THE HAIRDRESSER (BTS Jimin FF) [COMPLETE]

11. The Confession

Kara's POV

Amy hasn't been back still. Her eomma has been diagnosed with hyperglycemia. She was discharged within 3 days but she's still weak. Amy has been taking care of her since.

I missed her. Coming back home after working hard to an empty house is the worst feeling ever.

Jimin texted me continuously for 4 days since I met him. Not replying him was the hardest thing for me to do.

But I was letting my mind take control over my emotions.

Heart is weak and vulnerable. It wants elusive things and makes you look stupid. It makes you do things you haven't imagined. It embarrasses you.

My heart wanted me to text him back, to tell him that I love him, to tell him how I feel. But my mind knew how it was going to end.

I won't let my heart control my emotions anymore. This was the promise I made to myself.

It was 7pm I was done with all the appointments that were assigned to me. I was packing up my things and preparing to leave, at once "Kara!" Mr Lee called.

I rushed towards him "Yes Mr Lee."

"There's another appointment for you. It won't take more than an hour or two."

My face sagged. I was supposed to leave. "Yes Mr Lee." I said in a faint voice.

"I'm off to see my daughter. Her flight must have landed." He smiled.

Mr Lee rarely smiles. But it was good to see his other side.

"Close the saloon after your done with the appointment." He said as he walked out of the saloon.

So it was me and few other staff members.
"Stella, the appointment is under what name?" I asked the receptionist.

"It's under Mr Jack Dawson." she replied.

"Mr Jack Dawson? Are we shooting Titanic here?" I laughed.

"It must be some celebrity! Famous people book under fake names."

Jimin's POV

"JACK DAWSON? Are you kidding me Taehyung?" I yelled. "All you had to do was to book an appointment for me. Couldn't you've thought of something more real?

"Yaah! It's a great name. Remember when Rose says 'Jack come back!' " Taehyung started enacting the scene.

"Bye Tae", I stormed out of the dorm.

I had no idea what i was going to say or do. There was only one think I knew no inhibition what so ever.

Kara's POV

It's 7:30 and Mr Dawson or whoever didn't reach yet.

"Stella can you call and reconfirm if Mr Dawson is coming or not?" I pleaded.

"I already called. He said he's on his way." as she finished speaking the door opened.

I turned around to look who it was...

"JIMIN...............ssi"

I froze. That night just flashed back right in front of my eyes. My mind tried controlling my emotions but my heart was overpowering it all.

All these days I have been strong. He's in front of me right now why am I feeling so weak and vulnerable again?

"Annyaseyo" he uttered as he gazed at me with those innocent eyes.

"Annyaseyo Mr Park. We're glad to have you back." I put on a poker face "This way."

My heart beat faster with every step i took.

Why is he here? What am I going to say when he asks about those texts I ignored? Let's just be professional here Kara. Don't let your heart win.

As we entered the VIP section he closed the door.

"Wha...what is happening? Is their a problem sir?" I stammered.

"Kara!" there was restlessness in his voice. "What happened? Why did you leave? Did I hurt you in some way?"

I looked down, those words brought lump to my throat. I tried speaking.

"Let's not discuss it here." My voice cracked.

My heart overpowered my mind. I couldn't take it anymore. All these days I thought I was stronger but I wasn't. I was pretending to be strong, pretending that i wasn't getting hurt by all of this, pretending that I could make it through the sadness.

"Kara! I'm sorry. Please don't cry! I didn't come here to make you cry." Jimin placed his hands on my shoulders.

I took a deep breathe and brushed his hands off my shoulders.
"Why are you here? You shouldn't be here! I'm a hairdresser. A mere hairdresser. And you are Park Jimin! We can never be friends."

"Kara do you think of me as a cheap person who will make friends according to their statuses? The day we first met i told you about my days in Busan. Did it sound like a rich kid's story? I am just like any other guy in Korea. The only think that differentiates me from them is BTS. But does that mean I can't have normal friends like you?"

He held my hand and gently lifted up my chin. I didn't look at him. I knew i would break down if I did.

"Is this the reason why you left?"

I stayed mum, trying to control my emotions, staring at the floor.

"Say something, Kara. Please." Jimin pleaded.

"I'm sorry but I've to go." I released my hands from his and rushed towards the door.

If I stay any longer, I'll break down and cry.

I reached for the door knob but he grabbed my hand. He turned and gently pushed me against the door.

He placed his hands on the door and I was stuck in the middle. He looked at me and I looked at him. There was complete silence. I could hear him breathing heavily. And i'm sure he could hear me too.

"Kara, i don't know what's happening to me. I've never felt this way before. Not seeing you makes me restless, not talking to you makes me anxious. I...I think I like you." Jimin confessed as he bit his plump lips.

My eyes widened. I couldn't believe what I just heard. A tear trickled down my cheek.

He wiped it off with his thumb and placed his hand on my cheek.

He leaned towards me. I wasn't ready for this but before I could think his lips were on me.

His kissed me gently as he pulled me closer. I kissed him back. His lips were soft and delicate.

My heart calmed down a bit. I had no thoughts. I was there in that moment cherishing it.

It was a long kiss but not long enough.

We pulled back, he glanced at me and smiled as his fingers touched my lips to fix my lipstick.

"I'm sorry that I ignored your texts." I couldn't hold it in and burst into tears.

He hugged me tightly. "Don't cry, Kara."

Being in his arms felt so warm and safe. I felt complete.

I was wrong all this time. Only if I listened to my heart i wouldn't have been vulnerable all week.
