FACE-OFF | PJM

Chapter 8

Seulgi's response was straightforward. "It's quite simple, Mr. Lee. My husband doesn't want Lisa to be involved with Kim Mingyu. If she were to become part of the Kim family, it would pose a greater threat to him."

Taemin considered her words carefully, his smirk revealing his intrigue. "Jimin isn't easily provoked, and with your current status, how do you intend to get close to him? Furthermore, I've heard that Lisa has an array of bodyguards surrounding her. How do you plan to approach her?"

Seulgi maintained her confident demeanor. "Rest assured, Mr. Lee, I have my own methods. You need not concern yourself with that. Your role is to cooperate with my husband."

With a nod and a sly grin, Taemin signaled his agreement to their newfound alliance.

Y/N had just finished her shower and noticed Jimin sitting by the window, engrossed in a book. She settled down beside him and gently plucked the book from his hand. "What are you reading?" she inquired.

Jimin gestured toward a stack of books. "I had someone send me books about pregnancy and childbirth."

A smile graced Y/N's lips. "Are you trying to get prepared for me?"

She had already delved into extensive reading on the subject and possessed substantial knowledge.

Jimin chuckled. "No, I want to be prepared so I can take care of you."

Y/N's smile grew warmer as she wrapped her arms around his neck. "I'm perfectly capable of taking care of myself."

Jimin's brow furrowed slightly. "I'm your husband."

Y/N playfully shook her head. "Just a boyfriend."

"Fine, let's register our marriage tomorrow."

"You have a business trip to Singapore with Lisa and Taehyung tomorrow. You don't remember?" Y/N reminded him.

He looked a bit surprised. "I almost forgot about that..."

Y/N nodded. "Yes, it's tomorrow. Jungkook will be joining you, right?"

Jimin confirmed, "Yes, that's right. The Jeon company is planning to invest in this new project."

As he tidied up the books, Y/N noticed he placed one inside his suitcase. She couldn't help but comment, "You're only going for two days, will you have time to read it?"

Jimin replied with determination, "I'll make time for it."

Y/N couldn't help but admire his dedication. "When our baby is born, we won't need Auntie Wang's help anymore. We'll just let you take care of him."

Knowing he had an early flight, Jimin initially didn't want Y/N to accompany him to the airport. However, when he realized she had already woken up early, he sighed and said, "Why don't you go back to sleep? You don't have to come to the airport with me."

Y/N shook her head with a smile. "I want to."

As Lisa arrived, she went directly to Jungkook and greeted him with an interesting term, "Second lead, morning."

Y/N was a bit confused and asked, "Second lead?"

Lisa opened her mouth to explain but received a sharp glare from Jungkook. She quickly changed her response, shaking her head and blinking. "It's a secret between us two."

Jimin, still puzzled, shook his head, and Lisa continued, "Of course, it's a secret. I can't tell all of you." She pointed at Y/N, Jimin, and Taehyung.

Taehyung, recalling their conversation from last night, finally laughed. "I think I know this secret."

Lisa glared at him, warning, "Don't tell them or I will stir-fry you."

Jimin interjected, "Taehyung is my person."

Lisa persisted, "Then I'll ask you to do it..."

Jungkook, who had been silent throughout, decided to end the conversation. "Come on, it's time."

Jimin nodded gently, his fingers caressing Y/N's hair as he spoke softly, "We're going to leave now. Take care, babe."

Y/N smiled warmly, her eyes filled with affection as she waved her hand, bidding him farewell. "You take care too, Jimin."

"Don't worry, Y/N," he reassured her. "We'll take good care of Jimin and make sure he doesn't overwork himself."

She smiled at Taehyung's words, grateful for his support. "Thank you, Taehyung. I know you will."

Jimin had always been a hard worker, and Y/N knew that he would do his best to succeed on this trip. But it didn't stop her from worrying about him, especially since she was carrying their child. She hoped that he would take care of himself and not push too hard.

With a final exchange of glances and a lingering touch, Y/N turned away, heading towards the car with Jimin's driver at her side. She knew it was safer for her to be driven, especially now that she was pregnant, and she appreciated Jimin's protective nature.
