"Kyung Mi...I'm not part of the Sparked Mafia. I just used to be. But that was only because I thought they were an organization that helped people!"

"It's literally part of the Mafia. What did you think?!" I exclaim, part relieved, part confused. I tear up a little bit as hope surges through me.

So he's not a traitor after all?

"You have to understand, it was very shady. I didn't know the name of it until after I left. I only joined because I thought it was part of Westover Co., the bodyguard agency I work for now. They tricked me, Kyung Mi. I swear."

They tricked him? Those bastards, I'm going to get them back for this!

"But if you were innocent, why not say something? You just wasted a year of your life in jail!" I say, both mad at and for him.

He smiles sadly. "I knew if I pleaded guilty, you would go after the Sparked Mafia in anger that they tricked me. And knowing your recklessness, you would have gone by yourself, without any backup. That would've been really dangerous."

A weight seems to fall upon me as guilt seeps through my heart. "So you...you were willing to go to jail, spend all those hours in a terrible cell eating terrible food, just to keep me safe?"

His voice is soft, tender. "Isn't it my job to protect you?"

My eyes fog up. "Dammit Jimin!"

Then I do something crazy.

I scrunch up his shirt with my fist, pull him forward, and bring our lips together.

And then we kiss.

I pull away softly as tears fall down my cheeks, and I slowly open my eyes to see Jimin looking down at me with a shocked look on his face. The look then becomes a caring one as he presses his warm hands against my face and uses his thumb to brush my tears away.

"Don't cry, Kyung Mi-ssi." His arm snakes around my back to bring me into an embrace.

I allow the tears to fall down freely, wailing into his chest thinking of his sacrifice towards me. And the whole time he was miserable because of me, I was busy hating him for assuming he was a traitor.

We stay like that for a while until I feel the world slip away.

When I awake, I'm not aching like I was the last time I came to. Instead, I feel a warmth and look down to see Jimin's hand's interlocked with mine.

I look up at his face to see he's sleeping in his chair that's next to the bed I was sleeping in.

I slowly get up and look at him closely. His face is beautiful, now that I get to look at it, and he's an adorable sleeper. His brows are furrowed over his closed eyes and his cheeks are sucked in by the pout of his luscious pink lips.

As an idea formulates in my mind, I think this is going to be difficult.

I turn my back to his body and slowly reach my arms back behind me. As they reach his legs, I slip them under his thighs (which, by the way, are as muscular as hell) and cup my fingers around them.

Prepping myself, I tense my muscles up before using a burst of energy to pick his body up.

And to my surprise, I'm able to pick him up. But then my clumsiness ruins it.

I literally trip.

"Shit!" Are my last words before I collapse to the ground with a freaking grown man on top of me.

The hard floor hits my front as Jimin falls on my back. Pain erupts on my body from various areas as I take the impact from both things. I hear a familiar beeping on his bracelet designed to protect me.

"OW...Kyung Mi?"

As I slowly get up I see Jimin doing the same with a pained, tired look on his face. Aw dang, I woke him up!

"Oh, s-"

"You bum, what'd you do this time?" He asks, half accusatorily, half jokingly.

"Well, I was going to apologize but it's not actually my fault." I say, lifting my chin up a little. "I was doing a good thing. I was trying to move you to the bed so you could sleep comfortably but I didn't know you'd be such a fat pig and hard to carry!"

Not true. I fell because I slipped.

"Excuse me? Fat pig?!" He says offendedly.

I nod curtly. He proceeds to tickle my stomach but I dodge, and, before I know it, we're rolling around on the ground trying to tickle each other.

Then the door swings open followed by a confused, "uh...what are you guys doing?"
