"So you're telling me that you've been in Austria?? In Vienna?" Jimin's eyes beamed like a thousand stars resided in it. His hands were closed into tiny fists, a show of his excitement towards being next to Crimson.




Never once did she regret being nice to him except that day. Jimin was acting all nervous and shy around her earlier so Crimson decided to lighten his mood by talking to him every now and then during the car ride. She was sandwiched between him and Jungkook, who has thankfully fallen asleep on her shoulder because God knows how much her patience would be tested if there were too bumbling bees right next to her.




Right now, Jimin was the complete opposite of what he was before, spouting question after the other no matter how irrelevant some of them are, "And you said you moved a lot. Did you have to buy new toothbrushes in every country you move to or do you keep the same one?"




Crimson pulled a slight disgusted face at that, she could only imagine the expressions and thoughts of the other ones inside the van too. She was about to answer him, her mouth already open until Seokjin who sat behind them cut her off, "Jimin. Let's stop asking questions for now, yeah? Crimson needs to rest and so should we. We can ask her a lot of things later on," with soft pat on Jimin's shoulder, Seokjin leaned back with a sweet smile.




She could not help but feel her heart swell, in a good way, at the sight of Seokjin acting like an older brother to the now sulking Jimin who had a pout on his plump lips. Crimson dearly appreciated how much the elder cared for the cafe owner like his own family, something that she wished she could've done if not for the fact that she's being hunted by Seong-jun. But all of those thoughts flew out the window when she thought about Seokjin's words.




We can ask her a lot of things later on...'We'.




Something about the word caused a lump to form in her throat. 'We', meant that it's not just Jimin who had several strings of questions running through his mind and considering that the man did not even regain his memories fully yet made her wonder how much more the others have. She looked at poor Jimin, wondering if the others bombarded him with several questions too but considering how comfortable and easy-going he looked, she figured out that Seokjin must have reminded them of his situation and the others decided to give the man some breathing space.
