Jimin's P.O.V.

"Yah he left already," Taehyung's upper body pops up from the window and look down at me. "Why do you look like you got raped? You're all sweaty and your hair's a mess!" He growls and I almost died.

Why does he always almost kill me in the middle of my nervousness?

"Like I want to got caught!" I carefully stood up from the roof I sat on and immediately noticed his lips.

He clicks his tongue and snaps his finger at me, "Hah! Got 'em!" He jokes.

"What the fuck happened to your mouth?" I can a red rectangular mark across his lips.

"That Jin guy taped my mouth out of the blue!" I almost tripped on my way out to fell over their roof.

"Oh..." My head feels fuzzy as I stand on the roof, but it's just really like me, heights aren't my thing even on just standing on a damn roof.

"Let's get you outta here, also, that Jin guy took away Jungkook so no worries." He states and helps me up on sliding into the window.

"Thanks," I said as I land my feet on the floor.

"Now my puppies are terrified because of that homophobic dumbo." He sulks and sits on the floor to hug his puppies, "C'mere my rainbows, the boogeyboo is gone."

As much as possible I want to laugh at my friend of his mother-like manners towards the pups he have.

Well just like what Jungkook says, not to be rude but he can't bear babies like women. Besides, Tae's a lot more comfortable with puppies than kids. He does like kids but not that much.

"Where's Hobi hyung?" I didn't heard him saying anything earlier.

"Bathroom." He snorts softly and shrugged. "He ate the spicy noddles this morning before we got out to play with the puppies and now he's having diarrhea."

That just made me laugh mentally because I don't want to laugh at my hyung. Hobi is really a sensitive person especially when it comes to his privacy.

But then, it was such a relief Jungkook left this house already. And because of that, I'm afraid that something could waiting for me later on.

"Tae I don't want to go home..." I told him and slump myself on his queen size bed within the cotton sheets.

"But you have to, hurry up before he gets home." Then he adds a nudge on my side, "It kinda sound like you two live together." Adding some chuckles in the end.

I have no clue what on earth he is trying say, I tilt my head to the side, "We do live in the same place."

And as I tilt my head, he sighs and massages his temple. "Why do I have such a cute innocent friend...?" He asks himself in a mumble which I didnmt understand.

"Did you said something insulting to ne just now?" I asked him, brows raising.

"No, no, of course I don't." He says in sacarsm mod and drag me along out of his room, his puppies following behind.

"Hobi~ I'm walking Jimin to their home, catch up if you're done!" He shouts before closing the door after hearing small Hobi's response.

"Okay-"

As we walk, I can see Namjoon hyung by their opened double door, arms are formally folded on his front.

"Hyung?" I called while walking with Tae who is practically telling his puppies to play outside for a minute.

Namjoon hyung turns around at us and smiles at me, "Hey Jimin."

"Where's Ju— I mean your friend?"

"You mean Jungkook?" I nodded. "I thought you met him earlier—"

"Knocked him off accidentally when he comes banging on my door when my puppies were totally scared." Tae says and folded his arms.

He got shocked by his brother's statement and nods for several times, looking away because he's in thought.

"So that's why he was being carried by Jin out of the house," then he looks at us, "passed out."

I was surprised by what Namjoon hyung said and look right away to Taehyung and whispered "Why did you do that?!"

"I'll tell you later!" He began and pulls me again by arm. "I'm walking Jimin to his home hyung, see ya later."

"Hey wait for me folks!" Hobi catches up and jogs in jolly, his jagger pants tuck his big shirt that turned Taehyung angry.

"Hobi your shirt!" He yells at the exact time that Hobi is with us, he looks at the end of his top, stared at it before before at us as well.

Then making fun of it by dancing goofily.

"Yah! Hajima!" I can't help but just laugh, Taehyung is so done with us right now.

That's when Hobi stops dancing and hugs the both of us to continue our walk, all of us waving at Namjoon hyung as we go.

~~~~

"Thank you for walking me back." It's really rare for my friends to walk me back to the Jeon's especially if it's really risky.

"No problem! Anyways, take this!" Taehyung hands me a box and a sim card, having me surprised.

"I-is this a—"

"We got really worried when you get home, especially these days that one of your feet is buried in the ground since you are keeping your identity from my cousin." Taehyung says.

"You d-don't really have to! This is too much Taehyung! Hobi!" I exclaimed in a whisper.

Both of them smiles and shake their heads. "It can also be a way for us to talk whenever you or we want or need. And we're your friends after all Jimin.." Hobi states and I teary smiles.

I didn't really noticed them holding a box, it looks like it cane out of nowhere but they really don't have to do this for someone like me... But I won't hesitate because they're my friends, so I'm gonna take it.

"T-Thank you, both of you!" I can't help it but hug them tightly.

I'm really grateful that I have friends that is as humble as them. It makes me feel like I have real brothers though they're somewhat together, they still do their best to make me not feel like a third wheel.

It makes me miss my family...

"You should go now, let's stop the drama." Taehyung sighs and pats my shoulder.

Here he goes again, not wanting to make a dramatical scene in our lives. Taehyung has been going through many struggles ever since he admitted that he's bisexual, not to his parents or anyone, but to Jungkook, and to some people.

Although he's bisexual, it doesn't change who he is. It doesn't change him to be a guy or be himself, he's still Kim Taehyung. Some people just won't let themselves understand him, they lack with acceptance and respect. Let's just ignore their negativity and just respect them at least.

"Well then I'm going.." I waved at them, who are walking away.

"Call you later." They both said and their sight disappeared, I frowned when they're gone but smiled when I look at what they gave me.

I successfully entered the gate, actually we call sneak gate since we're only the ones, the maids, butlers, and my friends, who knows this path to go inside the Jeon's.

"I wonder what happened to the heir?" I heard one of the maids the are just about to go out I assume.

"I'm worried that he had been in trouble while ago with Mr. Hoseok again." Another female voice

"Hey Jieun noona! Yerin!" I greeted the girls when I saw them but not too loud. Their eyes widened and my eyes wide as well when I saw them with masks on their faces.

"What the?"

"Chimin! You idiot! Hurry up inside!" Jieun noona pulls me as well as Yerin back in to the dorm and quickly shuts Yerin and I's door room shut.

"Get dressed!" I felt humiliated when they tried to almost ripping off my hoodie, good thing I flinch them right off me.

"You almost tear my clothes!" I sulked and push them out of the room which was done easily. "I'm getting ready!"

And finally closing the door loudly in their faces, leaving them both furious, I don't care if they'll kill me after I get changed.

I sighed and hugged my hoodie against my arms. This jacket will be my favorite from now on if they just know, I got to hang out with Namjoon hyung even if it's just a bit.

For several minute, I managed myself to get changed into my maid uniform. Struggles costs nothing since I'm really used to it. When I opened the door, the two women shoved me back with a mask on one of their hands.

"What the fuck!" I exclaimed and fell on my bum but gladly on my bed. "Can't you all be careful?! I didn't have anything this morning and I'm starving!"

"Your reasons aren't reasonable enough." Yerin comments that made me pissed.

"Shut up! Girls like you starve yourselves to death, I'm not like you!" I fire at her.

"Shut up! I'm not!"

"No! You shut up!"

"Just shut up, both of you, you should at least have some manners." We stopped arguing when we heard Jieun noona will a bloody sounding voice, more like a murder.

"Hmp." We both said in unison and she huffed.

"Now Jimin, I have to cover you up. We've been waiting for you." Confusions flooded my senses of what she meant.

Am I gonna wear that mask too? Wait, this must be Ms. And Mr. Jeon's plan from what I recalled.

They've talked about it earlier so this must be it. But how come they were able to provide each one of us with masks and it seems well-customized?

The mask has a blue feathers and some tiny gems on the side that looks to real. As my hands received the it, the glitters aren't falling off my hands, it was amazing and beautiful.

"Jimin? Put it on."

"Why do we all have different masks?" I asked them.

"Our masks are based on our personalities. Ms. Jeon said she hired for around a hundred or two people to make these masks that observed our files and behaviors. We weren't aware of it but we made sure that we put it on right away before the heir returns." Jieun noona answers.

"But how are we suppose to recognize each other?"

"Half of the population of us maids here have been transferred to the company field and to the ball's venue." Yerin asnwers this time while tying her hair all smooth, she's really got a smooth hair.

"Won't that confuse the heir?" They shook their heads.

"Jin oppa will explain everything to him the rest of the details." I sighed in frustration, now he's ll easily find me if Jin hyung does.

"Oh— is our little Jimin  worried about the heir?" Urgh, here she goes again.

"Shut up forehead." I dissed her and she just laughs at me, noticing that I'm pissed.

"Midget, let's stop this. We have a lot of work to do so put that mask of yours before I do it for you." I rolled my eyes on her and put the mask on.

As we head back to do the chores, I started walking towards the kitchen where I know that I was assigned. But before I could go, someone stops me by arm.

When I look back to see who is it, Momo greets me with a shy smile. Urgh, why are my co-workers so pretty? Except Yerin because she's annoying.

"You were changed to go in the heir's room, he's a mess right now. A packing tape was tapered on his lips and he's got messy hair when he arrived with Seokjin-oppa." She states in a worry and sighs.

"O-oh, okay I'm on it." I bowed to her lightly as a thank you and hurried up to the heir's room.

When I arrived, expectations hit me.

Seokjin is struggling of carefully pulling off Jungkook's packing tape off him. The heir is alseep and I silently hit him, making him look around me with shock.

"What the fuck did you do to him and Taehyung?!" I whispered in anger.

"They're so annoying! How am I suppose to shut them up if I didn't do that!?" He whispers as well before continuing to pull the tape off, not trying to wake him up with pain.

"You could have warned them!"

"It's no use you know?! They're not listening to me when they fight!" He complains that I get pissed.

"Them make them listen to you!" I shoved him off from Jungkook, letting both of us to hear a loud screech of the packing tape. That made me cursed mentally when I heard a groan.

Good Lord...

"Urgh... Jin hyung... You're so...mean.." He groans, I can't help it but feel the guilt but almost laugh as well of what I've done.

"Oh no, I'm sorry JungKook it was an accident! Are you okay?" He asks in a worry.

Looking back, I saw him getting up from his bed. "Yeah, I'm alright— eh?"

"Yes?"

"A mask?" He questions and I turned around a but nervously, I got scared that he'll found out it's me. "What's your name—"

"You can't know that." Jin hyung cuts him off and look at him.

"What?" Same Jungkook, same.

"Your father and mother told me that and somehow you have to go in a different way to find your girl. They can't talk, touch, or reveal themselves to you." He explains.

Jungkook to looks at me furiously without warning, seems like he's pissed. "Then...can I remove their—"

"You can't." Geez, why is Jin hyung's so blunt sometimes?

"Okay fine then, it doesn't matter though." And he leaves the room without any more words.

Aish this kid, he's really gets on my nerves. He's like a dog in this family, he won't break rules and follow his parents' request then does it like it's a piece of cake.

Why would he let them control over him actually?

~~~~

Night time, I'm already in my room with Yerin noona who's taking a bath in our bathroom. I was lying down on my bed, holding the mask between my fingers and wondering around.

"Why would Ms. Jeon think of and idea like this?" I asked myself and sighed, throwing in off across my feet on my bed.

Is she helping me to avoid the chance of marrying his son?

When my boredom was freed, I decided to get some fresh air from the outside of the dorm. When I was about to open the door, there's clumps behind the door.

Opening it, I saw the the heir, when I try to open the door, who almost look up before I shut the door close.

"M-Mr. Jungkook?" My hands started to shake and I am so scared of him right now. Who wouldn't be creeped out to see someone you are afraid of is in front of your door?

"Is that you Chimin?" I whined to his voice when I heard my name.

Why do I keep being scared of him? Argh, I want this to be over already for heaven's sake.

"D-don't worry, I'm not forcing you to open this door." I leaned my ear on the door to hear him out clear.

"Is there... Anything you need Mr. Jung—"

"Jungkook." He says.

"Pa-pardon?"

"Call me that, I'm so tired of being called by that." I blushed, remembering that I always call him by that mentally because I'm tired of calling him by the of the heir or Mr. Jungkook. It's embarrassing you know?!

"W-why did you come here... Ju... Jungkook?"

Hearing him sigh, I felt something that leaned onto my door. It could be him leaning himself across the door.

"How do you feel about me Chimin?" He questions which surprised me.

H-he's really something, asking me something like that is just so... sudden...

I pursed my lips, hesitating to speak but to be honest, I adore him and I am insecure to him.

He's rich, manly and strong, outstanding, and he's got a family, unlike me who doesn't have one. Yeah Jin hyung, Taehyung, Hobi hyung, Yerin and the maids who treats me like a family. They know all about me and cherish me but, it's still different when you have loving parents. You have to be more independent and make yourself to be happy in order to forget that you are not alone.

It's really difficult.

"I don't really... know Jungkook..." I mumbled and cover my mouth to stop myself from crying.

Jimin stop thinking about it, get a hold of yourself, he might hear you.

"Are you against this?" He asks again.

"To the tradition?" I tried speaking like I'm not crying at all.

"Yeah." He confirms.

"Why would you ask that?" I mean, isn't he the reason why this tradition is happening?

He told his parents that he wants to get married to me. I'm not the one to judge but I prevent myself of marrying him by not letting him find me and be forced to marry him. And now he's questioning me?

What'a his intention?!

"I found you interesting to marry, and to be honest? I have a lot of reasons to do that."

"Reasons?"

"If I marry you, it's useless because I'll just play of your existence if you'll became my wife."

"Y-you what?!" I knew it, he just wants me for services.

"But then, my real intention is deceive everyone that my great grandmother's tradition is not true." He wants to break the tradition?

"If you want to break it, why won't you just break your parents' rules in finding me?"

He didn't respond after that.

"Jungkook?" I want to hear him out but why isn't he responding?

"I told you before that I'll just play with your existence right?"

"Yeah you did, and it pisses me off." I whispered the last phrase.

"It's not 100% true but it's because... I..." His voice is getting low and I cannot hear it clearly.

"You what?" What is he trying to say?!

"I'm afraid of you."
