Chapter 41- New Deal

You enter your apartment with slow steps and search around for any signs of the two boys that decided to enter your's and Eun-bi's apartment with either of your permission. 

Now, as you enter you can see that the hallway is empty of people, so is the living room. 

As you decide to head to the bathroom and then check your bedroom, you hear Yoongi's voice coming from the kitchen. 

Bingo

You think and change your path to head to the kitchen. 

"What are you doing here? I thought I locked the door," You say the exact moment you pass through the door frame. 

They both are sitting at the table, Jimin's back facing you and Yoongi sitting opposite of him. 

The two boys become startled and Yoongi nearly chokes on his own saliva when he sees you enter with a hard expression on your face. 

Jimin freezes at the sound of your voice and the spoon he was holding stays put in his mouth. He slowly turns his head to see you standing there, arms crossed on your chest awaiting for an explanation. 

Once again his appearance makes you want to erupt into a fit of giggles, not in a hostile manner that would mean making fun of him, no, making fun of people is not something you do, only when you are trying to be sarcastic but still, you're only joking when you do that, and only with friends who know your true intentions, which aren't to ridicule someone. 

Jimin's face indeed looks funny, the guyliner is smudged around his eyes that get wider as they take your picture in them. Also the way the spoon is hanging from his mouth is funny as his facial muscles are flexing and creating dimples and other sorts on his cheeks. 

That is a cute picture, you might say. 

However, the bruise over his eye, the white eyeballs that are stained with those red strings all over them, and his pale face you feel bad for him because you remember why he got those. 

The red eyes and the pale face came from the unending drinking of last night and all those events that left an impact on him and are going to have a sequel. 

Now that bruise over his eye?
Well, that came from Cody when Jimin challenged him by asking him if he touched you, in a rather insulting way if I recall correct. 

Well, can this be taken in a way that means Jimin 'protected' you? 

Naaaaah he will never be nice towards me, he was just pretending. 

You shake the thought away and the small amount of warmth that was formed in your stomach, at the thought of a male you have no family relations to, being protective over in a romantic way, fades away and you can't help but notice its absence and secretly want it to come back. 

You can't seek this warmth from Jimin, though, he not the right person to have the ability to do that to you. 

He would probably abuse such power. 

So, you keep your face straight and with no expression waiting for one of them to talk. 

"I repeat what are you doing here?" You ask once again as none of them seems to make an attempt to explain. 

Jimin takes the spoon away from his mouth and places it next to a blue bowl. He turns his body to face you and licks his lips before speaking,
"I needed to take my stuff so I used the key under the mat and got in to take them, but then I needed to throw up and we decided to stay a little longer,"

You purse your lips, "Aham,"  You eyeing Jimin in a way that says you are suspicious, but in all honesty you are just wondering whether you should point out that they got into your apartment without permission or ask if he is feeling better. 

This is pure confusion. 

Not asking how he's feeling is going to be cruel and you get the uneasy feeling that you ate going to hurt him this way, however your conscious passes you the thought that he doesn't care whether you are hurt or not when he tells you something, so why should you? 

That last point is not very accurate. 

See he actually cares, remember before the party when he said something about your parents not wanting you to go home for the holidays? Yeah, when you brought him home drunk he kept apologizing and insisting on it until you did. 

Had he not been drunk you could say that he was just fooling you to keep you close for the act the two of you are putting. But, he wasn't sober, he was drunk and when in drunk state people tend to tell the truth because they have more courage to do so. 

You sigh as your head starts hurting from the confusion. 

What is this boy trying to do? 

You think and shake your head, "Are you feeling any better?" you ask without even realizing how the words rolled out of your mouth. 

Jimin looks at you in surpise. He is confused too, a bit ago you were making fun of his laugh and threatening to not see him here when you come back, yet again, now that you are back and he hasn't left he's instead in your kitchen, eating the soup you made for him, the one he earlier poured some amount of it in the sink, and you are asking him if he's feeling okay. 

What is this girl trying to do

He thinks and blinks at you a couple of times before answering, "I'm a little bit better," he says and turns his back to you to continue eating. 

"How did you get out? Did you get in contact with that man?" you ask looking over at Yoongi, who risk far than just amused by the two of you. 

"If you had stayed you'd know," Jimin says and your blood starts boiling again. 

You take your coat off and forcefully sit on the chair in the middle of the table, "If you appreciated more the effort I put in you then I wouldn't have left," you spit back, referring to way he talked about your laugh as you at him, making a hole with your strong gaze on his forehead. 

He takes another spoonful of the soup and then looks up you, "If you knew not to make fun of someone who is in a difficult situation, then I wouldn't have reacted that way," 

You take a small moment to go through what he said, 

'make fun of someone' 

Wait, he thinks you made fun of him? As in ridicule him? 

No, 

Those were not your intentions. 

You just found it funny and laughed but you didn't mean to make him feel insecure about it. 

It was the type of making-fun-of friends do with each other; when one does something embarrassing and the other laughs their ass off but still there are no hard feelings or misunderstandings because they accept each other as they are with their flaws and perfections. 

But of course, you and Jimin are not friends. 

Not even close. 

Probably that's why he read your laughter as ridiculing and degrading towards him. 

It's because he doesn't know you well enough to understand that making fun of people in a harsh way is not something that expresses you. 

"If you knew me well enough you would have realized that I didn't intend on making you feel bad about you getting trapped in that elevator or your voice crack, whatsoever," you say and make a small pause before speaking again, "But you don't know me that well, so I'm sorry if I made you feel bad about it, it was not my intention,"  you say your apology with a much calmer and soothing voice now. 

Jimin's response to you will probably determine if you will act on the thoughts you had about an hour ago, or if you'll continue treating him like you have already been. 

Jimin is looking at you with wide eyes,  he was not expecting something like that coming from you. Just when he was close to convincing himself again that you're just like every other girl, cruel and mean. 

Oh well, you could be lying but what would you get out of it? 

He's not planning on putting his guard down anytime soon and eventually you'll give up on trying to he nice to him. 

Yoongi, on the other hand, can't help but feel that the two of you are finally taking steps and getting closer to making amends. 

Things are going to be so much better in your group of friends if you and Jimin just make truce with each other. 

"Okay," Jimin says nonchalantly, "But I don't want to get to know you," 

Secretly, in your subconscious,  you hoped to get a more friendly and welcoming response; it would be enough to convince you and go for another round and stay patient for a little bit longer hoping that Jimin will change his mind about you, but that's not what got down. 

He rejected you once again. 

Well, you got your final slap across the face. 

You don't need anymore to realize that making amends with Park Jimin is never going happen. 

It's worthless, you keep wasting your energy on him and he continues on being cold as a stone. 

From now on you will ignore all those 'kind' gestures he does. They are not worth it. 

You have better things to occupy yourself with, instead of Jimin. 

"Good, because I want nothing to do with you either," you say and Jimin's eyebrows shot up in surpise, Yoongi twists his face in an expression that screams 'Not again',  which is exactly what his thoughts are. 

"Listen, from now on, the two of us are not going to talk to each other, we won't help each other, we will not mention each other, we'll be total strangers," you pause and you can already read the panic in Jimin's face. 

He's probably thinking that you are going to give up on the whole act you out together for Chae-Rin and he starts cussing himself, in his head, saying that he knew you would do something like that and that he should have been more cautious and not trusted you. 

"I'm not going to stop being your wall of protection from Chae-Rin because I made a promise and I keep my promises. In front of everyone I'll play the act with you, however, when we happen to be alone or with only our friends who know of this, then we are absolute nothing to each other, got it?" You explain and you see his face turning calmer. 

"No more insulting each other, no more pranks, no more glares, no more making our lives harder than they already are and no more helping each other. Off the stage we're nobodies, okay?" you say and Jimin gives it a thought. 

You gave up. 

You couldn't last long enough to tear his walls apart and have him fall for you. 

Oh, he feels such great relief. 

He won't have to read your actions to try and understand you any more, because if he agrees and none of you will attempt to get closer. And both of you will know that when you will be kind and sweet to one another it's just going to be for the eye of other's and totally fake. 

Since he will be aware that your kindness will only be for Chae-Rin and that you'll only be strangers when alone makes it lots easier. 

He won't be confused trying to figure out whether the kindness you are showing him is honest or fake. 

And of course the same stands for you. 

Maybe this is a good solution, will you manage to keep pretending to be strangers, though? 

"We got a deal,"
