Two weeks after Joon's arrival at school you noticed how similar he and his sister were in various things. But he for sure didn't have her attitude. He was nice and always had a warm smile. He made friends easily and a lot of the girls found him attractive.

One day after school while practicing, you bought snacks for everyone. Since you had your leg fractured Jimin went to get it and Joon volunteered to help him bring them inside. Jimin, Hoseok and Jungkook were practicing with the students the whole entire time too. There were only three weeks left for the next show which made you worry since you weren't helping them enough. Jimin created the choreography with a bit of help from Hoseok and then showed it to you.

By now, Lisa was almost four months pregnant but she knew how to take care of herself very well and Namjoon didn't have to worry much since her job didn't require much physical movement. In a couple of weeks Lisa and Namjoon would be seeing the gender of the baby and their parents were going to meet up together to celebrate as well. They were going to have a cute baby shower inviting everyone to celebrate.

Namjoon was still very moved that he was going to be a father. It made him so happy and excited but also scared that he might hurt the baby in some way since he was known for breaking things. Lisa tried to let him know that he was going to be an amazing father and that everything was going to be alright. Hearing that made him love her even more.

One morning you were walking by the halls of school with a smoothie on your hands going to your class when you heard some yelling. The things being yelled made you worry and it woke up your teacher instincts. Seeing around the corner what was happening you saw a student yelling at another familiar one. You couldn't recognize him much because of the new hair color that he had but then you noticed it was Joon. His hair was originally black but now it was more orangish.

"You must be really broke if your sister decided to do that," the guy chuckled, poking Joon's head. "I mean, working as a stripper? What kind of nonsense is that? Is she really that needy for sex or money? Or maybe both?"

"What is your problem?" Joon yelled at him but it only resulted in the guy raising his hand up ready to slap him. You tried to stop him which resulted in him smacking your smoothie and it dropping to the floor. Not only that but your crutch fell on the floor since you were only using one at the time. Both looked at you shocked.

You were burning up in flames at the moment but kept your act together as you said, "Excuse me? I heard some yelling here and really disgusting words coming out so I decided to check out what was happening."

"We were just arguing like good friends," the guy said, wrapping his arm around Joon's shoulder. "Right, Joonie?"

Joon's face could tell it all how he was uncomfortable. He shrugged the guy's arm from his shoulder, glaring at him.

"I'm sorry but I heard what was happening so it couldn't be some normal friend talk," you said as someone else noticed the scene.

Jimin came by sipping on his smoothie and stopped walking, seeing the mess on the floor. Knowing that it was your smoothie that he bought you in the morning with his, he noticed something was wrong.

"What's happening here?" He asked, walking closer to you. He noticed your crutch on the floor and picked it up immediately, giving it to you. "Be careful, baby."

"Jimin, I think you might need to give one of your students a detention."

"Joon, was he bothering you?" Jimin asked, and Joon nodded, making the other guy glare at him. Jimin sort of put things together and said, "Alright, Hyojong, meet me in my classroom. It's mandatory."

The guy went to Jimin's room and Joon stayed there looking down at the mess on the floor, "Miss, I'm really sorry for that. I think I would've been able to handle him myself."

"Don't worry about it, Joon. Some people are like that sometimes," Jimin said. "It's fine. We'll probably get him to clean the mess up."

"Yeah don't worry, just go to your class and don't worry about him."

He bowed and walked away as Jimin turned to face you and asked, "So, what happened with Joon and Hyojong? And you, baby."

"I saw the other student yelling at him and I heard something. It was about his sister. It's shocking but apparently Hari is a stripper."

Jimin suddenly thought about the day he saw Hari at the club. She was wearing very provocative clothes. Even for a customer, it was too provocative. It felt like she was there like any other day. It was a normal working day for her.

"Either way, it doesn't matter," he said. If Joon is getting bullied it's not going to be tolerated and Hyojong is going to get punished for it. By the way, why is your smoothie on the floor as well as your crutch?"

"When I came by he was about to slap Joon but by accident he slapped my drink and my crutch."

"Oh my god. Baby, are you okay?" He asked, worriedly cupping your cheek. "You shouldn't have gotten too close. Or you should've called me first. Here, take my smoothie. I know you really like it."

You smiled, taking his and taking a sip of it, "Good. Good as always."

He smiled and wrapped his arms around your waist as he said, "Cutie, I love you."

"I love you more."

"No, I love you way more...."

And those were the words that Joon heard as he hid at the corner of the hallway. He knew he was right, Jimin was never going to be Hari's. Neither should he keep dreaming and thinking that he could have anything to do with Jimin's wife. Cause that's what he thought. Just maybe, maybe, he'd get a slight chance.

But even he knew it was all his imagination.
