chapter seventeen.

𝐉𝐀𝐄𝐇𝐘𝐔𝐍𝐆 𝐖𝐇𝐄𝐍 𝐒𝐏𝐄𝐄𝐂𝐇𝐋𝐄𝐒𝐒 as mina being straightforward rejected his offer a ride to send her home. his eyes follows mina who's turning at jimin, half asleep.

she smacked his arms, "i wanted to go with you."

jaehyung roll his eyes when he sees jimin's sleepy eyes directly went wide open as soon as mina, who's shamelessly ask him to go together.

jimin glances at jaehyung who's clearly not happy with the situation, "you what? i don't hear you that clearly."

"you heard me." mina raises her eyebrows, walking away passing by jaehyung who's still watching yet, not letting any words coming out.

jimin smiles, following her trail and turns at jaehyung with his typical smirk. when the two was gone, jaehyung sighed and sat on one seat nearby.

it's nearly two year she worked here with him yet, he never get to tell her his real feelings. like, just look at her action. doesn't it obvious that she hate dating and romantic stuff?

but sadly, he never gets to walk away from her side. whenever she's on the hardest time, he gets this feeling that he has to help her. but now? she already get all the mans chasing her.

meanwhile, mina and jimin who just got off the bus stunned in their both places. mina have nowhere to go. especially when she doesn't want to face her family.

mina sighed, taking out her phone and accidentally opened it on. which a big mistakes. jimin turns at her, "is this really a way to your home?"

mina clears her throat, "no." she proceed to wall somewhere or anywhere her feets taking her.

jimin catches up her pace with a frown, "then why did you stopped here?" jimin ask, quickly stopping her by blocking her way on the front.

mina looks up at him and turns away. she hates telling people about stuff like, what's the point of telling them? it's not like it'll make her feel better anyway.

"i don't want to go home."

with that, mina steps aside and walk pass him. making jimin frozen there to get his thoughts together. then, it hits him. he rans up to her, "is it because you're afraid that minki's mother will be there?"

he asks. mina stops walking. the way sometimes he can read her mind like a book without needing her to tell him everything is suspicious.

when mina turns at him, jimin gave a soft smile, "don't be afraid."

"who said i'm afraid of that old women?" mina attacks. jimin chuckles at her being randomly protecting herself.

"your face looks like it." jimin continues as mina just roll her eyes in annoyance. without even knowing that it's his own trick to ease her cold ass heart.

out of nowhere, mina's phone ring making her quickly turns and stares at the name.

brother is calling..

she curses inside her own self after realizing that she had spotted by turning on her phone out of nowhere. jimin peeked at her phone when he noticed her expression was changing when she received the call.

jimin raises her eyebrows, "you have a brot-"

without giving a chance to jimin to say anything that will boil her blood, she threw her phone on the ground. no hesitation at all that makes jimin jumps at her rough action.

the way her phone was cracked like it's completely crashed, mina still step on it as if it's still working. jimin holds her, trying to stop.

"what are you doing? your brother was calling you."

"that is not, my brother." mina turns, unexpectedly giving him a very deathly stares. he tried to calm the way he's breathing for a moment.

he knew this isn't a time for him to play around but, why did she does that? jimin just nods, not wanting to expect any more emotionless words from her.

"alright. you need to go somewhere for you to stay, mina. why did you threw the phone? what if your mom is worried about you?" jimin says, trying to make an eye contact with her when she was kicking the phone away from the two.

mina yanked her hand as she looks up at him, "i live alone. my dad is dead and my mom is on her way, to be the same as my dad."

jimin blink his eyes as a speechless respond. he didn't expect her to answer his question but, this situation is awkward moment.

mina step closer, "is that what you wanted to know?"
