40 Days || PJM

Confession & Tragedy

A few days had passed and I was 100% better! It was a Monday so I had to get back to work. I felt a bit uneasy as I didn't know how to react to Jimin after his odd display of affection.

In the blink of an eye, I was knocking on Jimin's door.

"Come in!" his deep voice called out. I stepped in and was greeted with the sight of Jimin wearing an adorable pair of glasses while flipping through something.

"Oh, it's you. Are you doing better?" he asked in concern. I nodded. Just then, a female worker came in. Her dress was way too short and her face was cakes with makeup. She puckered her lips as she approached us. Plus, she didn't even knock. Everything about her screamed "horrible".

"Hey, Mr Park," she said huskily. Jimin rolled his eyes as I stood awkwardly.

"What do you want?" Jimin asked impatiently.

"Meet me when your work shift ends," she said before blowing a kiss and leaving. I almost gagged. Her artificial perfume still lingered behind.

"Don't meet her," I said before I could stop myself. Jimin stopped what he was doing and looked at me.

"Why?" he asked curiously. Yeah, Jae Rin. Why?! WHY DID YOU SAY THAT?! Ugh. Just open your mouth and answer him. I stiffened.

"Just don't," I said. Jimin smirked and rested his head on his hands.

"Or else what?" he challenged.

"Or... Or else...." I struggled to answer.

"You don't even have a reason why I shouldn't go. Why should I believe you?" Jimin asked in irritation when I was silent.

"Because I like you!" I suddenly yelped. My eyes widened. That's it Jae Rin. You really screwed up this time. Why did you even say that?! Do you even like him?! Actually... You do kind of like him. How did you not realise?! I blushed.

"What?" Jimin asked in shock.

"Because I like you," I whispered. WHY DID YOU REPEAT THAT?!?! You could have just said "Oh, nothing" BUT YOU REPEATED THAT?! OH. MY. GOSH.

Jimin stared at me in utter shock like me.

That's it Jae Rin. You've thoroughly humiliated yourself in front of your boss. Just get out before you do anything you'll regret!

"I-I have to go..." I stammered as I went out, bumping into Yoongi who was on his way to Jimin. I was flustered and my cheeks were red from embarrassment. Yoongi cocked an eyebrow at me as I hastily left Jimin's room. I heard the door close behind me as Yoongi entered Jimin's office.

"What was that all about?" I heard Yoongi ask.

"I... I really don't know..." I heard Jimin reply.

I was walking home while texting Ji Yeon about today's sudden events.

Me:
Ji Yeon...

Ji Yeon:
WHAT HAPPENED?!

Me:
I'm an idiot.

Ji Yeon:
It's fine. We're both idiots. What happened?

Me:
I told Jimin I liked him.

Ji Yeon:
That's good! Y'all r cute 2gether.
