"This is unacceptable!" Namjoon shouted with all the group members now gathered in the living room.
"Why?" Jimin yelled back, shielding Charlie from his leader's fierce glare.
"For God's sake. You don't know her. Maybe she is a sasaeng pretending... Or..."
"Or what? A journalist trying to get a good story?" Jimin countered, his blood boiling with every second Namjoon was spitting nonsense.
"Everybody, calm down!" Jin and Hoseok stepped between the two brawlers, who were moving closer to each other.
Charlie suddenly took a step forward, her head hanging low.
"Unfortunately, I do not understand what you are arguing about. However, I can feel it is about me. So... I don't want you two to fight. You are friends, and there should be no one to make you fight. Therefore, I will leave today." Charlie sounded fragile but determined.
"No!" Jimin moved before her, blocking her way toward the bedroom."I agree with Jimin," Yoongi spoke in almost perfect English. "You should stay. It could be dangerous."
Jin grabbed Namjoon's and Jimin's hands and dragged both to the kitchen.
"You two need to listen! None of you is completely mistaken here. Yes, we don't know who she is," Jin looked at Namjoon, whose face showed a triumphant smile. "Don't you think you are right here, Joon! Because if Jimin has feelings for her, then it is completely right for him to worry and want to protect her." The oldest continued in a scolding tone.
Namjoon's smile faded, and he looked at his dongsaeng.
"Do you really like her, Jiminie?" The leader questioned the dancer in a sincere voice.
"I think so. I understand that we do know very little of her, and I cannot explain what attracts me to her, but my body and soul want to protect her at all costs." Jimin held his friend's gaze to show him that he was sincere.In the living room, Yoongi convinced Charlie to sit back down.
"You really not know?" Hoseok asked her as they all took a seat.
"Who I am?" She replied in a humble tone, to which the dancer nodded.
"No!" Charlie shook her head. "Only small details but not much. I am still in shock that I am in Korea."
"Korea cool!" Taehyung uttered with a big grin.
"I am sure it is," Charlie looked over the BTS members' faces, and she could see that they were a very friendly bunch of friends that were very close to each other.
Jin, Namjoon, and Jimin finally returned, and before they could even say a word, Charlie was on her feet, ready to head to the bedroom to grab her stuff.
"You can stay!" Namjoon exclaimed sternly. "But there need to be rules."
"It's okay? I don't want to bother you." Charlie said as she took the first steps toward the door.
"Please, not leave!" Jimin begged as he grabbed her wrist.
"But..."
"It really is okay. As Yoongi-hyung already said, it could be dangerous outside." Namjoon gave her a reassuring smile.
"Okay. What do I need to do?" Charlie replied, turning to give Jimin a bright smile.
Jimin's heart could not stop racing when he looked into her beautiful eyes, pinched together as she gave him a breathtaking smile.
Namjoon had not explicitly explained the rules to him. However, to keep her safe, he was willing to do almost everything.
