Chapter 14

Taking in the heat of the hot coffee mug in her hands, Lorraine inhaled the scent of the freshly cut green grass. She was sitting in her front yard on the plush sofa placed there, her legs were intertwined with Jimin's as he was spooning her from behind, lying horizontally.

He was checking in his phone for updates, his empty coffee cup kept on the table, still in his sweats. His free hand was mindlessly tracing patterns on Lorraine's exposed shoulder.

She smiled secretly, feeling the warmth of his body melt on her back. She'd admit it, she didn't know what they were doing. Truth be told, she didn't want to. She didn't want to put a stupid name on it. She didn't want to know Jimin's feelings in specific words nor did she want to define he own feelings.

She just wanted it to last as long as it was fun.

Realising Jimin had been a little too long over the phone, she turned her head 180° to check on him.

"Is everything alright?" She asked, referring to what he told her last night.

Jimin looked up from the phone hearing her voice, looking down at his phone once again and realising Lorraine was talking about that.

"Oh, yeah...yeah. Everything's fine."

She narrowed her eyes sceptically.

"Are you sure...?"

"Yeah, I'm sure." He smiled reassuringly, keeping his phone down.

He sounded genuine this time so Lorraine dropped it, facing her front again.

"Lorraine," he called after a while, voice cautious. She hummed in response. "What happened that night? At the club?"

Her entire body paused involuntarily, heartbeat shooting up in an instant. Jimin just dropped a bomb out of the blue, and honestly, she had never had an answer to this question.

"It..." She started, not being able to find words that would describe what happened within her. "I-It happens, don't worry."

"Well, I'll worry if it happens when I'm around, and generally because I care about you."

"It's not– ... Just drop it."

"But–"

"Please, Jimin."

He closed his mouth after that, ceding from the argument as a pit rose in his stomach. Maybe Lorraine wasn't telling him because it was his fault. He crossed a line and now she was uncomfortable, there continued the saga of blaming himself once again.

"I have a photoshoot," Lorraine said after a while, feeling how rigid Jimin's body went against her. "Do you wanna come?"

"I thought you were on a break."

"I'm on a break from my movie, not work."

"Is this a good idea? Accompanying you on a photoshoot."

She shrugged. "I mean...no public will be there, so... You can."

"What about the rest of the people?"

"They're professionals."

That's how Jimin ended up accompanying Lorraine to a photoshoot. It was a good pass time, his mood raised once again by seeing how Lorraine laughed and talked to the crew. He had to say she looked the brightest in front of a camera as if it cheered her up like no one ever could.

A few people talked about him, asked him if he was one of the BTS members and all. He nodded slightly, making a few conversations here and there. They hesitantly asked what was he doing here so he explained he was Lorraine's friend and had come to visit her from Korea so she took him here with him.
