* chapter one hundred and seventeen *

Claudette smiled softly, sitting in the kitchen on the stool, facing the living room. From here, she could watch the boys rush around and hear what they were saying upstairs.

"Where are my socks?!"

"Shit I need to feed Yeontan!"

"Wait oh no OH NO!"

Claudette giggled, Yoongi on the couch on his phone, waiting patiently for everyone. He was the first and only one done as of now. It was always like this. Everyone else was always late while Yoongi just chilled while they were in utter chaos.

Jungkook was surprisingly done next, and then Jin and Namjoon.

"Hey," Claudette walked over to Namjoon, Namjoon looking up from his phone. "Uhm, I need to tell you guys something."

"All of us?" Namjoon asked, Claudette nodding. "Can it wait till after work? We're like, really late-and there goes Jimin screaming." Namjoon chuckled, Jimin running around behind Claudette, screaming something about a plaid shirt and shoes

"Yeah, yeah of course, go on." Claudette nods, smiling as Namjoon kisses her.

"Thanks Babe." Namjoon smiled. "Load it up!"

And one by one, they all said their goodbyes to Claudette, kisses and hugs going around, all until the house was quiet.

"I'm a model." Claudette told the quiet door. "I work for K, but he was fired yesterday. He was always so mean to me and would push me a lot. But I like modelling. It was really fun and it made me feel good... only when K wasn't around."

No response.

"Jimin?" Claudette smiled, answering the call.

"Ettie!" Jimin cheered from the other end.

"What are you doing?" Claudette laughed, walking to the library, her three dogs with her. "You left like thirty minutes ago. Did you forget something?"

"No no." Jimin laughed, on his morning run in Hybe's gym. "I was wondering if I could visit you at the library today. I have about an hour off after lunch, so if I drive a little illegally, I could be with you for about twenty minutes!"

"Oh Jimin." Claudette smiled, looking down at Eliot as she walked. "I would love that."

"Great!" Jimin did a little jump, almost falling off the treadmill. "Do you want me to bring you lunch?"

"Sure!" Claudette grew excited for the afternoon now. "I would love that."

"Perfect!" Jimin smiled widely, but then Sejin walked in. "Oh shit I gotta go. Kisses!"

Claudette laughed, Jimin hanging up, but she whispered, "kisses." Already missing Jimin.

.

"Jimin." Sejin crossed his arms, Jimin shoving his phone in his pocket, still running.

"Yes?"

"Please refrain from using your phone while running." Sejin smiled, the boy having a wide smile on his face, unable to contain his real emotions.

"Won't happen again." Jimin turned to give him a grin, Sejin shaking his head with a smile.

He knew it'd happen again.

.

"Oh great." Claudette mumbled, turning onto the street of the library. There, parked outside, was an expensive black car, very similar to the one K was in when he first met her. "Maybe I can just skip today."
