The Last Boy Scout

"She's gone,"

He turns around. The voice sounds familiar.

"Don't look at me; aren't you going to go get her?"

He looks at his reflection in the glass door, trying to ignore the voice behind him.

The other leans against the wall and stuffs his hands in his pockets. "Well...?"

"What do you want from me?" He whips around, pushing the other against the wall.

"Easy, there... what would she want from you?"

He releases his grip from the other's neck.

She would want me to go look for her, he looks up at the man and pats him on he back.

"Sorry about that,"

He walks out of the building.

"He copies me at everything," Jimin's head was rested on Jin Yung's lap. "He is known as the Golden Maknae just because he is so great at everything."

"Jimin..."

"The only reason why he is so buff is because he saw me and Jin hyung working out one day and he decided to join us, and now he mocks me by throwing me over his shoulder and slapping my ass because I'm shorter than him."

Jin Yung began to play with Jimin's hair. She kept silent and waited for him to finish explaining.

"And then he gets all the lines and is always in the front and he can dance, and he can even rap and the only reason we have so many fans is because of him and his dumb lumber boots. He always has the spotlight and no matter what I do I'm always put at the back because of him and I hate it because he's better than me at everything and he copies me and gets all the credit..."

"... Jimin, that's not true, Jungkook doesn't mean to do those things to you on purpose. Maybe he... just doesn't know what he's doing to you,"

"That's the thing! He doesn't know what he's doing to me. Whenever he does something, it's just because I'm doing it or because he wants to be better than me," Jimin covers his face with his arm.

"You don't know how it feels, do you, Yung-ssi? When someone copies you at something just so they can get better at it and use it to get all the glory,"

"Trust me, Jimin, I know how it feels... there was a girl in high school who was like that... to everyone. There are people like that everywhere, Minnie; whether they do it on purpose to bug you or not,"

"Yung-ssi," Jimin looked up at her and cupped her face with his hands. "You look cute upside down,"

"Look who's talking,"

"I'm significantly older than you, Yung-ssi. Talk all you want,"

"Jimin,"

"Hm?" He closes his eyes again.

"Take this," she hands him his phone.
