The room had fallen silent briefly as soon as the director's scream had echoed around, freezing your actions as well as Jimin's who pulled away from the pliers and freed his finger. With a smile on his face, he brought his hand around the Director's neck and pulled his face closer to his, noticing how his breath hitched before his piercing eyes.

"You took the right decision Director. No amount of money could do you good after you were to pass through my hands...So let me ask one more time. Who made you fire me?" Jimin's seriousness had the man feel the anxiety he was causing get to his head for somehow he was leaving a dangerous aura that had wrapped around his brain and had made him truly believe that he was nothing but a speck of dust before him.

"I-I really wasn't planning to...but they threatened to fire me. I can't allow getting dirt on my reputation. I have a family. I can't ruin my marriage. Please understand." The man's words left you all guessing about what kind of dirt they had on him and that made you instantly grow angrier for he was nothing but one more pathetic cheater apparently.

"Did I ask you about the story of your life? Just give me a name before I lose my patience with you!" Jimin raised a bit the tone of his voice as he tighten the grip around the man's neck and he closed his eyes tightly for a second then proceeded to speak again.

"It was Mr. DuHo, Jeon Jungkook's manager. He contacted me and threatened me and even paid me off to keep quiet and announce to the media that I fired you cause you were caught molesting a worker on set."

"What?!" DongMin showed his surprise as he was hearing for the first time that name yet you and Jimin were kinda expecting him to have been involved even though not this directly as he apparently had.

"Did I molest a male or a female?" Jimin questioned him and the director gave him a confused look for he wasn't expecting such a reply.

"Eh? Does it matter? I- I don't know...I wasn't gonna involve anyone else and mention names." 

"Tsk, wrong move. If you want to frame me, you should do it right! What if I were to pay someone and claim they were the one you were talking about and make you a fool that just misunderstood a situation? Your preparations and the way you try to bring your plans to life is disappointing." Jimin scolded him as if he wanted them to succeed, then he stepped away from him and walked over to his couch, looking rather comfortable.

"It's the second time I hear you say that you are disappointed by your enemies' tries. You make me question if you yourself are on your side sometimes." You walked towards him with the tape still at hand and DongMin followed, making the Director look at you all with wide eyes, at the fact that you seemed to have just ignored him and left him there tied up on the chair.

"Most likely it's because he feels like they are underestimating him and that's bothersome. He is quite prideful, you know." DongMin proceeded to solve your curiosity on the matter and Jimin just looked at you both and smiled a bit.

"Well, I don't know if I would call him prideful. Maybe arrogant define him better sometimes, but still, he should be thankful that guy is bad at his work instead of complaining."

"You can't understand a man's pride Y/N. That's all it is to this. Just let it go." DongMin brought his hand on your shoulder as he jokingly replied to you and you turned and gave him a look before you brought your hand above his and looked him straight in the eyes.

"You can't understand about a man's pride either since you don't have any." You shoved his hand away as soon as you replied making Jimin stand up from his seat and place his hands on top of your heads, making you both turn your attention at him simultaneously.

"|I would really appreciate if you two stop making me feel like a third wheel stuck in between a quarreling couple." He gave you a thin smile that made you both realize that there laid a thin layer of irritation behind it yet his use of words had irritated you more.

"Please, Couple? With him? If someone was to put a gun on my head and choose him or death I would choose death." You took his hand off your head and gave a death stare at DongMin who claimed that what you just said was a bit offensive and Jimin just left an exhale and walked to the Director who was looking towards you speechless while in his head he thought of you all as crazy.

"Excuse them Mr. Director, they get sidetracked easily...so...where were we?" Jimin joked with the man right before he took hold of his hair and turned his head from left to right, examining his face as if he was looking for something.

"Which eye would you like to lose? Which one had the best vision?" He questioned him and both DongMin and you looked at him confused over what he was doing now but your wonder came to a halt as Jimin pulled a screwdriver out of the back pocket of his pants, which you hadn't even noticed when he had placed that there.

He swirled it around his fingers quite skillfully then after pointing at the Director's right eye, he left a smile creep on his lips that made the man's insecurity rise instantly and made him scream, "I will do anything you want me to! Please, Please don't harm me!"

"Oh, how sweet of you, Mr. Director...however I never doubted that you will do that, regardless though, don't you think that I should at least take one eye from you to compensate for what you tried to do to me? An eye for an eye says a saying. I hope you don't mind that I am making it too literal." Jimin's smile was making it hard to understand if he meant those words of his or he was bluffing and that somehow started giving you an unsettling feeling that made you walk closer to him, just in case you needed to restrain him.

"I am sorry. I am seriously so sorry. I promise I will never do anything against you again. I won't even call the cops on you or sue you for today's action. I swear." His words made Jimin burst out laughing for he must have thought of him as an idiot if he really believed that he would trust him just like that.

"How about you let me in your darkest secret and I will make sure to keep it safe for you, for as long as you keep your mouth shut about me and whatever happened here today. Sounds reasonable doesn't it?" He proposed and after you realized that he was just trying to make sure to end this neatly you relaxed a bit and momentarily thought of him as someone quite smart considering the way he was dealing with things.

The Director however seem to hesitate to cooperate, thing that made Jimin grab him in a headlock and make his face look up, the screwdriver looming above his eyeball in a way that had him sweating cold.

"I assure you that even if you try to sue me, I will be the one to get out of it untouched, so why not save yourself some time and some pain. I am advising you for your good old man, for I assure you..." Jimin halted his tongue and leaned closer to his ear, to make sure that he hears well the next words he was about to say. " you won't be the first nor the last corpse I will take care of disposing of this earth."

You had never witnessed someone's face portray that much horror as you saw the Director's face once Jimin pulled away from him and he started speaking of anything bad he had ever done in his life as if he was confessing to a priest the sins he had committed thus far. Yet in his eyes, as he looked at Jimin it was obvious that he was not expecting remorse or forgiveness on the contrary. He looked as if he was speaking his last words and making his final confession and that somehow made you really curious about what had Jimin whispered in his ear.

It took some minutes for him to finish and Jimin had made him repeat some important parts while he recorded him. He even ended up taking with him hidden records and pictured the man had kept confidential in his villa before he untied him and casually greeted him goodbye.

You had walked out of that house as if you had been regular guests that paid him a friendly visit, yet once near the gate which you had to jump over once again, you couldn't help but grab Jimin's arm and question him about what he had told him to make him like that.

"Nothing much. He thought I was a psychopath so I just let him think I was a murderer too. He really loves his life a bit too much as you saw." He casually replied, leaving you speechless for a moment while DongMin was already climbing the gate and as such he had not heard his words.

"You are so damn bold." You commented as you watched him climb over the gate himself and he laughed a bit without looking back.

Once he landed at the other side, he looked back for you who were climbing and got at the outer side, trying to get down slowly, yet somehow you managed to mess your steps and slip, making you hold your breath and ready yourself mentally for the collision as soon as you felt gravity pulling you down. For the pain was certain to come and that was something you didn't even doubt.

The sight of you falling had DongMin -who looked back at that very moment only to witness your downfall-  had his breath to halt on his throat out of fear and his body frozen in place, while Jimin was the one that had acted out of reflex and had managed to catch you before colliding with the ground. 

You had opened your eyes as soon as you had felt that you had stopped falling, only to witness his face right above yours, with a pained expression that made you instantly realize that he had strained himself and pained his own body by doing that action.

Your heart was beating fast out of momentary fear for the rush of emotions that sudden slip gave you, which had yet to be shaken off of you. Yet the fact that you were proven wrong had your mind in a halt. The pain didn't come even though you fell and that somehow was a reality you weren't used to experiencing and as such had your brain malfunctioning for a moment. Your mind had proceeded to bring you a mixture of past memories and falls that you had experienced. Be it physical or emotional downfalls you had gone through, there never was anyone to catch you nor lift you at your feet yet this small action of his had shaken your emotions in a way you yourself couldn't understand, and as such you just kept staring at him, without uttering anything.

"Once we get home, you better prepare me a bath full of ice." That was all he said as he helped you stand at your own two feet and DongMin came by your side, bombarding you with questions that you ignored despite the fact that they were all related to your well-being.

But you couldn't pay attention to him even if you wanted to because for some reason your mind was stuck at the simple fact that this man was in pain all day yet rarely did he show so and even more rarely did he try to avoid something that could bring him more pain. Was he some kind of masochist or was he just crazy all together? You couldn't help but wonder however as Jimin looked past his shoulder and gave you a small smile, you strangely felt secure.

For he sure may not be normal and he sure may not be sain, but he was someone who cared and did everything in his power for the people that were by his side and that made you feel almost lucky that you were involved with him. No matter how much trouble being involved with him had caused you and how much more you were about to get in, at that very moment, he had made you think that he won't let you go down alone in any case. He made you feel as if he had your back for as long as you were one of his people.

"Hey!" You watched up to him, leaving DongMin giving you a bothered look for you left while he was still talking to you.

"Can I be your friend?" You surprised your own self with the random question you made him and Jimin halted his feet and turned around to look at you before he told you that you could be much more than that if you wanted to and then winked at you, making you think that he was joking.

"I will just take the friendship package, thank you." You retorted with a smile as you walked forward and surpassed him, listening to his laughter before he proceeded to joke about how skillfully you had rejected him. 

An interaction that definitely was giving light and friendly vibes yet DongMin that was observing you both, felt unease within him for he knew you well and he could tell that you had started being comfortable around Jimin. Enough to make him feel bothered and even...jealous.
