39 ~ A Fading Scent

Edited.

///

"Who was that boy in your apartment with you?"

Crap.

Mr. and Mrs. Wang's heads shot to your direction, glares evident on their faces.

You just had to act natural, if you looked shaken by what the little girl said, everyone would think something suspicious was going on.

Which was true, but they didn't need to know that.

They were probably thinking that you were cheating on Jackson, which was not the case.

You weren't even dating Jackson in the first place, so you weren't cheating.

But they probably wouldn't fair well with that answer either.

"Oh that was Jimin, he's y/n's best friend" Jackson answered and you could see Jackson's parents relax.

He wasn't lying, Jimin was in fact your best friend. It was just an added extra that you could call him your boyfriend.

Also the late night cuddled and the fact that you could kiss him was also a bonus.

The best bonus imaginable.

As if Yuqi didn't stir up enough tension, the little girl decided to speak again.

"Jackson was so sad after we visited you then" she said innocently.

"Oh really?" You asked while wiping pasta sauce off Jackson's chin with a chuckle.

"Yeah I think he didn't want to leave you there alone with that boy" she giggled.

"Jackson knows that Jimin is harmless" you smile at him and he begins to nod.

"Of course he is, I know him well" Jackson smiles.

"So we have nothing to worry about?" Mrs. Wang asked, her eyebrows raised and you immediately shook your head.

You hate lying.

Things started to quiet down and people were ready to go home. Jackson's parents paid for the meal and you of course thanked them for it.

"Well it was a pleasure to meet you" Mr. Wang smiled.

"It was nice to meet you both too" you smile.

Jackson walked with Yuqi to his parents car to bid goodbye to them and you were left with his brother, sister-in-law and niece.

You sighed a breath of relief.

"That was good y/n, I almost forgot you weren't actually dating my brother" Lucas sniggered.

"Thank you" you chuckled.

"I think they like you, they weren't as nice to me when I first met them, they hated me" Eunji pouted.

"That's probably because I was described as the perfect girlfriend to them. If I was to tell the real story I would have to say that my parents are a touchy subject, I don't want to be a nurse, I actually have no clue what I want to be and that Jimin is my Boyfriend and Jackson is not" you explain.

"So in reality they would hate me a lot more then you if they knew the truth" you chuckled.

"See" Lucas gestures towards you. "And they love you now" he cooed.

"Oh please, that's just because we made them grandparents" she remarks. She turned to you, "You have no idea how hard it is when you want your husbands parents to like you. I have been nothing but polite to them! I don't get why they don't like me" she whined.

Oh yeah, I have no experience with that at all, you sarcastically thought.

"It must be hard" you sympathize.

"That's one word for it" she sighs.

"Rich kid parents" you and Eunji sigh together and you both erupted in a fit of giggles, completely understanding how much of a pain in the ass they could be.

Jackson then returns back to you with Yuqi after he bid goodbye to his parents. As he gets closer to you he picks up his pace. Lucas runs over and picks up his daughter before returning to the group.

Jackson runs into you and picks you up, twirling you around as he chants, "Thank you, Thank you, Thank you" you giggle at him.

"No problem"

"You have no idea how much that meant to me, y/n, I owe you my life" he let you down after his sign of gratitude.

"Your welcome" you smile.

"I would kiss you right now if you didn't have a boyfriend" he stated, saying the second part quietly so that Yuqi wouldn't hear, immediately regretting it. "That came out wrong"

"It's fine~" you chuckled. "Who wouldn't want to kiss me? I'm amazing" you remarked.

"I don't know how to answer that without either looking like a pervert or insulting you" he laughed and you hit his arm.

"So when will I have to meet them again?" You asked.

"I think tomorrow evening" he smiled and you nodded, happy that the first impudent well.

Not that it would've affected you anyways if it went wrong.

This was only a fake relationship.

The real one is the only one you cared about, nothing else really mattered to you.

You arrived home and sat on the couch, continuing to read the books on that list that Jimin gave you. You sighed from fatigue and rubbed your eyes.

Oh god, you would do anything to get a snuggle from your Chim Chim right now.

-Jimin

Jimin woke up early in the morning as he did everyday since he was there, sighing as he lifted himself from the bed and wrapped his arms around himself, hoping to give himself some sort of comfort.

He grasped his pillow, which had your scarf secretly hidden inside the cover. He held it as close as he possibly could to his chest and breathed in your scent.

He slowly exhaled a shaky breath.

Your scent was slowly fading out of the scarf and was being replaced with Jimin's scent and that only made him want to cry.

That was the only thing he had of you.

Alex stirs in her sleep and hazily blinks are eyes open. When she opens her eyes, she is met with Jimin sitting at the edge of the bed, crying softly into his pillow that he was holding softly to his chest.

It broke her heart a little.

She sat up and crawled over to him. She wrapped her arms around his shoulders and held him in a tight embrace.

"I'm sorry" she whispered.

Jimin lets the last of his tears fall before wiping them away quickly, "there is nothing to be sorry for" he said weakly.

"I know, but I'm sorry that you have to go through this, it must be awful. I know I want to go home to someone too, but that's just a big crush I have. For you, it's someone you love dearly" she explains, still holding him in an embrace.

"I just miss her so much" he began to weep.

"I know, and she misses you too" Alex cooed.

"She always made me feel better" he smiled weakly.

"Tell me about her" Alex said, hoping that maybe talking about you would make him feel better.

Alex noticed the genuine smile flash in his expression from the thought of you.

You really had that affect on him.

"What do you want to know?" He asked.

"Anything. How did you meet her?, Why are you in love with her?, favorite memories" she smiled, searching for his eyes. But they were long gone in a trance, thinking about you.

"The first time I saw her was about six or seven months ago now" he began, "I was in the cafe where she works, trying to get some peace and quiet-"

"Away from me" Alex interjected while chuckling and Jimin nodded shyly causing her to hit his arm playfully. "Anyways, continue"

"I saw her working her butt off, trying to work as much as she could. She would seem quite happy in front of people while she was serving them. But then she would go back behind the counter and she would look so distressed. And I found her fascinating" he recalled the memory.

"So then I went to school and saw her passing me in hallways or in classrooms, and I couldn't help but think about her and wonder what her life was like. I'm not a stalker or a pervert, I swear" he said making her chuckle.

"No, no, it sounds adorable" Alex commented.

"One day you wanted to go the cafe for a date after school. So we went and when we arrived I saw her working yet again. And you left for some or other reason, and I saw my chance to get to know this girl, and I took that chance and she began to call me asshat and I called her muffin, and it was the best day ever" he beamed, "and now that I know what it's like to have her in my life, I never want her out of it. But unfortunately, she is out of it at the moment" he said, staring at his hands. He recalled the memory where you said that his pinkie was adorable. He smiled.

It has been a few hours since Alex had her chat with Jimin. She knew that he had to make some sort of 'plans' with her, but she had no idea what they were. She wanted to let Jimin keep the calm and somewhat happy mood he was in since they talked, as he didn't have those moods that often anymore. But luckily Jimin approaches her about the plans.

"Okay, so what I'm about to tell you may throw you off guard" he began, "and it will be uncomfortable for the both of us, but we've done it before, so we can do it again, I guess" he sighed.

It couldn't be any more obvious how much he didn't want to do this.

"Yes?"

"We have to make out with each other" he sighed rubbing his hands over his face.

"Why?" she asked, shocked that Jimin, the man that would attack anyone that would even talk you you without his permission, was saying such things.

"Because, who will believe that we are together if all they see is innocent pecks and touches. I know that if you were in public people would believe it, but we have to convince the people who are under the same roof as us. And by doing this they might think that we go even further with it, if you catch my meaning, and they won't pester us"

"So when will we be doing this? Because I doubt you of all people want to be making out with me all the time, or at all really" she chuckled.

"Well for example, we know that my aunt goes to the dining room every afternoon for her afternoon tea, so we will be there before her to the room and when she walks in, she will find us making out and think that we are together" he explains and Alex nods, processing the information.

"It's a good plan. Not one I'm particularly excited to do, but if it gets them off our backs about pushing anything further, I'm all for it" she smiled weakly.

"Nothing personal, but I'm not looking forward to it either" he sighed.

"But isn't it too obvious if she finds us in the dining room where she goes every day. She'll probably be able to guess that it's a set up" Alex comments, making Jimin rethink his plan.

"You're right" he bites his lip in thought of what to do.

"I was thinking we go to the library and leave the door open, since the dining room is opposite there, she would be going inside and could see us as she passes to go to the dining room" she explained.

"Not bad Alex" Jimin remarks, making her blush.

"So should we go over now, because she should be there in like" Alex peers down at her watch, "fifteen minutes" Jimin nodded and they both left the shared bedroom.

As they left the room, Jimin put his hand around Alex, immediately cringing as it didn't feel right.

But they had to convince everyone around them that they were together. Be it staff, guests, Jimin's uncle who is hardly ever home and Jimin's Aunt. They couldn't let the truth get out.

They arrived outside the library with time to spare. They entered the room and Alex left the door wide open for later.

"I think we should leave it ajar, because that looks obvious too" Jimin suggested and Alex agreed, closing the door to the gap size that they wanted. "How long do we have?" Jimin asked.

Alex checked her watch and answered, "less then five minutes" she said.

Alex then made her way to the door, pressing her ear beside the door frame, waiting expectantly to hear high heels clicking on the wooden floor of the long hallway.

Jimin leaned against the desk in the middle of the room. It was used for someone to sit down and read a book, but no one ever did. All that room did was catch dust, which the staff members cleaned away.

Jimin began to chew the inside of his cheek.

He was technically cheating on his muffin, and he would never forgive himself for that.

But it was either make out with Alex now.

Or

Be forced to do worse with each other later.

This seemed like the better option.

Alex perked up and quickly paced over to Jimin, getting ready for what was about to happen.

He could hear the footsteps a far distance down the hallway, but his hearing was soon replaced with his heart thumping with tremendous guilt.

Alex cupped his face between her hands, "don't worry" she said weakly and Jimin nodded.

"I'll giggle to get her attention" She states, immediately cringing afterwards.

Once the footsteps were heard coming dangerously close to the door, Alex giggled loudly, trying to gain the persons attention.

And it worked.

Alex then reached up quickly and began kissing Jimin, trying to make it look as heated and passionate as possible.

Jimin tried to return the gesture as best he could, but he couldn't help but feel the power rise in him to burst into tears.

He wanted you to kiss him, no one else.

His lips were yours only,

And your lips were his only.

But that statement did not seem to be true at the moment.

Mrs. Choi opened the door slightly, causing the door hinges to squeak. Alex gasped and stoped giving the affectionate gesture and jumped away from Jimin in 'shock'.

She was a good actor.

Mrs. Choi smirked. "Don't mind me" she chuckled, "I didn't mean to interrupt, please do continue" she said, closing the door to give you both some privacy.

You could hear the dining room door close, signaling that she was out of earshot. Tears welled in Jimin's eyes almost instantly and he wiped his lip with his sleeve, trying to get the traces that weren't left by you off him.

"It worked! She believed it! This could actually work!" Alex celebrated.

Jimin nodded, but he wasn't exactly feeling celebratory.

He felt like a rotten boyfriend, who cheated on the most amazing girl in the entire world.

And those emotions, were the worst kind of feelings to experience.

He felt disgusted with himself.
