Taking slow and heavy steps, Eunhi knocks on Taehyung's door, breath hitching and heart racing at incompatible speed.

Taehyung opens the door, and glance at Eunhi, brows furrowed as he looks here and there, for the sight of his best friend.

"Eunhi, where is Jimin?"

"I don't know! He just ran away leaving me behind!" Eunhi exclaimed, clenching her hands into a fist.

"What? Why?" Taehyung now looks tensed. From behind him, Namjoon, and Hoseok appear, with balloons and party poppers in their hands.

Eunhi takes a step in and closes the door behind her, glaring at the three men while leaning onto the door.

-------

"And he just left, telling me to go home." She said, looking down at the carpet as the other men listen carefully to the whole story.

"I've tried a dozen times...he isn't picking up." Jungkook whispers worriedly, as everyone looks a bit horrified.

While Taehyung seems normal.

He just lays back on the bed, arms crossed under his head and staring at the ceiling, as if lost in a deep thought.

Time passes, two hours.. three hours... four hours...

Jimin doesn't come back.

Eunhi looks up at the wall clock, now her adrenaline pumping at a higher pace and mind lost in horrible thoughts.

"When will he come back? It's already 6! You guys should go and look for him!" After breaking the silence, Eunhi collects all her strength to yell at the boys, who were sitting on the floor.

"He will come back. Jimin told me he had some important stuff to finish.." Taehyung assures, gaining a nod from the rest.

"Don't worry Eunhi..he mostly has stuff and he just vanishes. We've been used to this." Hoseok says, getting up and roaming around, eyes constantly on the main door.

"What is the stuff he has to do?" Eunhi asks, focusing on the word 'stuff'.

"Some important things. He doesn't like to share." Taehyung yawns, lazily scrolling through his phone.

The day is about to end. It's 8 and Jimin still hasn't come back. Now a look of worry takes over everyone's face as they get up and move out of the room, one by one.

"We can't stay here for long. We have to leave in half an hour" Jin sighs, glaring at his wrist watch.

"Wait guys.. I'm sure he will come back in no time. Let's play jenga!" Taehyung beams as he brings a box and everyone sigh.

Eunhi lets out a frustrated sigh as she gets up from the chair and stomps out of the room, earning a gasp from the boys.

"Where are you going?" Jungkook's voice booms in the silence and Eunhi turns back, "I'll be back."

She reaches her own room and takes out the keys from her back pocket. Shuffling through the various keys, she inserts one small key into the keyhole and opens the door.

Staring around the empty lobby, she grits her teeth as she doesn't find those black boots that Jimin wore in the morning. Nor anything specific, signalling his existence right now.

Lips turning into a frown and mind filled with devastated thoughts, Eunhi falters to her room, but adruptly stops when she hears a voice....

Of a shower?

The sound of water running and pouring onto the marble floor was crystal clear. Her heart booms with mixed feelings of nervousness and satisfaction.

'Is Jimin home?'

Taking a deep breath and slowly crawling to the other room, she touches the cold door knob and twists it, perplexed emotions taking over her mind.

Peeping inside the room with no sign of Jimin, she shifts her gaze from the bed to the window. Then she stares at the bathroom door, where the pitter-patter of droplets pouring could be heard a minute ago, but now it's completely still.

Heart beating loudly, Eunhi hesitantly  walks near the bathroom, where her gaze falls onto a pile of clothes, messily thrown on the floor.

'Are those Jimin's clothes?'

The voice in her head stops her from going far, but she just shrugs and takes slow steps to the bathroom door, beads of sweat forming on her forehead because of tension.

"J-Jimin...are you there?"

Hearing no response, she shuts her eyes closed and pushed the small door open with a small creak.

Nothing.

The bathroom was empty and there were no signs of anyone. Eunhi gulps as she pulls the door back and shuts it, with a small click.

Sighing in both relief and frustration, Eunhi turns back..

only to get pushed against the cold cement wall.

A small sqeal escapes her mouth as she tightly shuts her eyes, terror-struck.

A hot breath brushes her face as she inhales the familiar scent of cologne that usually overtakes the room, and she gulps before slightly opening her lids.

The handsome hunk, aka Park Jimin was leaning against her, face inches away as his hot breath swoons over her nose and forehead, sending chills down her whole body.

She awkwardly looks up to meet the piercing gaze of the boy, whose wet bangs were stuck on his forehead, plump lips parted as he slowly breathed, eyes glued to Eunhi's eyes.

"I-I..." Eunhi protests to get away, but Jimin holds her shoulder as he drastically traps her between his veiny arms. Her cheeks redden at his sudden action as she felt her heart beating like crazy, like she has run a marathon.

Glancing at his bare hands, Eunhi's eyes widen when she realises he's not wearing a shirt, only a white towel hung around his neck.. protecting his upper body, and a loose pair of sweats hung around his thin waist.

"May I know why were you sneaking into my room, miss?" He whispers lowly, his deep Busan satoori accompanying his voice, making it a hundred times more sensual.

"Um, I- I was just looking for y-you.. because you were missing.." Eunhi barely whispers, being a victim of his trap.

"Hmm..." Jimin responds, "sneaking into a guy's room is not good... especially when he is not around." His low, husky voice beams, as he smirks.

Eunhi slowly nods before looking around, anywhere but his face. A strange tingling sensation arises in her tummy, that she had never felt before.

He releases the girl from his trap and chuckles before clutching the wet towel and throwing it on the bed, running a hand through his half-wet half-dry, silky locks.

"J-Jimin.." Eunhi mumbles, as Jimin turns around to look at her. "Yes?"

"Do you know what day is it?" She now peeks at his back, as the latter slides down a black shirt over his tanned skin, and nods. "It's Saturday. Why do you ask?"

"N-no.. I mean-"

"JIMIN-AH!"

"I'M GOING TO WHOOP YOUR ASS!"

"YOU SHORT RAT!"

Suddenly loud voices barges in as both of them turn around to see the five men, glaring angrily at Jimin.

"What happened guys!?" Jimin suddenly steps back in shock as Taehyung hops and jumps over him, making him stumble back but holding Taehyung in his arms tightly.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY JIMIN-AH!!!!!"

All the grown up men shout out as they barge in the room and jump over each other, burying Jimin down into the ground and piling over him.

"I can't breathe!!" The muffled voice shrieks from below as they swiftly get up, laughing and joking as they pick Jimin from the ground and throw him onto the bed.

"Argh!" He groans as he buries his face in the sheets and turns around, "wait! Let me say thanks!"

"You punk!" Jin starts and everyone sighs as they realise a rap battle is going to start.

"Did you even realise how we prepared so much for you and you're just ignoring us and forgetting everything! Do you have any manners?" He spits out and Jimin chuckles nervously, "yeah I really forgot...thank you-"

His gaze suddenly falls on the maknae as he looks at him from top to bottom and realise that he is standing on his own feet!

"Jungkook-ah! You're standing yourself!" He gets up and hugs the younger, engulfing him into his embrace. "Yeah hyung..happy birthday."

Jimin smiles as he ruffles Jungkook's hair and looks around at everyone.

"Thank you so much. I really forgot it's my birthday today. I had to go because of an emergency and I just came back."

"Forget it. Let's celebrate since we have some time left!" Hoseok chimes as he hugs Jimin.

"It's been so long...happy birthday Jimin-ah..sorry that we didn't get to celebrate all these past years." He whispers in his ear as Jimin rubs his back.

"It's okay, I'm blessed to have all of you..you guys are my everything!"

Jimin glances at Eunhi, who was smiling at them, lost in her emotions.

"I'm sorry Eunhi.." Jimin steps forward, reaching out to the girl.

"For what?" Eunhi's eyes widen.

"For making you shook just now.." he whispers and Eunhi's lips curve into a smile, burning the anger and embarrassment into ashes and giving rise to a wide grin.

"It's okay, happy birthday." She says and all the boys scream behind them.

Namjoon clears his throat as he looks away, "ah, let's go to Taehyung and Jungkook's room. We're having a party there."

"Really? For me?"

"No, for your grandfather."

They laugh before storming out of the room and into the lobby, and Jimin sighs as a tear escapes his eye.

He was crying...

But these were the tears of joy.
