Just Let Me Love You | A Park Jimin Fanfic

Chapter 6 - The Morning After

Jimin woke up to the sounds of laughter wafting from the kitchen. He wanted to stay in bed a little longer, trying to hold on to a dream. 

He was dreaming of Yun Hae, he was sure of it and he wanted to close his eyes, sleep some more, hoping that he would dream of her again.

The sounds emanating from the kitchen told him there was no way in the Bangtan household that he was going back to bed. Rubbing the sleep from his eyes, Jimin got out of bed and braced himself for a morning of boisterous teasing from his members.

"Oyoyoy!!! Jimin!" J-Hope ran over to him as soon as he poked his head into the kitchen. The boys were crowded around Jin. "Boy 'n luv is here, ladies and gentlemen!"

"It's too early, hyung," Jimin protested but he couldn't hide his smile. "Pancakes? Gimme some, hyung!" He said, looking all puppy dog-like at Jin who was flipping pancakes. Min Yoongi fed him a strip of bacon, which he took without hesitation.

Jin's eyes widened, "Woah, Jiminie, you're eating?" Waving the spatula in front of Jimin's face, Jin had the audacity to look hurt, "Aigoo, why am I always the last one to know in this house? You met a girl and you didn't tell me?"

"Nope, I'm always the last one to know," RM butted in. "If I hadn't run into Suga last night –," he shook his head and frowned at Jimin.

Jimin grabbed a paper towel and waived it over his head in mock surrender. "I will answer your questions one by one but first, let me eat breakfast. I'm hungry!" He groaned, rubbing his belly

"WHO IS SHE AND WHAT HAS SHE DONE WITH OUR JIMINIE PABO???" Taehyung grabbed Jimin's shoulders and shook him hard. 

His friend seemed more relaxed today and he had woken up late. The old Jimin would be already practicing way before breakfast but this Jimin in front of him was a Jimin he'd never quite seen before even after seven years of living together.

He liked this Jimin, with his giddy smile and faraway look. Is he in love? Tae asked himself.

"I'm getting curious," RM muttered. "Tell us about her, Jimin-ssi," he prodded. Jimin blushed and grinned widely. "Ani, naneun bukkeuleobda," he licked his lips and swept back his hair.

He honestly didn't know where or how to start. What do I tell them? That it was love at first sight? Jimin didn't even know if he believed in love at first sight. I'm infatuated, that's what I am. I have a silly crush on some girl who couldn't care less about me. I don't even know her!

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" The boys laughed in unison. "I said that out loud, didn't I?" Jimin asked, blushing profusely. They were laughing so hard at Jimin that Jin even burned one of the pancakes.

Jimin stuck his tongue out and left them rolling around in the kitchen. "Eh, Jimin!" Yoongi called out. "Everyone cleans up after eating, except you. Come back here!"

Yun Hae stared at the blank screen in front of her. She has been trying to draft a press release for the last hour or so and all she had typed out was one measly sentence, which she deleted immediately.

"Ugh!" She clenched her fist in frustration. This is not me! 

The truth was she couldn't get Park Jimin out of her mind. He filled her thoughts in the most inopportune moments; during a client call, the board meeting and even on her one-on-one with her boss. His face would pop up all of a sudden and she'd choke. Good god, this man is going to be the death of me.

The concert was in three days and she wasn't one hundred percent sure of her attendance. If any, she needed to return all the make-up he'd bought her. 

Pabo. She thought, he didn't have to do that. Her embarrassment had all but faded and he just had to one up her.

And what is with that note?  Yun Hae blushed. Reading the note again sent shivers to her spine. 

"You're making it hard for me to forget your existence.

Park Jimin"

Is he pulling the moves on me? 

Yun Hae shook her head. She imagined Jimin saying it inches from her face, his lips dangerously close to hers. And then what? We kiss. Woah! Get a hold of yourself, Soo Yun Hae. 

She closed her eyes tightly, trying to remove the image of Jimin lowering his lips to meet hers from her mind.

Impossible. 

No way would Park Jimin find her remotely attractive. She didn't look Korean; she wasn't a cute, nice girl most Korean men go for. Her aegyo sucks and she was a good ten years older than him.
