She knocked on jungkook's office door and remained outside even after receiving a 'come in'
After awhile the door was opened from inside revealing a tired jungkook in his office suit.
He stared at Ara who was just standing there with her head down.

"Is something wrong, Ara?"
Ara looked up at him and awkwardly smiled
"Nothing"Jungkook called her inside and she gladly followed.

"Is there something you want me to do?"She spoke while placing the files she had completed other night.
Jungkook handed her a document.

"Discuss this document with jimin's manager and make sure everything is okay with them "
She took the document and read it few times while jungkook got back to his work.

"Are you going somewhere?"
Hearing her question, he signed.
"Yeah, Mom was admitted in hospital yesterday, so just wanted to check on her"
There was a quick change in her posture.

"What happened? Is she okay now?"
Jungkook almost laughed at her eagerness, but replied.
"Yeah she is, don't worry"

"I'll drop by hospital after this, text me the address"
With that she left jeon insticts and prepared herself for a big deal.

Tapping on her car's steering wheel, Ara battled weather she should go inside or not. She was sitting inside her car infront of park corporation.
After a quite fight with herself she decided to go inside and do her work.
"Excuse me, I am from jeon insticts
Can I meet manager Kang?"
The receptionist stared at her for awhile before answering.
"Sorry ma'am, he's on a leave"

She signed, after coming this long she can't go back without discussing this. She asked weather she could meet jimin or not.
The receptionist was weirdly staring at her like she have stolen her phone.When Ara heard a 'yes' from the receptionist, she walked away without asking where jimin's office was. She just roamed around the building without knowing a single thing. Reaching on 3rd floor she came face to face with an empty hallway, which had no rooms except one at the end. The room had it's lights on and few voices could be heard from inside. Curiousity peeked inside her so the girl made her way towards that door. Ara stopped near it and was about to peak inside but a voice startled her.

"You know it's not a good manner to peak in some else's room"
She hurriedly turned around with a
blank face

"I never learned manners so I guess I don't know any of those"
Jimin raised his eyebrow at her snarly reply.

"May I ask miss Ara, what are you doing here without my permission?"
Ara pointed towards the files in her hand and spoke
"Was here to discuss this with your manager but he's on a leave so I thought I could discuss it with you"
Jimin darkly chuckled at her words and took a step forward making her back off but ara never had any expression on her face

"Don't you think you're a bit too rude" She shrugged
"If you've any issues with my personality then you can die, I won't mind"
Jimin laughed at her childish wish, he couldn't understand this girl, at some point she's completely emotionless and at some point she's childish af. He brushed that thought off and started walking forward. The girl stood there frozen, she just spoke something childish infront of him out of all people. That irritated here to the core.

What the actual hell was that?
Why does it have to be him?

Jimin stopped on his track knowing very well that Ara wasn't following behind. He signed and turned around just to find her standing there completely frozen like something triggered her, may be that childish response she didn't wanted to speak allowed. He waited for awhile for her to get back from her damm thoughts but she never moved.

"Can you just follow me?"
Jimin's temper was reaching at it's peak, he had no idea how to handle girls like Ara. After awhile she blinked a few times and looked around, when her gaze met jimin's, she sucked in a breath. Jimin walked forward and Ara trailed behind him. She was amused again,
The interior of his office was beautiful, jungkook's office was plain white without any colours, jimin's was alike but it was slightly brown too. The ceiling had brown crafting done. There was a book shelf on the left and a dark brown couch near the glass window. The view from his office was actually breathtaking. Jimin sat on his usual spot and gestured her to take the seat infront of him. She took it gladly, and stared at him. Jimin fumbled around to find a pen so he could sign the document she had brought. He can feel her cold stare on him and it was irritating because he didn't knew the reason of it.

"Why staring, huh?"
Ara rolled her eyes at him and placed her legs on his table. Jimin furrowed his eyebrows at her position of sitting. This was clearly unprofessional to him.

"Miss Ara, I guess you are here for a professional discussion and the position you are sitting right now is really inappropriate to me. Logically I am in a higher position than you, I expect some sort of respect"

Hearing jimin's long lecture about her sitting manners, she leaned back making herself more comfortable.
"I'm gonna pretend I never heard you, here is the document, read it if you have any doubt regarding this, tell me I'm here for awhile"
Jimin glared at her for ignoring him, he swore if any other girl was behaving like this he could have made her regret it but there was something different about Ara, she knew how dangerous jimin is but after all of that she acted like she wasn't scared, in actual she wasn't.

"Don't you think you're acting like we are too close and you can sit however you please infront of me?"
She focused on the paper holder which she grabbed from his table just to keep herself distracted.

"I would sit however I want, it's none of your concern, just read that damn document and let me leave" After awhile jimin threw the document infront of her. Ara looked up at him, there was something more in his expression than pure irritation.

"Just leave already"
She smiled forcefully and stood up while taking the document. Jimin stared at her blankly. There was something more in this girl. Ara left after that without sparing single glance to the curious boy.

Ara reached at hospital on time, it wasn't too late nor too early. 7pm was perfect. Jungkook texted her the address earlier. She softly knocked on the door, and then cracked it open. The view she received was too cute, jungkook was sitting near his mother's bed while cutting some fruit, his mother smiled at him because he kept on complaining about how he couldn't eat food without pouting. Ara felt little bad to disturb their moment but before she could leave, jungkook saw her just standing there, he smiled from ear to ear and invited her in. She took small steps towards mrs.jeon's bed. The woman had the same soft aura from the last time she saw her. Ara really bonded with mrs.jeon in the college times, she used to visit her so much. Her mother and jungkook's mother were best friends so mrs.jeon knew how to treat Ara. After all this 5 years she was again infront her. The lady looked at her lovingly. Ara felt to break down into tears, the lack of mother's love in her life made her a heartless girl, she could handle everything but can't handle the genuine love people gave her. Mrs.jeon seemed to understand how Ara felt when she didn't uttered a word. Jungkook just sat there seeing Ara's expression changing.
It wasn't cold or blank this time, it was emotional.

"Ara"
Ara clenched her hands into a fist to ignoring the tears which were threatening to pour out of her eyes. She replied in a soft voice

"How are you mum?"
She used to call Mrs.jeon 'mum' bcs she didn't liked to be called aunt.
The lady smiled at her sweetly.
"I'm doing great, what about you?"
Ara just shrugged while taking the seat near the bed.

"As usual fine"
Mrs.jeon understood the meaning in an instant. She placed a hand on her face while caressing her cheek.
"I know how much fine you are doing"
Ara smiled half-heartedly, the smile held so much pain that she never showed to anyone. Not even allysa or her team.

"So why you got here? Didn't took care of yourself?"
Ara scolded gently to avoid the emotional topic, mrs.jeon gasped dramatically and ate the apple which jungkook gave her
"I took care of myself but the weather wasn't good at all"

Jungkook scoffed at his mother's response. He passed the plate of fruits to Ara when she extended her hands.
"She's lying, she have been starving herself to look like the ladies in her kitty gang parties"
A quiet chuckle left Ara's mouth while her hands kept on cutting fruits."You're too beautiful to compare yourself with those old aged aunties"
Mrs.jeon laughed at that and the chit-chat kept on going for an hour.
