Someone walking in while making funny sounds from his mouth made you both turn your heads towards the entrance. Hoseok stopped the noises he was making and gawked at you both as he realized the position you both were in. You both were equally stunned as him not knowing what to do.

"Uhhh... Uh... Should I come later.. or..." Hoseok stammered not knowing what to say either. You quickly pushed Jimin away from you and quickly got up.

"Uhhh.. no Hobi you can stay. It's not what you think. I.. I.. I fell and Jimin caught me before hitting my head. Nothing happened." You lied not wanting to get into trouble for being this close to your boss. Hoseok couldn't remember you, so you didn't want him to get the wrong idea. "I'll get going then. See you guys tomorrow." Without even looking at Jimin properly, you left them both and rushed out feeling embarrassed to go home.

Jimin watched you run out and he couldn't help but smile at the way you reacted. Why is it so hard to have you. Jimin looked at Hoseok who was still scratching his head while staring at the door. He tilted his head in confusion and then looked back at Jimin.

"I really should have called you before coming. Sorry about it man." he said dropping his bag to the floor and sitting in front of Jimin. 

"No it's fine. It's not what you think. But what was that face?" Jimin asked chuckling. 

"No it's that I thought Y/n would be different. She didn't seem the type to find easy ways to climb up." Hoseok said getting the wrong idea about you.

"No Hobi, she is not like that at all. She is different." Jimin defended you but it was the truth and he didn't want Hoseok to think like that about you.

"Be careful Jimina. Don't mess with the staff. It will get complicated because you don't stick to one person and if you fuck her then you will have to get rid of her because these girls will be clingy and expect more." Hoseok warned Jimin not wanting him to cause unnecessary problems inside the office.

"It's not like that. Seriously can't you really remember her?" Jimin asked Hoseok out of curiosity.

"Remember who? Y/n?" he asked confused and Jimin gave a nod.

"Have we met her before?" he asked getting curious as well.

"We used to be in College together. Don't you remember her. We had Social studies together." Jimin said trying to make Hoseok remember. Hoseok rubbed his chin trying to remember. 

"She was mostly in Jenny's class. Y/n used to be shy and silent." he added and all of a sudden Hoseok's face lit up.

"Ohh! Y/n!!!! the girl who you used to look at all the time. The one you kept on talking about after doing some project with her." He chimed finally remembering with a huge grin.

"Yah! don't say it like that." Jimin said feeling embarrassed and Hoseok laughed.

"Woah Daebak! I can't believe that Y/n is ugly duckling. She has changed a lot. Yah why didn't you tell me earlier."

"Ugly duckling?" Jimin questioned at the sudden name.

"You don't know?" he asked surprised with wide eyes. "Ahhh! yeah you stopped coming to College during that time. Y/n became very famous in college back then." he added.

"What do you mean? Why what happened?" Jimin asked feeling uneasy for some reason.

"Ahh.. I'm not sure exactly. But from what I heard that she got stood up by some guy and she waited there for him the whole night. Some students had seen her and taken pictures. And the next day it went viral within the students and people made fun of her and bullied her to the point that she stopped coming." Hoseok said remembering some incidents.

A lump formed in Jimin's throat as a pang of guilt hit him hard. He let out a frustrated sigh as he hung his head low unable to process what Hoseok just said. No wonder you hated me so much! I'm really sorry y/n. I didn't know. Jimin apologized to you in his heart, feeling bad for the things that happened. Even though you both made up and decided to let go of the past, knowing this information pained his heart.

"I deserve her hate." words just came out in a sad voice.

"What's up with you? what are you talking about?" Hoseok asked. Jimin looked up at him guiltily and told him the truth about what happened. And that guy was non other than him. Hoseok was dumbfounded when Jimin spilled everything. He didn't even know what to say. 

"Woah man! I feel bad for her." Hoseok said playing with a ring on his finger lost in thoughts.

"It's all because of me. I feel terrible now." Jimin said.

"Hey. It was not your fault. You had your reasons Jimin." Hoseok said to make him feel better but it was not working.

"I have to go." Jimin stood up to go to you but froze with wide eyes to see you standing near the door with your head hung low.

You forgot your bag earlier as you hurried out and left. You were already half way home when you realized it. But you wanted to get it so you turned around to head back. As you were about to enter you heard Jimin scolding himself for the things that happened. It didn't take long for you to realize that they were talking about you and the bullying incident. 

"Y/n." your name came out soft like a whisper from Jimin. You looked up with tears filled in your eyes. Hoseok quickly turned to look at you at the mention of your name. As you locked eyes with Jimin he walked towards you and wrapped his arms around you, hugging you tightly. "I'm sorry Y/n. I'm so sorry. Why didn't you tell me." his voice sounded heavy and sad. He kept apologizing and you patted the back of his shoulder after calming your self down quickly.

"It's ok Jimin. It's all in the past and it's not your fault." you pulled back breaking the hug to look at him. He looked really guilty and it was not fair. With the help of Hoseok you assured him that it's all okay  and it was not his fault. And Hoseok was kind enough to say nice things to you as well. After a long comforting session you three slowly started talking about other fun things back in the days and now. You three ended up laughing and bonding together while sharing so many stories. Finally you two were really at peace now that's everything was out.

It was the day of the magazine shoot. When Jimin asked you to come along with him to Seoul you were more than happy. It's been so long since you came from Seoul and you had been missing the place a lot. When you and Jimin arrived at the location, the shoot has already begun. You looked at the set up in awe as it was very vibrant with a little touch of darkness to it, just like how Jimin requested. You looked at all the accessories that were on a huge table to be used as props.

"How do I look?" Jimin asked getting your attention to him. He looks breathtakingly handsome in the black designer suit with hair neatly styled exposing his forehead. He had a small interview with the magazine and that's the main reason you both were there at the shoot. 

"You look good and presentable." you said plainly not wanting to boost his ego.

"Just good?" he asked in a teasing manner and you just rolled your eyes making him chuckle. Your smile fell the second you saw Haneri walking towards you and Jimin. He noticed the look on your face and turned to see what you were frowning at. His body tensed a bit when Haneri greeted him in a flirty manner placing her hand on his arm. 

"Hi Jimin. Hope I didn't keep you waiting for long."

"No. They are still setting up the cameras." Jimin gave a flat reply not showing any interest in her. But she didn't seem to notice it as she was being clingy holding on to his arm as she went on talking about the designs she created.

"Uh Haneri, why don't you get ready for the interview. I have something important to discuss with y/n." Jimin cut her off and removed her hand from him. He didn't want to offend her so he gave a small smile and a nod as an apology.

"Oh ok. I'll see you in a bit then." she smiled at him and then looked at you with piercing eyes before walking away.

You looked up at Jimin with a quizzical expression. "What's so important?" you asked. He just smirked, slowly shoving his hands into the pockets. "Did you just lie to her?" you asked when he didn't reply and he just shrugged his shoulders making you chuckle. 

"Wow you really are a one time guy huh? done with her already?" you couldn't help but mock him. He grinned widely as he spoke. "I didn't do anything with her to be her one time. It's not my fault that no girl is able to make me want to stay."

"And how would you even know that when you don't even give anyone a chance?" you questioned his mindset trying to understand him. Jimin lifted his eyes to meet with yours and held your gaze for a second before replying. "Oh trust me princess. I will know."

"Mr. Park. We are ready." A man announced making you both break the stare and turn to him. He gestured Jimin to come with him. Jimin gave a smile before following him, leaving you behind to do nothing.

You just went to the shooting area. Jimin and Haneri was seated next to each other as they were being asked questions. You really didn't like her and the way Jimin was not giving her attention made you smile in satisfaction. He did say nothing happened and Jimin is not the type to hide so you wonder what changed his mind. After watching Jimin for few minutes you walked towards other shoot. They were taking pictures of selected models from the previous event. 

"Up next." the photographer called and the model got down from the set up as the next one got up. You froze as your eyes widened. You looked up from the screen to look directly at the next person to see if you are seeing right. And it was really your fucking ex boyfriend Kim Taehyung. A disgusted scowl appeared on your face as you locked eyes with him. He saw you but gave no reaction at all. Fucking shameless jerk! Did this bastard really get selected! you wanted to scream at him as he ignored you and started posing as if you never existed. You couldn't help but glare at him mentally cursing him. Control y/n.. get your shit together and ignore him. You told yourself and turned to go back to Jimin.

Once the shoot was done. There was a meeting between the people handling the project and they wanted to work with Haneri for the next shoot as well. She was more than happy to take the offer. After finishing up everything Jimin finally let out a sigh. He got up from his seat and signaled you to follow him. You checked the time and it was past 6pm. As you got to him Haneri was already there next to Jimin giggling.

"Since everything went well why don't we go for dinner and catch up with everything that we missed." she said in a seductive tone which irritated you. Before Jimin could answer you quickly cleared your throat to make him aware of your presence. Both of them looked at you and to your surprise Jimin gave you a weird smile.

"I'm sorry Haneri I have other plans for tonight. It was nice meeting you again." Jimin rejected her politely and bid farewell to her. Your lips turned up into a wide smile seeing her reaction. You followed Jimin and got into his car to go. 

"Are you hungry?" he asked as you both hit the road.

"Starving actually." you said honestly because you haven't had anything after brunch..

"Good. I have dinner arrangements with my dad." he said casually and you just gawked at him.

"You want me to have dinner with you and your dad. No thanks. I'll be at some other place, you can pick me when you are done." you said not wanting to get involved in family meetings.

"Relax. My dad is a nice person and he knows that you are coming with me so he made reservations accordingly." He said turning to a luxury hotel parking lot.

"But..But I.." you were at loss of words as you started feeling nervous.

"Y/n. It's just dinner. Pretend as if we are meeting a client or something if you want." he said and then you thought about it. You can actually manage if you thought like that. Letting out a sigh you got down and followed him up to a beautiful grand restaurant. 

"Y/n. go ahead and wait inside. I need to use the restroom." Jimin excused himself and went to the washroom. You entered the restaurant and looked around in awe taking in the beautiful interiors. 

Suddenly a hand wrapped around your arm tightly and dragged you away to a corner. You turn to see that it was Taehyung. His grip was unbearably tight around you and it was hurting you.

"What the hell. Let go of me." you hissed tugging at his hand on you to set yourself free. He looked mad as he glared down at you.

"What the fuck are you doing here? Did you follow me?" he asked in a low growl. Your eyes widened at his claims because you didn't even know that he was here.

"What? No." you gave him an annoyed look.

"Don't lie. I saw how you were looking at me earlier. And now you followed me to my work place." he accused you and it's making you angry but you didn't want to cause a scene.

"I'm here for dinner. Not to see a cheating bastard like you." you said in a low angry voice for him to hear.

"Oh please. This is a high class VIP restaurant. A person like you cannot afford to be here." he scoffed at your face and insulted you. Before you could say anything as anger raged through you, an arm came around your waist from behind.

"Everything ok here babe?" you looked up to see Jimin glaring at Taehyung as he pulled you closer next to him.

"Mr. Park." Taehyung quickly bowed to him but Jimin didn't give any attention to him. He looked down at you. " Are you ok? Is he bothering you?" he asked in a caring firm tone. Taehyung's eyes grew wide as they went back and forth between you and Jimin. You knew that Jimin is trying to help you but this piece of shit is not worth Jimin's attention. So you turned to Jimin and gave him a pretty smile. "No babe. He mistook me for someone else." you said clinging on to Jimin and he gave a nod. 

"Reservations are made for the Park Family. Show us the way." Jimin ordered in a rough tone without even bothering to smile like he normally does.

"Yes sir. This way please." Taehyung showed you the way and looked at you with the corner of his eyes. You wrapped your hand tightly around Jimin's arm as he walked you to the table. Luckily his dad was not here yet. You let out a big sigh as the jerk left.

"Thanks Jimin. I almost lost it." you told him. 

"Anything for you princess. Is he your ex? I saw him earlier during the shoot as well." he asked giving you a sweet smile.

"Yes. he was there as a selected model for the company." you smiled back at him and he gave a nod. Soon after his Dad showed up and Jimin was right. He is a really sweet man and very kind. He didn't make you feel uncomfortable at all. You all had a small talk while having dinner. He was missing his son and wanted to see him before heading back. They really were so sweet together. You didn't see Taehyung after that and once dinner was done,  you bid your farewell to Jimin's dad and drove back to Busan with Jimin.
