Layla || P.JM ✔

16. A. LYONS

"I've heard that you and Jimin performed at school," Hoseok says to Layla as they walk through the mall.

"Hyung, you were there," Jimin mutters.

"Wait, were you?" asked Layla, not recalling seeing him.

"Yes, most of us were there," Hoseok answers. "And Yoongi was enjoying his beauty sleep. Seriously, when he came with us, all he did was eat and sleep."

"I didn't come. Not willingly, at least.  You guys forced me," Yoongi said, definitely not enjoying the fact that he was forced to do something he didn't want to do.

"If we didn't, you wouldn't have enjoyed the buffet," Seokjin commented. "So you owe us a thank you."

"WAIT! I want to go in here," Jinny says and drags Layla with her into a shop.

Jinny pulled a white and black striped shirt and a red skirt and went into the dressing room. When she finished, she asked, "Do I look French?"

"No, but still idiotic," Tae scoffs.

"Wow, look who's talking?"

She returned to the dressing room while Layla looked through the dresses. They were all short - definitely not her type.

"I think this will look nice in you."

Layla jumped in surprise; she hasn't realized how close Jimin was to her. He was holding a black jumpsuit in his hand. "Try it."

She hesitated, then took it from him and went to the second dressing room. She didn't like to try on something she didn't buy yet, but she decided to make an exception. She looked at herself in the mirror. It wasn't bad.

"How do I look?" Layla asked when she tried to show her friends.

"Wow," Jinny said while Jimin's jaw dropped. He didn't know that he was staring until Layla waved her hand in front of his eyes.

"Are you staring at me?"

"Me...Staring at...at you. No- no. Why would you think that?" His cheeks turned red as he stammered. He HAD been staring.

Layla's cheeks turned as red as his. "I dunno."

She went to change then bought the jumpsuit. They all went to walk still around the mall.

"Are we just going to walk?" Jungkook asked.

"What do you want us to do?" Tae muttered.

Jungkook shrugged.

"Is it just me or is some wierd dude following us?" Jinny asked, pointing behind her.

"Why would someone follow us?" Layla frowned.

"My exact thoughts."

Layla paused to look at some bookstore while the others continued walking.

"Layla?"

"Coming," she answered Jimin's voice.

Layla felt something on her hair as she walked. But she was the last in the group so she must be hallucinating. She felt it again. When she felt it a third time, she turned around.

She saw someone putting a flower crown in her head and saying, "Seriously, girl. Can't you slow down a bit?"

Layla's eyes widened and she immediately hugged him. "ACE!"

"Wow. You actually miss me this much?" Ace teased as he wrapped his arms around her. She let go of him.

Ace still looked the same. His face was fair regardless of his acne. He had jet black hair and ocean blue eyes. His eyes were more tired than what they usually were, but they still held the same mischeivous, rebellious twinkle.

"Layla, who's that?" Layla heard Taehyung ask. She turned around, intending to answer.

"He's my-" She felt a hand over her mouth and heard Ace say, "Boyfriend."

Layla's eyes widened. What is he doing!

Jinny cringed, not buying it. Taehyung looked confused and surprised, like most of the group. What broke Layla was Jimin's expression.

He looked shocked and hurt, like something inside him shattered into a million pieces.

"BROTHER!" Layla shouted after she removed Ace's hand. "He's my brother!" She rounded on Ace. "Heck, Ace, that wasn't funny!"

He grinned. "It kinda is."

"Wow. Layla, you never told me you have such a handsome brother," Jinny commented, which earned her a glare from her brother. "What? HE IS!"

"See, Layla. Even your friends say I'm better-looking," Ace said in Korean, running his hand through his hair teasingly.

"And since when do you speak Korean?" Layla questioned.

"Since a month and a half so I could see your annoying ass. And put this over your head properly. I already bought it, and I don't need it because I'm already good-looking enough." He put the flower crown on her head properly. "By the way, like my jacket?" He motioned to his black jacket which had writings printed on its back.

A. LYONS

'99 liner

Layla didn't know whether to smile or be angry at him so her face ended up grimacing. She took off her own jacket from her waist and wore it like him.

"So will you introduce us or do we have to play Guess?" Ace rubbed his hands together.

"No, I'll introduce you. Guys, this is my older brother Ace. Ace, this is Jin-soen, or Jinny. Her brother Taehyung. Jimin-"

"You're the one my sister sang the duet with?"

"Yes. Wait, you were there?" Layla asked, surprised.

"Duh. Finally, the fact that you're a horrible sister has been proven true. I was in the house this morning, and you haven't realized."

"It was in the morning. I WAS SLEEPY!"

Someone faked a cough, and Layla saw that her friends were watching her, eyebrows raised with amused expressions on their faces.

"Anyways, back to where we were. Jungkook -he's my and Jinny's age. Namjoon, Yoongi, Hoseok, and Seokjin - our oldest."

"No offence," Ace said slowly. "But I will take time to differentiate between the faces and names. I swear I forgot them all."

"Can we just continue walking?!" Layla said, feeling embarrassed by her brother.

"Sure, little sis," Ace smirked, slapping her purposely hard on the back.
