Persona

Chapter 1

JIMIN'S POV

*          *          *          *          *

The first time I saw June it was a body blow to the chest, the air went whooshing out of my lungs like a deflating balloon.  I was almost positive I was standing there gaping with my eyes wide and my mouth hanging open.  I was lucky, June wasn't here to see me.  She was here for my hyung Suga.  June was a longtime friend of Suga's girlfriend, Ash.

Ash had sent June to examine Suga's shoulder. It was an injury that had been plaguing him since pre-debut. He'd done something to it a couple of weeks ago and Ash as well as the members had been after him to get it examined. Suga had refused until Ash had put her foot down and told him June was coming to check him over.

From what he understood June was versed in physical therapy, as well as some older practices that might work to alleviate Suga's pain. The injury very likely would need surgery at some point, if of course they could ever manage to convince Suga of that fact. I didn't think that would happen any time soon, even with Ash's help.

June was gorgeous, by far the most beautiful woman I'd ever seen, and best of all she was several centimeters shorter than I was, which I appreciated not being the tallest man in the room. No, that was RM who was busy telling Suga to keep his mouth shut and do what June said, or he was calling Suga's girl. Those words quieted the other man as June's graceful hands examined his shoulder.

"Hum--hug--ugh." She murmured during the perusal of the injury.   "This is going to hurt you, far more than it will me." With deft movements she put pressure on a couple of spots on Suga's arm and seconds later a loud 'POP' filled the training room followed swiftly by a pained cry coming from June's patient.  "That should help, that's not a permanent solution, but...." June trailed off knowing he understood what the real fix was for his issue.

Suga, aka Min Yoongi, moved his arm, lifting it for the first time in ages without wincing.  "Thanks. Ash was right, you did make it better."

"She usually is right."  June admitted finally looking around at the rest of the members.  "Sorry, Ash told me if I didn't just get this over with right away he'd try to avoid it."  She smiled at all of them, "Hello, my name is, June."

Her smile lit up her face and I felt a surge of what could only be called jealousy raced through me at the eagerness he noticed in his members as they each introduced themselves to her. I ended up being last in line to greet her, and found I could barely string together more than my name and a speedy hello before I felt blood rushing to my face in a brilliant blush, that I hid by ducking my head and swiftly turning away.

Why did I have to be such an idiot when it came to someone I found attractive?

JUNE'S POV

I followed Ash's instructions precisely going directly to her boyfriend, who I recognized from the many many pictures I'd seen of them together. Although his now grumpy face was in no way as cute as the gummy smile that had graced the photographs of the happy couple.

I felt a profound respect for Suga after examining his shoulder, that he was able to dance and move as he did with as much pain as he had to be experiencing. Within moments I knew I could help, even as Yoongi was complaining to one very tall handsome man, who was threatening my patient with a call to his girlfriend. Happy the words seemed to settle him enough for her to work her magic. A few seconds, a loud pop, and a equally noisy outcry later it was finished.

I studied each of the men as they introduced themselves, never had I been around a better looking group of men, each one seemed more handsome than the last. How was that even possible? The cutest by far was the final member of the group, who mumbled that his name was Jimin before he scurried off, but I thought I saw a rosy blush staining his cheeks before he turned away.

"Nice to meet all of you, I'm June. Does it feel better?" I questioned Yoongi.

He nodded. "Much. Will it stay like this?" he asked hopefully, even thought he had to know the answer.

"No, but I can improve it. Ash asked me to help you until the tour starts." I glanced at the others. "If you've have any injuries, I can take a look at them, too." As I watched all of the members eyes turned toward Jimin, who quickly denied anything was wrong with him.

I couldn't believe they were throwing me under the bus like this. Then again...they did enjoy torturing each other, and I admitted I would have done the same to any of them. "I'm fine, it's not bothering me anymore."

"Then why were you favoring that leg at yesterday's practice?" J-Hope responded.

There was no denying it, I had been less than perfect the day before, and Hobi had every right to call me out on my blatant lies.

June indicated a nearby table. "Hop up."

I could feel all eyes upon me as I walked over and jumped onto the tabletop. I was about to say which leg it was when I felt June's fingers on my knee. I had thought I hid it better than that, but obviously not since she had gone directly to the injury.  June's touch burned through the heavy denim fabric of my jeans.

"I'm going to need better access, could you change into shorts?"

I nodded and scurried off to change, wondering how I was going to survive those fingers on my bare skin. I was supposed to be a professional and I was feeling anything but professional toward June. I cursed my almost complete lack of experience when it came to dating and finding someone physically attractive. This is what came of spending all of your life practicing and honing your craft, you became a total loss in all other areas of your life.  I returned wearing a pair of loose shorts and jumped back onto the table, bracing myself for the touch of her beautiful hands on my knee.

This is my first my first time sharing a ff with anyone.  The first time I've been brave enough to actually share much of my writing.

Anyway, thank you for coming this far even if it is only one chapter, hope you enjoyed it so far. 

I may not have a full series (the plan is 1 for each of the boys) just yet but I can assure you that this story does indeed have an end, because I know myself...I refused to even begin publishing it until it was complete. 

Constructive criticism is welcome, but I'm asking that you refrain from nasty comments that serve no purpose except to be mean and hurtful.
