Living with BTS

Chapter 5

"That was fun." I said, finally sitting down after 3 hours. "I agree." Jimin said, patting his face with a napkin. "I'll be right back. What do y'all want to snack on?" Loretta asked, standing up. "I want the large cheese sticks." I said. "Ooh! Make that two." Jimin said, smiling at me afterwards. Loretta left to place our orders, and then sat at a waiting table in the front of the snack bar. "So.. what do you like to do for fun?" Jimin asked, turning his body towards me. Come to think of it, I really haven't been out in a long time. "Uh... I like to dance." I said, looking down at my hands. "Really? Show me what you got." He said, followed by a playful wink. "See, I would but my legs are tired from walking, and I'm afraid if I try to walk or do anything I might faint." I explained. He started laughing, and shaking his head. "You're the worst liar, ever. I thought V was a bad liar, but nope, you just made top of the list." He said, laughing. I didn't notice before, but he has pretty teeth. Also a really cute laugh. "You don't have to dance now, but you're gonna have to sooner or later. I'll make sure of that." He stated, and I paused. "You'll make sure of that? What does that mean?" I asked, looking at him. "That's for me to know, and you to find out." He said, smiling widely. After that we talked about several topics. "Jimin? Is that you? Hey bro! How you been?" A guy asked, walking towards us. "Rocky! What's up man? It's been awhile." I sat there stupidly while the two 'bros' caught up on life. "Who's this? Is she your girlfriend?" Rocky asked, looking towards me. He was hella fine. Tall, pretty smile, he also smelt amazing. "No." I said, before Jimin could answer. "Oh, then who are you? I mean- sorry, that came out rudely." He said, looking down, rubbing the back of his neck. "It's fine, and let's just say I'm a friend." I said, feeling stupid after. I'm not a friend. I can't even remember their names! "Oh, okay, cool." Rocky said questionably. "Anyway, Moonbin's throwing a party this weekend. Y'all wanna come? You can invite as many people as you want." Rocky suggested. I've never been invited to a party before. What if it's like those movies where they drink, and smoke, and break windows, and all the bedrooms are filled with teenagers trying to 'get some'? "I'll ask the guys, you still have the same number?" Jimin asked, pulling out his phone. "Yeah. One more thing." Rocky said, standing up. "What's up?" Jimin asked, looking up at him. "Make sure you bring her." Rocky stated, smiling at me, then walking away. Jimin looked at me, then back at Rocky, then back to me again. "Okay kidos, dig in." Loretta said, placing the tray on our table. Jimin and I thanked her, both reaching for a cheese stick. Coincidentally we reached for the same cheese stick, which caused us to touch hands. Cheesy, huh? (Sorry, I had to😂) "H-Here." Jimin said, placing the cheese stick on my plate. I looked up at him, then looked at Loretta, who was looking back at me with a smirk. "Thank you." I said, slightly looking at him. Believe me when I tell you it was awkward after that.

Back at the house.

"How was it?" My uncle asked, looking up from his paperwork. "Great! There are so many stores, and restaurants. I even saw 5 different movie theatres." I said, putting my hair up. "Jimin? You went with them? The boys were looking for you earlier." My uncle said, standing up. "Yeah, just kinda felt suffocated in the room." Jimin explained, looking down. My uncle nodded his head in understanding. We all parted our ways, Jimin going to the boys lounge room, Loretta going to her guest house, and me going to my room. I really don't know what to do around here, a big house, with 9 people, yet it feels so empty, and dull. Once I entered my room, I walked over to my bed. "Now what?" I asked myself. As on cue, my mind trailed back to the food court. I was focused on that guy Rocky. "Make sure you bring her." He said, before walking away. I replayed the scene one too many times. When did he say the party was? This weekend? Yeah, it's this weekend. I pulled my out, looking at the calendar. "Friday." I read aloud. Okay he said this weekend, but he didn't exactly say what day. I sat in thought until I heard a knock at my door. "Coming." I answered back. I opened it to reveal 7 boys behind it. "May I help you?" I asked, looking at their concerned faces. "We need to talk about Rocky." Jin said, walking past me. At first I was confused. Why would they need to talk to me? "Sit." Jin said, pointing to the desk chair. I gave him a questionably look, soon following his order. My heard turned towards my bed room door when I saw the other 6 boys coming towards Jin and I. "So.. We are aware that Rocky invited us to a party. We are also aware that he wants you to come. So, here's a few tips." Jin said, folding his arms. "Tips? What is this? I don't even know the guy." I said, growing out of patience. "He's the type to... what's the word? Play with a girls heart." Jin said, rubbing the back of his neck. "He's a good guy, but he gets bored easily. He's been like that since we went to school together. Then he joined a boy band, and then so did I, and we just went our separate ways. After a few months as a trainee, we met again. Our group, and his group got along very well. I just don't know if he's changed." Jin explained. I wasn't sure what to think. "Oh." I mumbled. "That's it?" Jin asked, folding his arms against his chest. "What am I supposed to say? I mean, thanks for the info, but I still don't know him. This is new to me." I said, looking at Jin. "I just wanted to let you know what you're getting yourself into." Jin exclaimed, looking down. "O-okay, th- thanks." Why am I stuttering? Am I nervous? They all started to walk out, except Jimin. "Alex, I know we don't know each other, and the members also don't know you, but we felt the need to tell you because we know how he is. We've seen how he gets with girls. It's not a pretty sight." Jimin explained, looking at me. "Thank you." I finally said, looking up at him. He smiled, and walked to the door. After he left, I decided I'd take a shower.

Jimins point of view.
Why do I care if something happens to her? I mean.. Do I care if something happens to her? When she's around, I get jumpy. No, jumpy doesn't describe it well. I get, anxious. Earlier at the food court, I couldn't help but smile at the fact that we could keep a conversation going. Most girls just get shy, and then things get awkward, but with Alex, it's like she's one of the guys. We have so many things in common. When Rocky came to our table, don't get me wrong, I was excited. It's just when he looked at Alex, a little part of me got jealous. Then when he demanded me to bring her, I got even more jealous. I looked at Alex's shocked face, and I knew we had to do something. So maybe we lied about his past, but Jin actually does know him, and he's actually not good in relationships. They last like 2 weeks, 3 at the most. I don't know... I guess we'll have to see what happens at the party. Wish me luck.
