Chapter22

JIMIN'S POV

*          *          *          *          *

I sat there silently listening to Jin and Namjoon berate me for my actions of the previous day.  I had been foolish and I had willingly admitted that fact.  Not that it seemed to have helped me at all, and they seemed prepared to keep lecturing for a while yet.

June came into the room.  She was so beautiful.  I couldn't take my eyes off of her.

"Are you even listening to us?"  Jin demanded.  He followed my gaze to June.  He smiled at her.  "Morning."

"Morning, Jin.  Are you two done with him yet?"

"No."  They said together.

"Okay.  Shopping by myself then."  She noticed Tae sitting nearby.  "Unless, Tae, want to come with me?"

"Hey!"  I shouted.

"You should learn to listen."  She teased.  "Tae?"

He offered up a boxy grin and nodded.   "Tired of hearing Jimin whine anyway.  What are you shopping for?"

"I need some clothes.  Jimin invited me to meet his parents tomorrow."

All the men in the room turned to look at me and I was blushing so badly my face felt like a furnace.  She came over kissed me and then pulled a hoodie over her head.  My hoodie, my favorite hoodie, that I had been searching for the past week.

"Thief."  I said, tugging at the hoodie.

She grinned wickedly.  "It's not as if you're gonna need it.  You're not going anywhere.  See you later."  She grabbed Tae's arm, dragging him behind her they exited the dorm, laughing at my plight.

I looked at my hyungs, and they picked up their lecturing right where they'd halted.  It was going to be a very, very long day.

"Where do you suggest?"  I knew he had more of an idea of were to go than I did.

"I know this nice boutique.  They have some lovely things."

"Take me there.  You know I"m not ultra fancy, right?"

"I know.  Can you walk in heels?"

"As long as they're not too high, otherwise I trip over my own feet."

I paused.  "Any chance I get to hear about that package you got a while ago?"

"A friend sent it to me.  Gifts for the members.  I just haven't given them out yet."  He was blushing faintly.

"A friend, might this be a girl type friend?"

His blush deepened.  "Maybe."

"Why haven't you given them their gifts?"

"Because, if I do, they'll question me about her, and I don't want that to happen."  He frowned.  "She keeps asking if they liked them."

"You don't want to share her."  I smiled.  Tae was crushing on her.

"That too.  You won't tell them, right?"

"Nope.  You are going to have to give them those gifts though, or she will think they hated them and you just don't want to tell her."  I informed him, noting his shocked expression.  "You never thought of that?"
