Hold Me

Ten

Jimin's knee bounced, a creepy feeling spreading throughout his whole body.
"Hey, she will be alright. She will be waiting for you to return with a bright smile," Namjoon tried his best to comfort his friend on their ride back.
"And what if not?" Jimin asked, looking him dead seriously in the eye.
Namjoon was speechless, looking at the fear that was in his friend's eyes.

As soon as the car stopped, Jimin jumped out and ran into the building. Namjoon followed him, but he could not keep up with his friend's frantic pace.
"Charlie! Charlie!" Jimin shouted as soon as he stepped into the dorm. He looked around, yet no one was in the kitchen or living room.
"Charlie?" He tried again as he rushed towards the bedroom.
"Jimin?" Ye-Ji greeted him with a bright smile when he walked into his bedroom. The young woman was lying on Jimin's bed with her headphones on. When she saw the idol, she jumped up, threw the headphones off, and ran toward him.
"Where is she? Where is Charlie?" He exclaimed harshly while Ye-Ji brought her arms around her crush.
"I am so happy that you are back." Ye-Ji purred, placing a light kiss on his cheek.
"Where is Charlie?" He repeated his question as Namjoon entered the bedroom as well. Jimin pushed Ye-Ji at arm's length, looking sternly at her.
"How was your trip? Did it all go well? Do you know how much I missed you? And, of course, the other members, too," Ye-Hi said, her eyes drifting to Namjoon to avoid Jimin's furious stare.
"Ye-Ji!" Jimin screamed as his grip on her arms tightened. "Where is Charlie?"
"Ouch, you are hurting me," Ye-Ji complained as she tried to free herself from Jimin's hold.
"Then answer my question!"
Namjoon stepped forward, his hands on Jimin's to make him ease the grip he had on the girl.
"Why do you never ask about me? Why is it always about her? You could just ask me how I have been. Or tell me that you missed me!" Ye-Ji whimpered as tears started to come to her eyes.
"Because I do not care. I love Charlie and not you. Now ...." Jimin was losing his temper.
"Well, then, I am glad she is gone. You need a more suitable woman by your side than that fat bitch," Ye-Ji said in a voice full of venom.
"What did you just say?"
Namjoon held Jimin back as he was about to launch himself on Ye-Ji to unleash his fury on her.
"Jimin, stay calm," Namjoon advised his friend, "or Ye-Ji will never tell us what happened."

"What is going on?" The other BTS members rushed into the room, looking at the scene full of suspense.
"I will never tell you. You are mine!" Ye-Ji exclaimed firmly, her arms crossed over her chest as she stormed towards the exit.
"I will never be yours." Jimin cried out before he crumbled on the floor, tears running down his face as he sobbed Charlie's name.
"Jungkook, you talk to Ye-Ji. Maybe she will tell you what happened to Charlie and where we can find her. And Jin, can you please contact Bang PD-nim to inform him about the situation," the leader instructed before he beckoned Hoseok to help him calm down their friend.

Jungkook walked to the living room, where Ye-Ji tossed her belongings in her bag.
"Ye-Ji, what happened? Where is Charlie?" Jungkook asked her in a calm, soft voice.
"Gone! And that is the best thing that could happen to Jimin," the girl answered with no remorse.
"You know that you just blew your chances to ever be with him," the singer notified Ye-Ji, who suddenly stopped and looked at the youngest BTS member. Jungkook saw the change in her eyes when she realized what he said was valid.
"Her boyfriend picked her up," she finally admitted to the maknae.
"Her boyfriend? Are you sure?" Jungkook inquired with suspicion in his voice.
"Yes, and Jimin should thank me. I prevented him from being heartbroken. When will he realize that I am the only woman who can make him happy." Ye-Ji sat on the couch, and Jungkook took a seat next to her.
"Then show him that you love him."
"How?"
"Help him find Charlie and let him see with his own eyes that she is taken. Then he will be able to see that you did not mean to hurt him."
Ye-Ji nodded, and Jungkook shouted for the members to come to the living room.
