Jimin's POV

"So, how did it went?" Jin hyung asked after I came back from the office.

A sigh escaped on my lips as I plunged my body on the couch,  tired of all the things that I had to deal with earlier.

Bang PD called me and he heard what happened.

He found out what I had to do for my senior so he also called him in his office.

The tension between us was too strong I had to keep reminding myself that he's my senior and I need to respect him.

His manager has been fired as well and I swear he was about to cry begging not to.

I was so glad everything has been settled and I'm relieved that Bang PD is now okay.

Everything should have been fine.

But Bang PD talked to me about my relationship with Chaeng.

Apparently,  a lot of reporters have been ringing our company phone wanting to confirm if I am dating either Seulgi or Chaeng.

I wanted to confirm my relationship to Chaeng so bad but Bang PD said otherwise.

He thought our relationship is better to be hidden at this point.

"Yah Jimin..." I turned my head and noticed all the boys looking at me.

"It's fine. Everything's good and sunbae's manager was even fired." I muttered and Yoongi smirked.

"Serves him right. But I hope sunbae apologizes as well. What he did isn't right and I hope Seulgi also realizes her mistakes. She's your friend and I know Red Velvet and Blackpink were friends too." Jin hyung stated.

I washed my face with my hands.

I haven't spoken with Seulgi since last time. I can't because I don't want to have any reason for Chaeng to be upset again.

She had cried enough and I don't want to see her crying anymore.

It's killing me.

"Hey, are you sure everything's fine?" Taehyung sat beside me.

I looked at him and everyone.

I guess I can tell them this time.

"Bang PD wants me to stop seeing Chaeng in the meantime," I told them and they all looked worried for me.

"Well, you can't blame him. Your relationship with her is not going unnoticed especially after all these recent scandals that are going on." Hobi hyung added.

"Hyung, did you check sns today?" Jungkook called my attention.

"No,  why?" I asked him confused.

"Did you gave your favourite black sweatshirt to your girlfriend?" he asked raising his eyebrows

I nodded in response.

I gave it to Chaeng last time because I can't let her go out wearing sexy clothes.

Just thinking about how many men were ogling on my girl males my blood boil.

I know that she's an idol and it's normal for her to wear those clothes but I just can't help it.

"Well, I don't know who from her team uploaded photos of her wearing that but apparently, our Armys noticed," he said,  a matter of fact and I grunted.

I forgot to tell Chaeng about it. But of course,  I don't blame her.

If it's just me, I'd like it more if she will just be wearing my clothes.

Jungkook handed me his phone and saw the photo.

It was a candid shot and she looks stunning.

I can't help but be proud that she's mine.

My brows furrowed after I noticed a few photos of me and Chaeng with our necklace focused.

Shit.

Our wedding rings.

"Jimin, I knew Taehyung had asked about it but do you and Chaeng have a promise ring?"

I gulped at what Yoongi hyung had asked.

No. Those are our wedding rings. Well,  I can't tell them that.

I might get into trouble for this but,  whatever. I need to say another lie.

"It is," I confirmed and they all nodded.

"Then you two needs to be careful. You very well know how fans are. They will soon found out." Taehyung interjected.

"And you need to talk to Chaeng about Bang PD's decision. You don't want this to cause another conflict between you two." Jin hyung added.

Right.

I have to call Chaeng about it.

It will be hard not seeing her from time to time but I guess we need to do this. I know she's getting a lot of hate from this as well.

She's having a hard time but I know she will never admit it.

I pulled out my phone and decided to call Chaeng.

My brows furrowed.

Why isn't she answering?

After a few more rings, I sigh in relief once the call got answered.

"Chaeng, babe. I nee-" my voice was cut off when I heard some noise from the background.

"Chaeng?" I bolted up from my seat.

I am sure someone was crying on the background.

"Sunbae..."

A voice spoke from the background.

"Lisa?" I asked confused. "Is that Chaeng?"

I felt my stomach grumbling in nervousness.

"Ne. She won't stop crying," she said a little worried...

"Why is she crying?" I stood up from my seat and made my way to the front door as I try to get a pair of shoes.

"I don't know if I should tell you. Chaeng might get mad," she muttered.

"I'll give you Jungkook's number," I told her. I very well knew she had been pestering Chaeng for our maknae's number.

"She lost her necklace!!!" she immediately exclaimed.

Shoot.

"Okay. I'll head down to your dorm." I told her before I ended the call.

"Where are you going, hyung?" Jungkook called and I turned my back and noticed that they all followed me in the front door.

I bent down and tied my shoes.

"I need to go to Chaeng." I told them.

"But you heard what Bang Pd said right?" 

I grunt at what Namjoon hyung said.

Shit.

I almost forgot about that. Hearing Chaeng cry made me lost my mind for a second.

I felt my heart clenched and it is hurting me as well..

I turned around and looked at them in desperation.

"Just this once, please?  She needs me right now." I pleaded.

I heard them sigh.

"Be back before midnight. And make sure to settle everything. Remember, this isn't just about the two of you anymore." Namjoon hyung explained.

The boys looked at me sadly as if sympathizing at my situation.

I quickly made my way to their dorm.

My entire travel time was nerve-wracking. One part of me wants to see her immediately so I can comfort her and the other was a little scared because a few people are looking at my direction.

I hope they don't recognize me.

I run towards the elevator on their building and not long enough I was already knocking outside their room.

As if they were expecting me to arrive, the door immediately opened at my second knock.

"Sunbae." Lisa opened the door for me and I immediately went in.

My heart broke into pieces once I saw Chaeng sitting on the floor,  her back on the couch while her arms wrapped around her knees covering her face.

"Chaeng..." I called her name and a sharp pained crossed my chest at the sight of her.

Her cheeks were stained with tears and her eyes were red and swollen.

Once her eyes landed on me,  her cries got louder. She's now bawling her eyes out.

"Oppaaa!" she cried calling for me and I rushed towards her and wrapped her around my arms.

She doesn't normally call me oppa so something is definitely wrong.

"Hey..." I cooed her as I rubbed her back to keep her calm.

"My-hck-my neck-hck-my necklace," she said, her words are unclear due to her continuous crying.

But of course,  I knew what she meant. She's talking about the ring.

"I know,  I know. Don't worry about it. We'll get a new one." I comforted her.

"But it's not the same! And that's ours!" she cried harder.

"Chaeng.." I whispered.

Her body is shaking.

I got scared for a moment because it seems like she's having a breakdown.

"I know-I know you're mad at me," she added.

"No. Of course not! Why would I get mad at you? I love you too much to get mad because of that." I told her and hug her tighter.

She seems to calm down a little but she still continued crying.

"But I still want my ring," she grunted.

I laughed at her actions.

"I will buy you a new one. Okay? Stop crying."

I moved my body away from her and tuck the hair covering her face.

I wiped the tears on her cheeks.

Beautiful.

She looks like a mess but my heart still beats so fast with just the sight of her. And regardless if her eyes were swollen and she's not wearing any makeup,  she still lools breathtaking.

If you only know what you're making me feel right now. I told myself.

She just pouted at me as she still continued to cry, this time,  silently.

"How about this? Go and freshen up in your room and I'll wait for you here in the living room. We'll go out on a date." I smiled at her and I swear I saw stars glitter on her eyes.

"I'll bring you to my favourite place," I added and she clasped her hands together and looked at me like a child.

"Like a date?" she asked a little giddy and I just nodded while smiling.

She really is adorable.

"Yey!" she cheered and gave me a quick peck on the lips before she quickly runs towards her room.

My cheeks flushed on her actions and I felt shy when I heard Lisa chuckles.

"You are so whipped,  sunbae." she muttered and I just scratched the back of my head.

Park Chaeyoung, what are you doing to me?
