Third Person's P.O.V :-

Fresh morning air was brushing against Jimin's cheeks while they rode over a bridge going across a small segment of the lagoon. The morning sunrays were merciful on Jimin's skin and it warmed him up just enough.

He sighed in content and opened his eyes only to catch the glistening water shimmering under the sun. Jimin, while having one of his cheeks pressed up against V's spine sighed in content again.

This was the most at ease he has ever been in the past five years. Something about being that close to V provided him a lot of comfort.

Jimin smiled as he tightened his hold around V's waist,"You're a really good driver, V, I haven't felt a single bump or pothole yet" He whispered sweetly as the urge to leave a loving kiss on V's spine consumed him. But he forbade himself from acting upon those instincts.

V smiled after hearing that,"I'd rather die than make my passenger princess uncomfortable" He smiled to himself and kept on paddling the cycle, being mindful to not ride over any road bumps.

"Are you calling me your princess?" Jimin asked as he giggled lightly and moved his fingers lightly to tickle the sides of V playfully.

"Ah..! Jimin! Stop! We'll fall down!" V called out while laughing and squirming on his seat a little.

Jimin chuckled to himself and stopped when he felt the cycle's pace becoming a bit wobbly,"Alright, sorry" He whispered and kept on resting his head on V's back,"I've never been called a princess, I feel flattered, thank you, V" He whispered as he started to feel warm inside.

"No way! You look like someone who's straight out of a fairy tale, how come? I don't believe you" V spoke out nonchalantly making Jimin grin harder on his back.

"Flattery will take you nowhere, mister~" Jimin said in a playful tone and caressed the sides of V's hips.

V felt the touch and smiled while biting down on his lower lip in excitement,"I don't need to go anywhere, I have you exactly where I want you~" He replied, just as playfully and increased the pace of his paddling, going up a small hill.

Both of them giggled as they rode down the slope. V started to feel overjoyed as he kept on hearing Jimin's lighthearted laughter. He was beyond happy that day.

Soon they stopped in front of the restaurant and Jimin retreated his hand before getting down from the carrier.

V put the bike stand down and got off the cycle. He locked it diligently and turned to Jimin who was waiting for him with fond eyes and a small smile.

"Shall we?" V asked as he extended his hand out for Jimin to take and the later chuckled before taking it with enthusiasm.

Seojin who had been watching the entire thing from within the restaurant turned back to Yumi with his arms crossed over his chest,"Since when is V bringing customers to us on his way back from a delivery?" He asked her.

Yumi in answer just frowned and shrugged her shoulders before she went back to making gimbaap again.

V and Jimin walked inside the restaurant and caught the sight of Seojin and Yumi looking back at them in question.

"Ah, boss" V spoke out with a nervous laugh,"Actually, this is my friend and I'm treating him today so I'll be paying for his meal" He uttered softly.

Seojin kept on looking at both of them in skepticism but slowly nodded,"I mean, as long as someone pays for the food it's all okay, I guess" He whispered and instantly wore his business smile as he offered Jimin the menu,"Please order anything you like and try to be as comfortable as possible" He uttered smoothly, his years of experience running the restaurant coming out to play.

"Ah, yes, thank you" Jimin bowed slightly and accepted the menu before he looked at V.

V stared back at him,"What?" He asked, not knowing why Jimin was still waiting around and not sitting down yet.

"Um, aren't you going to have breakfast with me? Is it just going to be me?" Jimin asked cautiously, from outside he maintained a pleasant exterior but from the inside he was faltering a bit.

V's eyes widened,"Oh um, no, I need to get back to the kitchen so you'll have to eat alone, Jimin, I'll pay for the meal so don't worry about it and enjoy your time okay?" He reassured as he gave Jimin's back two encouraging pats and walked behind the counter to enter the kitchen, passing by Seojin who was nodding his head in approval.

V looked a bit pissed off as he entered the kitchen and within minutes of that Wooshik came out of there in a hurry, as if he was shoved out.

Seojin looked at the other intern in question,"What's up with you? Why did you come out like that?" He asked, a little concerned for his employee.

"I um, we ran out of beef again! Come to the market with me for a moment" Wooshik said instead.

Seojin frowned,"Right now? There's a customer here" He protested.

"Yeah, yeah, Seojun will take care of that, you need to come with me, boss, let's go" Wooshik said in a rush and was at once dragging Seojin out of the restaurant.

Jimin who had only just settled down on a table looked at the entire fiasco as blinked at the catastrophe.

Just as Wooshik had driven off with Seojin on a scooter, V exited the kitchen again and grinned at Jimin who was now looking up at him in question.

The gears in Jimin's head started to turn as he connected the dots with each other. A big smile bloomed on Jimin's lips as he watched V coming closer to his table and pulling the chair out to sit across him.

"They really took care of the boss for you, huh? You've got some really reliable colleagues, V" Jimin said as he leaned back in his seat and stared at V with a playful smile present on his lips.

V shrugged,"He's a pain in the ass anyway, no wonder all the employees are so united against him" He uttered and chuckled,"Anyways oder something delicious, Jimin, both Seojun hyung and Yumi Noona are here today, you'll definitely love today's meal" He grinned in excitement.

Jimin smiled and leaned in to crouch over the table as he looked at the menu,"You should have something too, should I order for you too?" He asked as he glanced up a bit.

V blinked in surprise,"Me too?" He asked as if he wasn't expecting that.

Jimin nodded playfully,"You invited me, it's only natural you have something as well" He whispered and leaned back a little,"Unless you prefer spending less time with me" He teased a little.

V's eyes widened when he heard that,"No! Of course not! I love spending time with you, alright then I'll have some gimbaap" He reluctantly whispered as he felt bad for his poor bank account.

Jimin smiled and cheered softly. He later ordered a ramyeon bowl and two plates of gimbaaps, one for him and another for V.

They enjoyed their meals over small chats, mostly consisting of V asking Jimin questions about his work. They had no idea how time was gone in the blink of an eye and soon they were staring at each other while having empty plates and bowls in front of them.

V smiled at Jimin who was grinning back at him, clearly wanting to talk more but having no other excuse to keep on delaying clocking into his own office.

"Well, then, I guess, I'll see you this afternoon?" V asked out hopefully as he licked his lips, anxiously waiting for Jimin's answer.

The glee in Jimin's eyes only intensified as he stared back at V and nodded,"It'll be the first I'm being taken out while having no idea where I'm being taken, any heads up you wanna give me?" He asked as he leaned back on his seat.

V took a few moments to think but his eyes widened and he turned to Jimin,"Wear comfortable clothes, loose ones and bring along a small backpack with you if possible" He instructed carefully.

Jimin raised one of his eyebrows,"A small backpack? Do I just bring along an empty one?" He asked curiously.

V nodded vigorously,"Absolutely empty, there shouldn't be even one item inside there because it's going to be filled to the brim by the time we return" He provided and grinned childishly.

Jimin's eyes widened,"Filled to the brim? V, tell me where we'll be going already, I can hardly contain my curiosity anymore!" He whined as he leaned forward and rested his forehead on the table, as if bowing before V in the hopes of being answered.

V laughed at the gesture and shook his head playfully in denial,"A secret escapade must remain a secret!" He uttered and gave a toothy grin.

Jimin leaned back from his bowing position and kept on staring at V with a hardly contained smile as if he was playfully scowling at V. He crossed his arms over his chest,"Really?" He asked while he stared at V.

V chuckled and started to collect all the empty plates and bowls,"Yes~ Really~~" He said in a singsong manner and stood up to take the dirty dishes back in the kitchen.

Jimin watched him go and sighed. Leaning back on his seat Jimin shook his head in disbelief and decided to text his Yoongi hyung inquiring if Jihoon had woken up yet.

After a few minutes, V returned from the kitchen and looked down at Jimin who was talking to a colleague over the phone, explaining the task they needed to handle before he clocked into work.

Jimin saw V standing by him and turned his attention back to his call,"Alright, I'll be right over, don't let him leave until I get there" He whispered and swiftly hung up the phone before he smiled up at V,"We meet again" He whispered playfully.

V chuckled at the duality of Jimin who went from being serious to being playful in a second and leaned over Jimin,"You sounded like you need to hurry, may I offer you a ride?" He asked with a smile.

Jimin's eyes widened as he heard that,"Are you serious? That'll be a life saver!" He said, perhaps a little too relieved.

V leaned back,"Come on!" He encouraged and decided to walk towards the exit of the restaurant and Jimin quickly took his office bag and rushed along behind him.

The ride to Jimin's office was a pleasant one as V memorised just exactly where the office was and how long it should take from the office to their restaurant.

The cycle came to a stop right before the office as Jimin got off from the carrier and looked down at his watch,"10 minutes early, I couldn't be more grateful" Jimin whispered as he chuckled at V.

V smiled,"If you're ever stuck again just call me, I'll come pick you up" He whispered and winked at Jimin playfully.

Jimin just shook his head at that,"Alright, then I'll be going in, bye, V" He uttered and turned to leave but V's next few words stopped him.

"Aww? You're off just like that? No 'love you's or goodbye kisses? What a bad passenger~" V playfully whined and started to turn his cycle to the other direction but as soon as set his foot up on the paddle to bike away he felt Jimin engulf him in a bear hug.

V was visibly shaken by the gesture as he stared ahead at the road with wide eyes,"Ji-Jimin...?!" He called out unable to process it or his head to look up.

Jimin buried his face in the mop of raven hair and inhaled deeply,"Thank you for the ride, V" He whispered sincerely and slowly let go of the astonished intern as he stepped back while grinning,"I hope that was enough, have a great day at work, bye!" He chirped while playfully biting his lips and rushed inside the office which graciously opened it's automatic sensory doors to welcome the hurrying individual in.

V kept on staring at the empty place where he last saw Jimin even after the door closed and finally blinked, as if broken out of a daze. He looked down in glee and smiled to himself before a large idiotic grin took its rightful place over his lips and he paddled forward to go back to his stupid restaurant.
________________________________

A car dropped Jimin off in front of Casa Lole that mid afternoon.

Jimin swiftly stepped down elegantly and quickly thanked the elderly driver of the company vehicle. He bowed to the man and turned to see V lounging on his cycle as he leaned on the huge metal gates of the guest house.

A playful smile was slowly becoming more and more prominent on the raven haired intern's face as Jimin approached closer.

"Someone's early" Jimin uttered with a smile as he stopped right in front of V's cycle.

V looked at Jimin in amusement,"What can I say? I could hardly wait for our adventure to start~" He grinned and leaned forward on the cycle's handle as he stared up at the silver head.

"Now are you going to open the gate or am I supposed to get lost in your eyes?" He teased playfully as Jimin burst out laughing gleefully at the comment.

"I mean.." Jimin uttered as he was still letting out a few residual chuckles,"Feel free to get lost in them but I must warn you, they don't work properly, I have myopia" He uttered with a smile as he pulled out the house keys to unlock the door.

V quirked an eyebrow,"You're nearsighted? Can't see the objects that are far away?" He uttered as he got down from the cycle and walked it till he was standing behind Jimin,"How bad is it? Do you have to wear thick glasses?" He inquired, getting curious.

"Yeah, I have so many glasses back at home but wearing them is a hassle so I wear contacts most of the time" Jimin answered as he pushed open the door and gestured for V to walk in with his cycle.

V looked at Jimin's beautiful face and gulped a little as he imagined how handsome Jimin would look with a pair of glasses resting over his strong nose bridge.

He wondered if Jimin kissed him with glasses on whether he'd pause for a moment to get the glasses out of the way before returning back to the kiss.

Blood rushed up to the intern's cheeks as he imagined the scene.

Jimin blinked,"V? Are you coming in?" He asked, jerking V out of his daze.

"Ye-yeah" V said as he smiled sheepishly to hide the intense thought he just had and slowly walked his cycle in and parked it neatly in the roofed open garage.

"Sorry about your office though, for me and my abrupt adventure plans you had to take a leave after half a day" V softly apologized as he came up to walk side by side with Jimin.

"Don't worry about it, besides they can't hold it against me, I might have taken a leave after half a day but I did the entire day's work in that time" Jimin uttered smugly,"Besides, you took a leave from your strict boss as well, I guess both of us put in efforts" He grinned and winked at V playfully.

V smiled shyly,"I hope you'll enjoy our outing today" He mumbled as Jimin unlocked the door of his guest villa.

"Oh, I'm bound to, my friend is taking me out after all" Jimin said with a smile and swung the door open, holding it wide open and inviting V in.

V looked around the nicely decorated place and walked into the luxurious lounge area,"Wow, this place is awesome..!" He exclaimed in wonder and bewilderment.

Jimin smiled at V's childlike innocence and closed the door behind him and lazily strolled in while keeping his eyes strained over V's back.

He crossed his arms over his chest and leaned against a pillar as he looked at V's astonished face,"Make yourself at home, I'll take a shower and come back quickly, we can leave right away after that" He uttered softly.

V's eyes instantly darted towards Jimin as mischief entered into his eyes,"Not going to invite me in for the shower?" He teased playfully as he smirked and wiggled his eyebrows.

Jimin burst out laughing as he covered his mouth with the back of his hand and doubled over at the hilarity.

"No~" He chirped as he straightened up and looked at V with mirth shining in his eyes,"My bathroom is small, it only has space for one person to stand, sorry~" He answered in a teasing voice and looked at the intern with knowing eyes.

"Aww, no fun~" V whined playfully and stepped towards the plush couch to plop down,"Alright I'll be here, hurry back" He said as he laid down on his side and grabbed a couch pillow to put it under his head, settling in comfortably and pulling out his phone to scroll through social media.

Jimin looked at the intern's sprawled out figure on his couch and couldn't stop his eyes from wandering all over. He took in every one of V's curves and contours, his eyes zeroing down onto that single part of his stomach peeping out from underneath the shirt which had rode up.

Somehow that little sneak peak of V's skin was maddening to Jimin. He started to wonder how the things would have turned out had he accepted V's offer to take a shower together.

Just the thought of caging V in the corner of his spacious shower while having their wet naked bodies pressed up closely together was making all of Jimin's blood rush downwards.

He wondered how V would react after feeling Jimin's erection pressing up against his inner thighs. Would he blush? Would he be elated? Would he tell Jimin he wanted it just as much as Jimin did?

Would he arch his back out for Jimin to do as he pleased? Would he make the same euphoric sounds that he was making last night over the phone? Would he be submissive or be an active participant?

Jimin started to wonder how V would look like sitting on his knees in front of him, slowly taking all of him inside his mouth. His pink tinted lips would look gorgeous wrapped around Jimin's length.

Jimin's eyes trailed up to V's lips which was captured between the intern's teeth while the later was busy doing something on his phone.

Jimin started to feel jealous. He wanted to be the one to hold V's lower lip hostage between his teeth.

Jimin stood there frozen like a statue as he observed V's teeth letting go of the lower lip and the pink tip of a tongue emerging out of those kissable lips to just wet the lips before those gorgeous lips turned towards him and uttered his name.

Jimin blinked, as if broken out of his daze.

"Jimin?" V called out again as he looked at Jimin,"Aren't you going?" He asked innocently.

"Ye-Yes, of course, I'll be right back" Jimin uttered, feeling out of breath as he reluctantly tore his gaze away and forced himself to head upstairs before he ended up doing something that he might regret later on, like taking V right there on that couch.

V heard the footsteps disappear from his hearing range and slowly lowered the phone down on his stomach as he blushed profusely.

Jimin was checking him out.
___________________________________

"About time you emerged, your majesty" V sighed out as he watched Jimin stepping down the stairs while grinning sheepishly.

Jimin was wearing a loose white shirt and some baggy shorts whilst he had a sling bag wrapped around his torso.

"Sorry, sorry" Jimin giggled as he finally descended down the stairs,"My skin care routine takes a while" He said as he playfully brushed his hair back,"It's fragile~" He said with attitude.

Both V and Jimin burst out laughing within two seconds.

"Alright, my fragile princess, shall we be off on our adventure now?" V chuckled as he grabbed Jimin by both of his shoulders and turned him around towards the door and started to gently push him towards the exit.

Jimin giggled as he was ushered towards the door,"Careful, I'm fragile~" He called out playfully.

"Okay, my princess, as you wish" V sighed as he suddenly lifted Jimin up in his arm whilst Jimin squeaked at the sudden movement.

Jimin looked up at V in shock at the sudden outcome whilst V just cheekily grinned down at him,"Now you won't be hurt right? No more problems right?" He teased and chuckled as he took long and excited strides towards the door.

Jimin felt a soft smile blooming on his lips as he wrapped his arms around V's neck and rested his head against V's chest and hummed,"Nope, no more problems" He whispered as he started to feel a little giddy.

V gently put Jimin down in front of his entrance door to let him lock it as he hurried down the porch stairs to grab his cycle from the garage.

He reeled it out and sat over it as he waited for Jimin right by the stairs and drummed his fingers on the handle of his bicycle.

"Done~" Jimin declared in a cheerful voice as he skipped down the stairs and walked towards V with excitement shining in his eyes.

V smiled and patted the carriage behind,"Take your rightful throne, your highness" He said playfully as Jimin laughed.

"We're still on that mediaeval roleplay?" Jimin asked as he shook his head in amusement but regardless took the offered seat on V's cycle, settling down comfortably.

"Why? I thought you liked being called 'your highness', you smile so widely every time I call you that" V drawled in amusement as he started to pedal his cycle, making the vehicle move forward.

Jimin just smiled as he watched V's back muscles flexing as he rode the cycle before silently leaning forward to wrap his arms around V's waist and resting his head on V's back, his left cheek pressed up against V's spine.

"Perhaps, I do like being called that.." He whispered as he watched the scenery pass them by, a sort of peaceful expression settling within him,"But only when you call me that" He added and sighed in contentment.

V was, once again, glad that Jimin couldn't see his face because his face was as red as a tomato as he urged all of his mushy and lovestruck braincells to focus on the road and not run someone over in his love haze.
____________________________

"We're taking the train?" Jimin questioned as he looked up at the railway station in front of them while V parked the cycle in the parking garage and locked it securely.

"Yep" V grinned as he twirled the cycle keys on his intex finger and walked forward only to teasingly glance back at Jimin to give him a playful look,"Why? Afraid? Don't worry, I won't kidnap you" He said while grinning,"Yet~" He added and laughed as he stepped towards the ticket booth to grab two local train tickets.

Unknowingly Jimin found himself smiling sheepishly at the antiques of V. He found their casual banter to be heartwarming as he shook his head at all the giddy feelings he was feeling and followed after V to see the ticketing procedure, here in Bacalar, sticking close to the intern in the ticketing booth.

The elderly lady at the booth greeted V with nostalgic familiarity while V grinned back, choosing to speak in fluent Spanish that Jimin failed to decipher but the accent didn't fail to make his ears tingle slightly.

V's tone whilst speaking in another language was light and airy whereas when he spoke in Korean it was deep and warm. Jimin preferred both tones if he was being honest.

V soon leaned back to wave the local train tickets in front of Jimin's amused face and walked towards the platform, his steps having a slight skip to them, making Jimin grin harder.

"Leaving behind your guest? What a bad host you are~" He called out playfully as he trailed closely behind V, his eyes didn't fail to roam down Taehyung's figure to examine how his hips swayed while the intern walked.

It was a charming gait that Jimin just couldn't get over. Just the simple act of V walking over to someone would have been seductive enough, the brunette didn't even need to try and put in efforts.

Jimin vaguely started to wonder if that was truly the case then why was V not surrounded by admirers or...was he walking like that on purpose because he knew Jimin was right behind him, watching his every move?

A spark of electricity ran down Jimin's spine at the idea. His eyes glinting with mirth at the observation.

V glanced back at Jimin as he stood in front of the compartment door and smirked,"I refuse to believe that Mr. Businessman, who has been all over the world, can't find his way to the train platform from the ticketing booth" He replied smugly as he stared Jimin down.

Jimin couldn't help but chuckle and raised his arms in surrender,"Guilty as charged" He admitted while smiling in amusement.

V returned the smile and gestured for Jimin to follow him inside as he quickly climbed up the two metal stairs of the compartment and took a seat by the window.

Jimin climbed in after him, in a more leisure way, a smile tugging on the corners of his lips as he entered the compartment and walked up to V to sit beside him. Their sides pressed up against each other in the process.

"I always get happy whenever I travel in Subways, it reminds me of my school days" V whispered as he slightly drummed his fingers on the headrest of the seat before them.

"You used to travel by train?" Jimin asked, pleasantly surprised by the revelation,"That must have been nice but it might have taken a toll on your health right?" He added in, his concern.

V shook his head with enthusiasm,"I had a lot of energy as a kid plus I love seeing the beautiful sceneries run past me, it was always a treat to watch" He smiled sheepishly, talking about his childhood endearment.

Jimin couldn't help but smile,"And what about now? Not gonna look at the beautiful scenery? You're looking at me, go on, turn around and look outside the window" He teased.

"Let the train start~" V chimed as he playfully poked Jimin's side with his elbow,"Once it starts, I wouldn't be looking at you at all, and then you'll starve for my one glance" He teased playfully making both of themselves chuckle.

Jimin shook his head in amusement,"You're impossible" He mumbled under his breath.

"Besides.." V began as he rested his forehead against the back of the headrest of the seat before them as he slightly turned his face to the side to look at Jimin,"This scenery is beautiful as well" He whispered in a warm soft voice making Jimin stomach do summersaults.

"What scenery?" Jimin asked in a low tone as he couldn't help but rest the side of his head on the back of the headrest before them as well, feeling the sudden need to be closer to V.

V felt his cheeks burning up slightly as Jimin leaned closer to him, they were so close, their lips only a few centimetres away from each other, it'd only take a dip and he could taste Jimin beautiful plump pillowy lips that have been spurring on his carnal desires up until now, tormenting his mind by not letting him think about anything else.

And that smell.

That fresh tangy smell of the orange, immediately followed by the soothing floral scent making V feel like he was standing in the middle of an orange farm, was intoxicating.

Even though he was wearing that same cologne himself to somewhat control his urges, the close proximity between them was making V feel dizzy with desire.

V's pupils shook slightly as he looked into Jimin's dark hooded eyes, his low voice sending tingles down his spine as he eyes slowly dropped down to Jimin's lips.

He gulped, his Adam's apple bobbing visibly before he sprung up to lean back on his seat,"Th-The scenery from the platform!" He said in a forced voice as he tried his best to laugh it off.

Jimin was looking up at him in amusement from his crouched position against the back of the headrest,"Is that so?" He asked, mirth filling up his eyes as he sat up properly,"I see, that's what it is" He whispered, his eyes still strained on V.

"O-Of course, what else can I ever mean?" V put on his obnoxious grin to hide his inner turmoil whilst he earnestly urged his heart to calm down within his ribcage.

Jimin smirked to himself and looked ahead, giving a slight nod of acknowledgement,"No, it seems very reasonable to call this scenery beautiful" He whispered as he glanced at V to see the intern looking away from his, keeping his eyes on the window, trying his hardest to hide his red cheeks.

But it was no use hiding, Jimin already knew the effect he was having on the poor brunette.

"If you must know" Jimin found himself whispered before he could stop himself,"I find the scenery beautiful as well" He whispered making V's breath hitch.

V turned towards Jimin in an instant, his cheeks flaming red,"Ye-yes?!" He asked, visibly shaken to the core, it made Jimin let out a big chuckle as he was no longer able to hold it in anymore.

"Yes~" He said while smirking,"I'm talking about the platform scenery of course" He whispered in a teasing tone,"Why? Did you think I was talking about something else?" He asked playfully.

"N-No?? Wh-Why would I think you were talking about something else? Haha!" V babbled, his cheeks turning redder by the second as he turned away to stare out of the window again to control his breath,"The scenery is beautiful! You're right! Of course!" He said, trying to stir the conversation into something that would be safer for his rapidly beating heart.

Jimin smiled as he observed V's side profile and leaned back into his seat while humming,"It is beautiful, indeed, of course" He echoed the words knowingly.

Both of them knew it was not about the scenery at all yet both were unable to be brave enough to confront the situation.
