Mystery Girl

The Tour Bus 9

Hobi's POV

I had my suspicions about Mi-Cha before, but when she lay a hand on y/n, that was the final straw. The staff member who seemed to have befriended y/n had run up to me, panic was written all over her face and I was so grateful that she came to me for help. Of course, Mi-Cha was going to be fired-I would make sure of this. 

The thing that bothered me was that y/n seemed to not be doing anything to stop Mi-Cha when I found them. She was just sat on the floor, looking mildly surprised and slightly closing her eyes to receive another hit. I didn't want y/n to fight back exactly, but to just sit there and take it felt weird to me. Maybe I should talk to her.

Jimin's POV

Of course, I was anxious that y/n would no longer want to go out now that there had been a confrontation with a delusional saesang. I wanted to ask her, but was apprehensive as I didn't want to sound selfish or self-obsessed, asking if she still wanted to go out with me, but y/n must have sensed this and confirmed she still wanted to come out.

So here we were, in one of the cafes I saw earlier. We are at a table for two, her sitting across from me, sipping at some hot chocolate, looking slightly awkward. Although I feel bad that she isn't completely comfortable, this behaviour points to some form of attraction to me, right? 

With this in mind, I decide to be extra flirty and with every given chance, I try to make her flustered. For example, when she has foam on her mouth, I take my thumb and wipe the foam away gently, before placing my thumb into my mouth. This is very effective, as y/n is red up to the ears. 

When the waitress comes over to take our orders for food, I take y/n's hand in mine as the waitress obviously flirts with me. I then ask y/n what she wants to eat with as much sweetness dripping in my voice as possible. While being entirely efficient at making the waitress back off, it also makes y/n blush and stumble over her words. I am having too much fun with this.

Y/n's POV

I was already nervous about coming here and then Jimin had to go out and make me all flustered. His incessant flirting must simply be a habit, and I try not to flinch every time our skin touches or our eyes meet. However, Jimin makes this extremely difficult when he looks in my eyes so deeply. I know he can read me like an open book, and I am not sure if I like that. Maybe I don't want him knowing everything about me so easily like this.

I maintain my breathing and try not to fangirl. After all, once a fangirl, always a fangirl. Even if you think you are over it, you will come across something and you won't be able to resist. At least that is what I have found. When the food arrives, I dig in straight away. Jimin eyes his cake with what looks like regret or reluctance. 

I lean forward to make eye contact with him. "Look at me Jimin," I say softly, "You don't have to eat it, but look, I am eating this and I am not overweight am I? And don't start to think that it is different for you, you are in way better shape than I could aspire to be, so why don't you focus on me and enjoy your cake with no worries ok?" The cloud is still behind his eyes, but he seems to be less concerned and takes a bite while still looking at me. 

Jimin's POV 

Y/n's soft-spoken voice distracts me from my inner conflict if only momentarily and the self-deprecating voice retreats towards the back of my head. My heart warms at her words and I take a bite to show that what she said went through to my head. Her proud smile makes me feel enlightened. It is like getting recognition as a child for something good you have done. I want her to be proud of me. 

When we exit the cafe, there is a chill in the air and as y/n walks in front of me, I see her shiver slightly. Swiftly, I pull her back into my arms, so that I am giving her a back hug. She seems surprised at first but eventually leans back into my chest as I place my head on her shoulder. The feel of her in my arms is so unique. The warmth carried through her smaller body heats my hands and her face brushes against mine slightly as she tries to look at me. 

I smile goofily like an idiot, over the moon that I had the courage to do this. Y/n seems comfortable, but from what I have seen, she does seem to be quite a touchy person. This is a good thing because I can give her hugs like this and it won't be awkward.

Author's Note

Ah so here it is! I have no excuses for this superrr late chapter, please forgive me :( To clarify, Jimin has had problems with food in the past and if any of you out there are struggling, please know that you are worth more than that and that help is the best thing for you! I only wanted to briefly touch upon it for some good old character development. Hopefully, my updates will be more regular now. Vote and comment if you want, love you 💜
