Twenty Nine

JIMIN POV

It had been 5 months since I got injured and I was starting to feel back to myself again. My leg was stronger and I was able to talk on it with out crutches or a cast. I was hoping to jump into the choreo early, but no one thought that was a good idea.

"Absolutely not Jimin. You have 4 more weeks of physical therapy before we can even evaluate if you are good to come back full strength." Jin said as we sat in the conference room with everyone.

"Can I at least start to go to practice an learn the moves? I will take in slow and do 10% just to learn. I wont do the jumps or spins, or anything like that."

"Listen man, I know how badly you want to get back into it. It' been a long time and its hard to not being doing what we do." Hoseok said. "Trust me, before joined UNITE and I tore my ACL and thought I'd never dance again. So I know a bit of what you're going through now and I am so glad that I disciplined myself enough time to heal properly because I don't have issues anymore."

"Plus babe, you only have a few weeks left. You've gotten this far, you can make it a few other weeks." Tae said as he wrapped an arm around me and laid his head on my arm.

"As much as I hate it you all are right." I sighed.

"You'll be alright Jimin." Yoongi said making me nod. "In fact I have a surprise for you."

"Oh?" I asked, Tae lifting his head in curiosity as well.

"I have been working on a solo song for you. You know how much I love your voice, and with everything you have been through I thought you could use a fun song to get you back into the groove. It's not 100% done yet, but we can meet up tomorrow or this weekend to go over it together."

"Thank you!" I smiled, excited for a solo song. Through my physical therapy I have not been able to bring myself to write much and I was worried I wouldn't contribute much to the new album. "Will it be on the new album?"

"If you like it and everyone agrees to it that was the plan."

I danced in my seat a bit, happy that I was going to be able to have a solo song and performance.

"I also have a surprise." Jin said. "Well rather and update for Noona."

"What is it?" I asked, now worried.

"So the board decided months ago that Noona was not the cause for your injury, but they were still torn on whether or not she could come on tour. They made the decision that she can join the tour under one condition."

"What condition?" Tae asked.

"She has to be employed by the company. So since she has legal experience they are going to make her a part time offer to help me with legal dealings and contracts. With her knowledge and experience they think she would be a good asset to the team, and this way she will have no reason to not be able to be where you are."

I saw Hoseok smile wide mimicking my own glee. I saw Jungkook pull out his phone and pointed my finger at him and with all the seriousness I could gather I made one thing very clear.

"DON'T YOU DARE!"

"I want to tell her!" He protested.

"I get to tell her. Its good news and I should be the one to tell her. I am going to see her this weekend anyway so don't you dare say anything."

"Why don't we celebrate!" Tae suggested. "We have tomorrow off and this meeting is the last thing on our schedule for the day, so lets do something together."

"Actually, Yoongi and I are going to work on some of the album stuff. I've been a little lazy on a few songs I'm working on so I'm basically going to go into the studio and burry myself in there for the night."

"Well lets do it this weekend. I can invite Noona and tell her about everything."

"So tomorrow night do you want to meet to hear the song?" Yoongi asked me.

"Yes tomorrow night works."

We started to leave one by one and it helped so much that Noona was going to be allowed to come on tours. And even be offered a job. It took a lot of pressure off of me for some reason, and I felt a real feeling of relief.

I felt arms wrap around me and a kiss placed on my cheek. "I love you."

"I love you too Tae." I said.

"I know these last few months have been hard but I'm really proud of you and the good decisions you are making."

"I feel good." I told him turning to give him a hug. I noticed him give me more of his weight than he usually does, which means he's tired. "Lets get home, okay?"

He nodded and we called the driver to take us to the dorm.

Once we were home, we made our way over to his room and curled up in bed together. Jungkook frequently styed with Namjoon and staying with Tae gave Hoseok some privacy every now and again.

We were laying there trying to sleep and when I looked at the clock it was only 8pm. I was not tired at all but Tae was knocked out. He had been up early training with Hoseok and Jungkook that day.

I kept thinking about how much the decision to hire Noona in our legal department was going to change not ony her life, but mine. She would be here. Always. I'd have my family again and she and I could have the relationship I always wanted.

She could date, she could have a real life and not have to hide from our father or anyone.

Laying there thinking about this only made me anxious. I had to tell her. I grabbed my phone and drafted a text but I realized I wanted to be there to tell her myself. I wanted to hug her and be there to celebrate.

But I didn't want to wait until the weekend either.

I ended up texting my driver. I tucked Tae into the warm blanket his sister made, and then ran to my room to change. I put on a large hoodie and some jeans, grabbing a mask and my wallet. Just then I heard a knock at the door and it was my bodyguard escorting me to my car.

The entire ride to Noona's I was so excited. I knew she would be happy. Despite my insistence, she wanted to be financially independent and I know that our executives would pay her more than fairly.

When I got to the door I plugged the code she gave me into the door. When it opened, I stepped in and my excitement left my body when I saw her on the couch, hair messy and on top of someone.

It took all of 2 seconds for me to realize who it was sitting below her.

NOONA POV

When I looked up and saw Jimin's shocked eyes I screamed and grabbed the blanket that was sitting next to us.

"JIMIN!" I screamed, making Hoseok's eyes nearly pop out of his head. "What are you doing here?!" I pulled the blanket to cover my exposed body and Hoseok fell to the floor with a loud thud.

"Aw fuck!" he grunted, holding his shin in his hands.

I looked back up to Jimin who took off his face mask and stood there with the door open. Hie eye brows came together first in confusion and then in anger.

"Jimin!" I angerly called to him again.

"Is that Hobi?"

As he asked, Hoseok was frantically trying to find his boxers and found them on the other side of the coffee table. He pulled the on and I stood there shocked that Jimin was here.

"Why are you here Jimin?"

"I wanted to tell you something. Hobi?"

Hoseok let out a sigh before standing on his feet and facing Jimin.

"What the fuck is going on?" He demanded through an angry voice. "Why are you half naked in my Noona's house."

"She's my girlfriend." Hoseok replied.

Suddenly, Jimin started laughing. Creepily. Hysterically. He closed the door behind him taking off his shoes.

"Jimin!" I yelled making him stop laughing. "You cant just show up to my house unannounced like this. You cant just walk in as you please!"

At this point, I wasn't sure if I was mad about what I was saying, or mad that he walked in and ruined my night with Hoseok. I really didn't know.

He stood there staring at us, and it seemed as if the shock of what he walked in on was wearing off. I couldn't even try to put my clothes on because he was so close. I adjusted myself so that my boobs were covered, but that was pretty much it. I was naked under this blanket with my brother staring at me.

He looked back and forth between me and Hoseok and we all stood there in a numbing silence before Jimin spoke again.

"Girlfriend?" He asked, more silence following. "What the hell do you mean, girlfriend."

"I mean that I'm dating your sister. This isn't just sex, I'm not using her. We are in a real relationship." He reached down and grabbed his shirt wrapping it around my shoulders so that I could drop the blanket. It covered down my thigh and allowed me to run to my room to change.

"I'll be right back."

I didn't hear a thing as I grabbed a dress and threw it over my head, and ran a pair of panties up my leg. I grabbed a sweatshirt and brought it out for Hoseok as I saw him sitting on the chair in the corner as Jimin was still standing staring at him with deeply angry eyes.

I passed him the sweatshirt noticing he had put his pants back on before I grabbed the dress and panties that were on the floor and balled them at the end of the couch.

This silence wasn't good, and he has no right to barge into my house the way that he did so I want going to let this immaturity slide.

"Jimin, you have no right to come over unnanoucned like this. This is my home. My private place, and you are welcome, but you can not come and go as you please."

"Why because you didn't want me to know about this?"

"As a matter of fact I didn't. Because you have not been supportive so far of me making my own decisions and decidion who I can be with so why would I share something so good with you?"

I knew my words were harsh, but sometimes with Jimin, you have to be harsh. You can sugarcoat things for him if you really want your point across and it seemed as if this was one of those topics.

"I was looking forward to telling you." I continued, making him look from Hoseok to me. "I wanted to tell my brother that I found love."

"Love?"

"Love." I repeated. "I thought that in all the years I supported you, that you would support me here. That you would see how good of a person Hoseok is and that he deserves someone who understands his lifestyle and understands all those things you tried keeping me from. I love him Jimin."

"And I love her." Hoseok said form the chair. "I really do. She's....just everything to me."

"Everything to you? Everything? You have family Hoseok. You have people in your life that have been there for you and loved you unconditionally. Noona is all I have ever had!"

"Then don't you want her to have that unconditional love?" He asked him standing. "I love her. Jimin you know me, you know I would never hurt her."

"I thought I knew you. I thought you would be the one person I didn't have to worry about."

"This is ridiculous." I said Hoseok sitting down. "Jimin listen to me right now." I said, trying to keep my anger at bay. "If you insist on making this difficult. If you insist that you cant accept that maybe I am perfectly prepared an ready to take on a difficult relationship to an idol then I obviously cant change your mind. And I'm tired of trying. I'll leave."

Making both him and Hoseok really paying attention to my words.

"What do you mean leave?" Hoseok asked me.

"I mean I will not stay here. I will not plant my roots here like I planned to. I will leave because I refuse to walk on eggshells and hide my relationship from the one person I wanted to share it with the most. I wont do it."

"You cant be serious." Hoseok said walking over to me and grabbing my face. "You cant leave."

"I cant do this anymore Hoseok. I thought that he'd be happy for us, I thought if he saw how much I love you that he would embrace us. But he wont. He cant see through his own stubbornness."

"Can you stop talking about me as if I'm not here. I'm right here. Talk to me."

"I am talking to you." I shouted, pulling my face away from Hoseok. I didn't even realize I was crying until I felt a tear fall on my hand. I wiped the tears from my cheek and looked Jimin straight on. "You are doing to me what our father did to me. You are forcing me to do what you want me to do and not what I want to do. You're not like that, why are you acting this way."

There was another long pause and Hoseok went to speak but I held my hand up to him to stop him. Yes, Hoseok was involved here but right now this was between Jimin and I.

"Why don't you want me to be happy?"

"I do!" He defended stepping closer but his eyes fliting to Hoseok. When he looked back at me he stuttered slightly. "I just...I do want you to be happy."

"Then why cant I be happy this way?"

"How do you know you can be happy hiding your relationship?" Then he turned to Hoseok. "You are risking our group, all of our hard work and energy on a girl?"

"You do it with Taehyung every day. As does Jungkook with Namjoon. What is so different about this?"

He must have felt stumped because he didn't reply. Instead he hung his head and started to cry. It broke my heart to see him like that, and over something that I did.

He then walked around and sat on the opposite side of the sectional couch looking up at me.

"You love him?"

"Jimin I do." I said walking over to him.

"I just don't want you to regret this. I don't want you to waste time if it doesn't work out. I don't...I want you to be happy but...what if."

"I cant live on 'what if's' Jimin. I have been living for other people my whole life, I need to live for myself now. And I think it's going to be hard, and some days will be harder than others. But I think I can handle this relationship. I know what I'm getting myself into. I know there are things I don't know yet or are not anticipating, but that's just life."

He looked over to Hoseok and then back at me. "I'll have my driver pick me up."

"Jimin you don't have to go." Hoseok said. "I think we need to talk this out. Now."

"Can I at least ask questions?"

Both Hoseok and I nodded. Letting him breath and gather himself before he turned to me.

"How long as this been going on?"

"Since the weekend you spent with Taemin."

"WHAT?!" He shouted looking over to Hoseok.

"She came on to me." He said, making me laugh and the tension lessen slightly.

"Did you just...like...."

"It started out physical." I said to him. "But over time, he became my best friend and someone I cared a lot for."

"She became my motivation. I have a song about her even."

That made me look over to him. "You do?"

"It's a secret." He smiled.

"So...is he why you are staying?"

"No, you are." I said. "Hoseok is just a bonus."

"Does anyone else know?"

"If I answer that you cant be mad at them." He nodded and I let out a sigh. "Yoongi caught us once, and eventually Jin figured it out. And it was really nice for someone I was close with to know and talk about it with."

"What did you tell Jin?" Hoseok asked.

"Not important." I replied.

"So no one else knows?"

"I think the rest of the guys started to suspect something was going on a while ago...but Wonho is the only other one that knows. He caught on almost immediately."

"And....this is...for the long haul?"

"Yes." We both said together.

"Jimin I know what I'm asking from her, and I have struggled with it. But if I can make her happy...that's the greatest feeling in the world."

Jimin nodded and pulled out his phone sending a text. "I'm still going to have them pick me up, I don't want to be here while you're....together."

"Jimin please don't be like this." I begged, starting to tear up.

"No I mean...in the throws of passion."

"OH....well we are done." I said, making him squish up a face at me. "I'm sorry, I just mean, I have leftovers from dinner. Are you hungry?"

"A little."

"I'll get you some."

I got up, grateful for the break in tensity. I could hear them saying a few things here and there but nothing too clear. I brought out a plate and he thanked me and as he started to eat he kept quiet. Hoseok grabbed the dress ball I had by the couch and took it to the laundry room before going to the bathroom.

"Hoseok is pretty great." Jimin said surprising me.

"I think so too."

"It may take me some time to get used to this. And...I'm really an

"I know."

"But I guess....I feel like I brought it on myself."

"You did. You never opened your mind to the idea."

"I know. But you lied to me...for months."

"I did. And I am sorry about that, but I didn't feel like there was anything to tell you yet. We literally talked today about finally feeling comfortable enough to tell you. I didn't want to say anything unless there were real feelings."

"And today you decided that?"

"Today, was the first day I told him I loved him. It's how I knew I was ready to tell you."

"Today?" he asked.

"Mhmm."

"That's ironic timing." He said placing his plate on the table.

"It was." I agreed. Just then Hoseok came back into the room.

"Jimin I'd really like to talk to you one on one if you don't mind."

"I'm going to go shower then." I said kissing Jimin on the head. "I'll be quick."

Through my entire shower I was anxious. Jimin was right to be upset about the lying, but hew as also in the wrong. We had join faults here, all three of us and I was hoping Jimin would open his mind enough to see how happy both Hoseok and I have been. I had already shaved earlier that day and washed my hair but at least I could wash my hair again. I even put on my favorite body oil once I was done and put on a comfy pair of pajamas.

When I walked out I saw Jimin and Hoseok hugging and Hoseok nodding with a 'understood' notion.

"Are we going to be okay?" I asked Jimin.

"Yes." He said. "Like I said before, I might have my ups and downs with it but... think we will be okay. My driver is here though. I'm not leaving in anger, just mental and emotional exhaustion. I will still see you this weekend right?"

"Yes, of course." I said giving him a hug. "And I'm sorry you had to find out this way. I know that was hard."

"It's okay, really. It's what I get for not respecting boundries."

That made me laugh and we heard a knock at the door which was Jimin's ride

"I'll see you tomorrow Hobi."

"See ya." He waved.

And then the door shut, leaving Hoseok and I together.

"That was not how I thought that would play out." I said,

"Me either, but at least its over."

"Can I ask what you two talked about."

"I wanted to explain why I didn't tell him when it first started. I didn't throw you under the bus or anything but with him and I having a professional relationship in additional to a personal one, I didn't want this to affect the group. I told him that I respected your wishes, but that I really wanted to tell him. He knows how stubborn you can be, a quality you both hold very tightly.

I laughed. "That's true."

"How do you feel?"

"Relieved." I said. "You?"

"Glad it's over."

"Now all we have to worry about is Jungkook."

"Why him?"

"Duh. He's my Bias."
