"Hello, this is Choi Yesung speaking. I would like to talk to your boss. I have valuable informations about BTS, I think I've found their weakness..."

POV. Jimin

When I woke up, I found myself in an all too familiar room. I still felt very sleepy, I decided to stretch myself to awaken my heavy arms. I sat up, looking through the room. A huff escapes my mouth 'I can't believe those guys! Yoongi just came out of nowhere and dragged me back here... Don't they have better things to do?'

I jumped down from the bed and was about to leave the room, when I saw my mirror image, 'I was still wearing my working attire, I have to give it back!', I thought to myself. Yoongi seemed pretty strict about me not going back to work, so I'll probably need to resign, if I haven't been fired already. 'I'll just ask them, if I can bring the clothes back. They can't keep me from doing that, right?'

I went to the kitchen were I found Hoseok and Taehyung already sitting on their respective seats. "Jimin-ah! How are you? Have you slept well?" Hoseok asked as soon as he noticed me. "I have, thank you, I hope you also had a good night." I answered, while giving the other a small smile. I made my way over to the seat I have occupied before. "I've rested well, now that I can sleep knowing that you are safe!" he said cheeringly and I felt a bit guilty that I seem to have caused him distress. 

"Allow me to serve you some delicious food." Taehyung said, reaching for my plate. I quickly took hold of it myself, causing him frown at my objection to his friendly action. "I'll do it, myself! Your portions are too big for my liking." I explained. Instead of letting go of the plate, as I expected, he merely smiled and tugged harder, making it impossible for me to hold on any longer. "That's good, you need to eat a lot! You've been on the streets for days; I'm sure you've eaten too little!" "It's no-" "When was the time you ate?" Hoseok interrupted. "I had an apple yesterday morning. I'm not exactly sure what time it was, though." I answered truthfully; it hadn't been too long since I last ate. "If that's the case, I'll make the portion even bigger than I first intended." Taehyung informed me. "Wait, what? Didn't you hear me? I already tol-" "Don't you raise your voice at us! We are your hyungs. Consider it a punishment for making us worry so much!" Taehyung scolded me. I began pouting as I watched him fill my plate with all kinds food.

"Do not leave even a crumb on your plate. You are permitted to leave only when your plate is empty, not a second sooner," Taehyung says as he places the now full plate in front of me. My eyes widen, and they became as big as tennis balls. 'I am not a cow; I only have one stomach. Where should put all this food?' I thought as I search for help, my eyes meeting those of Hoseok. "You do not need to look at me with those eyes! I am on Taehyung's side here. You are growing, so you still need a lot of energy! Now, you had better start eating. I have nothing to do today, so I can wait all day until you have finished your meal." Hoseok said in his usual friendly tone, though if listened closely, one could detect a serious note beneath his cheerfulness.

Both of them looked at me with anticipation. I let out a small sigh before taking my first bite. "Is it delicious?" Hoseok inquired, to which I only responded with a nod, as I was still chewing. "That's good! You have a lot more to eat!" the other remarked teasingly.

They both eventually turned their attention back to own plates and resumed eating, which was quite a relief as I was no longer the center of attention.

As time passed, most of the others had joined us for breakfast; the only ones missing were Namjoon Yoongi.

I was already full ten minutes ago, I have eaten so much, at least for my standard, that I felt like I would burst any second now, but yet there was still so much food on my plate, about half of the original amount. I was mindlessly poking around in my food with my fork, until my behavior must have been noticed. "Jimin-ah eat up! I already told you that I'll not let you leave this room until your plate is completely empty." as I looked up I was meet with Taehyung's eyes. "I know hyung. I just already ate so much I feel like bursting any second now..." I said in a small voice. 

"What do you mean, you already ate so much? Just look at how much foods still on your plate!", Jin fumed at the sight of my plate. "I know, I am sorry but Taehyung gave me way too much food to begin with... I already have eaten half of my original portion!" "Don't put the blame on me! I only gave you a bigger portion, because you haven't eaten since yesterday morning, and all you ate was an apple, so who knows when you had the last proper meal!" Taehyung commented on my, as he would probably call it, accusation. 

"I am sorry, hyung. I didn't mean it like that.", I apologized to Taehyung, "Would it be okay, if I go for a walk and countinue eating after I returned? I really can't fit anything else in my stomach." I asked carefully, observing their reactions closely. Taehyung's and Hoseok's eyes were observing me silently until their gazes meet. It looked almost as if they where having a telephatic conversation, just sitting silently in front of each other until Hoseok broke their eye contact and sighed "If you promise, you'll be eating the rest after your walk, you can go.", "Really? Thank you Hyung!", I said pleasently surprised and the excitment was heard in my voice, the others chuckled a bit at my excitment.

"Can I have your card?" the mood switched in an instance. "Which card?" "For the gate of course." I looked at them irritated 'how else am I supposed to go for a walk? I can't fly!' "No, no, no you are not going out of our property!" Jin shook his head frantically. 

I frowned at their serious eyes staring at me. "I don't understand this. You just told me I was allowed to go for a walk!" I protested a hint of confusion was still heard in my words. "Yeah, you can go for a walk, but you can't go further than to the wall. We have an enormous garden, you'll have enough space to take a long and quiet stroll." Hoseok's carries a hint of strictness in his words. "Bu-" "No buts, we won't change our opinion. We won't let you g out so that you can try to either run away, get hurt or in some other troubles!" Yoongi joined our conversation, he was until now silently listening and concentrating mostly on his breakfast. "Why do you even want to get out? Our garden is more beautiful than all of Seoul's parks together!" Taehyung asked irritated, his expression changed just for a few seconds into a sad on "Do you really want to get away from us this badly? If so then I'll lock you into your room and chain you up, so you'll never worry me and the others ever again!" he said the last part in a teasing tone with a sly smile plastered on his face.

"No, it's not like that! Look at me, I am still wearing my uniform, I just wanted to go to the bar to give it back and apologize to them for leaving early yesterday." I defended myself for asking that question earlier. "You're not going back there!" they shouted almost simultaneously, which was so sudden and unexpected that I couldn't keep myself from flinching. 

"I am sorry..." I mummbled a small apology, you may wonder for what, but I wasn't sure either. Eventhough I was frustrated with the others behavior, I shouldn't be the one apologizing, they were the one's doing wrong, they can't just keep me from going out. In the end I decided to just give in, ignoring my inner frustration, I wasn't courages enough to talk back to them, at least for the moment.

"Don't worry about those clothes, I'll take care of them. I also got your stuff yesterday, your bag is in the living room." Jungkook assured me, a sweet bunny smile was plastered in his face. "Thank you... But I want to take care of those things by myself and as I already told you, I want to apologize.", I tried to explain my thoughts on why they should let me take care of it by myself. 

"One fact about me, Jimin. I hate to repeat myself. And I already told you twice that you won't go back there, once today and once yesterday in the car. So don't you dare to ask on more time for it." Yoongi groaned frustrated, I wanted to reply to him but he sounded already pretty annoyed and I didn't dare to say anything else, so I only nodded my head obediently.

"You can be happy, you're this cute. Everyone else who made Yoongi repeat himself, would be dead by now!", Hoseok laughed.

'Did he meant it literally?'

'I can never understand, if they are for real or only joking...'
