It's been two days since you returned back to Busan and things were really awkward. You kept ignoring Jimin and kept giving him the cold shoulder because you didn't want to do anything with him other than work. But it was hard to do that because Jimin was confused at your sudden change and he always tried making small talk whenever he gets a chance. Thanks to the event tomorrow you pretended to be busy and kept avoiding him. 



Whether you liked it or not the past few days you and Jimin bonded in a way that you can't understand. You could feel it and you know that Jimin feels it too. That's why he is trying to figure out what happened between the two of you. Jimin was really confusing you and making it hard for you to be around him. Part of you want to keep hating him and another part of you secretly longs for him.


"Hello.. earth to y/n? can you hear me?" a delicate looking hand waved in front of your face bringing you back to reality. You looked at Yuna who was in front of you holding some files.



"Oh Yuna. Sorry I didn't see you there." you said giving her a small smile.


"Yeah I can see that ever since you came back from NY you are in another world." she narrowed her eyes at you. 



"I'm just tired and I can't wait to get over with the event tomorrow. It's a big headache." you told her hoping she won't question you more.



"I can't even imagine. Anyways these files are sent by head of each departments and they want to have a meeting with Mr. Park today regarding the event tomorrow." she said handing you the files.


"So they are here. I thought only we are working since it's Saturday." you went through some of the files.


"Yep. Because of the event most of them are working overtime today. Even some directors are here." Yuna informed you.


"Ok. Great. I'll look into these and arrange the meeting soon." you gave a small tired smile, Yuna smiled back sweetly and waved before leaving the office. You let out a frustrated sigh because you had to explain these to Jimin and also arrange a meeting with him. 



You looked at the time and it was almost 3pm. Jimin will be coming in any minute because he went on a lunch meeting with Hoseok earlier. And just like that Jimin walked in like you assumed. Without even looking at you, he walked towards his seat. Taking few deep breaths you took the files and walked up to him. Jimin looked up at you and you notice how his eyes lit up seeing you approaching him. He looks a bit sad and really tired, since you have been avoiding him, you didn't notice how he looked till now. He gave you a small unsure smile to which you just gave a nod. 



"I just got these files from the heads of other departments. They wish to have a meeting with you and discuss these matters before the event tomorrow." you handed him the file and informed him. Jimin gave a nod and went through the file briefly. 



"Even the directors wanted a briefing. So we can have both together. I think my schedule is clear for the rest of the day, so arrange a meeting at 5." Jimin said glancing up at you. Your heart was not allowing you to talk to him because of the way he is looking at you. So you just gave a nod and turned to go.



"Y/n." his deep husky voice stopped you from taking any step forward. You turned to look at him. You could see that he was struggling to say something to you. You tried your best not to show any emotions as you waited for him to say anything else. After quietly staring at each other he finally gave up sighing. 



"Go bring all the case files of Haeundae Warehouse and the factory. I heard the workers had made some complains. I want to go through them since I have some time." he ordered and again you just gave a nod and went out to the store room.



You looked at the recently stacked cases and your eyes widened to see two boxes filed with complains. You sighed not wanting to go near Jimin twice. You were not comfortable by the way he was looking at you. It's like as if he was hurt or something. He was confusing you, it's you who should be like that, not him. So to avoid him as much as possible, you decided to take both boxes at once. Your legs wobbled a bit as you took on the weight of the two boxes. Damn these heels! you regretted wearing pointy heels today out of all days.


You pushed the door open with your shoulder and managed your way in. You were only able to take few steps as you wavered a little and went and knocked your leg on the edge of the coffee table. With a loud yelp you lost your balance and fell with the boxes.


"Y/n are you alright." Jimin was next to you helping you up in an instant. Gosh this is embarrassing! Why do I always embarrass myself in front of him.


"I'm fine. Sorry for dropping the files." you replied avoiding his face and quickly crouched down to collect the files which were everywhere on the floor. You winced as you moved your leg but you continued picking the papers one by one. Jimin stood up and went to his desk only to return with a small box in his hand.


"Get up." he said in a demanding tone but you ignored him and continued.


"Y/n, I told you to get up." he raised his voice and you still didn't care, you just want him gone.



"Jimin I'm fine. I have to pick up these papers." you gave a monotone reply. 



"Fuck the papers. You are hurt so stop being so stubborn." he said in a harsh voice and grabbed you by your shoulders to yank you up. By force he made you sit on the sofa.



"Jimin let go of me. I said I'm fine." you fussed trying to get away but he just held you down strongly. 


"Y/n what the hell is wrong with you? can you be still for a second please." Jimin snapped at you gripping your arms tightly. A scowl appeared on your face. You looked up at him but your heart skipped a beat when you locked eyes with him. His eyes looked so soft, filled with worry and care as he stared into yours. You turned your head looking away in defeat as you remained silent


Letting out a frustrated sigh, Jimin crouched down in front of you and forced your leg out. There was a small cut stained with blood which you fail to notice earlier. You watched Jimin's movements carefully. He took out a cotton swab and cleaned the cut and the blood around it. He was acting very sweet and caring, a side of him that always melts your heart for him. 


"Why can't you be more careful?" He asked softly while applying the medicine. You winced a little to the burning sensation. "Does it hurt?" he asked and even before you could reply, he leaned over and gently blew over your wound, making your heart flutter. Jimin why are you doing this to me? What do you want from me? You watched him with a heavy heart as he kept blowing. No one has ever treated a wound of yours before, specially a small cut like this. No one has ever cared for you this much, so why does Jimin care so much being a playboy. 



"Why are you concerned about me?" you asked the very question that was bothering your mind. Jimin stopped blowing and slowly looked up at you. He gazed at your confused expression for a while and looked down at the box to take out a plaster from it. 


"It's because I care Y/n. I really do care." his reply was more like a soft mumble to himself but you heard it clearly, and that made your heart pound hard against your chest. You remained quiet not wanting to continue this conversation and watched him cover your wound with the plaster. Once he was done, he slowly kept your leg down and stood up to go collect the fallen papers. You immediately stood up to go help him but he looked over at you and raised a hand.



"No. Sit down." he ordered. 



"Jimin I'm not a kid. So don't treat me like one." you frowned at him and helped him pick up the files.



"You never listen, do you?" he asked.

"Not when it's unnecessary." you smirked a little satisfied when he realized that he can't control you all the time.

Jimin was on a call with someone and it was almost 5pm. So you slowly got up from your seat and walked in front of him and pointed at your wrist watch to indicate it's time for the meeting. He gave you a nod and got up from his seat while on the call. He grabbed his blazer to wear because the directors will be coming in. He struggled to put it on while he was on the call, so you went over and helped him put it on. You went over to his desk and opened the drawer where he keeps his ties. Jimin's eyes followed you as you looked up at him and then back at the available ties to choose a matching one. A small smile tugged his lips as he watched you, he can't believe that you still think that he can't put on a tie. Since he likes it when you do it for him, he just remained quiet.



After selecting a solid color tie you went back to Jimin and lifted his collar to put on the tie for him. Jimin was discussing something about the meeting. You could here Hoseok's faint voice from his phone. Jimin had his eyes on you as you stood so close to him. He missed having you this close to him. He didn't know what went wrong that day but he was little bit at ease in his heart because he could see that you are much calmer now. 

"Ok we'll be right there and I'll inform Y/n." Jimin ended the call and looked at you, you looked up at him in confuse at the mention of your name.

"We have to go to the meeting now. Hoseok wants you to brief about the entrance arrangements of handing out masks and why it's necessary for everyone to be wearing masks." Jimin's words shocked you making your eyes go wide. 



"What? why me?" you asked panicking as you followed him out. 


"Because it's your idea and Hoseok liked the way you explained it to the New York dealers." he replied as you both made your way to the meeting room. You quickly held Jimin back before entering and he turned to look at your horror filled face.


"Jimin I-I don't think I can." you were scared and unsure of yourself. You are just a PA who will be infront of Directors and Heads of all the departments. It's not a small meeting and the thought of  being in the spotlight twisted your stomach. 


"Y/n, relax. It's not a big deal. You have done these before. Just think it's a normal meeting. I know you can do it." he said patting your shoulder.


"Hey guys. Glad I met you here. Did you tell Y/n?" Hoseok smiled as he walked over to you both.


"Yes I did. And she will do good." Jimin said with confidence which he may regret later if you screw up. 


"Great. Lets go in." Hoseok and Jimin went in and you nervously followed them in. As always you sat next to Jimin. The meeting started smoothly and you were in a chaotic pit inside your head. You were nervous as fuck and you felt like you are going to have a panic attack anytime soon. You clutched the hem of your skirt tightly under the desk to hold it in. You Need To Calm The Fuck Down! you scolded yourself but your heart was pounding so fast. Why did they have to put me up for this? so many things were going in your mind and you could feel your palms sweating as well. 


As you were trying to calm down, a warm soft hand covered the top of yours. You slowly turned your head towards Jimin and he squeezed your hand slightly in a comforting way and looked at you to give you a brief smile before returning his eyes to the screen. You looked down at his hand over yours which was hidden from others under the table. A warmth washed over you fluttering your heart as he started tracing his thumb up and down over your knuckles. You automatically clasped your fingers around his tightly as you found some comfort. This gesture was giving you thousands of butterflies to your stomach and to your heart. 


Soon it was your turn to do the presentation. Jimin gave a slight squeeze and let go of your hand. When you looked at him, he smiled at you warmly and gave you an assuring nod. Taking a deep breath you went up and looked around. Hoseok slowly gave you a thumbs up which made you smile a little. You greeted them and started the presentation. It went smoothly and you finished it off better than you expected. Satisfied with your work you slowly went back to your seat and continued with the meeting.

After getting dressed you grabbed the mask that you got custom made with the designers at the event with the help of Hoseok since one of them was his close friends. You took out your phone to call Taehyung it rang and rang but he didn't pick up. It was clear that he was avoiding you but you wanted to know why. You know very well that he is here in Busan, because in the morning you got the list of models who attended. You really needed to talk to him after all of this so you dropped him a message.



Tae : Hey I need to talk to you after the show. Hope you got in well. Good luck. 




You waited but just like your previous messages this was not viewed as well. Letting out a sigh you went down knowing that Jimin is here to pick you up. He said he wanted to go to the event early and he wanted you to come with him and stick to him so he could have a look around.



As you went down, your eyes widened seeing Jimin leaning against a luxury Porsche. But more than the car, it was him that stunned you. He was looking amazingly handsome in a tux. You have never seen a man so gorgeous and elegant looking.



Jimin's eyes lit up and sparkled seeing you, He didn't know that the dress he picked would look this good on you. You looked absolutely stunning and he was more than happy to have you around with him through out the event. He smiled broadly at you and you returned it with a small one. Jimin opened the door for you and you were amazed by his gentleman gestures. You thanked him and got in. Once he was in, he started the car and you both drove in silence. 



While Jimin took you around to check every area of the event, you couldn't help but look around hoping to spot Taehyung. Earlier you saw some models relaxing. Since the show will be starting in less than an hour everyone was ready and relaxing a bit. 



"What are you searching for so much? or should I ask who? " Jimin asked out of curiosity. You looked at him a bit surprised that he noticed.


"Is it that obvious?" you asked wondering. 


"Yep. so who is it?" he asked pointing towards the backstage for you to follow him.


"Just looking for my boyfriend." you said honestly. You saw a frown crossing his face but he quickly recovered.


"He is here?" he asked stopping in front of an art piece to observe it for a while.


"Yes. He will be modeling in the event." you said fixing your mask. 


"So he is a model huh?" there was slight irritation to his tone. Not wanting to answer him further you just hummed a yes. It was not his business to know about Taehyung anyways. Jimin's head snapped up as a girl in a white dress passed by us. A frown crossed his face as his eyes lingered on that model. Knowing his dirty mind you rolled your eyes at him.


 Jimin continued and exited the event hall and headed towards the staircase to go down to the changing area of the models. As you two were taking the stairs a familiar voice made you stop in your tracks. A huge smile spread across your face and you were ready to run down but another voice stopped you.



"Tae baby come on just one." a high pitched voice came along with your boyfriend's deep chuckles.


"Wha-" Jimin opened his mouth to say something but you quickly turned and shushed him by covering his mouth with your hand. He looked at you with wide eyes and you gestured him to be quiet. Jimin gave you a nod knowing something is not right. 

You removed your hand and looked down trying to get a glimpse of the two. Your heart was pounding so hard as you were terrified to confirm that it was really your boyfriend. You lowered yourself and your heart dropped to see Taehyung kissing another girl. He is cheating. But why? You felt like something stabbed your back. You were betrayed again, you life was never ending betrayals. Tears stung your eyes as you heard them talk.


"Baby promise me that you will finish everything off with that bitch today. I cannot share you with her anymore. For your sake I sacrificed our love for her and kept hiding for one whole year. I can't do that anymore Tae." Her words felt like needles and they were confusing. 


"I know baby. Everything will be over today. You know I just kept her so that I could get into this company as a model. And I heard the judges already liked my profile and it was confirmed that I will be getting in. So I no longer want Y/n in my life. It's you that I love for the past three years." Taehyung said shocking you. Your whole body was going numb and tears were already falling. You were used, you were just used like a toy. You looked at the girl properly and you realized that it's the strawberry blonde girl from his apartment the last time. How sick is this. You felt like you were about to get sick. 


"I know baby. I don't even want to run into her today but you need to finish this off. I hope she doesn't cling on to you. You are just too precious for a girl like her to let go." she wrapped herself around his neck. 


"Trust me baby. I want to get rid of her more than you. She was just waste of my time. Useless in every possible way. Only thing was that she was dumb enough to pay for our needs." Taehyung said biting into her neck.



As you watched them in horror Jimin wanted to go and punched the guy who was badmouthing you. He couldn't see anything or anyone because you were crouching down and seeing everything in secret. Jimin noticed that you were not taking it well. And as soon as what they were talking was getting out of hand, Jimin quickly yanked you up and covered your ears. 


Your eyes were filled with tears. Hurt, embarrassment, betrayal, everything was written all over your face. Jimin thought you will be strong enough to go and confront them but he was wrong. Here you are hiding and feeling weak. Suddenly something snapped in you and you looked up at Jimin in anger. He noticed you trying to control your emotions. When he reached to wipe your tears. You smacked his hand away harshly surprising him and ran back to the
