"No, mistwer no be fired, cuz mistwer is the boss and Mimi say that the boss fire people, not other way round" Jihoon pointed out nonchalantly, his words stunning his older brother in ways he couldn't imagine.

"Ji... baby what do you mean?" Jimin looked at him with wide eyes, a part of him wanting to laugh it off but Ji was never the type to joke about things like that.

"Wut I mean? I already told you. Wan me to tell you again Mimi?"

"I'm sorry baby I just... I think you misunderstood something" Jimin shook his head "Jungkook isn't the boss, he's a worker at the restaurant. Just like me"

"Nuh uh. Mimi don know, but Ji know. Cuz mistwer say to uncle TT that mistwer no be fired, cuz mistwer is boss. Then uncle TT say to mistwer to be carefwul cuz... cuz, yeah... I forgot da west bu it make sense?"

"Yes baby it makes sense but..." Jimin blew out an exasperated breathe, weaving a hand through his hair "where did you hear all this?"

"In the room at your wok. Mistwer and uncle TT talk bout it in the morning"

"Oh...." Jimin nodded his head in understanding, camouflaging the utter shock and bewilderment he was facing. He didn't know whether Jihoon might've misheard, or whether the toddler and Jungkook were pulling a prank on him.

He just couldn't find it in himself to comprehend such sudden news. Was it a hidden truth, or was it all a game? How could Jungkook possibly be his boss?

It would explain why he had no fear in acting however he wanted, and how he seemed so laid back and unbothered about the thought of getting fired. Not to mention the overwhelming command he effortlessly carried, his precise laser eyes that took in and analysed each and every detail.

There had been many occasions in which Jimin found Jungkook overseeing the workers, along with inspecting the entire restaurant even though his job description hadn't entailed him to. But that's merely because Jimin knew him as the busboy, not as the potential boss.

Jimin bit his lip in contemplation, closing his eyes as he released a deep heavy breath. This was way too much for him to take in.

Is that what Jungkook meant earlier? About me needing to know everything about him before he does anything?

He thought to himself, then shook his head dismissively. There's no way...

He took his phone out of his pocket, unlocking it before entering his contacts. His finger hovered over Jungkooks name, wanting to call the very male that set his heart ablaze in order to put his thundering thoughts to rest. He needed to know, but a part of him was too jittery to carry it out.

What if he ends up making a complete fool of himself, if Jungkook were to deny everything?

But if Jungkook genuinely was the boss, why in the world was he working as the busboy? What is he suppose to say or do if the truth were to come out eventually?

"Mimi, you tink too much" Jihoon mumbled, digging himself back into the covers as his eyes began to flutter lethargically.
