BTS Caretaker ( BTS x OC)

Chapter 106: Quandary IV

Time passes quickly, as in it's early September already? The date of BTS Love Yourself is set to be released in mid-September. For once she wished to slow down the time, so she could have more time in hand before making the biggest decision in her life.

Truth to be told, Jungkook and Yoongi did not show any obvious flirting towards her lately. Thankfully, they were giving her some space for herself to think and reflect. Oblivious by the situation would be Jimin. Part of her was grateful that Jimin seemed to have lost his interest in her romantically yet she couldn't help but to wander what changed him.

Jimin treated her more like a best friend or sister. The drastic change in him really triggers her curiosity, though she's dying to inquire him about them, but she refrained the urge from embarrassing herself in front of Jimin.

That day she had decided to visit their place after her shift ended in the evening, more like she wanted to avoid Mr Kwon at all cost. She had purposely taken morning shift these days to avoid him. Considering he'd showed at the oddest time of the day, Seul found it is safer to work during the day. It is safer to do so.

The rapper line was not home yet as they were still in the studio, whilst Jimin and Jungkook were in their respective rooms doing their own things. As for Jin, he's lazing on the couch watching random shows while playing with Odeng and Eomuk.

"Do you think Jiminie want to eat this mango pudding?" she hollered from the kitchen.

Jin tilted his head, as his finger stroke Eomuk head gently "Not sure but you can ask him" Seul nodded and closed the fridge, placing the pudding inside the glass bowl. She handed Jin the extra bowl before making his way to Jimin and Hoseok shared room.

She entered the room quietly afraid that the adorable guy was sleeping or doing something important. Seul spotted his small figure under the cover with his back facing the door. Giggling lowly, she took careful step to his bed, and sat on it.

"Jiminie.." she poked his back causing the latter to jump in surprise. "Goodness Jimin! Why are you so jumpy?!" she managed to catch his expensive phone in her hand, shooting him a judgemental look.

"Ji Seul! That is not funny!" he hissed.

"I didn't do anything to scare you unless you are watching something illegal and dirty that I must not see. Now, let me see what is inside" the corner of her lips was tugged into a mischievous smirk. Realizing what Seul about to do, his eye shot opened as he charged towards the girl to take back his phone.

"Hey, don't play dirty. Let me see what you are watching!" she stuck her tongue out and escaped from Jimin side to stand few feet away from his bed. She pressed her back against the wall and stared at the screen, baffled.

Seul was fascinated by the content beyond the screen "Give back my phone!" Jimin puffed his cheeks and grabbed his precious phones from Seul. However, it was too late to stop her, she saw everything.

"Jimin I have no idea that you are into that kind of thing" Seul looked to Jimin, confusion in her eyes. Feeling alarmed, Jimin sunk on his bed, rubbing his sweaty palm together nervously. His puffy cheeks turned rosy and it came to her realization, there's more of the story than just an action out of curiosity.

It couldn't be that right? Seul blinked, gazing at shy Jimin.

Her throat was aching to ask him that one question which invaded her mind few minutes ago. As absurd as it sounds, she must open to any possibility right. Anything is possible. Love does not have gender, it's about the person that you love.

Okay..Ji Seul. Go for it. It is now or never. She mustered up her courage and cleared her throat.

"Jimin, do you like Jungkook?"

Flustered by the questions, Jimin stammered between his words "Y-ah..What kind of question is that? O..f course I like Jungkook" he avoided her gaze as his fingers fiddled at the hem of his pyjamas.

"Do you love Jungkook?"

He felt someone was choking him on the throat, yet he tried to remain calm in his seat, something that he failed to do since start. "He is my friend and a brother to me! Of course, I love Jungkook!" he exclaimed a little annoyed.

"Do you love Jungkook more than just a friend and a brother?" she observed his dark expression. Jimin was about to explode in embarrassment and anger, either one of it proved to her that he saw Jungkook more than just a friend.

"Ji Seul! What nonsense is this?!" he grinded his teeth together. "You out of people understand that I like you" she sighed inwardly.

"You like me, but you love Jungkook" Seul's persistence drove him up the wall.

"YA JI SEUL!" he hissed angrily.

Seul settled on the bed sitting cross-legged, facing her figure to his direction "Okay, tell me something. I caught you reading a manhwa, which happened to be your story with Jungkook. Dude, this is a boyxboy stuff! How can I un-see this?" she watched him in amazement.

Jimin lowered his head at stared at his feet "Fuck. Stop saying nonsense. I am str-aight..I am not into man" he defended himself.

"But you are into Jungkook.." she sassed without giving the guy a break.

"I am into you" Jimin corrected.

"No, you are not. In fact, now I remember when you called me a bitch. You meant it. Bitch, stay away from my Jungkook. Is that what you are trying to convey?" Seul used her smart brain to patch the obvious signal to corner the poor man.

Jimin clenched the bedsheet with a small grunt "Seul, are you drunk. Stop assuming things that you don't know!" he pleaded as if his life depended on it.
