The IMperfect Couple

Part 2

As soon as Jimin reached the company, he parked his car and got down in a hurry that he didn't notice what people around him were trying to tell him. He arrived to the set panting, throwing his bag aside.

"Sorry. Let's start" he said removing his jacket still not aware of the looks he was receiving. 

Soon the set was filled with laughter as Taehyung pulled Jimin towards the mirror on the practice floor. Jimin was lost for words. The image on the mirror cleared his confusion to why you were acting weird back then. The dark tinted food colour that you applied around his lips were now all around his chin and to his neck because of the sweat.

"Ah!! This woman" Jimin said still feeling shy and not looking at anyone.

"Jimin. Is it y/n again?" a Taehyung asked giggling.

He nodded giggling. "I'm not leaving this woman." he said calling you from his phone, still trying to clean the tint.

"Ya y/n-ah!!! What the hell have you done?" he fake yelled and walked towards the washroom careful enough to stay out of anyone's sight.

You on the other hand were waiting for his call and were laughing once you picked up the call.

 "Wait till I come home. You're done" he said.

"Woah! Already eager to go home? Y/n? Is it a special night today?" Taehyung asked from behind.

"Ya! Taehyung-ah. You startled me." Jimin said holding his chest.

"What? Have I disturbed you both love birds? Aww"

"Umm. y/n I'll call you back later" Jimin said on phone giving an awkward smile.

You could sure hear what Taehyung said and instantly the laughter stopped. "Oh yeah. Bye."

You hung up. No one knew how your relationship was and you both decided to keep it that way.

-----

It was five in the evening as you received a call from Jimin.

"y/n? Are you back from work?"

"Umm.. Yeah I'm home. I was home all day today."

"y/n, you alright?"

"Yeah. Just wasn't feeling to go. I asked for a permission to work from home. I was lazy. Nothing else."

"Ha. As usual" he teased.

"Park Jimin, do you wanna start a war now? Coz, I literally could kill you now. Our company just lost a tender contract." you shouted. Both of you knew you didn't mean to yell.

"y/n? Are you alright? I was just kidding."

"No, it's fine Jimin. Just tell me why you called" you left a sigh removing your glasses off.

"Umm. Taehyung has asked us if we could join for dinner. His girlfriend is in town. It's okay if you don't want to, I'll say no." he was worried.

"Oh. I actually wanted to go somewhere out. I'll be there." you said closing your eyes resting your back on the chair.

"6 p.m. y/n. I'll pick you up. Be ready." He still didn't hang up.

"Umm, Jimin. Is that all?"

"Umm... y/n. Actually... Can we... have a movie night today?" Jimin asked with hesitation.

Movie night was the word you use to be intimate that night. You both would start with a movie and at the end of the movie, gradually move to your bed to be intimate. This has been happening ever since you both couldn't keep your hands to  yourself.

"Well. Okay Jimin. I'm taking a leave tomorrow however. So, that'll be fine"

"Okay then. Be ready, I'll pick you up at 6"

"That's okay Jimin. I'll take a walk."

"No. I'll be there by 6. Just be ready" Jimin said and hung up.

-----------------

Dinner at Taehyung's home helped you in relieving your work stress. You both thanked Taehyung and his girlfriend for the dinner and got into the car. 

Jimin drove the car while you were sitting in the passenger's seat. He didn't forget the morning prank you had pulled on him, and decided to give it back. He knew you were afraid of darkness and he took advantage of it. 

Suddenly he stopped the car and said that the car broke down. Both of you got down while he opened the car hood. He did something that made convincing enough to make you believe that the car was really broke down. He got into the car saying he'll try to start the car. You on the other hand had no idea what he was planning and was roaming around the car gazing at the stars.

The car engine started. When you approached the car to get in, Jimin drove past you stopping to see the confused you. "This is for today morning." he said laughing and drove past you. 

You knew the house was just a street away and Jimin wasn't such an asshole to do such serious immature pranks. You rolled your eyes. "How childish of you Park Jimin? I could walk myself to home" you gave a smug face and started walking. However Jimin drove past you and took a left. 

You were not angry on him coz you knew he'd be back anyways. While you were still walking, suddenly the street lights went off leaving you in complete darkness. You froze at the spot and all your belief in Jimin coming back went into thin air. You closed your eyes and your eyes began to water automatically.

Jimin on the other hand planned to park the car and come see you by walk. But before he could reach you, the lights had gone and he was still on his way running knowing well how you would be anxious about being in dark. He swore under his breath that he'd never pull a prank on you anymore. 

You searched for your phone and remembered that you had left it in car and your breath became untidy. Just then you heard footsteps approaching and you didn't have the guts to look who it was. You closed your eyes, making your hands into fists, clenching your jaws, breathing heavily and unsteadily. 

"y/n? y/n? I'm sorry. Sorry I didn't mean  to scare you this way. I was just... I didn't expect the lights would go off" he said holding your shoulders.

You were still not out from the dark phase, but you were relieved that Jimin was there. You still didn't have the courage to open your eyes. Jimin knew you were afraid of darkness, but this was the first time he witnessed it. 

He cupped your face. "y/n. Open your eyes. Please. I'm here now. Nothing to worry. I'm sorry" he whispered directly to your lips.

"I... I was... I didn't know... I thought you would never come. I thought you-"

"Shhhhh... I'd never leave you. Please remember that. I promise I'd never prank you ever in my life. Shhh. Please don't cry. You know I can't handle it if you cry. Please y/n."

He consoled you well enough that you were again comfortable and both of you walked to the car.
