Them (BTS au)

Chapter 97

LillyRose's POV

"Ok, Jimin. What's the plan? How am I gonna be here without your mom knowing?"

"You can hide out in here, and sneak around when she's gone." "Sounds like a plan to me." I smile.

"Lilly...thanks for doing this for me. I've been a wreck, as you can see, but you don't have to do this if you don't want to. I know you have...Namjoon...to get back to."

I grasp his head in my hands, looking him deeply in the eyes. "Jimin, I want to do this. I'm here for you, no matter what. Now come on. Let's get you cleaned up."

I go in his dresser and rummage through his drawer. I pick out some clothes for him and hand them to him.

I peep my head out of the door and check if the coast is clear. I take his free hand and lead him to the bathroom. I close the door and sit on the toilet lid.

"Lilly, is it really necessary for you to be in here with me?" "Uh, yes," I say sharply. "I'm going to monitor your every move. I'm gonna make sure you're ok and taking care of yourself the way you need to."

Jimin's POV

It's sweet that she cares that much, that she still cares about me. But I have to know....does she still love me?

LillyRose's POV

"Um, Lilly, can you close your eyes?" "Wait, seriously?" I say with a confused frown, raising a brow.

He adverts his eyes awkwardly. "Uh, yeah..." He says, his hand on the back of his neck.

"It's nothing I haven't seen before. You've seen my body before." He looks at me. "Yeah, but," He looks away from me. "You know...."

I sigh and roll my eyes. "Fine. If it means so much to you, I'll just turn around." "Ok."

I turn around. Soon, the water starts running. I turn back around.

The thought of Jimin naked, though. My mind pictures his solid, bare body....

Snap out of it, Lilly.

Thirty minutes later, the water turns off. "Lilly, could you hand me my towel? I'm sure you don't want to see me."

You sure about that?

I could, but I don't want to.

Lilly, no. What the fuck did I just tell you?

I roll my eyes at myself and sigh. "Which one is it?" "The pink one."

Of course. A small smile plays on my lips. I grab the towel and give it to him through the curtain. "Thank you."

Seconds later, he steps out of the shower, blonde hair wet and body glistening with water.

Oh fuck, oh fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck.

My mouth opens as I stare at him, my eyes big. "Is there a problem, Lilly?"

Just imagine it's Namjoon, just imagine it's Namjoon.

"U-Uh, no. No, no. Not at all. I'll just....turn around now so you can get dressed."

I hurriedly turn around, immediately closing my eyes and scrunching my face with a silent facepalm.

Jimin's POV

Ok. That was weird. What was that about?

LillyRose's POV

Goddammit, Jimin.

And why is he being so reserved all of a sudden?

A few minutes later, he begins to speak. "Ok, Lilly. You can turn around now."

I turn around, admiring his toned arms and abs in a white wife beater and his legs in a pair of black basketball shorts.

Lord, this boy....

"Is something wrong?" EVERYTHING'S wrong! I shake my head. "Nah, nah. Everything's fine."

"Ok. Good." He smally smiles. "Now brush your teeth and wash your face." "Ok, eomma Lilly."

I chuckle. He does as I say. When he's done, my phone starts ringing.

"Hey, Mrs. Park. Sorry. Yes ma'am, I found him. He was in his room. Please don't be too hard on him. He's going through a lot. Byyeee."

We hang up. His eyes get big. "What did she say?" "She asked if I found you and said that she's gonna punish you for missing a week of school, but don't worry, I think I've got you covered. Your mom loves me, so she'll probably go easy on you."

He sighs, his eyes closed and his head down. He runs his small hand through his hair.

"What's wrong, Jimin?" "Everything." "I'm worried about your mental health, Jimin."

"Are we friends?" He randomly huffs out. "I...." I don't know. Are we? "All I know is, I'm worried about you, and I'm still here for you."

"It's so weird. Even though there was obviously an immense amount of tension between us, it dissipated."

"I know. Things are really weird right now. It's so confusing."

He sits down on the seat next to me. He intertwines our fingers. I look into his eyes. He does the same. "Do you wanna be friends?" He questions.

"Yeah, I do...." I rest my head on his shoulder. Moments pass before he blurts something out. "Do you still love me?"

I look up at him. He's looking at me. He's serious. I move my hand away from his. "Let's just...go back to your room."

We do just that, a silence looming over us.

"You need to eat." I say after several moments of silence. He looks over at me. "I'll be back." I say.

I carefully go downstairs and make him a sandwich. I hurry back to the room.

"Here. Eat it." I hold out the sandwich to him. He takes it out of my hand and takes a bite.

.....

"Thanks for taking care of me, Lilly." "No problem. I need to take a shower. Can I borrow a shirt?" "Sure. There's extra towels and rags you can use in the cabinet of the bathroom."

"Thanks."

.....

I throw on Jimin's oversized white T-shirt. I'm not wearing any underwear, but that's ok. Hell, I usually sleep naked.

I scurry back to the room. "Time for us to get some sleep." I say.

We get under the covers, my back facing him, both of us in fetal position. I lowly sigh.

"Thanks again, Lilly, for doing this for me. It means a lot." "I know you'd do the same for me."

His arms wrap around me. I lowly let out a breath, and we fall asleep.
