Jimin was spending a lot of time at my house during his recovery, but now it was time for him to start physical therapy. That is when Hoseok would come over.

We were somewhat lucky. Jimin had physical therapy almost every day now, and it allowed Hoseok the freedom to come over.

Both Yoongi and Jin knew by this point, and I was starting to get the impression that Namjoon and Jungkook were becoming suspicious. Namjoon had made a few remarks to Hoseok about now working on the projects he was working on because no progress was being made.

Jungkook wanted to start up practices again, so they were ready for when Jimin would come back, but Hoseok was not as available as he wanted him to be.

Hoseok and I weren't really fighting about it, but he was being careless with his time, and I was starting to become frustrated.

I was supposed to spend the day with Jin, but because of some collaboration requests he and for when UNITE ended their break, the other managers had to spend the day with attorneys to get details and money sorted out.

When my front door opened, I was not expecting Hoseok to be there.

"Hey." I greeted him cautiously. "What are you doing here?"

"I thought I'd spend the day with my girlfriend since you're free now." He said giving me a kiss.

I immediately knew he was blowing of either Namjoon or Jungkook, or maybe even both. But I tried not to show too much of how I was feeling.

"Shouldn't you be meeting with Jungkook for practice?" I asked him as he sat on my couch. "You have been blowing that off a lot, and its just him and Tae in the studio."

"I was there yesterday." He said as I made my way over to him.

"Right, but shouldn't you be there today too?"

He gave me a funny look before cocking his head to the side. "Do you not want me here?"

"Not if it is going to cause suspicions. They all know I was supposed to have the day with Jin and it got cancelled because of the meeting. You were supposed to be with them today, and now you're not. Jin and Yoongi already know, and you know that Namjoon and Jungkook are suspicious."

"Well I'm not the one not wanting them to know."

"You agreed to keep our relationship private until I'm ready."

"And I have not told anyone nor do I plan to." He defended.

"But you're being careless." I replied, now getting a little riled up. "You are spending ALL of your time here, and not that I think any of them are gossips but what happens if Jimin starts asking questions. 'Where's Hoseok?' 'Why wasn't Hoseok at practice?'"

"I get the feeling you're actually mad at me about this."

"Well I kind of am Hoseok." I said standing. "You cant keep putting off your group responsibilities just to hang out with me."

"You're my girlfriend. You're important." He said, his tone getting even more defensive.

I sighed heavily. He's either not getting it or choosing to ignore what I'm saying, and both are making me angry.

"I know. And you are important to me, but what do your members think of all the time you are not at practice, not working on your songs and the new album that is going to come out? Where do they think you are?"

He shrugged looking passed me, which made me even more angry. I just stared at him in disbelief. Something must be wrong, because he is acting very out of the ordinary.

"What are you not telling me?" I asked him, making his eyes shoot to meet mine. I turned my head expecting to hear some sort of explanation of why he is acting this way.

"I don't understand why you aren't jumping for joy that I'm here. We may not know how much time we get together, and now that Jimin is in physical therapy we can see each other as much as we want before everything comes out. So who cares if I'm not at practice or if I'm not working on my songs. They will get done when they need to."

"You're not telling me something." I said, walking over to him and now I'm getting fearful.

He looked away and let out a sigh, and that gave it away that I was right. "I don't want to tell you."

"If it's bad I can handle it. Just tell me."

He leaned back and stared at me for what felt like forever. I could see in his eyes that he was contemplating what to say and I just had to sit there until he spoke.

Finally he did.

"The company thinks that Jimin injured himself because of your presence at the tour. They think that you distract him."

"Do I?"

"No." He said. "So Jin isn't just talking with attorneys today. He also has a meeting with our team on whether or not you are allowed to be on the next tour."

"Oh." I said a little deflated.

"And Jimin is making a big deal about it. In a few months, when he's fully healed, we will have a new album out, new choreo, and then touring. An international tour."

"That's great!" I said excitedly.

"Its going to be 8 months, Noona." He said in a hushed tone. "You will be here, and we will be....not here."

"Oh."

"That is why Jimin is fighting so hard. He is saying that if you're not allowed to come for at least half of it, then he wont do it."

"That's stupid." I said. "He cant just put all of your careers on hold because of his sister."

"Well....he's planning on it. Jin is trying to explain to the board, with footage from the concert that night, that you weren't even in his line of sight."

"Why are they blaming me?"

"They think that he saw you on the sideline, got excited, and then took a misstep."

"I'm pretty sure, all 4 of you were so focused on the crowd that I wasn't even in your thoughts."

"That's what the rest of us are saying too."

"Everyone knows about this?"

"Yes."

"How long have you known?"

"A while." He said after a short pause.

"How long is a while?"

He sighed again and reached for my hand. "About a month." He said, which pissed me off.

"You have known about this for a month, you all have and no one told me?"

"You were so excited about this house. We didn't want to rain on your parade."

"And you had no intentions on telling me did you?"

"I was going to tell you after this meeting. Jin asked me to be here with you. He was going to tell you when you guys were out and about but then all of this sprang up on him. He was barely prepared for it, but he was able to get the footage from Yoongi and Namjoon."

"They really think it was my fault?"

"We don't." He said. "None of us do, and we have all said our piece. Tae even said that he wouldn't do the tour if they were going to blame you for an injury like that. I could have happened to any of us, and we have been inured before."

"I didn't realize how much it affected. I mean....I knew...but not to this extent."

"I know." He said, pulling me closer to him. "But Jin is smart and persuasive. I don't think they can logically blame you for what happened."

"Poor Jimin." I said. "He's probably stressing himself out so much over this."

"A little, but he's really focusing on his physical therapy right now. Tae is actually with him today."

"So you all have the day off?"

"We do."

"You could have lead with that before I got so mad." I scolded him making him laugh.

"But you're so cute when you're trying to be calm."

"Whatever." I laughed.

I ended up making a quick lunch and Hoseok and I just lounged around talking and watching movies. It was nice to feel like a normal couple every now and again like this. I knew they were precious moment that would not happen often once life picked back up and Jimin was feeling better.

We spent a few days like this over the next several weeks. He was more cautious about being there for practices and sessions with Yoongi and Namjoon, but still made time to spend time with me.

I would still go to the dorms every now and again, and Jungkook would frequent my hot tub between breaks.

Jin eventually told me about the meeting he had with everyone. Thankfully after a while they came to their senses and realized that the misstep was just a human error that they cant even hold Jimin accountable for. No one is perfect.

Life seemed to settle down a lot, and Hoseok and I were getting closer and closer the more time we spent together. In truth, my feelings were beyond my control at this point. I loved him.

I was in love with him.

And for the first time, I felt like I was ready to tell Jimin. I was ready to let him know it wasn't just a fling, it wasn't just carelessness, I felt true feelings for Hoseok. And from the way he treated me, he felt the same way.

I invited Hoseok over to spend the night. He had recently caught up with a lot of writing he had been putting off, and had not shared it with the group yet. He told the members and Namjoon that he was going to go to the studio with Yoongi. Which he did. But once he was there, he told Yoongi he wanted to focus on a few things on his own and they would collaborate another day. So when Yoongi locked himself into his studio, Hoseok snuck out and made his way to my house.
