Caught in a Lie

Three

By time yesterday's work day was over I had met and talked with all of the boys.. except Jimin.
They were all funny and cute in their own ways.  But something about Jimin really drew me in. Why was he sad, and why don't the other guys try to cheer him up?"

Today, I was going to get some answers.
I flashed my new ID at the desk lady as I determinedly walked into the building. She huffed to herself as I walked past.

"Yeah! And we could add this part here!" Hoseok said cheerfully. I just got here, but it seems they've been busy working for a while already.

I stand, scanning the room for the silver hair boy.
"Hey!" Tae said brightly, walking away from the group that sat around a table.
"Hey! How's it going here? Busy already I see!"
"Yes, Hera. Why don't you offer refreshments to these boys." My father said with a stiff laugh.

"Ah yeah.." I put my things by my dads desk and get a pitcher of water and glasses.
After serving it to the boys around the table, my eyes fall to Jimin. He is sitting alone on the couch again on the other side of the room.
I set the pitcher of water down and decide to make my move.
He was slumped over with his face in his hands. He was wearing a black sweater with the hood up.
I take a seat and he notices the weight next to him.
"Kookie, I don't want to talk about her anymore, it's not going to help.." he mumbled.
Kookie?
"So its a girl problem?" I ask. Causing him to jump.
"Oh god. I thought you were Jungkook." He said with a startled look on his face.
"Who is she?" I pointed at the lock screen on his phone in his hand.
He quickly shoved it in his pocket.
"It's no one.. who are you anyway?" He groaned and slid down in his seat.
"Where have you been?.. I'm Hera."
No response...
"I'm the one who you're suppose to tell what your heart desires and I'm suppose to grant it." I joke about my made up 'assistant' position.
"Get my girlfriend back." He said harshly without even opening his eyes.
"Oh..Kay....." I notice he's not having it.

"Jimin. Be nice." Namjoon hisses as he walked by. I come to my feet.
"It's okay, I shouldn't be bothering him." I go to step away when I feel a hand grab my wrist.
"Hera.." Jimin says quietly.
I sit back down. "Yeah?"
"You said you're suppose to do what we say yeah?"
I nod.
"Will you walk with me to get coffee?"

——
After confirming with the other boys and my dad that Jimin wasn't needed at the moment, we walked to the coffee shop at the corner of the street.

"You okay?" I ask as I take a sip of my coffee.
We sat outside, so there was a nice breeze.
He just stared at the cup he held with both hands.
"It's warm." He stated.
I let a smile slide on my face and tuck a piece of hair behind my ear.
"So you want to talk about why you're so gloomy?" I question, trying to catch his eyes with mine with no luck.
"No.. let's talk about you." He says. "I'd like to get my mind off it." He obviously doesn't care about my story, but I entertain him.

"... and that's why I'm stuck working with my dad.. only for a few weeks hopefully." I cross my fingers.

"Wow." He exclaims, somewhere along my story I peaked his interest. He seems to have lightened up a little, but it only lasted a split second.

"Park Jimin?!" A guy shouts. "Park Jimin! Why aren't you with Mina?!"
"Where's Mina!?" Another shouts. And snaps of photos begin going off.
"Aishhh!" We say in unison. He pulls his hood up and covers his face. I grab his arm and pull him along as we ran back to the studio building.
"Whooo!" Once inside the elevator I let out a wheeze while holding my ribs. That's far more running than I'm used to. I let out a little laughter then instantly shut up.
Jimin, with his hood still up, had a single tear run down his face. I felt helpless, I wanted so bad to wipe the tear and hug him. He looked so hurt.
"Jimin.." I began. The doors came open and he walked away. I run after him..
"Jimin!" I call. It's no use. He's bottled back up.
I sigh.
Well, great.
