Rosé POV

"You sure you're okay?" Jennie asked me while she feels my forehead.

We have a performance later in M!Countdown but I'm not feeling really well.

But of course,  I can't let this little cold and slight fever get in the way. We worked hard for this.

We're now promoting Square Two.

"It's okay. I can do this." I cheered while looking at the three girls who's all staring at me worriedly.

We're now dressed in our performance outfits.

"Here,  drink this." our manager gave me a medicine which I took and quickly drink.

"You're on in ten."

One of the pd's came into our room to inform us so the girls and I all stood up to get ready. Then,  we went our way to the studio where we will be recording.

Once we arrive,  we occupied the empty seats on the audience that are allotted for idols during rehearsals.

Then,  a familiar sound echoed across the room.

I looked up and saw BTS performing.

I almost forgot. They are now promoting their new song which is a masterpiece.

The girls and I had watched the music video and it is definitely a work of art.

Soon enough,  my eyes landed on Jimin who's doing his opening part on Blood,  Sweat, and Tears.

I gulped.

Isn't it illegal to look that hot and sexy? I mean, why does he need to show his skin like that?

That flirt.

Unknowingly, I started to get pissed off again.

Wait,  why are you even bothered by it? It's not like he's really into a relationship with you. Plus,  that's his job.

It must be the meds. I'm starting to think weirdly.

"Yah,  look at our sunbaenims. They really are amazing!" Lisa dreamily exclaimed.

"I wish I can dance like them." Jisoo unnie added.

"You dance really well,  unnie." Jennie told her.

My eyes went back to the stage, particularly to Jimin. I felt my whole world stopped when I saw him glanced in my direction.

It was brief but I thought I saw him smirk after his eyes landed back to the camera.

Fuck, did he saw me checking him out?

"Did you saw Jimin sunbae smirk after looking at you?" Jennie asked me.

"I'm not sure. I wasn't looking."

Jennie's brow furrowed. '"Liar. You used to have a crush on him." she whispered.

My eyes went wide.

"I did not!" I told her as I hit her shoulders lightly.

She chuckled. "Whatever you say Chaeng."

Then,  the four of us stood up when their turn ended.

We're up.

While we walk up to the stage, BTS walked towards our direction to get back to their dressing room.

I bowed once our sunbaes walked past us. Before I can even climb the stairs to follow the girls,  I felt Jimin's hand slipped into mine and got me a little startled.

"Goodluck," he whispered not even looking.

I was about to move forward when I felt him pull me back a little.

I looked around and sigh in relief when I saw that no one was looking at us.

I looked at him and was about to hiss when he suddenly felt my forehead.

"You're hot. Are you sick?" he asked. I was taken aback because he looked so worried like he really cared.

I pushed his hands off me afraid that someone might see us.

We can't afford to have a scandal right now. 

"I'm fine. I need to go." then I bowed once more and took off to the stage.

"Hey,  what took you so long?" Jisoo unnie asked.

"Nothing,  I just fixed my dress a little."

After a few minutes,  we started doing our performance.

I am glad we're just sitting on our song Stay because I was getting a little dizzy after we did Playing with Fire.

Once we ended our performance,  I can already feel the drops of sweat on my forehead so I walked a little faster so I can be out of the stage.

"Hi, you were amazing there. I'm a fan!" I was caught off-guard when I saw V sunbae cheering for me.

I looked around and saw Namjoon and Jimin behind him. Jimin looked like he's so done with his groupmates.

I noticed that we were just outside their dressing room while ours is still on the farther side of the hallway.

If I wasn't really feeling unwell, I would probably fangirl in front of these guys.

Suddenly. The room felt like spinning, I had to grab the nearest chair beside me for support. And before I even knew it, Jimin had grabbed my arm. I looked up and saw him a little pissed but his eyes looked like he was worried.

"I knew it. You're sick," he muttered as if scolding me. His left arm landed on my forehead and I swear I heard him curse.

"Yah, Rosé-ssi, are you okay?" Namjoon asked as I try to stand properly.

"Ne sunbae. I apologize for worrying you" 

I tried to stand still while Jimin's hands are still on my arms.

"I'll accompany you to your dressing room," he said firmly.

"No. I'm fine Jimin sunbaenim." I said as I look at the other two who were just gawking at both of us,

"Where are your group mates?"

"They stayed a little to greet our fans," I said shyly as I play with hands.

"Stop being stubborn and let me go with you," he said as his hand landed on my back so we can move forward but after my third step, my knees gave up and my body almost crashed into the ground if not for Jimin. 

"Aissst." he muttered but I was caught off-guard when he suddenly lifted me up bridal-style.

"Yah Jimin!" I hear Namjoon.

"Sunbae, please put me down," I said in a panic.

People might see us like this.

"Cover your face," he said which I did.

Then he just walked towards our dressing room's direction.

I had to catch my breath because I can smell his perfume.

How does he smell this good after they danced real hard earlier?

My heart started beating so fast. I haven't been really close to him like this before.

"Yah, V, open the door." I heard Jimin.

Then I felt my body landed on the soft couch. 

I opened my eyes and saw Jimin removing his jacket as he covers my legs.
Right,  I was wearing a skirt.

Then I saw V sunbae coming closer with a pillow on his hand before he gave it to Jimin.

I tried to sit down but Jimin hit me lightly on my arm.

"Don't sit. Here,  lift your head a little." then,  he put the pillow on my head.

"Thanks, sunbae,  I'm okay. You and V sunbae can go back. The girls will soon arrive."

"Don't worry about us Rosé-ssi. I'm afraid Jimin here would flip if we don't make sure you're fine." V sunbae said meaningfully as he looked at me and Jimin.

I looked at Jimin and saw him glaring at V sunbae.

"Please don't misunderstand sunbae." my left hand landed on my lower lip,  a habit I came to develop.

"Oh, you're so cute." I blushed as V sunbae flashed his rectangular smile.

I laughed a little when he looked away once Jimin glared at him.

Unintentionally,  a yawn escaped my lips. It may be because of the medicines that I took earlier.

"Stop flirting with each other. Try to get some sleep. I'll stay here until your girls arrive." I closed my eyes unable to handle the drowsiness that is eating me. 

"Hmmm,.." A groan escaped on my lips when I felt someone brushing my hair with his hands.

It feels so comforting, soothing. And it makes me wanna go to sleep.

Soon enough, I was off to the dreamland but before the darkness eats me, I heard a soothing voice whispered on my ear.

"Sleep tight, princess..."
