A/N : 안영!! I'm back and I couldn't be happier. Yes, things have settled down FOR NOW for me and I really did miss writing. I was wondering about you guys and so I decided to update today. This break kinda helped me bcuz at the beginning of this story, I had no idea where it would go but now I've got some stuff figured out. Hope you enjoy this chapter!

Two days...
It's been TWO WHOLE DAYS since I've stayed at home 'resting'.

I call it, the Jimin Effect. That naughty man stole my alarm in the middle of the night so I wouldn't wake up. The next day, he used his good looks to keep me at home. Aish, what do I do with him?

" Yah!! My ankle feels fine now! " I say and pout as my legs dangle off the building. Jimin and I were on the rooftop of the house.

" Are you sure? Was two days enough to make you feel better? " He says with a look of concern.
" Way more than enough " I say with a scowl.
" Have you been eating properly? " He asks and I groan.
" YES EOMMA "
He chuckles and puts an arm around my shoulder.

A/N P.O.V

The setting sun was radiant,  its orange hue creeping into every corner, bathing the land before them in a warm glow. 

Jimin's eyes landed on Y/N, and her stunning beauty never failed to make his heart race. The way her skin glowed in the orange hue of the setting sun kept his eyes glued to her, and he never wanted to let her go.

He knew that his past was nothing but a filthy representation of himself, but he was young and dumb, and never felt the genuine emotions of love that could make anyone go crazy if you had too much of it.

As he stared at her, he spoke to himself in his mind saying,

Falling in love with you was the easy part; it's admitting to myself that it happened that's hard. I've only ever wanted people to be submissive to me and to see the fear in their eyes at the mention of my name, only sets off a spark in me that can never go out.

The image of women swooning over me when I enter a building gave me a sense of power, but now that I've met my match, I can't help but realise how foolish I was.

At that moment, a gush of wind pounded against them, sending Y/N's hair in a tornado-like frenzy.

Y/N laughed as her hair was now hanging over her face. Jimin stretched his hand out and moved away her brunette locks from blocking the only view he could live on.

Y/N's P.O.V

As Jimin gently moved the strands of hair out of face, he scooched closer to me and intertwined my fingers with his.

When he looked at me it was as if every ounce of breath was taken from my lungs.

He leaned forward and attached his lips to mine and stroked my cheek with his other hand.

Every time he kissed me, it felt like the world stopped, leaving just the two of us in the moment. Every time he held my face between his hands it felt like he was untying all of my knots; holding me for eternity in the arms I've grown so accustomed to.

We broke the kiss and leaned our foreheads on each other and looked deeply into each other's eyes. His brown earthy orbs seemed to take me away from this world of pain and the only thing that I could feel was the overflowing warmth of love.

Time flew as the light of day fled and the blanket of night was draped onto the earth. Slowly, little twinkling lights from above came to be seen and I smiled, thinking of the night I spent out staring at them.

A cold gush of wind swept across us and I shuddered.
" I think we should go back babe. "
Jimin says almost in a whisper.
I groan and sigh.
" Do we have to? "
He chuckles and lifts himself of the floor.
" Yes. The others are gonna be going to Jin hyung's house for dinner and we are invited too. "

My face brightened as I sat up.
" Really? Everyone? Yay!! I'm curious to see Jin and more than that, his cooking. "
Jimin wrapped his arm around my waist as we walked down the dusty wooden stairs that creaked with every step taken.
" Does no-one come here often? " I say with a frown.
" Well, sometimes I come up here but nobody bothers about this place. "
" I like it. " I say with a shrug.

*Time skip*

A/N P.O.V

Y/N flinched for the 10th time in the shower as Jimin pounded on the door and yelled from the other side.
" Y/N!! Hurry up!! We have to leave in half an hour and you aren't ready!! "

" YAH!!! CAN YOU WAIT?! "
She screeches at the top of the voice from inside the shower and Jimin scrunches his nose at the loud snarls that echoed from the bathroom throughout her room.

After a few mins, Y/N walks out already dressed and Jimin frowns.
" I didn't see you take clothes in. "
Y/N chuckles and says,
" Too bad, I ain't fallin for your tricks this time. "
Jimin smirks at her words and slowly makes his way towards her and wraps his arms around her waist.
" What tricks? " He says in a low voice and brings his face closer to hers.

Satisfaction erupted in him when a  flustered Y/N was on display in front of him. Her cheeks turned bright pink and her breath hitched.
She brings her hand to his chest and slowly pushes him away and says,
" Don't do that. "
" Why not? "
" Aish! J-just stop! " She says, flustered and Jimin laughs.

She turns around to look in the mirror and frowns.

" Do I look ok? It looks quite informal for a dinner don't you think? "
She turns around and looks Jimin up and down as she didn't really look at what he was wearing.

" That looks good! "
" I know. Everything looks good on me. "
Y/N rolls her eyes and rummages through her closet.

A small smile makes its way onto Jimin's face as he moved her aside.
" Yah! What are you- "
" Shush. I'm choosing an outfit for you. "
" How can you- "
" Shush. I know what I'm doing. "
" But- "
" Shush "
" STOP SHUSHING ME! " she says and pinches his arm. Jimin winces and puts his palms together and says,
" Ok ok ok!!! "

Y/N made her way towards her bed and scrolled through her phone.
A sly smirk appeared on Jimin's face as a thought entered his mind. His hand slowly went towards a certain drawer and as his fingers clasped around the jewel knob, a voice from behind him yelled.

" Don't even think about it Park Jimin!"
He pouted as he drew his hand back and continued searching for the perfect outfit for her.

*15 mins later*

" I've got it! " Jimin says with a little bounce.
" It's about time " Y/N says with a groan and takes the clothes from his hand and walks into the bathroom.
Jimin yells after her saying,
" Just change out here! I've already seen you na- "
" STOP YELLING IT OUT! " she screeches from the bathroom

Jimin bursts out laughing at her flustered self and sits himself down on the bed and takes out his phone as a notification struck loudly.

Tae_bear🐻
Be there in 10.

Jiminie_Pabo😲
Ok. I'm actually excited to see Jin hyung.

Tae_bear🐻
Oh shut up. You just want his food.

Jiminie_Pabo😲
Guilty.

Tae_bear🐻
Are you ready?

Jiminie_Pabo😲
Yea. I'm just waiting for Y/N. By the way, I have a question.

Tae_bear🐻
Shoot

Jiminie_Pabo😲
Is Lisa coming?

Tae_bear🐻
Obviously. Why?

Jiminie_Pabo😲
Just wanted to know.

With that, he turned off his phone and sighed. He was clear that the last encounter that the two of them had was far from friendly and guilt tugged at his heart as he replayed the the crude conversation they last shared. So, he decided to sort things out with her. After all, she was more than just a friend to him.

Y/N P.O.V

I have to say, Jimin's got good taste!
I looked at myself in the bathroom mirror as I did my hair and applied light makeup.

I stepped out to see Jimin sitting on my bed, staring into space.
" Ok let's go! I'm done "
He nods and gets up.
Something seems off. Is he alright?
I shrug away the thought and follow him out the door to his car.

The ride was silent and I took a few glances at him until I couldn't take it anymore.
" You alright? " I ask with my eyebrows raised.
He looks at me out of the corner of his eye and sighs.
" Yes. Just got a lot on my mind right now. "

I stretch my hand out and place it on his thigh.
He places his hand on mine and caresses it.
" I'm okay. Don't worry. " he says with his eyes fixed on the road.
I nod and look out the window until the car slowly comes to a stop.
" We're here " Jimin says with a smile and gets out the car. He jogs around the car and opens my door.

" Why thank you kind sir. " I say and Jimin bows 90°.
We laugh as we hook our arms together and walk up to the door.
" Goodness. Are all your friends rich?" I say in awe as I look at the huge house.
He chuckles and nods,
" I guess so. "

Jimin presses the doorbell and the sound of a large dinging bell echoed through the house. It wasn't long before a scurry of footsteps were heard from the other side.

The door was opened and we were met with a smiling young woman.
" Hello Mr. Park! Nice to see you again. And you must be Ms. Kim, please come in. "
" Thank you Laura! " Jimin says as we walk down a long hallway.
" Is she a maid? " I ask.
Jimin nods his head and not long after, we reach a large dining room.

As we enter, all the heads turn to us and the room goes silent for a second.
" Y/N!!!!! " Tae says, and immediately comes up and hugs me.
" You look great! " He says with a large smile.
" Gee thanks " I say, and my eyes are drawn to a man sitting at the head of the table.

He had black hair, dark eyes and full, plump lips. I have to say that he is stunning. He smiles and makes his way to me and takes my hand and places a light kiss on it.
" You must be Y/N. I'm Kim seokjin, but you can call me Jin. I must say I've heard a lot about you from everyone. I've been eager to meet you. "
I bow a little and say,
" Yes, I can say the same. Your cooking seems to be their primary topic everytime they talk about you. "

He shrugs and says,
" Oh well, I'm known for other things too. " Shooting a wink at me.
" Ok Hyung enough flirting. " Jimin says and smacks his shoulder as the room bursts out in laughter.
" Oh come on, no-one can resist this face. "
I laugh and we make our way to the long table.

I choose a seat and sit down as everyone does the same. A frown appears on my face as I turn to see the seat next to me empty.
" Hyung can I have some water? " Jimin says and Jin guides him to another room.
Not long after, Lisa plops down on the vacant seat next to me and smiles.

" Hey girl! " She says and nudges me.
" Lookin hot. "
I laugh and look her up and down with a smirk.

" So are you. "
I usually love playing gay so I don't take it seriously.
Lisa's cheeks turned red and leaned close to me.

I furrow my eyebrows at the unexpected move and lean backwards.
" Lisa what- "
She places a kiss on my cheek and smiles and shrugs.
" Chill. Just a kiss! "
A smile makes it way onto my face as I mentally facepalm myself at my stupid assumption.

Jimin walks back in with Jin and stops abruptly when he sees Lisa sitting next to me. Jin sits down at the head of the table and since Jimin didn't want to make a scene, he sat at the chair opposite me.

Gigi was to my left, and Lisa to my right. Jimin never took his eyes off Lisa and I and I found it weird.
At that moment, five servants entered the room, each of them holding two clioches.

I laugh when I see Jungkook jumping impatiently in his seat for the clioches to be placed and opened on the table.
" Kookie calm down! " Megs says, and Jungkook looks at her with wide eyes.
" Are you kidding me? I haven't eaten Jin hyung's food in a month. This is an epic moment so no, I will not calm down. "

Everyone laughs, everyone except Jimin. All he showed was a small smile and then his eyes fell back on Lisa and I.
What is going on with him?
The lids were lifted and my jaw dropped at the stunning food that was on display in front of us.
" Oh. My. God " I say in shock.
" Just wait till you taste it. " Tae says, wiggling his eyebrows.
" Yeah. You would easily dump Jimin to marry that plate of food. "

Jimin glares at Jungkook and pinches his leg under the table. A loud yelp was heard from Jungkook and we erupted in laughter. Jin clapped his hands and said,
" Ok now that's enough fighting children! Time to eat. "
And I thought Jimin was an Eomma.

I took a spoonful of the food and I couldn't believe my taste buds. After I swallowed the food, I turned towards Jin with my mouth hanging open.
" How?! "
He smirks and says,
" It's a secret. "
" Oh please. You say that every time. " Tae says with an eye roll.

" Aw Y/N, you've got something here. " Lisa says, and points to her chin.
I try to locate the point but failed.
" Aish. Let me get it for you. "
She leans close to me, places her thumb on my lip and swipes the bit of food off.
I have no idea why, but a gesture as simple as that, sent a tingly sensation off in my heart.

I smile and say,
" Thanks "
" It's ok babe. "
I turn to Jimin to see him sending death glares to Lisa and Lisa doing the same to him.
I wave my hand in front of their face and say,
" Um.. everything all right? "
" Oh yeah, just fine. " Jimin says monotonously and an awkward silence hovered in the room. The only sound that could be heard after that was the clanging of spoons and forks on the glossy white plates.

*Time skip*

A/N P.O.V

Jimin's blood was boiling, and all thoughts of sorting things out with Lisa vanished after her behaviour towards Y/N at the dinner.
He couldn't care less about how the food was, all he wanted was to end this madness with Lisa.

He tried to get a moment with her after the dinner but she avoided him effortlessly and now, Jimin and Y/N were on their way back home.
Jimin gripped the steering wheel tightly as he took sharp turns out of anger, which would probably be sending Y/N all over the car if she wasn't wearing her seatbelt.

" Yah Jimin! Stop doing that! I'm gonna be sick! " She said whining as her hands rubbed her stomach, thoughts of regret entering her mind as she recalled the taste of the 4 large dishes of food she ate.

" You shouldn't have eaten so much " Jimin says, trying to be sweet to Y/N, knowing that she was innocent in Lisa's manipulative games, but only tones of bitterness left his mouth as he spoke.
Y/N notices his sudden change in attitude and wonders,
I did notice him glaring at Lisa. Is there some problem between them that I don't know about?

Y/N's mind eases a little after noticing the now familiar roads coming into view, indicating that they were close to home. She wanted to escape this bitter and awkward atmosphere as soon as possible, and maybe even confront Jimin about this.

As the car slowly pulls up the driveway, Jimin turns off the engine and steps out, closing the door with a loud bang, causing Y/N to flinch.
She expected him to walk into the house but nevertheless, he jogged around the car and opened the door for her.

She silently followed him inside and he didn't even spare her a glance. She couldn't take it anymore and so she stopped abruptly in her walk and said,
" Is it me? What did I do? "
Jimin turns around and his entire demeanor softens as he takes long strides towards Y/N and embraces her in his arms.

" No babe.. it's not you.. it never was. I'm sorry I made you feel that way. "
She stroked his back and whispered,
" Then what's bothering you? "
" I-its nothing you need to worry about. "
She sighs, knowing Jimin wouldn't let her in if he has his reasons.
As they make their way down the long hall of paintings, Y/N's eyes land on one that she hadn't noticed before.

( I searched a lot and this is the best I could find so please bear with me 😲😂 )

Jimin notices her attraction towards the painting and stands next to her, looking at it and says,
" That's my uncle. "
She was taken aback a bit and says almost in a whisper.
" T-the one who died? "

( If you remember from chapter 16, Jimin mentions his cousin's father's death, which is obviously his uncle. )

Jimin nods his head, his insides doing everything it can to stop tears from flowing down his face. For years, he had suppressed his sorrows, bottled it up and kept it hidden in a dark corner of his heart.

" I-it was a rainy day, I was 12. And that's when my life changed forever. "

A/N : This is the longest chapter I've ever written. 3064 words is too much and so I've decided to end this chapter here. I'm glad to be back and hope you guys enjoyed this chapter!!

By the way, should I do a casting? Let me know in the comments.

Lots of love,
Kimmy
