Jimin hurried to get your coat for you as you stood up from the couch, having eaten your breakfast and decided to go to work despite his many attempts to skip it today and just rest.

Yesterday you had reached home quite late and you had been thankfully tired enough to fall asleep after he had tried his best to make you feel comfortable and safe. He had stayed all night seated on the floor by the bedside, holding your pinky as he didn't want to step on any bad memories the occurrence with Luke could have possibly hurt you but he didn't know how else to reassure you that he was there, and as such he had ended up hanging on your pinky and caressing it lightly randomly through the night, whenever he himself would snap out of his half asleep state.

Your situation was edgy even after reaching home after all and a sense of anxiety had overwhelmed you, making you almost appear paranoid to him, asking him to check if the door was locked and if the windows were locked, so many times that he had lost count. 

You had briefly told him by yourself what had gone down, even though he hadn't dared to ask you, afraid of triggering anything you didn't want to recall. And it would be a lie, to say the least, if Jimin hadn't been extremely mad at that guy who had such audacity to try to harm her, but he knew Jungkook would resolve the issue once and for all and he had done his best to reassure you of that. He had to promise to be there with you and stay awake, just so you could finally close your eyes and allow your exhaustion to take over.

The night sure was rough for him but he certainly knew it had been worse for you and all he did all night while watching you, was feeling bad, for all that you had to go through. He still was not aware of what the reason for your issue with physical touch was but he had assumed that guy to be the cause, and now that he knows the human behind it, he had felt sick to his stomach but also guilty towards you. You had such a man around you yet you had said nothing to anyone. Your literally worse nightmare had found you and you had tried to deal with it on your own. The more he had stayed in silence at night, the more in his mind he had started connecting the dots. That time he returned and found you at the airport in a bad state and you didn't talk to him about it, that night you came running to him in panic when Jungkook had still amnesia and you were in such a state that he had never seen you before. Jimin had come to understand now, why that mental breakdown of yours was so reasonable. But as he did so, he couldn't help but calculate the time and thus that only made him feel worse. 

You had been going through all that yet you had his issues on your head, Seon's issues and a Jungkook with amnesia. Jimin really couldn't understand how did you even manage to not blow up at every single one of them yet. Only thinking about it, made him find a new respect and love for who you were as a friend and a human.

"You know, you make me feel as if you are a maid or something? Stop treating me so well." You joked with him as he carefully reached out your coat to you, making sure he wouldn't touch you by mistake in the process.

"I am paying up for all the times you bared with me and treated me well." He replied with a smile, feeling really relieved that from the moment you woke up this morning, you didn't seem to be as mentally on edge as yesterday.

"You will grow grey hair till you pay up for those. " You retorted as he grabbed his car keys, for you had asked him to take you to work.

Staying in was something that could make you feel safer, but it would also give your mind a lot of space to think and you didn't want to think about anything that had happened or the things Luke had said. And work was the best place to completely occupy your mind, but going there alone was still something you wouldn't like to do. 

"It's fine, it's not like you will go anywhere. We will grow old together. Old and single " Jimin laughed at his joke and you smiled, slightly awkwardly at that, as you weren't sure if that would really be your case after Jungkook's confession.

"What? What's this reaction? Did something happen that I don't know about?" Jimin caught up on your unnatural reaction as he took some steps closer, only to halt before you, in order to let his gaze meet yours.

"Well...Your brother kinda...said he is in love with me." You spoke the truth reluctantly and witnessed his eyes growing wide briefly only for him to jump on his place with a huge smile right after.

"I knew it! Ah, my words really triggered him! Oh my, Jungkook really likes you~" He chirmed enthusiastically while you just stood there, not matching his vibe at all, thing that made him stop and collect his happiness.

"Why aren't you happy? I thought you had feelings for him too?"

"I do. And I definitely wasn't expecting him to have feelings for me...I am not doubting him on that, I know he wouldn't lie about such a thing, it's just...he is still married you know." You reminded him of the fact and his face kinda fell, for the person, Jungkook was married to was also his heartache.

"Do you...think Seon would want to get back with him?" He questioned and you instantly moved your head in a negative way for you were certain that such was not the case. She had even made a whole book to reach her feelings out for Jimin-

"Oh my! The manuscript! I totally forgot." You snapped as soon as you recalled it and rushed to your bag, with Jimin's gaze following you in utter confusion until you pulled out of your bag, a paper bag that was wrinkled now but contained the manuscript still in good condition.

"Seon entrusted me with this manuscript. It's her new book that will be out in a month or so. She asked me to give it to you." You explained to him as you handed it over and he looked at it once before looking at you again.

"It's been hard for her to talk to you and this is her attempt of reaching out. Please make sure you read it and...do as you feel after reading it." You added and Jimin looked at it once more, feeling his heartbeat raise over the fact that finally, she had made a move towards him. He still didn't know what it contained but just holding it and knowing that she made it for him, had him smiling like an idiot.

"Thank you, once I get back from driving you I will read it. I give you my word." He replied then placed it aside and together you walked towards the door, him making sure to be the first to step out and look around, just to show that it was safe, and to make sure you wouldn't have the need to hesitate to walk out.

---Time skip---

You rubbed your temple, in utter irritation and annoyance as from the moment that Jimin had dropped you off, wherever you had passed by, all male workers would stand at least two feet away from you and everyone was looking at you weirdly.

In the beginning, you had no idea why, nor you had noticed it much until it started being too obvious. Even Shin was keeping a distance and was being off when he usually bosses you around as your supervisor. You had ignored it for a while but it started bothering you so you had straight up asked Shin to explain to you and he had reluctantly and in a whisper, let you know that Jungkook had given direct strict orders this morning for all men in the company to not dare come close to you, or they will get their asses fired. 

The fact that Jungkook had done that without giving a single explanation to anyone was not a surprise cause as the boss he never does but the fact that he had gone that far, had actually ticked you off you found it unnecessary and embarrassing. Later on the day, you had started to not feel that mad about that for it had grown to be quite convenient and you were feeling more comfortable because of that, however, he had done another absurd thing that had started playing with your nerves to the point that you were ready to snap at him.

Every thirty minutes, he would come to visit. Say nothing but just pace once around the room along with his secretary that usually tails him and then leaves. He didn't talk nor say anything but every time he got in, everyone grew tense and it started disturbing the workflow and getting on your nerves.

"God give me the patience." You mumbled under your breath just as you cracked your neck a bit tiringly and tried to concentrate once again on your writing, thing that unfortunately had been disturbed so much that you felt like throwing away the whole laptop.

Your fingers started typing on the keyword again, adding finally one new sentence only for it to be cut off as again Jungkook visited the office, making everyone stand up and you lower your head and murmur some curse worse under gritted teeth.

His secretary signalled them to go on with their work again and they all sat back down, only you now standing up and staring right at him with a clear expression of irritation.

You signalled Jungkook to come over with your hand before you crossed your arms over your chest and his eyes grew wide at your gesture before he rushed to you and leaned closer in confidentially before asking you in a low voice that none else hears. " Is something wrong? Did anyone bother you?"

He questioned and you unfolded your arms, unable to keep yourself from pointing at him while you leaned closer to him, glaring. "Yes! You are!" 

You left those words to escape with difficulty between your gritted teeth and he leaned back with confusion all over himself as his own index finger showed at himself and repeated. "Me?"

"Why? What did I do?"

"You are being too much Jungkook. Like I understand you are trying to make sure nothing triggers me but this is too much. I am fine. I will be fine. You doing all this is making it hard for me." You explained only to witness his face that fell to a sad expression that instantly made you feel bad.

"Oh...I am sorry...I will stop...I will be at my office if you need me." He apologised yet his sad eyes and the way he diverted them to the floor before actually leaving, had your shoulders plop in slight guilt for you were being that he was doing all this out of care and you were appreciating it at all.

You rushed after him as soon as he passed the main door, thinking that at least you should reassure him that you weren't mad at him nor you were being ungrateful. Most likely he too was just being on edge like you were and thus taking over the top measurements.

"Jungkook wait." You called out to him once in the hall and he turned around instantly, his eyebrows raised as you speed your steps towards him.

"Look I know you have good intentions...it's just that I came here in tried to forget and all this is just reminding me of danger even more...I didn't mean to discard your attempts to help, I just-"

"No, it's fine. You are right. I just didn't want you to be uncomfortable and I ordered everyone to be at a safe distance from you. I was worried-" He interrupted you first then you interrupted his sentence for the things he was saying, weren't things you hadn't guessed.

"That's not the most nerve-wracking one! I can't write if you enter the room and disturb the place every thirty minutes! Do you know how hard it is to catch the feel and concentrate again? You are making it so difficult for me to finish a simple article!" You uttered, irritation dripping from your lips and he just left his eyes to grow wide as if his mind had not even thought about that being an issue.

"I am just fine. I really am. You don't need to pass by that often, okay?" You added and suddenly he smiled and looked away in an attempt to hide it.

You raised an eyebrow at him as to what was funny then once he returned his eyes to you, Jungkook calmly took a step closer to you and leaned to the side of your face by your ear, making you freeze in place.

"I wasn't passing by to check on you, I was passing by so I can check you." He uttered and you couldn't help but turned your head to face him, confusion all over your face.

"I just wanted to see you, you idiot." He made his words clearer then he just planted a quick peck on your forehead and turned around and started walking away, leaving you shocked in place before you panicked to look around, worried if anyone had seen that, besides his secretary that was following him, looking back at you with wide eyes and as shocked as you were, while Jungkook was smiling to himself, satisfied with his actions.

You can take your time to choose Y/N but I can't let your choice hang on only to fate. You are too important for me to gamble with you like that so with every chance I get, I will make sure I show you why I am worth a chance. I will court you with all I got.
