With You | Jimin FanFic

Thirty-One

Auden had never met any of the other band members before. So she was a little bit unsure how to react when Jungkook appeared.

He'd just said hello and all she could do was stand there. After a couple seconds of awkward silence she finally realized she needed to respond and smiled at him nervously, waving like an idiot.

"Hey, Jungkook," she said, and the words felt very odd coming off her tongue.

"You must be Auden, I've heard so much about you." His beautiful brown eyes perused her face and Auden could tell he was taking her in. She didn't like feeling like she was being scrutinized, but had to cut him some slack considering he'd showed up at Jimin's door and instead of finding Jimin, he'd found her.

"All good things I hope," Auden laughed weakly, and opened the door wider for him to enter. "Come in."

She felt weird letting people into Jimin's apartment like she lived with him or something. But the thought of living with Jimin wasn't at all unpleasant and Auden felt her insides flutter at the possibility. Then she scolded herself for allowing her mind to wander so far. She'd stayed over one night. She really needed to calm down.

"We didn't see Jimin after the concert last night. Namjoon wanted me to come make sure that he was alright." Jungkook turned to her again with a knowing smile, stuffing his hands into the pocket of his black hoodie. "But I think if you're here, he's probably more than alright."

Auden blushed, realizing Jimin must've told his band members about her. It was also a likely possibility that they'd seen the news when fans assumed they were dating. Why else would Jungkook be looking at her all knowingly with a teasing glint in his eye.

"He's still asleep, but if you want to wake him—"

"I'm awake," Jimin said, coming out of his room, rubbing the sleep from his eyes. He was shirtless and only wearing a pair of grey sweatpants. Auden couldn't help but blush a couple more shades of red.  At this rate she was going to look like a bright cherry tomato.

"Hyung, I just wanted to make sure you were alright."

"I'm great," Jimin said, walking over to Auden and pulling her into his side. He pressed a kiss to her temple and then proceeded towards the kitchen.

Jungkook watched their little display of affection, his smile widening. "Well we're all headed to the beach if you want to come down and hang out with us."

Jimin paused in the middle of pouring some coffee grounds into his coffee maker. "Sure, we'll come." He looked at Auden. "If Auden wants to go."

Jungkook's gaze turned back to Auden and she did her best to smile enthusiastically. "Yeah, the beach sounds fun."

"Awesome, we'll see you two down there." Jungkook gave Jimin one last knowing glance before leaving the apartment.

Auden turned to Jimin the second he left.

"Do they live here now too?"

"They've been here in LA for about a week because of the concert."

For some reason Auden imagined they'd be staying in a hotel or something but the apartment complex made sense too. If Jimin was already staying there of course they'd just rent out the surrounding apartments while they stayed in LA.

"Are you sure this is a good idea letting them know about us? I thought we were trying to keep things secret."

"From the public eye maybe," Jimin said, pouring her a cup of coffee as well.

"What about Hitman Bang, won't he be against this?"

Jimin sighed. "He may not like it at first, but there's really no rules that say I can't be involved with someone."
