Park Jimin Daring Wife || PJM ✔️ (COMPLETE)

C79

Two hours prior.

Ji Cheong Shin woke up to the pleasant sunlight washing over his tiled floor. It sprawled over his rug, turning it from white into a yellow hue. Surprisingly, he had a very pleasant sleep. The sound of Chapin’s piano piece filled the spacious room. He spent five minutes stretching before rolling out of his bed and shutting off the tiny piano alarm clock by his nightstand. He stretched a bit more before opening his white, linen curtains, allowing more sunshine to seep into the room. He closed his eyes and basked in the warmth. My, what a good morning—

AHHHHH!

—Or not.

He was shaken by the obnoxious shrill cries in his apartment. If he hadn’t known better, he would have thought someone was being murdered next door. What exactly was going on?! He wondered if he should make a noise complaint to the neighbor. Then it dawned on him. He didn’t have a next-door neighbor. There were only two apartments on every floor. That was how large his apartment was.

’I screwed up. Big time.’ He thought to himself, grabbing a robe and storming to the guest bedroom. He swung the door open and there she was, in all of her screaming glory.

"Wh-who?! Y-you?? W-what? H-h-how?!" Park Jennie stammered. She was a fumbling mess and was holding onto her blanket like a dress. She acted like she woke up naked when in reality it was just a different set of clothes.

"D-did we...?" She trailed off, her eyes falling to the floor in horror. Stupid, stupid, stupid! She wanted to fling herself out of the inviting window. It was better than facing this...this predicament!

"What? Made love?"

"Don’t say it like that! You make it sound like we’re in love." She buried her face into her hands. ’My God, why did I have to drink so much?! What happened last night?’ It was a blur. She didn’t know how she got here or what prompted her to come here.

Ji Cheong Shin was offended. Her words cut deeper than he anticipated. He kept his mouth tightly shut. The rolling clouds in his eyes were an understatement for how enraged he was by her words. He considered her more than a friend, even saw her as a woman.

Love was still a far stretch, but he knew his heartfelt something for the little fawn on his bed. He didn’t give out nicknames or invite people to sleep in his house to just anyone. He didn’t allow her inside just because she was his boss’ best friend or President Park’s younger sister. He invited her inside because he actually cared about her. And unlike his incredibly dense boss, he knew what it meant when his heart sped up at the sight of a person.

"If you’re done with this self-argument, I have to get ready for the day and head off to work. Feel free to make yourself at home and leave whenever you like. The front door locks behind you."

Park Jennie shuddered. The iciness of his voice could freeze the whole ocean. His voice reminded her of Park Jimin, except it had its own unique edge. She felt like she was reprimanded by a Headmaster.

Guilt swarmed her. "Did...Did I offend you?"

Yes.

"No." Ji Cheong Shin left without looking back. He would’ve dramatically slammed the door, but his door didn’t have that capability. The door, no matter how hard you slam it, would always close with a soft "click." It was designed to be that way since he didn’t like loud noises. At this moment, he wished it didn’t behave so perfectly.

"I definitely offended him." Park Jennie huffed under her breath, climbing out of the bed, groaning in pain at the massive headache that kicked in. She took an eternity to hobble out of the bedroom, but Ji Cheong Shin was nowhere to be found. She sat on top of the stool tucked below the kitchen counter. She lazily swung her legs and her eyes lit up when Ji Cheong Shin finally came out of his room, freshly dressed, but very disheveled? Was he lost in thought while getting dressed?
