The Lie You Keep

Lunch break

Lunch break for Jimin is always at two pm.

And it's past two! Yet he's still here agonizing over one client's profile since he didn't put in his contact number. Was this idiot playing hard to get? Well he'll give him something hard to forget once he sees this joker.

A knock sounds on his window and he turns.

"Hyung lunchtime."

"Busy."

"I know you're hungry."

"Not really."

Jungkook leans on the walls with a smirk. "I'm buying."

This was enough to make Jimin have second thoughts. Jeon Jungkook, buying him free food? Well that seemed like an opportunity not to be missed.

But the offer seemed too good to be true, so his eyes narrowed.

"You sure?"

A very gracious nod with a sincere smile. Hmm, this better be worth one hour's paperwork.

Just as he was about to stand and collect his coat, another body came into view. This time, it was Jin.

"Jiminie, someone's looking for you," he said.

"Tell him to screw off it's my lunch break." Jimin said this while standing up and reaching out to grab his coat but Jin snatched it before the younger could reach it. "Hyung what the heck?"

"Listen to this man, he's willing to pay a hundred yen just to see you," Jin said this with a glint in his eyes. The other two froze and stared at him.

But then Jungkook whistles impressively. "Wow, he's that desperate to see Jiminie-hyung. Who is it anyway Jin-hyung?"

At that Jin shrugs. "Didn't catch his name mian. But he did look well-dressed. Had this weird hair color but he's incredibly handsome." A dreamy smile envelops his lips.

Both Busan boys didn't have to guess twice.

"In the meanwhile," Jin cuts as he struts inside the closed box to grab Jungkook's arm. "I'm gonna catch my free lunch courtesy Jungkook. Shall we?" He smiled disarmingly at the boy.

Jimin fumes. "Hyung that's my free food you're sabotaging." He helplessly watched the older drag his neighbor. "Kookie c'mon you're really not letting this pretty boy steal my lunch are you?"

"Hey, if your friend's willing to pay a hundred just for your face I'm sure he won't mind paying your lunch," was the answer. "Maybe next time."

He was still able to call out "Well, if there is a next time you selfish money-grubber!" Then they were gone.

"Jimin c'mon time's a-ticking!" singsongs Jin with a cackle.

A pout makes its way to Jimin's face before he slowly leaves his office.

His manager walks by holding a lot of folders. He backtracks. "Oh Jimin someone is waiting for you by the lobby."

"Thanks manager-nim."

As he brushed back his hair and took off his ID, there was a familiar face waiting for him with a bright smile on his face. Just the sight was enough for Jimin's lips to pull upwards just the slightest.

"Hiya Min!" He steps forward to envelop him in a hug. "What took you so long?"

Jimin rubs his eye as the pair walk out. "Jin-hyung had to convince me that someone was paying to see me." He looks to the other. "Is it true?"

"Heck yeah!" was the enthusiastic reply. "I paid your manager. Min Yoongi, wasn't it?"

"Yea- hey wait." Jimin turns to look carefully at the other, who stared back as well. "I didn't tell you his surname."
