Six

Jimin was relaxing under the umbrella close to his swimming pool slowly sipping his wine. He wanted to get a mild tan.

His Butler suddenly appeared beside him and gave him his phone.

"Young master, a call for you," He said.

Jimin lightly frowned as he wondered who would be calling him at this time.

"Who is it?"

The Butler sighed. "It's your father young master"

Jimin took the phone, already dreading the conversation he was about to have with the old man.

He heard his father's voice first.

"Jimin, how are you doing?"

"I'm fine father and mother?"

"She's doing good"

His father cleared his throat "Jimin, something has come up suddenly"

Jimin was curious "What could it be?"

"We are getting a new delivery on some new silver wares from Jeju island but we are a bit tied up with work here in Hong Kong"

Jimin groaned. This was the first time in a long time he was resting. He had had a lot on his plate this past week and decided to have the weekend off but now, his parents had to do this to him. He hated unplanned events. They made him feel irritated.

"Jimin ah, are you still there?" His father said after a while.

Jimin sighed. "Yes, I'm here...Alright Dad, I'll be there. When do you want me to leave?"

"Tomorrow morning!"

"Tomorrow morning?" Jimin gasped. "But it's too soon. I don't have time to prepare. I don't even know how long this shipment will take"

"You'll be fine Jimin, I trust you"

Jimin was quite shocked by that statement. This was so unlike his father. Come to think of it, his father never called him on any business deals. He never called. He only texted which made this conversation all the odder. Something was fishy.

"Appa, are you okay?"

"Yes son, I'm fine, why do you ask?"

Jimin shrugged. "Well because you are doing things you never did before. Calling and saying things like you trust me...."

There was an uncomfortable silence before his father's voice came up. "Is it wrong for me to call my only son? I just wanted to hear your voice, that's all"

Jimin was confused. "Right...."

"And son, make sure you use the ship. I have already taken care of all the arrangements"

"Ship? But I could use a flight. It's much easier and faster"

He heard a sigh. "Just do what I say"

"I see... " Jimin only said before deciding to end the weird call. "Alright Appa, I'll call you tomorrow"

"Bye son"

"Bye... " Jimin stressed it quite oddly. The call ended and he was uneasy. He called his father's line again but it wasn't going through.

He returned the phone to his butler and he took it away. Jimin couldn't quite place his finger but something was wrong somewhere.

Meanwhile, Kim Taehyung sighed for the hundredth time that morning. He stared at his phone, his finger lingering around the call button. He had gone crazy. He was totally mad but he couldn't show this side to his friends. They would laugh at him for loving his worst enemy Jimin. He was confused himself as to how it began but one thing was for certain. He wanted to see him, he wanted to listen to his voice. He wanted to hold his unbelievably small hands in his and take long walks. He wanted to kiss him again and again. He wanted to make him his. He wanted all of him. He wanted Park Jimin.

He knew this was outrage. Complete madness but every fiber of his being wanted to run out of this house, climb into his car, and head towards Jimin. He didn't care what anyone would think. He didn't even care if Jimin hits him again. He just wanted to see him. He needed to see him but right now, he couldn't do that. He looked around him. His friends sat on the long couch bottles of beers and wine around them as they all lounged lazily on in the sitting room.

"I'm bored! Isn't there something exciting we can do?" Namjoon said.

"How about calling some girls?" Yoongi said and the two other boys shook their heads.

"No girls, I just want some drama," Namjoon said. He looked at Taehyung and noticed the far-away expression on his face.

"Hey Tae, are you alright?"

No response, no movement at all from the younger ones. He just kept staring into space.

"Hey, Taehyung!" Namjoon yelled in a loud voice and Taehyung shook.

"Yah!" he shouted.

Namjoon eyed him "What's gotten into you lately. You've not been yourself. You've been sighing all morning. It's kinda irritating"

"I'm sorry, I just feel a little stressed" Taehyung responded.

"Stressed?" Yoongi said narrowing his eyes at Taehyung. "Or is it because of Jimin? Ever since that night, I can't help but notice you've been acting strange"

Silence! Point blank silence. They both looked at him curiously.

"Why are you suddenly bringing his name up? This has nothing to do with him" He yelled and Taehyung left immediately hoping his blushing cheeks wouldn't be noticeable but his hyungs were still looking at him with suspicion before Yoongi played some music and they started bopping their heads to it momentarily forgetting him.

Taehyung headed to the balcony to enjoy some fresh air when his phone rang. He picked up.

"Hello!"

"Taehyung?"

"Sir!" He said recognizing his father's voice.

"I need you on an assignment as quickly as possible"

"What do you need from me, sir?"

There was silence.

"Sir, are you there?"

"Yes, Taehyung. I need you to travel somewhere tomorrow"

"Where?"

"To Jeju island to retrieve a silverware. The goods are rare but the Parks already sent their son Jimin to purchase them"

"Jimin?" He whispered getting flushed.

"Yes. We must get those silver wares before the Parks"

"Okay, sir. I'll take the first flight to Japan"

"No" His father yelled causing Taehyung to flinch. "I have arranged for a ship to get you to Jeju"

"A ship?" Taehyung said feeling stunned. He couldn't understand what his father was up to.

"Yes Taehyung so don't worry and just prepare yourself"

His father didn't sound the same. He sounded different. He wanted to say it out but he had been taught better than to talk back.

"Yes sir, I'll do as you say"

He was about to end the call when he heard something he couldn't believe.

"I'm proud of you son"

The call ended.

Proud? Kim Taejun? Proud of him? He didn't hear well. Ever since he was a little boy, that's the only thing he ever wanted to hear from his father. That he was proud of him. A bright smile lit up his face especially when he remembered Jimin. He could get to see him again.

He quickly ran back to the living room only to find the boys snoring. These were rich heirs and yet they looked like bums.

" Guys!" He shouted and they roused from sleep staring at him.

"Pack your bags, Tomorrow we are leaving for Jeju island"

Life returned to their faces as they bounced from the couch. They didn't care where they were going as long as there was a new adventure on the corner. They were tired of the endless repetitions. The girls, partying, drinking.

"But this is strictly business and we are leaving by ship tomorrow " Taehyung added but they just shrugged.

"Who cares as long as we'll have something to do. Business is a bit boring these days and my parents are handling everything" Namjoon said

"Same here" Yoongi added

Taehyung slowly nodded but he didn't tell them about Jimin. How could he? He would keep things to himself for now.

Meanwhile, on the South side of town, Jimin texted his friends.

Jimin
So, can you guys accompany
me to Jeju?

Hoseok
I don't know, I have a packed schedule.

Jin
I'm free though. I'll
follow you. No worries.

Jimin
Hoseok Hyung, I
hear Jeju guys are kinda attractive
Hoseok
I'm packing right now!

Jin

Hobi, you're such a diva!

Jimin was happy he won't have to go to Jeju island alone. However, unknown to them, an angel sat in front of a window, a cell phone dangling between his hands while still wearing a satisfied smile on his face because he knew from that moment, that both Kim Taehyung and Park Jimin's lives will change forever and there is nothing they can do about it.

Continued in the next chapter. Bye, everyone.
