❝ jimin? ❞

everyone else turn their heads to jungkook when he says the name, wondering how he knew of it. jimin, on the other hand, stares at jungkook with an expression the younger cannot decipher. was it fear or was it pride? does jimin have no idea what he's getting himself into or does he feel happy surprising jungkook like this?

though jungkook has a million questions running on his mind, he was more focused on the fact that fuck, jimin looks more beautiful in person. shit, i wanna kiss him right here, right now in front of everyone else. jesus, i can't because he's not mine.

yoongi, on the other hand, looks dumbfounded at first, but that immediately turns into amusement when he sees the utter pain in jungkook's eyes. oh, he knows him all too well. and he knows what's going to break him. so he did what min yoongi would do. nothing more, nothing less.

he walks towards jimin ᅳ deliberately bumping onto jungkook's left shoulder with his right ᅳ and pulls jimin into a tight embrace. jimin, being younger than yoongi and considering the latter's his boss, returns the hug. jimin forces a smile as he awkwardly taps yoongi's back. jimin has never been more confused than this. min yoongi ᅳ the petty bitch but talented artist who usually fires his assitants before they could even utter a word to him ᅳ is now embracing him in front of the whole team.

❝ thank god, you're finally here! ❞

exclaims yoongi as soon as he pulls away from the hug, trying to keep a smile on his face for the sake of making jungkook even more miserable.

jimin, however, is stupefied. it's the first time he's seeing yoongi and yet the latter's already acting like they've known each other for years. not to mention the fact that it's also jimin's first time to see jeon jungkook in real life. the boy who saved his life through music is merely a few steps away from him, breathing the same air as him.

but as much as he wants to run to jungkook and hug him, he knows it can't happen. jungkook hates him after all.

❝ but you're atheist, yoongi. ❞

hoseok says, earning a glare from yoongi as if to say "shut the fuck up."

❝ how was it travelling all the way here? oh dear, i hope you're not too jetlagged. ❞

yoongi asks, pretending he actually cares.

❝ uhm, it wa ᅳ ❞

❝ great! great! good to hear! now if you would just sit over here and wait for hoseok to bring you some snacks and a bottle of whatever you'd like to drink. ❞

yoongi sits jimin down on a chair next to his own.

❝ uh, i don't really ᅳ ❞

jimin keeps getting interrupted by yoongi who couldn't exactly give a fuck what the younger truly wants.

❝ hoseok! ❞

❝ i'm your manager. jimin's your assistant. what kind of sorcery is this? ❞

hoseok responds with a shake of his head.

❝ you'll do as i say if you don't wanna get fired. ❞

❝ i've been your manager for years! you can't fire me! ❞

❝ i can do whatever the hell i want! just go and do as i say! ❞

yoongi gestures for hoseok to go away, the latter acceding to his wishes. because though yoongi's a bitch, hoseok's still a loyal friend to him.

jungkook, remains stunned and watches the whole time. it doesn't take long for namjoon to put the pieces together; he knew it as soon as jungkook said jimin's name. so he walks towards jungkook and puts his hand on the younger's shoulder. he succeeds in capturing jungkook's attention.

❝ yes? ❞

the younger asks and gulps.

❝ remember what i told you yesterday? ❞

jungkook nods and hums in agreement. he then whispers in response.

❝ it would be cowardly for me to leave now. i'll get through this. ❞

and to yoongi, he says,

❝ are we doing this or not? ❞

yoongi finally looks back at him, with a stank look on his face but that soon turns into one that's challenging.

❝ yeah, let's get started, shall we? ❞
