Brotherly Love (BTS X READER) *Book 1*

New Realizations

     "(Y/N), I have a question."

     Jimin spoke the words softly, almost as if he was scared to hear your response. The dim moonlight illuminated his features enough for you to see him innocently looking out into the sky, like a child waiting to spot a star peaking out through the pollution ridden atmosphere.

     "What is it, Jimin-ssi?" you urged him to continue on, reciprocating his soft tone of voice. The man beside you looked down towards the city below, the fringe of his hair slightly forming a curtain over his eyes. He wasn't sure why he was so nervous to ask you. It was a simple question, was it not? Perhaps it was that he didn't want you to think he was a creep for watching Jungkook leave your room every night. Quite honestly, he didn't know why he did that anyways, or why he cared so much to keep up with it for three weeks. For some reason though, even if he told himself that he wasn't going to, he still found himself lurking in the shadows every night, watching your door. All just so he could confuse himself even further.

     Suddenly, he started to wonder if maybe deciding to ask you was a mistake. Looking back on it, he absolutely seemed like some sort of stalker freak. But then again, why did he care what you thought about him? Generally, the only appearance he cared about was to his fans, the public. As long as they thought well of him, what else mattered? His senses seemed to be coming back to him. Where had his regular attitude gone? Realizing that it wasn't like him to care about how you felt about him, he pushed away his fears and dove headfirst into the subject.

     "I noticed something a while ago, (Y/N). It grabbed my interest, and I've been watching ever since. Could you tell me what's going on?" Jimin finally looked over at you. His expression was blank, but you could see that his eyes held curiousity, and confusion.

     You were sure that it was going to be a question about what you were doing to the members- much like the question you had received from Hoseok by the dumpsters nearly a month prior. Especially since Taehyung and Jungkook were so close with you, you had no doubt that the boys had noticed something changing. You continued looking at Jimin silently as a cue to keep talking, preparing an answer in your mind for the question you predicted you'd hear.

     Jimin inhaled deeply, then let out a sigh as he looked away from you.

     "Why does Jungkook go into your room every night?"

     Your eyes widened, and your mouth fell open a little bit. He had seen Jungkook going into your room? That definitely wasn't the question you had expected, and you had no answer prepared for that.

     "You've... seen?" you questioned quietly, almost in disbelief. He nodded.

     Now you were faced with an internal conflict. Did you tell him the truth, or make something else up? You considered the latter, but what could you possibly make up to explain that? Say that the two of you played a nightly game of checkers? No way. It appeared that all you could do was tell him the truth, but you didn't know how he would feel about it. You were lucky that Jungkook reacted so well to the truth, but you couldn't speak for anyone else, especially someone as mysterious as Jimin. You never really knew how he felt about what was going on, and by what you had seen it appeared that he didn't either sometimes, which definitely didn't help you figure anything out.

     However, being honest with him could bring you closer. It seemed that he already had an odd and confusing sort of connection with you, so perhaps something good could come of it. Since you didn't have another option, you decided to just go for it, and tell Jimin the truth.

     "Well, I suppose it's a lot to explain," you started. "So, I guess I'll start from the top."

     You took a deep breath, and Jimin waited in anticipation of your words. "Bang PDnim told you guys that I'm here to help you gain responsibility or whatever, right? Well, that's not the only reason why. I'm also here to fix a problem among you guys. Bang PDnim told me that Bangtan had simply changed and become reckless off camera, and he wanted me to fix it. But as it turns out, there's more to it than that. So rather than just teaching you responsibility, I'm supposed to make you care for me and then bring your real personalities back. That was why I initially had that bad attitude in the beginning- it was actually Bang PDnim's idea for me to act that way. I realized it wasn't going to work though, which is why I reintroduced myself.
