You were walking around the garden keeping company to the cousin of TaeYong that had come to pay a visit. It was the third time in your life that you had seen the man ,once at the engagement then at the wedding ceremony and the after party this being the only time that you were left completely alone with him. From what you had grasped though regarding his character he was a rather cheerful gentleman so unlike his cousin and your husband Taeyong.

You mother in law seemed more than happy that he came by to pass the night and you were trapped for an hour or so listening to her conversations with him before she asked you to take him for a walk till the dinner would be ready. You didn't argue back at that moment as it would be inappropriate to do so even though you were nervous of what exactly to talk with this person whom was practically a stranger to you however you composed your nervousness and tried to open a conversation regarding the little information you had on him. That was how you had ended instead of staying at the living room where your mother in law left the two of you,walking around the mansion ,him talking about the places he had traveled to as he was a journalist .

You had been listening to his talk for quiet a while now and to be honest you found his narrations kinda interesting , the way he perceived the world and his sense of humor was pretty nice however he tended to get a bit touchy and over friendly as he laughed thing that put you a bit at an uncomfortable state as it was obvious he wasn't doing it on purpose .He mostly seemed unaware of his actions as he laughed loudly however you tried to keep a distance instead of pointing the fact out and make him feel embarrassed .

Hosung was still emerged on the funny event that he had happened to witness on his way to Korea two days ago that he returned and his eyes were telling you clearly that he was anticipating a good reaction out of you once he would be done so you just smiled as you listened to him trying to ignore his hand that was resting on your shoulder as he was looking at your eyes, your fit having stopped walking as he had halted to have a good look of your face. Excitement visible on his eyes as he was  barely waiting to see you burst out in laughter after he finishes his little telling ,excitement that vanished once a voice disturbed his story and made you turn around to face Jimin whom seemed to be back on his butler outfit .

" They ordered me to inform you that dinner is ready." He spoke calmly as his eyes got pinned on his hand that was resting on your shoulder before he locked eyes with you.

"Let's go then." You turned and told Hosung who seemed a bit disappointed but smiled anyways promising to finish his story after dinner is over then you both headed towards the entry, Jimin following some feet distance .

---time skip---

After the dinner was over you all moved to the living room ,Hosung sharing his stories with more people than just you. TaeYong however seemed rather uninterested to his cousin's talk but that didn't surprise you. He was mostly uninterested in anything else but politics. His mother and father though were making up for his lack of interest and participation and you were trying your best to not offend the man in any way till you excused yourself for a moment to your room. 

The whole socializing that was going down had started to tire you and you needed a moment of silence and loneliness before you go back there  for God only knows how long they intend to keep this up before deciding to finally call it off and go to sleep.You weren't sleepy or anything as the time had yet to go eleven pm but he was more talkative that you could actually handle . To not mention the happy and in love couple facade that you and TaeYong had to pull as long as you were at his presence .

After you reached at your room you took a deep breath contemplating seriously to just pretend you fell asleep and never go back there however you knew well that such an act wouldn't be nice. Non the less you stayed a good ten minutes at the corner of your bed ,collecting yourself mentally for another round of TaeYong's hand holding yours all the time as he would seat beside you . It was really difficult to not try at least once to retrieve your hand away from his however you had tried your best ,the act eating of you more energy than you had imagined.

As you were about to get up you heard someone knock on your door and you let them in as you approached towards the door ,thinking that he might have send a maid to call you or something and you were partially right as you saw your butler at the doorstep. " I am coming ,he didn't have to send you immediately ." You told him once you halted before him as he was blocking your way.

"Oh, he didn't send me. They actually haven't notice your absence took this long yet." He clarified as he stepped inside the room and closed the door behind him , making you give Jimin a confused gaze as about to why he had entered your room.

"Then why are you here?"

"I worried since you took so long. Are you okay?" He asked you and at that moment you lost all your words as you kept looking at his eyes. No, you weren't okay. All that hypocrisy going down there had made you feel sick inside as you usually do at such cases.It always  bothered you yet no one used to notice cause you always did your best to keep up that persona of a  proper collected lady that was unbothered by any situation.

"I am fine" You told him as you avoided his gaze and tried to leave but as you were about to take hold of the knob of your door ,Jimin's hand cupped yours making you retrieve it immediately as well as turn and look at him again.

"I am sorry, my mistake, i didn't mean to.." He trailed off as he looked away his right hand reaching at the back of his neck and scratching a bit his pink color hair before his eyes returned to you again.

"I think it's better if you don't go down .I can tell them you fell asleep or something." His words put you in thoughts as to why would he suggest such a thing however you weren't planing to stay an ask him ,instead you just walked out of that room and down the stairs while your mind kept finding Jimin's behavior as strange as unacceptable . You couldn't understand where does he take all this bravery to do such actions. Telling you what you should do and what not? It looked that a friendly approach with that guy was a bad thought at that very moment and bothered by his behavior as you were at that instant you thought that you should correct it and put a clear line regarding him.

As you approached closer to the living room though, your thoughts regarding Jimin got disturbed once you heard a familiar name being mentioned.

"...That Choi Girl wasn't even that talented of an artist. Had you seen her paintings auntie? Trying to make a career while having so little talent must have been hard. No wonder she gave up her life." His words hit inside you like an arrow that tore apart your calmness and manner ethics ,anger rising instantly inside you,like a volcano that blew up out of no where and wouldn't hesitate to take any lives that would fall in its road of lava.

You were about to step in there and put that stupid man and his unwanted opinions in his place not carrying about what damage those actions would bring to your image however a hand grabbed your wrist and pulled you with him down the corridor on your left and that hand belonged to non other than Jimin."Let me go." You ordered him coldly as you really wanted to put TaeYong's cousin in his place . How dare he criticize your friend's paintings? What did he ever knew about her passion and her love for her art? What right did he had to state an opinion over only two paintings she had made public!?" He had no right to speak and it had gotten you furious.

"I am sorry but i can't do that. You are obviously not on your collected state. I won't let you do something you may regret." Jimin responded as he firmly denied to do as you asked him to,winning a rather annoyed expression out of you.You glared at him before you tried to pull your hand away from him but as he was stronger you ended up being pulled closer by him, Your free hand having rested on his chest to keep balance because of the sudden pull that occurred.

As you looked up at him angered at his unacceptable behavior, the close proximity of his face kinda took your words away for an instant and as you remained quiet just looking at each other, you could feel the tension rising in the atmosphere ." I know how you feel. I get it. But his opinion can't change facts.It can't make her look better or worse. It's not worth it getting into a fight. There are always people that will criticize something for good or for bad. "Jimin spoke up as his eyes had yet to waver from yours and you looked at him silent for a bit more before looking away and taking a deep breath, knowing well that he was right and that if your were to act impulsively this would bring damage to your name .

We have freedom of speech and as thus you couldn't stop anyone from saying anything about her or anyone else nor could you protect her grave that got vandalized for no apparent reason. Were you supposed to just sit and listen and gulp down whatever it was to be said just because it wouldn't be proper to tell a guest off in your own house? And if yes why did it hurt so much staying quiet? 

"Just let me go." You told him lowly as you kept looking away and he let go slowly of your wrist only for your surprise to find yourself in his embrace, your eyes having grown wide as he hugged you, one hand wrapped around your shoulders as the other was cupping the back of your head.

You felt him caressing your hair softly as he held you close and after some moments that took you to recover from his unexpected action you started noticing the warmth that his body was radiating and how comfortable you suddenly grew in it as your mind wondered how did he knew? That you were so much upset inside that you actually felt at the verse of crying out of momentary frustration. Just how could his actions that made you rather mad sooth you so quickly right on time?

"Say, what are you doing Jimin?" You asked him while he was still holding you and your question made him break the hug and pull away in order to face you. His expression was showing a clear question mark about your question which you didn't hesitate to clarify .

"Are you aware of your actions? Are you aware of your behavior? Just what are you trying to do? What is it that you want from me?" You boldly asked him now having taken a step distance form him so you could have a good view of his face and any facial expression he may put on. You weren't sure if his actions were just friendly or not as that vibe he often created when with you , that tension was more than anything innocent or friendly and you just wanted to confirm it. You wanted to know if you were the delusional one or he was really courting  you.

"You really want to know what i want from you?" He questioned as his facial expression grew serious and you crossed your arms over your chest before responding with a firm "Yes"

"I will be very clear then." Jimin stated before he grabbed you and brought you in a kiss that brought your world to a halt.
