''4) Jimin: lithe''

One syllable and full of grace, the word is used to characterize flexibility and a slim figure. For example, you may have noticed the lithe  ballerinas when you attended a performance of The Nutcracker at Christmas time.

Jungkook was proud. Like really proud.

Not only did he manage to make his way in the Park family but he got access to the vault? The fucking vault? This was so unexpected, yet so welcoming. Perhaps his plan did stand chances of success.

After greeting both men, earning an angry glare from Jimin, he excused himself and left the room with a huge grin on his face.

''You can't be serious'' Jimin remarked to his father when the younger man  left the room.

''What are you talking about?'' his father questioned him, still drinking his whiskey.

''The vault ? The entire property that you have managed to keep intact all these years? You found out about the man's existence a few hours ago. You shouldn't trust him so easily'' Jimin mumbled irritated. Even if he was a member of the Park family, Jimin only knew the code to open the door, a code he learnt the moment he turned twenty one. Jungkook didn't even move his finger and instantly got access.

''I don't trust him Jimin''.

''Father...you just showed him the way to our vault''.

''Did I tell him that there is a security camera inside this room ?''.

''No'' Jimin replied.

''Did I tell him that if he enters the room without my knowledge, the laser trap will lock him inside ?'' he inquired. A sneaky grin appeared on Jimin's lips who at that moment realized the fact his father wasn't that stupid after all.

''You don't trust him...you are just testing him''.

''I asked Yoongi to do some research on Jeon Jungkook. Turns out there are multiple websites that write about his bestowals and charities or the huge amount of money he makes. However Yoongi managed to track down that all the websites are being conducted by the same address. I don't know if this is just a mere coincidence but Jimin you should pay attention to his movements. Get to know him better, illuminate anything suspicious'' his father awkwardly patted his back, a gesture that Jimin certainly didn't expect, and instantly left the room.

Jimin was in a huge dilemma. On one hand, he really wanted to shed a light on the Jeon Jungkook situation. On the other hand if he wanted to be successful, he needed to approach the boy, maybe get to know his likings or his habits. A conversation with his ''beloved'' sister was a must, even though he didn't want to hear her blabbering over how beautiful or talented  Jungkook is.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

''I swear if you ever treat me like a peasant again, I will kill you on the spot'' Jin yelled. Currently locked inside the guestroom, Jin was scolding the younger for his earlier behavior.

''I had to be convincing...And you chose to play this role. You could have stayed back with Namjoon or Taehyung'' Jungkook replied back, his eyes scanning the room. He had to make sure that their discussion would remain trapped between these four walls.

''Who would act as your servant then?'' Jin asked sassily.

''Oh, yeah I forgot. You took that acting lesson when you were ten and now you have the conviction that you are an actor'' Jungkook replied when he saw the older's jaw clenching.

''You better thank me for being here with you, you ungrateful brat!  Hadn't it been me, you probably wouldn't have met Chae. I am the mastermind behind all this mission''.

''We didn't know she had a brother though! You said you did research'' Jungkook yelled at the man.

''Jimin is a special case apparently. From what I found out from Tina...'' Jin began to explain.

''Who the fuck is Tina!? And he isn't a special case I can assure you about that'' he rolled his eyes.

''Tina is the maid here. However Jimin isn't like his sister at all. Despite being in the elite group, he isn't participating in any of his father's deals or agreements. His name is nowhere to be found and apparently he isn't in social media whatsoever. He doesn't want to follow his father's footsteps and wants to open his own business. His name isn't associated with the Parks at all'' Jin explained. Jungkook's expression changed in a matter of seconds.

He saw Jimin. He spoke to Jimin. Despite his lithe appearance, his expensive clothes and his arrogant attitude, Jimin was a peaceful presence. Jungkook himself couldn't deny it. The man had a humble elegance that resembled a rich man with an essence of humility, a lavish modesty.

Jungkook knew the man was going to cause problems. Especially now that he is going to stay here. He had to gain the mysterious man's trust. He was aware that Jimin was suspecting him. Nevertheless, Jungkook had a leverage that the older man didn't. He had already gained the confidence of the rest family members.

Now he had to gain Jimin's.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

''My beloved sister...How are you this fine night?'' Jimin asked with a smirk and sat comfortably on his chair. 

''Are you kidding me Jimin? Cut the bullshit and tell me what you want'' she mumbled indifferently.

''I want to talk about your fiancé...Funny how you know him only for three months and yet you decided to marry him'' he crossed his legs and grinned slightly.

''None of your fucking business'' she hissed.

''Oh come on little one. I am trying to be a good older brother here but you don't help me at all. I am not interrogating you here. I just want to know more about my brother in law'' he lied.

''Why don't you ask him? He is polite enough to answer you, not like your cocky self''.

Jimin swallowed his urge to slap her and smiled back at her.

''Who are you and what you did to my brother?'' she questioned when she saw her sibling smiling instead of mocking her.

''I just came here to make sure that you are in love with this man and that he is in love with you. Furthermore we are going to live in the same building...I want to get to know him, just like I did with Chen and Huyngsik'' he mumbled.

''Jungkook is so much better than them. He would never hurt me like what  they did. He is my soulmate. He never disagrees with me'' she blinked her eyelashes as if she was being absorbed into a dream.

''Do you trust him Chae? That's all I want to know'' he asked sincerely. Despite their constant disapproval, he still wanted to see her happy.

''I wouldn't marry him if I wouldn't. Our life will be prosperous and I will be staying with a man that cherishes me like a woman does diamonds. We were destined. And now please get out of our chamber. I don't want you here'' she ordered him and with a sigh of frustration Jimin left the room, only to fall onto the younger brat.

''Jeon, I thought you were still talking to Jin'' he spoke.

''No, I have to go to my wife. She must be impatiently waiting for me'' he chuckled.

''I was talking to her. She likes you a lot. You better not mess this up Jeon'' he warned him.

''I would never Park'' he murmured and opened the door, letting Jimin disappear in the hallway.

The fact that he had to bond with Jimin in an attempt to eliminate the man's all possible inklings sparked off an idea in his mind.

''Paaark'' he shouted, causing Jimin to flinch from surprise.

''Yes, Jeon'' he replied.

''Would you like to join me for an exquisite ambulation tomorrow?'' he inquired.

''Cut the flashy vocabulary Jeon'' he chuckled, seeing the man's poor attempt to seem more rich than he already was. If he was... 

''Fine...would you join me for a stroll tomorrow night?'' he questioned the man.

''If I don't have anything better to do...sure'' he simpered and left Jungkook looking at his figure from the door. Smiling at himself, Jungkook shut the door behind him and jumped on the king-sized bed.

''Are you trying to be friendly with my brother? Because let me tell you something, he is the devil reincarnated'' she warned him and sat on the bed beside him.

''Don't worry sweetie. I am sure I will pacify him'' he smiled to himself.

''As if...''.
