Growing Secrets | Park Jimin

Chapter 6

It had been a week or so. Tori and Min Jun were still staying at Hoseok's apartment. His apartment was very similar to Jimin's but had a bigger living area.

Tori was at the apartment by herself, doing laundry and what not while Min Jun was with Hoseok at Big Hit. Hoseok had been taking Min Jun to Big Hit a lot; he was probably trying to teach Min Jun some dance moves.

Tori was sitting on the floor in Hoseok's living room, folding laundry, when she heard the door open.

"Back already Hobi? It's barely even 12 o'clock" Tori said before turning to see him... but it wasn't him.

Jimin stood behind one of the couches that was behind Tori. Tori stood up instantly after seeing him.

"What do you want Jimin?" She asked. She hadn't talked to him since the night she left.

"I want you and Min Jun to come back to my apartment" Jimin said softly.

"Why? So we can argue again and I can cry myself to sleep?" Tori asked feeling somewhat upset seeing him.

"No... so we can be a family" Jimin said looking down. He felt guilty for making Tori feel so upset even though he was also hurt at what she had done.

"A family? But you're still going to believe that I cheated when I didn't" Tori said fidgeting with her fingers, waiting for him to argue against her.

"Then explain it to me if that would make you come back" Jimin said walking around the couch and towards Tori.

"Will you actually listen?" Tori asked quietly, looking down at her hands.

"Of course."

Tori looked up at him. She knew that he would, he was calmer then the night she left. He was ready to listen.

"Okay..." Tori started and walked past him to sit on the couch, Jimin followed. "The guy is a friend, his names Chris. He is 100% only my friend, okay" Tori said looking at Jimin.

He stayed quiet, not wanting to argue.

Tori took a deep breath before continuing.

"We've been friends for a long time and he was the only one there for me in Australia when I left Korea. The first few months were easy because I had him to talk to and you were only a phone call away but when the media caught on to everything that was happening and you were getting busier with BTS, he was the only person I had" Tori explained looking down at her hands.

"At first I thought I could ignore what the media was saying about me and the baby but when they started calling me a slut and saying I didn't know who the father was it really started to get to me.

"Once Min Jun was born the media wouldn't leave me alone. They wanted to question me about the father and get pictures of Min Jun to try and figure it out for themselves. I was scared that they would figure it out quickly because Min Jun does look like you, so I tried my best to hide him from them" Tori said taking a quick glance at Jimin, the next part she knew would hurt him the most out of the whole story.

"That's when Chris came up with the idea to make it seem like me and him were more than friends in the public eye, and since he was around a lot when I got back to Australia, that it would look like he was the father.

"At first it was a good idea but then you drifted away. I never understood why until the other night, I thought you would've understood what I was doing but clearly you believed the media" Tori finished and looked back up at Jimin, expecting him to lash out and possible yell.

But he seemed to sit thinking about everything she just told him for a minute; trying to decide if he should be angry... or sorry.

"I know making it look your child's is someone else's would hurt but I couldn't risk the media finding out and it ruin BTS" Tori said watching Jimin's face.

"I'm sorry" Jimin said quietly, feeling bad now for how he treated her. She had gone through so much, always trying to protect his image, and all he did was ignore her.

Tori smiled slightly, "Thanks for listening" she said and stood up.

Jimin grabbed her arm once he stood up and pulled her into a hug. Tori's arms automatically wrapped around his waist while his were over her shoulders; the safety she once felt was still there.

"So now what happens?" Jimin asked, Tori still in his arms.

Tori broke the hug to look at his face and shrugged. She honestly didn't know what was going to happen now.

"Well will you and Min Jun please come back to my apartment?" Jimin questioned.

Tori thought for a moment. Jimin seemed to understand everything now and she believe he shouldn't have anything else to be annoyed or mad at her over.

"Okay..." Tori said watching a smile form on Jimin's face, "But"

Jimin's smile dropped slightly, "But what?"

"But we're just friends, okay" Tori stated. She didn't know if she wanted to be romantic with Jimin again, her feelings for him were all over the place.

"Just friends?" Jimin questioned. For him, even though he spent the last 3 years mad at her, he still did love her and he was hoping that maybe they could be together again.

Tori nodded and looked away from him. It was like they were breaking up and she was awkwardly saying they'd still be friends even though everyone knows you can't be friends with your ex.

"At least for a while..." Tori said quietly, more to herself but Jimin still heard it.

He smiled at that, seeing that there was still a chance for them to be together and possibly be a real family.

"Well let's pack your things and move them back home" Jimin said happily.

Tori looked up at him, surprised he called his apartment home. 'Well it is home for him but is he saying its home for me too?' Tori thought for a second before a small smile formed on her face seeing the happy Jimin she missed so much.

'Maybe we'll be okay' she thought to herself.
