JIMIN POV

Later that evening...

Jimin added up the meager amount of money left in his
bank account and realized he
had barely enough to pay his bills for the following month.

He was on the brink of bankruptcy and had no idea
how to find his way out.

He had zero business and nothing on the horizon.

He'd spent the last days
chasing leads and calling everyone he knew.

It was as if everyone had suddenly turned their backs
on him.

He grabbed his phone and queued up Jungkook's number, not knowing where else to turn.

Just as he was about to hit
Call, a knock came to his door.

He rose and walked over to the door, Kai leaned in the doorway.

"It's coming up to that time, I thought I'd stop by and see
if I was needed."

Jimin burst into tears.

Kai quickly drew Jimin inside
and closed the door before pulling him closer.

He melted into Kai, knowing
he shouldn't but he was on the ledge and needed a friendly face.

Kai stood there silent a
moment, hugging him tight
and running a strong hand
down Jimin's back.

"Who do I need to kill?"

He chuckled and stepped back.

He wiped at his eyes and
shook his head.

"No one."

"Everyone."

"I wish I knew who."

"What's wrong?"

"All of a sudden, all my
clients fired me."

"My prospects backed out or
fired me."

"I've got clients demanding returns of their deposits, old clients claiming things aren't right and wanting refunds."

"I'm basically inches from
being bankrupt."

"Fuuucck."

"Exactly." Jimin said.

"Who did you piss off?" Kai
asked as he sat down on
the arm of the couch.

"I think I know who and I was about to make a call that I
really don't want to make
and beg for help."

"Then don't make it."

"I have to." Jimin said.

Kai grabbed Jimin's hand.

"Why don't we sit and you
tell me everything?"

He tensed, knowing he owed it
to Kai to tell him the news...

before the alpha heard it elsewhere.

He sat down near Kai on the couch, turning to face him.

"There's something I need
to tell you first."

"That you mated Jungkook?"

"If so, I already know."

Jimin frowned. "You knew?"

"I knew."

"And you still showed up at my door, offering your services?"

"My services?"

"Jeez, Bell, you make me
sound like a prostitute."

Jimin laughed.

It felt good to laugh.
