"Don't try anything sneaky", Jimin warned to Jin as they headed to Jung Corporation together.

"Aye Aye Boss", Jin mocked Jimin who simply rolled his eyes and started the car to Jung Corp. As days passed, Jin became a member of the Kim Mansion much to Jimin's annoyance. But surprisingly, Jin didn't do anything.

Be it at Kim Mansion and at Jung Corporation, Jin followed Jimin's orders dutifully which made Jimin both suspicious as well as surprised. This isn't the Jin he knew or everyone knew. In fact, he was getting along with everyone. People started liking him and his looks and diplomacy got him praises from every colleague.

Jimin knew this was somewhere like a calm before the storm. He knew Jin was up to something. But right now, he couldn't do anything but wait for Jin to make a move. However, at Kim Mansion things were not looking great especially after Jin started staying with them. The air was palpable and it was evident. There was this tension between everyone but each held their emotions to each other. What was Jin planning? One could only wonder.

"Eomma you need to help me." Jin spoke on the phone. Jimin was in a meeting making Jin free for some time. So he called up one person he could trust now....his mom who was ranting about how much she missed her son.

"Help you, how? Jinnie, I don't understand why you are staying at Kim Mansion."

"Eomma, can you meet me at CY café at 6 pm? I need to ask you something."

"Jinnie, you know how much appa is angry with you. It's been more than a couple of weeks. Why are you still staying there?"

"Eomma please..."

"Okay." . Jae hung up the phone as they agreed to meet. She needed to see her son, talk to him. Hwan was warming up to Jin until Jin stayed at Kim Mansion. Things were not looking good. She wanted to convince Jin to come back at Jung Mansion but she couldn't force Jin. This was the second time Jin attempted for a suicide. The doctor said such suicidal thoughts can be harmful and it is not good to leave such people alone. At least at Kim Mansion, Hoseok and everyone can keep an eye on him. She also knew if Jin was at Jung Mansion, Jin and Hwan would not be easygoing on each other and things would get worse.

"Get in the car." Jimin barked to Jin.

"I am going to meet my friends. And....I do know how to call a cab. You go home." Jin said as he strodded along the road.

"What friends? Where are you going?", Jimin asked his eyes scrutinizing Jin.

"None of your business." Jin retorted.

"It is my business. Remember, Joon hyung told me to drive with you to and fro from office.".

"Well, I am not a kid and I will talk to Joonie. Now you go...shooo", Jin scoffed as he began walking.

"I am your boss, Seokjin...get in the damn car", Jimin was seething.

"The working hours are 9-5. And ohhh...its 5.15.", Jin smirked and started to walk again.

"Fine...Go to hell for all I care", Jimin turned on the ignition of his car and started driving to his home.

At the CY café

Jin was waiting his foot tapping nervously. Within a few minutes, he saw his mother walk in. he hugged his mother missing her comfort and support so much.
