From Nothing to Something

Chapter 17

jimin had been very suspicious lately, after lunch he would be suddenly gone. and he seemed paler. not to mention the dark circles under his eyes. i don't know how the others did not notice it, except taehyung and namjoon.

they noticed there was something wrong and when they talked to him, jimin would make an excuse and walk away.

''hey jimin, how are you?'' i greeted, pouring water into my mug. ''o...boss, um, i'm just grabbing a can of sprite for hoseok?''

''hoseok?''

''i mean seok jin.''

''come with me.'' i said, whilst walking to my office, jimin looked around before following me. after i closed the door i grabbed a book of printed paper.

''jimin, there are healthy ways to do a diet you know that right?''

''how did you know?'' he asked nervously, fiddling with his fingers. i grabbed his hands and smiled. ''after lunch you always disappear, when i walked passed the men toilet once, i heard puking sounds and you came out of the toilet, besides you're the model so it wouldn't be weird if you wanted to do a diet. but do it in a healthy way. it's important to stay healthy, don't starve yourself.''

i gave him the small book. ''here are ways for a healthy diet, it takes time but at least you won't be exhausted.''

''thank you...''

jimin gave me a smile before turning around. ''jimin wait.''

he turned around. ''yes boss?''

''remember that you're perfect to me, to us.''

''ah you're so cheesy but sweet.'' he ran towards me and hugged me, i patted his back while laughing. ''alright, now go back to work.'' i grabbed my lunch from my bag and gave it to jimin.

''what are you going to eat then?''

''i already ate actually, i always have extra food. so don't worry about me.'' i said, jimin nodded. ''okay, i'll get back to work then.'' he said before walking away.

i heard a knock on the door. ''come in.''

yoongi came inside and put down a cup of coffee. ''with milk and sugar like always.'' he mumbled. ''thanks.''

''hm...oh what were you talking about with jimin? i mean, i saw you with him together. so i was just curious and uh yeah. but it's okay if you don't want to tell me because i respect your privacy, i was just curious. anyway, how are you? have you been eating well? and-''

''is there something you want to tell me, yoongi?'' i asked while laughing. his face turned red. ''no? i just came here to check up on you.''

''okay, well i'm doing good, thanks for the coffee again.''

''i'll get going then-'' he walked away before i could say anything, strange guy. but i had a feeling that yoongi liked me, but i wasn't really sure about it.

-A FEW HOURS LATER-

it was already 9:30 pm. i stretched myself before packing my things, ready to go home. when i walked out of the office i heard two familiar voices. i realised that i'm always overhearing people, oops.

''so you're saying that you like jae? and sooyoung knows about it, she has been giving you tips lately? interesting. but all of us already knew that, yoongi.'' seok jin said.

''wait what?'' yoongi questioned, confused. seok jin sighed and shook his head. ''you're stupid, i think even jae knows that you like her. it's that obvious.''

''oh...''

''but i'm here to help you!''

''how?''

''i'll help you how to ask her out! duh. okay pretend that i'm jae eun.'' seok jin said. yoongi raised an eyebrow before shivering. ''you? ew. and she isn't that tall.''

''do what i tell you to do.''

''okay...'' and suddenly yoongi started to look down, stumbling over his words. ''um, hi...do you, want to like? yeah...''

seok jin let out a sigh. ''be more direct, and quit with the um, eh, uh, yeah.''

''okay.''

''you're bothering me, get out.''

seok jin's eyebrows twitched with that. ''what? yoongi what?''

''you said that i had to be more direct.'' yoongi mumbled, seok jin rolled his eyes before face palming. ''what to do with you...just ask her do you want to go out with me?''

''alright...do you want to go out with me?''

''yes.'' i said. their heads turned towards me in confusion. ''oh, jae. i thought you were home already what are you doing here-'' yoongi stuttered, seok jin hit yoongi on the head. ''yoongi wants to go out with you, and since you said yes. my mission is over.'' seok jin shrugged. ''wait, you knew that jae was here! but you planned it out!'' yoongi yelled.

''pfft no, i planned it along with sooyoung.''

''just get out.'' yoongi exclaimed. ''okay, calm.''

after seok jin left, me and yoongi were alone. ''like i said, i want to go out with you. how about tomorrow at 6 pm? i'll pick you up at your house.'' i suggested.

''...okay.''
