When Jimin finished talking to Suga, he goes back to the kitchen downhearted.

«It's all OK?» Emma asked looking at his face.

He nodded and said, «I need to go back home. They scheduled a photo shoot, and after that a few interviews. Aish, I don't want to go back they will scold me.»

«Really?»

«Wait, come with me. If you're with me they might not.»

«Yeah, so they will scold me and you even for that. Thank you but no, I'll pass. Anyway, you should go now, so you won't miss the photo shoot. I know you really like your job.»

«How can you tell?»

«Well, it shows. I could feel it from yesterday's performance and we could always meet another day, no? I will be staying here for a month, so there will be plenty of time. And say sorry to your friends from me. If you told me you were busy I would have sent you home yesterday.»

«Well, it was my fault. I didn't listen well to the manager.»

«Here this is my number, save it and when you are free you can text me ok,» Emma said giving him her business card.

Jimin eyes were glimmering when Emma gave him her number. He was so happy that he hugged her. She was so surprised that didn't move a muscle. He ran to the elevator and was about to press the button but he ran back to her hugged her again and kissed her cheek multiple times and then finally went with a big smile pasted on his face. She closed the door only when the sliding doors closed and slowly slide down on the floor feeling her face so hot that she could cook an egg on it. She was still elaborating on what happened when her phone rang.

«He-Hello? Oh Mimi, tell me what's up?»

«Unni, we're coming to get you in about an hour ok.»

«O-ok, good.»

«Unni?? Are you alright?»

I'm not alright. No, not right now. If only you knew who just left, you'll understand, she thought hiding her head between her knees.

«Yes, don't worry.» she was still feeling her face on fire when she got up and entered the bath, the mirror showed a red tomato where supposedly was her face.

«If you're sure then see you later,» Mimi said before hanging up.

Emma opened the cold water and splashed her face again and again and again to the point of freezing.

Looking at her in the mirror told herself «What are you doing? You're not a little school girl. Get a grip,» and then splashed again.

When Jimin arrived home, he didn't notice the six guys that were looking at his smiling face. He was going straight to his room when Namjoon cleared his voice.

«Hey stranger, why didn't you call to say you weren't coming home hmm!» The leader said.

«I don't think he heard you, Nam,» Jin said

«Oh, please leave him be. Don't you see that he's in love? Look at these eyes and this smile. Look at his face!» Hobi said squishing his cheeks with one hand.

«He is back, now can I go back to sleep before the shoot,» Suga told yawning. «I worked all night and I'm really tired.»

Tae looked at him without saying a word but thumping his feet on the floor meanwhile JK jumped on him shouting « Jimin-ssi, I knew you were in love Jimin-ssi, I knew it. Tonight, we're going to throw a party for you. What's her name, what's her job, why is she here, when would we meet her, she has a friend for me?» Flashing his bunny smile.

Putting down JK he reached his room and closed the door. He seated on the edge of his bed took out his phone and send a message to Emma.

Jimin: It's me Jimin. Baby girl, I'm home😢

Emma: Why that face?

Jimin: because I already miss you.

Emma: 😳😵 AHAHAH really? Ok, thanks, I suppose?! Have a nice day and good luck with your job.

Jimin: when I'm less busy I'll call you. Bye.

He put his phone away and fell on his back with his arms open then started to recall the previous day. The way she hugged him after he gave back her ring, the way she laughed, her giggling, the fantastic dinner they made together, well she prepared most of the dish, and then the sharp pang he felt remembering her face going pale when he asked about her parents.

Only thinking about it made his eyes wet, then her painful crying. It felt like someone had kicked his heart, and a tear slowly got down his cheek. He immediately wiped it and he thought about the feeling of rightness e felt, like he was meant to be with her. Flash of her sleeping face ran through his memories and he felt his face reddening.

A light knock at the door woke him from his daze. Tae's face appeared from the slightly opened door. «Can we talk for a moment,» the boy said.

«Sure, come in.» He replied, sitting up again «What would you talk about?»

«I know what you said to me yesterday...» His friend started to say.

«I don't want to argue with you Tae, so please don't say anything.»

«I can't stay silent, look at you. You didn't call and stayed out all night, you forgot that this morning we had an important photo shoot!»

Jimin stared at him really angrily, Tae was startled for a second. He knew how scary he could be when angry but still continued to talk.

«Namjoon-Hyung had to find an excuse to let it slide at this afternoon. We had to rearrange our schedule and now we have merely time to eat for the next two days. You didn't even excuse yourself with him.» He expected a response from his friend that didn't come. «I understand that you like her but...»

«I don't like her. I'm in love. I love her.» That was a revelation, Jungkook said it jokingly but now he knew for sure. He loved her and it was at first sight, he knew it.

«Ok, ok you're in love, and what? Do you want to spend time with her, go on dates, and do all things normal couples do? Snap out of it, you can't, we can't. We are not normal and this kind of life could give a lot of pressure, you saw with your eyes what happened to Suga-Hyung and his girlfriend.»

«Yes, I remember very well. And I know that you're worried about me.» Jimin really knew but the thought of not being able to see her was devastating. «Anyway, don't worry we're just friends,» he said in a sad voice. «I don't want her to pass through it. Remembering Hyung's face when the story was blown on tabloids thanks to the sasaeng it's enough.» Said so he got up to hug his best friend and then he headed into the living room to excuse his behavior to Namjoon.

«Namjoon-Hyung I'm sorry for what I did. I know I should've called, I have no excuses. And I'm sorry to all of you Hyung for making you worry about me.»

«Ok, the important thing is that you're alright because you're ok right?» Hobi asked him.

«Yes, Hyung. Oh, and she sends her excuse too.»

«What for?» Jin asked.

«I think she felt guilty for not sending me home earlier.»

«She isn't at fault here. And you have to make us forgive you.» Nam said.

«Great. Today Jimin will prepare lunch and wash the dishes for punishment.» Jin told the others putting a ladder in his hand.
