During the ride Jungkook kept fiddling with his fingers as he kept cursing his manager in his mind for his improper dress up while Jimin thought about why his friend was still being wierd. The third male who was supposed to focus on the road was highly distracted by the scent of the certain person sitting in the car. Although it was a simple one with light lemon-ish tingle, it was his favorite type of scent making him take a whiff every now and then like an addict. Hoseok would wonder if he got noticed and look at the other two in the mirror but wouldn't see any change in either's body language each time.

"So, Hoseok?"

When the brunette showed no sign of life, the raven head turned his attention towards his manager who he knew would not disappoint him in regards to a conversation since the silence in the car was becoming suffocating. He did however notice the sudden stiffness in the older's form as soon as his name was called even though his voice held nothing suspicious when he replied.

"Yes, Jimin-ssi?"

In an instant life was blown in the brunette and he spoke but the tone was very new for his manager.

"JAEMIN-SSI!"

Hoseok stared in the front view mirror at the reflection of his boss with raised eye brows while Jimin dropped his head in his hand as he laughed uncontrollably.

It seemed as if the pinkette was forgotten in an instant as Jungkook kept repeating his words heaving his chest for extra effect and using a deeper voice than normal making his friend laugh to the point of hyperventilation. The black haired male clutched his belly as he stayed bent and kept laughing for a long time. Hoseok feeling bitter about it scowled slightly and before he could think his action through he stopped the car on the road side and looked back feighing very believable concern.

"Jimin-ssi, are you all right?"

The two younger males didn't note the weirdness in his action nor did they realize that he did that just to get Jimin's attention which he was more than happy for when his plan worked. Although Jimin did have another fit of laughter but this time it was because the older had called him 'Jimin-ssi' even after the whole episode just now.

"I'm okay, Hoseok. Don't worry."

He replied between small chuckles and received a nod in response after which the ride was continued. Although nothing much was said between the two models after that but the mood was evidently much lighter than before.

The distance wasn't much as they reached their destination in a short while after which Hosoek stepped out to open the door for the other two. After the models were on their way to go inside the restaurant the pink haired male turned to sit back in the car but stopped his hand that was about to open the car door when he felt a tap on his shoulder and turned to find Jimin standing very close to him which immediately sent his heart beat on a race track even though his face showed nothing.

"Yes, Jimin-s- uh."

The raven head chuckled slightly at the gentleman.

"Why don't you just call me Jimin? I told you before as well, didn't I?"

Hosoek pressed his lips as he stayed quiet. He would rather call him what he always calls him because he respects him unlike some immature idiot who uses the same word of respect to tease him.

Shaking his head the shorter male spoke when he received no response.

"How about you join us? We have to ask him something anyway plus this is just a friendly dinner."

The idea seemed new and different to the older since he had never been in this situation before because his boss was way too conceited that he always ran away from going out on dinners and lunches with anyone even if it was for his own benefit let alone taking his manager along with him. Hosoek usually handled such situations alone. The pinkette stood still thinking about how to answer the offer while working on all the possible situations that could arise since the brunette would most definitely hate it. Before he could make up an excuse and stay away, Jimin put his arm around his shoulder with a little jump and pushed him towards the entrance without a word.

Once Jungkook looked back to see what was taking his friend so long he saw a confused manager of his being dragged along with a short black haired male that looked very much like Jimin. The brunette face palmed very openly as he stared blankly at the approaching people.

"Why the hell would you bring him? He's got nothing to do here."

Hosoek knew well that his appearance would not be appreciated so he didn't feel disrespected at all. The youngest however was panicking although his face only showed annoyance. He couldn't talk to Jimin about a few things that he wanted cleared up if his manager was sitting there with them watching him with his hawk eyes.

"He's going to have dinner with us. Now suck it up."

Even though Hoseok wasn't very fond of the idea either but the way he saw Jimin talking to Jungkook for him made him smirk involuntarily as he stared at his boss and raised his eye brows while shurgging ever so slightly.

The brunette huffed and glared at the pinkette before turning around and going inside. Jimin removed his arm from around the older's shoulder since it was a bit uncomfortable due to the height difference and walked next to him unaware of the flares he was igniting inside the male he was walking with.

Once they were seated at the reserved table Hoseok stayed quiet and planned to stay out of the conversation unless needed. Jimin however didn't seem to think that way and initiated the topic him and the pink haired male left hanging last time.

"So Kookie, how about we clear up things first so that we both can get along well, hm?"

The youngest stiffened visibly because one, he didn't want to talk about that with his manager right there with him and two, he didn't want his manager to know that he had so many nicknames bestowed on him by the raven head.

"There's nothing to clear up. Let's order first."

Hosoek stayed still but kept an observant eye on every move and word of his boss. He was more than eager to find out about the secret of the brunette that he had been hiding for so long now.

"Oh yes there definitely is. But okay, we'll order first."

Jungkook didn't reply as he signalled for a waiter to come to their table. Once they had their orders noted, Jimin spoke again but this time more serious than before.

"Tell me Jungkook, what happened to you? What do I not know?"

The brunette sneaked a peek at his manager who was tapping on his phone and seemed unaware and uninterested in the discussion which gave him slight ease before he realized that even so he would still be be able to hear his boss whether he wanted to or not. So Jungkook looked at Jimin and jerked his neck slightly towards the pinkette and mouthed 'make him leave first' but the black haired male only shook his head. The brunette pouted and furrowed his eyebrows but Jimin only stared back sternly.

After a long time of silent eye battle Jungkook lost and hung his head in defeat with a heavy sigh.

"It's just that I thought you uh you liked m-"

Jimin cut him off right there.

"From the start, Jungkook. When we first met. Tell me everything like. Because I think you and I missed some things right from the start that lead to this."

With another glance at his still head hung manager the brunette took another breath and spoke again a little lowly hoping his words would only reach the short model.

"When we first met I didn't like you because you treated everyone like they were your kids when I thought you should treat them like they are your servants because they kind of are."

An involuntary scoff was heard from the direction of the silent male and both models turned to see him but he still kept his head down so Jungkook continued after glaring at him.

"I was kind of, uh, you can say uncomfortable maybe, when you, you know, used to do that."

This time the eldest among the three spoke up stating a fact that the brunette clearly didn't want to admit himself.

"You wanted his attention. You were jealous."

"I was NOT!"

Jimin kept his stern gaze on his friend as he fumed at his own manager knowing well that what the pinkette said was true whether the younger wanted to hear it or not.

"Please continue, Jungkook."

The brunette huffed as he jerked his neck away from the older and focused on the ravenette.

"Anyways, that was that. Oh and you uh later said that um you li- Hoseok, leave us alone for a while. I don't want to talk in front of you. Your presence is annoying me."

The sudden change of attitude made the other two blink at each other before looking at the brunette suspiciously who was looking anywhere but at them.

"He's been with you for so long, Kookie. He should know it if he's to control media reports about you. Trust me, having surrounded by rumors is the last thing you would ever want and I'm speaking from experience. He should know."

Jungkook still didn't look convinced since his manager was giving him the smug look which clearly shouted 'in your face'.

The raven head's words might have worked on the brunette but the agitation by his manager made him blurt out the next words that weren't supposed to be said this soon.

"Are you that happy that your crush is taking your side? Yeah, I know you like Jimin. I have seen you ogling at him multiple times now so that's no secret."

Hosoek's eyes went saucer wide as he froze in his spot. This was not how he wanted to express his feelings. This was not what they had gathered for. This was not why he was sitting there with the models. Jimin turned his head slowly at the pinkette who recomposed himself in an instant and tried to look as if he doesn't know what his boss was talking about.

"Hoseok, you- you have a crush on me?"

Just like that, the conversation took a huge turn and the older gulped but stayed stoic as he smiled gently.

"Please don't mind him, Jimin-ssi. He's just freaking out right now so he's speaking nonsense. Kindly don't feel offended."

Smooth like a snake. Hosoek covered his tracks but Jungkook was not going to let himself be played anymore for the day. He wanted to be out of the spotlight anyway and this was an amazing opportunity. The older had enough fun and it was his turn now so changing the topic was his first move and sticking to it was going to be the second one.

"What nonsense? Even that tra- I mean even Taehyung noticed it. You were so obvious. Just admit it."

Jimin was only staring at the two bickering males now wondering what just happened in a blink of an eye as Hoseok kept denying the accusations and Jungkook kept firing them at him, neither showing any sign of backing down.

"You just don't like it that he's your friend and he's taking my side. That's all."

"Oh shut up. We both know I'm right and you're just too much of a coward to admit it."

"I'm not you. If there was anything like that I would have stepped forward myself. There's nothing to be shy about if you like someone."

"Oh yeah? Then why do you keep checking him out whenever you see him instead of telling him he looks hot? You don't do that with anyone else."

"First of all, that's a very disgusting way to put it. And secondly, I've never 'checked him out'."

"I saw you do that on the set that day and even now when we picked him up. Don't lie to me."

When it went on for longer than twenty minutes the raven head rubbed his face in frustration before sighing since he was going to explode which he did with a fist slamming on the table.

"YAH! SHUT UP! BOTH OF YOU!"

(A/N: I couldn't find it without the caption.)

That did the trick and the two of them froze in their spots with the brunette's mouth left open which was about to fire again. Not just those two but almost everyone around them froze at the sudden outburst. After all, Jimin was the last person that looked like he would have such a thundering roar.
