SIX

Thankfully I was able to convince Jin to just buy what I need when I need it. And not go overboard. I was also able to pay for about half of what I bought with my own money, despite his arguments against it.

I also bought Jimin a sweatshirt that I knew he would like, explaining to Jin that if Jimin bought it and not me, it wasn't a gift.

By the time we got back to the penthouse, we could hear the hustle and bustle of the rest of them in the kitchen.

"Noona?" I heard.

I looked up and it was Taehyung smiling at me. "Hey Tae!"

"I have a plate made up for you, do you want some help taking those bags to your room?"

"Sure!"

He walked over and took all of the bags, even though I protested, and I walked with him to my designated room. When he turned he gave me a winning smile.

"You look so pretty!" He said. "I love dresses on women. As misogynistic as that sounds, but its true."

"Not misogynistic!" I said giving him a hug. "Just a compliment on your taste in women."

He laughed and hugged me back before pulling me back out into the kitchen where everyone else was. I sat next to Jin and Jimin, across from Hoseok while we all ate. They had different conversations going on at once, and I bounce between them a bit trying to learn more about them. Yoongi and Jimin had a lot of success in the recordings that they did, and both were excited for the next album. It would be out for quite a while since they are promoting the one that just came out, but excited nonetheless.

Namjoon and Hoseok were able to get some new lyrics solidified as well, and seemed to be very hyped about it. Jungkook and Tae were also talking about their new project, even talking about a duet since Jimin and Hoseok were doing one.

It was a little overwhelming to be involved in the conversation between them all. They were very encouraging men, and it broke my heart knowing that this was the first time he had supportive men in his life.

Jin nudged me a little, and I forced a smile, which he seemed to believe. I was about to excuse myself when Namjoon asked me a question.

"So how was your day with Jin?" He smiled with dimples so deep I wanted to put my finger in them.

"Really good!" I replied with a genuine smile this time. "I don't have a lot of clothes with me so it was nice to get a few things."

"Did you get more dresses?" Tae asked.

He made me laugh with his eager expression. "I did." I told him. "But I got a lot of other stuff too. Some distressed jeans, a few pairs of shorts, tops to go with them. It's hot here so I needed appropriate things."

Just then Jimin's phone ran, and he excused himself answering the call with a smile.

"You'll have to come into one of our studios to get a sneak peek at some of the upcoming album. Jimin has a solo." Yoongi said.

"He didn't tell me that!" I said with excitement.

Yoongi's eyes went wide and Tae gave him a dirty look. "It was supposed to be a surprise."

"Don't tell him I told you." Yoongi said, looking nervous. "He's scary when he's angry."

I laughed. "I'll keep it to myself."

"Are you scary when you're angry?" Hoseok asked. This was the first time he directed a question right to me.

"Where do you think Jiminie gets it from?" I smiled making Namjoon and Jin laugh. "We parks are so very sweet until you piss us off."

"Sweet huh?" He asked, with a smirk.

Some of the other's around the table were a little shocked at his bold remark, but Jimin had returned to the table before I could respond.

"Who was that?" Tae asked him.

I looked over to Jimin who looked a little frustrated. "Taemin." He sighed.

"Oh." Tae deadpanned, closing his eyes and taking a bit of a breath. "What did he need?"

"He asked me to help him with a performance this weekend. His partner bailed on him and the routine requires two men." He said chewing on his lips.

I saw Tae's jaw clench before he cleared his throat. "Are you going to go?"

"Well I told him that Noona was in town and that it would be her first weekend here. He sounded desperate so I told him to let me think about it."

"Jimin, I'm going to be here for two months" I laughed. "And, I'm not sure if you know this yet, but I'll be going with you on tour too."

His eyes went wide, and a smile spread across his face. "You are?!"

I nodded looking over to a smiling Jin. "You can thank your manager for that!"

There was a low murmur of happy words, but I turned to Tae who was staring straight at his food in front of him. He closed his eyes and asked. "So does that mean you are going?"

"Noona, are you sure you wont mind? I would leave Thursday and not come back until Monday."

"Do you even have permission yet?" Tae snapped.

Jimin's eyes went soft and he nodded. "And so do you."

"Me?"

"Yes. Taemin invited you to come too."

"He did?"

"Yes." Jimin smiled. "How many times do I have to assure you that Taemin isn't trying to steal me away from you."

Oh. So that's why Tae was acting weird.

Taehyung didn't say anything just took a few more bites of his food.

"Well, who is going to be here this weekend then? Because I had plans to go back and visit my sister." Namjoon said.

"I'll be here." Yoongi said.

"I'm actually probably going to go with you Jimin." Jin said. "Especially if Tae is going too."

"I was going to visit my parents." Jungkook said with a mouthful of food.

"I'll be here." Hoseok smiled.

Jimin turned to him. "I thought you were going to go visit your sister this weekend?"

"She called last night and reschedule for after our tour. She and her girlfriend and taking a long vacation." He replied.

"Oh. Well, at least you wont be alone Noona." Jimin smiled. "That makes me feel better."

He started to scarf down his food that he had barely touched and when I took a drink of my water, I happened to glance up to see Hoseok smirking at me.

The rest of dinner was filled with pleasant conversation and laughter. Once we were all done, I helped clean up despite Jimin's protests, afterwards going back to my bedroom to grab the sweatshirt I had bought for Jimin.

I knocked on Jimin and Hoseoks door to see Jimin going through his closet. "What are you looking for?"

"Just something comfy." He replied. Then laughed when he saw I was holding something behind my back. "What you got there?"

"Surprise!" I said handing him the bright purple sweatshirt. It had white letters across the front and down the sleeves and was just a size too big for him.

"I love it!" he said, pulling it over his tank top. "Thank you."

He then hugged me and spun me in his arms. "Jimin!"

When he put me down I turned to see that Hoseok was sitting on his bed watching our exchange.

"Smart to wear spanks under your dress." He grinned, making me actually blush a little.

"I guess so." I replied looking over at a smirking Jimin.

"Sorry." He said. He took me by the hand pulling me out of the room and back to my own. We sat on my bed across from each other with out legs crossed. "Are you sure you're okay with me going away this weekend. I'll be gone for five days."

"Jimin, I am going to be here for a while. And I may even be here after your tour as well, I don't know yet. But you need to go on with your day to day like normal and not make too many adjustments for me."

"If you're sure." He smiled.

"What I do want to know is why Taehyung reacted the way he did. Who is Taemin?"

Jimin sighed. "Taemin is a little older than me, but we were trainees together. When we were picked for different groups we didn't talk much. He was my first kiss."

"JIMINIE!" I scolded. "Did you have something with him?"

"No!" He defended. "I just never kissed a boy before and he had. He knew who he was and just offered to give me a little experience. I wasn't sure if I liked girls, boys, both. I also kissed a girl named Rose and as beautiful as she was I just didn't get butterflies like I did when kissing Taemin. But that's all that happened. When I met Tae, when I kissed him for the first time..." he closed his eyes and leaned back a smile so bright coming across his lips. I noticed that Taehyung was by the door listening, making me smile too. "...it was sparks, fireworks. Like the Katy Perry song." He laughed, looking back at me.

"Do you love Tae?" I asked.

"I think so."

I noticed Tae place his hand over his mouth in the corner of my eye but didn't want to give much attention to it. I didn't want Jimin to notice he was there.

"Well so why is Tae so worried about Taemin then?"

"I just think that maybe he feels as if someone else could make me happier. He knows that nothing real was ever between the two of us, but its normal to feel jealous. Taemin also really likes Taehyung and is one a very few people that know we are together outside the people of this house. So that's why he invited him. I just wish Tae would trust me."

"Maybe he trusts you, just worries that such a cute little mochi could be taken from his grasp." I teased.

He raised a brow at me, smirking. "You know, you are the only one that things im a cute mochi. There are millions of people who think I'm seductive and sexy."

"Gross." I replied scrunching up my nose.

He laughed. "It's true. And Taehyung has seen that more demanding side of me quite often."

"Well maybe you should go show him that side and let me think of you as my cute adorable innocent brother."

"Noona...I'm not innocent." He grinned.

"LET ME LIVE IN A WORLD WHERE YOU ARE!" I yelled, lunging at him and tackling him back in the bed. We both laughed and he wrapped his arms around me. When I looked up Taehyung was no longer at the door making me grin. I gave Jimin kisses all across his face, making him laugh even harder.

By the time I was done, I rested my head against his shoulder, and one of his hands tangled in my hair to scratch at my head. I loved when he did this.

"I'm so glad you are here." He whispered.

"Me too." I replied.

After another hour of catching up, I kicked Jimin out of the room so I could go to sleep. I was literally exhausted and just wanted to rest my eyes.

"Well I am going to have to pack tomorrow. I talked with Jin and my schedule tomorrow is open since I'll be leaving the day after."

"That was nice of him. We can just hang out like old times."

"I actually scheduled us to get a bit of a spa day." He smiled. "Jin helped. But that means Jin is joining. Yoongi is going to be locked away in his studio working and the rest of them are going to leave a day early. Tae is going to be practicing with Hoseok."

"Oh spa day sounds nice." I smiled.

And it was. After the next morning helping Jimin pack for the weekend, we were dropped off at a beautiful facility.

"They have a very elite clientele." Jin told me as I looked around in wonderment.

We received an hour and half full body massage that literally made me feel like jelly by the time it was done. I was so relaxed I didn't want to move. But then we got pedicures, manicures, facials, as well as a bikini wax.

"That was the most painful thing I think I have ever experienced in my life." I said as I had finally gotten dressed and walked out into the lobby.

"What did they wax?" Jimin asked, Jin snickering behind him.

"Everything." I replied. "My legs, under my arm, my...area." I said pointing to my pelvis. "I'm in pain."

"I have aloe for you." JIn laughed. "They said to apply it for the next two days and all will be well."

"This was all your doing." I blamed Jin as we walked out to the car.

"But it was great, wasn't it?" He asked, making me laugh.

It really was. Once we were back, Jimin and I watched a movie on the couch until we both fell asleep. Taehyung woke us up, and escorted a sleepy Jimin to his bedroom, and Hoseok waited in the living room until I was fully awake.

"What time is it?"

"Almost 1."

"Fuck." I grumbled.

"Come on sleepy head. Let's get you to bed."

I nodded and let him steady me before I dragged my heavy feet to the bedroom. Without thinking about it, I pulled my bra off from under my tank top and pushed my shorts down, crawling into the bed.

Once I was under the covers, I heard Hoseok wish me a goodnight and shut off the light, and then the door.

It never dawned on me that maybe, just maybe, he saw more than I expected him to see in my sleepy state.
