Chapter 10



"Hi I'm jimin."

Sae raised an amused eyebrow at Jungkook who was hiding himself in embarrassment behind long pale fingers, before turning back to the almost sexy black haired man standing next to Jungkook.

"Hi, I'm Sae Ra Ryu." She formally introduced herself, trying not to chuckle at how embarrassed Jungkook looked at how Jimin was giving her a glare.

"How can I help you?" Sae asked and Jimin held her gaze fiercly.

"Nothing, I just want to see how you treat our Jungkook." Jimin said and Sae couldn't help but smile at the fierce show of protection that shown in Jimin's eyes for the younger.

"Hyung." Jungkook whined looking apologetically at Sae.

"Be my guest." Sae gave the man a mocking smile, not because she didn't understand where Jimin came from but because she didn't like how Jimin was viewing her without even knowing her. What he was doing right now was almost an insult to her principles as she prided herself in her ethics.

"Its not like I could kick you out anyways." Sae smiled tightly and Jimin blinked but did not move from his place.

"Jungkook, if you please." Sae smiled tiredly at Jungkook, gesturing him towards the bed.

Yesterday she had come home to another bout of yells and accusation of his suspicions. She could barely sleep after his piercing words had sliced through her and then his unforgiving and indifferent silence. Sae pursed her lips, she might have to do something for forgiveness.

"I'm sorry." Jungkook whispered as he helped her roll the machine into the room as Jimin's eyes narrowed in suspicion.

"Its okay." She gave his arm a comforting squeeze and she heard Jimin's chair creaq as she shifted as if to make them know that she was still here.

"Pants." Sae muttered as usual and Jungkook obliged as she set up the machine.

That's when she felt Jimin come to a stand beside her. That's when she had enough, his watchful presence feeling much too like that of her boyfriend's.

"Mr.Park." Sae said firmly as she could as she whirled around to face him.

"Yes?" Jimin asked innocently and Sae noticed Jungkook look worriedly around his shoulder.

"Could you go take as seat over there?" Sae asked politely, trying not clench her fists at the amount of strength it took to muster a smile at the man."I would like to do my work in peace."

"But I would like to see what you are doing." Jimin stated firmly and that was Sae's last straw and she snorted out a breath.

"Unless you see Mr. Jungkook in danger of having forced sexual intercourse or abuse from me, you have no right to invade me and my client's personal space while I'm treating them." Sae said firmly and almost immediately Jimin choked, sputtering out a sorry and rushing off to the chair she had pointed to.

The stunned silence of the room was interrupted by Jungkook's soft snickers which turned out into full blown evil laughter as it went on.

"That's my noona." Jungkook wheezed and Sae had to hide a smirk.

*

"Bye noona!" Jungkook bowed in acknowledgment and almost immediately Sae flicked his head and he held his forhead in pain the apology falling from his lips even before Sae could remind him.

"Sorry Noona." Jungkook smiled sheepishly bunny teeth full on show and Sae rolled her eyes at the younger but her lips were twisted into a soft smile.

"Just remember." Sae reprimanded and Jungkook nodded but Jimin who had noticed the entire exchange stood confused. Sae noticed and grinned to herself but made no move to make it clear to him, knowing it would annoy him further.

Sure enough the male's entire form gave of an annoyed vibe.

"Take care." Sae almost pleaded to the younger boy and he avoided her eyes. "Take rest please. Otherwise the cramping in your muscles will only get worse."

Jungkook nodded softly like usual but by this time, Sae had enough. So swallowing back her pride, she identified Jimin as a person who would force Jungkook to take rest if needed, so she asked, no demanded Jimin for the same thing.

Jimin nodded firmly, hands behind his back and Jungkook visibly gulped knowing that this time, he couldn't suirm out of it.

Just like that, they were out of Sae's office after their final goodbyes.

"Noona?" Jimin asked in disbelief once he had shut the door to the woman's office. "How old is she? How do you call her so informally? Is she a coug-"

"Hyung." Jungkook started pinching the bridge of his nose exasperatedly. "I asked her if I could call her Noona." He admitted scratching the sudden flushed skin of his neck awkwardly.

Jimin blinked a few times as he processed the youngers words. "Okay. Why?"

"What do you mean why?" Jungkook frowned.

"You never like being informal with people. Especially strangers." Jimin reminded him and Jungkook suddenly realized it was true. "You rarely speak with them, much less laugh along with them.

He didn't know why he called her that. Moreover he didn't know why he allowed the latter to act so informally. It just felt right somehow and he hadn't even questioned it.

So scrunching his eyebrows he said the truth, "I don't know hyung."

While Jungkook had expected Jimins neutral face, he was met with a mischievous grin instead.

"What." Jungkook immediately narrowed his eyes as they walked out of the medical establishment.

"Oh nothing." His hyung shrugged a little to enthusiastically but Jungkook decided to let it go.

Except he should not have. He only realized that when he entered the Bangtan dorm ten minutes later along with Jimin.

Namjoon greets them at the door and they both enter the dorm to find Tae huddled into the couch with his Tata plushie squeezed in between his limbs, face scrunched up as he tries to write his own lyrics to the melody demo they had been given. His face breaks out into a boxy grin as he calls Jungkook over excitedly.

Jungkook obliges, chuckling at his hyung's childishness and vaguely notices Yoongi curling up to rest his head on Jimin's lap almost as soon as the latter had settled into the sofa, Jin showing Hoseok a weird dance he made up that morning and Namjoon approaching them with a found smile. It was a quite evening, well as quite as it could get with Hoseok screeching his head off and Jin's contagious window cleaner laugh.

"Jungkook-ah," Tae begins but almost immediately gets cut off by the eldest of the group.

"Yah, Kookie-ah, how did the appointment go?" Jin yells from his position and Jungkook is about to reply noticing all of their concerned gazes on him. Even Yoongi's one eye was open and peeking lazily at Jungkook for an answer.

"It went well." It isn't Jungkook who answers though, it's the overly cheeky Jimin who does it.

"Why do you look so cheeky?" Yoongi mumbles sleepily, poking his long fingers on Jimin's squishy cheeks and the younger bats his hand away irritably.

"Because..." Jimin trails off and Jungkook's not sure ehy is his face is flushing beneath Jimin's mischievous gaze or why he's suddenly nervous of what Jimin's about to say.

He knows he is done for when the room explodes into chaos, Yoongi even sat up, with Jimin's next words.

"Jungkookie has a crush!"
