"Caught you my little turtle."

The air in my lungs seemed to be vanishing when I heard him right behind me. I froze on the spot and couldn't turn around.

"So finally, you are free enough to meet me," he said, holding my arms and gently turning me around.

My heart started thumping hard against my chest when my eyes met his warm orbs. I didn't know how to react, but I was sure that I didn't want myself to look like this in front of him.

"I didn't come here to meet you." I scoffed.

"Why were you hiding from me?" He asked tugging a strand of my hair behind my ear.

My eyes widened slightly, and my cheeks reddened as I found it hard to maintain my composure. "W-what? I was n-not!"

Why the fuck did I have to stutter?

I heard a snicker beside me and saw Hana trying hard not to laugh. I glared at her. Closing my eyes, I cursed in my head.

I then heard Jimin chuckle. "You surely don't know how to even lie."

I cleared my throat. "You say like you have a master's degree in lying." Those words unexpectedly left my mouth and I saw a shift in his eyes. I saw his smile wavering but still, he tried to maintain his calm demeanor.

I felt bad and panicked a little as I didn't mean to offend him like this. Those words left my mouth subconsciously. But I chose to ignore it.

"Why did you want to meet?" I said diverting the topic and asking the first thing I could think of.

"Do I need a reason to meet my fiancée?" He said being flirty. I felt heat rush to my cheeks as I tried hard to keep the corner of my lips in place. I was glad his mood was lightened.

I rolled my eyes at him, and I was aware that I did that so he wouldn't find out about his effect on me. That's when I heard the sound of someone clearing their throat and looked beside me to find Hana looking at us with an awkward smile.

"I should leave now." She said bowing and then fled from the scene. I looked at her figure disappearing.

"So, shall we go now?" I looked at him as he said that, and a frown creased on my forehead.

"Where? I am not going anywhere. I was heading home."

"Come with me." He said persistently. "Where?"

"You'll know. Just come with me" he said grabbing my hands and leading us out of the building. 

"At least tell me where you are taking me." My voice grew impatient as now we were standing in front of his car.

He opened his car's door for me and gestured for me to get in. I crossed my arms over my chest and tilted my head. "Not until you tell me."

He let out a sigh. "So stubborn, aren't you?" He spoke.

"Yes, I am, so what? What are you going to do about that?"

He ran his hand through his hair and closed his eyes for a moment taking a deep breath as if trying to calm himself down.

"Please!"

I decided not to piss him any further and sat in the car quietly. He went over to his seat, sat in, and started to drive to God knows where.

There was a silence lingering inside the car, that felt too hard to break. Until something clicked in my mind. "And who's a turtle?" I asked eyeing him sharply.

He let out a chuckle before saying, "Of course it's you!"

Hearing his answer, I couldn't help myself but throw fits. "Park Jimin, you are unbelievable! Didn't you find any better nickname?"

"But that suits you the best." He replied so innocently. "And in what senses?"

"That you already know." He looked at me teasingly, grinning from ear to ear. 

I huffed in fury and turned my head away from him, finding it hard to keep up with his teasing. 

Not so long after, I heard him speak. "Just admit my effect on you. Even though you are angry, you can't help blushing when I am around." I looked at him to see him smirking with pride.

"Haha, what a joke! Don't think too highly of yourself. It's just your face looks too funny not to laugh at." I mocked. I wouldn't let him take my pride down easily!

I heard him laugh. He laughed so hard that his eyes nearly disappeared, and I was captivated by the surreal beauty in front of my eyes. He looked so pure while laughing and that made my heart race. It felt like I was caught in a kind of trance for a few seconds as I didn't even blink my eyes and I didn't even notice the huge smile on my face.

"Then I am thankful to have such a funny face that could make you smile like an idiot." He said smiling while looking ahead, making my heart run a marathon.

I looked in the rear-view mirror and caught an embarrassing glimpse of my idiotic smile. Using my hands, I pressed my cheeks together, but the smile wouldn't go away. I then heard another laugh. Glaring at him. I crossed my arms and looked out of the window; a pout unknowingly formed on my lips.

There was a silence of about a few minutes and I found myself calming down and noticed how there was a small smile on my lips as I stared at the reflection of Jimin in the rear-view mirror.

"I know that I am handsome."

I felt my heart skip a beat. 

Rolling my eyes at him, I spoke, "Don't start again." I saw how a huge grin was plastered on his face as he was smiling uncontrollably. He was enjoying teasing me. 

"I haven't started anything yet, but I can if you want me to." That's it.

I didn't dare to look at my reflection in the rear-view mirror as I already knew I must have become a tomato.

My heart stopped beating when Jimin stopped the car unexpectedly. Frozen in my seat, I saw him unbuckling his seatbelt. After doing so, he looked at me.

"Just wait a bit. I'll be back in a minute." He opened his car door. "Where are you going?" He stopped and looked at me, then pointed at the pharmacy shop ahead of the car. I let out a small 'oh' before he went out. What possibly he could buy from that shop? I let this question get out of my head as I looked down at my wristwatch to see the time.

It was 8 at night. I sighed as my stomach grumbled.

But suddenly, my eyes went a bit wide as I realized that till now Jimin was in my company, and he might have not eaten anything yet from the time he came. I don't exactly remember when he came but it has been a pretty long time since that.

My heart was saddened at the realization that he waited for me the whole day, being an extremely busy person himself. I felt a bit sorry knowing I could have at least met him so that wouldn't have to wait for so long. He had to sit in that busy and crowded reception area because of me. And that too so quietly. He didn't even bother me again.

And that Hana, couldn't inform me earlier that he was still there.

Just then I saw Jimin approaching the car. As he sat in, he started to put on his seatbelt.

"Did you wait for me the whole day? Sitting in the reception area?" I asked with a gentle voice. 

"Yes." He replied as if it was not a big deal and continued to do what he was doing.

I didn't extend this further and asked him about something else instead. "What's that?" I asked pointing at the small bag he just bought. 

"It's some medicines." He spoke. "For you?" I asked.

"Yes." He replied. 

"Why?" I felt like I was asking too much. "Just some painkillers."

 I just replied with an 'oh' to his answer.

The way he replied so shortly, it seemed like he didn't want to talk about it anymore, so I didn't push it further.

The rest of the ride was quiet, and I didn't even glance at him once knowing that I'd end up staring hard.

Soon, he stopped the car in front of a restaurant. Getting out of the car quickly and coming over to my side, he opened the door for me. I rolled my eyes at him. I still was stubborn to let go of my grudges for him.

Stepping outside, we walked side by side towards the entrance of the restaurant. I felt him gently taking hold of my hand. 

If it was yesterday, I would have jerked his hands away as I was mad. But now, I no longer felt anger towards him. Instead, I felt my heart thumping loudly against my heart at his touch.
