I've just realised Chapter 18 was posted twice...I have no idea how, but I'm just going to leave it as to not get rid of votes/comments on both :P

IMPORTANT: I'm glad for the few that vote but I'm hoping for more votes cos it tells me how you feel about my writing, you know? It does take me a while especially seeing as I'm in exam period but I'm still writing and I'd really appreciate less silent readers and more active ones...that would be awesome! Thanks!

Jimin tapped a pen on the desk, staring at the wall in deep thought as the pen steadily created a beat that was annoying Namjoon to the point he had to tell him to stop.

"Jiminie, please stop that, it's annoying," Namjoon frowned and Jimin quickly nodded, dropping the pen onto the table. It wasn't long before his fingers began to do the same thing, his nails rapping on the wooden surface, his eyes never leaving the pale cream wall.

"Jimin..."

"Sorry hyung." Jimin stood up, glancing at Namjoon's phone screen as he walked past him behind the sofa, before retreating to his room.

Jungkook was practising his dancing, not in the BigHit studio but in their gym hall. Just as he reached the climax of the song and spun into position to perform the chorus, the music suddenly stopped, making Jungkook spin around with a frown before realising who it was.

"Hey," Yoona smiled, walking towards him. Jungkook smiled back, gratefully accepting the towel she was offering to him, wiping away the sweat from his face and neck.

"Everything okay?" He questioned, and Yoona nodded.

"Yeah, I just wanted to see you..." She trailed off, blushing.

"Aw, babe," Jungkook smirked, tucking a strand of stray hair that had fallen loose from her ponytail behind her ear. He chuckled as he watched his girlfriend turn to the colour of a tomato.

"You like that?" He laughed, tipping her chin up. She shyly glanced away, and Jungkook took that as a satisfying yes, she liked the term of endearment.

"So, babe, how come you came to see me?" He smirked, stretching out his limbs. She looked up, raising an eyebrow.

"What, can I not just come see you whenever?" She laughed, but the light blush was still visible on her cheeks. Jungkook grinned.

"Of course," He chuckled, pinching her nose like a child, causing her to squeal and push his hands away.

"Why are you suddenly frowning?" Yoona's smile vanished as she gently smoothed away the creases on the boy's forehead with her fingertips.

"Nothing..."

"Jeon Jeongguk." She said sternly. "Come on, you and I both know it's not 'nothing'."

"Well..." Jungkook bit his lip, dropping his gaze to the floor.
"I was just thinking about Yoongi hyung. We need him, we're not a team with one of members missing," He frowned, walking over to sit on the bench and motioning for Yoona to do the same.

"I know Hoseok hyung and Taehyung hyung are busy right now trying to hack the Internet for clues, and Jimin, Namjoon and Jin hyungs are taking it in turns to go out and search for him but, I feel useless." He dropped his head in his hands.

"I want to help, I want to feel like I'm doing something to contribute, but Namjoon hyung said it's too dangerous in case I have another episode," He rubbed his forehead, while Yoona - who was listening attentively - sat up straight to reply.

"Then why don't you? Sit with Hoseok or Tae, or ask to accompany one of the members when they go out rather than going on your own," She suggested.
"You know, I really miss Yoongi too..."

Jungkook half smiled, putting an arm around her shoulders and pulling her closer to him.
"Yeah, I know. I know," He was absentmindedly rubbing her back, as they both sat leaning on each other in a comfortable silence.

"You know what else?"

Yoona looked up at him, indicating for him to continue.

"Well, I was thinking about, you know the discussion we all had about a potential spy-"

"Jungkook?"

A familiar voice called out from the stairs of the hall, causing Yoona to smile and Jungkook's eyes to harden.

"Hey, Jimin," Yoona waved at the shorter male who descended the stairs.

"Hey Yoona," He gave her a gentle smile, before his smile faltered as he laid eyes on the close proximity of the couple, and on Jungkook's steely gaze.

"Can we help you, hyung?" Jungkook asked with a thin smile; Yoona was too busy fiddling with her hair to notice the ever so slight hostility in his voice.

Jimin ignored it.

"You're needed. Namjoon hyung wants to speak to you upstairs," Jimin said, not looking at the younger boy.

"Why?" Jungkook questioned.

Jimin shrugged. "How am I supposed to know? I'm just conveying the message."

Jungkook frowned but stood up none the less, leaning over to place a lingering kiss on Yoona's lips. The girl, rather surprised by the sudden affection, failed to notice the slight wince in Jimin's face as he turned away.

Jungkook caught it though, and with once last unreadable glance at his hyung, he jogged up the stairs and left.

Jimin slowly walked over and sat down next to Yoona, who smiled at him.
"Hey," He whispered, and she grinned.
"Hey."

They sat in a comfortable silence for a few minutes, before Jimin broke the silence again.

"What are you thinking about?"

Yoona didn't look over, instead she let out a humourless chuckle.

"Honestly?... Yoongi, and Melantha and how we're going to have to fight her soon, and how much my life has changed in the past 6 weeks. But mostly...my family."

"Do you miss them?" Jimin asked, glancing over at her just in time to see the fleeting smile on her face before it was gone.

"Yeah. Of course I do. More than I can say."

"Do you want to see them?"

"Huh?!" Yoona sat up at the question, with a hopeful look in her eyes that made Jimin feel a satisfying happiness. "Can I really do that?"

Jimin chuckled, and nodded.
"Can I take you to see them?"

He held out his hand, palm upwards indicating for her to take it.

Yoona looked at his outstretched arm before her gaze flickered to the tiny, hopeful smile on his lips and his dark eyes which were focused on hers.

She hesitated.

There was a little nagging voice in her mind that was telling her that Jungkook would probably not be best pleased if he found out seeing as though there was tension between the pair already, and that she should probably refuse and ask Jungkook to go with her.

Then again, there was another little niggling thought that she shouldn't say no, not to Jimin. She couldn't deny she wanted to see her family right now, and she didn't mind going with Jimin.

Not at all.

She slipped her hand tentatively into his and offered him a small smile, nodding.

Yowch

So Jimin and Jungkook both like Yoona..

Will Jimin be able to steal Yoona away?
Or will he meet someone else?
Or will there be a bts otp ship?
Or will he be forever alone?
