WARNING: ATTEMPT OF RAPE

The day will be saved after, but please take this warning and the other tags into account!


Jimin and Jungkook didn't talk much to each other after what had happened.

On Friday things at the office had been busy. They usually didn't have a particular reason to talk to each other at work, since they had such distinct functions. Jimin had a lot of people in positions closer to him with whom he needed to talk to than Jungkook... Maybe only in the future if he kept working hard and get promoted, he would manage to get there too.

The weekend went by in a flash... And still no sign from one another.

They both regretted what happened in the car that night.

Jungkook regretted it because he believed he went too far by trying to make a move when Jimin was his boss. Jimin regretted it because Jungkook did absolutely nothing wrong and he still denied him, without being able to explain to him why... Back then or ever.

None of them dared to touch the matter afterwards.

Jimin immersed himself in his work. It has always been a good way for him to keep his own mind occupied from other worries he had... This was one of the cases.

He kept himself occupied during the entire weekend, working from home the entire time.

He arrived on Monday with everything planned for the week, including his meetings and the trip to Tokyo. Whenever Jimin had to leave the country, the previous days were especially busy, with meetings nonstop and piles of emails awaiting for an answer.

On Tuesday by noon, Jimin was already in his third meeting of the day when he wasn't feeling as well as he thought he would be.

Even though he had had breakfast, it was lunchtime and he blamed the hour for his indisposition.

He really tried to focus on the presentation of one of his co-workers, it was an important matter and she was doing a great job so far. The rest of the team members were paying attention too.

Even so, he couldn't stop thinking about his bothered stomach, a discomfort that soon started making him sweat.

Trying not to disturb much, he reached out for one of the controllers of the AC and turn it on cold.

The lady presenting noticed him, so he apologized immediately.

"I am very sorry to interrupt, I was just trying to turn the AC on," Jimin talked to the room, and some people couldn't hide their surprise, so Jimin continued, "I know it's cold outside, but I feel like it's hot in this room..."

Being the third meeting in a row inside that stuffy room, no one bothered in making questions.

"It's alright," the lady said, proceeding with her presentation after Jimin apologized once more.

A few more minutes in and Jimin didn't feel any better... Actually, he thought that he was actually feeling worse. He felt difficulty in breathing, as he kept sweating even more.

A couple of people in the room have noticed it... But they chose to ignore and focus on the presentation. Even though, Mr. Soo didn't seem to be able to take the eyes off him after a while...

Soon Jimin noticed that he was having trouble looking right at the presentation. Things looked blurry... Even when he tried to blink several times, things still looked fuzzy and too difficult to read.

He thought it was his hunger mixed with stress that was making him feel so uneasy. He had just decided that, after the meeting, he would just grab something for lunch and drink some water and it would be alright...
