Finally Home (Jimin X Reader)

Chapter 13

The next few days passed by quickly as Y/N and Jimin settled back into their routine. They would eat their meals together then cuddle on the sofa. They hadn't shared any more intimate moments besides a couple of chaste kisses before parting ways at night. Jimin didn't ask Y/N to share his bed again and Y/N didn't offer.

Jimin had tagged along to the publishing office one afternoon. When they arrived, Y/N noticed a new female cat hybrid working in Taehyung's office. She was very petite with long blond hair. Her gray ears and tail looked soft. Her short black skirt and dark grey silk blouse showed off her tiny waist. Y/N felt an immediate stab of jealousy when the female's eyes slid over to Jimin, lighting up in interest.

"Hi!" she said brightly. "I'm Lisa. I'm taking over for Janeul while she is in the hospital." Janeul was Taehyung's receptionist. She was a grandmotherly woman who had fallen and broke her ankle a few days before.

"I'm Y/N and this is Jimin," Y/N said stiffly.

Lisa reached out a hand to both Y/N and Jimin, holding Jimin's a little longer than needed. Y/N's face flushed in anger when she noticed Jimin smiling at the young pretty hybrid.

Taehyung's office door opened and he stepped out. "Oh I see you've met Lisa. Lisa, can you keep Jimin company while I meet with Y/N," he asked.

Lisa smiled, flashing her perfect white teeth. "Sure TaeTae. I would love to, " she exclaimed in a high voice that grated on Y/N's nerves.

Y/N snickered as Tae shut the door behind them. "TaeTae? Wow! You've gotten pretty close to her already," she replied, gesturing towards the little blond.

Taehyung rolled his eyes. "She's harmless. A little airheaded, but harmless," he insisted, shrugging his shoulders.

Y/N shrugged in response. "Let's get started so I can go home," she said. She was in a hurry to get Jimin out of there and away from the female hybrid.

Taehyung tilted his head at her reaction. "Since when are you in a hurry to leave?" he asked, his eyes filled with curiosity.

Y/N shrugged again. "Since now," she said shortly, wanting to get to work.

Taehyung shook his head then reached out for her tablet.

Jimin was sitting in the waiting room, trying not to think of what Y/N was doing in there with Taehyung. Even though he knew Taehyung was just her editor, he couldn't help feeling protective over her. Especially considering all they had shared during his heat cycle.

"So Jimin, is Y/N your girlfriend?" the female hybrid asked.

It took Jimin a moment to remember her name. "No Lisa. She's my owner," he replied. Jimin was confused when her face lit up with happiness.

"Oh okay. I'm new to this area. I would love it if we could get together and you can show me around," Lisa said, putting her hand on his.

Jimin moved his hand to run it through his hair. "I'm not really familiar with the area myself. I've only been here a few weeks," he replied.

Lisa smiled at him in response. "That's okay. We can get lost together," she insisted, not taking the hint that Jimin was not interested.

Jungkook came into the room at her last words. His bunny smile disappeared when he saw Lisa. "Hey Jiminie! Want to go to the vending machine with me?" he asked, ignoring the girl.

Jimin jumped up quickly. "Sure. I could use some caffeine," Jimin said. "It's been a long week."

Lisa reached out and rubbed his shoulder. "Is there anything I can help with?" she asked.

Jimin stepped away from her. "No. It's fine," he replied shortly. Jimin left the waiting room with Jungkook and followed him down a hallway.

"That girl gives me the creeps," Jungkook said, shivering.

Jimin laughed at his friend's response. "She doesn't seem that bad," he replied, a smile on his face at Jungkook's behavior.

Jungkook rolled his eyes. "Oh TaeTae, is there anything I can get you? Oh TaeTae, do you need more coffee? Oh TaeTae, you look so handsome today," he blurted out in a perfect imitation of her high-pitched voice.

Jimin broke out in laughter at his friend. "JK! That's not nice," he declared, but seeing as to how it could get annoying.

Jungkook shrugged his shoulders. "It's true. She's all over him all the time," he said, his voice filled with irritation but then he smiled smugly. "Maybe since you're here now, she'll leave Tae alone and focus on you."

Jimin laughed again but then shook his head. "No thanks," he replied, having zero interest in the blond girl. "I've got my eyes set on one woman and one woman only."

Jimin and Jungkook came back into the waiting room a few minutes before Y/N came out of Taehyung's office.

Lisa was sitting next to Jimin with her hand on his knee. Y/N's eyes flashed in anger before she controlled her emotions.

"Jiminie let me know if you change your mind about being my tour guide," Lisa called out as Y/N and Jimin were getting ready to leave.

Jimin smiled at her in return, but didn't say anything else.

Y/N remained silent on the ride home. Who the hell does that chick think she is calling my kitty Jiminie and touching him? Isn't Tae enough for her? She needs my kitty too? Y/N thought to herself in anger.

Jimin was confused at Y/N's reaction. Normally after her meeting with Taehyung, she would come out all smiles and they would go get lunch out. This time, Y/N went directly to the house. She let them in and went straight to her bedroom.

Jimin stopped in front of her open door. "Are you okay?" he asked her.

Y/N turned away from her window to look at him. "I'm fine Jimin. I just have a headache," she replied. She walked over to her door and closed it in his face.

Jimin knew something was wrong. She rarely just called him Jimin. She usually called him kitty. And she never closed her door. Jimin wondered what happened and why she was so upset.

Y/N stayed in her room the rest of the afternoon. She came out in the evening and cooked a quick dinner for them. They sat quietly at the table, with Y/N just pushing her food around. She picked up her full plate and dumped it in the garbage. She put her plate in the dishwasher and cleaned up the kitchen in silence.

Jimin was even more confused. Cleaning up after dinner was usually something they did together before settling on the sofa to watch a movie.

"Are you sure you're alright?" Jimin asked.

Y/N nodded. "I'm fine Jimin. I just still have a headache. I'm going to bed. Good night," she said. Y/N went back to her room and closed the door again.

Jimin was even more confused. She called him Jimin again, didn't stay out to watch a movie with him, and didn't even touch him. He wasn't sure what he did wrong, but he knew he had to make it right.
