"I...I want you to be mine".
Armani was stunned, her mouth was open but nothing was coming out. Not in her 19 years of living did she imagine herself in a relationship. That she would end up old and alone watering plants and watching the Golden Girls on Sunday nights.

But, somehow she was lucky enough to be asked to be someones actual lover.
It's not like she didn't want to. She was just scared.
"Y-You don't have to answer right now but I just feel like these feelings have been growing and I don't wanna keep hi-
"Yes, more than anything", she replied, a sweet grin playing on her lips.
"Wait really? If you're joking please tell me, it's not funny", he said with hopeful eyes, making Mani laugh.
She nodded, leaning in as she gave him a kiss in the process.

"I've also grown feelings for you as well, I was just scared to say anything since this would be my first relationship. I've only had crushes all my life and the times I have tried talking to guys before but....I'm always treated like shit so", she chuckled, seeing the guilt and upset look on his face.

"But you don't have to worry about it, its my fault for letting it happen".
"No it's not, don't say that. Whatever those assholes have done to you wasn't your fault. Do you hear me?", she nodded, seeing him relax a bit as his shoulders felt less tense under her small hands.

She soon laid her head on his shoulder, a small smile on her lips. She felt so at peace under his touch, so relaxed. A man never brought her that feeling before.
She remembered one specific guy in her high school years that changed her life forever, but she would rather keep it under wraps. Because when she thought about that night, she felt disgusted in herself. She felt disguted in herself and she felt ashamed. Ashamed that she couldn't stop it. No matter how many times she screamed for help or practically begged the guy to stop.
So, she kept it to herself.

Tae and Jada were the only ones who knew what happened, and they were there for her until her rough day got better.
Just like family should.

----

The party went on and everyone was having a good time. Armani got to meet a few of the men Jimin worked with. She met one guy that had a smile brighter than sunshine, that's actually what he went by sometimes.

Sunshine.

He had little freckles and was average height for a man, maybe an inch or two shorter. His hair was blond, slicked back and neck length. Lee Felix was his name, Armani's favorite so far. They got along well and Felix was more than welcoming to her.

"Ah, this is Changbin. Changbin this...this is my girlfriend, Armani", Jimin grinned at just using the term "girlfriend". He loved how proud he felt saying it.
Armani smiled shyly, having to get used to it. 
"Ah, I've heard a lot about you during our lunch breaks", Changbin smirked, bowing politely. Jimin gave him a glare, signaling him to shut up.

"O-Oh really? I didn't think I was that interesting to a man", she chuckled, seeing Jimin's face slowly becoming red.
"Well, you'd be surprised. You'd think you're all this guy ever thinks about, huh Jimin-shiii?", he teased.
"You're lucky we're in public or I'd beat your ass", Jimin chuckled himself, nudging Binnie in the arm.

They walked away after making conversation with Changbin, Jimin asking for a rating like he had for the past five guests.
"God he was buff as hell, how many times does he work out in a day?", Jimin laughed at her words.
"Maybe once or twice a day, I've worked out with the guy before. His athletic drive is insane", he chuckled.

"Here I'm gonna go get some more wine, wait here okay?", Armani nodded, him leaving for only just a moment to get a refill of red wine in his glass.

She sighed, taking a sip from her glass. She looked around, smiling or bowing at those that passed her.
She kept looking in the direction of where Jimin walked to, paranoid he wouldn't be back as soon as she thought.
But why was she stressing? A glass of wine shouldn't take long to get, paranoia was sweeping over her.

"Hey uh, have we met?", a man asked, hia sudden presence making Armani flinch slightly as she turned around in his direction.
"O-Oh um no, no we haven't. I'm kind of new here so I don't know anyone here really", she replied. Just his presence made the hairs on her arms rise.
She rubbed her hand against her dress, hoping it would remove the sweat.

"Ah, that's okay. I'm Yuta, Yuta Nakamotto. But, Yuta is just fine. Especially for a fine little thing like you", he smirked.
"Is this nigga really trying to flirt with me?".
Mani didn't wanna be mean, but she gave him a look of discomfort. Unfortunately, he didn't seem to notice. Or, at least pretended he didn't.

"Are you here with anyone? Friend? Boyfriend?", he asked, starting to get closer slowly. She backed away a bit, feeling her breathing becoming fast. She brought a shaky hand to her hair, tucking it behind her ear out of habit.

"She's here with me, Yuta", Jimin spoke from behind her, his hand on her waist protectively.
He gave the darkest of stares, making it was just enough to tell him that he was not someone to be messed with. That Armani was his.

"Ah, I was just wanting to get to know the girl that's all. Why so up tight brother?".
"Your not my brother, Yuta. Not anymore. Stay away from her and stay away from Aera", Jimin replied as he and Armani walked away.

"You guys don't seem to get along very well", Mani pointed out.
"He's not someone we trust anymore but somehow he was still invited. Yuta is one of the most dangerous men in the mafia field, he used to be a part of our team until he killed half the men we worked with on a mission a few years ago.
And since then, me or the boys haven't been in touch with him", Armani nodded with understanding.

They walked over to the boys, Taehyung holding Aera in his arms.
"Oh just in time, she's been missing you guys", Tae chuckled. He handed her to Jimin, a smile spreading on her lips through her paci. It dropped from her mouth soon after, sucking on her fingers.
"No mama's don't do that, it's not good for your little gums", Armani spoke softly, putting her paci back into her mouth.
"Mama's? That's new", Jimin grinned.

"Oh um yeah, she likes it don't you baby?", Mani hummed as she began to tickle Aera, her giggles muffled by her paci.
The boys cooed, enjoying the cute sight. 

Soon enough, the food was ready and everyone gathered around in different tables to eat. 
Armani, Jada and the rest of the boys sat together.
Aera sat in Armanis lap as she ate, Jimin sitting next to them.
Aera would tug on Mani's dress from time to time, signaling she wanted more food.

"Goodness, you must be hungry my love", Armani hummed, giving her little portions from her plate at a time. It was cute seeing the way she chewed, her cheeks puffy from the food.
Jimin looked over at the sight, grinning as he placed his hand on Mani's thigh. All she could do was smile shyly in return.

Everything was good, and everyone was having nothing but fun that night.
They talked and laughed until their stomachs hurt.

But, a certain man stirred with anger and a silent rage. Wanting any type of revenge he could get, no matter the price.
And that was the devil himself.

Yuta Nakamotto.
