With all the guys being out for the weekend, Jimin had the dorm to himself and he invited you over so that your brother and you could have your space. You happily agreed to spend the whole time with him.

This week you had been back at work and things felt slightly better, you kept yourself busy and were not stuck in your mind all day every day. Eating was still a struggle with the doctor having told you to take it easy after your two week rest, you couldn't even go to the gym.

"The guys were thinking we could get together tonight, their girlfriends included. Jungkookie is thinking of releasing a statement about his relationship at last. Bang PD-nim is concerned about the backlash he's received these last few months. They all want to talk about it."

"I wish you had told me yesterday, I brought clothes for the whole weekend" you commented feeling a little annoyed that he was telling this to you last minute and your brother was counting on being on his own until Sunday evening.

"I was thinking maybe you'd want to stay. The guys really want to meet you, they've been asking for months" Jimin muttered and looked at you grimacing. You had refused to directly interact with anyone but Hobi since the collaboration.

"It's none of my business though, why would they want me around when you have to talk about such things?" you looked at him confused and he sighed loudly.

"Because I want you to stay with me and it's not like you are some complete stranger, your uncle works with us. They can trust you not to go around divulging whatever we discuss."

"I don't know Jimin-ah, I'm not at my best lately, you know that" you looked down at yourself and wrapped your arms around your body protectively. Your boyfriend pouted at the action and walked up to you who was lying down on the bed.

"Come on, aegi. You know they wouldn't care about any of that" Jimin said softly as he leaned onto your side and nuzzled you behind your ear.

You knew he was most likely right, it was you who wasn't comfortable with the idea of it. They had technically all seen you before, but interaction in an informal setting is very different from working with a group of people.

"Jin hyung is away as well, there's no need to be nervous" he teased you and you looked at him unamused.

Jimin claimed he was fine with him being your bias, but small things like this made it obvious that he was still a little jealous. Even if you had reassured him you had no romantic feelings for his hyung.

"I guess I could" you said feeling defeated and he smiled widely. There was never going to be a good time for this, so you might as well get it over with. It was going to be uncomfortable, but hopefully Jimin was right and they wouldn't judge you.

They didn't look like the kind that would, but you couldn't help but feel wary when it came to meeting a new group of people. You always stood out and it made you feel out of place. It had been nerve-wracking enough to spend Christmas with Taehyung.

At least his girlfriend would be around, she seemed nice and pretty down-to-earth. You had no idea what Yoongi's or Jungkook's would be like or if any of the other guys were dating though. The fact that women were involved made it even scarier, they could be more cruel.

For that night you were going to do your usual make-up to go out, but Jimin suggested you go for something more relaxed, after all it wasn't any special occasion. Trying to trust his judgement, you went for the simpler look you usually wore around him, but you couldn't compromise on the clothes.

"We can wear matching outfits if that would make you feel more comfortable" your boyfriend suggested with a cute smile, genuinely trying to help you out. You truly appreciated it, it made you feel less anxious at least.

"That's okay, maybe some other time? I feel like I need to leave a different impression" you were thinking about it too much, but you didn't seem to notice.

"Go with something that you like wearing, that should help, right?" Jimin sat on your bed looking at you as you went through your closet. You had driven back to your place to pick up just the right outfit.

"You see, I don't know how to do that, Jimin-ah. I know what looks best on me, but picking for myself? I'm no good at that" it was always frustrating when people said that to you.

"Surely you have preferences" he commented being certain you had to have some sort of bias. You looked at him clueless and he raised his eyebrows surprised.

"Do you like pants or skirts better? Dresses?"

"I guess a pair of jeans would work" you commented and he nodded satisfied.

You pulled down your pants and immediately went to try on some tight fitting black jeans.

"Yes, baby, take it all off" Jimin growled playfully behind you making you blush. You grabbed a cushion from the floor and threw it at him.

"Shut up! My brother is on the other side" you said through gritted teeth while pointing at the wall that separated your bedroom from the living room. He giggled deviously.

"How about this t-shirt?" you asked holding up a white top with thin green stripes and then grabbed a green jacket to match, "with a belt around my waist." You held both pieces up for Jimin to assess and he nodded.

"Show me" he said softly with a smirk and you simply ignored his mischievous attitude. When you pulled your top over your head to put the new one on, Jimin threw himself back on the bed and moaned loudly.

"Mm, yeah, baby. Just like that!" he exclaimed breathlessly and you frowned. Your face was bright red when he looked at you and he started giggling.

"What are you doing!? Everybody and their mom are going to hear you!" you whisper-shouted at him. There was no need, you were not the one being inappropriate after all.

"I actually like the sound of that" Jimin contemplated the idea with a slanted smile, looking at you way too intensely just to make you nervous. The more flustered you got, the more entertaining it was. He was in a good mood after you agreed to stay with him tonight.

"Calm that inner hoe of a demon and focus or our next date will involve a visit to an exorcist" you demanded scowling at him and he threw his head back again laughing.

You grabbed the cushion once more and threatened to hit him with it, but he held up his arms protectively, giggling uncontrollably, and finally agreed to stop joking around as he caught his breath.

The look you'd gone with was perfect on you, specially with the animal print high heels you picked that elongated your legs and made you look breathtaking as you walked around the room with poise to show off to Jimin.

"You look stunning, aegi. I don't know why you worry so much. Your closet is full and you could never go wrong with anything you pick" he said truthfully.

You had an arsenal of weapons and you knew just how to use them to make everyone's heads turn. It was hard to forget the first day of the photoshoot for the collaboration when you walked in like you owned the place. Jimin bit his lip at the memory, your attitude definitely did it for him.

"It could be worse, Jimin-ah. At least it's not crack, it's better to be obsessed with clothes" you shared seriously and he covered his mouth stifling a laugh.
