"Thank you...." Jimin murmured to the policemen who had come to the hospital to take his statement.They told him the stalker had been arrested and would be charged with stalking and attempted murder...they also informed him that he'd done this before so as it wasn't his first time he'd be looking at a long sentence.
Jimins arm was stitched and bandaged and he walked out of the consulting room to find Hobi,Suga and Jungkook waiting.
"Jimin my goodness you look pale does your arm hurt?"
Jimin bit his lip then bowed to Hobi,Jungkook and Suga.
"I'm so sorry for getting you all involved in this,he was dangerous and I nearly got you killed Hobi,you and Suga told me to go to the police and I didn't listen,you have every right to hate me for my bad decision.I only met you tonight Jungkook but you got involved in my troubles I hope you weren't hurt and I apologise."
"Jimin stop it's not your fault you couldn't have known he would do that....you only try to see the good in people but he is just evil,I truly believe he would have hurt you if you had said no again."
"Don't be so kind Hobi he nearly killed you I couldn't live with that....."
"But due to your quick thinking he didn't "
"I'm sure Suga doesn't see it that way," Jimin whispered.
Suga who had thought he was going to lose his love shook his head.
"Jimin it was something none of us could foresee ,you pushed Hobi out the way and for that I'm sincerely grateful but I'm sorry you got hurt."
"Hey guys can we stop the doom and gloom?we are all here,Jimin how many stitches in your wound,it can be a battle scar!" Jungkook piped in trying to lighten the mood.
"I don't know but I hope it fades..."
"What?you can tell the story of how you saved your friend so your a hero!"
"Why would I brag about a scar especially as it's all my fault..." Jimin said solemnly.
"Oh ...you don't want to mark your milky skin huh,spose you don't like tatts either?" Jungkook grinned looking down at his adorned arm.
"Actually Jimin has a tattoo across his chest," Hobi mused.
"Really,now that I wouldn't have imagined!" Jungkook said sounding intrigued.
"I'm not a complete wimp you know....."
"Did I say you were,what next lip piercing like mine?" He joked
"Why on earth would I want that...it's old news and it makes your mouth look grubby."Jimin retorted
Suga snorted with laughter," I told him that to but he thinks it looks cool."
"Well it's not it's old fashioned...just like his smoking."
"How do you know I smoke you haven't seen me !!"
"I can smell it on you I have a sensitive nose,why someone who promotes fitness smokes I don't know."
Jimins tone totally dismissed the bad habit putting Jungkook in his place
Suga and Hobi grinned as they watched the two.
"Hey...I did help save you tonight you know???"
Jimin looked immediately contrite.
"You're right and I shouldn't have expressed my opinion I apologise."
Jungkook didn't like how guilty Jimin looked.
"Hey it's ok I was kidding...and everyone is entitled to an opinion.dont fret it!"
"I have to go pay now you guys get on home it's late I've taken up enough of your time."
They walked with Jimin to the payment desk only for him to stop suddenly ," oh no!"
"What's up?"
"My wallets in my bag in my car"
Jungkook put his hand in his jacket bringing out a black card and going to the desk.
"Park Jimins payment...."
Within minutes it was done but Jimin was flushed with embaressment
"You shouldn't have done that you don't even know me!"
"But...."
"Look guys let me drive you two back to the studio your cars there and Jungkooks bike...it's getting late so no more fussing huh?" Suga stated.
Jimin nodded biting his lip and keeping quiet. Once back at the studio after assuring Hobi for the umpteenth time he was ok he waved them off. He panicked until he pulled the door handle and found his car was unlocked.He quickly checked inside the car to make sure his wallet and bag was still there.
"All ok?" Jungkook asked from behind him.
"Oh! Yes er it's all here,can you give me the hospital bill?"
"It's fine it's nothing,"
"Please I don't like being beholden to anyone,if you could give me the bill I'll have the money sent over to you....its Jj building isn't it...where Suga works?"
"It is but how about you go out with me for dinner as payment sometime?"
"Me....and you?"
"Yes....like on a date"
"Oh but it wouldn't because a date ....i mean it's not like we have anything in common ..."
"Are you a snob Jimin that you don't want to be seen with a heavily tattooed man?" Jungkook frowned
"What?oh no....its just you're obviously someone rich and famous your a CEO of a company,I've heard Suga talk about you to Hobi,how you built your company up from a young age to what it is today...."
"So...what has that got to do with our date?"
"Well I'm a nobody,I'm not rich and we don't move in the same circles,I wouldn't want to embarrass you,"
With that he held his hand out for the bill and astonished Jungkook gave him it.
With a quiet thank you and Goodbye Jimin got into his car wincing at the pain in his arm.
"I could drive you?" Jungkook called through the open window.
"I'm already in your debt so thank you but no,drive safely," with that Jimin turned the wheel and drove off.
"I'll be damned....he doesn't like my piercing or smoking,he turned me down for a date and he was obviously in pain but wouldn't let me drive him ...and Suga said nobody says no to me! Hell I feel quite let down....this is unusual!!"
He wondered why he also felt like he'd been given a dare,he smiled to himself.Little did Jimin realise that in the near future they would be working 'neighbours'
"I'm gonna show you Jimin I'm a nice guy to have around" he murmured before getting on his bike then glancing across the road to the building he was going to buy,he grinned,this was going to be fun he liked a challenge!
Switching on his bike he drove home feeling a sense of purpose he hadn't felt in a while.
Jimin meanwhile got home tiredly letting himself into his small apartment and walking straight into the bathroom stripping off his blood stained clothes and having a shower being careful not to soak the bandage on his arm.
Drying off he stepped into his bedroom and climbed into his bed naked too tired to even put pyjamas on.
As he drifted off he couldn't help the dreams that had a certain handsome man with wild curly black hair and tattoos on one arm appearing in a way that heated Jimin up even in his sleep.
