chapter 8 (Hi , Junghoo_shi)

"Would you come work for me ?"

What now ? Working for Jungkook?

What was his job ,by the way ?

Jimin's mind didn't know how to react to his words . He was already somehow confused about Jungkook's early statements about ...well, you know ,being worried ,feeling guilty, and wanting to protect the small boy ,and now what was that?

Although a tiny part somewhere in his heart was glad and even excited about the offer ,he couldn't disregard the fear that was there all the time to remind him not to trust anyone.

But Jungkook was not just anyone... he had saved him two times when he didn't even have to ... but did that mean that he was reliable?

Maybe he was just doing this for a ...a purpose? He didn't know...

Well, if you look at the situation logically ,Jimin wasn't safe anywhere ... even now that he was walking almost freely in the streets ,there was this possibility of the special guards finding him and making him come back .

There wasn't any place that he could refer to as safe these days ... his entire being , even his breathing was risky , when the life of his Taehyungie was bound to his , the thought of Jimin being forced to come back to the palace and the horrible things that would happen after that, terrified the small boy to the instant that he hated his entire being , but it wasn't his fault... he was just trying so hard to escape his destiny... so why wouldn't he trust the tall man?

For once, Jimin wanted to trust his heart and let it lead him cause he didn't feel bad about that handsome guy at all, not even a tiny bit .

How could he ? The tall man was his savior...

Jimin hated to say that, but Jungkook was all he had always wanted to be , strong ,protective, attractive, steady , and sometimes so gentle and soft...

Oh God ... how could Jimin not trust him when he saw his gentle look on himself ,patiently waiting for him to answer to his offer ...his request, to be specific ... there was this plea in his tone , a hope that Jimin would say yes ...

Well, you see , he was already kind of working for Jungkook, right ?

Because he could definitely remember Duri_shi's words when he first saw him , saying the same things everyone would say ,that he didn't need a worker cause he couldn't pay him due to the market crash and then ,him again ,agreeing to give Jimin the job just because someone else, being Jungkook, was paying him ...

So ...it was actually the tall man who was in charge there ... not Duri_shi .He was just some guy who helped Jungkook for the sake of money...

Jimin looked back and forth between Jungkook's eyes , searching for any kind of pity towards Jimin . There was none ,though ...

Something was there in the latter's eyes that Jimin wanted to define as care, concern, worry ...

Something he needed right now , a supportor...

"What ... do you do ? As a job?"

"I'm a trainer. I teach martial arts.!"

"I think it wouldn't be bad if I teach you some moves, you know ? In case any mother fucker troubler would disturb you again ?"

Said the tall man and waited for a second, then added:

"And then, after you learn everything I teach you like a good boy ,you can be my assistant, help me with teaching and stuff ,"
