Jimin was swirling the wine he had gotten for himself around his glass while he was standing at a corner, his eyes looking towards the exit in hopes of seeing you returning soon in the room.

The urge to step out of there himself and come find you, was growing inside him with each minute that passed by as in his mind many scenarios started getting born. Imagines that he himself realised immediately after they crossed his mind that they were a bit too edgy and nothing more but the construction of his fear and doubt that was rooted inside him through the passage of years.

He left a deep exhale leave his lips before he brought the glass to his lips one more time, only to almost choke on it when a hand hit him on the back startling him.

"Seriously? I almost stained my clothes because of you." Jimin glared at Taehyung that had found his way beside him and his brother smiled at him before he bumped him with his shoulder, making his body move slightly once more.

"You are putting your clothes above your life? I thought you were gonna go off about the fact that you almost choked on your wine." Taehyung smiled and proceeded to take a proper sip from his wine this time, his eyes travelling around the room once more, before he finally replied to him.

"There's no point in scolding you about that. We both know you enjoy making my life difficult after all." Taehyung's smile grew wider at his statement, his eyes falling to his feet for a bit then take a quick glance at Jimin who seemed to be searching the room for something.

"Looking for Mr Jung?" He questioned recalling the fact that when he had met him earlier upon his arrival at this party, he had asked about Jimin and had told him to tell him to pay him a greeting when he was to arrive.

"Oh right, I have yet to greet the host of this event properly. I should go do so before my belated actions, comes to be considered offensive to him." Jimin passed his glass to Taehyung and once he took hold of it he took off to get done with this obligation that was to reflect his good manners.

It didn't take long for Mr Jung to fall in Jimin's sight and he confidently walked towards the elder who was standing by the side of his aunt, having a conversation with some shareholders of Jimin's company which he knew well.

"Good evening Gentlemen...Madam, It's very pleasant to see you all doing well."He bowed at them respectfully and placed a charming smile on his lips, making the people whom he talked to smile back at him. 

"Mr Park, so nice to see you again. "Mr Jung looked him straight in the eyes as he welcomed him, reaching out his hand to him for a handshake, that Jimin took without hesitation, bowing his head lightly once more as he held his hand.

"I almost thought that you didn't make it to the event when I saw your brother arriving without you." He added and Jimin threw his eyes towards his aunt for an instant, thing that made her look away from him, rather uncomfortably.

"I would in no way miss such a joyful event" He lied, as he would have definitely skipped it if it wasn't for the fact that you were here and if he didn't have Taehyung capable of putting his threat -that he texted him along with your photo- to action. Only the thought that he would be going around presenting you as single and trying to find you a boyfriend throughout the whole evening, made Jimin's blood boil.

"Aunty, very pleasant to see you after such a long time. You are holding out pretty well." He felt the need to leave some words directed to her and he did so as politely as he could master after yesterday and the things he had heard that inevitable had disturbed a bit further the image he held for her, not because he thought of her cheating actions as wrong, but because he could not understand how a mother, could live her life, without even looking back at the child she left behind. No matter in how much of good hands she had left Taehyung, in Jimin's head it seemed absurd and impossible for a mother, to not long for her child.

However, that may just be the kind of image he had for parenting in his head because he had had a good example of parents. People that looked after them and loved them deeply no matter if they really were their children or not. Such were the parents he found himself feeling respect towards and when it came to people like his aunt, or his unknown biological parents, the comparison of the two individuals in his head, left the figure of his aunt not far away from someone as cruel as the one that actually did abandon him in the mercy of life.

He had thought about it for long after he had heard the truth coming out of her mouth. He had thought enough to realize that whoever his biological parents were, he was unwanted and not loved by them. To them, his life was insignificant enough to see him once he had come to life and instantly think of him as a burden. A burden they did not hesitate to get rid of.

He was to lie, if that fact was not making him feel unsettled and a bit hurt to this instant however, he was thankful that he was thrown away by them. He was thankful that whoever his mother was, she had not loved him, because of her unmotherly behaviour, he had gotten lucky enough to meet a mother that loved him truly and raised him with warmth, cherishing him more than they probably would ever have.

"It's good to see you too dear. Thank you for making time to join us on this occasion." She replied with a smile, that brought a feeling of discomfort inside Jimin, however, he covered it up by taking his eyes away from her and focusing his attention on Mr Jung again.

Unlike prior that their eyes met, however, Jimin felt a slight change in his aura but the man smiled quickly enough at him and urged him to go on with his night and have his fun. Jimin did so without having the need to be given that chance twice, excusing himself while promising to see them around.

Once he turned his back to walk away, however, he took notice of JaeHyun that was coming his way and he halted his steps till his cousin reached the side of his body, their shoulders touching.

"No matter what you are after, I hope you know that you are not gonna get it," Jimin told him as his face kept looking ahead.

" If I was in your shoes, I wouldn't be that sure about that," JaeHyun replied as he turned his head a bit to look at Jimin's side profile and Jimin turned towards him too, finally locking eyes with him.

"Y/N is under my protection." He uttered staring at Jaehyun intensively and he smirked a bit before placing his hand on Jimin's shoulder.

"Who said I wanna harm her?" He spoke then leaned a bit closer towards his ear and added to his words. " All I want is to have her."

Jimin's eyes narrowed at the statement that was practically challenging him and then he proceeded to bring his hand and place it over his that was resting on his own shoulder. He took his hand away from him then proceeded to swipe his suit lightly, leaving a subtle implication that his touch had dirtied his clothing.

"Of course, who wouldn't want her."Jimin smiled widely as he proceeded to turn his body towards him and placed his hand on top of his cousin's head, making him feel belittled. As if he was a little child in comparison to him.

"What a pity that is however that Y/N wants and will always want only me," Jimin added and patted his hair twice as if to tell him to sit down and don't try to bark at him, because he was way out of his reach.

He walked away with a visible satisfaction on his face, leaving behind a JaeHyun that was staring at him, with curses looming in his mind and hate dancing in his eyes.
