Jangmi

"Stay still!"

"Jinjja ahpayo!"

"Of course! That's why I'm treating it. Now stay still."

I gave Yoongi a completely bored look when he didn't even moved an inch. I just want him to sit straight and stay still but here he was, leaning away from me with both of his arms supporting him from the back- while throwing me another bored look as well.

"What a mess." Jimin muttered under his breath. The two of us instantly shot him glares. Da Hee, on the other side, just giggled while doing her own work.

I rolled my eyes and turned to Yoongi again. If I don't treat his cuts then he will definitely end up gaining bruises and scars. I'm already doing my best to help here but why did I end up as the one begging for his cooperation? Tch.

I raised an eyebrow at him. You better move, I tell you.

Hana... dul... set... net... daseot...

But it looks like I'm waiting for nothing.

"Fine." I exclaimed, extremely annoyed. I dropped the kit beside him and got up from my seat in attempt to leave the room.

"Tsk tsk tsk." I heard Jimin disapprove while chuckling.

"Yah arasso arasso, I'll stop being stubborn."

I stopped midway from turning the door knob. What is he doing now? Playing hard to get? Awesome. Now we get to know the witty side of Min Yoongi. Sigh.

Even if I already lost interest in treating him, I still returned from my seat. Far from how he acts earlier, Yoongi now obediently sat straight along with both of his hands laying on his lap. But one thing that haven't change is the gazes he's been consistently giving me. And me? I just want to treat him peacefully. To succeed on doing that I must ignore him and not meet his orbs. Or else I may end up bickering again... with him or with my own heart. Not sure.

"Ohhh. 'Deadly Min Yoongi stares exclusively for Kim Jangmi only' activated!" Jimin broke the silence. Da Hee cracked up again, she's doing her best to hide her laughter since earlier but this Park Jimin really knows how to put on a show.

"Are you trying to make them angry?"

"Maybe?" Jimin answered Da Hee and winked at her. He turned to me. "Don't melt, Jangmi~"

"Shush!" I spat at Jimin. My face already crumpled.

Look at him doing his best to tease us when I just saw him wink at Da Hee! If only I can find a way to make revenge.

My expression suddenly changed after realizing something right in the back of my mind. And with that, my eyes landed on Jimin.

Heol. I don't have to get affected by him all the time, I can also make him feel awkward too! Wow, you're a genius Jangmi! Great!

I smirked and looked at this pretty girl sitting beside me and wore my sweetest smile. In my peripheral vision, I saw how Jimin's wide grins disappeared in just a snap as he take hint on what I'm bound to do.

"Da Hee," I called.

"Nae, unnie?"

Watch me, Park Jimin.

"Apparently I'm not the only girl in this room who receives stares from a guy, do you know that?"

"Ani. What do you mean by you're not the only one?"

Good question.

I glanced at Jimin for a second and saw his eyes widening as if he's asking me to stop this. I turned to Yoongi too, he just tilted his head and scoffed.

I smiled at Da Hee. "Well, you just don't know it but..."

Not finishing my sentence in purpose and silently throwing Jimin a frisky stare is frankly the best part. Da Hee stopped whatever she's doing and froze on her spot, probably she already knew what I mean. Meanwhile, Jimin's face is epic.

Let me clarify how he looked right now: Red tomato...

Well, Jimin seemed taken aback. He bites his lower lip harshly while his ears are already turning unbelievably red- do not forget to mention his neck too. In short, he is shy. You could read on his face one obvious thing and that is the face of being caught by your crush as you try steal glances.

"Well... I'm just saying what I saw." I shrugged.

Try me, Park Jimin. And this is what you get. Haha!

After playing around for a bit I then carried on treating Yoongi. A bruise close to his left eye is my first target so I carefully dabbed the ice pack on it as I hold his chin.

This time, he should try his best tolerating the pain he's bound to feel.

"Ah!"

That's what I mean.

"You'll be fine." I smiled at him and thankfully, he answered with a nod.

"E-Ehem..." Jimin cleared his throat which caught our attention. We watched how they acted and saw how both Jimin and Da Hee won't dare to meet eyes.

Oops. Have I made things get too awkward?

Yoongi and I looked at each other. Is it only me or does Yoongi notice something going on between those two as well? Especially Park Jimin.

Minutes passed and I found the four of us having our own conversations. Me talking to Yoongi, Da Hee talking to Jimin, yeah it seems like they were able to shrug the awkwardness off their shoulders. And us, girls, treating the two while they do nothing but wince in pain.

I'm so proud thinking that they got this wounds from protecting other people.

"Jakkaman..." Yoongi whispered and held my hand to make me stop. I just sighed on my seat and watched him take some rest.

"Tell me, are you not used to treating your wounds?"

For some reason my heart sank when he shook his head as an answer. He's been alone for a long time that he can't even stand treating his own wounds. Of course, there is no one to help him. And most definitely not Mason.

"Don't give me that look. It's because I haven't gotten myself into fights for a long time already that's why I gain no cuts."

"But still..." I murmured and looked down.

Sigh, I should stop making him look pitiful. Nothing good will happen and it might only hurt his feelings and pride.

I took time to stare at him and examine each wound he has. Seems like his flawless face would be gone for a little while. But how come he still look good and handsome? Is that even possible?

"Tss." He scoffed at me. What now?

"You know, I noticed that you kept on staring at me since the day we met. Is it because of my too handsome face?"

I stared at him in awe.

"Oppa?"

Seokjin? Is that you in the form of Yoongi? How dare you switch souls! Did you missed me so much already that you got all the way here just so you would see me?

Um... okay. That makes no sense. Maybe Yoongi really just has this hidden side of his and it was my first time seeing it which is why I'm shocked. Oh, that's better. My apologies for calling him oppa.

Wait. Something seems wrong.

"H-Huh...?" Yoongi stuttered.

I froze on my seat. The next thing I know, my undeniably surprised eyes met his orbs as he just blink innocently.

Mwo?? OPPA??!

"Oppa?" Jimin and Da Hee asked in unison. Omo! Since when did they listened to our conversation??

But wait, did I really called him that? No... way-

"Wah, daebak!" Jimin cried out as he repeatedly points a finger at me and Yoongi. "Jinjja daebak jinjja~! Oppa? Are you guys serious? Hahaha!"

Jimin's loud claps echoed in the room as I close my eyes and hide my face to escape from their glances directly at me. This is completely embarrassing, ugh I should've watched my mouth more carefully!

A moment ago I said 'You're a genius Jangmi. But now I'd rather say this to myself...

Pabo. Pabo Kim Jangmi!! Argh!

"Ani! I can explain-"

"Oppa~🎶 oppa~~~🎶" Jimin sang his heart out. Aish! This naughty boy! Why won't he stop teasing us?

"That's not what I mean-"

"Yah!" Yoongi called in a loud tone which made our heads turn to him.

Don't tell me he's gonna be one of them too or else...

"Don't take back what you've just said." He claimed then pointed to himself as he raise his right eyebrow and fix his gaze directly at me. "Oppa."

What the-! Oh no don't you dare curse, Jangmi. But anyways, he's not asking me to call him oppa, right? Because it seemed as if that's what he is absolutely trying to do.

Gosh Min Yoongi! How flirty could you be?

Jimin raised his fist and asked Yoongi for a fist bump, Yoongi let out a laugh as he happily recieved it, making my mouth hung open while watching the two of them. They've been getting along really well and it happened from making fun out of me nonstop. Psh, these two. Urgh! Da Hee, I need your help jebalyo!

Our noise was disturbed by the gentle knock on the door. We all became silent and shifted our gaze towards the ajumma who peaked a little to call the four of us.

"Lunch is ready, kids." She smiled.

Wait, did I just heard the word lunch?

Food...

"We'll come out immediately, halmeoni." Da Hee answered for us and the she nodded before closing the door again.

I felt like tearing up after realizing that finally, we would be able to get some food and fill our stomachs. Real foods. And many foods. Oh my gosh. I so love food.

🌸🔪🌸

"Are you full now?" Yoongi broke the silence as we walk side by side here in the garden of the mansion while Jimin and Da Hee strolled around the place too, we can see them in a few distance.

I glanced at him in a bored way.

"Yoongi, what kind of question is that?"

He chuckled, showing me his infamous gummy smile. I would call myself lucky if I was the one to see that sweet smile of his.

"I see. For a moment I thought you're a hungry barracuda as we ate earlier."

A hungry what?

"Barracuda? Min Yoongi, are you mocking me?"

He just laughed again and ignored my question. Hello? I'm starting to get infuriated right now and here he was, giggling. Did he just call me a barracuda? Why? How did I ate earlier?

I just remember myself-

I just remember myself... scooping my fifth... c-cup of rice.

"Your spoon seemed like holding a mountain in every time you scoop your food." He added and I struck his arm with force. His mouth opened in pain but five seconds hadn't yet passed and he continued laughing at me even more.

Aish! Can he blame me? For the past days I only ate half of a sandwich and a bottle of water. I can't even figure out how I've been able to survive with only those. So now that I got the chance, of course I will eat as many as I please.

"Go away." I grumbled which earned another grin from him. Yoongi is so hyper today. Weird- in a cute way.

Actually, in the middle of my meal I saw the stares of five pairs of eyes directly at me, and the owners of those eyes are Yoongi, Ha Yoon halmeoni, Yisub harabeoji, Jimin and Da Hee. I instantly got conscious and controlled the way I ate, I tried going more slowly but after a couple of minutes I just realized that I finished my food so fast as if it was my first time eating.

About halmeoni and harabeoji, they insisted that we should call them that instead of ajumma and ajussi. We had a little chat earlier and found out that both of them are doctors as well as Da Hee's parents. That is surely the reason why Da Hee knew a lot about medicines and curing people.

They also told Da Hee about what really happened earlier while they are on their way home. She was really flustered and has no idea on how to respond after knowing everything. And as expected, Da Hee teared up a bit after finding out that her grandparents were almost put in danger. She even stood up from her seat while repeatedly bowing down to us three and showering us with gratitude. At the same time, we gave them our thanks too for letting us in their houses. It's a very big help, to be honest.

"Kaja!"

I looked in front of me with a startled expression when Yoongi suddenly grabbed me by the wrist. There is Jimin and Da Hee standing a few meters from us as they wave their hands, motioning for us to go to them.

"Mwoya?" I asked Da Hee as soon as we got closer to them. She is playing with an empty bottle then sat on the grass beside Jimin.

"Let's play spin the bottle."

Oh, so now we play spin the bottle. Let me guess, all of us are gonna be bombarded with so much questions. Hmm... so this is like our getting to know phase.

We formed a circle, Jimin is on my left and Yoongi is on my right while Da Hee is sitting in front of me.

Jimin stared at the bottle lying in the middle. "How do we play this?"

"We spin the bottle and wait for it to point at someone." I explained.

"And?" Yoongi asked. These people really don't know this game? I never knew there's someone in this world who doesn't know how to play this.

"And we ask that person something we are curious of. Is that clear now? Waah I missed playing this so bad. Sooo let's start!"

Da Hee reached for the bottle and spun it. To my surprise, the bottle pointed at my direction. They all looked at me as Da Hee snap her fingers which means she already thought of a question. That was fast.

"Are you a part of the NBSB organization?"

What kind of question is that? She's so funny.

"Of course."

"Mwo??" Da Hee and Jimin shouted in unison. Heol, why are these two always shouting at me? Were they really like that whenever they're surprised? Can't they at least lower their voices?

"Are you sure? Or you're just lying because Yoongi hyung is here?"

"Pfft! No I'm not!"

"With that face, unnie? It's impossible no one had courted you before."

"I experienced being courted too but relationships haven't crossed my mind yet. That's why I'm still a part of the NBSB organization."

"Are they handsome? The guys who courted you?" Da Hee asked. Jimin leaned in too and patiently waited for my answer with his already disappearing narrowed eyes.

"Well-"

"Were you supposed to ask this much?" Yoongi butted in.

Both Jimin and Da Hee slowly leaned away from me, flustered by Yoongi's question. But I think he didn't mean to be mean though. He really just looked like he's always ready to kill.

"Ani." Da Hee answered. Phew. Thank god Yoongi is here or else I might have a nosebleed because of those questions.

"It's my turn to spin now, right?" I asked. Da Hee nodded and so I did, then the bottle pointed at Yoongi.

Shoot. Now I have to ask him.

"Hmm..."

What will I ask?

Oh, I know!

"Is Lilac pretty?"

As expected, Yoongi shot me a 'what the fuck?' look and I just stared at him with my right left arched. He sighed sharply and without breaking our eye contact, he answered.

"There is no pretty shit, Jangmi. They all stink."

I covered his mouth with my fingers. He really should learn controlling his mouth and the words he said.

"Who's Lilac?" Jimin asked while Yoongi is now busy playing with my fingers after he removed it on his face. I turned to Yoongi and waited for his answer.

Lilac is Yoongi's lover. The girl wanting him. The girl who is unfortunately, has control over him. And if you want me to be honest, she is also the girl I'm afraid of.

"The b-" Yoongi stopped in mid sentence and looked at me. "Um... just someone. She is nothing special."

"And you should ask only one question so let's now move on with the game." I stated and asked Yoongi to spin the bottle before he drop another bad word about her.

He spun it then it pointed at Da Hee.

"What is better, roses or lilacs?"

My eyes popped out of its sockets. What did he just asked??

How could he do this? He's making me feel uneasy!

I repeatedly fluttered my eyes from shyness as I look away from all of them, especially Yoongi. In just a snap my heart started beating faster than its normal pace.

"Of course roses are better. For me, they look livelier and amazing."

Yoongi winked at me after hearing Da Hee's opinion which literally made my breath hitch.

"Can I ask you too, oppa?" Da Hee happily exclaimed and immediately continued, not even waiting for Yoongi's answer. "Roses or lilacs?"

"Yah!" I shouted at Da Hee but all she did was to giggle and make a peace sign. Oh my god, how can Park Jimin influence her this much in just the short time they've been together?

"So, what's the answer?" Jimin eyed the other guy.

"Jangmi."

I blinked. Then gulped. And blinked again.

Excuse me, what? Did he just... Did he just... said my name?

Jangmi is my name. I'm the only Jangmi here. Did he really said...? No no no. He only meant a rose. Not you. Stop assuming.

*Silence*

"Awwwkwaaard." Jimin broke the silence which almost engulfed us four. For the nth time, I shot him a glare, and I suppose it's not only me but also Yoongi. But at the end, Yoongi let out a laugh.

I held my breath- then smiled with him. I just rolled my eyes and shook my head when the other two began cracking up as well.

Aish. These three.

I thought we'd become awkward as ever but it didn't end up in that way. Dahaeng ida. But of course, nothing can remove my fast beating heart and my fluttering stomach along with my overflowing joy. Since when did the four of us learned to joke around with each other?

Tch. This is all your doing, Jimin and Da Hee. But seriously? Thank you for that. I saw with my own eyes and heard with my own ears how Yoongi chose the rose over a lilac. Urgh, what am I saying?

"Let's continue now." Da Hee held the bottle and spun it around. My mouth formed to an O shape when it pointed at Jimin. What a great game, in one spins we were all able to play already. But what excites me more is the question Da Hee will ask Park Jimin.

Is this another sweet moment, now for the both of them? I badly want to tease them just like how they teased Yoongi and I nonstop earlier! I'm sure this will be fun!

Da Hee tilted her head and shot Jimin a very curious stare. "Who are you?"

My smile suddenly faded. What does she mean?

"Who are you and what do you do in life?"

Jimin's eyes widened a bit and Yoongi's lips parted open.

This is not good. The question isn't exciting at all. It is breathtaking- in a not so good manner.

Who are they? Da Hee, telling you who they really are might be a great...

...risk.
