BTS Caretaker ( BTS x OC)

Chapter 46: Marked II

Tugging clueless Jimin to the corner, Namjoon cleared his throat forcing out the words to come out after his awkward encounter with Seul yesterday. It had been bothering him since then, but he chickened out the last minute when he's about to inquire Jimin about it.

"Are you going to ask me whether Seul is doing fine?" Jimin boldness taken him aback a little. Namjoon nodded his head frantically, chewing his lower lips showing off his nervousness. "Well, she is a little shaken, but she is doing alright. Don't worry. I don't think she will tell anyone about what she heard" he chuckled.

"That was awkward. I was not in the right mind yesterday. I thought Seul was Hyemi nuna. THAT IS SO EMBARASSING CHIMMY!" he facepalmed not liking this thing one bit.

Jimin laughed heartily "I know hyung. Apologize to her when we have the chance to meet her later and talk it out with her" his eyes shrunk into an eye smile.

"Talk it out with who?"

Jimin and Namjoon turned to face the owner of the soft voice, as their head tilted in sync trying to decipher the image in front of them. To their surprise, Seul was standing there awkwardly with a baffled expression across her face.

"I am sorry I didn't know you guys are still around... I mean it is already 10 in the morning?" Seul squeezed her eyes together. 'Does it mean, others are here too. Min Yoongi? Jin?' she mentally cursed.

A soft smile spread across his face "It is just us and Taehyung, others are out for grocery shopping. Did Manager hyung forget to inform ahjumma that we will be staying indoor today" Namjoon watched Seul under his sharp gaze making her a little uncomfortable.

"Ah.. My mom went for her treatment early in the morning, she must be forgotten to inform me" she coughed a little avoiding Namjoon's gaze that apparently undressing her. Screw Kim Namjoon, he doesn't need to be that attractive.

Jimin softened when she mentioned Mrs Hwang, before he could ask her further, Namjoon jumped into the conversation "How's your mother Seul-ssi" he looked at her way timidly.

"She is alright, thanks to the treatment I think she will be able to make it until we find a donor" a sad smile could be seen on Seul's pale face. Mrs Hwang condition made Namjoon sympathize the older woman even more.

"Was it severe? Her kidney?"

Nodding weakly, Seul clutched onto the hem of her shirt surpassing her tears from hitting the ground "Her kidney has stopped functioning, both of it. She is lucky to be able to live this long since her life is depending on the machine. The hospital is trying to find the perfect donor for my mother" Jimin exhaled a soft breath, pressing his lips together in process.

Namjoon sent an empathy look at her direction "How about your kidney? Doesn't it match your mother? I am sorry I don't want to offend anyone, just wondering" Seul chuckled bitterly and it died down as soon as a sigh of regret filled the awkwardness between them.

"My brother and I did not match her, I was frustrated over the fact that we shared the same blood, yet we could not do anything about it" her face revealed all the pain that she could not express in words. Jimin took few steps closer to Seul, embracing the girl briefly "Ahjumma will be alright. Trust me" Namjoon's eyes widended upon witnessing the scene in front of him. Just when was Jimin became super touchy with her? That was odd considering how they barely met each other.

Seul froze in her trance allowing Jimin's warmth sipping through her vein, giving her some sort of assurance and security. Her ran his fingers in her soft lock, pulling away from the hug not long after and continued to stare into her eyes deeply "If you need someone to talk to, I will always be here. Now, talk to Namjoon hyung.. He has been dying to see you since yesterday" Seul was under his spell. His soft voice really mesmerized her, and she could feel her bones melted.
