard.
You clutch your head as you lift it up and look.
You see Hoseok as he's looking at you with his cloud grey eyes wide.

Hoseok: Hey,are you okay?

You nod as you rub your head.

Stella: Yep...I should really learn to look where I'm going;_;

His surprised expression vanishes.

Stella: I just need to take a shower and I'll go to the livingroom...
Sorry for bumping into you...

Hoseok: It's fine...don't worry about it...

You reach for the bathroom door's handle.

Hoseok: Stella,wait...

You let your hand drop to your side as you look at Hoseok.

Stella: Yah?

He crosses his arms over his chest.

Hoseok: Look...don't take what I'm about to say the wrong way...
You're allowed to do what you want...
You're an adult...
But be careful...mistakes have consequences...
Yoongi...he really cares about you...
He feels comfortable around you...
He doesn't understand what he's feeling...
But I think the rest of us know...

Your eyes widen a little at the revelation.

Hoseok: What I'm trying to say is...
Be careful with my brother...please...
He...

You see Hoseok tearing up a bit.

He really cares about Yoongi...and the last thing I want to do is hurt Yoongi...

He's saved me...physically...emotionally...

You nod your head...

Stella: I understand...I don't lead people on...
Hoseok...I just want you to know...
I...I'm not cheap...Jimin and I...
We didn't do anything...
We really didn't.
I mean it.
I'm not lying.
I didn't plan on-

Hoseok: I never said you were...I never thought that of you ever...
You're only human...well...
You get it...just be careful...

Stella: *nod*
Thanks for keeping this secret...for not judging me...
I already felt guilty for what happened on the island because it felt like I was betraying Leo...
Because I still love him...
But I know I shouldn't...
I shouldn't feel bad and I shouldn't still love him.

Hoseok smiles.

Hoseok: Yah,I know.
Jimin told me and he's right.
You're right.
You shouldn't feel like you're cheating because you're not.
And you will get over him.
Things take time so just take it easy.
And it's a pleasure.
You're a good person.
No one has the right to judge you...or anyone else.
Now go shower and then come for breakfast*heart smile and dimples*

Stella: Okay. I will. And thanks again😁

He nods smiling as you say bye to him and enter the bathroom to take a warm shower.
You wash your hair and use some coconut scented shampoo.
After drying yourself you put on your robe as the smell of the coconut scented massage oil is still strong on it.
You do your skin care and brush your teeth and take your underwear and Namjoon's now clean,dry handkerchief with as you're heading to your room.
You hang your underwear on its usual spot so it can dry.
You put on your lotion,hand lotion,get dressed,take care of your hair,take your things and then head to the livingroom for breakfast...
As you walk into the livingroom you see Taehyung sitting and smiling as he's busy reading.
Yoongi's standing and looking down at the floor with a small smile on his face.
Hoseok's sitting and busy on his phone.
Fully focused.
Namjoon's standing and seems to be deep in thought.
Jin's busy posing as Jungkook's holding Namjoon's camera that Jin took and Jungkook's busy taking pictures as Jin continues to pose.
They're all so busy with their own things that they don't notice you.

All of them except Jimin is here...

Where is he?

I feel someone putting their arm around my waist.
I look to my left and see Jimin...
Holding my favorite mug in hand with a cheeky smile plastered on his face.

Jimin: Morning,beautiful...
I made you some black coffee...*low voice smiling*

You feel the others watching as they've only now taken notice of you being here.
Also Namjoon's frowning a little.
You smile as you take the mug and thank Jimin...
Your fingers brushing.
You take a big sip.

Yoongi: Morning,Stella*chin dimple*

He says with a big smile as he's happy to see you.

Yoongi: I hope you slept well.
Afterall it was your first day of training yesterday.

Stella: I slept great.
Training was intense...but I enjoyed it.

Namjoon: That's good.
Because your training will be more intense from here on out.
So prepare yourself.

I smile at Namjoon.

Stella: I will,Sensei Namjoon.

All of you laugh...
Well except for Namjoon's who's surprised and his ears are turning red.
Jimin's hold on you tightens ever so slightly.

Taehyung: Sensei Namjoon
huh?*laughing and dimples*

Stella: I guess I should call you that when we're training since you are teaching me,right?

He wipes his surprised expression and crosses his arms.

Namjoon: Namjoon is fine. Stick to that.

Stella: As you wish...Namjoon.

He's so cute T^T...hot and cute...

Namjoon: Anyways...eat up and we'll go...

Namjoon walks away quickly...his ears still red.
Jimin lets go of your waist as Namjoon walks past and disappears down the halls.
You go and sit next to Hoseok.
You eat breakfast.
After eating you stretch out...
Full and ready to go.
In the corner of your eye you see Hoseok smiling as he types on his phone.

Ah...I see he's chatting with Hansol...

The smile is getting quite big and the dimples are showing😄

But I'm not making assumptions.

You catch Jimin looking at you as your shirt lifts up a bit as you stretch.
For a split second his eyes turned red.
You give him a small wink making sure no one notices.
He grins at you.
Namjoon comes out from the hall and stops right behind him as he's still looking at you grinning.

Namjoon: If you're all done now...
Then we can go.

He says looking at the side of Jimin's face.
Namjoon looks at you as Jimin shows clear irritation on his face.

Namjoon: Ready?

You nod your head as you get up.
All of you exit the apartment.
Soon you're all standing outside the building.

Stella: Namjoon?

Namjoon: Mhm?

You carefully take out Namjoon's handkerchief and extend it to him with both hands.
He looks down at it.

Stella: You said I should give it back today...
I washed it and made sure not to damage it...
So here...

Namjoon takes it and carefully places it in his jacket's pocket.

Namjoon: Okay...the car is unlocked...
Now get in and we can go.

Namjoon gestures to the FRONT PASSENGER SEAT!!!!!!

Jimin: *scoff*

Jimin scoffs getting Namjoon's attention.

Namjoon: Do you have something to say before we leave?

Jimin: Yah,I do!!!!

He says with an annoyed expression.

Jimin: What makes you think she's going with you?
She's obviously coming with me.

He looks at you with a smile as his eyes flash red for a split second.

Jimin: Right,Stella?
I'll be fun.
I mean it'll be fun*corners of lips lifting a bit more*

Stella: 😳

Namjoon: I think she should come with me instead.

Jimin's smile dissappears and he looks at Namjoon.

Jimin: What for? I think she can decide for herself who she wants to go with...

You stand awkwardly as Jimin continues talking and you look at Yoongi and Hoseok not knowing what to do...
Yoongi's standing silently and awkwardly looking at the ground and Hoseok as he's busy on his phone.
You turn back to look at Jimin and Namjoon.

Namjoon: You're right...
She can decide for herself...

Namjoon turns...looking at you with his usual blank expression.
He crosses his arms.

Namjoon: So,Stella...
Who do you want to go with?

Your eyes widen a bit at the question.

Stella: Uh...well...*gulp*

You feel all eyes on you as you feel like a deer standing in headlights.

Namjoon: So who will it be?

Good luck,dear reader. Long choices awaits you XD. Now back to the story!

Do I seriously have to choose?!?!?!T^T

Ugh...I don't know...this is so hard...

Who will I go with?;_;

Namjoon...

Jimin...

Yoongi...

Or maybe even Hoseok...

I mean Namjoon did ask who I wanted to go with and he didn't say I had to just choose between him,Jimin and Yoongi.

-Choice start: Kim Namjoon-

You look between them and then your eyes settle on Namjoon as he's patiently waiting for your answer.

Okay...I know who I'll go with...

Him.

Stella: I choose Namjoon...I mean I'll go with Namjoon...

Jimin frowns but doesn't say anything as he walks between you and Namjoon towards his motorcycle.
As you watch Jimin in your peripheral vision you see Namjoon's lips turning up slightly...
You look at Namjoon and see him looking at you with the same expression as usual...
Completely wiped of any and all emotion...

Did I imagine it?

Namjoon: Come on...get in...

He gestures towards the front passenger seat.
You feel nervous as you nod and open the door and then close it behind you.
Taehyung and Jin get in the back seats.
The ones at the back of the car.
You place your left elbow on the door and rest your hand on your forehead looking out the window...
Not knowing to do as Namjoon starts the car.
You feel his hand brushing against yours as he pulls the gear lever into drive.
You see him glancing at you as he does.
He looks to make sure it's safe to go and then goes.
The car ride is silent...
Well not completely as Jin is singing high notes in the back seat as Taehyung is frowning and scolds him to stay quiet as he wants to finish reading.

Jin: 🎶And I will always love you🎵

Taehyung looks as Jin's acting like he's holding a microphone with his eyes closed and is dancing in his seat.

Jin: 🎶I will always love-🎵

Taehyung: STOP SINGING!!!!!!!!!

Jin immediately stops and opens his eyes as they're wide looking at Taehyung.

Taehyung: FOR GOODNESS SAKE!!!!!!
I'M TRYING TO READ AND YOU'RE MAKING MY EARS HURT!!!!!

Jin pouts.

Jim: NO! You're just jealous of my beauty and voice!

Taehyung: JEALOUS?!?!
Don't make me laugh!!!!
I'M AN ELF!!!!!!! Why would I be jealous of you?!?!?! PLUS!!!!
You sound like an overstuffed pig while singing!!!!!

Jin: *Dramatic GASP*
YOU TAKE THAT BACK!!!!!

Taehyung: Or what?! What are you going to do about it?! BUSH TAIL!!!!!

Jin: BUSH TAIL?!?!?!
YOU'RE SO MEAN!!!!!!!!
WELL!!!!!! YOUR HAIR LOOKS LIKE DRIED UP CRUSTY NOODLES!!!!!

You try hard to contain your laugh as you listen to their bickering.
Jin and Taehyung continue bickering as Namjoon grips the steering wheel tighter.

Taehyung: GREAT!!!!
JUST GOES TO SHOW THAT NO ONE SHOULD EVER LISTEN TO YOUR ADVICE!!!!!!!
AND ALSO!!!!!!! I REPLACED YOUR DIET COCA COLA WITH NORMAL COCA COLA!!!!!!
YOU HAVE BEEN DRINKING IT FOR A WEEK NOW AND HAVEN'T NOTICED!!!!!

Jin: YOU LIMP EARED-----

Namjoon: Stop yelling!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Or I'll make you both run 1000 laps around the island!!!!!
And make sure you both don't use your powers...

Taehyung and Jin immediately fall silent at Namjoon's yelling as he's clearly annoyed.
Namjoon sighs as his expression turns blank and you laugh hard.
Not being able to hold it in anymore.
It catches his attention and he looks at you.
You see him looking and he immediately looks at the road again.
You stop laughing and feel awkward.
After what feels like an eternity...

Namjoon: Ahem...

Namjoon clears his throat catching your attention...

Namjoon: So...do you have any questions?
I mean regarding your training?

Stella: Well...uhm...only one...
How long do you think it'll take me to master my powers?
Like I haven't even learned how to teleport yet...
I still need this bracelet to help keep my horns and batwing*Namjoon moves a bit in his seat at the mention of them* from just popping up...
To stop me from frying someone...

Namjoon: Well...mhm...
Honestly speaking...
Not that long...
I say 4 weeks tops...

Stella: That fast?

Namjoon: Well...it seems you're a fast learner and you try hard...
You seem very dedicated...uhm...

You blush as you listen to him and play with your hair.

Is this really Namjoon that's saying all this to me? O.o

Butterflies erupt in your stomach as his words play over and over in your mind.

Namjoon: Also...I'm...

You look at him urging him to continue.

Namjoon: I'm...
*sigh*
I'm sorry for my behavior yesterday...
It wasn't appropriate.

Stella: O.o

Namjoon: I just take training seriously...
I didn't mean to get that upset.
To-

Namjoon bites his tongue.
You smile at him.

Stella: Oh...it's...fine...
I know you just wanted to help...
Afterall Hoseok said you only want the best for everyone...
And I believe it...
Eventhough it's hard to see sometimes...
Plus I think you've been a great teacher so far.
So thanks for helping me.
I have no idea what I would've done if you hadn't.

Namjoon just nods as he continues focusing on the road.
You smile as you go back to looking out the window.
Jin's eyes are wide and he looks at Taehyung.

Jin: Hey,Tae!!!!! Pssst!!!! Tae!!!*whisper yell*

Taehyung's busy reading and basically ignoring Jin.

Jin: Tae!!!! Pssst!!!! Look at me! Don't you dare ignore me!!!!>:(*whisper yell*

Taehyung sighs as he looks up from his book.
He lightly taps his forehead annoyed.

Taehyung: Lord,give me strength to not smack the fur off of him...*mumbling to himself*

Jin: What did you just say?!*whisper yell*

Taehyung lifts and turns his head looking at Jin with a blank expression.

Taehyung: Nothing...I said nothing...what is it?*whisper*

Jin: Did you see that?! I tell you...
I smell something.

He whispers.

Taehyung: I didn't see anything!!!! I was busy reading!!!!

He whispers annoyed.

Taehyung: And I think that's just your putrid cologne that you're smelling.

He pinches his nose closed.

Taehyung: Seriously it stinks.
It smells like someone ate hard boiled eggs that were left in the sun for 3 months and then after they ate them they had explosive diarrhea in a Taco Bell toilet.

He whispers still pinching his nose closed.

Jin: Shut up!
It's Raja Kapoor!
One of the best brands of cologne in India at the moment!
And it's getting very popular over here too.
You should try it.

He whispers.

Taehyung: And smell like a dumpkapoor?
No thanks.

He whispers back.

Jin: Rude much!*whisper*

After some more driving you all arrive at the mall.
Namjoon stops the car.
The four of you get out.
You look around to see Hoseok,
Hansol,Jen,Jiho and Jungkook.
Hoseok and Hansol are chatting with each other.
Jen and Jiho are chatting with each other.
Jungkook's with his back turned at he's looking around.

Yoongi: Hey,Stella:D

You look around and see Yoongi as he's wearing a smile as usual.
Jen and Jiho stop conversing and look as they hear Yoongi calling you.

Yoongi: Are you excited for today?

You nod making your way over to him.

Stella: Yes,I am...
A day full of relaxation...

Jen: Stella!😄

You look and see her standing with Hansol and Jiho on either side behind her.

Jen: You made it!!!!😁

You walk over to them and give Hansol and Jen a hug before stepping back.
You look at Jen as you're both smiling.

Stella: Of course!

Jen: Today will be so much fun.

Namjoon: Guys?

You all look at him.

Namjoon: Have any of you seen Jimin?

All of you say no and shake your heads.

Come to think of it where is he?

Hoseok: Don't worry...he'll probably arrive right now.

He says with a calm expression and his arms crossed over his chest.
And just as the words left his mouth you all hear the sound of a motorcycle pulling up.
You all look and spot Jimin.

Hoseok: See?

Jimin switches off his motorcycle and gets off wearing a blank expression.
He smiles.

Jimin: Hello,everyone😁

Namjoon: Where have you been?

Jimin's smile dissappears at the question.

Jimin: I went to the gas station to change my motorcycle's tires...

He smiles again.

Jimin: I also have great news...
While at the gas station I was singing a short song I made...
A young Korean Vietnamese looking guy then approached me.
Lee Nguyen Noah Daniel.
He told me he's an intern at an entertainment company and would love for me to join.
He also said he wanted to work there permanently and me joining might help...
Initially I declined the offer eventhough I was intrigued,but then I said I'll try it...
Just to test it out.

You smile widely.

Stella: Yah!!!! It's great! And I'm so happy for you!!! You have a great voice and now everyone will hear it😄

Jimin: Thank you...
And you could go with me...
You could watch and we could maybe even dance and practice together if you wanted and don't mind...
I would love to have you there with me.

Stella: *small smile*
Yah...
I wouldn't mind.
I would love to.
I want to go with you there to support you.
You're my best friend afterall*sweet smile*

Jimin: Thanks,lioness...
Your support means a lot...

Everyone(except Namjoon) congratulates Jimin and tells him that he'll do great.

Namjoon: Yah...congratulations...
It's super great.

Jimin's smile fades as he looks at Namjoon.

Namjoon: Last thing we need is billions of girls watching your every move...
Maybe you'll even gain a few stalkers.

Stella: ...

Namjoon: We should be trying to blend in and not draw too much attention to ourselves...but why would we do that?
Why don't we all just change for all to see and admit the truth?
We might as well just do that,right?

Jimin: You're being ridiculous...seriously...
You take everything so seriously...geez...
Live a little...maybe crack a smile...
Wait...maybe you're incapable of smiling...
Maybe your face is stuck in a permanent frown...
Do you need some oil to loosen up those hinges?

He acts like he's thinking.

Jimin: We have coconut oil,canola oil and olive oil...

He looks at Namjoon.

Jimin: But I doubt that those would help...

You see Taehyung trying his hardest to keep a straight face.
Tears stinging his eyes as he tries not to laugh.

Jimin: Maybe we could use a screw driver or something?
But then it would ruin your face and there'd be a lot of blood...
Mhm...
I don't think anything can help you...
Your face is stuck in a permanent frown...
You'll get wrinkles from all that frowning...
You're suffering from "Namjoon can't relax and have fun because he has a stick up his ass".
I pity that stick though...

You see Taehyung's face turning red as he tries to stop himself from laughing.
Namjoon frowns deeply.

Namjoon: You're seriously disrespectful...
Not that I'm surprised...
You'll never grow up...

Jimin clenches his jaw as he and Namjoon glare at one another.
Everyone is completely silent at this point.
Even Taehyung doesn't dare to laugh.
You gulp as their glaring gets more and more intense as the seconds go by.

Stella: Everyone...e...

Everyone looks at you.

Stella: We should go!
We still have to choose a movie.

Jungkook smiles widely.

Jungkook: Miss Stella is right!!!!
We also need to get snacks!!!!

His nut brown eyes widen.

Jungkook: What if everyone already bought all the snacks?!?!?
We have to go right now!!!!!

Jungkook tries to run but Jimin stops him.
You all look at him confused.

Jimin: Wait...I smell blood...
Is anyone bleeding?

Everyone shakes their heads...
Everyone except Yoongi...
He's avoiding your gaze.
His arms behind his back.

Stella: Yoongi?

Yoongi stands up straighter as he looks at you with a blank expression.

Yoongi: Mhm?

Stella: Are you hiding something?

His eyes widen for a second.

Yoongi: No...

Stella: Then you wouldn't mind showing me your hands now would you?

Yoongi: I'm fine...
Nothing's wrong...

I put my hands on my hips and look at him with a serious expression.

Stella: Min Yoongi...

His looks at you surprised before his expression turns blank again.

Yoongi: Fine...

He brings his hands out from behind his back and his right hand immediately gets your attention as you see his palm bleeding.
You take it in your hands.
All the others watch surprised.

Stella: Yoongi!!!!!
When did this happen?! Are you okay?! Does it hurt?!

Yoongi: I was sort of...in an accident...almost...

Stella: WHAT?!

Yoongi: I was in my car...I was waiting for the light to turn green...
It was taking a while and so I just looked around a bit...
But I then saw a little boy running around in the street...
A car was speeding towards him and it didn't seem like the driver knew what was happening...
I know what I did was stupid...but I jumped out of my car,grabbed the boy and jumped out of the car's way in time...
We fell on the concrete side walk...
The boy was unharmed...
But I injured my hand a bit during the fall...
The boy's sister thanked me and I got a hug from the boy.
I washed my hand...after that it was fine...
But I guess it started bleeding again...

Stella: Argh!!!!!!!
You stupid!!!!! Selfless idiot!!!!!

Everyone stares at your outburst surprised.

Stella: I'm happy that the boy was okay!
But you should really be more careful!!!!
You could've really gotten hurt badly!!!!!

You quickly head into a shop as Yoongi calls out to you.
You come back with a loose gauze bandage.
You carefully take his hand not wanting to hurt him and tell the others they can look away if they want.
You're mostly saying it to Jimin.
Jiho immediately looks away and Jimin looks away as well.
You take the old bandage and put the new one on.

Yoongi: *small smile*

Not long after you finish wrapping his hand and look at your work...

Stella: Luckily my mom worked in the medical field...
Though I haven't done this in a while so...
Is it feeling okay? Should I-

Yoongi gives a gentle smile showing his chin dimple.

Yoongi: It's fine...thank you...

Stella: Make sure to change the bandages,okay?
If you don't then I'll do it myself!
Understand?

Yoongi: *small nod smiling while looking at you*

You take a few tissues and wrap the old bandage before disposing of it.
You walk back and without a word take Yoongi's wrapped hand.

Yoongi: Stella-

Without a word you bow your head as you bring his palm to your lips.
You kiss his wrapped palm with your eyes closed.
His eyes widen and your action takes the others by surprise as well.
Yoongi's face turns a little pink as he stands unmoving and Jen chuckles.
Jimin glances a few times and Namjoon silently watches.
You slowly lift your head and stand up straight and then open your eyes.
As you open your eyes you see Yoongi's face is completely red.
Even his ears.

Stella: My mom always did this when I got hurt...
I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable-

Yoongi slowly shakes his head as his surprised expression melts into a gentle smile.

Yoongi: It's fine.
And.
You told me to stop overthinking whatever I do and just to do it and that you've never felt uncomfortable around me and never will.
The same goes for you.

You smile and nod.

Stella: Mhm.
I guess we should all get going now😊

Jungkook: Yayyy!!!!!! Let's go get snacks!!!!^^

He runs off happily.

Hoseok: Jungkook!!!! Wait up!!!!

-Choice end: Kim Namjoon-
-Choice start: Park Jimin-

You look between them and then your eyes settle on Jimin as he's patiently waiting for your answer.

Okay...I know who I'll go with...

Him.

Stella: I choose Jimin...I mean I'll go with Jimin...

Jimin silently turns to you.
He then walks over to you and stops infront of you.
He extends his right hand towards you with a proud smile on his face.
You see Namjoon rolling his chestnut brown eyes in your peripheral vision.

Jimin: M'lady,your chariot awaits.

You give a slight smile as you take his right hand.

He leads you to his motorcycle.
You take your helmet and put it on.
But you struggle to tie it.

Jimin: Allow me...

His hands go to the straps of the helmet hanging loosely on either side of your face.

Jimin: Mhm...

He then leans in and bites the hard part of the strap.
You blush.
A few seconds go by and then the strap clicks.
He tightens it a bit...making sure it's not too tight or too loose.

Jimin: There...
It was a bit bent...

You gulp and thank him.
Jimin smiles showing his dimple and leans in a bit more.

Jimin: You know you look pretty hot either way...
Clothes or not...

He whispers the last sentence.

Jimin: But I really do wonder how you'd look in full motorcycle gear...
*mischievous smirk*

His chocolate brown eyes travel the length of your body.

Jimin: I really think we should go dirt biking or something one day...
I would teach you how to ride...*emphasizing the word "ride"*

Stella: Uhm...yah...that would be nice*blush*

Namjoon: Are you done now?

Jimin's smile dissappears as he looks at Namjoon.

Namjoon: We should really get going...

Jimin: Hold on,Kim.
I'm having a conversation here.
I know where to go so you could've gone already.
In case you think I might do something to her...
Which I've already done and I plan on doing again and again😁
I'd like to remind you that there's this thing everyone has...
"Self control"...
Ever heard of it?

Namjoon holds Jimin's gaze and then nods his head silently and walks around the car getting in.
Taehyung and Jin follow.
Jungkook gets into Hoseok's car and Yoongi in his own.
All of them drive off.
Jimin smiles satisfied and turns his attention back to you.
He gets on the motorcycle.
He gestures for you to hop on and you do.
You wrap your arms tightly around his waist...
Not leaving any space between the two of you as you lean your chin on his shoulder with a shy smile.
So cute T■T
Jimin sighs happily as he looks down at your hands and tightens your grip around him with a smile.

Jimin: She's so cute...

Jimin looks at the side mirror of his motorcycle to look at you.
You catch him looking and look away keeping your chin on his shoulder.

Jimin: Seriously...
I promise to keep her safe...
Always...
Ready?

Stella: Uh-huh...

You tighten your grip on him.

Jimin: *chuckle*

He looks infront of him.

Jimin: This woman will be the death of me...

He smiles as you two drive off.
Not long after Jimin drives into a gas station and kills the engine...
Getting off the motorcycle.
You raise your eyebrow at him.

Jimin: I need to change the tires quickly.

You move to get off.

Jimin: *smile*
It won't take that long...
You can wait over there.

He points at the beautiful view of the buildings and so on as the gas station is above ground level.

Jimin: Or you could watch me...

Stella: I'll go over there...
Call me once you're done...

He takes off his jacket...putting it on the petrol pump.

Jimin: Okay then...

You walk over to the wall and look around at the buildings and people strolling in the busy streets below.
A light,cool breeze blows.

What a nice view...

Some time goes by.

Mhm...maybe I should look how Jimin's doing with the tires...

You turn around to see Jimin busy changing the first tire as his back is facing you.
His shirt is full of black streaks but he doesn't seem to care.
Your eyes travel down his back and then stop just at where his shirt ends.

Now that...

That's an even better view...

You think as you're busy looking at his ass for those of you who haven't gotten it yet XD.
You bite your lip as you watch.
He turns around as he sensed someone aka you watching him.
He calls you but you don't see and hear as you continue watching deep in thought with your eyes still on where his ass was BEFORE he turned.

Jimin: Kim Stella!!!!!!

And then finally him calling you registers and brings you back to reality as you look at him.

Jimin: Did something by any chance catch your attention?*smirk*

Your eyes widen.

Stella: N-no!!!!!!
I was looking at the tires...

Jimin: More like staring...
Maybe you should watch where you're looking...
I know you were checking me out...
But even when I turned around...
You were sort of looking..staring at something...
Obviously not a tire...

You blush as you know you can't lie now.

Jimin: If you don't want to get caught...try to be more subtle...
Anyways...I'm almost done...
Just need to do the last tire...

You nod...turning your back to him as you have an argument with yourself in your mind and he continues to smile watching you in amusement.

Jimin: Who would've thought she'd be the one doing it...
Checking me out...
Usually I do it...
Not that I'm complaining...
Maybe I should make sure she's present when I change my motorcycle's tires:D

Jimin chuckles to himself as he moves onto the second tire.
Some time goes by as Jimin finishes replacing the second tire.
He turns around to see you looking at the sky.
You've calmed down a little from how you embarrassed yourself earlier XD.

Jimin: Hey,sexy!!!!!*smile*

You turn around and stare at him with your eyes wide.
You see and hear some girls laughing as they watch you and Jimin.
You blush as you look away.

Jimin: 🎶Sexy,sexy lady🎵

Shit!!!! What is he doing?!?!?!

Jimin: 🎶Give me some of your attention🎵
🎶I know we've been through a lot🎵
🎶But somehow...someway...🎵
🎶There's no declension🎵
🎶So please...oh...please,sexy sexy lady🎵
🎶If it's not too much to ask🎵

Jimin extends his hand towards you.
Girls are squealing and people are cheering you on to go to him.
You blush as you walk with your head down and take his hand.
He tilts your chin up ad he sings the last verse.

Jimin: 🎶Give me some of your attention🎵

You blush as he smiles at you...
People cheering.
You lightly hit him in the chest.

Stella: *blush*
Y...you're such a show off...

Jimin: And you love me for it.

Young guy: Sir!!!! Excuse me!!!!!

You and Jimin hear a guy sounding guy trying to get Jimin's attention.
You guys see it's a Korean Vietnamese looking guy that's taller than you and Jimin.
He has curious chocolate brown eyes,light brown skin and dark brown hair wearing a baseball cap approaching as he's smiling widely.
He honestly reminds you of a puppy in a good way.

Young guy: Sorry for bothering.
I'm Lee Nguyen Noah Daniel.
LNND for short.

Daniel extends his hand towards Jimin for a handshake.
Jimin shakes his hand as Daniel continues to smile brightly.

Jimin: I'm Park Jimin and this is my best friend,Kim Stella.
Nice to meet you,Daniel.

Daniel: The pleasure is all
mine!*beaming*
I couldn't help but overhear how good your singing was.
I'm interning at an entertainment company.
And we're looking for more talent you see.
So I was hoping that you would join.
We could really use someone like you!

Wow!!!!!

Jimin: Thanks for the offer...but I'm not really interested...

Daniel's smile fades.

Jimin: Yah,I love singing and dancing...but it's just a hobby.
So...I'm going to pass.

Daniel: But sir!
You have so much potential!!!!
I also want to work at the company permanently.
It's always been a dream of mine...
And you joining could help it come true...

Stella: T^T

Jimin doesn't say anything.
Daniel walks away sad as you turn to Jimin.

Stella: Jimin...why did you say no?
You could've said yes...

Jimin: I'm just not interested in working at an entertainment company...
I'm fine with the job...jobs I already have...

Stella: I know...but you have talent...
It deserves to get seen by others.
You could just try it out and decide if you want to back out.
Plus just look at him...

You gesture to Daniel standing by the vending machine trying to get a drink as he continues to look sad.
Jimin looks at you.

Jimin: Okay then...

Jimin smiles and takes your hand...walking towards Daniel.
You guys stop behind him as he's still looking at the vending machine.

Daniel: Ah! My money! My drink!!!!
Can this day get any worse?

Jimin: I don't think so...

Daniel turns around and sees you and Jimin.
His eyes widen.

Daniel: Mr.Park?

Jimin: Nah...call me Jimin.

He says with a blank expression.

Jimin: About working for the company...
I think I'll give it a go...

Daniel: Really?!?!

Jimin: Yah...but don't get too excited...
I'm only doing this because I like trying things at least once...
Secondly...I'm agreeing to only try it to test it out...
Only that...
Not to work there permanently.

Daniel: This is such great news!!!!
Oh!!!!
I can't wait!
Here's the address and number.

Jimin takes the card.

Daniel: Call anytime you want! I'll be sure to tell the company to keep an eye and ear out for you.

Daniel runs away happily as he hops in his car and drives off...
Completely forgetting about his money and drink.

Stella: Yay!!!! I'm so excited for you!!!!

He smiles at your excitement for him.

Stella: You're going to be singing for millions...no...
BILLIONS of people!!!!!:D

Jimin: Slow down...I haven't even tried it yet...
And even if I do end up taking it as a job...
Even if I end up singing for billions...
I wouldn't care much since I'll be focusing on you...
You saw my talent first...

Stella: *blush*

Jimin: Maybe you could go with me and learn...
Then you'll definitely achieve your childhood dream of opening a singing and dancing school.

Stella: I'd rather watch you instead...
Plus I want to reach this dream on my own.

Jimin: I understand...
Just don't hesitate to ask me for help,okay?

You nod.

Stella: Also your shirt is dirty...

Jimin: Oh yah...I sort of forgot...
It's easy to forget stuff when I'm around you...
Anyways...I'll go buy a new shirt and we can go,okay?

You nod as Jimin walks into the store and comes back a few minutes later wearing a clean shirt.
Holding his dirty one in his hand.
He takes his jacket and dirty shirt.
He puts his dirty shirt away and puts on his jacket.
You two hop on the motorcycle and drive off.
Not long after you two arrive and get off the motorcycle.
You look around to see Hoseok,
Hansol,Jen,Jiho and Jungkook.
Hoseok and Hansol are chatting with each other.
Jen and Jiho are chatting with each other.
Jungkook's with his back turned at he's looking around.
The others look at you two.
Namjoon's looking a bit intensely to be completely honest.
Jen and Hansol wave and hug you.

Namjoon: I see you finally decided to show up...

He says looking at Jimin as Jimin smiles.

Jimin: Yep...

Namjoon: We've been waiting here for more than 15 minutes already...

Jimin: I know...I had some stuff to do.
I had to change my motorcycle's tires so...but I'm here now...

Namjoon: Yah...but maybe next time take other people's time into consideration...

Jimin's smile fades.

Jimin: You're making it sound like I deliberately took my time...
Wish honestly is the case...
I mean almost every time I want to spend time with Stella alone then we get interrupted...
So can you honestly blame me?
Seriously,Namjoon...
You need to chill out...
You haven't even chosen a movie yet...
Learn to let loose a little...
Also I didn't ask you two wait for me...

You feel the tension in the air getting thicker and thicker by the second.
You let out a nervous laugh.

Stella: G-guys...Jimin has some great news!!!!
Jimin!!!! Tell them!!!!

He smiles.

Jimin: Sure...
While at the gas station I sang a short song I made.
People loved it.
They were cheering and everything.
After I finished I saw a young Korean Vietnamese looking guy named Lee Nguyen Noah Daniel came to me.
He explained how he's an intern at an entertainment company.
How he wants to work there permanently and that if I join it might help make that happen.
Initially I declined the offer eventhough I was intrigued,but then I said I'll try it...
Just to test it out.

Stella: Yah!!!! It's great! And I'm so happy for you!!! You have a great voice and now everyone will hear it😄

Jimin: Thank you...
And you could go with me...

I would love to have you there with me.

Stella: *small smile*
Yah...

I would love to.
I want to go with you there to support you.
You're my best friend afterall*sweet smile*

Jimin: Thanks,lioness...

Everyone(except Namjoon) congratulates Jimin and tells him that he'll do great.

His arms behind his back.

Yoongi slowly shakes his head as his surprised expression melts into a gentle smile.

Yoongi: It's fine.
And.
You told me to stop overthinking whatever I do and just to do it and that you've never felt uncomfortable around me and never will.
The same goes for you.

You smile and nod.

Stella: Mhm.
I guess we should all get going now😊

Jungkook: Yayyy!!!!!! Let's go get snacks!!!!^^

He runs off happily.

Hoseok: Jungkook!!!! Wait up!!!!

-Choice end: Park Jimin-
-Choice start: Min Yoongi-

You look between them and then your eyes settle on Yoongi as he's still awkwardly looking down.

Okay...I know who I'll go with...

Him.

Stella: I choose Yoongi...I mean I'll go with Yoongi...

Yoongi immediately looks up and at you as his russet brown eyes are wide and his lips parted.

Jimin: Him? I mean Yoongi's nice and all...but I thought she'd picked me...
But she picked him instead...
On the bright side she didn't pick Namjoon:3

Yoongi: M...me?

Stella: Yah...if you don't mind that is...

He shakes his head and smiles.

Yoongi: It's perfectly fine by me...
Just didn't expect you'd choose me...
But I'm glad you did...
I don't know what it is...
But this happiness I've been feeling...
It...feels different...
I don't know how to explain it...
And now that she chose to go with me...
I feel even happier...

Stella: Uh...Yoongi...are you okay?
You're staring ( ' • • )

His eyes widen and his smile dissappears.

Yoongi: Oh...sorry...

He looks around and then at you.

Yoongi: I see the others have left already...
We should go too.

You nod and walk to the car door...about to open it...
But Yoongi stops you and does it for you.
You smile at him as he's smiling at you.

Stella: Thank you...

You get in and he closes the door behind you.
He walks around the car and gets in.
You two drive off.
You two continue driving as you look at all the buildings and people with a big smile on your face.
As you do Yoongi glances at you two times smiling but you don't notice T_T

Yoongi: Ahem.

Yoongi clears his throat...catching your attention.
You turn in your seat tearing your gaze away from your window to look at him.

Yoongi: So...
After you told us about your training I asked Hoseok about it too.
Not because I didn't believe what you said though...
I was just a bit curious to hear more and he said it really went well.

Stella: If you see me almost destroying the whole island as that...
Then yes.
I guess my first day of training did go really well:)

Yoongi lets out a soft chuckle as he makes a left turn.
He stops at a red light and then looks at you.

Yoongi: From that and what you said earlier it really sounds like you indeed enjoyed your training...

Stella: I really did...
Words honestly can't express how much.

Yoongi: I'm glad...
Initially I was a bit worried...

Stella: Why?

Yoongi: Well...I know you're a hard worker and very determined...
But Namjoon...
Don't think I'm gossiping or anything.

You shake your head.

Stella: Don't worry about that.
Continue.

He nods.

Yoongi: Namjoon can be a little too hard on people sometimes...
Even the most determined when being trained by Namjoon...
They had...............thoughts....and things to say...
I was worried that it would be the same with you...
But I guess I was worrying unnecessarily...
You got the hand of your powers quite quickly...very impressive...

Stella: Aw thanks...but I still have a lot to learn and so on...
I'm excited but also nervous...

Yoongi: You don't have to be nervous...
You're already doing great...
Things can only get better now...

He looks infront of him.

Yoongi: The light is taking a while to turn green...
No problem though...

He turns the engine off.

Stella: Yah...
Oh! I have an idea...

He looks at you curious.

Yoongi: What idea?

Stella: Let's play a game.

Yoongi: Sure...but what kind of game?

Stella: Mhm...
What about "I spy"?

Yoongi: That sounds great.
You can go first.

Stella: Okay...

You two play 1 round each of "I spy".
You look around and then smile.

Stella: I spy with my little eye...
Something blue.

Yoongi: Blue...

He looks around and then through his window.

Yoongi: I know!

He looks at you.

Yoongi: It's the sky...isn't it?

Stella: No...*smile*
It starts with the letter b.

He looks again and then back at you.

Yoongi: Bicycle?

Stella: Nope:)
Your time is up!
It was a------
Blue butterfly!!!!!!!😁
It's over there!

He looks through the window and then at you.

Yoongi: You cheated!*laugh*

Stella: *pretends to be offended*
Whattttttttttt?
No,I didn't.

Yoongi: The butterfly is so small and it's flying around so...

Stella: Yah,but I still win and you lose*sticking out tongue smiling*

Yoongi: Yah,you win...*soft smile and chuckle looking into your eyes*
Okay...it's my turn now...
Then the light should turn green.

Stella: Yah,it'll turn green now...
I think it might be broken or something.

Yoongi: Yah...okay...so...

He looks.

Yoongi: I spy with my little eye...
S-

His eyes widen and you see his smile fading immediately.
Fear visible.

Yoongi: SHIT!!!!! NO! NO!! NO!!!

Yoongi immediately unbuckles his seatbelt and jumps out of the car before you can say anything.
Your head starts hurting a bit as you try and see where he went...

What's...happening...?

You try and relax as you look up to see Yoongi running into oncoming traffic.
Cars whipping past him as he runs through.
Nearly almost getting hit.

What's he doing?!?!?!

You panic and try to unbuckle your seatbelt.
But it doesn't budge.

Stella: YOONGI!!!!!!!

You see a little boy in the street.
An incoming car...
The driver not knowing what's happening and Yoongi running to the boy.
You see Yoongi grabbing the little boy and jumping out of the way in time.
They fall on the concrete sidewalk.
You see people gathering to look as you try and get your seatbelt loose.
Finally you get it loose and immediately jump out and run towards Yoongi and the boy laying on the sidewalk.
You reach the crowd of people and push through.

Stella: Sorry!
Coming through!
He's my friend! Sorry! Coming through.

You finally get through...
You look down and gasp...
Covering your mouth...

Stella: Yoongi!!!!!

You see Yoongi holding the little boy as he's laying on his back...
Both of them seemingly unconscious.
You immediately rush to his side.
People are panicking and asking questions but you're only focused on the little boy and Yoongi.
You shake them both.

Stella: ...

You hold your breath as you wait...
Then you see the little boy opening his eyes...
He looks around him...confused...
He then looks at you.

Little boy: Miss...what happened?

He tries to get up.
You help him.
You help him dust himself off as all the people watch.
The little boy looks down with his hands infront of him.

Little boy: Miss...what happened? Where's noona? I want to go home...

You see the boy's eyes tearing up.
You take out a tissue and wipe his tears.

Stella: Hey...don't worry...
You're safe now...

Little boy: Because of that nice uncle over there?

Stella: Yes...don't worry...
We'll find your sister.

Yoongi: Yes,we will...

You and the boy turn looking to see Yoongi sitting up.

Yoongi: Don't worry...little guy...
Everything will be fine---

Before Yoongi could complete his sentence you immediately jumped on him and gave him a hug...
Resting your head on his shoulder.
His eyes are wide as he turns his head a little to look at you.

Yoongi: Stella----

Stella: Yoongi!!!!!
Are you crazy?!?!?! Are you trying to kill me?!?!?!

Yoongi: I----

Stella: You keep on endangering yourself...*sniff*
I'm happy you're okay...
That he's okay...

You gesture to the little boy as your back is facing him.

Stella: But...

Yoongi: Stella...*whisper*

Yoongi places his hands on your waist.

Yoongi: Stella...look at me...

You shake your head...
Refusing to listen as you bury your face in the crook of his neck.

Yoongi: Stella...*really,really soft tone*

He calls your name in a really low voice...asking you to look at him.
You lift your head up...not looking him directly in the eye...
He looks at you calmly.

Yoongi: I'm okay...
No harm done...nothing...
So you don't have to worry...

He pulls you into a hug.
Resting his chin on your shoulder.

Yoongi: See? I'm okay...I'm conscious...I'm talking to you...

Stella: But-----

Lady: Kwan!!!!! Kwan!!!! Where are you?!?!?! Kwan?!?!?!

Everyone turns their attention to a young woman.

Lady: Kwan?!?!?!?! Kwan-----

Her eyes widen as she spots him.

Lady: Kwan!!!!!!!!

Little boy: Noona!!!!!!

The young woman immediately rushes to the little boy that seems to be named Kwan.
She kneels down and gives him a tight hug.
After a few seconds she lets go as the boy as looking down at the ground apologetically.

Lady: Do you have any idea how worried I was?!?!?!
And why are your clothes dirty?! Did you---

Stella: He was in the street and a car almost hit him...

Her eyes widen at your words.

Lady: What?!

Stella: My friend...
Yoongi jumped out of the car,grabbed him and they fell on the side walk...

Little boy: Noona,I'm sorry...
You...I shouldn't have done what I did...
Please forgive me...

Lady: No...I'm at fault...I wasn't paying attention as I should've have...
I almost lost you...*sigh*

She looks at Yoongi.

Lady: Thank you so much...
If you hadn't...
I don't know what I would've done...

Yoongi: It's okay...
Just take good care of him...

Lady: Of course...

She looks at her brother.

Lady: I'll even buy your favorite ice cream...
We can go to the park too...

He looks at her with big eyes.

Little boy: But what about your shopping?

She shakes her head.

Lady: That can wait...

She smiles.

Lady: Now let's go and get some ice cream...
Lots of it,but don't tell mom.

The little boy smiles widely and jumps.

Little boy: I promise!!!!

The two of them walk off but then the little boy turns around.
He runs over to you and Yoongi and hugs you both tightly.
His one arm around Yoongi's neck and his other around yours.
You're both honestly surprised.

Little boy: Thank you so much,Yoongi sir and Miss Stella.

He pulls you two closer to him...
Unknowingly pulling you and Yoongi closer together.
You try and look away but if you even turn a bit you...might...
Accidentally kiss Yoongi:)
The little boy then lets go and Yoongi tells him to be good and to listen to his sister.
He agrees to the two of them leave...
Even all the other people have left.
Yoongi turns back to look at you to just realize how close you two actually are.
You're basically sitting on his lap as he's still sitting on the ground.
Specifically the side walk.
His eyes are wide and so are yours.
You feel a light tug...
As if some invisible force is pulling you to him...
His surprised expression vanishes as he looks you in the eye...
Like he's searching for something...
His eyes flit from your eyes to your lips and back again.
You're so close that you can feel his heart beating against your chest...
Feel his breath on your face.
It smells like mint;)
You stare and gulp...making no move to pull away or anything.
He stares into your eyes as he brings his hand to your cheek...
You look at him completely surprised at the action.
He gently tilts your chin up.
He leans closer...
Closer...
And even closer.
At this point if you even turn your head then your lips would brush against his.
He closes his eyes...
About to lean in to meet your lips.
You make no move to pull him or pull away as he leans in.
And just as it's about to happen.

Cleaner: Seriously...what...just what is it with people that they have to have their K drama moments here?!?!?!
I just want to do my job!!!! Get out of the way!!!!

Just as Yoongi's about to kiss you a man tells you two to move and without thinking you turn your head away from Yoongi and his lips land on your cheek instead.
He backs away...
His eyes still closed...
After a few seconds he opens his eyes looking at you surprised and confused.

Cleaner: Are you two going to move or what?

Yoongi looks at him over his shoulder still holding your cheek.

Cleaner: Just move...I have a job to---

And that's when you realize that it's the same man that scolded you and Jimin that day when you tripped but Jimin caught you in time.
The cleaner's eyes widen in recognition.

Cleaner: It's you again!!!!!
And with a different guy this time!!!!!
What happened to Blondie?

Yoongi takes his hand away from your cheek and continues to look at the man as you sputter and blush...
Because people are now watching and whispering.

Yoongi: Are you talking about Jimin?

Cleaner: If that's his name then yes!!!!
She was here with him too!!!!
Well not here here.
She was on the opposite side of this street with him*pointing*
They looked pretty cozy!!!!
Son,I have to be honest with you!!!!
She's playing you and that Jimin!!!!
It's really not worth it!!!! Run away while you still can!!!!
Before she can sink her teeth and nails into you and everything!!!!
I speak from experience!
I know I'm not much of a looker now that I'm in my 50s and have a belly but*dramatically wiping imaginary sweat from his forehead*
When I was younger I was a stud.
A stud I tell you!

Yoongi: Jimin is one of my friends and flatmates.

The cleaner's eyes widen even more and he puts his hand over his mouth in dramatic disbelief.

Cleaner: Holy soju!!!!!!
The plot thickens!!!!!

He takes his hand off.

Cleaner: What has happened with today's generation?!?!?!
Back in my day such things never happened!!!!
And if it did you'd get a lot of backlash!!!!
But don't worry.
I can help!!!!!
I have a house!!!!! It's not big but you can live with me!!!!
Just come with me and leave her.
Who knows maybe this Jimin knows that she's playing you and the two of them are secretly doing stuff behind you back?!?!?!
Just leave her and come with me!
She's just playing you!!!!

Yoongi gently helps you off his lap and gets up from the ground dusting himself off.
He then extends his hand towards you and you take it.
He pulls you up and then faces the man as you stand behind him.

Cleaner: Just look!!!!!
Just look how selfless he is!!!!
He's still helping her even after knowing the truth!!!!!!
Oh...Lord be with him...*being dramatic*

Yoongi crosses his arms.

Yoongi: Sir,I appreciate your concern...
I really do...
But with all due respect...
What you're thinking and saying about her is complete and utterly nonsense.
She's not that kind of person.
And even if she is...then...
I honestly wouldn't see her any differently...

Your eyes widen and you lift your gaze from the ground looking at him from your spot behind him.

Yoongi: Me and her are just friends...
Nothing more...
What she does isn't my or anyone's business.
Even if she does things behind my back as you say...
I'll still see and treat her the same way as I've always done.
Nothing will ever change that.
She's my friend...
My sweet,caring,selfless,beautiful,
dedicated,hard working friend.
Since I've met her she's been nothing other than that.
She has been through more than enough already and she's still going through some stuff and so she definitely doesn't need people making assumptions about her and spreading lies...
Maybe you should get your facts straight before you say something,sir.
Speaking without any proof isn't anything to be proud of and could land you in trouble.

Yoongi grabs your hand and gives it a gently squeeze.
You look at it and then up again.

Yoongi: What you said are not facts.
I don't like lies...
I know I might sound rude and arrogant...but that's not me and that's not my intention.
I'll always defend my friends...
Don't expect me to just sit back and watch if they're in trouble...
So next time get your facts straight and then talk.
But I'm sure there probably and most likely won't be a next time but still.
Take this as a lesson.
I hope you have a pleasant rest of your day,sir.
I'm not angry with you and I sincerely hope you have a pleasant rest of your day.

He bows and then walks away...
Still holding your hand as he pulls you with him...
Leaving the man and onlookers stunned.
The two of you come to a stop next to his car.
And he's still holding your hand...

Stella: Yoongi...*whisper*

He turns around...letting your hand go.
He looks down and rubs the side of his neck.

Yoongi: Ah...I'm sorry...
Did I say something wrong...did I maybe hurt you?
If I did...then I'm sorry...I...I...shouldn't have grabbed your hand and pulled you like that...
I won't do it again...sorry...

You walk closer to him.
You take his right hand and intertwine your fingers as he looks at you surprised.

Stella: Yoongi...
*sigh*
You didn't do anything wrong...
What you did...both things you did...
Saving that boy...
Defending me...
I didn't expect you to defend me...
But I appreciate it...
I'm...
I'm lucky...no...
I'm blessed to have you in my life...

He smiles.

Stella: I feel comfortable with you...
I know I can trust you...
I know I can tell you anything and everything...

I won't tell him about what Jimin and I are doing...

Stella: I know you would stand by my side...
Even if everyone's against me...
I appreciate and care for you a lot,Min Yoongi.
So please...

You lean in as you look deep into his widening eyes.

Stella: You're a very selfless person,Yoongi...

You bring your right hand to his cheek.

Stella: Sometimes stupidly selfless...
But honestly...

You step closer to him as you lean in more.
You see a light pink blush on his cheeks.
The tips of his ears are pink too T■T
You give a small smile as his face turns even more pink.

He's so cute...

You caress his cheek.

Stella: I love that about you...
Your kind heart...everything...
You're perfect the way you are...

Before Yoongi can say anything...
You tilt your head up as you lean in...closing your eyes...
And place a featherlight kiss at the corner of his mouth.
You hear Yoongi letting out a soft gasp...but he doesn't say anything or tries to push you away.
After a few seconds you pull away as you open your eyes.
You see his eyes look a bit brighter.
He places his hand on the corner of his mouth that you just kissed.

Stella: Don't ever feel the need to change.
Okay?

Yoongi: Y...yah*still in shock*

Stella: Also I should technically punish you for almost giving me a heart attack.

You let out a laugh.
He smiles and lets out a soft chuckle.

Yoongi: If you think so...then you can...if you want...
Whenever you want...wherever you want...however you want...
As much as you want...
I'll accept it...

He takes his hand off.

Yoongi: She looks even more beautiful when she's happy...
Just like an angel...
I...I hope that I can be the reason for her happiness in the future...
And if not...I at least hope to be able to contribute to it...
Even if it's not much...I'll still be happy...
I'll do whatever I can to see a smile lighting up your face everyday...
Afterall...you're part of my happiness...
And I want to give back what you make me feel everyday...
What you make me feel when you look at me...
What you make me feel when you smile at me...
What you make me feel when I see your face...
What you make me feel when I think about you...
What you make me feel when you laugh...
What you make me feel when you are near me...
When you touch me...
When I make you laugh and smile...
I've never felt this kind of happiness before...
Until I met you...Kim Stella...
The happiness I'm feeling right now...
I...it's getting stronger everyday...
I don't know what it means...
But it feels nice...
And I want to share it with you...
I hope to make you feel what I'm feeling...
What I'm feeling in my heart...
I don't know why I'm feeling it...
But what I do know...
Is that I don't want it to stop...
Ever...
I want to continue experiencing this feeling...

You laugh more as you take his right hand and squeeze it.

Yoongi: Ouch!!!!!

Yoongi winces and pulls his hand away from yours.

Stella: Yoongi,are you okay? Did you get hurt?
Give me your hand.

Yoongi: Why? I'm fine. Just a little electric shock that's all...
Anyways we should get going...
The others are probably wondering where we are...so...

Stella: Min Yoongi!!!! Give me your hand right now or else!!!!!!

His eyes widen.

Yoongi: F...fine...

Yoongi extends his hand towards you as he looks a bit afraid of you T^T

Stella: You...you're bleeding!!!!!
You got hurt when you fell on the sidewalk,right?!?!?!

Yoongi: Y-

Stella: It looks so painful...

Yoongi: I was hoping she wouldn't see it*mumbling to himself*

Stella: You what?!?!?!

Yoongi: Uh...I think I just said that outloud...

Stella: You knew you got hurt and yet you tried hiding it from me?!?!?!
Yoongi!!!!!!

Yoongi: *scared in meow meow*
It's not a big deal...it's a small injury...
I...I didn't want to worry you unnecessarily...

Stella: "Worry me unnecessarily"?!?!?!
You do know that this small injury could turn into a big deal if it gets infected,right?!?!?!

Yoongi: Yah,I know but----

Stella: No buts!!!!!
You're selfless and care so much about the health and safety of others...
But when it comes to your own...
It's like you don't care...
Seriously...
Do you have any bandages in the car?

Yoongi: N-no...

Stella: *sigh*
Come on...

Yoongi: Where are we going?
The car is next to---

You whip your head around looking at him.

Yoongi: *super scared in meow meow*

Stella: I know the car is next to us and that it's in the road.
But I don't care.
Whoever comes here can go around.
They have their licenses do they should be able to do that no problem.
Now you.
Min Yoongi will come with me,sit on that bench over there,no questions,no protesting...I'm already angry with you.

Yoongi: But----

Stella: I said no protesting and no buts...

Yoongi: She's kind of scary right now...but I know she cares about me...
So I should just listen...otherwise she won't stop...
Okay...

You lead him towards the bench and help him sit down.

Stella: Since you don't have any bandages in your car...
I want you to stay here while I get some from the shop.
Just stay here. I'll be back soon,okay?

Yoongi: *nod*

You quickly run to go buy some bandages.
Not long after you exit the shop and approach Yoongi small bag in hand with supplies.

Stella: I'm back...

He lifts his head and looks at you as you kneel down infront of him.
You take out all the supplies from the bag and put them next to Yoongi on the bench.

Stella: I got everything.

Yoongi: Uh...I know you said I shouldn't say anything...
But...I just want to say this...
I thought you said you were only going to get bandages as I don't have any in my car.

He says looking at the supplies.
You nod.

Stella: Yah...
But even if you had some.
I would've gone to get these.
Your injury can't just be wrapped up you know...
It needs to be cleaned...

Yoongi: Mhm...

You take and open the bottle of water and packet of soap...
And wash your hands.
You take a small cloth and dry your hands...

Yoongi: I know I said I wouldn't say anything else but...
Really...
You don't have to do all this...

Stella: I know I don't have to do it...
But I want to do it...
You always take care of others...
Let me take care of you for a change...
At least just this once...

Yoongi: Okay...

Stella: Thank you...
Now sit still so I can clean and bandage your wound.

Yoongi: Mhm...

You take a clean cloth and apply pressure to the wound.
You see Yoongi wincing a bit and ask him if he's okay.

Yoongi: Yah...I'm fine...it just hurt a bit...

You apply pressure as gently as you can and the blood gets absorbed.
You then put the used cloth in the plastic bag and take the bottle and water.
You rinse out the wound and then take the soap.

Stella: Okay...what I'm about to do might sting a bit...

Before Yoongi can say anything you rub the soap over his wound as quickly as possible.

Yoongi: *wince*

Stella: S...sorry...

Yoongi: It's fine...keep going...

You nod and put the soap down.
You then take the antibiotic cream and apply some on the wound.
Yoongi sits completely still as he watches you work...
Both of you completely focused.
You on cleaning his wound and him on watching you do it and looking at you.

Yoongi: She's really cares a lot...
It's just a small wouldn't but she still cares about it...

You rub the cream on the wound in a circular motion.
After you're done with that you put the cream down and take out a piece of gauze.

Stella: Okay...I'm almost done...

You start wrapping the gauze around his hand.
You finish wrapping his hand as he looks at your work.

Stella: Uhm...I know it's not the best...but---

He looks at you.

Yoongi: What are you talking about?
It looks fine...

He gives a sweet smile.

Yoongi: Thank you...

Stella: It's a pleasure...

You say standing up but don't stand up fully as you place your hands on your knees looking directly into his eyes.

Stella: Make sure to change the bandages,okay?
If you don't then I'll do it myself!
Understand?

Yoongi: *shy nod*

You take his good hand and help him up.
He walks to the car planning to get into the driver's seat.
You cross your arms as he's about to reach for the driver's side door.

Stella: Min Yoongi...

He turns around to look at you with a smile on his face.
But his smile drops as he looks at you.

Yoongi: Furrowed eyebrows...arms crossed...leaning on one hip...serious expression...

Stella: What do you think you're doing?

Yoongi: I'm...about to get into the driver's seat and drive us to the mall...*voice squeaks*

You try not to smile at how nervous he clearly is as you want to show him that you're completely serious and not letting him off the hook.

Stella: As if that's going to happen...

Yoongi: What-

Stella: You're not going to drive with that wound in your hand.
We're going to take an Uber.

You take out your phone and get ready to book an uber.

Yoongi: It's not necessary...I can still drive...
It's not a big deal...
It's just a small wound and now it's cleaned and wrapped...so it's fine...

Stella: Small things can lead to big things happening.
I mean just look earlier.

Yoongi: *mind flashing back to how your hug almost resulted in you and him kissing*

Stella: That little boy probably didn't expect him playing in the street would result in a stranger coming to save him and then his relationship with his sister improving and so on.
And so with all that being said we're calling an uber.

Yoongi: But the car-

Stella: I'll pay the uber driver extra to take your car with.

Yoongi: But...

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

He sighs.

Yoongi: *smiles and chuckles*

Stella: What are you laughing
about?*super serious*

Yoongi: Nothing...
It's nothing*smile*
Just order the uber.

Stella: I will😌

You order an uber and then put your phone away.

Stella: Okay...it'll be here in 10 minutes.

Yoongi: Great...

You and Yoongi talk as you two wait for the uber to arrive.
And as you said the uber arrives on time and you ask the driver if he could take the car with.
The driver seems like he doesn't want to but then you tell him you'll pay extra.
He immediately gets out and goes to the back of the uber.
Taking out rope and ties the front of Yoongi's car to the back of the uber.
After that you two and the driver get in.
You give the address and then you 3 drive off.
After a while the mall comes into view.
The driver drives through cars and parks making Yoongi's car park in the space behind the uber as he stops the car.
The driver gets out and unties Yoongi's car as the two of you get out.
The others are too busy to notice.
Hoseok and Hansol are chatting with each other.
Jen and Jiho are chatting with each other.
Jungkook's with his back turned at he's looking around.
You don't spot Jimin but you do see Namjoon looking at you and Yoongi.

Namjoon: Where have you been?

All the others turn and look to see you and Yoongi as you both walk over.
You're about to answer but then you hear a motorcycle.
You guys look to see Jimin parking his motorcycle.
He switches it off,gets off and walks over to you guys.
He smiles.

Jimin: Hello,everyone😁

Jimin smiles at you as Namjoon just watches.

Jimin: I went to the gas station to change my motorcycle's tires...
But I'm here now so...
Also I have great news...
While at the gas station I was singing a short song I made...
A young Korean Vietnamese looking guy named Lee Nguyen Noah Daniel approached me.
He told me he's an intern at an entertainment company and would love for me to join.
He also said he wanted to work there permanently and me joining might help...
Initially I declined the offer eventhough I was intrigued,but then I said I'll try it...
Just to test it out.

You smile widely.

Stella: Yah!!!! And I'm so happy for you!!! You have a great voice and now everyone will hear it😄

Jimin: Thank you...
And you could go with me...
You could watch and we could maybe even dance and practice together if you wanted and don't mind...
I would love to have you there with me.

Stella: *small smile*
Yah...
I wouldn't mind.
I would love to.
I want to go with you there to support you.
You're my best friend afterall*sweet smile*

Jimin: Thanks,lioness...
Your support means a lot...

Everyone(except Namjoon) congratulates Jimin and tells him that he'll do great.

Namjoon: Yah...congratulations...

Jimin's smile fades as he looks at Namjoon.

Namjoon: We should be trying to blend in and not draw too much attention to ourselves...but why would we do that?
Why don't we all just change for all to see and admit the truth?
We might as well just do that,right?

Jimin: You're being ridiculous...seriously...
You take everything so seriously...geez...
Live a little...maybe crack a smile...
Wait...maybe you're incapable of smiling...
Maybe your face is stuck in a permanent frown...
Do you need some oil to loosen up those hinges?

He acts like he's thinking.

Jimin: We have coconut oil,canola oil and olive oil...

He looks at Namjoon.

Jimin: But I doubt that those would help...

You see Taehyung trying his hardest to keep a straight face.
Tears stinging his eyes as he tries not to laugh.

Jimin: Maybe we could use a screw driver or something?
But then it would ruin your face and there'd be a lot of blood...
Mhm...
I don't think anything can help you...
Your face is stuck in a permanent frown...
You'll get wrinkles from all that frowning...
You're suffering from "Namjoon can't relax and have fun because he has a stick up his ass".
I pity that stick though...

You see Taehyung's face turning red as he tries to stop himself from laughing.
Namjoon frowns deeply.

Namjoon: You're seriously disrespectful...
Not that I'm surprised...
You'll never grow up...

Jimin clenches his jaw as he and Namjoon glare at one another.
Everyone is completely silent at this point.
Even Taehyung doesn't dare to laugh.
You gulp as their glaring gets more and more intense as the seconds go by.

Stella: Everyone...e...

Everyone looks at you.

Stella: We should go!
We still have to choose a movie.

Jungkook smiles widely.

Jungkook: Miss Stella is right!!!!
We also need to get snacks!!!!

His nut brown eyes widen.

Jungkook: What if everyone already bought all the snacks?!?!?
We have to go right now!!!!!

Jungkook tries to run but Jimin stops him.
You all look at him confused.

Jimin: Wait...I smell blood...
Is anyone bleeding?

Jungkook: Yoongi hyung's hand is bleeding!!!!! O.o

All of you look and see that Kook is telling the truth.
Yoongi's right hand is bleeding.
It's almost not noticeable as the inside of his hand aka his palm to be more specific is bleeding.

Hoseok: Yoon,what happened?!

He asks concerned for his younger brother.

Jungkook: Does it hurt?:(

Jen: It looks painful*sad expression*

Hansol: It does.

Jimin: I thought I was just imagining the smell of blood...but I was wrong...

He says feeling a bit uncomfortable and you understand.

Namjoon: The bandage is a bit dirty...
Maybe it should get changed...

Jiho: I agree.
It could get infected if he doesn't change the bandage.

Jin: What did you do,Min yoongi?!

Taehyung: Jin. Calm down.

Jin: How can I be calm?!
Also shush!

Taehyung: =_=

Hoseok: Aren't you going to tell us what happened?!

He asks as he's feeling more worried at how quiet Yoongi is.
Everyone continues asking questions as Yoongi continues to stand wide eyed not knowing what to say T_T
His eyes return to their normal size and he calmly explains what happened for him to have his right palm bleeding.
Of course he leaves out the part where you two almost kissed and how you gave him a kiss on the corner of his mouth.

Yoongi: It's just a scratch...
No need to worry...

Hoseok: Well...it easily could've gotten worse if Stella didn't clean and bandage it.
You need to be more careful.

Hoseok says with a serious expression.

Stella: See,GC? Hoseok is saying exactly what I said.
Anyways...luckily I still have some of the gauze.

You carefully take his hand not wanting to hurt him and tell the others they can look away if they want.
You're mostly saying it to Jimin.
Jiho immediately looks away and Jimin looks away as well.
You take the old bandage and put the new one on.

Yoongi: *small smile*

Not long after you finish wrapping his hand and look at your work...

Stella: Luckily my mom worked in the medical field...
Though I haven't done this in a while so...
Is it feeling okay? Should I-

Yoongi gives a gentle smile showing his chin dimple.

Yoongi: It's fine...thank you...

Stella: Make sure to change the bandages,okay?
If you don't then I'll do it myself!
Understand?

Yoongi: *small nod smiling while looking at you*

You take a few tissues and wrap the old bandage before disposing of it.
You walk back and without a word take Yoongi's wrapped hand.

Yoongi: Stella-

Without a word you bow your head as you bring his palm to your lips.
You kiss his wrapped palm with your eyes closed.
His eyes widen and your action takes the others by surprise as well.
Yoongi's face turns a little pink as he stands unmoving and Jen chuckles.
Jimin glances a few times and Namjoon silently watches.
You slowly lift your head and stand up straight and then open your eyes.
As you open your eyes you see Yoongi's face is completely red.
Even his ears.

Stella: My mom always did this when I got hurt...
I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable-

Yoongi slowly shakes his head as his surprised expression melts into a gentle smile.

Yoongi: It's fine.
And.
You told me to stop overthinking whatever I do and just to do it and that you've never felt uncomfortable around me and never will.
The same goes for you. 

You smile and nod.

Stella: Mhm.
I guess we should all get going now😊

Jungkook: Yayyy!!!!!! Let's go get snacks!!!!^^

He runs off happily.

Hoseok: Jungkook!!!! Wait up!!!!

-Choice end: Min Yoongi-
-Choice start: Min Hoseok-

You look between them and then your eyes settle on Hoseok who's still busy on his phone.

Okay...I know who I'll go with...

Him.

Stella: I'll go with Hoseok.

Hoseok takes his eyes off his phone and looks at you surprised.

Stella: If that's okay.

Jimin: The safest option huh instead of choosing between us*chuckle*

Hoseok smiles.

Hoseok: Of course it's fine:)

Jungkook: Yayyyyyyyyyyy^^

He smiles posing with his legs shoulders width apart,his left hand on his hip as his upper body is leaning to his left with his right hand balled into a fist as his arm is held up in the air.

Jungkook: Miss Stella is riding with us!!!!!!!

He stands with his hands on his hips beaming at you.

Jungkook: Let's go!!!!!!!^^

You get into the car's front passenger seat as Jungkook slides into the back and Hoseok gets into the driver's seat.

Hoseok: Ready to go?

He asks you with a smile.

Stella: Yep:)

He looks in the rear view mirror.

Hoseok: Kook?

Jungkook looks at him through the rear view mirror.

Jungkook: Hundred percent^^

Hoseok: Great!

He places his hand on the steering wheel with his other hand on the key in the ignition.

Hoseok: Let's get this show on the road!:)

You and Jungkook laugh as Hoseok starts the car and drives.
You all sit in a comfortable silence as you stare out your window,Jungkook listens to music with his headphones on and Hoseok concentrates on the road ahead.
Then you hear Hoseok's phone going off.

Alexa: You have one new WhatsApp message from Hansol.

You glance at Hoseok and see his eyes widening slightly at what he heard.

Alexa: Would you like to hear the voice message?

Hoseok: Sure...

Alexa: Playing new voice message from Hansol.

Hansol: Hi,Hoseok,I hope I'm not bothering but I just wanted to know if you're all on your way to the mall?
You see...
Jen has been asking me constantly...

Jen: What are you talking---

Hansol: Anyways! I'll see you all soon!!!!!

Alexa: Voice message has ended.
Would you like to reply back?

You glance at Hoseok and him at you.
Honestly this is just hilarious XD.

Hoseok: Sure...start a voice note,Alexa.

Alexa: Starting voice message.

Hoseok: Hey,Hansol...
No,you're not bothering me...
And yes...we're on our way...
We'll be there soon.
Don't forget to tell Jen since she's been asking you....
See you in a bit.

Alexa: Ending voice message.
Would you like to proceed with sending this voice message?

Hoseok: Yes...

Alexa: Sending voice message.
Voice message sent.

Hoseok: Alexa,please put phone on "Do not disturb" mode.

Alexa: Enabling "Do not disturb" mode.
"Do not disturb" mode enabled.
Anything else?

Hoseok: Not at the moment.

Alexa: Okay.

Alexa goes quiet and you go back to looking out the window as Hoseok continues driving and Jungkook still listening to music.

Stella: *clearing throat*

You turn your attention towards Hoseok.
He looks at you and then goes back to focusing on the road.

Stella: Has anything interesting happened lately?

Hoseok: Not really...just work...
Same as usual...
Why do you ask though?

Stella: Just asking...

There are a few seconds of silence as Hoseok doesn't say anything.

Stella: So...
What do you think of Jen and Hansol?

Hoseok: Uh...
Well...
Jen reminds me of Jimin...
Like a female version of him...

Stella: And Hansol? What do you think of him?

Hoseok: Hansol...

Jungkook: Hoseok hyung likes Mr.Hansol a lot!^^

Hoseok looks at Jungkook through the rear view mirror and you turn in your seat to look at Jungkook as he's smiling.

Jungkook: In the past when Hoseok hyung and I played video games he wouldn't answer his phone for anything until we were done...
But ever since the sleepover Hoseok hyung checks his phone when it goes off.
Hoseok hyung doesn't smile often but now.
He smiles a lot while looking at his phone.
He has nice dimples and I see them a lot these days when he's on his phone!
I don't mind at all!!!!!
Mr.Hansol is very nice!^^

Wow!!!!!:)

Hoseok: I check my phone more because of the company I work for...
You remember the anime series?
We're still working on it.
We don't know how long it'll take to finish and so we were told to check our messages regularly.
I smile at my phone because I got messages saying that the people who we're collaborating with...
They love my voice acting.
It includes a lot of yelling...
Which I do on a regular basis...so...

Stella: I understand...
Anyways.
What do you think of him?
Be honest.

Hoseok: Mhm...
Well...
I think he's kind...smart...
That he doesn't pretend to be something he's not...
Well...you get what I mean with that...

You nod.

Hoseok: Him and I get along very well...
We both prefer to be somewhere quiet rather than at a party...
He's Jen's older brother and only sibling...
I'm Yoongi's older brother and only sibling...
We both love art...
We can talk easily with each other...
I don't experience that often so...

Stella: I understand.

Hoseok: And he's also hand---
Handling such a big challenge.
In other words it's to soon start teaching me how to draw...
I'm grateful for his help...
Seriously...I'm terrible at drawing...

Stella: I don't believe that...
But even if you are then I'm sure Hansol will be able to help.

Hoseok: I hope so...
I'm confident in his ability that he can teach anyone easily...
I just hope I'm one of those people...

After some more driving you all arrive at the mall.
Hoseok stops the car.
The three of you get out.
You look around to see Hansol,Jen and Jiho.
Hansol,Jen and Jiho are chatting with each other.
You feel someone's eyes on you...
And it turns out to be Namjoon.

Namjoon: Oh...you're here...
I was wondering when you'd arrive...

Wait...is he talking to me or Hoseok?

The others turn to you as you,Hoseok and Jungkook approach and you're about to say something.
But then you guys hear the sound of a motorcycle and look to see Jimin parking his motorcycle.
He switches it off and gets off and walks over.

Jimin: Hello,everyone😁
I went to the gas station to change my motorcycle's tires.
I also have great news...
While at the gas station I sang a short song I made.
People loved it.
They were cheering and everything.
After I finished I saw a young Korean Vietnamese looking guy named Lee Nguyen Noah Daniel came to me.
He explained how he's an intern at an entertainment company.
How he wants to work there permanently and that if I join it might help make that happen.
Initially I declined the offer eventhough I was intrigued,but then I said I'll try it...
Just to test it out.

You smile widely.

Stella: Yah!!!! It's great! And I'm so happy for you!!! You have a great voice and now everyone will hear it😄

Jimin: Thank you...
And you could go with me...
You could watch and we could maybe even dance and practice together if you wanted and don't mind...
I would love to have you there with me.

Stella: *small smile*
Yah...
I wouldn't mind.
I would love to.
I want to go with you there to support you.
You're my best friend afterall*sweet smile*

Jimin: Thanks,lioness...
Your support means a lot...

Everyone(except Namjoon) congratulates Jimin and tells him that he'll do great.

Namjoon: Yah...congratulations...
It's super great.

Jimin's smile fades as he looks at Namjoon.

Namjoon: Last thing we need is billions of girls watching your every move...
Maybe you'll even gain a few stalkers.

Stella: ...

Namjoon: We should be trying to blend in and not draw too much attention to ourselves...but why would we do that?
Why don't we all just change for all to see and admit the truth?
We might as well just do that,right?

Jimin: You're being ridiculous...seriously...
You take everything so seriously...geez...
Live a little...maybe crack a smile...
Wait...maybe you're incapable of smiling...
Maybe your face is stuck in a permanent frown...
Do you need some oil to loosen up those hinges?

He acts like he's thinking.

Jimin: We have coconut oil,canola oil and olive oil...

He looks at Namjoon.

Jimin: But I doubt that those would help...

You see Taehyung trying his hardest to keep a straight face.
Tears stinging his eyes as he tries not to laugh.

Jimin: Maybe we could use a screw driver or something?
But then it would ruin your face and there'd be a lot of blood...
Mhm...
I don't think anything can help you...
Your face is stuck in a permanent frown...
You'll get wrinkles from all that frowning...
You're suffering from "Namjoon can't relax and have fun because he has a stick up his ass".
I pity that stick though...

You see Taehyung's face turning red as he tries to stop himself from laughing.
Namjoon frowns deeply.

Namjoon: You're seriously disrespectful...
Not that I'm surprised...
You'll never grow up...

Jimin clenches his jaw as he and Namjoon glare at one another.
Everyone is completely silent at this point.
Even Taehyung doesn't dare to laugh.
You gulp as their glaring gets more and more intense as the seconds go by.

Stella: Everyone...e...

Everyone looks at you.

Stella: We should go!
We still have to choose a movie.

Jungkook smiles widely.

Jungkook: Miss Stella is right!!!!
We also need to get snacks!!!!

His nut brown eyes widen.

Jungkook: What if everyone already bought all the snacks?!?!?
We have to go right now!!!!!

Jungkook tries to run but Jimin stops him.
You all look at him confused.

Jimin: Wait...I smell blood...
Is anyone bleeding?

Everyone shakes their heads...
Everyone except Yoongi...
He's avoiding your gaze.
His arms behind his back.

Stella: Yoongi?

Yoongi stands up straighter as he looks at you with a blank expression.

Yoongi: Mhm?

Stella: Are you hiding something?

His eyes widen for a second.

Yoongi: No...

Stella: Then you wouldn't mind showing me your hands now would you?

Yoongi: I'm fine...
Nothing's wrong...

I put my hands on my hips and look at him with a serious expression.

Stella: Min Yoongi...

His looks at you surprised before his expression turns blank again.

Yoongi: Fine...

He brings his hands out from behind his back and his right hand immediately gets your attention as you see his palm bleeding.
You take it in your hands.
All the others watch surprised.

Stella: Yoongi!!!!!
When did this happen?! Are you okay?! Does it hurt?!

Yoongi: I was sort of...in an accident...almost...

Stella: WHAT?!

Yoongi: I was in my car...I was waiting for the light to turn green...
It was taking a while and so I just looked around a bit...
But I then saw a little boy running around in the street...
A car was speeding towards him and it didn't seem like the driver knew what was happening...
I know what I did was stupid...but I jumped out of my car,grabbed the boy and jumped out of the car's way in time...
We fell on the concrete side walk...
The boy was unharmed...
But I injured my hand a bit during the fall...
The boy's sister thanked me and I got a hug from the boy.
I washed my hand...after that it was fine...
But I guess it started bleeding again...

Stella: Argh!!!!!!!
You stupid!!!!! Selfless idiot!!!!!

Everyone stares at your outburst surprised.

Stella: I'm happy that the boy was okay!
But you should really be more careful!!!!
You could've really gotten hurt badly!!!!!

You quickly head into a shop as Yoongi calls out to you.
You come back with a loose gauze bandage.
You carefully take his hand not wanting to hurt him and tell the others they can look away if they want.
You're mostly saying it to Jimin.
Jiho immediately looks away and Jimin looks away as well.
You take the old bandage and put the new one on.

Yoongi: *small smile*

Not long after you finish wrapping his hand and look at your work...

Stella: Luckily my mom worked in the medical field...
Though I haven't done this in a while so...
Is it feeling okay? Should I-

Yoongi gives a gentle smile showing his chin dimple.

Yoongi: It's fine...thank you...

Stella: Make sure to change the bandages,okay?
If you don't then I'll do it myself!
Understand?

Yoongi: *small nod smiling while looking at you*

You take a few tissues and wrap the old bandage before disposing of it.
You walk back and without a word take Yoongi's wrapped hand.

Yoongi: Stella-

Without a word you bow your head as you bring his palm to your lips.
You kiss his wrapped palm with your eyes closed.
His eyes widen and your action takes the others by surprise as well.
Yoongi's face turns a little pink as he stands unmoving and Jen chuckles.
Jimin glances a few times and Namjoon silently watches.
You slowly lift your head and stand up straight and then open your eyes.
As you open your eyes you see Yoongi's face is completely red.
Even his ears.

Stella: My mom always did this when I got hurt...
I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable-

Yoongi slowly shakes his head as his surprised expression melts into a gentle smile.

Yoongi: It's fine.
And.
You told me to stop overthinking whatever I do and just to do it and that you've never felt uncomfortable around me and never will.
The same goes for you.

You smile and nod.

Stella: Mhm.
I guess we should all get going now😊

Jungkook: Yayyy!!!!!! Let's go get snacks!!!!^^

He runs off happily.

Hoseok: Jungkook!!!! Wait up!!!!

-Choice end: Min Hoseok-

You all head in and in no time you're all in a store and waiting in line to pay for the drinks you all picked.
As you're waiting you feel someone behind you talking your shoulder.

You turn around and see a guy plucking a blue rose from the flower stand next to him.
He has chocolate brown eyes,a dimple on his right cheek,dark brown hair,fair skin and is your and Jimin's height aka 5"9.

Guy: Hi*smile and dimple*
My name is Alex.
And I see a true beauty in front of me and so here's a beautiful rose for an even more beautiful lady...

You laugh as you thank him,but tell him that it still belongs to the store since it's not paid for.

Guy: It's already paid for...

Stella: Oh...really?

Guy: Yes...I always make sure to pay beforehand.

Stella: So you pay money for flowers just to give one to a woman and then say it's already paid for hoping to impress said woman?

Guy: You read my mind!
See. We're soulmates*eye smile chuckling*

You laugh at the guy's words as Namjoon crosses his arms looking away.
Jimin looks irritated from his spot as he sees what's going on.

Guy: If it's not too much to ask...
May I have your number please?

Stella: Oh...I'm not looking for anything.
But I really appreciate you coming up to me.

Guy: It's okay...
At least I can rest easy knowing I
tried*extending the rose to you*
At least take it as a token of my love*acting heart broken with his one hand over his heart*

You laugh and take it as you shake your head.
You thank Alex for the rose as you sniff it.

Stella: Wow...
Not only does it look nice...
But it also smells nice.
Thanks once again.

Guy: I should be thanking you...

Stella: Huh?

Guy: Thank you for blessing my eyes with your beauty.

You continue laughing and as you do...
Jimin leaves his spot in line and walks up behind Alex.
He silently taps his shoulder.
Alex turns around and sees Jimin.
You immediately stop laughing as you see him and his expression.

Jimin: You said your name is Alex,right?

Alex: My full name is Nguyen Lee Levi Alexander.

Jimin: Well...Nguyen Lee Levi Alexander...
Maybe you should focus on leaving if you have nothing else to do other than bothering my best friend.
You're bothering her and you're holding up the line...you know?
Not only that you also cut the line.
People have places to be...
And you're getting in the way.
Also that rose you took isn't good quality...
You can't even see the difference between which one is bad quality and which is good quality.
You couldn't even do that and you asked for her number?
You expected her to give it to you?
She said no and here you're still trying to flirt with her and get her to take the rose...

He looks at the rose in your grip and takes it.
Your eyes widen as he looks at Alex while holding the rose.

Jimin: Have some dignity...

He holds out the rose and Alex takes it.

Jimin: Look.
Stella doesn't like hurting people's feelings but I will say how I feel and how she feels.
She's just being nice to you.
That's it.
She wants you to leave.
Now leave her alone.

Guy: I didn't mean to---

Stella: Jimin...he didn't---

Jimin: Learn to read the room a little,Alex...

He says narrowing his eyes.
Alex turns around holding the rose tightly as he walks away past everyone in line and then out the store.
You feel bad as you and everyone watches him go.
You don't notice Jimin looking at you.

Jimin: Stella...are you okay?

You snap out of it as you hear Jimin's question.
You look at him with a serious expression and his eyes widen.

Stella: It wasn't necessary to act like that.
He didn't mean any harm and look what you did.
You embarrassed him infront of all these people.
He's upset and is probably feeling so embarrassed that he doesn't want to come back here ever again.
Because of you.

Jimin: But---

Jimin tries to defend himself but you turn your back to him before he can.
He sighs as you all continue waiting in the line.
After you all have finished paying for your drinks.
You all head in the direction of the cinema...
Not saying anything.
As you all continue walking...
You feel a gentle touch on your elbow.
You turn around and see Jimin at the others continue walking.
He looks a bit down.
Guilty.
He doesn't look at you but instead he looks at the floor.

Jimin: Hey...
Are you angry with me?

You look at the floor before letting out a sigh and looking at him.

Stella: I'm not mad at you...
I just feel bad for him you know...
He didn't mean any harm..
How you acted was too much and it hurt him...

Jimin: I realize that now...
I didn't...I'm sorry...
I just...I thought...

Stella: I know...
But you don't have to worry so much...
I understand why you're acting like this...
I do,but try to you know.
And really appreciate your concern,chim...
But I can handle myself.

Jimin: I know...
I'm sorry...

You take his hand and smile as he continues to look guiltily at the floor.

Stella: Jimin...could you smile for me?

Jimin: ..............
*still feeling bad and not looking at you*

Stella: Please?

He doesn't listen again as he's still feeling guilty and looking at the floor.

Stella: *sigh*

You let go of his hand.

Stella: Fine...

You turn your back around to walk away.
But then you feel him grab you from behind.
People walking by watch you two.
You stand still as his hold on you tightens.
His eyes are closed and he leans against you.
Your eyes are wide as his arms are around your waist and you feel his chin resting on your shoulder.

Jimin: Mhm...you feel so warm...soft...
Smell so nice...
Like vanilla and coconuts...
Coconut scented shampoo...

What is happening...

Is this a part of his heat or is it just a part of him?

If he leans just a bit more against me...

Then I'll faceplant...

No doubt.

B...but...he actually sounds sort of...cute...uhm...

So sleepy...

I know I've called him cute before but right now...

He's really cute...

He's handsome obviously...

He's 10000000% sexy,hot and any synonyms for those words...

I won't lie...

But right now...

He's really being cute...

He sounds so sleepy...

And my face is getting warm;_;

Stella: Jimin,what are you doing?

Jimin: Hugging the most beautiful woman in the entire world?

Stella: Jimin...you're seriously exaggerating it...
I'd say I'm pretty average.

Jimin: Maybe in your eyes...but not in mine...
I know you're not angry...
But...
Still...
Maybe I could make it up to you...tonight...
Whatever you want...

Stella: Jimin...we're in public...

Jimin: So?
I just want to stay like this a bit longer...
It feels...nice...
It's not like we're standing half naked or something...
I'm just hugging you...

Stella: J-Jimin...

Jimin: *sigh*
If you love something then let it go*mumbling*
Okay...*opening his eyes*

You continue blushing as he lets go and turns you around...
Looking at your bright red face.
He smiles as you're looking down.

Jimin: You look adorable...*eye smile*
Seriously...I don't know how you do it...
Somehow you're adorable,sexy,
beautiful,smart and kind at the same time...
Your ex was really an idiot to let you go...

Stella: Jimin...stop...*soft tone*

Jimin: *chuckle* Fine...

He lets you go.

Jimin: Let's go before Namjoon comes looking for us...

You nod still blushing as the two of you continue walking to the cinema.
You two reach the others...
But as you two reach them you see three unmistakable figures.

You see officer Yeong,Chief Hwan and your dad.
Officer Yeong and Chief Hwan are standing and chatting on one side and your dad's standing away on the other side busy on his phone.
It looks like they all went shopping as they're all carrying shopping bags with them.
You call out to them catching their attention as well as the attention of the others.
Officer Yeong,Chief Hwan and your dad head to you as the others approach none of them having noticed each other before you called.
You and your dad smile as you two hug.
You greet officer Yeong and Chief Hwan.

Stella: Hello,officer Yeong and Chief Hwan.

The others greet the three of them too.

Dad: It's great to see you all...*left singular dimple*
May I know who these two gentlemen are?*gesturing to Yeong and Hwan*

You nod.

Stella: Of course.

You give him a brief rundown of who they are as your dad smiles listening.
As you finish your dad shakes hands with them.

Dad: It's a pleasure to meet you,officer Yeong and Chief Hwan.
I'm Kim Jaehyun.
Stella's dad.
Thanks for helping my daughter in my absence.
I truly appreciate it.

Officer Yeong smiles.

Officer Yeong: The pleasure is all ours*left singular dimple*
We're happy we could help your daughter.
As a dad of a young woman myself I understand completely.
And no formalities.
Feel free to call me Iseul and him Hwan.
We do have names after*chuckle*

Hwan: Yes,please call us by our names.

Dad: Okay then.
It's nice to meet you,Iseul and Hwan.

Stella: I'm happy to see everyone's getting along.

Dad: Don't speak too soon,honey.
I'm smiling and everything but I'm still your dad and that Jimin.
I don't like him.
The others are fine.
It's just him...
He's standing a bit too close to you right now.
And he's smiling.
He could back up a little.
I mean there's not a lack of space at all.
I'll be nice but I'm still your dad.
Nobody messes with my daughter.

Stella: So I was wondering...
Dad,Chief Hwan,officer Yeong...
Do you guys have any plans for today?

Dad: Only shopping,but I just finished so...

Iseul: Same. We also came to do some shopping but we're done right now.

Stella: That's great!
Dad,Chief Hwan,officer Yeong...
Would you 3 like to come see a movie with us?
We have more than enough snacks too.

You gesture towards Jungkook holding 4 bags full of snacks.

Dad: That's really nice of you,honey...
But I wouldn't want to intrude.

Hwan and Iseul nod their heads.

Iseul: Your dad's right.
You youngsters should go and enjoy yourselves.

Taehyung: You heard that?
He said youngsters.
Aka not youuuuu:3

Jin: *MURDEROUS GLARE*

Taehyung: XD

Namjoon steps forward.

Namjoon: You three wouldn't be intruding at all...
I was about to invite you three,but Stella did it before I could.

I love how he's using my name these days;_;

I always loved my name but I love it even more since he started using it T_T

Especially the way he says it.

Okay.

Stop thinking about that otherwise you'll start blushing!!!!!

Namjoon: We still have to get the tickets and choose seats and a movie.
I think it'll be good if you all come with.
Afterall today is about relaxing and I think you three could do with some relaxing.
Hwan and Yeong have tough jobs and demanding jobs.
Mr Kim as well.

Dad: Jaehyun.

Namjoon nods.

Namjoon: And you also moved here just recently and so I'm sure you're still busy sorting things out.
And also I'm sure you want to spend more time with your daughter and you haven't gotten much time to do so...
Thus I think you three should do us the honor of joining us.

The others agree trying to convince them.
And honestly you feel kind of impressed with Namjoon as you're smiling at him.
He glances at you silently.

Hwan: A movie is a great idea.
And we're getting invited in such a nice way...
It would be rude to decline.

He smiles almost looking child like.

Hwan: I don't have anything planned for today either other than eating chocolates and drinking red wine but that can wait till later no?
I don't know about Yeong and Jaehyun,but I'm going with.

Iseul: I guess I'm going with too then...

Dad: You make a good point,Namjoon.
And also my daughter invited me and so I'll gladly go with.

Your dad says with a big smile as he puts his arm around your shoulders and pulls you in for a half hug and you smile not knowing that part of why he's doing it is because of how close Jimin is standing to you.
Jimin smiles at your dad and he doesn't smile back and you don't notice a thing XD.

Jungkook: Yayyyyyy^^
They're coming with us!!!!! It'll be so much fun!!!!!!*bunny smile*

Kook cheers and dances as you all head to the cinema.
You all arrive and choose to watch a horror movie.
You all see that there are only enough seats left for you all as the cinema is packed.
You all get your tickets and go to watch the movie.
You all enter an everyone sits down.
You walk to your seat and see there's no seat for you as it was there but it was removed.

Just my luck;_;

Namjoon turns his head looking at you from his seat.

Namjoon: Stella,the movie is about to start.

Stella: I know...there's just a small problem...

Namjoon raises his eyebrow.

Stella: My seat...it seems like they took it out;_;

Your statement catch the others attention.

Namjoon: What?

He looks at where your seat is supposed to be.

Namjoon: Oh...I see...

Stella: Yah,maybe there was a glitch with the system or something...

He looks at you.

Namjoon: Maybe...but they should've said something...

Stella: Yah,but it's not a problem...
I'll just stand or sit on the floor.

As you say that the others(excluding Jimin) say no.
Especially your dad.

Jimin: Guys...guys...guys...

He says calmly and with a relaxed smile.
Almost like he's saying they're overreacting.
They all look at him.

Jimin: You're all freaking out when there's a clear solution to this problem.

He looks at you.

Jimin: She can sit on my lap...easy as that...
I wouldn't mind if she did*eye smile*

Jimin gives you a small wink as you think back to this morning.
You feel your face getting warmer as he continues smiling.
You see Jen smiling as she tries to get you to say something.

Dad: Did he seriously say that MY daughter could sit on HIS LAP?!?!?
He better be joking!!!!!
Because there's no way in heaven or hell that I'm allowing that to happen!
She's an adult yes.
But she's still my daughter!!!!!
I really don't like the look of that smile on his face!
He also winked at her! I'm her dad and I'm here!!!!
Hwan and Iseul are here as well but this boy has the nerve to act like this and make such a suggestion with no shame at all!!!!
I'll set him straight!!!!!

Your dad's about to go protective dad mode.
But then a guy infront of Namjoon gets up.
He's clearly a doctor of some sorts.
He's busy talking on the phone and he's talking quite loudly as well.

Man: An emergency right now?!
Fine! I'll be there in 10 minutes! Get everything ready until then.
Why are you still talking with me?!?!?
Hang up and go!!!!

He brings his phone away from his ear and sighs.

Man: I finally got a day off and now I have to perform surgery because Dr.Han decided to go on a nice,spontaneous vacation!
Just like that!
Seriously!
I don't even get a vacation!
Not like I would be able to even if I had the time as I'm still paying off my student loans!
God dammit!!!!!
I guess there's no point in getting angry...
Maybe I'll go on vacation in the next 5 years if I'm lucky.

He shakes his head sighing and looks at you as you're watching with a pickachu face.

Man: You! Miss! I have to go...
You can take my seat.

Stella: Me?!

Man: Yah,take it or leave it. I gotta go.

The guy hurries out of the cinema almost tripping over his feet running up the stairs.

Taehyung: The guy left and now you can sit on his seat. Problem solved*smiling showing dimples and totally amused by the plot twist*

Jungkook: Now Miss Stella will be sitting next to me!!!!!^^

Jimin: *sighs disappointedly*

Dad: *murderous glare*

Jimin: *looks at him with an innocent smile*
I was just trying to help...
I mean she's my best friend and I didn't want her hurting her legs with standing.
And her back with sitting...*glancing at you with a mischievous glint in his eye saying it*

Stella: *eyes widen and feeling shy*

Jimin: But I'm happy that there's a seat now open for her...

You walk past people to get to your seat as Jimin watching amused as you avoid looking at him.
You sit down infront of Namjoon with Jungkook sitting on your left.
Namjoon watches as you sit down.

Jimin: He seriously can't make it any less obvious that he's staring at her=_=
Like,dude.
Stop being weird.

Namjoon looks at the screen and as you get comfortable you drink your drink and the movie starts.
But as you're watching the movie you can't really focus...
Because you feel someone staring at you.
You turn around and see Jimin looking at you with a smile.
He doesn't even look away.
You immediately look back at the screen tightly holding onto your drink.

Jimin: *mischievous smirk*
*takes out his phone and starts typing*
*puts his phone away and smiles looking at where you're sitting*

Jungkook: *busy enjoying his donuts while watching the movie*
*phone beeps*
*holds donut in between his teeth and takes out his phone*
*looks at it and smiles*
Miss Stella?

Stella: *takes a sip from drink*
Yah?*looking at him*

Jungkook: I'm going to go sit with Hoseok hyung and Mr.Hansol,okay?

Stella: Okay...

You say looking at the screen once again to continue watching the movie.
Jungkook gets up and walks to the row behind you.
And then someone jumps over his seat and plops down.
You look and see it's none other than Jimin.

Of course...

Who else would it be?

I wasn't thinking when Jungkook said he'd go and sit with Hansol and Hoseok;_;

Stella: J-Jimin?

Jimin leans back in his seat smirking.

Jimin: Yah...it's me...

His right knee brushes against your left knee.

Jimin: Are you enjoying the movie so far?

Stella: I...I can't say for sure...since it just started a few minutes ago...

Jimin: I see...

You look back at your screen as you munch on your popcorn.
Obviously nervous.

Jimin: May I?*small smile*

He gestures towards the bucket of salty,buttered popcorn you're holding.

Stella: Sure.

He reaches his hand in the bucket as you reach yours in too.
He moves his hand closer to yours in the bucket and his hand brushes against yours as he gives a small smile while he takes his sweet time grabbing a hand full of popcorn.
And yes...your dad is watching!
Jimin is taking chances XD.

Jimin: Thanks...lioness...

You just nod and sink into your seat as you continue watching the movie and Jimin eats.
Having no idea certain someone(Namjoon) has been listening and watching this whole time:3
He's also visibly not happy XD.
You all continue eating and watching the movie.
Time goes by and the movie ends.
You all get up taking your trash left from eating and drinking.
You take the trash from everyone as you want to dispose of it.

-Outside the cinema-

You're busy throwing all the trash away and turn around to head to the others.

Dad: Stellie dear?

You look at him.

Dad: Could you come here for a second please?

He asks with no smile or anything.
You walk over to him and smile.

Stella: Hi,dad😁
How was the movie? Did you enjoy it?
How about the snacks?
I hope the movie and snacks were good.

Dad: Yes,they were good and I did enjoy them very much...
But...
There were parts of the experience I didn't enjoy at all.
If I had to give a rating it would be really far into the negatives.

You raise your eyebrow.

Dad: I don't like how that Jimin boy acts with you.
He suggested you could sit on his lap!

He says the last sentence barely managing to not yell it out.

Dad: Almost like he sees you as a stripper or something.
I know I'm typically seen as the cool,fun,laidback,calm dad...
But...
But I won't allow someone.
Especially a man to mess with my daughter...
I know you're fully grown and capable of making good decisions...
I don't doubt that at all...but you do understand and see my point of view,right?

You nod trying to act serious as your dad continues ranting about how Jimin acts with you,how guys typically think and how he really don't like his behavior with you at all.

Dad: Also if you have any problems then tell me immediately*glances at Jimin*
I'll sort them out*watching how Jimin's busy talking with Taehyung*

You just tell your dad you'll be just fine.
But honestly you don't really believe that XD.

Stella: You shouldn't worry too much,dad...

I am though.

I'm so worried for myself T_T

I mean can you freaking blame meeee?!?!

Just look at Jimin!

His face. Lips. Everything!

Godddd. Don't think of how he touched you this morning and last night! Don't-

Stella: *brain decides not to listen*
*screams internally and manages to keep expression unchanged*
Jimin is my best friend and yah...
He is a flirt...
But that's just how he is...

Dad: I sure hope so.
Because that to be completely honest is more than flirting and crosses the line of best friends.
I really hope he doesn't try to cross that line any further.

Aish. He already has. You just don't know it XD.

Dad: Because there will be trouble if he does.

Your dad looks at you not completely convinced but nods.
Your dad goes to Iseul and Hwan and you go to Namjoon.
Seeing him standing away from the others with his arms crossed.

Stella: Where to next?

He looks at you.

Namjoon: I'm not sure...

Jimin stops talking with Taehyung and his smile fades as he sees you and Namjoon talking with each other.

Namjoon: I only planned that we'd watch a movie...I told the others that they could pick what else we'll all do today...
This way everyone gets to give their input and also enjoy themselves.

Stella: Hm...that's surprising...

Namjoon: What?

Stella: I mean you're always so...so...

Namjoon: So what?

He sounds a little eager to be completely honest to hear what you think of him XD.

Stella: Like organized...having everything planned out and so on...

Namjoon: Oh...

Stella: Yah...so it's sort of weird...not in a bad way though...

He looks down.
Crossing his arms even more.

Namjoon: I guess...
But just in case...
I do have a list of things we could all do if no one has any idea what they want to do...
I mean today's about relaxing and we...
Especially you as it's your day off from training.
Shouldn't be stressing about what we're going to do next.

You feel your heart flutter a bit as you smile and he's still looking down.

Stella: Of course...
You're always prepared and that's good.
I admire that.

Namjoon: ...

Stella: Having a backup plan is always good*smile*

Namjoon: Mhm...

Progress...progress...progress...

We've a long way to go...

But we've made progress.

Stella: Uhm...anyways I'll go over there.
If you wanna talk then just...

Namjoon doesn't say anything and continues looking down.
You walk away and he glances at you as you walk to Jimin,Jungkook and Taehyung.
You smile as you make your way over to them.

Stella: Hey*big smile*

Jimin: Hey yourself...

He says smiling.
You smile even more.

Stella: Anyone have an idea of what we'll do now?

Jimin: Well...*eye smile*

He takes a few slow steps towards you swinging his head and upper body left as he's looking down a little with his hands behind his back and his smile not leaving his face.

Jimin: I could name a few but I don't think the others would like them...
Plus those ideas are only for two people*looking at you through his black lashes smiling*

Stella: *blush*

Jungkook: I know!!!!

You guys look at him.

Jungkook: There's this comic book store over there! I could use some new ones.
Also I really wanna get that new Superman comic book since it's finally out!
I gotta get my hands on a copy before it's sold out.

He says with a smile.

Taehyung: Yah...that sounds good...

Taehyung: Definitely a lot better and more appropriate than what Jimin was thinking...*bombastic side eye*

Jimin: *smiles even more and he looks at you*

Stella: *blushing even more and looks down*

Jungkook: I'm not sure...
Maybe Jimin hyung's idea is better and more enjoyable.

Jimin: Definitely more enjoyable but unfortunately I won't be able to do everything I have in mind with those rules of hers set in place...

Jungkook: So what's the idea?
That way we can judge which is better and then we can do whichever one is better.

Jimin: *trying not to laugh*

Stella: *wants to dissappear*

Jungkook: Hm? What's so funny? O.o

Jimin shakes his head.

Jimin: It's nothing...*small smile*

Jungkook: Okay O.o
Anyways what was the idea?
We shouldn't waste time like this.
Tomorrow Miss Stella has to continue her training.
She should be enjoying herself today.

Jimin: I'm sure she will...
I'll make sure of it.
I am her best friend afterall and I have her best interest at heart*smile*

LORD!!!! SAVE MEEEEE!!!! I'm so sure that Jen if she heard all this she'd be laughing.

She was already having a field day when Jimin suggested me sitting on his lap!!!!;_;

Jungkook: That's really nice of you,Jimin hyung.

Jimin: You know me*smile*

Jungkook: Anyways.
What was the idea?

Taehyung: It's really nothing...don't worry about it.
Your idea is better.

Jungkook: Oh. Okay. I trust you judgement,Taehyung hyung*bunny smile*

Taehyung: I'm glad you do.
Let's go tell the others that we'll go to the comic book store.

Jungkook: Yippieeeee!!!! New Superman comic and other comics here I come!!!!!

You all go to the others and tell them you guys are going to the comic book store.
None of them have a problem with it and so you all go to the comic book store together.
Kook leading as he's excited.
Your dad,Chief Hwan and Iseul decide to stay outside as the rest of you
enter the comic book store...seeing comics everywhere.
Jungkook looks around in amazement at all the tables and shelves packed full of comics of all kinds.

Jungkook: Comics...
So many comics!!!!!

He smiles and jumps up and down with his hands on his chest.

Jungkook: There are so many of them!!!!!

Before any of you can say anything Jungkook takes off deep into the store.
You're about to call and go after him,but then Jimin grabs your hand.

Jimin: It's fine. He'll come back soon*smile*
Do you want to look around a bit?

Stella: Well...

Jimin: *laugh*
Don't worry...I won't do anything...
At least not until we're alone then you won't be able to stop and get away from me...*whisper*

Stella: O.o

Jimin: Teasing you is so much fun...
Come on...let's look around a bit.

You nod as he leads you around the store.
Just in case you make sure not to go too deeply into the store and so on because you're a bit nervous that Jimin might change his mind.
He finds it funny and chuckles.
Everyone goes around looking and flipping through comics.
Hansol's standing at the back of the store in-between multiple big shelves of a bunch of comics lining each shelf.
Of course here and there there are a few spots open as previous store goers have purchased them.
He's looking up at the shelf infront of him.

Hansol: It's so high up...
And...I don't see a ladder or anything...
Mhm...

Being distracted he doesn't see Hoseok coming up behind him until he speaks.

Hoseok: Need some help?

The question and suddenly hearing Hoseok's voice makes Hansol jump and turn around.
His eyes wide and heart beating fast from being startled and also from nerves.
Hansol's reaction visibly surprises Hoseok.

Hoseok: Did I scare you?

Hansol: Shit!!!!!! Where's Jen when I need her?!?!?!?

For anyone wondering she's busy walking around the store and flipping through comics with Jiho near the front of the store.
No one's here to save Hansol as you all and other customers are mostly at the front of the store while these two are at the back XD.
Hansol regains his composure.
Or well acts like it cause he's actually still freaking out but not showing it outwardly.

Hansol: Just a bit...but it's fine...
Nothing's fine!!!!!
Uhm...

Hoseok's expression goes neutral and he nods.

Hoseok: Okay...
I've been watching you...I mean I saw you were looking at that comic up there...
Do you need help getting it? I could help...

Hansol turns around and looks up at the comic.

Hansol: Only if you're sure...
You don't have to though...
Plus it's pretty high up...
I could just come back here next time to get-----
Ah!

He looks down panicked as he's holding onto the shelf.
He sees Hoseok's holding him up by holding onto his legs.

Hansol: What are you doing?!

He asks not meaning to yell but he's panicking and I don't blame him.

Hoseok: Helping?

He says with a blank expression looking up at him.

Hoseok: Helping you to reach the comic you want...
That's the last copy and also there's no ladder to reach over there...
And I can't reach the comic and so I decided to do this...

Hansol: You---

Hoseok: Look...I genuinely don't mind helping...
Standing here like this for who knows long...
But I think the others will be done soon so...
Just take the comic and I'll put you down.

Hansol: Just breathe...just breathe,Hansol...
Just take the comic...
And don't think about how he's literally touching and holding you right now.
Okay...

He reaches up.

Hansol: Argh! Almost there!!!!
Uhm...Hoseok...could you---

Hoseok: Sure...

Hoseok lifts Hansol up a bit more and it helps him reach the shelf where the comic is that he wants.

Hansol: Hahahahaha!!!!!

Hoseok: You got it?

Hansol grabs the comic feeling super happy.

Hansol: Yah!!!!!:)

Hoseok: Great! I'll lower you then...

Hansol: Wait!!!!!!

Hoseok: What is it?

Hansol: I see something at the back of the rack...
Hansol peers in as he stretches his neck.
Almost instantly he looks scared.

Hansol: Ahhhhhh!!!!!!

Hoseok: What is it?!?!?!?!

Hansol: It's a big cockroach!!!!!! AND IT'S COMING TOWARDS ME!!!!!!

He kicks his legs panicking.

Hansol: AHHH!!!!!! It jumped on me!!!!!!
GET IF OFF!!!!!!!!!!

Hoseok: Hansol!!!! Calm down!!!! You're gonna fall!!!!!

Hansol continues panicking,kicking his legs and flailing his arms around trying to get the cockroach off his head.
Imagine those blow up guys as the gas stations.
That move when the wind picks up.
I forgot what they're called but basically Hansol looks like that at the moment.

Hoseok: Hansol!!!!!!-----
Fuck!

Hansol: Ahhhhh!!!!!!!

Hansol falls due to all the panicking,kicking and flailing around.

Hansol: And this is how I'm going to embarrass myself in front of a hot angel guy;_;
By falling flat on my face...

Hansol closes his eyes waiting to hit the floor.
But instead of hitting the floor...

Hansol: I definitely didn't just fall on the floor and face plant...

Hansol opens his eyes.
He sees Hoseok looking up at him as he's tightly holding onto him.
His one arm around his shoulders and his other around his waist.
Hansol's hands on his shoulders
Hoseok looking up at him with a blank expression and Hansol looking down at him with a surprised one as their faces are pretty close.

Hansol: Yep...this isn't the floor...I'm so screwed and I blame Jen!!!!!
Why did I have to open my eyes?!?!?!
Why didn't I just face plant instead?!
*so,so embarrassed and feels like he could die*

Hoseok: Hey...

Hansol: *Hansol.exe isn't working*

Hoseok softly smiles as Hansol's eyes widen even more as he stares.

Hansol: Shit...why does he have to have such a nice everything?!?!
Like what do these guys eat?!
They're all handsome...
But him!!!!
No words...

Hoseok: Are you okay?
You're kind of staring at me for the past 23 seconds now...*soft chuckle looking at him through his red eyelashes*

Hansol: Uhm...
I am? Sorry...uh...

Hoseok: It's fine..I don't mind...
I'm sure you're in shock so...

Hansol: Yep. Definitely.
Shocked. So shocked that I could be considered electrocuted!!!!!
That doesn't make a lick of sense but honestly nothing makes sense right now;_;

Hoseok: So...
Should I put you down or...

Hansol: Is he...is he flirting with me right now?!
No...that can't be...
You...can...

Hoseok pulls Hansol closer as he continues to smile and Hansol's eyes widen even more.

Hoseok: I can what?
You have to be more specific...*heart smile showing his dimples*

Hansol: *turns his head away and clears his throat*
You can put me down...

Hoseok: For that you have to maybe...maybe...
Loosen your grip of your legs on my hips...
If I just let go...then you might fall...and I can't do that...
Let that happen...

He whispers into Hansol's left ear.

Hansol: *gulp* Sorry...

Hansol does as Hoseok said and Hoseok lets go as he's sure Hansol's completely on his feet.

Hansol: What do I say now?

He thinks looking sheepishly at the floor with his hands behind his back as Hoseok's still smiling.
Hansol stands up straight and looks at Hoseok.
And it takes him a bit of effort to actually look at him.

Hansol: Uhm...thanks for the help...
And sorry about freaking out...
I just have a phobia of cockroaches...that's all( ' • • )

Hoseok: Don't worry about it. It's fine. Everyone's scared of something.

Hansol: Okay...uhm...I'll go now. Thanks again.

He quickly slides along the shelf and walks away.
Hoseok smiles and then something catches his eye on the floor.
His smile fades as he looks down.
He gets down on one knee picking up what he saw and gets up as he looks at it and where Hansol walked away.

Hoseok: He dropped it...
Hansol!

Hansol: What now?! I'm already messed up and embarrassed!!!! What now?!?!

He thinks nervous as he turns around and sees Hoseok jogging up to him.
He stops infront of him.

Hoseok: I think you dropped this...

Hansol looks down at his hand and sees the comic.

Hoseok: Here...

Hansol takes the comic silently.
I see some hands touching:3

Hansol: Thanks*looking down*

Hoseok: You say thanks a lot*laugh*

Hansol looks at him and nods.

Hansol: Yah...it's just a habit I guess...
Some people find it annoying...

Hoseok: I think it's fine...
Mhm...

Hansol: What's he thinking?!?!?!

Hoseok: You sort of reminds me of Stella...

Hansol: Really? How so?

Hoseok: While you say thanks a lot...she says sorry a lot...but she doesn't do it often anymore...
Especially because my brother told her she doesn't have to apologize for everything.
Also you and her have the same eye color and hair color too.
Anyways...I'll go check on the others,okay?

Hansol: Yah...

Hoseok walks away.

Hansol: I should tell Jen later...
Big or small...anything can help...
But for now I should go pay for this comic and then go to the others.

Hansol goes to the adult section and grabs a comic and hides it underneath the other comic.
He heads to the counter and feels his heart racing that the cashier will see what he's purchasing but honestly she couldn't care less.
I mean she doesn't even look at the comics.
She just picks them up and scans them.
Says the total and Hansol pays as you all continue.

Hansol: May I please get a bag?

Cashier: ...
Sure...whatever...

She hands him a bag and he takes it.

Hansol: Thanks😅

Cashier: Whatever...

She walks away and Hansol quickly stuffs the comics in the bag and ties it multiple times T^T

Jungkook: Oki doki! I got all the comics I want!
Time to go to the counter and pay!!!!

As he's walking a book catches his eye on the edge the table he's standing next to.

Jungkook: What comic is this? It doesn't have a name or picture on the front or back...
It's completely blank.
It's here so...maybe I should take a look.
I'll just put my comic books here while I look through this other one...

Jungkook picks up the comic book as you approach him...
The others standing and looking around.

Stella: Hey,Kook,whatcha got there?

Jungkook: A comic...

Stella: Oh...I see it doesn't have a name or anything.

Jungkook: Yah...it doesn't. I have the comic I came for...
Plus a few others...
But this one caught my eye and I'm curious of what it's about.

Stella: So you're going to read it?

Jungkook: Yep...I could read it outloud if you want to hear,Miss Stella...

Stella: Sure!:) Go ahead.
You have my full attention.

Jimin: Hey*smiles walking over and stopping next to Jungkook*
Are you enjoying yourself?

Stella: Yah,Jungkook found a comic book without anything on...
And now he's going to read it outloud.
Do you want to hear?
I'm definitely curious.

Jimin: Yah,I don't mind.
Afterall...
If you're curious about something then your curiosity should get satiated
no?*wink*

You feels your cheeks warming up.

Stella: H...yah...mhm...yep...

Jungkook clears his throat completely ignorant of what's going on with you two as he pages though the comic book.

Jungkook: "Chapter 6: The darkness or the light?

It was just a night like any other. Wonderwoman was sitting in her normal looking apartment drinking her glass of red wine".

Jimin: Good drink choice.

Jungkook: "She suddenly heard a knock on her door. She let out a sigh as she set down the glass and headed for the door in her night gown with her long hair loose.
She was feeling frustrated as she told everyone to leave her along for the weekend but it seems someone decided to go against her wish.
She opened the door and was ready to yell at whoever was outside.
She stopped as Hulk came onto view.

Hulk: I brought some food. I know you said you wanted to be alone. But it's your favorite. I made it myself. I'm happy to say I've managed to cook this without wrecking my entire place and it doesn't taste awful so I got my money's worth on those cooking classes I signed up for.

She sighed and let him in as she closed the door behind him.
She went to sit on the couch again and continued to drink her wine as she watched tv while he was dishing the food and it lightly started to rain against the big glass panels behind the tv.
He walked over humming softly. Obviously happy and proud of the meal he had made himself without causing any destruction in the procress.
He placed the food in front of her as he sat down.
They sat in silence as they ate.
The plate and fork was very small compared to the size of the Hulk's hand.
He gave up on using the fork and held the plate up and tilted it towards him.
The food fell into his mouth and he chewed 4 times only before swallowing.
He held the empty plate in his huge hands and after a while he spoke up.

Hulk: Do you want to talk about it? His death I mean...
Tonight marks 10 years since he...

She sighed.

Wonderwoman: I know. I told everyone to stay away for this reason.
It's my fault he died...
We shouldn't have been in a relationship.
If I hadn't gotten involved with him...
With Master Splinter then he would've been fine...
The turtles hate me.
And I don't blame them.
I hate myself...
It's my own problem.
I was selfish.
I shouldn't let it interfere with my work.

Hulk: They don't hate you.
And you're saying it shouldn't interfere with your work like you can easily turn off your emotions.
You need to talk about it.
Like you are now.
It's good for you.
You can't keep things bottled up.
We're friends.
Friends are there for one another. To trust. To talk to. To be there for you in good and bad times.

She stared at the clock showing it was midnight as she blinked back tears.
He noticed and moved from his couch to hers.
He pulled her close as she cried softly.

Hulk: You can be strong and show emotion.
Showing emotion isn't a weakness.

She continued crying".

It sounds interesting. A friend comforting a friend. That's a good friend.

Honestly never expected to hear about a comic book existing where Wonderwoman had a thing with Master Splinter from Teenage mutant ninja turtles.

Jungkook: "She looked up at him through her lashes and he looked at her as well. They looked at each other though they were frozen in time...not able to move.
She lept up and kissed him".

Uhm...

You see Jimin looking at you with a smile as Jungkook continues reading.

Jungkook: "He picked her up and ran to her bedroom like a child feeling as if they just got a new toy and couldn't wait to play with it. He tossed her on the bed.
He hurried took off her clothes as she pulled him close.
He sat on her taking out his long,green,majestic sword and putting it better her big,impatient,smiling milk jugs".

You quickly take the comic from Jungkook as he looks at you and Jimin confused.

Jimin: Oh...come on...things were just getting interesting...

You grip the comic tightly as the others approach.
Your face red.
Yes,all the guys and Jen are there:)
Chief Hwan,officer Yeong and your dad are walking around outside the store completely oblivious of everything that's happening here.

Hoseok: Hey,are you okay? Your face is very red.

Jimin: Almost as red as Yoongi's new hair color*chuckle*

You're about to answer Hoseok but then Jungkook speaks up.

Jungkook: Miss Stella,why did Hulk put his long,green,majestic sword there?
Like between Wonderwoman's big,impatient,smiling milk jugs?
It doesn't make sense...
Did he really take two milk jugs and put a sword between them?
Where did he get the sword? Also how were the milk jugs smiling?
How were they impatient?
Oh...maybe the milk jugs had smiley faces drawn on.
But how were they impatient?

Everyone goes silent as you hand the comic over to Hoseok while Jimin smiles.
Taehyung on the other hand feels relieved you didn't give it to him because whatever made you turn red must be embarrassing and he's had enough of feeling uncomfortable and embarrassed with when he had to explain Jimin's situation to you.
Hoseok reads that chapter and sees what's going on as the others stand behind and next to him to read too.
Hoseok stands completely still as you all watch him.

Jungkook: Why are you all so quiet? Is anyone going to explain to me about the sword and milk jugs?
Also why did he throw her and take off her clothes?
You don't throw people.
Especially your friends.
Hoseok hyung said that a guy and woman shouldn't see each other without clothes on when they're not a couple.
I'm confused.

Woman: Where is it?! Oh goodness!!!!!!

You all turn and see an older lady looking around the store frantically.
She approaches you all looking helpless.
Until she sees Hoseok holding the comic.
She smiles widely.

Woman: Oh goodness!!!!! Thank the heavens,the moon and the stars!!!!!!

Taehyung: Is this woman on crack or something?=_=

He thinks from his spot next to Jin.
You guys look at her confused.
She takes the comic from Hoseok and places it in her handbag.

Woman: Thank you so much for finding my comic!!!!!!

Stella: Your comic?

Woman: Yep! It's my first ever work! I've always wanted to become a romance writer and so I decided to finally give it a shot. I've been working hard on this comic book for 6 months now. Currently it only has narration and dialogue. No drawings yet. It's 18+. And this is the only copy at the moment as it's just a prototype for now.

Taehyung: For the sake of everyone's sanity and all things holy...
I hope it stays a prototype...
The dialogue and narration was just wow...
I seriously don't need to see the actual drawings of what's being narrated.

He whispers to himself and Jin hears him.

Woman: I enjoy writing but I wish I could get some help...
Someone who could help and guide me.

Jin: *smiling widely*
Ma'am! I know the perfect person to help you!

Her eyes widen as she places her hands infront of her mouth looking at Jin.

Woman: Really?! Who is it?!

Jin: This guy with the silver dyed hair right next to me!!!!!!:D

Taehyung's eyes widen realizing that Jin's talking about him.

Jin: His name is Taehyung!
He has a BIG vocabulary!!!!! He's also a teacher so I think he'd be more than able to help you in your endeavor.
I really suggest you ask him for help.
He's a sweet heart*pinches and lightly pulls Taehyung's cheek*
He's always saying he wants to make the world a better place and to help people wherever he can.
So he'll help in a heartbeat.
Wouldn't you,dear Taetae:3*pulling his cheek even more and Taehyung is utterly shocked at the whole situation*

Taehyung: Jin! What are you
doing?!?!?!*whisper yell*

Jin lets go of his cheek.

Jin: It's called revenge!
I'm taking revenge for how you replaced my diet coca cola with normal coca cola.
How you basically called me fat that one time.
How you basically called me old earlier!

He whisper yells.

Taehyung: I didn't call you fat!!!! You idiot!!!!*whisper yell*

Jin: You did you limp eared elf!!!!
Now be a good little elf and help the lady*dimple*

He whispers.

Taehyung: I'm not little!!!!!! I'm literally 5"10.5 and you're too!!!!*whisper yell*

Jin: Yes,you are little and yes that is your height and yah we're the same height but remember.
You're considered small amongst your kind and I'm average amongst mine.
You only needed 5 more inches be seen as average amongst your people but I guess I burned those inches that would've come off with my anger when you were rude with me:3

He whispers and chuckles.

Taehyung: I am so gonna murder you-----

Jin: Careful there...*whispers and chuckles*
What's that?! Oh that's good!!!!
So cute*pinches Taehyung's cheek quickly*

He looks at the woman.

Jin: He said he'll gladly help you!:)

Taehyung: No-

Woman: Really?!?!
*smiling*
I can't believe it!!!!!! Thank you so much!!!!!!

Taehyung: I can't believe this is really happening!!!! Thanks a lot,Jin!=_=

Woman: That is great! How will I contact you?

At that moment Jin gives the woman a piece of paper with Taehyung's number as well as his own on it.

Jin: My number is also there incase you can't get ahold of Taehyung then I'll get him for you.
You can contact him whenever!
He's awake till late most of the time.

Taehyung: This is not how I expected my day to go...

The woman nods as she happily goes and sorts out comics on the shelves.

Taehyung: I am so gonna murder you,Jin.

Jin: Yah,whatever...
Shortie*snort*

Taehyung: For the last time! I'm not short!

Jimin: For your kind you are.
Hahahaha.
Nice huh?
It's now you know how I feel🤣

Taehyung: *grumbles*

Jin: Did you seriously expect me to just let you go after what you did?

Jimin: What did he do?

Jin's smile fades and he looks at him.

Jin: He replaced my diet coca cola with regular coca cola.
He said my cologne is putrid.
That it smells like someone ate hard boiled eggs that were left in the sun for 3 months and then after they ate them they had explosive diarrhea in a Taco Bell toilet.
He also called me fat a while back the day he and I had the same blue thing on.
And not only that.
When officer Yeong referred to us all as youngsters Taehyung told me he wasn't talking about me!
In other words he called me old!

Jimin laughs as Hoseok shakes his head.

Taehyung: In other words Jin simply can't handle the truth.

Jin: You just can't handle that I'm handsome. That's it.

Taehyung: Yah,whatever you say...cockroach face.

Jin watches completely offended at Taehyung's words as Taehyung walks away.
All Taehyung's missing is the cool shades after he dropped that bomb and it exploded XD.
You all head to the check out as Jungkook pays for his comics and then you all make your way to the store's exit.

Woman: I'll be sure to call you soon!!!!
So make sure to keep an ear and eye out,Taehyung!!!!

Taehyung nods his head as he practically runs out.
As you all exit Jungkook continues questioning what happened in the comic.
Jimin tries explaining and Hoseok hits him over the head with one of Jungkook's comics.
Your dad,Chief Hwan and Iseul all watch confused as they have no clue what's going on.
Hoseok makes up a believable lie that makes Jungkook stop asking about the things that happened in the comic.
You all standing around as you all try to think of what to do next.
Jimin puts his arm around your shoulders as you all try and think.
You lean into him a bit but then catch yourself as you see your dad and Namjoon watching.
They don't look upset but they don't look thrilled either XD.
Jimin sees but doesn't care...
He pulls you closer and rubs your arm.

Jimin: Where to next?

Dad: I have no idea,but next you're going 10 feet or more into the Earth if you do anything to my daughter.

You clear you throat to try and lessen the tension.

Stella: I'm not sure...
We watched a movie,went to the comic store...
Mhm...

Taehyung: I know. I have an idea.

You all look at him.

Taehyung: I'm not sure if you guys are up for it...but I see an escape room.
I've always wanted to try it.

Jiho: Me too.

Jen: I think trying it out is a good idea.
It sounds like it would be fun*smile*

Hwan: Yes!!!! I agree!!!!
I also want to try it*big smile*

Iseul: Chief...are you sure about this? You don't have to...

Hwan: Yes! I've never been so sure of anything in my entire life!!!!!!

You and the others agree.

Namjoon: Since everyone agrees and I wanted everyone to enjoy themselves...
I think we should go.

Before you guys can say anything he walks in direction of the place.
You all quickly follow behind.
All of you enter the place and spot a young guy typing on his phone.
And an older guy sitting behind the desk...
A computer infront of him but he's asleep.
Namjoon tears his eyes from the guy that's asleep and looks at the guy who's on his phone.

Namjoon: Good morning.

The guy lifts his head.

Young guy: Good morning,sir.
Is there something I can help you with---

His eyes chocolate brown eyes widen and his jet black hair moves as he jumps in his spot.
He's 5"9.

Young guy: Holy crap!!!!!

You guys look at him confused.
He smiles.

Young guy: *wolf whistle*
And what pray tell are you doing here? Huh?
I was just thinking about you.
Are you stalking me or
something?*laugh*

Jen: *laugh*
Finally you noticed
me,Yejjie!(pronounced like the word yah and the letter g).
Took you long enough!*hair flip*
And no I'm not stalking you! But you probably wish I would!:)

Young guy: Well...I wouldn't mind it...
Having Lee Jen as my stalker*chuckle*

Am I missing something?

Jen: *chuckle* You should really careful what you wish for.
Anyways...what are you doing
here?*smile*

Young guy: Oh! Me?
I work here*smile*

Jen: Whoa...really? That's so cool!!!!!!

Young guy: Yep! It's very cool!
It's only my 5th day here though,but I enjoy this job.
Making my own money you know.
Anyways...enough about me...how are you doing?

Jen: I've been doing great. Everything's just perfect.

Young guy: Great.
Has a miracle perhaps happened and you got a boyfriend?

Jen chuckles shaking her head.

Jen: Noooo*snort*
I haven't.
I don't want one as you know and even if I did where would I find one?

Young guy: By just being you.
And if the guys aren't interested then I volunteer as tribute*wink*

Jen bursts out laughing as she shakes her head and he laughs with her.

Young guy: Also...
Are you gonna attend my basketball game on Tuesday?

Jen: Of course I'll attend it!!!!
It's not like I have a choice but even if I had one I wouldn't miss your game.
You know I've never missed one before and I don't plan on ever missing one.
Bulldogs are gonna beat the sharks and eat them for breakfast!!!!!!!
Shish kebab style!!!!!

Young guy: *laugh*
I know you won't and hell yah we're gonna beat their tails and turn em into shark fin stew!!!!!!

He extends his hand for a high five and she walks over and high fives him.
In the corner of your eye you see Jiho looking a bit down...

Stella: ...

Young guy: So...who are your friends?

Jen introduces you all to him.

Yejoon: It's nice to meet you all...I'm Jo Yejoon.
Anyways what are you all doing here?

Namjoon: We're here to try out the escape room.

He says handing over the money.
Yejoon nods with a smile and takes the money putting it away.

Yejoon: That's great and I'm happy you're all here.
Business has been really show today.

He says walking motioning for you all to follow.
He leads you all to a door and you all follow him through.
You all enter a room that looks like a club room from a school.

Yejoon: Okay...I'm going to be honest here...
None of you have been to an escape room before,right?

You all nod.

Yejoon: Okay then...no problem...
I'll explain how this will work.
There's only one entrance and one exit.
The entrance being where we just entered from.
And the exit? You'll see a corridor that looks like a hospital corridor.
At the end of it you'll see double doors.
You'll find a keypad somewhere and you'll have to type in the password...
The keypad is next to the exit door.
You'll have to search for the password.
Type it in and if you typed in the right one then the door will unlock.
You all only have 1 hour to do this and get out.
If you all get out under that one hour then a prize will be waiting behind the exit door.
And when you guys enter the password you'll have an easier time typing in the right now since the keypad will help indicate if you're right or not.
It'll flash red in the space you put a wrong letter in.
It'll flash green if you put the right one in the right space...
This place is pretty big with many different rooms and different levels so you should a use your time sparingly.
Also you guys allowed allowed to get help from people outside.
And so to ensure that you all have to give me your phones and bags...

Jin: *WIDE EYES AND DRAMATIC GASP*

You all turn to Jin.

Stella: Jin,is something wrong?

Jin: Yes!!!!!*frowning*
Did he just ask for our phones?!?!?
I'm not giving my phone!!!!!! My fans have to know where I am and how I am doing!!!!
I have a schedule of when I post pictures and if I miss the time then they get worried.
I was planning to make a video of this experience and now he's asking to take our phones?!?!?!
YOU'RE A MONSTER!!!!!!
YOU'RE ROBBING MY FANS FROM SEEING MY HANDSOME FACE!!!!!

Yejoon looks at him a little scared and surprised as his hands are raised and his eyes wide.

Jin: JUST TRY TAKKNG IT FROM MY WARM,SOFT,MOISTURIZED,WRINKLE FREE,BLEMISH FREE HANDS!!!!!!
YOU'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS!!!!!!!

Yejoon: Uh...*scared*

Namjoon looks from him to Jin.

Namjoon: Jin,it's just for one hour or even less hopefully...

Jin: Hmph...

Stella: Jin,just see it as this...

Jin's frown disappears as he gives his full attention to you.

Stella: Your fans are used to you posting a specific times as you said,right?

Jin: Yah...

Stella: And you also said they get worried when you don't post on time or at all,right?

Jin: Right...

Stella: Now if you give your phone then you won't be active for the time being...
And since your fans are used to you being active a lot...
They'll wonder where you are and freak out...
And this in turn could increase your popularity.
Do you understand?

Jin's eyes widen as he understands.

Jin: I understand!!!!!!!!
They'll miss me so,so much!!!!!
That they'll realize how much they actually love me!!!! How integrated I am into their daily lives!!!! How they need to see my handsome face!!!!!*dimple and imagines how all of his fans will panick and shower him with even more love*

Taehyung: *rolling his dark brown eyes*

Jin smiles.

Jin: Fine...I'll give my phone.

You and Jen hand over your bags containing your phones and so on and the guys hand over their phones.

Jin: Take good care of her,okay?

Stella: Her?

Jin: I'm talking about my phone.
Her name is Jinella.

Taehyung: *facepalms and kind of regetting coming here*

Stella: Oh.

Yejoon: Don't worry...I'll take good care of your phones and bags.
You'll all get them back once you get out either under the hour time limit or whatever.
You guys will have to navigate the place yourselves.
Unlock doors and so on...
Just like everything you'll have to figure it out yourselves...
Of course there are clues that will help you all so you guys don't wander around aimlessly.
Also the are cameras so you guys shouldn't do any funny business whatsoever.

Jimin: What kind of funny
business?*looks at you*

Dad: *murderous glare×100000000000*

Stella: *shy*

Namjoon crosses his arms silently.

Yejoon: You know what kind I'm sure.

Jimin: I don't*acting innocent*
Could you explain?

Hoseok: He's acting.
He knows very well what you're talking about.
He's super dirty mind.
Just ignore him.

Jimin: Meanie;_;
But yes I am super dirty mind and proud of it:p

Hoseok: *smiles rolling his eyes*

Yejoon: *nods*
Anyways...
You can back out of the game any time.
Do you guys have any questions? Or anything before the game begins?

You all look at each other not saying anything.

Yejoon: Okay then...
Good luck.

He looks at the remote his hands in his hand.

Yejoon: Your time starts now!*smile*

He presses the button and rushes out closing the door behind him.
You guys look at a big digital clock above that displays big,red numbers as it counts down from 01:00:00 as seconds go by.

Namjoon: And the count down has started...

He looks at you all.

Namjoon: I think we should all go in teams of two.
We'll cover more ground that way.

Jiho: Then we'll die because that's what happens to people who don't stick together.

Jimin's smile fades and he looks at him.

Jimim: It's an escape room and not a horror movie,Potterhead.

Jiho rolls his nut brown eyes.

Jiho: I know that,acornhead. I have a high IQ. Haven't you ever heard of sarcasm before?
Cause I was being sarcastic.
My expression and tone of voice clearly indicated it.
Anyways.
Of course splitting up is better.
As Namjoon said we'll find clues faster and thus we will hopefully get out of here in under the remaining time on that digital clock up there.
Through splitting up we'll be working smarter and not harder.

Jimin: And now he's turned into the male version of Velma! Jinkies!!!!!!
All that's missing is the rest of the gang.

Jiho: So as I was saying...*adjusting his glasses and completely ignoring Jimin's attempt at trying to bait him to get a reaction*

Jimin: Are you ignoring me?!?!?!

Jiho: Yes...yes...I am...
I don't engage with brainless people*bored expression*

Taehyung: Jimin's sounding like a needy girlfriend right now who's being ignored by her boyfriend*snort*

Jin: *trying his hardest not to laugh or smile at what Taehyung said*

Hoseok: *laughing and dimples with his cloud grey eyes closed*

Hansol: *feels his ears warming up at the sight*

Jen: *smirks watching*

Jimin: I heard what you said,Taehyung and I don't like it.

Taehyung: Does it look like I honestly care?

Jimin: No,it doesn't.
Shortie*smile*

Taehyung: *eyes going big*

Jin: *putting hand over his mouth really trying not to laugh*

Jiho: So as I was saying...
Splitting up is a good idea.

Jimin smiles more.

Jimin: I agree...
I wholeheartedly agree😄

Dad: *just might commit a murder right now*

Iseul and Chief Hwan: *ready for when and if your dad jumps Jimin*

Namjoon: *is obviously jealous but tries to act casual*

Hansol: *glancing at Hoseok*

Jen: *enjoying the overall drama*

Taehyung: *frowning because Jimin called him "shortie"*

Jin: *still upset with Taehyung but feels better and happy at how Jimin taught Taehyung a lesson*

Jiho: *feels like everyone's wasting time but decides to wait and stay quiet*

Yoongi: *smiling widely and super happy to be spending time with everyone*

Hoseok: *sees and knows Hansol's glancing at him but acts oblivious*

Jungkook: *excited for the game and also thinking about the snacks he ate at the movies*

Stella: *patiently waiting for everyone to be paired up so the game can start and everyone can start playing as the time is ticking*

Jimin: I choose Stella*small smile looking at you*

Namjoon: Of course you do...

Namjoon frowns looks at Jimin.

Namjoon: No,you don't.

He says a bit firmly.

Stella: O.o

Namjoon: I know who should go with who.

Jimin frowns deeply.

Namjoon: You can back out the game if you want...
You still have time.

He says to Jimin but knows Jimin won't back out.
Jimin smiles.

Jimin: Thank you for being so considerate.

He says sarcastically keeping his smile.

Jimin: But I'm perfectly fine and happy here*winks at you making you blush a bit*

Namjoon crosses his arms and focuses on everyone.

Namjoon: Alright then.
The teams of 2 are as follow.
Yeong and your dad.
Jiho and Jen.

Jen smiles as she looks as Jiho and Jiho's eyes widen a bit before he sheepishly looks away.

Namjoon: Jin and Taehyung.

Jin's smile dissappears and he looks at Taehyung to find Taehyung looking at him with a blank expression.
Jin frowns and looks down.
Taehyung rolls his eyes and shakes his head silently.

Namjoon: Jimin and Yoongi.

Yoongi smiles brightly and showing his cute chin dimple and internally Jimin feels a hint of disappointment but on the outside he returns Yoongi's smile.

Namjoon: Hoseok and Hansol.

Hoseok looks at Hansol with a blank expression and then smiles after a second.
Hansol on the other hand is internally panicking but keeps a straight face.

Hansol: Shit!!!!!
I'm so screwed.
They might as well start planning my funeral.
Namjoon is probably going to pair Stella with himself.
I mean he already took Yoongi and Jimin out.
Not killing obviously but by making them a team so he's most likely going to pair himself with her.
And I think maybe Jen has infected me with her virus of over analyzing and stuff.
But.
I mean it's possible that Namjoon would put himself and Stella as a team because only him,Stella,Jungkook and Chief Hwan are left...

Jimin: He better not do it...

Jimin thinks look at Namjoon as he thinks for a few seconds looking at you.

Namjoon: Stella...
...
Stella and Jungkook.

Jimin: Thank God!!!!!
At least she's not with him!!!!!!

You let out a breath you didn't even know you were holding since Namjoon set his chestnut brown eyes on you when he was deciding who to pair you with.

Jungkook: Yayy!!!!! Miss Stella and I are on the same team!!!!!!!^^

Namjoon: And last but not least...
Me and Chief Hwan.

Am I wrong for hoping that he would've picked me? Am I wrong for feeling a little disappointed? Just a bit? I mean I was hoping that he might pick me to be with him in a team...

But it's okay.

I mean I would've been distracted the whole time I'm sure if we were together instead.

In a team obviously.

Yay yah:3

Namjoon: Any objections?

Everyone stays silent.

It's surprising that Jimin hasn't said anything.

I thought he was going to say something as he's most definitely not happy with being paired with Yoongi.

Not that there's anything wrong with Yoongi obviously.

He's completely fine and I'm sure he's a fun person to be in a team with.

I just meant that Jimin obviously wanted to be paired with me and didn't get what he wanted so he is most likely not really happy being paired with anyone else but me.

Namjoon: Good...
Let's get moving then...
We've already lost 5 minutes...

As the others look around in the room...
Hansol,Jen and Jiho walk towards you...making sure the others can't hear.

Hansol: If I die...
Please decorate my coffins with my favorite flower...
Water lillies.

Jen smiles looking at him.

Jen: Oh come on...you're being dramatic.
You have a lot to live for!
You have a smart,cute,little sister.
You have Stella and Jiho and a lot of other things.
But most importantly you have a hunk to reel in:)
I mean just look at him.

She looks at where Hoseok is standing deep in thought.

Jen: Just look at that hair and how deeply he's thinking.

Hansol: Yep...after what happened at the comic store...I'm utterly screwed.

Jen: What?!?!?!?!*huge smile*

Hansol: Not so loud!!!!!! I don't want the whole world to hear!!!!!*panicked whisper*

Jen: Sorry!!!!!! I'm just so happy!!!!!! Spill!!!!!*excited whisper*

Hansol: Not now...I'll tell you guys later*whisper*

Jen: Why not now?!?!?!*whisper*

Hansol: For multiple reasons!
One of them is very obvious*looking at Hoseok*

Stella: Yah,I agree. You can tell us later.

Jen: I'm so happy!!!!*whisper*

Hansol: You just might spontaneously combust so calm down.

He looks at you.

Hansol: I think we should all go now and search.

And that's what you all do.
You're with and looking at Kook as he's smiling and you guys are still in the same room as you all entered with Yejoon.

Stella: I haven't found anything. Let's go search the other rooms.

You,Kook and some of the others head to the other rooms to search while the rest stay in the club room to continue looking for anything you guys might have missed.
You and Jungkook walk through the halls trying to open the doors.
They don't open.
You guys continue to try more doors and finally.
You two try your luck and one opens.
You two enter the room and see couches,a piano,a table,high shelves full of books and much more.

Stella: Wow...it looks like something out of a detective movie or something.

You look at Jungkook as he nods smiling.

Jungkook: Yes,it does.

Jungkook: Taehyung hyung would love this room.
He loves these kinds of things.
You probably don't know this but aside from being a big Harry Potter fan he's also a big fan of Sherlock Holmes and detective movies and well anything to do with it.
These days he's just a little more focused on Harry Potter but before he even found out about Harry Potter he was first interested in Sherlock Holmes movies when he found out about them and before he even found out about Sherlock Holmes movies he's always been interested in detectivevy things and detective movies.
I'm sure detectivevy is probably not a word but it's fine*bunny smile*
So yah.
Now you know more about Taehyung hyung.
He really loves Harry Potter and Sherlock Holmes.
If you ever go into his room you will notice how much he loved HP and SH.
It's honestly cool.

Stella: Wow! And yah. It's really cool.
Anyways...we should start searching.

You climb up the ladder that's leaning against the huge book shelves.

Stella: I'll search over here. You go check by the other shelf.

Jungkook: Okay:D

You look through books and don't find anything.
You look over your shoulder and see Jungkook rummaging by the other shelf that's on the opposite sit of the room next to the piano as his back is to you.
He stops and lets out a sigh.

Stella: No luck?

He looks over his shoulder at you as you're still standing on the big ladder.

Jungkook: None...
Miss Stella,did you find anything?

Stella: No...
But it's fine...we still have...

You look up at the digital clock above.

Stella: We still have 50 minutes...and we still have a lot to search so we shouldn't give up just yet.

He turns around and smiles.

Jungkook: You're right,Miss Stella.
Continue searching...I'll go check how everyone's doing*dimples*

Stella: Okay.

Jungkook exits the room as you continue searching the room.
You don't find anything and so you sit down on one of the chairs by the table as you look around the room...trying to think.
You then look behind you.
You see a candle.
You get up and bend down to look at it.

Stella: Mhm...it seems like there's something inside the candle.

You step a bit to your right and continue looking at the candle.

Stella: Mhm...

You reach for the candle and pick it up as you look at it.
You feel someone standing behind you...
Their hands on your hips.
Your heart beats fast as you look behind you.
As you do you see Jimin as he's smiling...

Jimin: Hey...it seems you have a habit of sticking your behind in my face...*eye smile*

He grips your hips tighter as he pulls you against him and you continue looking over your shoulder at him.
Needless to say the position you're in makes you feel a bit turned on.

Jimin: Not that I'm upset about it...

He caresses your spine making you shiver.
You fight the urge to push yourself against him.
You grip the candle tightly trying to stay in control of yourself.

Stella: J-Jimin...please let go...what if the others...

Jimin: I closed the door*smirk*
The others are too busy searching to notice that I slipped away...

He spins you around and as he does his arm goes around your waist to keep you up as he spins and pins you against the shelf that was next to you a few seconds ago but is now behind you.
His other hand moves from your hip to your ass and he squeezes.

Stella: Jimin...ah...you...I...we shouldn't...

Jimin: Sh...I know...I won't go against what you said...

He leans close to you.

Jimin: It's okay...don't worry*whisper*

You gulp as he leans down and starts kissing your neck.
You put your arms around his neck.
Still holding the candle as you pull him closer.
He continues kissing your neck as he puts both of his hands on your ass...
Pulling you up a bit.

God...I really want him but...

I can't...

It'll just complicate things even more...

I'm already attached to him as we're best friends and if we kissed and had sex then it would make me more attached...

He lightly bites your ear.
Completely unaware of the thoughts and mixed feelings you're experiencing at the moment.

Stella: Ah!

Jimin: Sh...
I love hearing you...
And I'd really love to hear you in another way too but we can't...
But...
We don't want any interruptions now do we?:)

He continues kissing your neck and chest as you close your eyes.
You shiver pulling him closer as you're trying to keep yourself from acting out what you want.
You feel him smiling against your neck as his hand goes to your shorts.
He slips his hand in and then moves your underwear to the side.
You let out a sharp breath and part your lips to say something.

Speaker: You all have 46 minutes remaining!!!!!!!!

You quickly push Jimin away as you two hear someone talking.
You're both visibly surprised.
You both look up and spot a speaker.

Speaker: I forgot to mention that we can hear everything as well and that we can talk to you guys through the speakers.
Don't forget I mentioned that we have cameras installed everywhere.
Actually I should eliminate you guys from the game because you two broke a rule but I'm not going to do that for the following reasons.
1. You guys are friends with Jen.
2. You guys seem like good people.
3. I really don't feel like eliminating you guys from the game.
4. I really don't want expose why you guys got eliminated and embarrass you guys.
5. I really don't wanna lie to Jen on why you guys got eliminated.
6. I am a person so I understand you know.
Anyways.
You guys are safe and still in the game so hurry up! You guys only have 45 minutes now!
Also I just want to let you two know that you two are the only ones who can hear me talking right now.
If it wasn't already obvious I'm not going to expose you two. I don't know what your guys's relationship is and it's none of my business whatsoever but just don't anything like that here again.
It's only my 5th day working here and I don't want to get in trouble.
Yejoon over and out!

Yejoon aka the guy from earlier disconnects as you stand completely red in the face...
Clutching the candle tightly.
Jimin averts his gaze from the speaker and looks at you.
He smiles.

Jimin: *chuckle*
You're adorable...

Jimin lifts up your chin...making you look at him.

Jimin: Sorry...but I guess we have no choice but to continue this later*smirk*

*Footsteps*

Jimin's smile fades.

Jimin: Someone's here...

You walk around Jimin and the door swings open.
Namjoon enters the room with his arms crossed and his expression blank as usual.
He stands completely still as his chestnut brown eyes flit from you to Jimin and back to you again.

Namjoon: What's he doing here?

Your eyes widen a bit.
You turn to face him as he's standing in the doorway.
You scratch the back of your neck feeling more awkward now than you did from when Yejoon spoke through the speaker.
You try and think of an answer.

Stella: He...well...he...e...

Jimin: I'm helping her search...
Got a problem with it?

Namjoon: Well...I said that Jungkook would help her not you...
But it's fine I guess...
Considering you're actually doing something,right?
Not trying to do anything unorthodox I hope.

You feel a bit shy and wonder if he's saying that because if Jimin did do something which he did btw.
Anyways because if Jimin did do something then it would be against the rules and complicate the already complicated situation or is it because he's jealous or something.

Jimin: Why are you even here?

He asks completely ignoring what Namjoon said and asked.

Namjoon: I came to check on how everyone's progressing and if Stella's enjoying herself.
I mean the day is for her to relax so.

He says the last sentence softly and looks at you as he says it.

Namjoon: So are you enjoying yourself,Stella?

I hope he says my name a million times.

I wouldn't mind hearing it from him T_T

Stella: Y...yah...
Thanks,Namjoon.
Are you enjoying yourself?

You fidget with the candle feeling so shy that you can't really properly look him in the eyes and so you just glance at him.

Namjoon: Mhm.
Yes. I am.
And I'm glad you're enjoying yourself,Stella.

Stella: *blushing*

Jimin: *biting his tongue not to say anything*

Namjoon: ...
Anyways*crossing his arms even more*
As I was saying.
I'm here to see how everyones progressing and also to maybe help if help is needed...

Jimin: We're doing just fine on our own. We don't need your help and you've already wasted enough time chit chatting here.
If you wanna help then go and stay out of our way.
We're fine.

Namjoon: Is that so?*looking at you*
I don't see that you two have found any clues...
Well...I do see one,but it's just one...
We only have 43 minutes left and you guys have only found one clue.

Jimin: *scoff*
At least it's something!
You probably haven't found anything yet!
I mean I don't see anything and yet you're hear talking down to us because we only have one clue!

Namjoon looks at him.

Namjoon: Actually I've found 3 clues already.
On my own by the way because I actually tried.
And you're making me sound like I'm some kind of bully.
I'm not talking down to you guys.
I was just stating a fact.
Being you two only found one clue and I'm sure you two would've found more but I'm sure you probably played a role in preventing that from happening.

Jimin: Yah yah.
Go ahead and blame and accuse me*deep frown and crosses his arms looking away*

Stella: *doesn't know what to say so just doesn't say anything*

Namjoon: *looks at you*
Anyways eventhough Jimin says you guys don't need help...
*walks over to you and Jimin watches him from the corner of his eye*
*stops infront of you*
I think you two do need help and I'll gladly assist.
Give me the candle.

You glance at Jimin and hand Namjoon the candle.
He takes it and looks into your eyes.

Namjoon: Okay...follow me.

You and Jimin follow Namjoon towards the table and you stand on his left with Jimin silently standing behind in the middle of you both.
He places the candle on the table.
You see him taking a box of matches from his distressed faded denim jacket.
The box of matches lay in his right fingerless gloved hand as he looks at it silently.
You raise an eyebrow at him not sure if you should speak or not because maybe he's thinking and you don't want to interrupt.
He sees it in the corner of his left eye and looks at you.

Namjoon: I found these matches in a drawer while searching.
I'm going to light the candle so it'll melt and then we can get to what's inside.

Stella: That's smart...I was actually just going to smash it or something.

Namjoon: I'm just using logic. I mean the candle will melt the wax.
Plus I found a note telling me to not smash a candle when I find it...
We also don't know if what's inside...
If it's fragile or not so I'm following what it said...
Plus a box of matches and a candle.
Better safe than sorry.
It makes sense to light the candle.
I mean why would I find a box of matches and you find a candle?
These two definitely go together.
One half and the other half making a whole.
It's meant to be.

You feel yourself blushing a bit at his words,how he said them softly and how he's looking at you.
You nod shy and impressed as Jimin scoffs behind you.
Namjoon turns his attention back to the box of matches and lifts his other gloved hand.
He opens the box and takes out a single match that lays in the match box.

Stella: You were right...
I mean I knew already but...
There's only one match.

Namjoon looks at you and nods.

Jimin: Are you sure you want to light the candle,God of destruction?
I mean we only have one chance.

Namjoon: ...
It'll be fine.

Jimin: You know best*sarcastic*

Is he jealous right now or is it just because he and Namjoon don't get along or is it his heat or a combination?

Namjoon closes the match box and lights the match.
He then lights the candle.
Jimin walks closer and pokes his head over your right shoulder and Namjoon's left shoulder as he watches with you guys how the candle burns.
It burns rather quickly showing something poking out.
Namjoon extinguishes the flame with his thumb and index finger making your eyes widen a little at the action and that he doesn't flinch or anything.
You guys look at the item as it's partly still in the wax candle.
Wordlessly you take the empty match box and the used match from Namjoon.
He glances at you and carefully removes the rest of the wax.
He takes out a small locket from the wax remains of the candle.

Namjoon: It's a heartshaped locket...
With the letter M engraved.

You jump a bit as two arms go around your waist and you get pulled back and feel a chin resting on your right shoulder.
You look to your right and see Jimin as he's resting right his right cheek on your shoulder.

Jimin: Good job,lioness...
You did it and I'm sure now we'll find our next clue because of you*low voice and smile*

You blush feeling your heart flutter as you're holding your breath looking at his eyes,full lips and how close his face is to yours and how he's looking into your eyes and at your lips.
You see out the corner of your left eye how Namjoon's looking at you two quietly and it makes you come back to reality.
You clear your throat turning your face away and look at Jimin out of the corner of your right eye.

Stella: I can't take the credit...
It's Namjoon.
You should be praising him instead.
If he hadn't found that match box then how would have gotten the locket out of the candle?

Jimin: Well I think you do cause you found the candle containing the clue and he just found a match box.
And as for your question.
It's simple.
We'd shave the wax with something.

You don't say anything and Namjoon continues to watch you both as Jimin lets go lifting his cheek from your shoulder and pulls away.
Namjoon clears his throat and you both look at him.

Namjoon: I see something...

You raise an eyebrow but he doesn't answer as he walks past you and Jimin going to the other side of the room.
He stops infront of the piano and you follow curious and Jimin follows close behind T_T
You stop next to Namjoon on his left and Jimin stops behind in the middle of you two as Namjoon looks at a statue of a woman who's deep in thought.
It stops at the shoulders as the statue is sitting on a table in between the shelf Kook was rummaging through and the piano.

Namjoon: What if...

Namjoon puts the locket around the statue's neck.
The statue's mouth opens and a small rolled up piece of paper held closed with a rubber band comes out.
Namjoon reaches out.

Jimin: Ohhhhh.
Be careful.
It might bite.

He says mockingly.

I really wonder if he's jealous or what...

It must be a combination...

I know Tae said Jimin will be more protective and stuff but wow...

Namjoon rolls his eyes and reaches in taking the rolled up piece of paper.
He takes the rubber band off and unfurls the note.

Namjoon: "I am in the air. I am everywhere. I can bring joy and sorrow to those who hear me. Without me the world would be black and white. No color. I've existed before humans and I will exist after. I am always changing and evolving. What am I?".
Mhm...

Jimin: What could it be?

You look at him.

Stella: Maybe it's spice?

Jimin's eyes widen a bit and you look at Namjoon as he's turned to you and looking at you.

Stella: Just hear me out,okay?

Namjoon: Of course.

He crosses his arms giving his full attention.

Namjoon: Tell us what you got.

Stella: *heart flutter and happily smiling*
*clears throat and nods still smiling*
Of course.
So.
Spice.
I mean actual spice,Jimin*glancing at him*

Jimin: *chuckling as he finds it funny that you immediately understood what he was thinking*

Stella: Spice makes the world "colorful". It brings happiness to some who love spice and can bring sarrow to those who have little to no spice tolerance. Without spice food would be bland and boring.
Some people can't even live without it so much that they refuse to eat food that doesn't have any spice in it.
And spice has always existed.
Not in their forms we consume then but they still existed.

Namjoon: Mhm...
You're right about that but...
It's not the answer...
"I can bring joy and sorrow to those who hear me".
Hear.
Not smell or taste...
But I think what you said...
Your attempt.
It was a good one.

Stella: You do?

Namjoon nods.

Namjoon: Of course.
Everything you said made sense.
You just missed out on the hearing part.
Other than that it was good.

Stella: Oh...*looks down feeling happy*

I don't know what's going on with him but I'm happy...

Namjoon: Anyways...
The answer isn't spice but the answer is pretty easy I think...
It's just not spice.
We just need to think harder.

Jimin: I think I know what it is.

You guys look at him as his chocolate eyes are big.
Bug eyes:3
I'm joking.
He has pretty eyes okay.
Not bug eyes T^T

Jimin: Sound!!!!!!!!
The answer is sound!!!!!!!
Sound is everywhere.
People can't live without it.
It makes the world colorful.
It's always existed and will always exist.
It's always changing and evolving.
It can bring happiness to people.
Like hearing their loved one laughing and bring sarrow.
Like hearing the sound of car crash or something.

You quickly turn to him.

Stella: You're right!!!!!!
Sound!!!!!
It all makes sense!!!!!
The answer is sound!!!!!!
It has to be sound!!!!!!
Good job,chimchim!!!!!*sweet smile*

New nickname alert.
Jimin's expression melts into a soft smile.

Namjoon: I think Jimin is close to the answer but sound isn't the answer either...

He says uncrossing his arms.
Almost immediately Jimin's smile fades and turns into a frown as he looks at Namjoon annoyed cause he just ruined a moment.
Poor Jimin;_;

Jimin: What are you asking about? The answer is obviously sound,dude.
What else could it be?!

Namjoon: Well...

He says unfazed at how annoyed Jimin obviously is and how loudly he asks the question.
He crosses his arms and looks at you before looking at the piano.

Namjoon: I think it's music...

Stella: Music?

He ask looking at him and turning to him.
He looks at you.

Namjoon: Yes...music...
Here's a piano in front of us...
You see that sheet of music?
I think we have to play the piano to get the next clue...
We have to play the song on that music sheet.

Jimin: And let me guess...
You're gonna play the piano,right?*still annoyed*

Namjoon: Since both of you can't...yah...

Namjoon turns away from Jimin and sits down as he opens the piano...
He picks up the sheet music and looks at it silently.

Namjoon: Mhm...

Jimin: What? Is it too difficult for you? Just say so if it is.

Namjoon: No...
For me it'll be easy but for you it would be difficult eventhough it's a pretty easy song.
Afterall I spend my time trying to learn as much as I can...
Trying to expand my knowledge...

He says still looking at the sheet music.

Jimin: And you're saying I don't?!

Namjoon: I never said that. Now be quiet. I have to concentrate.

Jimin grumbles under his breath looking down as Namjoon continues looking at the sheet music.
You take Jimin's hand and give it a light squeeze.
He looks at you and gives a small smile and you smile back before letting his hand go.
Namjoon looks from the sheet music to the piano.

Namjoon: Okay then...

Namjoon lets out a sigh as he cracks his knuckles.
Readying himself to play the song from the sheet.
He places his hands on the keys and starts playing the song.
It's soft and beautiful but it's not a happy song.
His fingers glide over the piano keys...
His eyes closed.
You watch from your spot...
Every move he makes you make sure to capture.
As he plays you can't help but stare.

He looks so calm...

Eventhough the song is a sad one...

The room instead feels more alive...brighter...

He looks alive and brighter...

The same way he did that night...

It seems he really loves the piano...

He looks so free...

Seeing him like this is real magic in my eyes...

He always looks so...

Like he's always on guard but that night and now...

You're so busy listening and watching Namjoon playing the song that you completely forget that Jimin's literally there watching you basically drool over Namjoon.
But honestly no one can blame you!:)
He continues playing the song...
Not long after he finishes...
His eyes remain closed and his fingers remain on the piano keys...
You clap your hands and it causes him to open his eyes and look at you.

Stella: Wow!!!! That was
amazing!!!!!!*smiling*

Namjoon: It was nothing...

Stella: It was not nothing!!!!!
The way you played was amazing!!!!
Really!!!

Namjoon: Mhm...

He looks down.

Namjoon: It seems we have a new item...

Namjoon bends down and then gets up.
You and Jimin gather around Namjoon as he opens his big fingerless gloved hand.
There's a small golden key that's half the size of his hand.

Stella: It's a key...
But a key for what? It's too small to be for a door...

Jimin: Yah...it's not big enough...

He claps his hands as his eyes go wide and then he smiles.

Jimin: I think I know where this key has to be used*proud smile*

Stella: You do? O.o

Jimin nods making his honey blonde dyed wavy hair shake.

Jimin: Yes. I do.
Before coming here I went to search a room on my own and over there I found a small box with a keyhole right about the same size as that key*pointing at the key Namjoon's holding*
So maybe the key unlocks that box.

Stella: You're a genius,chim!!!!!*happy that we're gonna find out next clue*

Jimin smiles proudly and pushes his hair back.

Jimin: Thanks,beautiful*wink*

Namjoon: Where's this room?

Jimin's smile dissappears and he looks at Namjoon.

Jimin: Why do you want to know? Aren't you supposed to be helping Hwan?

Namjoon: Aren't you supposed to be helping Yoongi?

Jimin: ....................
*looks at you* Follow me.

Before you can even reply Jimin grabs your right hand and leads to the door with a serious or should I say jealous look on his face:3
Namjoon follows you both as Jimin walks deliberately fast through the hallways.
You're finding it a little difficult to keep up as Jimin pulls you along.
You guys enter a room and Jimin stops.
You let out a breath as your heart is beating fast from how fast you walked just now.
Jimin turns and looks at you over his right shoulder.

Namjoon: Where's the box?

You and Jimin look as you two see Namjoon on your lefts inside the room as you two didn't notice him before.
Jimin turns to face him as he lets go of your hand.

Jimin: Oh...you're here...
Great...*obviously sarcastic*
The box is on the desk.
Just open it,take the clue or whatever and go help Hwan.

Stella: O.o

Jimin: I mean you've "helped"-
Ruined a moment when you entered that room and then ruined some more.
It's like everyone's out to stop me from spending time with Stella and it's fucking pissing me off.
So now you're done here.
You don't have any other reason to be here.

Namjoon: Neither do you but you're still here...
*wants to say it but decides not to as he has a game to focus on and won't give Jimin reason to freak out on him*
He'll probably just say he's her best friend and I'm not and I should mind my business.
No use in replying.

Jimin looks at you as you're looking at Namjoon and he's looking at you.

Jimin: Come on,Stella...let's go.

Jimin gently takes your hand and gently leads you to couch that's against the wall as there are two other couches that are facing each other as they're on either side of the other couch.
You come back to reality and Namjoon averts his gaze.
You do too.
Jimin sits you down on the couch as he sits down next to you on your right...
Putting his left arm around your shoulders...making you lean against him.
You lift your head and look at him.

Stella: Jimin?

Jimin: Hm?

Stella: Are you okay? You look tired...

He smiles and looks at you from the corner of his left eye.

Jimin: I'm fine...I didn't get much sleep so I'm tired...that's all...
Don't worry,okay?
I see you're a bit tired too so rest a bit.

You nod your head and close your eyes.
You fall asleep almost instantly.
Jimin continues to smile as he looks at you and then carefully gets up and lays you down.
He's so busy smiling and looking at you sleeping that he doesn't notice Namjoon standing on the other side of the room watching.
Namjoon crosses his arms after a few seconds as he was waiting for Jimin to look but obviously Jimin didn't do that.

Namjoon: Ahem.

Namjoon clears his throat and it causes Jimin's smile to drop and look over his left shoulder at him as Namjoon's standing by the table with the box and a bunch of other stuff on it.

Namjoon: You know...what you're doing is unfair to her...
You know the situation...You're basically leading her on...
You're just making this harder on everyone...especially her.

Jimin: What I do isn't your business.
And if you wanna talk about unfair then think back to how you treated her...and now all of a sudden she's "worthy enough" that you don't completely ignore her.
At least I've been honest from the start.

Namjoon: You know that's not true.
Even now...
You're still not being honest with her.
*looks at your sleeping form*
I just hope she'll be fine and that things won't be more difficult for us but especially her in the near future.
And if it will be then it'll most likely be all because of you,Jimin.
But I won't get involved.
Actions have consequences and you'll just have to face and deal with those consequences when they come around.
*looks at Jimin*

Jimin: You know nothing about my and her relationship...
And you don't have to either because it's none of your business.
So keep your mouth shut,open the fucking box and leave.

He looks infront of him.

Namjoon: Fine...I warned you...

Namjoon takes the box and leaves as Jimin's looking at you.
Jimin lets out a sigh.

-In another room in the escape room-

Hansol's sitting on a chair by a long table with lots of chairs and the room he's sitting in has lots of shelves and books.
It looks like some kind of library.
Hansol's busy looking through a book.

Hansol: .................
*looks up from the book*

On the other side of the room Hoseok stands with his back to Hansol as he's standing infront of a shelf with lots of books and looking at them.
He moves the books around looking in between them in hopes that maybe he'll spot a clue or maybe something that leads to one.

Hansol: He's so handsome...
Instead of flipping through all these books and looking through them...
I'd rather look at him.
He's a literal angel and he looks so angelic...
I miss his red hair...but the black hair dye still looks good on him.
Honestly...I think any color would look great on him but I do miss his red hair.
I could stare at him all day long...but obviously I wouldn't...
I don't have the courage to do that...
To openly stare at him and to talk to him like a normal person.
But I really wish I could look at him and talk with him without feeling nervous.
I made such a fool of myself earlier and I really hope I don't do that in the future but I have a feeling I'll definitely make a fool of myself again infront of him.
Like it's like my brain whenever I see him it's like my brain tells my body "Okay. Target visible. Now act like a fool and embarrass yourself so he might even think you're crazy".
It's like my brain hates me.
Whyyyy.
I really wish I could just act normal.
I feel so jumpy around him.
And...
I'm not trying to come off as a creep.
Texting him is easier than talking with him in person...
Texting him is still hard though...but it's easier than talking face to face with him...
Even sending that voice note earlier...
I felt so nervous...
I rarely send voice notes to anyone as whenever it comes to contacting people/getting contacted I prefer texting/being texted.
When I do on rare occasion send a voice note I'm calm and easily start the voice note and send it after I'm done talking.
I act completely normal,but before I started the voice note I sent him earlier...
I felt so nervous.
So so nervous.
I had to try and calm myself before starting the voice note.
Even when starting it and while talking I nervous and was scared I'd make a fool of myself.
And I almost did.
If I had held onto the recording button longer after telling that little white lie then Jen would've exposed me and I would have felt so embarrassed.
Ugh.
Honestly I love my sister but I also want to strangle her for telling him that I'll teach him how to draw...
But at the same time I'm happy she did it...
It's just I'm nervous of being around him...
Nervous I'll make a fool of myself.
Nervous because our first lesson starts tomorrow.
I really want to help him but I feel so nervous and I don't know what to do about it...
I can only hope that by some miracle as time passes and I spend time with him that I'll feel less nervous and also make a fool of myself less often.
Wishful thinking but also more realistic than wishing I'd not feel nervous at all and not ever make a fool of myself again.
Lord,please give me strength for tomorrow and the future...
I'm gonna need a lot of it T_T
Especially for tomorrow...
*sighs as he admires Hoseok and wishes he wasn't a coward*

Hoseok's stops moving the books around and looks over his right shoulder as he turns his torso a bit and looks at Hansol.

Hoseok: Did you see something?

Hansol: Probably...the most handsome guy I've ever seen in my entire 24 years of being alive...but obviously I can't and WILL NOT say it.
As I said before I'm not trying to come off as a creep! I already drew him without knowing and asking...which in my opinion is creepy...
I'm not going to allow the creep meter to go any higher...
So I'll just act casual.
Honestly I wish you could hear my thoughts but at the same time I don't.
Book...k...information...uh...
I think I just had a brain fart...

Hoseok silently walks along the long table and shelves of books and then walks around the table before stopping behind the chair at the end of the table as the chair that Hansol's sitting is the chair on Hoseok's left.

Hansol: And now he's standing next to me...
I should have just kept my mouth shut.

He thinks as he doesn't look at Hoseok and continues to look at the shelves of books.
Hoseok pulls out the chair and walks to the left of it before turning and sitting down as he leans a bit with his right side against the table looking at Hansol.

Hansol: And now he's sitting next to me and looking directly at me with those grey eyes of his...great...just great...

Hoseok crosses his arms and leans a bit more against the table and tilts his head towards Hansol as he continues to look at him and Hansol decides to look at him as he can't just ignore Hoseok.

Hansol: I'm screwed...

Hoseok: I didn't get what you said...could you repeat?

Hansol: Y...yah...
I meant to say that I haven't found anything useful to lead us to the next clue...
I guess I had a brain fart so I wasn't making sense.
Sorry( ' • • )

Hoseok shakes his head with a small smile.

Hoseok: It's completely fine.
Have all the brain farts you want...
I don't mind...

He says tilting his head more.

Hansol: Y...yah*gulp*
I guess it's cause my brain is just fried from all the concentrating and dehydration...but it's fine*nervous laugh*

Hoseok: I see...
May I see that book you're holding?

Hansol: Of course...

Hansol hands over the book as Hoseok looks through it.
Hansol looks down at the table with his hands in his lap and then lifts his head a little as he lifts his eyes and looks at Hoseok.

Hansol: Do you see anything?

Hoseok: No...but I'm not giving up yet...

He turns a bit to his right in his chair and then crosses his left leg over his right.
He foot gently brushes against Hansol's right leg and his foot stays there as he continues to look through the book.

Hansol: *might pass out and internally surprised but somehow has a neutral expression*

Hansol doesn't move his leg away as he's looking down at how Hoseok's foot is against his leg.
Hoseok looks up from the book and at Hansol.

Hoseok: It has the letter A written on this whole page...
We found a part of the password...
Are you okay?

Hansol tears his eyes away and lifts his head as he looks at Hoseok.

Hansol: I don't think I am to be completely honest...

Hansol manages to keep his expression neutral.

Hansol: Yah...I'm perfectly fine...why are you asking?

Hoseok: Well...you're sweating a bit...on your forehead...

Hoseok sets the book down and moves closer as he places his four fingers on Hansol's forehead and his fingers lightly bump against his cap.
Hansol's eyes widen and his mouth hangs open at the action and also at how close Hoseok is.

Hansol: *internal panic*

Hoseok: Jesus Christ!!!!!*surprised expression*

His expression turns serious as he looks from Hansol's forehead to Hansol's eyes.

Hoseok: You're forehead feels very warm...
And your face is also very red...
Maybe you're getting a fever...
I think we'll end the game here...
The others can continue playing but you can't continue like this...

Hansol: I---

Hoseok: I know what you're think but don't worry about it.
I'll take you home and I don't mind leaving in the middle of the game and taking you,okay?

Hansol: Hoseok wait!!!!!!!

Hoseok gets a bit startled and pulls his hand away looking at him surprised.
Hansol looks at him with a blank expression.

Hansol: I'm fine...I'm not sick or anything.
It's just a bit warm in here as there are no windows or anything...
Which is your fault!!!!!!! Why did you just touch me like that!?!?!?!?!?!
Do you want me to die?!?!?!?
Because I'm seriously on the verge of dying right now if you don't back up!!!!!
I swear to God that Jen is trying to kill me with putting me in awkward positions with you and you're trying to complete the task of killing me!!!!!!
That's all...

Hoseok: *expression goes neutral*
Are you sure?
You're feeling quite warm...

Hansol's eyes widen and his mouth opens as Hoseok lifts his hand again.

Hansol: He's gonna do it again!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hansol jumps out of his chair and backs up.
His back lightly meets one of the bookshelves.
Hoseok looks at him surprised and then his expression goes neutral as he gets up from his chair and walks towards Hansol.
He stops right infront of him and crosses his arms as he looks at Hansol who's definitely internally panicking.

Hoseok: Are you sure you're okay?

He looks down and then back at Hansol's wide chocolate brown eyes.

Hoseok: You're sweating,red in the face,breathing fast and hard...
And now...
Your hands are shaking...

Hansol: I...I...well...uh...h...

Hoseok uncrosses his arms.

Hoseok: And now you're stuttering...
Mhm...
Either you have a fever...

He takes a big step closer as their lips are only 2 and a half inches away from each other.

Hoseok: Or something is making you nervous...

Hansol: Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!

Hoseok: So which one is it?
You don't have to hide...just tell me and I'll help...
I'll gladly help...
We are friends afterall,right?

Hansol: I---

Hoseok: We're going to be working very closely from tomorrow onwards...

He moves closer.

Hoseok: So I want you to feel comfortable around me...

Hansol: Someone save me!!!!! TOO MUCH IS HAPPENING TODAY!!!!!!!
IS HE GONNA--- IS HE--- IT CAN BE--- IT'LL BE MY FIRST--- OMG---
Well...I...
I can't...no...no...I can't...
I'm not ready for this and he's straight.

Hansol steps back and his back fully meets the bookshelf.
His elbow rests on top of one of the books in the shelf.
He goes to raise his hand and pulls the book unknowingly.
The place starts shaking.

Hansol: Shit!!!!!
It's an earthquake!!!!!!

Hoseok: !!!!!!!!!

Hansol: Ahhhhh!!!!!!!!!

*THUMP*

Hansol: *slowly opens his eyes as he's laying on his back*
What just happened? Did the earthquake stop?

He rolls around and comes face to face with Hoseok.
He realizes that he's laying on Hoseok as Hoseok's lying on his back on the floor and his eyes are closed.
He looks at him.

Hansol: Omg...
I should get up right now!!!!!

*Sound of clothing moving*

Hansol: What...

He realizes that Hoseok's holding him down with his left arm around his back.
He looks back at Hoseok to see his eyes are now open.
He turns his head a bit to his right and closes his eyes clutching his forehead with his right hand as he's wearing a pained expression.

Hoseok: Ah...

He rubs his forehead.

Hansol: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Are...e...are you okay?

Hoseok pulls his hand away and looks at him.

Hoseok: Yah...my head just hurts a bit...but it's fine...
Are you okay?

Hansol: Nope...I'm not fine...
I think the universe is out to kill me or something...
Yah...I think so...

Hoseok smiles.

Hoseok: Good...
So...
I think you should close your mouth...
A fly might go in there...

Hansol: *closes his mouth*
Yah...uhm...I'll just get up now...uh...

Hoseok: Sure...*lets go of him and continues smiling*

Hansol gets up and turn his back to Hoseok as his hands are behind his back and he's looking at the floor to his left.
Hoseok gets up and smiles looking at him from behind.
He looks up and his grey eyes widen.

Hoseok: Whoa...

Hansol looks as well and his chocolate brown eyes widen.

Hansol: Oh...my...

Hoseok: Secret passageway...

Speaker: Yep!!!!!! A secret passageway!!!!! Pretty cool,right?!

Hansol and Hoseok look around as Hansol jumps.

Hansol: Is this place haunted or something?!

Speaker: Who knows...maybe it is...
Legend has it that this is where a big war took place...
Millions and millions of soldiers died...and were laid to rest here...
And then after many,many years went by...
The construction of this mall began...
So it's possible...but it's just a legend...
No proof that it actually happened...but it's still pretty spooky,right?
*making ghost noises*

Hansol: *scared*

Hoseok: *silently smiling while looking at Hansol*

Speaker: Btw this is Yejoon...
Aka the guy who brought you all in here earlier.
So...you guys are the only ones who can hear me right now.
And even when I don't use the speaker I can hear everything through my headphones that's going on...everything...

Hoseok's smile fades as he looks down at the floor and Hansol's still panicking and scared about the legend Yejoon spoke about and the ghost sounds he made.

Speaker: If you guys forgot there are cameras all over...so...

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

Speaker: I'm not a snitch so I'm not gonna say anything...
And I ain't judging.
It's the 21st century.
But what I am gonna say is that you two should get to work...
Thirty five minutes remain. Also it's only only 5th day here so please don't do anything that could get me in trouble or fired.
I'd really,really appreciate it.
Yejoon over and out!

Yejoon disconnects and an awkward silence settles over Hansol and Hoseok.
Hoseok walks past Hansol.
He stops as he's still looking down.
He looks over his right shoulder at Hansol who's avoiding eye contact.

Hoseok: I guess we should go through the passageway...
To find the next clue...
Are you coming with?

Hansol looks at him as he stands up straighter.
His expression blank.

Hansol: Of course...the game isn't over yet...

Hoseok: Yah...

He looks infront of him and walks into the passageway.
Hansol stays back for a second as he looks at his shoes and lets out a soft sigh before looking ahead and following Hoseok.

-In another room in the escape room-

Jiho and Jen are standing both surprised.
Jiho infront and Jen behind him.

Jiho: Wow...
This place...

Jen smiles.

Jen: IT'S SO COOL!!!!!!!

Jen runs to the other side of the room.

Jiho: Jen!!!!! Wait!!!!!

Jen continues squealing and looking around the room in excitement.
His expression turns blank.

Jiho: Jen,we have to look for clues.

He looks up.

Jiho: We only have 33 minutes left.

He looks at her.

Jiho: The others are making good progress already from what I heard...
We haven't found anything yet.
We haven't even found the exit yet.
And we only have 33 minutes left to do that. Who knows maybe none of us have found the exit yet so then finding all the clues is useless when we don't even know where the exit doors are...
But maybe we'll find it but to open it we'll need to find the remaining clues.
If we don't do all that under the 33 minutes that remain...
Then we'll lose the game and whatever prize awaits behind the exit doors. In other words we'll be known as losers...because we lost.

Jen's excitement and smile fades as she turns around slowly and looks at Jiho.

Jen: What did you just say?

She frowns deeply placing her hands on her hips.

Jiho: *scared* I--

Jen: We are not losers and we'll never be!!!!!!
We will win this game under the remaining time no matter what!!!!!!!
Do you get me?!?!?!?

Jiho: Yes...s...

Jen smiles widely and claps her hands infront of her.

Jen: Great!!!!! Now let's search and win!!!!!!

She look around humming happily as Jiho's still stunned and watching her.

Jiho: The way she turned serious and then immediately happy is impressive...
Impressive but freaky...

Jen: Jiho!!!!!! Get a move on!!!!!!! We're not going to lose,okay?!?!?!
Aigo!!!!!!!!! Come and help!!!!!!!

Jiho: *gulp* Coming...

Jen and Jiho search the room.

Jiho: Wait!!!!!! What's this?

Jen looks and sees him holding a piece of paper.

Jen: It's a blank piece of paper...that's all...

Jiho: That's what it looks like...but it isn't...

Jen: Huh? What are you talking
about?*look at him*

Jiho: Remember that riddle that officer Yeong said that he couldn't figure out?
"What seems empty isn't. To make the invisible visible use the light".
This page seems blank...but what if it isn't but looks blank...
I know what we have to do...

He takes looks at the lamp infront of him and turns it on while holding the page to it.

Jen: Wow!!!!! It worked!!!!!

Jiho: Yep...and it has the letter T on it.
Great. We found a clue...
Hopefully the other have found the exit.

He turns towards Jen and his eyes widen.
Jen's eyes widen looking at him.

Jiho: Wait!!!!! Do you see that?

She blinks confused.

Jen: Huh? See what?

Jiho: Look at that shelf.

Jen looks over her shoulder.

Jen: Oh...

Jiho: Do you see it now?

Jen: Yah...it seems there's a hole behind that shelf...

Jiho: Exactly.

Jen: Maybe it'll lead us to the next clue!!!!!!
We have to move it and check!!!!

Jen walks to the shelf and starts pushing as Jiho's still staring wide eyed.

Jen: Are you gonna help or not?

He blinks and his expression turns blank.

Jiho: Of course!

Jiho walks to Jen and helps her push the shelf.
After some pushing the shelf gives way to a secret passageway.
Without thinking Jen heads in and Jiho follows.

-In another room in the escape room-

Taehyung sighs and shakes his head making his silver dyed hair shake as Jin's silently looking at him with a frown.

Jin: .............

Taehyung: ................
*crosses his arms*
So...
Are we just going to stand here as you glare at me...
Maybe waiting for me to turn into a pile of ash or something...
Or are we maybe actually going to use time we have left to search the room?
I think the latter is best...
What do you say?

Jin: ..........................

Taehyung: Okay then...go ahead and continue glaring while I do all the work...

Jin: *still not saying anything*

Taehyung: Okay...I'm gonna go search...feel free to help or not...

He walks and rummages.

Taehyung: I don't see anything over here...

He looks over his shoulder at Jin.

Taehyung: Where do you think they'd hide the clue?

Jin: *amping up glare and silent treatment up to 100000000%*

Taehyung: Great...just great...
You talk so much when it's not needed but now that it's needed suddenly you won't talk*rolling eyes and continues looking around*

Jin: ...
..............
........................
Are you seriously ignoring me right now?!

Taehyung: *turns around and looks at him*
I'm the one who's being ignored.
I'm trying to talk to you and you don't say anything.
I'm basically having a conversation with a manikin...
And so I'm choosing to focus my attention and energy on searching instead of engaging in conversation with you.

Jin: That's literally what it means to ignore someone!!!!!!>:(

Taehyung scratches the side of his head acting like he's thinking as his other hand is on his hip.

Taehyung: Is it?

He looks at him acting surprised as he claps his hands.

Taehyung: Oh...I guess it is then!!!!!!!
It is what is it...I guess it can't be helped...*exaggerated shrug*

Jin: You crusty noodle haired person!!!!!!!!!!!
You!!!! Ugh!!!!!*too frustrated to even speak*

Taehyung: I'm waiting so talk...
I don't have time to waste.

Jin: Are you saying talking to me is a waste of time?!?!?!?!
Are you saying that I'm annoying?!?!?!?!

Taehyung: Well...
You're not communicating anything important to me right now so talking to you right now is actually a waste of time.
And haven't I made it abundantly clear that you do annoy me often?
I mean...it pretty much goes without saying,right?
I mean you keep trying to take pictures with me and of me and want to post them.
Not to mention you freak out when we wear a similar article of clothing and then you want to take a picture of it and post that we're as you would put it "#twinning".
And that in my humble,honest opinion is very,very weird.
Something I don't understand...
Something I don't wish to understand.

Jin: It's called having a
life!!!!!!!*frowning more*
I go out and have fun while you just eat,workout,work,read,eat again,read again,eat again,read again,shower,
sleep,repeat!!!!!!
You should be grateful I even see you as great enough that I want you to take a picture with me!!!!!!!!!!
But instead of appreciating me!!!!!
You find me annoying!!!!!!!!!!
Well!!!!! Fine!!!!!!
You want me to leave you alone,right?
Not to bother you?!?!?!
Fine!!!!!!!!!
I'll do it!!!!!! There!!!!!!! You got your wish!!!!!!!!
Since I'm clearly not needed or wanted here!!!!!!!!
I'll see myself out and go help the others!!!! Good bye,Kim Taehyung!!!!!!!

Jin storms out and slams the door closed behind him.

Taehyung: Well...at least now I can actually do some proper searching...

Speaker: Holy moly!!!!!! That was intense!!!!!!
I thought this whole place was gonna blow up or something!!!!!!
Btw this is Yejoon.

Taehyung: *looks up and immediately spots the speaker*
Yah,I know...it's my first time being in an escape room but I did do some research...I look up different stuff so...
Anyways...I should continue searching...
Time is running out...

Speaker: Yah,but shouldn't you like...maybe go after him?

Taehyung: Nope...he's the dramatic one in the group...
He'll be back any minute now...
..........
................
.......................

Speaker: *clears throat*
Doesn't sound like he's coming back...

Taehyung: Fine...I'll go check on him...

Speaker: Great!!!! He's in the room 5 rooms down behind this room.
Just walk to the door,go right,walk down the hall and you'll see it.
Yejoon over and out!!!!!

Yejoon disconnects and Taehyung sets out to go to the room that Yejoon said Jin is in.
Taehyung sighs as he stands infront of the door ready to face a grumpy,pouting Jin that's on the other side of the door.
He opens the door and just like Yejoon said Jin is there.
His back is facing Taehyung but then he turns and looks over his left shoulder and spots Taehyung standing by the door.

Jin: Why are you here?!?!?!
Didn't you just say that I annoy you?!

Taehyung: Yes,you annoy me...

Jin: *glare*

Taehyung: But you still got paired up with me...by Namjoon.
And so I still expect you to do your bit...

Jin turns and looks infront of him again.

Jin: Tch...

Taehyung: Oh! Come on!!!! You can ignore me all you want!!!!! Give me the silent treatment!!!! Act like I don't exist or whatever!!! But just do your bit!

Without saying anything Jin starts searching the room.
Taehyung joins in.

Jin: It's feeling cold in here...
Oh!!!!! There's a velve!!!! Maybe it'll help!!!!
I could turn it and the room will be nice and warm...hopefully...
Afterall I can't let my beautiful skin get cold.

Jin walks towards the velve to turn it.

Taehyung: Uh...what are you doing?

Jin turns to him but gives a blank stare as he looks past Taehyung's face.

Taehyung: Oh yah...I almost forgot you're acting like I don't exist,right?

Jin turns to the velve and then turns it...
Within a few seconds the room is warm and full of steam.
Jin sits down as he enjoys the warmth.

Taehyung: Yep,sit down and I'll do the work...
And now all this steam is going to make it harder to see but whatever...

Jin glares at Taehyung...not looking directly at him.
Taehyung's eyes widen.

Taehyung: Whoa...

Jin gets up and stands with Taehyung...trying to see what he's looking at.
Both of their eyes are wide.

Taehyung: Are you seeing what I'm seeing?

Jin: *wants to say yes but is still angry*

Taehyung: It's the letter R.
Namjoon told all of us that the clues we need to unlock the doors might all be letters...
He got 3 letters...and we got one...the letter R.
At least we found something.

He looks at Jin who's still stunned and staring at the letter R.

Taehyung: Come on we should check the other room...

He looks at the digital clock.

Taehyung: Only 25 minutes remain...hopefully one of us has found the exit...

The two of them walk to the room they were in earlier and their eyes widen at the sight before them.

Taehyung: Uh...was that tunnel in the wall there a bit minute ago when we were here?

Jin: Uh...

Taehyung: Let's check it out.

Taehyung walks towards the tunnel aka passageway.

Jin: Hey!!!!! Wait for me!!!!!

As soon as Jin spoke and Taehyung stopped in his tracks and looks over his shoulder at him he immediately puts his hands over his mouth.
Taehyung turns around and crosses his arms over his chest.

Taehyung: Did you just speak?

He asks smiling his famous boxy smile.

Jin: *glare* No,I didn't!!!!!

Taehyung uncrosses his arms still smiling as Jin walks past him and towards the tunnel visibly annoyed.

Taehyung: See? You just did it again!!!!!:)

Jin: Shut up!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Taehyung: And again:)

Jin: Ugh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*frustrated noises*

-In another room in the escape room-

Your dad,Iseul and Chief Hwan are busy searching the room for clues or anything that will lead them to a clue.
Your dad's busy grumbling to himself as he looks around.

Iseul: Where could the clue be?

Hwan stands up after inspecting the bookshelf.
He shrugs.

Hwan: I have no clue where the clue is...

Iseul: ...

Hwan: *snorting*

Iseul: *rolling his eyes and shaking his head*
You're really having fun huh?

Hwan: Yes,now let's continue searching.
We need to win!
I don't care what the prize is but we have to win!

Iseul: Of course.
You love winning.

Hwan walks around the room looking around.

Hwan: Who doesn't?
Who wants to lose and will be happy losing?

Dad: *more grumbling to himself as he looks around*

Iseul: I'd be happy losing.
I'd be fine with it.

Hwan: I knew you'd say that but winning is fun.
The nice feeling of winning.
Even if it's something small.
The rush of excitement*standing with a childlike look of wonder on his face*

Iseul: *sighs and shakes his head*
Let's just continue searching.

Hwan: Yes,let's win!

Iseul: We need to find a clue first.
We haven't found anything yet.

Hwan: Yet! Meaning we still have to find one and we will.
Just think of winning and we'll definitely find the clue.

Dad: *grumble,grumble and grumble*

Hwan and Iseul look at each other,at your dad and then back at each other as your dad's back is facing them as he continue to grumble away while searching for a clue.

Hwan: *pressing his lips into a thin line*

Iseul: *raising an eyebrow*

Hwan: *making his eyes big and points to your dad with his eyes and his lips*

Iseul: *crossing his arms frowning*

Hwan: *crunches his nose leaning to the side towards where your dad is*

Iseul: *narrows his eyes*

Hwan: *points to your dad multiple times using his eyebrows while still leaning to the side*

Iseul: *sighs rolling his eyes as he uncrosses his arms*
*nods*

Hwan: *smiles*

Iseul: *shaking his head as he turns to your dad who's still looking around and oblivious of the whole non verbal conversation Hwan and Iseul just had regarding him*
Jaehyun?

Your dad stops and looks over his shoulder at him.

Dad: Yes?

Iseul: *glances at Hwan*

Hwan: *pressing lips into thin line*

Iseul: *doesn't feel like doing this as he already knows how it's going to play out*
Are you okay?

Your dad looks at him for a second.

Dad: Yes,I am.

Your dad continues searching.

Dad: Why do you ask?

Iseul: *looks at Hwan*

Hwan: *nods to your dad*

Iseul: ...
*looks at your dad*
Well...for the last few minutes that we've been searching you've been grumbling.
You look annoyed to be completely honest.

Dad: Annoyed?

He glances at him.

Dad: I'm not annoyed.
I'm just a bit tired.

Iseul: Are you sure?

Dad: Yes.

Iseul: ...
......................
Okay then.

Hwan: *what the hell expression*

Iseul: Just wanted to check.

Dad: That's really nice of you but now you know I'm fine.

Iseul: Yah...fine...

Hwan: *internally face palming*
*giving a what was that face*

Iseul: *rolls his eyes*
*mouthing the words "I tried"*

Hwan: =_=

The two of them continue searching.

Dad: ...
.............................
You know what?

The two of them perk up.

Iseul: What is it?

Dad: Nothing really.

He says turning around to face them.
Hwan and Iseul don't say anything.

Dad: It's just.
Okay.
You guys maybe haven't noticed because I have a pretty good poker face but...
I don't like that Jimin guy.

Iseul & Hwan: *not surprised at all and already knew it*

Hwan: What?*acting overly surprised*

Iseul: *quick serious glance*
Really?

Dad: Yah...

He leans against the wall.

Iseul: May we know why?
Eventhough we already know why.

Yad: Sure.
The thing is.
I love my daughter a lot.
She's my only child.
The product of me and her beloved mom...
Aera...
I really love my daughter a lot and she's already gotten hurt and has been through a lot.
She got cheated on.

Hwan and Iseul express actual surprise.

Hwan: What?

Your dad nods.

Dad: *nods*
I didn't really like the guy but I love my daughter so I allowed him and her to have a relationship.
Jung Leo.
It was her first relationship and she hasn't dated since.
My daughter was happy and that made me happy.
You guys know how Valentine's has past?

They nod.

Dad: Well that was their anniversary.
She found him in bed with another woman on that day.
It was their 5 year anniversary.
He said many disgraceful thing about her.
Blamed her for everything.
He admitted to cheating with over 30 different woman in those 5 years.
He said he did it cause she wasn't sleeping with him anymore.
He said so many disgusting things.
So many.
Seriously.
*places his hands over his eyes*
I can't even bring myself to repeat them...

They continue listening silently to him.

Dad: That day I felt so much rage when she told me what happened.
She was so sad.
She couldn't even talk properly.
It hurt...it really hurt...
That day I told Leo's parents about his actions and the three of us covered his prized car in toilet paper.
I sent a picture to my daughter hoping she'd feel better but it obviously didn't work.
...
*sigh*
What I trying to say is...
Jimin and my daughter are obviously close.
She's happy and I'm happy that she is but...
...
I don't want her happiness to plummet again like it did.
She told me they're just friends and super comfortable with each other.
That he's a flirt and likes teasing her...
That there's nothing more to their relationship but...
I'm worried...
I love my daughter a lot and I want to keep her safe...
I won't allow anyone to hurt her.

Hwan and Iseul look at each other for a few seconds before looking at your dad as he's leaning over with his back still against the wall.
Hwan looks at Iseul and then at your dad before looking at him again.
Iseul lets out a silent sigh and looks at your dad before approaching slowly.

Iseul: ...
*places his hand on your dad's shoulder*
Jaehyun...

Your dad lifts his head looking up at him.

Iseul: As a man and as a dad of a young woman I completely get your concern.
...
Unfortunately we can't protect them all the time.
But we can be there to help them heal.
Try not to think too much.
I'm sure Stella doesn't want you constantly worrying about her.
I know it's difficult.

Your dad nods.

Your dad: Yah...
I just want her to be happy.
To stay happy.
*looks down*

Iseul nods and pats your dad's shoulder.

Dad: *sniff*
*sigh*
...
*lifts his head and stand up slowly*

Iseul: *takes his hand off his shoulder and gives him some space*

Dad: Thank you,Iseul...
*looks at Hwan* Hwan...

Hwan nods with a small smile.

Your dad: Anyways.
Shouldn't we be searching this
room?*smile*

Hwan lets out a hearty laugh.

Hwan: Yes! Let's go,team Hawk!

Your dad and Iseul look at him.

Dad: Team Hawk?

Hwan nods proudly.

Iseul: That's what he got called in the past and still does.
It's because of his observation skills.
He likes hawks.
Not only that.
His name and the word hawk both have four letters.
People say he has four eyes.
Two at the front.

Hwan: And two at the back*does a stylish spin pointing at the back of his head*

Your dad chuckles and smiles and Iseul rolls his eyes.

Iseul: Yes,so that's why he has dubbed our team "team hawk".

Dad: Well I think it's a good name.

Hwan spins back around grinning.

Hwan: I know.
It'll sure lead us to victory.
Just like the hawk snatches up its prey we'll snatch up the clue.
Hopefully multiple clues!

Your dad nods.

Hwan: Now let's get searching.

The three of them fan out in the room and search.
Hwan presses his ear on things.
Iseul looks inside the books.
Your dad walks around the room looking around.

Dad: Where could it be...
Where could it be...

He continues walking.

Dad: Where could it-

*Hallow sound*

Your dad stops in his tracks.
He looks down at where his left foot is on.

Dad: Mhm...

Iseual and Hwan stop searching and look at your dad as he's looking at the floorboard focused.
They approach.

Iseul: Found something?

Dad: I think so...
Just listen.

He lifts up his foot and stomps on the floorboard.
A hallow sound gets emitted from it.
Iseul and Hwan look surprised.

Hwan: It sounds hallow.

Your dad nods.

Dad: That means this part of the floor isn't closed underneath.

Iseul: Yah...
We need to open it.

Dad: Yah,but how?

The three of deep think and Hwan's eyes widen.

Hwan: I know!

Iseul: What?

Hwan: Wait here!

Iseul is about to reply but Hwan is already out the door.
The two of them patiently wait as they look at the floorboard.
After a few seconds they hear the sound of running and Hwan runs in.
His tie hanging over the back of his shoulder.
He walks over and brings his hands from behind his back.
Your dad and Iseul's eyes widen.

Hwan: A really thin metal ruler with the end diagonally bent.
I think this will do don't you think?

Iseul and your dad smile.

Iseul: Good job,sir*ruffles his hair*

Hwan: Gah!*jumps back*
Don't ruin my hair!>:(
*rushing to fix it as he's holding the metal ruler between his upper arm and side as your dad and Iseul laugh*
There.
*swoops his hair back*
Have to make sure I look good when we win.

Your dad and Iseul continue to laugh.

Hwan: *taking the ruler from between his side and upper arm*
Anyways.
*gets down on one knee and looks at your dad and Iseul*
Let's see what's in here.
A dead end or a clue.

He pushes the bent end of the ruler in between the crack of the floorboard and another floorboard.
He pulls.

Hwan: Gah! I think I need a bit of help over here!!!!!
*pulling but the floorboard doesn't want to budge*

Your dad and Iseul walk around Hwan as he continues pulling.
He stops pulling and Iseul squats behind him and puts his arms around Hwan and your dad squats behind Iseuland puts his arms around him.

Dad: On the count of three!
One!

Iseul: Two!

Hwan: Three!

They all pull and pull.

Hwan: More!!!!! Keep going!!!! We're almost there!!!!!!

They yell and pull.

Hwan: Yah!!!!!!!!

Iseul!: Ah!!!!!!

Dad: AH!!!!!!

They all fall backwards as they manage to get the floorboard to open.
The metal ruler flies out of Hwan's hands.
In the hall Namjoon's walking deep in thought.
He hears a loud noise of something hitting the door next to him.
He looks down and his eyes widen.
Guess what happened.
The ruler got stuck on the door next to him and missed his clothed dick just by a mere inch.
Yep.
He almost got badly injured.
Namjoon gulps and holds his breath as he realizes what could've happened if he had walked faster.
He looks to his left looking into room where your dad,Iseul and Chief Hwan are laying on each other and the floor still.
They all see him upside down as they're laying on their backs.
They all silently stare at each other.
All of them knowing what just happened.

Speaker: Uh...is anyone gonna say anything?

All their ears perk up as Yejoon speaks over the speaker.

Speaker: That was seriously a close one.
That really would hurt a lot.
Glad it didn't happen though.

Namjoon doesn't say anything as he looks back at the ruler that's still stuck in the door.
He slowly takes a step back from the ruler.

Speaker: Also don't worry about the door.
It's an easy fix.
But something would've been a really difficult fix if it had happened.
Luckily it didn't.
I don't wish that on any dude.

Jungkook: 🎶Dy-na-na-na, na-na, na-na,eh🎵
🎶Dy-na-na-na, na-na, na-na,eh🎵

All of them hear Jungkook.
Jungkook rounds the corner into the hall where Namjoon's standing.
Jungkook's humming and singing with his eyes closed.
He opens his eyes and stops as he sees Namjoon and stops next to him.
Something catches his attention out of the corner of his left eye.
He looks and see your dad,Iseul and Hwan still laying across each other and on the floor looking at him and Namjoon.

Jungkook: Hiii^^*waves adorably*
What are you guys doing?
Did you guys find anything-
*wide eyes looking down*
Why's there a metal ruler in the door?

He reaches out his right index finger and puts his finger on it.
He lightly pulls it.
It goes back and forth a bit obviously and Namjoon steps away from it.
Completely understandable;_;

Hwan: Uh...

Him,your dad and Iseul get up and dust themselves off.

Hwan: Sorry,Namjoon😅

Namjoon: *in shock at what happened and how it could've went but manages to hide it*
It's fine*shaking his head and crossing his arms*

Jungkook: *tilts his head curious and confused*

Speaker: I'll enlighten you,Jungkook.

Jungkook looks into the room and sees the speaker.

Speaker: What happened was the three of them were trying to open the floorboard but didn't know how.
Mr Hwan-

Hwan: Hwan.

Speaker: Hwan ran into another room and got the ruler you see that's now in that door.

Jungkook: *glances at the ruler that's stuck in the door*

Speaker: Hwan put the bent end in between the floorboards and tried opening the floorboard but couldn't so Mr Yeong and Mr Jaehyun helped.
They managed to get the floorboard open.
The reason it didn't want to open is because we glued it shut.

Hwan: What?!

Speaker: We have to make it a bit difficult.
Using the metal ruler would've made getting the floorboard open too easy.

Hwan: Huh. Well I do like a challenge and I beat it so*visibly proud*

Iseul: *shaking his head*

Speaker: Anyways.
They got it open and fell but Hwan accidentally let the ruler slip out of his hands and Namjoon was walking in the hall.
Didn't seem like he was paying attention.
Anyways the ruler narrowly missed hurting him seriously.

Jungkook blinks.

Jungkook: Hurt how?

All of them are silent.

Namjoon: Yejoon,Jungkook's very innocent so you can't really beat around the bush.
You need to be direct.

Speaker: Oh...okay then.
*awkwardly clearing his throat*
Okay so Namjoon's private part almost got impaled by the ruler.
But luckily Namjoon was walking too slow for that to happen.
It missed him by just an inch.

Jungkook's eyes widen.

Jungkook: Are you okay,Namjoon hyung?!?!?!

Namjoon: Yah...
I'm fine...

Jungkook: *relieved but still concerned*

Namjoon: I'm really fine.
*looking at the ruler and making sure to stay away from it*

Speaker: Anyways.
Yejoon over and out!!!!!

All of them look at each other silently.
Hwan's eyes widen.

Hwan: The floorboard!

All of them look at him.
He immediately turns around looking at the floorboard.
Iseul and your dad look at it too.
Namjoon and Jungkook enter the room.

Hwan: I guess we should check it?

They all nod.

Hwan: I hope that there's actually something inside and that it wasn't just some wild goose chase.

He kneels and takes a hold of the smooth floorboard with both hands.
He lifts it up and moves it to the left.
All of them peek inside and see a folded piece of paper.
Hwan reaches inside and picks it up.

Hwan: Please be a clue...please be a clue...please-*opens the paper*
It's a clue!!!!*hearty laugh*

Jungkook cheers and jumps around.

Jungkook: A clueeeeeeee!!!!!^^

Hwan: It's the letter E.

Namjoon: Great job,Hwan,Iseul.

He looks at your dad.

Namjoon: Jaehyun.

He lowers his head a bit.
Your dad doesn't say anything as he has no expression.
Hwan and Iseul glance at each other nervously.
After a few seconds your dad smiles and nods.
Namjoon lifts his head and Hwan claps his hands.
Mostly to help the atmosphere feel lighter.

Hwan: Well we're one more letter closer to success.

Namjoon nods.

Dad: That's great.
Anyways.
I'm gonna go for a walk,okay?

Hwan and Iseul nod understanding that your dad's still feeling a bit down and worried for you.
Your dad walks out.
Namjoon clears his throat.

Namjoon: Well I should go and check on the others.

He nods to Hwan and Iseul before heading out.
Jungkook looks at them.

Jungkook: Me too!
See you two later^^
*rushing out the room*

Hwan: I think Jaehyun is gonna need a lot of patience and also I think we can both agree that aside from not liking Jimin he doesn't really like Namjoon,right?*crossing his arms and saying it while looking at the door*

Iseul: Yah and yah. He will need a lot of patience.
We'll try our best to help.

Hwan nods.

Hwan: I could really go for coffee and donuts after this whole escape room thing.

Iseul looks and sees he's looking at him through the corner of his eye.

Iseul: ...
....................
*exasperated sigh*
Fine.
Just one donut.

Hwan: *child like smile*
Deal!

-In one of the halls-

Jungkook's skipping around and humming.

*Sound of books falling*

Yoongi: Oops.

Jungkook looks at the door that's next to him.
The door that the sound and voice came from.
He opens the door and peeks inside.
He sees Yoongi kneeling down to gather all the books and pages.
He walks in a bit opening the door more.

Jungkook: Yoongi hyung? O.o

Yoongi turns his head and sees him.
He smiles.

Yoongi: Hey,Kook*smile*
What are you doing here?
Aren't you supposed to be helping Stella?

Jungkook nods and walks in more.

Jungkook: Yes,but earlier we didn't find anything.
I told Miss Stella I'd check on everyone and she continued searching.
I haven't seen her since then.

Yoongi: Oh.

He says picking up a few books as his arms are now full of them.

Jungkook: *looking around the room*
Where's Jimin hyung?
You and Jimin hyung got put in a team.
Where is he?

Yoongi: Oh well*putting the books back one by one*
Just like you I guess he left earlier to check on everyone.
We were searching and after a bit when I looked around he was gone.

Jungkook: Oh.
I guess he and Miss Stella are probably together then.

Yoongi: Probably.
*continues packing the books away*

Jungkook: *approaches and starts helping*

Yoongi: Thanks,Kook.

Jungkook: No problem,Yoongi hyung^^

They finish putting everything away.

Yoongi: Anyways.
I haven't found a clue yet.

Jungkook: Me neither.
Want to find one together?^^

Yoongi smiles.

Yoongi: Sure.

Jungkook smiles brightly and the two of them start searching.
They search all over the place and don't see anything.
Yoongi sighs.
Jungkook looks at him.

Jungkook: Don't worry,Yoong hyung.
We'll find something.
When I was with Miss Stella earlier and we didn't find anything she said we shouldn't give up just yet.
So let's not give up,okay?

Yoongi smiles.

Yoongi: Yah,she's right*gummy smile and chin dimple*

Jungkook: Of course!
*jumps around facing him*
Miss Stella is really smart afterall!!!^^

Yoongi chuckles.

Yoongi: Yah,she is*small smile*
Let's do it.

Jungkook pumps his fists and they continue to search.
Just then as Yoongi's looking at the shelves and books he spots something.
He looks closer and sees a book at the back that's hidden.
He reaches in and takes it out.
He sees it's a nature book.
Specifically about butterflies.
On the cover there's a picture of a beautiful blue butterfly.
Yoongi smiles as thoughts of you swirl within his mind.
So much that he doesn't hear Jungkook that's been calling him 2 times already.

Jungkook: Yoongi hyung?

Yoongi doesn't hear as he continues to think or should I just bluntly state that he's daydreaming XD.
Jungkook tilts his head and walks up behind him.

Jungkook: Yoongi hyung-*places his hand on his shoulder*

Yoongi's russet brown eyes widen and he jumps as he gets ripped out of his thoughts of you and back into the reality that is he should be searching for clues.
He looks at Jungkook with big eyes and Jungkook does the same.

Jungkook: Sorry,Yoongi hyung.
I didn't mean to scare you.
I was calling you but you didn't hear me.

Yoongi: Oh...it's fine...

His ears turn a bit pink.

Yoongi: Anyways.
What is it?
Did you find something?

Jungkook shakes his head.

Jungkook: Nope.
But I thought maybe you did because you looked like you were concentrating real hard and on something really important.
Finding the clue I'm sure.

Yoongi: *feels his ears heating up more*

Jungkook: So did you find something,Yoongi hyung?

Yoongi: Uh...well...
I'm not sure to be honest*looking at the book he's holding*

Jungkook looks and tilts his head.

Jungkook: A book on butterflies?

Yoongi nods.

Jungkook: It reminds me of Miss Stella.
She loves the blue butterflies especially.

Yoongi: Y...yah...

Jungkook: Let's look inside.

Yoongi: Of course.

He walks over to the table that has a vase with dead flowers that have clearly been dipped in some solution to preserve them.
He places the book down on it as Jungkook's standing next to him.

Yoongi: *hands are slightly shaking as he opens the book*
...
..................
It's...
Blank...

He leafs through all the pages.

Yoongi: All the pages are blank.

Jungkook: That's confusing.
Did the person of the book forget to make this one have words in it.

Yoongi: I don't know...

Jungkook turns around and he accidentally knocks the case over.
Dark liquid spills over the table and the book.
Yoongi and Jungkook's eyes widen.

Jungkook: Oh no! I ruined the book*feeling super bad and covering his eyes*

Yoongi shakes his head.

Yoongi: No...no you didn't...

Jungkook: *takes his hands off*

Jungkook's eyes widen as the dark liquid settles on the pages of the book.
Words become visible.

Jungkook: Wow...
The person didn't forget to write words but they didn't write a lot.

Yoongi nods.

Yoongi: Let's read it.

Jungkook nods looking.
Yoongi clears his throat.

Yoongi: "I flap my wings and slowly wither a way day by day.
But the gentle giant decided to not let my beauty wither.
To instead preserve it.
To cherish it.
To show others the beauty of live that lives on even after death of one's soul.
At 12 I flapped my wings.
At 12 my wings slowly gave out.
I laid waiting and was met with the gentle giant that scooped me up with such gentleness as I was falling apart and would continue to do so.
Beauty after death is beauty nevertheless.".
Wow...
It's a beautiful poem.

Jungkook: It is...
But what should we do with it?
Is it going to help us find the clue or not?

Yoongi: Mhm...
*reading the poem over and over trying to think*
*eyes widen*
I think I get it.

He looks at the flowers.

Yoongi: Yes...

He lets go of the book.

Yoongi: The butterfly got cherished and saved even after its death.

He says looking at Jungkook and looks at the flowers.

Yoongi: Same goes for these flowers.
They were withering away as they were cut and someone decided to preserve them and stop them from withering even more.

I know what to do.

He gently takes the flowers.

Yoongi: Let's go.

Jungkook follows him to another room.

The two of them stop infront of five statues.
They have heads and some of their bodies stop by their waists.

Yoongi: We need to give the correct rose to the correct statue.
This red rose...
It's for love.

He heads to the statue of a woman with a bow and arrow.
It's clearly a statue of a female cupid.
He puts the red rose in between her lips.
He steps back.

Yoongi: The yellow one.
It's for light.

He heads to the statue of a sun goddess.
He puts the rose in her hand.

Yoongi: The white one is for purity.

He walks to a statue of a baby that's laughing in a basket.
He puts the rose in between the statue baby's clasped hands.

Yoongi: The lavender one...

He looks at the statue of a woman who's clearly inlove and the other part of the statue is a man with his back to her seemingly unaware of her.

Yoongi: Love at first sight...

He walks to it and then stands infront of the male part of the statue.
He puts the rose in the man's one hand.

Yoongi: And the last one...
The burgandy rose...

He looks at the statue of a woman that's sleeping.

Yoongi: Unconscious beauty...

He walks over to it sees her hands are clasped as well.
He puts the rose in.

Just then one eye of the statue of the sleeping woman opens.
Yoongi's eyes widen and Jungkook jumps behind Yoongi feeling scared.

Yoongi: What's that?

Yoongi peers in and sees something inside the open eye.
He reaches in and takes out a small marble.

Yoongi: A marble?

He looks at the statue of the sun goddess and realizes there's a hole in the front of her crown.
He walks over with Jungkook still behind him as he's still freaked out about what the other statue did.
He puts the marble in and the statue's mouth opens.
Out falls a paper.
Yoongi bends down and picks it up.
He opens it and smiles.

Yoongi: We found the clue.

Jungkook: We did?

Yoongi nods as Jungkook looks over his shoulder.

Yoongi: We got the letter G.

Jungkook smiles widely.

Jungkook: We did it!!!!!!
My Yoongi hyung is super smart!

Yoongi chuckles as Jungkook hugs him laughing.

Yoongi: Yah,we did.
I can't take all the credit.
A while back Jimin was talking about flowers and told me a bit about the symbolism so.
Anyways what do you want to do now?

Jungkook: Can we relax for a minute?

Yoongi: Sure.

Jungkook smiles and sits on one of the chairs.
Yoongi looks at the book that's covered in the black liquid.

Yoongi: I wonder how Stella's doing...

-In the passageway with Hansol and Hoseok-

Hansol and Hoseok have been walking around for a few minutes...
Hoseok's leading as Hansol's behind him.
Both of them stop walking.
All they find are empty halls.
The walk has been silent...neither of them saying anything.
Hoseok looks at the floor for a second before turning and looking over his right shoulder at Hansol who's looking at nothing in particular.

Hoseok: Hansol?

Hansol comes back to reality as his warm,soft gaze meets Hoseok's grey eyed gaze.

Hansol: Yah?

Hoseok: I just wanted to say I----

There's a noise and Hoseok gets interrupted as Hansol averts his gaze and speaks up.

Hansol: What was that?

Hoseok: I'm not sure...let's go check it out...

Hansol looks at him.

Hansol: Uhm*scared*

Hoseok: It's fine...come on...let's go...

-Somewhere in the passageway-

Jin's frowning deeply.

Jin: Nice going,spiderlegs!!!!!!
Because of you walking too fast...I fell and now look at my jeans!!!!!

Taehyung smiles widely.

Taehyung: Not my fault,cockroach face.
You decided to be petty and not look or talk to me and hence you tried not looking at all and so you fell and now you have some dust on your jeans.
Just dust them off and they'll be good as new.

Jin: Just dust them off?!?!?!
Do you have any idea what these are?!?!?!

Taehyung: Yes...
It's an article of clothing that most if not all people wear and love wearing...
It's also known as "jeans".
It can be dyed and comes in many different shapes and sizes------

Jin: It's a limit addition jean made by the famous Madam Genevieve Dupont!
These jeans are not only fashionable but they're also comfortable!!!!!
And you just ruined them!!!!

Taehyung: Clothing is bound to get dirty...
If it was so precious to you maybe you shouldn't have decided to wear it.
And by the way...
Aren't you supposed to be ignoring my existence?:)

Jin: *glare*

Taehyung: Also you need to work on your name calling:)

-Somewhere in the passageway with Jen and Jiho-

Jen and Jiho are standing still.
Jiho is standing a bit away behind her and watching her as she's looking around silently as if she has no idea where to go.
She sighs and puts her hand on her forehead a tired and confused expression creeping up.

Jiho: Jen...I think you can just go ahead and say it now...

She takes her band off her forehead and her expression turns neutral but she doesn't turn to look at Jiho.

Jiho: We are completely and utterly lost...

At that she turns and looks at him making her short,loose hair sway.

Jiho: It's fine to admit it...

She turns completely to face him.
She frowns deeply placing her hand on her hip.

Jen: Lost?!

Jiho's eyes widen and he parts his lips.

Jen: We're not lost,okay?!
I'm just thinking which way we should go!!!! We're not lost!!!!
This place is like a maze so I have to think first!
I repeat-----
We.are.not.lost!!!!!
Understand?!?!?!

Jiho: *nod*

She turns her back to him as he catches a hint of her frown disappearing instantly and getting replaced by a smile.

Jen: Great! Now let's venture further!

Jiho: And there again she immediately switched from serious and angry to happy.

Jen: We only have 22 minutes-----

She stops talking and her smile fades.

Jiho: What was that?

He asks as they both heard a noise.

Jen: It was probably nothing so don't worry about it...

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

Unknown: AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
HELP!!!!!!!!

Jen's eyes widen and she jumps a bit in her spot.

Jen: Someone needs help!!!!! We should go check!!!!!

Jiho: No!!!! Jen!!!! Wait----

*Running sound*

Jiho: And she left...guess I should follow her...
*gulp*It's too dark in here...

He quick runs getting the heebie jeebies.
Soon he finds her and stops behind her.
She has a surprised expression and he gets one too as he looks at what she's looking at.

Jen: Oh...

Jiho: My...

Jin: My ear!!!!!! Owwwwwwwwww!!!!!!

Hoseok's tightly holding Jin's ear as he's wearing a serious expression and Jin looks panicked to say the least.

Jin: Owwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!

Jiho: Uh...what's happening?

Taehyung: Hoseok is teaching Jin a lesson for almost scaring him.

He says with a small smile.

Hansol: Hey,sis*dimple and smiling*

He says standing behind Taehyung.

Jen: Hey,Hansy:)
Have you and Hoseok found any clues yet?

Hansol: Yep!
We got the letter A on the whole page inside a book.
And then we found this passageway.

Taehyung: Me and Jin found the letter R when he turned a velve and the whole room filled with steam and so the letter was on a mirror.

Jen: That's great! Jiho and I found the letter T!

She says happily and Jiho is still wearing his surprised expression behind her at the scene that's unfolding infront of him.

Jen: Honestly it was all thanks to Jiho...
He found the paper and remembered the riddle officer Yeong couldn't figure out.
So Jiho used his smart brain.
His IQ of 300 to be more specific and used the lamp.
He turned it on and let the light of it shine on the blank page and it made the letter T visible on the page.

She says visibly proud as Jiho sheepishly looks down at the floor from his spot behind her.

Taehyung: That was pretty smart.

Jin: Is anyone going to help me?!?!?!

Taehyung: Hoseok,I think you can let him go now...

Hoseok: Fine...

Hoseok lets go.

Jin: My poor beautiful
ear!!!!!!*dramatically sad expression*
It hurts so much!!!!!!!

Almost instantly his expression shifts to annoyance looking at Taehyung.

Jin: Don't think just because you helped that I will speak to you,okay?!
I'm still angry with you!

Jen: Why's he angry at you?

Taehyung: He's still upset about what I did with his diet coca cola and what I said about his cologne.
In other words as usual...he's being dramatic.

Jin: I'm not being dramatic!!!!!!
You called me annoying and said that talking to me is a waste of time!!!!!!

Taehyung: Yes,I did say that.
Yes,you do annoy me and at that time it was a waste of time talking to you because you refused to talk to me while I asked for your help to search for clues...

Jin: Whatever!!!!! I'll continue ignoring you!!!!!

Taehyung: Sure...go right ahead.

Hoseok: Anyways...it's good all of us found this place...
We only have 18 minutes left and I'm sure if we work together then we'll find the exit.
So everyone...let's split up and look for clues.
We'll meet back here and shout if you found the exit.
Not if you dirty your pants or something*side eyeing Jin for a second*

Jin: *huffs but remains silent*

All of them nod and split up and look for the exit.

Jin: Guys!!!! I think we found it!!!!!

All of them follow Jin's voice.

Jin: This is the exit that Yejoon guy was talking about,right?!

He asks looking at the double doors as the hallway looks like it came from a hospital.

Hoseok: It is!!!!! Good job,Jin:)

Jin: *basking in the praise*

Hoseok: All we have to do now is bring the others here,figure out the correct order of all the letters and put in the password.

Jin: I'll go get everyone!!!! I'll take the way Taehyung and I came since it's the closest.
I'll be back soon!!!!

-Back to you-

...

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

Jimin: Stella...

...

You feel a light touch on your hand.

Jimin: Stella...wake up...it's time to get up...

And then you feel someone's hand caressing your cheek and hair.
You slowly open your eyes and see a smiling face.

It's Jimin...

I see Jimin kneeling next to me as he traces gently circles on my hand and plays with my hair.

Stella: Jimin,what*yawn*

A yawn interrupts me...I put my hand over my mouth.

Jimin: Good morning,sleeping beauty...
I hope you slept well...

Stella: I did...but where---

Memories rush through my mind.

Stella: Shit!!!!!!

You jump up from the couch as Jimin gets up and continues smiling.

Stella: We're still in the escape room!!!!! I fell asleep!!!! OMG!!!!!

Jimin: Stella----

Stella: We still haven't even found the exit yet!!!!!
The others have been searching while I was sleeping!!!!!!

Jimin: Stella----

Stella: We're going to lose because of me---
Ah!

You yelp as Jimin grabs you around your waist still smiling.

He's so close!!!!!!!!!!!T_T

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

Jimin: I couldn't think of anything else that would make you calm down so...
But I believe that...
This is actually doing the opposite,right?

You gulp.

Stella: Jimin...we...don't you remember what happened earlier.

Jimin: I do...
Don't worry...
I'm not gonna do anything...
Not right here or right now at least...*whisper*
But...once we get home...

He takes a loose strand of your hair...
Twirling it around his finger as he looks at you...
A huge smile on his face.

Jimin: Once we get home...I can't make any promises...*mischievous smile*

He slowly lets go of you.

Jimin: Now...we only have 17 minutes left...so---

Jin: Jimin!!!! Stella!!!!!

You both look to see Jin as he rushes in.

Jin: We have found the exit!!!!!

Stella: Really?!?! O.o

Jin: Yep!!!! Taehyung and I went through a tunnel in the wall...
And we bumped into the others.
It seems this place has many passageways...
Anyways!!!! Time is running out and I'm here to gather everyone to meet in the tunnel so we can figure out the correct order of the letters and then we'll be able to unlock the doors and get out!!!!!
So follow me so I can go get the others!!!!
*basically rapping with how fast he's talking*

Jin rushes out of the room to call the others and without thinking twice you run after him to help.
Jimin sighs.

Jimin: Every bloody time someone has to interrupt...

Jimin smiles.

Jimin: But it's fine...I'll get her later...

-In the hallway where the exit is-

All of you stand infront of the exit doors.

Namjoon: So this is really the exit door?

Stella: I think it is...
Yejoon did say that we'll see double doors in what looks like a hospital corridor...and this is exactly what it looks like...

Namjoon: Okay then...
Everyone,give me the letters you got...
We have to put our heads together.

Jungkook looks at him puzzled.

Namjoon: Not literally...of course...
I mean that we need to try and figure out together in what order the letters should be placed and typed into the keypad to unlock the doors.
Now give me the letters and let's try to figure it out...

He looks at the digital clock as the time continues to get less and less.

Namjoon: We only have 10 minutes left.

He says tearing his gaze away from the clock.
Everyone hands over the letters to Namjoon...
Some tell him since they don't have it written down.
Namjoon scratches his chin deep in thought.

Namjoon: One M,T,G,E,H...
And two As and Rs...
The keypad has only 5 spaces...and we have 9 letters.
Mhm...what could it be...

Jimin: I have an idea...

Namjoon and you all look at him as he smiles.

Jimin: Let's just try every letter and every combination of them...
We'll eventually get it right.

Speaker: This is Yejoon speaking!

Jimin's smile fades and you all listen as Yejoon speaks over the speaker.

Speaker: Do not!!!! I repeat do not!!!!! Do what he just suggested!!!!!!
My boss told me to include this when explaining the rules but I forgot...
You only get 5 chances to put in the correct password...
If you get it wrong each time then the keypad will short circuit...
So please don't do it.
Also you guys need to hurry up! Time is running out! Eight minutes remain!
Yejoon over and out!!!!!

Jimin looks at you all.

Jimin: There goes my idea out the window...

Hoseok: It was never even in the window in the first place:)

Jimin rolls his eyes and all of you think hard and try out what you all think might work.
You guys have used 3 of your chances and have failed to type in the correct password...but you all have managed to put two letters in the right spaces: T□□□A
Jimin smiles.

Jimin: I think I know!:)

Jimin types in what he thinks is the password.
The spaces where he input the letters flash red and then dissappear.
Hoseok sighs rolling his eyes as he places his hand on his forehead.

Hoseok: And now we only have one chance left...

Speaker: Also only 2 minutes remain!!!!!!!

Jimin frowns.

Jimin: Well!!!!!! At least I tried! You haven't even given suggested of what the password could be>:(

Hoseok: Well I'm not going to be the reason that we lose because I gave a wrong suggestion of what the password could be:)

Speaker: One minute!!!! Come on,guys!!!!! You're so close!!!!!!

Namjoon: Everyone...we have to think and stop talking unnecessarily...
We're wasting time!

Speaker: Fifty seconds!!!!!!

Namjoon: Does anyone have any idea of what the password could be?!?!

Jiho: I think we're going to lose...

Jimin: You're really not helping,potterhead!!!!!!!

Jiho looks at him.

Jiho: I know,but I'll still state my opinion...
Plus the chance that we'll actually put in the right password is so small...
Smaller than your hands.

Taehyung snickers and Hoseok smiles.
Jimin's eyes widen and his frowns deeply.

Jimin: What did you just say?!

Speaker: Thirty five seconds!!!!!!

Everyone: ......................

Jungkook's expression turns serious.

Jungkook: Namjoon hyung...everyone...

You all turn to Kook.

Jungkook: I think I know the correct password.

Stella: Really?!?! Then go ahead and type it in!!!!!!

Jungkook: But...what if I'm wrong? Then we'll lose...

Stella: Then at least we can honestly say we had fun eventhough we lost.
Life isn't all about winning.
Sometimes losing is necessary.

Jungkook smiles at your words.

Stella: Now go and type it in...
Even if we lose...it'll be fine...

Speaker: Twenty seconds!!!!!!

Jungkook quickly types it in: Terra.
The letters flash green...but there's one problem...
Jimin frowns deeply.

Speaker: Fifteen seconds!!!!!

Jimin: The door isn't opening!!!!!! Why isn't it opening?!?!?!

You look at the keypad and realize...

Speaker: Six seconds!!!!!!!!

Stella: Kook forgot to press the "Enter" button!!!!!!!!

Jimin's eyes widen and before anyone can react you press the button and the doors fly open.
All of you burst out...well...
YOU ARE LAYING ON JIMIN AND HIS EYES ARE CLOSED!!!!!!! HEHEHEHEHEHEHE!!!!!:)

Authornim!!!!! Are you trying to kill me?!?!?!

Nope!!!!! I just like teasing people!!!!!!:)
Now go back to focusing on Jimin's handsome face!:)

T_T

Jimin opens his eyes and smirks.

Jimin: Well...hello there*smirk*

Stella: *blush*

Namjoon: Ahem.

Jimin's smirk dissappears and you two look to see Namjoon's standing next to the two of you...
Looking at you both on the floor:)

Namjoon: Are you okay?

Stella: Y...yah...I'm fine---

Namjoon reaches out his one fingerless gloved hand to you.
In your peripheral vision you see Jimin glaring at Namjoon while Jen has a BIG smile on her face as she raises her eyebrows...
Silently questioning what you'll do.

Sorry,Jimin;_;

You grab a hold of Namjoon's hand and he pulls you up.
You feel a light tingle as his hand holds yours.
He lets go immediately as Jimin gets up...
Feeling the others watching.

Stella: Thanks:)

Namjoon: *nod*

You look around the place and see people walking around and playing various games.

Stella: We're in an arcade?

Yejoon: That's correct:)

You guys turn to see Yejoon as he's smiling brightly.

Yejoon: The exit leads into the arcade behind the escape room:)
As promised here are your phones,purses and the prize since you guys won.

All of you take your things back as Yejoon hands you the bag with the prize in.
You take the bag and see 14 black T-shirts.
You take one out and see the name of the escape room place with all its information on.
Like the logo and so on on the front of the shirt and at the back it has the picture of a fire breathing dragon and a phoenix fighting.
Everyone takes a shirt.

Stella: Wow!!!! It looks so cool!!!!!!

Yejoon: Hahahahaha!!!!! Yes!!!!! Pretty sick,right?!
I told my boss people would love my idea of the dragon and phoenix on the back.
Also! If you look deeper into the bag you'll see a few tickets you all can use in this arcade.

Stella: This is so cool!!!!!

Jen smiles widely.

Jen: Yah,it is!!!!!!!
Thank you,Yejoon!

Stella: Yah,thanks!!!!! It was really a fun experience!:)

And then Jungkook lunges at Yejoon and hugs him.
Yejoon's eyes and mouth are wide open.

Yejoon: Uh...

Jungkook: You're very nice!!!!! Thank you,Mr.Yejoon^^

Hoseok: Aish,Kook!!!!!
You really need to stop hugging random people out of the blue*facepalm*

Yejoon smiles and hugs Jungkook back.

Yejoon: It's fine. Unexpected but fine.
Also you don't mention it,little dude:)
And please call me Yejoon...I'm not old...
I'm somewhere around your age I believe.

How wrong you are;_;

You're definitely closer in age with me,Jen,Jiho,Hansol,my dad,Officer Yeong and Chief Hwan than with Jungkook and the others.

Jungkook: Okay then!!!! I'll call you Yejoon hyung^^

Yejoon continues to smile as he and Jungkook break the hug.

Yejoon: Also,Namjoon?

Namjoon looks at him.

Namjoon: Yes?

Yejoon: Are you okay after what happened?
I'm sure you were a bit freaked out.

You look at Namjoon and so does everyone else.
You start overthinking that maybe your dad did something.

Can you blame me?!

I mean how awkward he's looking right now!!!!

You look at Yejoon.

Stella: What happened?

Yejoon: Well----

Jungkook: Namjoon hyung's private part almost got chopped off.

Your eyes widen and you almost choke on your spit.
Namjoon doesn't look at you guys as you all look at him and Jungkook continues talking.

Jungkook: *explaining what happened*
So that's what happened!
Luckily Namjoon hyung is okay though!!!^^

Jimin: I think what happened happened for a reason. Showing that Namjoon should know his place with Stella.

Your face feels completely warm.

Taehyung: Kook,shh.
You shouldn't just have told us.
What if Namjoon didn't want us to know.
I mean it's a big thing that happened and an even bigger thing could've happened.

Jungkook: Right.
I didn't think of that.
I only answered because Miss Stella asked.

You blush.

Jungkook: Sorry,Namjoon hyung.

Namjoon shakes his head avoiding eye contact.

Namjoon: It's fine.
Just forget about it.

Yejoon: Well...I have to go and work before my boss comes back!
Dave is probably snoring at the desk again*chuckle*
Adios amigos!!!!!

Yejoon walks out of the arcade.
You look at Namjoon.

Stella: Well...I guess all of us will play some games?
We do have many tickets and we are here so...

Jungkook: Miss Stella is right!!!!!!
We can't just leave without playing a bit!!!!
*Jungkook effect activated*
Namjoon hyung*in tiny*

Everyone: *might die*

Jungkook: May we all play a few games...just for a few minutes...please?
I promise it won't take long...
I'll do whatever you tell me if you say yes...

Namjoon crosses his arms with a blank expression.

Namjoon: Kook...you already do as you're told...
...
But I did say that everyone could say what they want to do and we'll do it...so...

Jungkook's eyes widen.

Jungkook: So you're saying yes,Namjoon hyung? O.o

Namjoon: Yes...don't look so surprised...
Today is all about fun and relaxation.

Jimin: Pffff...

Jungkook hugs Namjoon.

Jungkook: Thank you!!!!! Thank you!!!!! Namjoon hyung!!!!!! You're the
best!!!!!!^^

Namjoon: *trying super hard not to smile*
*loses miserably*

He hugs Jungkook back.
His one arm around Jungkook's back and his other arm's hand is carefully holding the back of Jungkook's head.

Namjoon: It's fine...go ahead and take as long as you want,okay?

Goddddddddddddd...

Did Namjoon just turn soft?!?!?!?! T□T

It's so freaking cute that I want to strangle a stuffed animal...

...Okay...maybe I should just calm down;_;

But this sight...it's just so...I don't even know what to say T_T

Jungkook: Okay!!!!^^

All of you spend your time in the arcade playing various games...
After an hour of playing you all feel a bit tired and decide to go somewhere else.

Jungkook: Wait!!!!!!!

All of you stop and look at Jungkook standing wide eyed.

Jungkook: Is that really it?!?!?!? It's really here?!?!?!

Before any of you can say anything...
He runs and you all try to run after him.

Jimin: Damn...what has you so excited?

Jungkook looks up still wide eyed.

Jungkook: I can't believe it...
It's really...

You look up and see that big banner with the words "Virtual reality".

Stella: Wow!!!! It looks so cool!!!!!

Jungkook: *excited noises*

Sales lady: Good morning,sir...

Jungkook looks at her with his big eyes.

Sales lady: Do you want to try it out?
It just got imported from overseas.
You and your friends could be the first ones to try it:)
There are four goggles...
What do you say?

Jungkook: I've always wanted to try it out!!!!!!
*practically drooling while looking at everything*
Namjoon hyung...

Namjoon: Yes...you can try it out...

Jungkook: Thank you!!!!!!
But...
I want you,Miss Stella and Jimin hyung to play with me...

Jimin doesn't reply as he looks at you and Namjoon with a blank expression plastered on his face.
You and Namjoon don't reply either and Jungkook turns to look at Namjoon.

Jungkook: Please*puppy eyes*
I'll enjoy it more if you all play with...

Jimin: I don't think Namjoon wants to...but that's fine...
Me,you and Stella will play instead.

Namjoon: I'll play.

Jimin frowns at his words.

Jungkook: Great!!!!!!
Jimin hyung and I will be on one team.
And Miss Stella will be with Namjoon hyung:)

Wow...unexpectedly my wish came true.

I didn't get to be teamed up with Namjoon earlier but now it's happening.

You see Jimin frowning and Namjoon with his usual blank stare.
The sales lady motions you 3 to follow her into the room that's next to where you guys are all standing.
You 4 silently walk toward the goggles as Jungkook smiles widely.

The woman helps you all put on the virtual reality goggles and puts other things on your arms and so on to help with the experience.
She hands you a knife,Namjoon a gun,Jungkook a bow and Jimin a riffle...
Of course they're not real weapons.
I mean you guys don't wanna accidentally hurt each other.
She gets everything ready.
She exits the room and closes the door behind her.
She walks to the big console that's infront of a big window looking into the room you guys are currently in.
The others are standing around her.

Sales lady: The simulation will now start...are you all ready?

Jen: You can do it,Stella!!!! H & M!!!!!! Remember!:)

You nearly drop the knife as you hear Jen whisper yell.
You all nod to the lady.

Jimin: Bring it on!

The woman presses a few buttons.
The screens of your goggles get filled with a bunch of numbers.
Obviously the coding of the game.
Then they dissappear.

-Inside the game-

You guys find yourselves in the game.
You guys realize all your clothes are different than what they were.
Your clothes look a bit dirty and completely different.
They look like something you'd see people wearing in a movie that revolves around the end of the world.
Jungkook has a surprised expression.
Namjoon has a blank expression as expected and his arms are crossed.
Jimin also has a blank expression and you have a smile on your face.
Your eyes widen as you look around at the new setting you guys have found yourselves in.

Stella: Oh my gosh...

You see the place is completely destroyed and indeed looks like something out of a movie about the end of the world.
Buildings are burning and falling apart and everything.
You look at the guys.
Going from right to left aka from Jimin,to Namjoon and to Jungkook.
Your eyes go back to Namjoon.

Stella: You guys look so cool!!!!!! This is amazing!!!!!!

Jimin cracks a flirty smile.

Jimin: Not as amazing as you:)

He looks you up and down still smiling.

Jimin: You could honestly take that dagger and rip my heart out and I wouldn't mind:)

Stella: *blush* Shut up...

Jimin takes a step towards you.

Jimin: And what if I don't?*smirk*

In your peripheral vision you see Namjoon frowning slightly.

Stella: I-----

Boss: So this is where you 4 have been this whole time?

You guys turn to see an older guy wearing a construction uniform that's a bit worn out.

Boss: I know it's the end of the world but that's still no excuse to stand around.

You,Jimin,Jungkook and Namjoon hear your earpieces that the lady gave earlier crackling a bit.
Obviously in the game none of the gear except for the weapons that she gave is visible.

Your guys's earpieces: This setting is the apocalypse and his name is Boss.

The sales lady says through your earpieces and the man just stands still with his blank expression.
Not saying anything.

Your guys's earpieces: You guys can say whatever you want to the characters but they won't react...
Everything is scripted and your mission is to save at least 5 of the 10 people...
And also to protect yourselves...
If you guys fail then it's game over.
Your friends and I can see everything in the game on the console's screen.

Jen talking through the sales lady's earpiece mic: Yes! We can! You all look hot! And I'm sure you'll do amazing.

You guys hear the sales lady jump at how loudly Jen's talking.

Hansol in the background: Jen. Are you trying to give the poor woman a heart attack?

Jen: Sorry! I'm just so excited!!!!!:p

You suppress a chuckle.

Your guys's earpieces: Anyways.
All the things I put on your arms,legs and so on will help you all actually feel what's happening on the game.
Remember all of this is just a game and not real...
If any or all of you feel like the game is getting too intense then you can back out no problem. Have fun!

She stops talking and Jimin walks up to the man who's obviously a character in the game and not a real person.
Jimin smiles.

Jimin: So that means we can do whatever we want and the characters won't react like if I flick his forehead...
He won't do anything?

Your guys's earpieces: Exactly. The game isn't that developed yet that the characters have different responses to everything. The characters do have different responses but not to everything yet...
The game is still a work in progress.
We hope to improve on a lot of things in this game...
One day it'll hopefully be so good that players can say or do anything within reason of course and the characters will respond in an appropriate way.

Jimin: That's super cool...

Jimin makes peace signs with his hands on his head and opens and closes his fingers like two bunny ears repeatedly as he leans his upper body left to right repeatedly.

Jimin: Hellooooooo...
Anyone home?

Boss: There are many things to be done...
We have a meeting to attend! You're all already late!!!!!!!

Jimin: Despite the game characters not having different responses for everything that happens...
I think this game is still pretty cool.

Stella: I agree:)

Jimin walks back to you still smiling.

Boss: Come...the others are waiting.

Boss walks away.
Jimin smiles holding his left arm bent against his chest as he does a small bow.

Jimin: After you,m'lady:)

You laugh as the four of you follow Boss.
The four of you enter a room and see 8 people sitting around a table.
The room looks like it's been through some shit which is obviously cause the game is about the apocalypse.
Boss is standing at the head of the table.
He stands up straighter placing his hands behind his back and stands with his legs at shoulders width apart.

Boss: It's been 6 weeks since the outbreak and the world changed...
Since the outbreak...
Everyone's lives have changed...
Zombies kill...
Roaming the silent streets in search of their next meal...
That will be us if we don't do anything and everything to stop them.
As we all know...
The zombies will become more powerful as the remaining month goes by...then we should be ready to fight.
Anything can happen so we need to be careful.
Anyways...I see that there's one of us missing...
Where is he?

Young woman: He's on the tower...trying to get a signal.

Young man: Yes! He's still not giving up on getting a signal...
I told him that he will just be wasting his time and make himself more accessible to the zombies by doing that...
Towers are down...no electricity...what does he expect to happen?

A loud explosion rings out.

Boss: Did all of you hear that?

Guy: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! HELP ME!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

Boss's expression turns into a shocked one.

Boss: That's him!!!!!! Everyone!!!! Gather your weapons!!!!!!!!
That explosion was pretty loud...
Loud enough to attract the zombies...
We have to gather everything so we can go and get away right now!!!!!!!

All of the characters move out to gather as much of their stuff as they can.

Young woman: Hi!!!!!!!!!! My name is Hannah!!!!!!:)

The young woman that spoke earlier approaches as she stands infront of you.
She's wearing a big smile.
She has greenish brown eyes and blonde hair.
You think about how she looks like that Stephanie girl except for the hair,eye color,height as she's shorter and her voice is different as well.
For anyone who's forgot who Stephanie is.
She's the woman that tried flirting with Jimin and then Namjoon in the park.
You try and push down the annoyance that's bubbling up inside of you as you smile telling yourself that this is just a character in the game you guys are in.

Stella: Oh!!!!!! Hi-----
Ah!

Hannah practically shoves you out of the way...

Yah!!!! And it hurt!!!!! Geez!!!!!! Sales lady wasn't lying about being able to feel what's going on in this game!

I turn around confused and what do I see?
I see her infront of NAMJOON as Jimin and Jungkook are standing on either side of him!!!!!!!!!!
Namjoon's looking down at her!
The girl practically shoved me out of the way to go to him!!!!!!!!

Hannah: Hey there!!!!!! My name is Hannah!!!!:)
Last night I heard Boss brought in 4 new people...
I didn't get to see you guys last night because I was asleep..
I regret going to bed so early last night!!!!!!
But at least I'm seeing you guys now!!!!!!

At this moment I'm practically invisible...

She's not even looking over her shoulder to acknowledge me.

Hannah: Since the outbreak started...I've only been surrounded by these people...
These old,ugly people!!!!!!

Young guy: Talking like me and the other young guy don't even exist*rolls his eyes and continues packing*

Hannah: You know since the outbreak I thought all the hot guys died.

Young guy: The disrespect=_=

Hannah: BUT I WAS SO WRONG!!!!!!!
Like wow!!!!!!! You three!!!!!!!
Especially you,Mr Military cut!!!!!! Look sexy!!!!!!!

Jimin: *kind of wants to barf*

Young guy: The desperation wow=_=*adjusting his glasses scoffing*

This dude isn't real but he knows what he's talking about.

Hannah: I seriously thought I would never see a hot guy ever again!
You know! Since you guys probably didn't get a tour...
I can give you three a tour!

I'm right here!!!!!=_=

Young guy: Wow...blatantly ignoring that there's a fourth person that she practically almost made fall on the floor*shuffling around with all the things*

Hannah: We'll all move to another location and then you 3 can come to my room at 8pm,okay?
We'll play so many games!!!!!:) It'll be so much fun;)

Young guy: Good lord. I'm gonna barf.

Ditto.

Hannah: What do you guys say?

Namjoon: *initiates silent mode*

Jungkook: Of course!!!!! We'll be there!!!!!*too innocent to understand*

Young guy: *shaking his head rolling his eyes*

Jimin: If there's red wine then I'm in!!!!!!!!

Hannah: Great!!!!!!

She says looking at him as she's smiling even more now.
She looks at Namjoon who's completely ignoring her.

Hannah: I'll see you guys later.
Be prepared to stay late cause it'll be that much fun what we'll do;)

She looks at Jungkook.

Hannah: Goodbye...Mr Doe Eyes.

She looks at Jimin.

Hannah: Goodbye,Mr Sexy smile.

She turns her attention to Namjoon and reaches out her hand.
She places it on his right forearm as his arms are still crossed and he's not looking at her still.

Stella: *fuming with jealousy*

Hannah: Goodbye,Mr Military cut;)

She walks past you.
A big smirk on her face.
You walk towards the guys.
They look at you.

Stella: Well...that was something...*trying my best to smile*

Do I sense some jealousy?:)

Of course not!!!!!! Why would I be jealous of her?!?!?!?!

She looks like a toddler standing next to them and most of all-----

SHE'S NOT REAL!!!!!!!!!!!

Stella: *feeling happier at the fact*

Yah...
But the jealousy you're feeling right now sure is:)

...

Boss: Okay,everyone...
Let's get a move on! We have to help Jake and get away from this place asap.
Are you all ready?!?!?!?!

Everyone: Sir!!!! Yes,sir!!!!!!

Hannah smiles.

Hannah: As long as 3 specific hotties come along then I'm more than ready.
*winks at Namjoon*

Namjoon looks from her to you in an instant.

Ahhhhhhh!!!!!!!! He's looking at me!!!!!!!!

I can feel my face getting
warm!!!!!!!! T_T

Hannah tosses Namjoon a magazine for his gun.
He catches it.
All of you hear Boss clearing his throat and you guys focus your attention on him.

Boss: Okay!!!!!!! Since everyone's ready...let's go!!!!!!!

Young man: Possibly to our death*mumble*

Good thing you're not real then.

The characters walk away while you stand there...a blushing mess XD
Namjoon looks at you.
He takes you in from head to toe.

Jimin: *glare*

Jungkook: *completely oblivious and looking around the place*

Namjoon looks down and takes out his gun(obviously not real).
He takes the magazine and puts it in the gun.

Dang...

Namjoon+gun=HOT!!!!!!!!!!!

Yep:)

Namjoon looks at you.

Namjoon: Okay...let's go...

You nod and the four of you head the way the characters went.
All of you exit the destroyed barely standing building.
Everything is burning around you all.

Guy: Help!!!!!!! Ahh!!!!!!!! Help me!!!!!! Please!!!!!!! I don't want to die!!!!!!!!!!

You all look up and see a man hanging onto a lamp post.
The lamp post starts creaking...sounding like it'll give out any second now...

Boss: Jake!!!!!!! Jake!!!!!!!!!

Jake looks down.

Jake: Boss!!!!!!!!!
The tower...I don't know what happened...it just exploded...
I jumped and caught onto this lamp post!!!!!!!!!
*gulp*

The lamp post creaks even more...

Jake: But...t...it sounds like it'll give out soon...
This lamp post is pretty tall...if it gives out...*shudder*

You all then hear moaning and groaning noises...
Jake looks and panicks even more.
It's even visible with his shades on.

Jake: Oh no...oh no...no...no...no...

He looks at you guys.

Jake: The zombies are coming!!!!!!!!

Young man: We are definitely going to die;_;

Hannah: Oh shut it,Josh.

Young man: *rolls his eyes*

Boss: Jake!!!!!!! Listen to me very carefully!!!!!!!
Those zombies are looking for food and we'll be on the menu soon.
You have to let go of the pole right now!

Jake: I can't do that!!!!! I'll die!!!!!!!!!!
Or worse!!!!!!! I'll get badly injured and then become zombie food!!!!!!!!!
Either way...I'll die painfully!!!!!!!!! I can't die!!!!!!!!!!! I'm too
young!!!!!!!!*near tears*

You feel pity for the man eventhough you know it's just a game.

Stella: Hey!!!!!!!! Jake!!!!!!!!

He looks at you.

Stella: I know it's scary but you have to trust us!!!!!!!!!

Jake: Who are you?! Why should I listen?!

Stella: We came here yesterday...
Boss found out.
Either way you have to let go...
The zombies are gonna be here soon.
You have to trust us! Letting go has risks...
Not letting go and waiting for the pole to snap has risks...
You have to take it.

Jimin: She's right!!!!!!!! You have to let go!!!!!!!!! I'll catch you!!!!!!!!!!

Jake: You're gonna catch me letting go of a pole that's over 10 freaking feet tall?!?!?!?!
How am I supposed to believe that?!?!?!
What if you don't catch me?!?!?!?!

Jimin: Then I owe you a beer:)

Jake: I'll let go*gulp*

Jimin positions himself under the lamp pole to catch Jake.

Jake: Here goes nothing...
Or we'll probably my life...

He lets go.

Jake: Ahhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He flails his arms as he falls.
Jimin catches him and Jake looks at him surprised.

Jake: I'm alive?!?!?!?!?!

He smiles widely and Jimin looks him as he's celebrating not being dead.
Completely understandable.

Jake: I AM ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jimin tears his gaze away.

Jimin: Yah...
But not for long if they have anything to say about it...

Jake looks and his smile immediately vanishes...
You all turn around...
You all see a lot of zombies...

Stella: What are we going to do
now?!*whisper yell*

Young man: God!!!!!! We're all gonna die!!!!!!!*whisper yell*

Hannah: I'll make sure you die if you say that one more fucking
time,Josh!*whisper yell*

Jimin: Yah,shut up,glasses!!!!!*whisper yell*

He looks at all the zombies.

Jimin: I say we attack right
now!!!!!!!*whisper yell*
Not giving them a chance to retaliate*whisper yell*

Namjoon: That's a recipe for disaster...*whisper*

Jimin gives him a side eye.

Jimin: Oh it is?!*whisper yell*
You'd know obviously*sarcastic and whisper yell*
My plan is good but if you have a better idea please enlighten us!!!!!!!!*whisper yell*

Namjoon: I say we wait...it seems like they track their prey by movement and noise...*whisper*
So try not to move too much or make...too much noise...otherwise they will attack*whisper*

Jimin: How are you so sure it'll
work?!*whisper yell*

Stella: Zombies get depicted in different ways...*whisper*
Usually they'd attack you the second they see you...*whisper*
But these zombies...they're not looking directly at us...*whisper*
So that can only mean that they can't see us but do rely on their hearing and their prey moving too much and so on...*whisper*

Jimin: I was right...*whisper*
Not only are you beautiful but you got smarts too;)*whisper*

Stella: *blush*

Namjoon: Anyways...now you understand why waiting is the better option*whisper*

The zombies continue moaning and groaning...
Cocking their heads this and that way as you all stay as still as possible...
Trying your hardest to stay still to not alert them and potentially lose the game...
One of the zombies limps its way over to you...
It's looks to the right of your face...
Its breath smells super bad...
As it leans closer you try your hardest to resist the urge to gag or push it away...
Both of those options won't help.
After what feels like forever it backs off and walks away...
The zombies roam around you all as you all try to keep an eye on all of them in case things go south...
One of the zombies walks towards Jimin and Jake as Jimin put Jake down a while back when he spotted the zombies.
The zombie looks between Jimin and Jake and obviously can't see them.
Jimin watches it with a blank expression and Jake has a scared expression.
As the zombie looks around and moves closer to Jake...
Your heart beats faster.
Jake stands still unable to move...
And then you all hear a scream...

Man: AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

You all turn around to see one of the survivors.
An older woman has been bitten...
And that another one of the survivors.
An older man is paralyzed with fear as the zombie inches closer and closer.
The survivor cowers in fear as he tries to get through to his friend...
Huge mistake...
The zombie grabs the man and brings its mouth to his shoulder.
The man begs the zombie to let him go...but his words are cut off...
The zombie bites the man...
She bites off huge chunks of flesh from his neck and shoulder...
She tears open his throat...
Blood spraying all over the ground and other survivors...
His screams stop as he transforms before all of you...
All the other survivors start screaming because well they just saw their friend get changed into a zombie by the woman who was their friend before she became a zombie and not only that.
They got covered in the guy's blood and so their panicking is understandable.
Their screaming continues attracting the attention of the zombies...
At that moment chaos erupts...
All of you try fighting off the zombies...
You got to stab a few in the neck,chest and head with your knife...
It obviously freaked you out a bit but soon as you were defending yourself and the others you pushed the fear away and continued trying to fight off as many zombies as you possibly could..
All of you have each others backs...
But the more zombies you all kill...
The more zombies appear as the other zombies moan loudly...
Trying to signal more zombies to come...
All you can see is smoke,fire,blood,
destruction and everyone fighting as hard as possible...
But you already lost 5 survivors...
You feel tired but try to continue fighting...
As you kill another zombie you crouch down to take a breath...
You don't notice a male zombie creeping up behind you...
It pushes you down and you fall...
Your knife falling out of your hand...
It inches closer and you feel scared...
Jungkook's eyes widen as he sees what's happening.
He reaches out but he's far away.

Jungkook: MISS STELLA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jimin's eyes widen.
Namjoon shoots a zombie and it topples over.
The three of them see what's happening as you lay on the ground at the mercy of the zombie infront of you.
You shake as old blood and chunks of flesh fall from the zombie's mouth and face...
Jimin swears as he tries to reload his weapon aka the riffle but struggles...
He's too far away to help you...
Jungkook tries to help a survivor being attacked...
Namjoon is the closest to you...
He aims his gun at the back of the zombie's leg with a serious and focused expression...
He pulls the trigger but the gun doesn't fire...
He looks down at it and opens it.

Namjoon: No bullets left!!!!!!!!

He runs up behind the zombie and grabs it by the neck...
His fingers dig into its neck as it struggles to break free...
Then he proceeds to break its neck and ripping its head off...
The zombie falls over...not moving...
Namjoon throws its head to the ground and stomps on it for good measure.
He breathes heavily as you see his forehead covered in sweat.
He crouches down and extends his hand to you.
You look from his hand to his face with wide eyes.
After a few seconds of hesitation....
You grab his hand.
He pulls you up and you bump into him trying to regain your footing...
You gulp as you feel his one hand still holding yours...
His other on your waist to steady you.
He takes a deep breath as he looks at you...
Almost like he's seeing you for the first time.
His eyes scan every part of your face...
Your heart beats faster as it seems he won't let go any time soon...

Namjoon: Are you okay?

Stella: Y-yah...I didn't see...I mean...
Thanks...

He continues looking at you...
Did he even hear you thank him?
The guy is looking at you like you're a man equation or something.
Anyways...he continues looking at you as you stand still...
Not knowing what to do as you two gaze into each other's eyes...romantic,right?
Thinking like are they gonna kiss or not?
Did they forget that there are zombies that they're supposed to be killing and survivors to be protecting?

You really talk about lot,A/n=_=

Not really. But I can talk alot:)
You two continue looking at each other...
He raises an eyebrow at you.
You feel your face getting warm...mhm...
Now the question is...
Is it because a) You just fought zombies,b) Because of the fire or c) BECAUSE OF NAMJOON.
The answer is d!

There is no d!!!!!!!!!!

Yah,I know...I didn't mention it.
D is a combination of the 3 answers...
Mostly C!!!!!!!

=_=

As you two continue staring at one another...
You two fail to realize something...
The head of the zombie that Namjoon ripped off is rolling towards Namjoon...

Namjoon: Ah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The zombie head bites Namjoon's ankle and his grip increases on you.
The following things flash infront of you all:
Game over...
Teammates deceased: 1 out of 4.
Survivors deceased: 5 out of 10.
The numbers that appeared earlier flash across the screens of your virtual reality goggles.
They dissappear and the screens turn white.
Back into the real world now.
Jimin's standing with a shocked expression.
He sighs.
He slowly reaches up and takes off his goggles.
He frowns deeply as his eyes land on you and Namjoon.
Namjoon takes off his goggles with one hand.
He looks at you as you're both still standing infront of each other.

Stella: (///•//•////)

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

Jimin: *exaggerated coughing*

Both of you look at him.

Jimin: Thanks to you!!!! We lost the game!!!!!!!!

Stella: Chim...don't be angry with him...
It was my----

Jimin: No,it wasn't...
He was obviously not focusing as he should have...
*looking at Namjoon's arm around your waist*
And because of that we lost!!!!!!!! It's a simple as that!
It seems these days he doesn't focus as he used to...

Stella: Jimin...it's...it's fine...it was just a game...
Don't worry,okay?

He sighs.

Jimin: Fine...

He smiles.

Jimin: Your wish is my command:)

Namjoon lets go of your waist and takes a step back.
But eventhough he let go you can still feel his warmth where he touched and you honestly want to feel more of it.
All the times you two touched...
Even for a split second...
It made your heart beat faster...
Being near him or having any physical contact with him has always felt right.
You have always felt safe around him.
Afterall...it's clear to see that what Yoongi and Hoseok said about Namjoon is the truth.
He may be cold but he is nice...
Not in the typical sense but still...
You keep bringing all these instances in your mind where he did something good...
Showed a bit of emotion...
How he volunteered on his own to train you...
He wasn't forced...
But even with knowing all this...
You can't help but doubt why he's helping.
Is he helping because he wants to?
Because he knows you're a demon too?
What could it be? Maybe you're just overthinking...or not...
He crosses his arms.

Namjoon: You did a decent job of fighting off those zombies...
As said before...
Trust yourself,focus,don't overthink.
If you can't do one or all of those...then you'll lose for sure.

You nod...not knowing how to respond.
Your heart flutters as his words keep replaying in your mind...
Mhm...it seems Namjoon now also has a habit of staring. Just look at him XD.

Jen: Mhm!!!!!! Hahahahahaha!!!!!! Yes!!!!!!!

You guys look and see Jen as she's typing on her phone.

Jen: And-----

She stops typing as she smiles and looks at you guys.

Jen: Done!!!!!!:)

You raise an eyebrow at Jen.

Stella: Jen?

Jen: Yes?:)

Stella: Did you do something?

Jen: I don't know what you are talking about.

Stella: ...

Jen: All I did was film everything that was happening inside the game! I saved the video on my phone!
Remember! We could see everything happening on that screen.
I made sure to film everything!

Stella: O.o
Everything?

Jen: Yep! Everything! I can even send it on the group later.

I'm not gonna say anything about that...

I can literally feel my dad looking at Namjoon.

The sales lady approaches.

Sales lady: I hope you all enjoyed the experience!:)

Jungkook: Yes!!!!!!! We did!!!^^

Sales lady: That's great! The game as said before isn't complete yet!
But it's good to see that it seems we're on the right track.
Does anyone else want to give the game a try?

Everyone shakes their heads and you guys take off all the gaming gear and put them back.

Sales lady: Okay then...
I hope you all of a pleasant day.

You all wave to the sales lady as you all exit the arcade.
You all decide to chat outside the arcade a bit before deciding on what to do next.
After you're all chatting you see how Jimin,Namjoon and Yoongi are looking at you.
Jimin's smiling.
Namjoon's expression is blank as usual and he glances at you from time to time.
Yoongi's smiling and glances at you too but blushes a bit every time he
does T□T

Jen: Psst!!!!*whisper*

You look and see Jen smiling at you.

Jen: Stella,Hansy and Jiho...

You give her a questioning look.

Jen: Let's go over there...
I want to show you guys something.

You three excuse yourselves as you three follow Jen out of earshot from the others.

Jen: Okay so...
What happened?

You raise your eyebrow.

Stella: What are you talking about?

Her smile fades and she places her hand on her hip.

Stella: I'm confused...

Jen: Oh sure you are...
Just like how I'm Jack Sparrow...*imitating the famous Jack Sparrow run in her spot*

You continue acting like you don't understand.
She gestures towards Jimin.

Jen: Look,Stel...
I have eyes.
Ones that kind of look like they're black.
And with these eyes of mine...
I can clearly see something between you and Jimin has changed...
There's a different kind of energy between you two.
Almost like the air between and around you two...
Is charged...
Like the atmosphere when you two are close...
It's just different from how it used to be...
It's honestly interesting.
I don't know how else to explain it...
But something has definitely changed...
I mean...

She looks at Jimin.

Jen: Just look at how he's looking at you.

You look and see Jimin's busy talking with Jungkook but he's looking at you.
As your eyes meet he smiles.

Jen: Just look at how he's looking...*whisper*
He definitely has something on his mind...that look it's clearly different from how he used to look at you in the past.

As you glance at Jimin...
You see him grinning as he watches you.
He then gives a small,subtle wink showing his long,black lashes.
You look at the floor and say there's nothing different and that he's always like that and that she's just imagining something has changed between you and him.
You mention how she keeps trying to push you to the guys.
Jen smiles and lets out a small laugh.

Jen: If you won't answer then I'll ask him instead:)
Afterall Jimin doesn't hide how he feels towards you so he wouldn't lie if I ask him about this change between you two...
He will definitely say something has changed and maybe he'll even tell me what the change is.

She smirks and looks at Jimin.

Jen: Oh Ji-----

Just as she's about to call him over you shush her.
She stops and smiles looking at you.
You let out a sigh as you rub your temples.

Stella: Fine...I'll talk...

Jen: Really?!?!?!?!

Stella: Yah...I'll tell you guys everything...
Just don't freak out,okay?
I don't want the others to know...

Jen,Hansol and Jiho nod their heads as they wait for you to speak.
You tell them everything.
What happened on the island,what happened last night,what happened this morning,what happened just a while ago,what happened in one of the rooms of the escape room.
They look at you surprised.
After telling them everything you look away...
Feeling embarrassed.
Jen freaks out and hugs you as Hansol and Jiho just look at each other.
She hugs you tightly.

Jen: Stella!!!! Stella!!!! Stellaaaaaaa!!!!! OMG!!!!!! AHHH!!!!!!!

Stella: Can't...breathe...*faint tone*

She lets go.

Stella: Gosh...finally I can breathe again;_;

Jen: Congrats,Stel!!!!!!!!
I'm happy for you!!!!!!!!!

Stella: I don't know why you're congratulating me...
It's not like I'm getting married or something...

Jen: I know...
BUT!!!!!!! Jimin is really making moves on you now:)

Stella: No,he isn't (  '  •   •  )
You know the circumstances...
He's not himself...that's why he's acting like this...
We aren't really doing anything...
As I said to you guys right now....he knows that what we're doing...
I know this...he knows it...and now you guys too...
I know everything will just go back to how they were before his heat started...
That's it...nothing more...

Jen: I smell something...
It's denial!!!!!!!!!!!
You are in denial!!!!!!!

Stella: No,I'm not...

Jen: Yes,you are:)

Stella: Think whatever you want...I know I'm not in denial...

Are you sure about that?:)

Yes,I am!!!!!!!! Don't worry me question myself.

I'm not doing anything:)

=_=

Jen: Fine...you can choose to think you're not in denial but I know you are:)

Stella: Whatever*sigh*
Oh!!!!!!!!! I have some news!:)
As you guys know...yesterday was my first day training.
Well yesterday on the island while taking a break...
Jimin and I were talking...

Jen's about to open her mouth but you beat her to it.

Stella: It was before the incident happened on the island.

Jen chuckles.

Stella: Hoseok was standing against a tree...I looked over and saw him smiling a lot while on his phone...
And not only that!!!!!!!!
This morning I saw he was texting Hansol and he was smiling again.

You look at Hansol who has a surprised expression.
Like you just grew horns on your head.
Well you do have horns but they're obviously not out right now.

Stella: And his smile kept growing:)

Hansol looks down putting his hands behind his back leaning on his hip.

Stella: It seems like Hansol is the reason for Hoseok acting a bit different these days;)
Making him smile and everything.

Jen: *laugh*

She looks from him to you.
