Jimin Protectors ' Book 1 '

Chapter 115 '✅'

Author's POV:

Jimin's School...

He walked excitedly to his class to share what happened with his best friend. He held himself so hard to not say a word in their phone calls. He wanted to get the reaction live. But to his disappointment, his best friend is not waiting for him. For the first time, he's always earlier than him. His mother never lets him skip any day, and since he started to date Ara, he never got sick, so...

Jimin: "Ara, where is Minmin?!"

He put his bag on his chair, looking at his girl hoping for a positive answer. Maybe in the bathroom or some teachers took him for a talk, even if his desk is empty of his belongings.

Ara: "I don't know, but I didn't find him when I came this morning."

His heart sank in his chest. This is the first time he will spend the day alone with Ara. What is he going to do?

Jimin: "I will check on him."

He left his bag on his desk and left the class.

He kept ringing Taemin's phone, but no one picked up. He didn't give up until he heard a warm female voice come from the other side.

...: "Jimin!"

Jimin: "Auntie, where is Minmin? Why didn't he come to school? Is he okay?!"

Taemin's Mother: "Yes, dear, don't worry. He just broke his leg late last night, and the doctor gave him strong medicine, so he's asleep now. When he wakes up, I will let him call you."

Jimin's eyes widened.

Jimin: "WHAT? Why? What did he do to break his leg? Auntie, are you sure he's okay?!"

She chuckled at Jimin's reaction.

Taemin's Mother: "Your stupid friend woke up in the middle of the night wanting some water. He didn't pay attention to the staircase, so he fell really hard and broke his ankle. The rest of his bones are pretty fine. Don't worry."

Jimin whined as his friend's mother laughed at his friend's suffering.

Jimin: "Auntie!! I want to come see him now."

Taemin's Mother: "No, you are not. Finish your classes first, then come have lunch with us. Go, don't waste your time."

And she hung up the call.

Jimin was looking at his phone when he jumped the moment he felt a hand on his shoulder.

Ara: "I'm sorry, Minie. I called you many times, but you seemed lost. What happened with Taemin?!"

He took a step back. This is the first time he will be with Ara alone, without Taemin to be there for him. What will he do now?

Jimin: "He... he broke his leg. I will visit him after school."

Ara felt the tension between them. She took a step back too to give Jimin the space he needs.

Ara: "Tell him I say hi and to get well soon."

She sadly smiled at him and went back to their class. Jimin pulled his hair in frustration.

Jimin: "You are so stupid, Jimin. Why do you keep hurting her? What did she do to deserve this from me?"

He went to the washroom to wash his face. He needs to hold himself together. He can't lose her. Who will stay with someone who is afraid to be touched? Either I tell her or I accept her touch. She doesn't deserve to stay in the dark, he thought.

Taehyung's Office...

It's already been 5 hours since he came back to his office, but Yun Hee didn't move from her office. When he passed her office, she just stood up and bowed without saying a word. All she's doing now is following the rules he gave her long back when he hired her.

He went to his office to find his schedule on his desk. No meal offers or coffee. She didn't step in the office. He kept glancing through the glass wall, but she never looked at him. She's too focused for her personality.

Taehyung: "Since when are you that good at following the rules?! Why am I even bothered? That's perfect. I'm finally safe from this stupid girl...

But... Did she take back her words? Even if .. it's better, I will be free to have all the time to heal. No rush... she just gave up so soon without knowing what's wrong with me. And she has the guts to say she loves me!!! You liar, fake stupid girl."

The door opened, so Tae snapped his head up as if he was waiting for someone, but his face fell when he found Jungkook in front of him.

Jungkook: "Why the long face, hyung? Did someone bother you?!"

He headed to Tae's office with a load of files in his hands.

Taehyung: "Nothing. What are all these files?!"

Jungkook: "Your signature is much needed on each one of them. You need to finish it today. We waited until you came back, so no more delays."

Taehyung pulled them from his hand and started to check them without looking at him.

Taehyung: "Are you my new secretary now?! Why are you the one who is bringing this?"

He's avoiding eye contact with his brother.

Jungkook smirked.

Jungkook: "Why, hyung?! Are you waiting for a more beautiful face than me to deliver the files?"

Tae slapped Jungkook's shoulder with the file he was checking.

Taehyung: "Yah... we are working here. That's not why I'm asking this, but why are you hiring her if you are the one who will do her job? Just fire her."

Jungkook: "Okay, fine, stop hitting me. It hurts... One of the rules is she can't get in the room when you are here. When the accident of her coming to our home happened, I talked with her. If she makes another mistake, she will be fired immediately. We can't afford another attack for you again, so I told her to not step in the room. She will manage your work remotely, and me or one of our hyungs will deliver any files to you."

Taehyung's eyes fell down. He knows this is right. This is how he deals with others all his life .. and this is the only way his body would allow him to deal with her ... but it's been so long since he didn't see her. He missed her. He's okay with talking with her. He was having fun eating with her.

He enjoyed her care when she brought him coffee in the middle of the day. He just can't handle her touch... but he can't be selfish... Who will accept someone who can't be touched?! Is her love strong enough to know and stay, or will she run away the moment she knows the truth?!
