Falling for You (BTS Jimin Fanfiction)

Part 14

Hyun-Ae's POV:

This time, when I try to walk through the door, the guards don't stop me.

Jungkook smiles, offering to take the bag from my hands. "What are you doing here, noona?" he asks, beginning to walk up the stairs- back to the practice room I assume.

"Well, I was on my way home and realized that the studio was on the way, so I decided to stop by and bring some snacks since I knew you guys would be working hard."

"Jinjja? That's so nice of you, Hyun-Ae-noona, thank you! Actually, we just finished practicing. We're about ready to go back to the dorm, but the hyungs will be thrilled to see that you got snacks."

I smile at him again, a little awkwardly this time, since we're now in the hallway between the different studios and I can hear the boys' voices getting louder. I don't know if I'll be able to face them without making things weird. "Well... I hope you enjoy them!" I chirp. "I'll just get going now..."

As I turn away to head back down the stairs like the coward I am, Jungkook shoots out his free hand to stop me. "Don't be ridiculous, noona. You should come inside. You're the one who brought the snacks, you should enjoy them as well!"

"Jungkook-ah," I start to protest, mind scrambling for an excuse to leave. But his grip on my wrist is surprisingly firm. 

Instead of going to the practice room, like I originally thought, Kookie opens the door to the office. 

"Jungkookie, you're back already? How did you get food so quickly... Hyun-Ae! What are you doing here?" J-Hope exclaims, leaping up from his seat at the desk.

Jungkook explains, "I was on my way to get us all snacks, but then as I was leaving, I saw Hyun-Ae-noona arguing with the security guards in front, and it turns out that she was stopping by to give us all snacks for working hard."

"Aww!" Hoseok suddenly hugs me. 

I flinch slightly, involuntarily, at the unexpected skinship. "Sunbae!" 

He pulls back sheepishly. "Sorry, Hyun-Ae-ah. Kamsahamnida!"

I wave away his thanks and glance around the room, noticing the absence of the rest of the members. "Where are the others?" I ask.

"Gathering their stuff and heading back to the dorm, most likely."

"Most likely?" 

"I don't know what all of them are doing. That's Rap Monnie's job. And Jin-hyung's."

"Of course. So about the snacks..."

I'm slightly relieved and disappointed that I don't get to see the others right now. But to be fair, I did see Jungkook, Taehyung, Jimin, and Suga just this afternoon.

"I can bring them to the other members," Jungkook offers quickly. 

"Wait!" J-Hope stops him before he leaves. "I'll come home in a little bit, I just need to finish this up. So give me my snack now."

Kookie opens the bag to let him pick what he wants. "Wow, Hyun-Ae-ah you got so much!" Hobi gasps. 

"It really isn't a big deal," I murmur sheepishly. Who knew they were so easily excited by food?

"Ya, Hyun-Ae. This is really a lot. You should eat well too."

"No, I'm fine, really. This is for you guys-"

Jungkook and J-Hope pester me enough that I finally succumb and take three small items from the bag. A tiny smoothie bottle, an apple, and a chocolate bar. 

"There. Now the rest is really for you guys, okay? Eat well!"

"Ah Hyun-Ae-ah, we need to pay you back!" Hobi insists. "How about we go to an amusement park tomorrow?" 

"Really?" I haven't been since I was a kid. And this was really way too much for just a couple of snacks."You really don't have to-"

"But we want to, noona! It'll be fun!" Jungkook adds, giving me puppy dog eyes. "At least think about it?"

I cave. "Fine. But I'm working tomorrow morning so we'll have to go in the afternoon."

"Yay!" J-Hope grins and tosses me something. His phone. I catch it, thank goodness. "Enter your number in there so I can contact you."

I toss him my phone as well, and he gives it to Jungkook once he finishes. 

"Great!" I say as I leave. I'm actually genuinely excited right now. I haven't had the time to do anything really fun with friends since... before Kyung-Shin and I started dating? Before that, I spent most of my time with him anyways, since he was my best friend. But since he became my boyfriend, I guess that doesn't count.

I can hear Jungkook's receding footsteps down the hall as he enters other rooms to give Bangtan their food. 

"...Hyun-Ae-ah?" I hear Taehyung gasp. "Wah, that's so cool of her. Too bad Jiminie isn't here right now..." His voice fades due to the other's voices.

I frown. Jimin isn't here? Where is he, then? And why did V bring him up so suddenly? Nevermind. It doesn't matter to me. I clear my throat and continue walking. BigHit's studio is actually a lot bigger on the inside than it looks on the outside. The hallways are quite long, and there are several rooms in each one, most of which are dark, except for one.

The lights are somewhat dim, but I know that someone is still in there. And it's not hard to guess who. The door is slightly ajar and the music is still playing. Before I can really think through my actions, I nudge it open further and quietly slip into the studio to watch Jimin practice. It's mesmerizing to see him so absorbed in the music. His movements are fluid, yet precise and powerful. How hard does this boy practice every day? I don't know how long I stand there in awe before I shake myself out of it. I'm about to slip away, but he notices me. The music stops abruptly. Drat.

"Hyun-Ae?" he asks, shocked.
