My Instant Groom | KookJin ✔️

Ch. 10 - Babbles

Jimin arrived at Jungkook's home with take-out foods. He was sure that Jungkook did not leave food for Jin as he knows that his best friend didn't know how to cook.

After placing the food on the kitchen counter, he went straight upstairs to look for Jin. Since Jungkook's house was huge, Jimin needed to check five rooms to know where Jin was sleeping.

After knocking on the door, he pushed it open, checking the first room nearest the stairs, when he confirmed that Jin wasn't there, he then transferred to the next, to the third one, the fourth, skipping the master's bedroom and lastly, the fifth vacant room.

Jimin stood in the middle of the living area, walking back and forth as he dials Jungkook's number who, as always, answered him arrogantly.

"Where is Jin?!" Jimin screamed on the phone. "I checked all the rooms and he's not there. And if you will ask me if I checked the garden, no, he's not picking up flowers! Don't tell me your securities allowed him to go?"

Jimin heard Jungkook breathe out from the other line. "Can you please calm down? Stop screeching on the phone. He's sleeping in the storage room."

Jimin turned his head to the direction of the room with mouth hanged open. "The fuck! Why on earth did you make him sleep in the storage room you mother fucker! You're so heartless!"

Jimin cut the line and rushed to the storage room only to find out that Jin wasn't there anymore. The blanket was neatly folded and placed above the pillow.

Jimin put his hands on his hips, trying to figure out what was happening. If Jin did escape, the securities already informed him unless the securities did not notice.

He went out again and walked around the house. He checked on the garden again, on the lanai at the side of the house, and lastly, he remembered the pool at the backyard.

And he was right, he heard one of the securities yelling at and asking Jin not to dive in the pool. "Sir, please no! Mr. Jeon will fire me. No one is allowed to use the pool without his permission."

But Jin just stuck his tongue out to the security and dove into the water.

Jimin can feel the worry laced on the security's voice so he interfered and tapped the shoulder of the man. "It's okay. Just get a towel and I will handle him."

Jimin waited until Jin swam to the surface of the water, smiling at Jimin. "Hello! Good morning!"

Jimin gave Jin a warm smile, trying to find the right words to convince Jin to move out of the pool. "I brought a lot of foods! Let's go and eat. You haven't taken your breakfast yet, right?"

Jin smiled and nodded. He propelled to the side and get off the pool. "I'm hungry."

"I know you are." Jimin put the towel around Jin's shoulder as he guides him to the pool's shower room. He quickly picked up some clothes in one of the guest rooms and had Jin wore those.

"From now on, you need to wear sun protection lotion before going out. The sun can harm your skin." Jimin said while checking on Jin's sunburnt skin.

"Boss Kookoo let me use the lotion last night. It smelled good." Jin tried to smell his arm to know if the smell still stuck on his skin.

"You cannot smell it now because you already showered. Don't worry, we will buy what you need this weekend. I guess you need to rest for a while."

Jimin cannot help but stare at Jin. Jin indeed is a beauty. And he cannot accept the fact that Jin was kept hidden on an island that long.

He just watched Jin as he eats the food he brought. Jin looked hungry, as always. "Jin, how old are you?"

"21," Jin answered as he chews the food.

Jimin nodded his head. "You finished grade school, right?"

Jin nodded, lips pouted as he eats.

"Did the people around you, I mean your friends, who took care of you treated you as a kid?"

Jin put the utensils on the plate and wiped his mouth with the back of his hand. "Namjoon and Hoseok always call me baby. I know I'm grown up but they said they don't want my mind to get tainted. Is that wrong?"

Jimin shook his head and gave Jin a small smile, and pinched Jin's chin. "I cannot say that it's wrong because honestly, I don't know anything about your life there on the island. But I will be honest with you, you cannot stay like that here in the city."

Jin looked a bit confused. He thought that life on the island was no different.

"Jin, listen to me, you're too pure and innocent for this city. If you'll stay like that, people will fool you or take advantage of you." Jimin bit the inside of his lips knowing that he will soon be that person he's talking about.

"Does it mean I don't belong here in Seoul? But I want to stay here. I want to work here, I want to go to the mall and drink coffee at Starbucks and study in the future. Namjoon said he will meet me here soon." Jin's face turned glum. He did not risk everything just to end up with nothing. "And I have nothing to go back to. Boss is a bad guy. He won't like me back."

Jimin held Jin's hand and rubbed it. Jin's voice can be a bit  "Don't worry, I will make sure that you will not feel like you don't belong here. Do you want to go to the mall and grab some Starbucks?"

Jin's eyes lighted up. His glum face now turned delighted. "Yes, I want it! But, I don't have money."

Jimin chuckled, he was amused by how gullible Jin can be. "Don't worry about money. This weekend, we will go shopping, we will go to the dentist and dermatologist. Then after that, we will eat and drink coffee at Starbucks. How does it sound?"

"You're rich like boss Kookoo?"

Jimin laughed. "I really like you, Jin! Anyway, your boss Kookoo is richer than me. But we are best friends just like you and Hoseok. And he will be the one to pay for our bills on the weekend."

"Wow! Boss Kookoo isn't that bad."

"Well, I'll say that he is always moody and can be a pain in the ass but he can be nice if he wants to be. Do you find Kookoo handsome?"

Jimin smiled when Jin blushed. But Jin, being naive as he was, looked Jimin in the eye. "He is handsome. But he is arrogant. But I think he's nice because he came back for me last night."

"True!" Jimin raised his index finger in agreement. "Well, I am certain that he worried about you last night that's why he went back for you. And yes, he is always arrogant. Don't worry, I'll make sure that he will treat you well once our plans progress."

Jin's eyebrows knitted as he looks at Jimin. He did not know anything about the plans. "What plans?"

Jimin covered his mouth. Sometimes, he cannot stop babbling and he always ended up in trouble. "We will talk about it once handsome Kookoo arrives. Okay? So for now, eat your meal and I will bring you to the salon and spa right after."
