Case 001: Attorney Park (Trial and Error Series)

08

"Moment of truth ladies and dimwits, it was lovely to meet all of you. See you at the oath taking...or not," Jimin utters with conviction, trying his best to hide his anxiousness.

"Can't you be anxious like a normal person and not have trash coming out of your mouth for once?" You glared.

"I'm built different. I am what I am," he simply shrugs.

Jimin, Taehyung, and Heesung stayed over in yours and Hana's shared flat as you agreed to check the bar exam results together. You told them you'd check your name last and they were fine with that. You were all huddled around your laptop screen, murmuring silent prayers as you scrolled through a list of names trying to find all five of yours.

"Hana, you passed! Wait, you too Heesung!" Hana cried uncontrollably, frantically dialing on her phone to let her parents know while her boyfriend Heesung continued jumping up and down.

"Jimin," you slowly trailed off, his face looked so pale as he waited with anticipation.

"Congratulations, Jagi! You passed!"

"I knew it! I fucking knew it! Oh my god oh my god!"

His excitement roared through the whole apartment but quickly stopped when he looked over at a very, very nervous Taehyung who sat quietly behind you. He closed his eyes and turned his head to the side in case he did fail the boards.

"Quit being a pussy and look at the damn screen, you moron,"

"Shut up, Jimin," he retorts.

You scrolled through a lot of Kim on the list until your eyes landed on Kim, Taehyung - 12301995. Your mouth agape in shock making Jimin freeze in his spot. His own orbs grew wide as he read the result.

"Holy fucking shit," Jimin whispers shakily.

"Taehyung," you slowly called out.

"I failed didn't I?" None of you answered, making him frown.

He fakes a laugh, "Piece of trash, can't even pass a simple bar ex–"

"You topped number one!" you screamed at the top of your lungs making Taehyung, Hana and Heesung gasp audibly at the news.

"You did it! You fucking did it, man! Tanked all these sons of bitches and ranked number one while going through the worst heartbreak of your life. Who's doing it like you, Tae? Huh? No one!"

Jimin tackled Taehyung with a huge grin as they hugged. Both of them jumped in happiness for each other's accomplishments. It was now your turn to look for your name but your fingers were frozen to even scroll your mouse. You sat staring at the screen with cold sweats.

"Y/N, aren't you going to check your results?" Hana asks.

"I-"

Jimin knows how panic-y you get about these things. He walked over to you and rubbed your back.

"Do you want me to do it for you, Jagi?" he nicely offers. You nod your head slowly.

You scoot your seat to the side to give him space and hide your face with your hands. Everybody silently watched Jimin scroll past all the Chois in the list until yours finally popped up. Choi Y/N - 12161996. The silence was deafening you. You wanted to know what's happening.

"Jagi?" he quietly called out to you, almost in a whisper.

"Y-yes?"

"Baby, look at me."

Jimin pulled your hands away from your face and held both of it in his hands tightly. He looks at you with soft eyes and lips tight in a line. 'Was I that bad?' you thought. Your lower lip quivered as you pouted, feeling the need to break down.

"D-did I–" you wiped your eyes as tears started to fall. "Did I fail?"

Jimin sighs, "Whatever's on this result doesn't make you less, okay? Fuck the bar exams. Remember that I love you and we're always here for you. I'll always take good care of you no matter what happens. Always."

You nodded your head at him, trying to stop yourself from crying. Your boyfriend turns the screen to you and shock hits you as soon as you read what your results were.

"Park Jimin, you sick fuck!"

All of them laughed hysterically as you wailed like a child. You tried to stop all your tears from falling but to no avail. Jimin locked you in a tight embrace as he lifted you up, still crying, and twirled you around.

"You made it, Y/N! My baby did it! Mom, your daughter did it!"

"Wait what?"

You confusedly looked at him thinking who was this 'mom' he was talking to until you heard your mom's voice crying happy tears with you.

"Y/N I'm so happy for you! I knew all your hard work would pay off!" your mom congratulates you through a phone screen.

"M-mom? I was supposed to call you first!"

"Jimin called me so I can find out the results with you!"

You looked at Jimin who shyly grinned at you. Maybe he was right about astrology and maybe it was starting to rub off on you. You would never know how you got lucky to have him in your life. You presumed that perhaps the stars wanted you to be together. After talking to your mom on the phone. You looked at Jimin with soft eyes. He turns his head to yours and gives you a forehead kiss.

"Thank you."

"For?"

"For helping me pull through reviews, for always being there, and for calling my mom which by the way, since when did you start calling her mom?"

"Since the first time we visited your hometown. In my defense, she told me it was okay to call her that," he chuckles.

"I'm sorry, you're currently on a boyfriend subscription. Please upgrade to husband if you'd like to continue referring to my own mother as mom. Thank you," you stuck your tongue out to tease making him roll his eyes at you while he mimicked what you said.

"Looks like Y/N and Jimin's getting hitched first huh," Heesung grinned.

"Y/N, let me know if you change your mind and want to back out at the last minute," Taehyung snickered at you, earning him a death glare from Jimin.

"Hey, for what it's worth, Jealousy is a disease. Tae, don't laugh, you're still single and cum has dried to a powder," Jimin flipped Heesung and Taehyung off, making everyone laugh.
