BTS' Manager

The Calm before the Storm

I woke up again at the same time yesterday and did the exact same things but this time by 6:30am I was done I tried to hurry everything up so I wouldn't be late to get Jungkook to school, It was my mission. At 6:35 am, I went to Jungkook's house and he wasn't there like this time he was nowhere. Not in the bathroom, not in his room not even in his small dining room. *Ok Jasmine stay calm Jungkook could just be pulling your leg again. Calm down *deep breaths in and out* If I was Jungkook where would I go to avoid school......................BTS' house* I finally got it. I went to BTS' house to find everyone there except Jimin and Taehyung. "Good morning everyone" I said catching my breathe since I ran up here. "Good morning Manager-nim" They responded. "Why do you like so tired?" Hoseok asked. "And so out of breathe" Namjoon added. "Jungkook isn't in his room and I thought he might be here" I explained. "He's in Jimin and Taehyung's room" Seokjin said. "Oh ok Phew" I said. "Did you think he'd run away from school?" Namjoon asked as I sat next to him and Yoongi. "No, not really. I know Jungkook hates school but I don't think he'd actually run away from it" I said. "He will if he wants to" Jin said from the kitchen. "But that's not how we raised him hyung. He doesn't like it but he knows he has to go" Hoseok said. Soon Seokjin has finished preparing Jungkook's lunch and breakfast so he called them down. I knew Taehyung had probably left already for shooting so he wouldn't be home. "Jungkook, Jimin come have breakfast " Seokjin said. "Manager-nim Have you had breakfast?" Namjoon asked. "I won't lie, I haven't" I said busted. "Come join us" Hoseok invited me and I joined them to eat. We were all having breakfast when we heard footsteps coming downstairs. We didn't think too much about and just continued eating like we heard nothing. "Jagiya!" Someone said behind me in a low raspy sleepy voice, I didn't hear properly so I turned around but it seems the members heard crystal clearly because their heads immediately whipped up with wide eyes. I saw Taehyung standing behind looking so worn out and tired with sleepy bags and all. "Oppa, Joheun achimieyo" I greeted him cheerfully with a smile. He came towards me caressed my cheeks and hair before going to sit between Namjoon and Hoseok. The table became suddenly so quiet so I decided to break the silence "Oppa, Don't you always go very early for shooting?" I asked Taehyung but all the other members looked up at me when I said Oppa. "Usually I do, but today I have an afternoon shoot" Taehyung explained. "Oh" I said as we continued eating but we could feel the members gaze on us. After Jungkook was done eating we bid them goodbye before going. When we were now in the car, Jungkook looked uneasy so I decided to ask him what was wrong. "It's nothing Noona. Just thinking about stuffs" he replied. "Is it Seo Jin?" I asked. "Half of it" He said firmly but sadly. "She still ignoring you huh?" I guessed. "Yes and she isn't even looking in my direction" I told me. "Just give her some space ok? If she really loves you she'll talk to you today like nothing had ever happened ok? Trust me. Some girls just don't talk to their boyfriends for some days because they don't want their boyfriends to notice something's wrong with them or just because the want to act all high and mighty ok not the point but the best plan in her mind is just to ignore and if he loves me, he'll give me space, ugh stuffs like that whatever" I tried to console him but ended up being annoyed. "Why are you annoyed? Don't you have an amazing boyfriend" Jungkook said and I burst out giggling. "What? Now you're making fun of me?" Jungkook said in satoori which made me laugh even more. "Yeah yeah Your boyfriend is great and all but I'm also a very good boyfriend" Jungkook added. "Oh yeah? If I have a boyfriend who is he?" I said between giggles. "Taehyung hyung" Jungkook said so seriously I fell off the car seat onto the car floor. "Are you making fun of me and my hyung? Oh!" He said as he lightly pushed my shoulder. I sat back on the car seat still laughing. "Just because I called him 'Oppa' you think we're dating??" I asked while laughing. "Yes! He called you Jagiya and he caressed your cheeks and hair" Jungkook said pouting. "That's what he said? I didn't even hear, I just turned around because I heard a voice and about the caressing thing almost all of you do that" I told him. "Ooh! Right! But it really seemed like you two were dating because well there was too much proof" Jungkook said still pouting. "Ok let me tell you now clean and clear, Taehyung and I AREN'T dating k? Good" I reassured him. "But you and hyung would make such a cute killer couple" he said and I slapped his arm lightly with a shy smile on my face while he just smirked. We finally arrived his school as we came out of the car, he immediately hugged me. "Noona just stay still" He whispered. "Bye Noona see you later!" Jungkook said a little loudly and cheerfully as he let me go then I turned to look behind and saw Namhyuk and Minho rushing our way. "Good morning Noona" They said in unison. "Good Morning Minho, Good morning Namhyuk" I greeted them as I waved with a smile. "She even greeted us separately and did you see that smile and wave?" Namhyuk whispered to Minho thinking I didn't hear. "I guess beauty runs in their family" Minho whispered back. "Guys don't you think we'll be late for class" Jungkook said trying to get them away from me. "We were just greeting your nice sister like the sweet friends of yours we are" Minho said. "Ok all of you to class. Hurry!" I kinda scolded them. "Ok Noona bye" Namhyuk said. "Have a great day" I said. "Thank you" They all answered as they left to go into the school. After just staring at the school for a while, I realized today was a Friday so Eunha wouldn't be at the coffee house but I told Seojun-ssi take me there regardless. When we arrived, "Seojun-ssi, I'll just walk around the city before going home" I said. "Are you sure Jasmine? Will you be able to come back alone? Don't get caught in another storm!" He said teasingly. "No I won't and I don't worry I'll go back all safe and sound" I reassured him. After a playful argument, he finally let me go and left. I went in and it was busy as usual. I walked up to the counter to order my coffee and there was a barrister ready to take my order. I had seen him around the coffee shop a couple of times I was here. "I would like a Latte with Expresso and Flothy Milk please" I ordered. "Coming right up please wait at a table, Miss" The barrister said and I sat at a table admiring the morning sun. Soon, the barrister brought my drink to me "Thank you Uhm Kyung.....Soo-ssi" I read his name on his name tag as I thanked him. He just bowed and left back to the counter. After sipping my drink for a while, I decided to leave and thank the barrister. I went back to the counter and he was waiting there with a big smile "Thanks for the drink, Kyung soo. It tasted amazing. Where'd you learn to make coffee like that?" I complimented him and asked but he just looked down and smiled shyly as he wiped the coffee mugs. "It's no big deal and Miss Eunha taught me everything and I know plus a little essence of my kinda spice from my previous experiences" He said looking at me with warm eyes and smile. "Wow, That was incredible. Keep up the good work!" I encouraged him with a wink and smile as he chuckled shyly. "Thank you Miss" Kyung Soo said shyly as he avoided eye contact with me. "Why do you have to call me 'Miss'? It makes me sound old. You look around my age, Just call me Jasmine" I told him. "I can't! Miss Eunha instructed us to call you Miss too" I told me. "Well, I take back her instructions. You can call me by my name as I call you by yours" I said and he looked hesitant. "I'm sorry. You can continue calling me Miss. Sorry to make you feel uncomfortable" I said sadly as I was about to leave. "No Jasmine wait! You didn't make me uncomfortable just that I have just gotten used to the Miss thing now calling you by your name is off to me" Kyung soo confessed while looking down at the counter which made me smile. "It's ok I understand but you can call me whatever makes you feel comfortable ok bye now" I said as waved to him and walked out the door, Little did I know someone was smiling widely at me as I left. I walked the streets of Seoul breathing the cool air and listening to the car sounds as music. I wandered the streets for a long time before I finally decided to go home. I reached the island and started heading straight for my house to change and go to BTS' house when Jimin just shouted from their house "JASMINE!". "YES?" I shouted back. "ARE YOU BACK?" He shouted. "YES!!! I'LL JUST CHANGE AND COME UP" I shouted with all my might. "OK!" He shouted back and I went inside my house. I changed back to my casual outfit and went up to BTS' house. Jimin, Seokjin and Hoseok were watching TV and I just sat with them. "Did you leave Jungkook in school?" Hoseok asked. "Yes, He looked really happy as he skipped away with his friends" I told them as they smiled warmly. "Where are Yoongi-ssi, Namjoon-ssi and Taehyung Oppa?" I asked and they all looked at me at the same time with somewhat sad expressions. "Well, Namjoon is in his room reading and maybe Yoongi's asleep" Jin said. "And Taehyung just left 30 minutes ago for a shoot. He was called in earlier than the original time." Hoseok explained. "Oh!" I said. We were all watching TV when Namjoon and Yoongi came out of their rooms at the same time. Namjoon came to check on the guys while Yoongi came to drink water. They both joined us in the TV watching when suddenly my phone rang in my hoodie pocket and when I saw the caller ID my expression turned annoyed. I was sitting in the middle of Hoseok and Jimin. "Excuse me" I said before picking the phone.
Caller ID : MOM 💔
"Hello Mom" The minute I said Mom all the members turned to look at me with wide eyes
"Jasmine sweetheart how are you?" She said over the phone but the members couldn't hear a thing she said.
"I'm good Mom and you?" I said in a sweet yet not so sweet tone.
"Great Darling." She replied.
"How's Dad?" I asked really sweetly and cheerfully.
"He's great as usual. Jasmine dear could you come over to the house if you're not busy" She asked
"NOW?!" I kinda shouted a little loud which startled the members.
"Are you busy dear. I just have a little suprise for you. Please if you could come home it would mean the world right now please Jasmine please" She pleaded
*She sounds too sweet, someone's at home and she wants me to meet them badly* I said in my head
"Jasmine?" She asked because I was silent for too long.
"Yes Mom, I'll be there" I replied.
"Thanks dear and F-E-D" She said super fast.
*I KNEW IT!!!!* I said in my mind
"Yes yes Mom I get it. Coming" I said
"The same thing as last time?" She asked sadly but was trying to hide it
"Yes Mom" I answered normally because I didn't want the members to suspect anything
"Ok, I'll send Sir Martin" She said sadly
"Ok Mom I'm coming" I said as I hung up
Call ended
"Was that your Mother?" Jimin asked. "Yes, it was" I said with a strange smile. "What's with your smile? You look like an idiot" Yoongi said and everyone turned to look at him with wide eyes. "She wants me to come back home, now I have to go down the hill and to my house and change clothes before leaving again" I whine as I slide down the couch to the floor. "But I just got back!!! Now I have to leave again!!" I whine again on the floor kicking it and curling into ball at the end. The members just stared at me because they have never seen this side of me before. I shoot up quickly with a sudden realization "Luckily, I didn't take off my makeup. It lessens the work but still to go out now" I said as I still sit on the carpet pouting like a puppy dog. I didn't even notice the members were staring at me with their mouths hanging open. I finally notice their staring when I hear a camera shutter, I turn completely in the direction of the sound to see Jimin with his phone in his hand but his mouth still open. I realized they saw that whole tantrum I just threw so I brought my knees to my chest and hid my face in between, still using my hair to cover my face and knees. "I'm sorry!" I shouted which snapped them back into reality. "I'm sorry I threw a tantrum in front of you guys. I shouldn't have done that just- just- just- I don't know I'm sorry" I sincerely apologized still hiding my face. "Manager-nim it's ok, you don't need to apologize. Everyone throws Tantrums every once in a while. You can't be perfect all your life" Seokjin told me and I don't know why but his words struck. It made me feel safe and warm. "And from an introvert's point of view, I can totally understand what you just went through. After all, we're all human aren't we?" Yoongi said with a lot of warmth in his eyes but a very cold expression (as always). I finally took my head out of my knees and removed the hair from my face to meet their warm smiling faces. "That was the most natural aegyo as they come" Namjoon commented which made me smile. Hoseok started imitating me with a dash of more aegyo and a cute voice which made me laugh. *I don't know what I'd ever do without them. In just a short period of time, they've become a very huge part of my life. I can never lose them. I just can't afford to lose them* I thought to myself with a bright smile. "Oh Jasmine, I'm sorry for taking a picture of you without your consent, I can delete it immediately if--" he said but I cut him off "It's ok Jimin. If you like the picture, you can keep it. I don't mind if it's you guys" I told him with a genuine smile. "Really?!?!?! Thanks. The picture is pretty but the person in real life is a lot more mesmerizing" Jimin flirted and I blushed but quickly covered it up by saying "I know. I'm too pretty. A living and breathing work of art. Many can't take their eyes off me when they get even a glimpse" with a little hair flip which earned me a sassy look from Jimin. "Second Jin hyung much" He said which made them all erupt in laughter with 2Seok clapping and laughing at the same time. I stood there defeated for a while then rolled my eyes before giggling with them. "I taught her everything she knows" Jin added looking so proud which made us laugh even more. "Oh Gosh! My Mom hates when I'm late oh sorry I have to run bye guys see you later" I said as I rushed out of the house. "I'm making this picture my new wallpaper" Jimin teased the others and they just stared at him and rolled their eyes. I ran to the house and changed into Formal wear then just touched up my makeup changing my lipstick color to coral red. I picked my handbag and left in a hurry. I don't why but all the guys were outside when I was about leaving. I came out of my house heading to the dock while waving to them and they waved back. I traveled the long distance to the park where Sir Martin was to pick me up. Thank God for Seojun-ssi or I would have been super late. I sat on the bench for 5 minutes when Sir Martin arrived to pick me up. While in the car we had a small chat about his family and everything. "Young Miss, What about you? How are things with you?" He asked and BTS member's faces just popped into my head and automatically I smiled. "I can see you smiling. It must be going great for you" He said. "Oh, Things are going great. It's not the life I expected, it's more that I ever dreamed of. I'm really happy Uncle" I told him. "I glad things are going your way Young Miss. Could it be also because of a dashing young man?" He tried to tease. "Noo Uncle!!!! Not me!! You know me, Boys have never been my thing" I said smiling at my hands which were on my knees. "Ahahaha I was just teasing. You used to love-hate when anyone teases you. It depends on the person" He reminded me of Jaemin who's life mission was to tease me to death. The smile on my face broke thinking about him. "Young Miss? (×2), Miss Jasmine?, Earth to the Young Miss?" He said which snapped me out of my memories. "Oh Did you call?" I asked vulnerably. "I triggered your memories, didn't I?" He said kinda sadly but I didn't respond. "I'm sorry I brought back such painful memories for you. The Young Master was the most precious person to you and--- I'm sorry" He apologized. "No Uncle please don't apologize. You've been one of my best friends since childhood and I'm not even up to your oldest child's age. You didn't trigger bad memories just good and fond memories which I missed so much. The reason I'm silent is because I miss them so much not because I remember bad memories. Do you think I don't think about Jaemin Oppa on daily basis? I think about him everyday but they aren't bad memories are they? They aren't, so you didn't do anything bad to me Uncle. Please just smile Uncle, Smile for me Uncle Just like this~" I said as I smiled widely. He sees me through the mirror and smiles back. "Jasmine, Will you never change!" He said joyfully as he laughed. "Never~~~" I said like I used when I was much younger and we burst out laughing. After chitchatting and driving, we finally reached Min Mansion ( my parents house). Uncle Martin parked and opened the door for me. I stepped out of the car and gave him a warm smile before walking into the house. Once the doors opened the minute I approached it. I entered the house and a maid told me my Mom was in the main living room. I was so focused figuring out what Mom has in store for me that I didn't notice that wherever I went all the maids and butlers in the room bowed to me. I reached the main living room and a maid opened the door for me. What I SAW WAS TO MY UTTER SHOCK 😲. Mom was seated with a guest who was giving me his back. I could only see Mom's face who was sitting opposite the guest. "Madam, Your daughter Miss Jasmine has arrived" The maid who opened the door said. Mom smiled as she saw me and stood up. "Jasmine dear" She as she came to hug me. When she hugged me and I hugged her back but when the guest turned around, I swear my eyes almost came out their sockets. "Jasmine dear, Look who's back from the U.S, Your Childhood Friend Kim Jongin" Mom introduced us with a smile while he came and stood in front of me. "Hey Jas, Wow, You look gorgeous as always. Did your skin become paler? It looks good" He tried to be nice. "It just did now that I see you" I said dryly. "Sour as always I guess" He said and Mom just awkwardly laughed. "He just returned from the States and came just to meet us" Mom said. "It's always a pleasure, Mother" Jongin said with a smile and I could see the coy look in his eyes. "Where's my Father?" I asked dryly and Mom sighed. "He's in his study" She answered and I just took off walking. "Please don't mind Jasmine, you know her and I sincerely apologize on her behalf" Mom pleaded on my behalf. "It's ok, Mother. No matter what Jasmine is going through, I'll always be there by her side even if she pushes me away countless times" Jongin said. "Aww~ Such a sweet friend and son you are~ Your Mother must be lucky" Mom said and Jongin just smiled. I was in front of Dad's study as excitement ran through me like electricity. I knocked and waited patiently. "Come in" I heard a voice say from inside. I opened the door and jumped in saying, "Appa!!" Then I realized he had company and when his guest turned around, I almost exploded with happiness. "Samchon!!!" I shouted as I hugged him first. "Aigoo~~ My little star!!" Samchon answered. "Geez, you called me first but completely forgot about me when you saw him, eh?" Dad said in satori. "It's obvious she loves me more" Samchon said as I gave him one last squeeze in the hug before going over to Dad. "It's true Samchon is my best friend and ultimate wingman but you'll always be first love and choice" I said as I gave Dad a big hug then a kiss on the cheek. "Ayyy~~ This is cheating" Samchon said. "Hyung, stop trying to steal my daughter" Dad said jokingly and I burst out laughing. "It's nice to see you both again. You guys just made my day" I said with a smile.
