"Fuck this chair!" Jimin cursed in annoyance as he rubbed his ankle which got a little twisted because of the fall, his face scrunching in pain while he winced silently.

"Mr. Park, are you okay?" The manager asked with concern but the aforementioned just gave a pained smile, nodding that he was fine , so the manager took his leave, sliding the matter of interrogating the idol for daring to date someone for later. He can easily deal with Taehyung later on.

"Are you actually okay?" Taehyung spoke for the first time since then, his hand examining Jimin's ankle who winced a little because of the touch on the injured region.

"No? How can I-I be okay after twisting my ankle? It's not much serious yet it's not like I love the pain." Jimin said angrily, pouting really hard which made him look lika little vixen.

Taehyung silently chuckled at the older because he knows that Jimin becomes irritated when he is in pain or sick. He removed Jimin from his lap and got off which earned a hard glare from the older who was probably wondering that the younger was just going to leave him here.

"I'm not running away." The rockstar said while picking up Jimin in bridal style who let out a surprised gasp. "Do you want to go home and let me treat you or should I call the doctor of my crew here?" He asked when he felt the older wrap his arms tightly around his neck for support.

"Home" Jimin mumbled, still pouting.

As Taehyung took him outside towards the exit, Jimin couldn't help but think about the moment when they both shared intimacy with each other back in the room. What was that? Was it just heat of the moment? Even if it was, it didn't hurt him. Instead of feeling bad, he was holding on the hope that the younger must feel something for him and there was no way Taehyung would intitate a kiss with his soon to be brother in law.

The staffs were stunned when they saw Jimin in Taehyung's arms, ready for departure. One of them nudged the bodyguard and gave him a eye signal. The bodyguard nodded before moving forward and standing in Taehyung's way, stopping him from going out.

"The fans are still outside, waiting for your departure. You can't go while carrying Mr. Park like this, Taehyung ssi."

The rockstar had to unwillingly let go of Jimin from his arms as two of the staff held the older securely, helping him. Jimin gave an assuring smile to the younger before going with the staff to which Taehyung responded with a small yet hesitant smile because whenever it comes to Jimin, the younger  becomes extra protective of him.

Jimin was sitting inside the car while looking at the crowd which was screaming on top of their lungs when Taehyung walked passed them, waving and smiling at them and exchanging few words of greetings with some of the fans.

The rockstar entered inside the car in front of the car in which Jimin was seated. Both of them were unhappy and restless because of the seperation. The older recieved a text from the younger asking if he's good and he responded positively with a smiley emoji.

After they left from there, both of the cars stopped after travelling two kilometres at a gas station and both of them stepped out, exchanging few glances and soft smiles. Jimin's heart was thumping because how sweet the things were going but there was a fear hiding at the back of his head , wondering if it's the silence before the storm.

"Hyung, I'll come in your car." Taehyung offered and the older couldn't be happier than this.

They both immediately went inside the car and sat in the backseat together. Since the driver was still outside, it was just two of them alone. Both of them were thinking about the same thing silently.
