(A date)

Jimin’s Pov:

I dressed up and went to the studio for some verifications as requested by the officials.

It was the second day since BTS left and I’ve been feeling damn lonely since then.

When I got to the studio, I noticed my pictures were all over the place, even on the walls which were computerized. And it was noted I was the latest Lover Boy.

Wow!

I met with the officials I was appointed to meet and they gave me some forms to fill. Then, they also told me I was to do a duet with the Lover Boys so I’ll become recognised and it was stated I commenced training that very week.

I spent about an hour with them and when I came out of the office, a call came into my phone.

I checked and discovered it was dad.

Oh!

“Hello?” I said quickly on the phone as I stopped walking so I could hear him properly.

“Good morning, dad” I greeted elatedly.

“Good morning, angel. How’re you doing?” He asked in his deep masculine voice.

“I’m fine, dad.”

“Oh, dear. Sorry for not calling on time. I heard of your success. I saw you on TV. You’ve become one of the Lover Boys, right?”

I smiled.

“Yes dad” I replied and he laughed.

“That’s incredible. I can’t believe my son’s become a star. I love you, dear. Keep it up, okay?” He beamed.

“I will, dad. love you too” I replied, smiling continuously.

“Okay. I have to go now. I’m in the middle of a meeting. We just went out for a minute break.” He said.

“Okay, dad. Bye”.
And the call ended.

I stared at the blank phone for a while and smiled.

I wish someone like Mr Ray was really my father. I’d have been the luckiest boy on earth.

This makes me wonder what my family would be like.

I sighed and turned around to leave, but surprisingly, I saw Kan standing behind me, together with two of the Lover Boys.

“Wow! Look whom we have here” he said with a smile as he crossed his hands.

Gosh! What does he want from me.

“Long time, no see, Jimin” he added with a fatuous grin.

“Kan, please, I don’t want any troubles” I said devastated and he laughed.

“Wow! You now call me by my name. Isn’t that incredible?” He asked with laughter and looked back at the two boys who chuckled.

“And why wouldn’t he? He’s now one of us” we heard someone say and turned to see Il-seong, Kwon and Kwan approaching us.

Il-seong was the one who had spoken.

“Hmm. And the son of a bitch has arrived” one of the boys with Kan said.

“You had better watched that tongue of yours, Chul, if you don’t want it cut out.” lIseong said with a derogatory stare.

“Seriously, Seong? You’re such a kill-joy. Just when I was about congratulating the our new dearest Lover Boy” Kan said.

“Yeah. Just felt like giving you some advice” Il-seong replied and Kan scoffed and drew closer to him.

“Are you aware you’re getting on my nerves?” He asked with a glare.

“Well, your highness, I don’t think I was.” Replied Il-seong with a smirk.

What’s wrong with Kan?

“Kan!” I called and he looked at me.

Then, I moved closer to him.

“I don’t know what exactly your problem is, but just have this in mind; simply because you’re the leader of the band doesn’t make you a ruler over me.
And as for your congratulations, you can take it back; I don’t need it”.

And with that, I walked away with Il-seong and the rest, ignoring Kab who had a ghostly expression on his face.

“Oh, my God! Jimin, when did you become so bold?” Il-seong asked as I sat in the room with him, Kwan and Kwon.

Seriously, I also had no idea where that boldness to stand up to Kan came from.

Well, I guess it’s high time I stopped being a tool for mockery. I mean, I’m a star, just like he is. So I can’t let him continue ridiculing me.

I bent my head and smiled shyly as Il-seong looked into my face.

He had suggested I followed him to his apartment, together with Kwab and Kwon.

“Seriously boy, I love it. That’s just the way it should be. That Kan is a devil and doesn’t deserve a single respect” Kwan said.

“Yeah. I was kind of thinking we’d have to lecture you on that. But good thing you’re catching up already” Kwon also said and I smiled.

I haven’t gotten used to them so, I kind of feel shy around them for now.

But they seem really friendly and simple.

“Gosh! I love the expression I had seen on Kan’s face. He was looking like a ghost” Il-seong said with laughter.

“I guess he never expected that.”
He paused and giggled, then came to sit next to me on the bed.

Kwan and Kwon were also on the bed.

“So, tell me, Jim, what song do you think we should perform? You know, as your first official performance?” Il-seong asked and I stared at the ceiling to think.

“Uhm…I have a lot of songs in mind. But…would Kan consent to sing along with us?” I replied and asked and Il-seong chuckled.

“And who the hell cares? He can join if he wants to. It’s his choice” he said and I shrugged.

“so, we’ll be rehearsing within the week and by the end of the week, the release should be out” he further said and I nodded.

“By the way, Jimin,” Kwan suddenly said and I turned to look at him.

“How was your stay in Qatar with Jungkook?” He asked and my eyes beamed.

Huh?

“Yes, Jimin. Tell us. How did it go?” Kwon also chipped in, enthusiastically.

“I heard you guys had to share the same bedroom. Oh, my gee! Did something happen?”

“Yes! Like, did he bump into you when you were dressing? Or…you know?”

I looked at them in disbelief as they talked and smiled curiously.

“Guys, give him a break” Il-seong suddenly said and I heaved a sigh of relief, thinking he was saving me.

“But seriously, Jimin; did something happen between you two? Did you get to touch him?” He asked, smiling widely and I scoffed.

“Nothing happened” I said and they gasped.

“Come on, Jimin; how can you say such a thing?” Kwon asked with a playful frown.

“How could you spend three days alone with Jungkook and nothing happened?

“You know, if I had been in your shoes, there’s no way I’d have left such an opportunity unused” Kwan said dreamily.

“Oh! I wonder what’s it gonna be like being in bed with someone like Jungkook. I’m sure he must be pretty good at it” Kwon said and giggled.

“Well, of course, he’s a Bangtan Boy and once a player. He’s the type that damages a guy’s legs in bed” Il-seong said and I folded my lips and looked at the floor.

Oh, God! Why are they reminding me of these?

“Well, it’d be an honour having my legs damaged by someone like Jungkook!” Kwan said and fell on the bed, laughing.

Geez!

“Why have you been quiet, Jimin? Don’t you have anything to say?” Il-seong asked and I pouted my lips.

“Uh…I um…I don’t really have much knowledge about all these things” I replied and Kwan and Kwon laughed, except for Il-seong who just smiled.

“Are you trying to say you’ve never been fu*ked?” Kwon asked and I gasped.

What the hell! Can you imagine how freely he said it?

“Hold on; Jimin, are you a virgin?” Kwan asked and I opened my mouth, but couldn’t close them.

Oh, God!

I couldn’t say anything and that was when Il-seong laughed.

“Jimin” he called and held my hand.

“Forget what these two guys are saying. It isn’t a crime to be a virgin. But, the thing is, now you’re a star and you need to act like one.

“I love the way you stood up to Kan today. It was amazing. But, you need to do more. Kill off every spirt of intimidation and learn to feel free around others. Be outspoken so you don’t give others the impression that you’re someone that can be bullied”.
He paused and stood up, facing me.

“And one more essential thing – your mode of dressing. You can’t go on with these funny clothes of yours. You need to look good; just like a star.

“So, come with me; we’re going for shopping. When you’ve gotten someone who has melted your heart, you can tell him to pay me back” he said and before I could say a word, Kwon and Kwan stood up from the bed and dragged me along with them, out of the room.

Oh, God! Where did I get to know these guys from?

               ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

Days passed and Il-seong, Kwan and Kwon really made them enjoyable for me.

We spent most of the time in the studio, rehearsing for the group song and during that space of time, I got to understand and like each of them – especially Il-seong.

Kwan was a flirt and wasn’t ready to settle down with anybody.

Kwon was the boyfriend of a popular model, although he was having a feeling he was cheating on him.

And Il-seong…he was single and wasn’t a flirt.

That was why I said especially Il-seong.

We rehearsed the song I composed and after a week, we recorded it and it was released.

Kan and his crew didn’t participate, of course, but it was a big blast. The duet was a success and it hit the Internet big!

Wow!

I was given a sum of 30 million dollars and a brand new car by Bighit Records as a welcome token.

It was incredible.

On Saturday, which was the day BTS were meant to return, I spent the time with Il-seong, Kwan and Kwon in the room and they were drinking, celebrating to my success. Although, I just drank a non alcoholic wine.

They danced and partied and I joined them in the dancing later on.

When we had become tired, we fell on the bed, breathing and laughing heavily.

Then, Il-seong took the TV remote and changed the channel and the channel that was being played was a video of the one of the concerts BTS had held in Spain where they currently went.

It showed them on stage, singing and free styling with Jungkook taking the lead role and It was crazy how the fans were screaming and dying for them.

They were all jumping and stretching out their hands, wishing BTS would touch them.

Surprisingly, Jungkook while singing, lowered down a bit and was able to touch the hand of one of the fans jumping and stretching. And to ultimate surprise, when he touched her, she screamed and collapsed and was quickly rushed out.

What? Is this how crazy fans are?

“Awwn. Did you see that?” Il-seong asked with a smile, not directing the question to any of us in particular.

Geez! I can’t believe this was the same guy I slept with.

*

I spent a long time with them and guessing I had to check up on Molly, I decided to leave.

As I sat in the back seat, heading home, I thought about Jungkook.

What If they’re back? I can’t imagine seeing him all the time because it brings back the memories of everything that had happened between us.

Oh, God! How do I face him? I’m afraid my stay in that mansion is beginning to feel impossible for me.

I was in a ruminative mood the whole time until we finally got home and when we did, I noticed the Bangtan Boys were just returning. As a matter of fact, the gate which had been opened for them to drive in was still open before we drove in as well.

I looked through the window and saw Jungkook coming out of his own car, dressed in a white v – neck shirt and pair of white trousers, looking so cute.

Oh! How I’ve missed him. If only things were different.

Slowly, I opened my car door and came out of the car and they all turned to look at me.

“Jimin!” Taehyung called immediately and waited for me to get close.

I smiled nervously and drew closer to them.

“Look who’s looking cuter” he added when I got close and he embraced me.

Oh-oh.

Jungkook was watching.

“Good day, hyung. Welcome back” I said to him and turned to Seokjin and Hoseok who had also gotten close.

Jungkook was still behind, counting his steps.

“Welcome home, hyungs” I said to Seokjin and Hoseok with a bow.

“Jimin,” Hoseok called and I looked at him.

“You need to get rid of this *hyung* stuff, okay? You’re now one of us. You can start addressing us by our names” he said and I just smiled and bowed.

“You’re looking good, Jimin”: Seokjin said with a little smile and walked into the house.

Oh! Is that so?

Well, I decided to heed to Il-seong’s advice and change my mood of dressing and it seems it’s working out.

It’s not like I left my body exposed or something, I just leant to dress more brightly.

Hoseok waved at me and also walked in.

“Congratulations, Jimin, on your success” Taehyung said and I smiled.

“Thank you h…”

“Taehyung” he cut me off and I smiled.

“Thank you, Taehyung” I corrected myself and that was when Jungkook got close.

Taehyung winked at me and also left, leaving just I and Jungkook.

I bit the inside of my cheeks as Jungkook stood in front of me, having a tranquil expression.

Oh, God! I don’t know how much longer I can keep up with these.
The suspense I get whenever he’s close to me; it’s killing.

“Hey,” he called softly and I tried to smile.

“Um…good day, hyung. And welcome home” I replied and forced myself to look at his face.

Oh, my God! He had a new tattoo!

Yes, on his neck, right above the first one.

And…It was the drawing of a letter J.

Huh?

“Jimin,” he called and I gulped nervously and took my eyes to the floor. “Will you be busy tonight?” He asked and I flinched.

Why’s he asking?

“N…Not really” I stuttered a reply and he breathed out softly.

“Can you go out on a date with me, please?” He asked and my heart skipped.

What? Jungkook is asking me out on a date??

And he even said please!

I looked at him, speechless for some time. He was staring back at me.

Then, after gulping for the umpteenth time, I nodded slowly and he sighed.

“Okay. I’ll pick you up by 7. Thanks” he replied and walked in and as soon as he left, I held my cheeks to be sure I wasn’t dreaming.

Oh, my God! Did Jungkook really ask me out on a date?

Oh, geez!!!
