Melting in You | PJM

Chapter 8

Hana reached her apartment, excitement mixed with nervousness. Still, she has not recovered from the shock of being appointed as BTS' dorm cook.

She lazily put her hands into the handbag to grab her phone. She went through the contacts to have a conversation with an important person.

"Hello, Hana, how did---?"

"Mr Lee, you are the one who recommended me for the job, right?"

After pausing for a second, Mr Lee answered Hana.

"Yes. I was the one who recommended you."

"Why did you...?"

Tears started welling up in her eyes as the roller coaster of emotions she was going through were too overwhelming to her.

"Listen, Hana. I know how much capable you are to do that job. I believe in you and it's your time to go on and shine in life. I know already that the boys are gonna get addicted to the dishes you cook, haha! Anyways, I wish you good luck, Hana!"

Hana did not reply for a moment.

She let out a heavy sigh.

"Okay...Mr Lee. Thank you...and I will work hard."

"That's good, Hana. Cheer up, you got this! Okay, now I have some works to do and I'll call you tomorrow."

Saying that, Mr. Lee ended the call. Hana placed the phone on the sofa and kept staring at the ceiling.

Why it's me??

And that's when she understood what was happening all this time. As Mr. Lee knew of Hana's financial crisis, he offered the opportunity to her instead of him taking the job.

Mr. Lee, you don't have to...

Do I deserve the job? Can I do it better??

These questions were starting to eat up her thoughts.

She is not at all confident about her job which she is going to start from the next day. She was shaking inside as she's gonna cook for the world class icons. Of course, she should be nervous.

Okay, it's just three months, Hana. You can manage.

She shook her head and scoured for a white paper in her handbag.

She went through all the instructions which she has to follow inside the dorm. However, she was determined and started to plan the dishes she has to cook the next day.

At BigHit's practice studio

"Okay, everyone! Now, 1,2,3..."

J-hope, the group's main dancer was teaching the members some eye-catching dance moves. As an expert in choreography, he did not want the members to lose their touch with dance while they were on a break.

Placing his legs in a criss cross manner, he was demonstrating a complicated dance step.

"Hyung, let's take a break", Jimin, who gave his blood, sweat and tears to excel that step whined in a cute way.

"Okay, our Jimin is asking for a break and let's have one for 20 minutes", J-hope told giggling at the way he whined.

They grabbed a water bottle for each and started gulping down the water in one go. Cleary evident, how much they worked hard and how much tired they are.

"Jin hyung, do you know that our new dorm cook is gonna join the job from tomorrow?", Namjoon asked his elder brother, Jin.

"Oh, really?! Then I can sleep for few more hours after a long time", Jin replied.

"Finally, we are gonna get rid of Jin hyung's boring food", Jimin chuckled.

"Yah, Jimin ah, don't start again"

"No, hyung, I was kidding", Jimin flashed a playful smile.

During night

At Hana's apartment

Hana was lying cozily on her bed beside Leah.

She was not able to sleep.

Though, one of the reasons is the nervousness of the next day....but the other reason was more dominating her thoughts.

Those pair of glittery eyes..

Why did he...? Why it's bothering me?

Hana grabbed her phone from the nightstand and googled BTS Jimin.

A bunch of Jimin's pictures along with his information were displayed in the screen in a fraction of seconds.

She went through all the pictures one by one and without knowing to herself, she was staring at his pictures... particularly those shiny marble eyes.

His eyes are shining even in pictures...

"Hana...Hana...girl, what happened to you?!"

"Huh..."

Leah rolled her eyes at her roommate Hana, weirded out by her unusual behavior.

Hana realized that she was caught red handed.

"Oh...I-- I was..."

"Hana, what happened to you?"

Leah already knows that Hana is not they type of girl who 'fangirls' the idols.

"No...it's nothing."

Leah decided not to enquire anything further. She mumbled out a good night and turned the other side. She thought to herself that she was looking at the pictures of Bangtan to learn their names as she needs to know their names anyway.

Hana placed the phone back on the nightstand and drifted to sleep.

At BTS' dorm

Jimin was lying on his bed in his room. A small creak sound of the door was heard and it was J-hope.

"Hey, Jiminie! Aren't you asleep yet?"

"No, hyung, I'm going to sleep"

"Good night, Jiminie"

J-Hope plopped himself on his bed. He was so tired at the end of the day.

"Good night, hyung", Jimin said and turned off the night lamp.

No wonder, they are the sweetest roommates.

However, the image of the strange girl who stood outside the BigHit building that morning has not left Jimin's mind.

Why did she keep staring at me? Also, I've not seen her before in the BigHit building...

He recalled what Namjoon told when they were in the practice room.

"Do you know that our new dorm cook is gonna join the job from tomorrow?"

Is she...the dorm cook whom Namjoon was talking about? And, that means...she will be here from tomorrow??
