I know, I've heard that

to let your feelings show

-Sia-

⚽️⚽️⚽️

When Sully arrived home, she made sure her feelings were hidden. Their grandfather had previously planned to join him in his SUV. Sully immediately showers, puts on a tracksuit, and combs her long hair before accompanying her brother Namjoon and grandparents to Ezeiza International Airport.

Seeing and saying goodbye was always a bittersweet moment. The family was standing in the bustling terminal as Namjoons' security and managers encircled him. A few lucky fans had an unexpected celebrity sighting when they noticed him.

They rush up to them, giddy with excitement, some waving sheepishly from a distance. Namjoons smirked as his bodyguard permitted him some moments to take quick selfies with them.

When it came time to board, Namjoon, the kind and loving brother, turned to Sully just before leaving via the exclusive first-class terminal.

He embraced her tightly, his chin resting on her soft head. "Munchie pie, please take care of yourself, make sure all doors are locked, and no roaming around town on your own, okay," he murmured gently but steadily, his voice laced with regret "I just hate leaving you all by yourself, but fortunately, this ambassador work can't wait."

"I'll be fine, Joonie, go and enjoy some time of the field," she encouraged him, but her voice was somewhat shaky as she saw him leave, “Just  go do your best. Also, watch out for those gold diggers." She giggled against his chest.

He smirked as he leaned back and smiled sweetly at her, then he produced a matt black credit card from his brown snake leather wallet and pressed it into her palm, "Okay, you may use this for whatever you need. Fill up the cupboards at home or get something yummy from one of the many takeout restaurants. The directory is on my refrigerator. No...no complaints. I hope you enjoy your time with us. And get comfy in the penthouse. You'll see my login information for all of my streaming services, knock yourself out. You have two weeks of solitude—you deserve it."

She hesitated, almost unable to comprehend his caring nature toward her, she nod with a wide smile “Thank you, big brother. Just take care of yourself. ”

Namjoon smiled, ruffling her wavy hair, and turned to embrace your grandparents firmly before boarding his aircraft.

Sully felt a terrible sense of loneliness as she watched him walk away, turning and waving again, through the gates. Argentina was everything she wasn't expecting.

Her crush's disdain for her was one of the most eye-opening experiences for her. She made a decision to keep as far away from Mr Park Jimin as possible.

⚽️⚽️⚽️

Sully felt completely at ease at her brother's Penthouse. His maid will stay for an extra day to ensure Sully's well-being and the safety of his younger sister.

The penthouse was spacious and artistic, with bookcases stocked with every sort of literature Namjoon enjoys. From poetry to nineteenth-century murder thrillers.

Sully spent a fantastic day in solitude. She was still relaxing in her pajamas in the afternoon, with pizza takeout and plenty of snacks spread over the table while watching her favorite Spanish television series. Her hair was up in a messy bun, and her entire face was covered in a charcoal mask. It was long since 5 p.m. when she disconnected her cell phone from the charger.

When she turned it on, a notification went throughout the room. Namjoon, Lucia, and her best friend Leeseo all sent her texts. She chose to respond to Namjoons'  first before he believes she is kidnapped. He can be so overly concerned.

Namjoon: 'Hi munchie pie, I've arrived safely in LA and have just settled into my hotel...love you and keep safe--"

Leeseo: Bestie Why so quiet? I have not heard from you since last night. Are you okay? You've sounded so sorrowful; please be cheerful. I really missed you, and I hope you had a wonderful vacation. I simply despise this sub-lecturer who is assisting us in obtaining additional credit. He's such a narcissistic butt. He informed my father that I needed extra days to make up. Now I might not pay you a visit in Buenos Aires. What a bummer!

Lucia: Hello, girl. I missed you today at the training facility. Messi gave us a holiday job so we could legally be on the pitch... I will call you later.

You decided to contact her since the gig story seemed really interesting. So Sully resolved not to dwell in her overthinking about her life.

Sully's cheerful voice pierced the quiet area, saying, "Hi Lucia...sorry for not responding. I left my phone turned off and charging. So what's going on?"

Lucia sounded overjoyed, "It's okay. Girl, did you see our pictures in the entertainment magazines? We are on the society pages. You look so good as one of their models. Rosé called since she didn't have your number. She invites us to hang out with her...she is extremely cool. She's my new girl crush."

Sully laughed, "Hmm, poor Niki has competition--."

Sully almost choked on a piece of candy, " Excuse me...that arrogant fool despises me. I'm not sure what I did to him, but ever since we met, he hasn't said anything kind to me. Where did you get that stupid idea!" Sully shouted.

Lucia laughed, almost as if she were smug," Well, even Jungkook noticed that as you walked away, Jimin's gaze softened on you. I am telling you, girl, he fell for you---"

Sully simply inhaled deeply," I do not believe you. Your guys'  eyes need to be examined, Jimin believes I'm riding Namjoon's coattails like a spoilt brat. Even the fact that I got Messi to do an interview for my final assignment. It's not like I did it on my own.Joonie convinced Messi to help out. He loves Joonie a lot so I think it was a favor."

Lucia laughs loudly, "Well, if you say so, but something about Jimin's attitude lately doesn't add up.When you're around, he's usually tense and extremely quiet. I believe there is more to it."

Sully snorts, "Well, there is nothing. How can he have feelings when he's dating the most gorgeous girl...a former Miss Argentina and top model? Just take my word on it...Park Jimin despised me"

Lucia sounded smug, "Okay, if you say so...anyways, Messi let us volunteer at the training center for a few days before the squad had a whole week off. We could get access to the team, assist them, and use this volunteer week as experience to help you obtain a great  job. Your new bosses will be highly impressed if they knew you were a staff member of Argentinian national soccer team. You'll easily be employed."

Sully groaned, "I don't know Lucia...it's a great idea to volunteer, but I don't want to be at a place where I could run into Jimin. He makes me uneasy and insecure."

Lucia moaned loudly, "Ugh, come on Sully. It will be enjoyable to perform the bare minimum while earning a weekly salary. Messi's aid informed me that even if we volunteer, we will receive a few extra pesos. You can do with more money, don't you?"

Sully snicker aloud, "Relaxing in the penthouse right now is my thing. I'm free to order any takeaway. I'm binge-watching Spanish novellas. It keeps me entertained and shields me from drama. So, I'm good.

Lucia moaned, "Sully, don't be the boring introvert; be the courageous introvert. You need some sunshine, and you can't hide forever. Aside from that, the training center could use more hands. It will help keep you occupied and your mind off...you know who?"

Sully groaned and unwillingly gave in, "Fine, Lucia. Why am I such a pushover? But just so you know, if I see that arrogant twit, I'm going straight out the back door, without a care."

Lucia giggled, "Okay, deal. But something tells me he should be hiding from the savage you, not vice versa."

Sully just laughed despite her nervousness and a terrible ache in her heart. She was looking forward to two weeks of solitude in her brother's Penthouse. It sounded like paradise, yet the mere sight of Jimin set off another storm in her.
Maybe if she stays away from him, she will eventually fall out of love with him.

.....

The next morning, Namjoon's driver was assigned to take her anyplace she chose at her pleasure. Lucia contacted her again this morning to discuss the schedule.

Sully was thrilled to discover that they would be helping for two hours every day. She was overjoyed since she could still enjoy the remainder of her solitude at home. The staff in charge of the volunteers assigned them the most exciting task of providing water to the players.

The water stands were located on the field near the bleachers. Messi and his assistant training instructors were full of energy.

The team was attentive and willing to work hard. The trainers allowed the players to conduct their warm-up and stretching routine. It will help them avoid injuries and increase their flexibility.

They then spend some time with the foam rollers and resistance bands. If it helps them stay focused. Sully and Lucia were fixing the water table alone, while two other volunteers was to fix the towel station.

Sully couldn't help but notice Jimin practicing his routine. He had earbuds on, and she assumed that listening to music helped them concentrate and stay focused. He looked extremely good and flexible  in his black and red training kit. Sully's breath caught in her throat simply looking at him.

An hour later, the guys were on the field, going through drills. It improved their technical ability through dribbling, shooting, and passing routines. It was part of their tactical training.

Bangchan and Jimin were practicing defensive moves. They were shouting and screaming on the field while communicating with their teammates. Messi also advised them on the position and formation choices.

The team was preparing for their forthcoming game against Italy and France. Sully and Lucia were captivated by the agility of the players. Sully struggled to take her focus away from Jimin, who was doing drilling exercises with Jungkook and Taehyung. Niki's ankle seemed to be restoring even though he wasn't running full out on the field.

He blew Lucia some air kisses, which she playfully caught. Sully's heart fell a little as she imagined a love like Lucia and Niki's. They were really fixated on each other, and she could tell how much they loved each other. She would want to have such sweet love.

Haechan and Bangchan hurry up to the water station with enormous grins, their hair soaked and their cheeks covered with sweat.

"Lucia, can you believe we're being truly water girls for the guys?" Sully remarked with a giggle, hastily handing another water bottle to Haechan.

The temperature was hotter, but the lively chat between her and Lucia made the work feel anything as challenging. Sully quite enjoy interacting with the players.

“I know right! It feels  like we are a  part of the team without actually having to break out a sweat,” She joked, tossing a water bottle to Taehyung, who stood with a tired smile.

The other two volunteers, Maria and Adriana, then joined them, each bringing a crate full of additional supplies, energy drinks, energy bars, more ice cold still water, mineral water, and dry towels.

Adriana chuckled, her grayish green eyes glowing. "It appears you two are having too much fun without us,"

Maria taunted, placing down her container of goods.

"Hey, you know what they say--teamwork makes the dream work," Sully answered, chuckling as she got out some energy drinks.

The four of them swiftly refresh the station, exchanging jokes and personal stories while keeping the players hydrated and comfortable. Most players hurry to the locker rooms to hit the showers first.

Sully  was already tired of standing for almost two hours and decided to rest just as Jimin, Niki , Yoongi and Hobi came to the water station. They were dripping of sweat as Lucia candidly asked them their preferred drinks.

Niki quickly stole a kiss from his girl and grab a cold bottle of water. Hobi and Yoongi looked super exhausted as they grabbed some from Lucia.

When Sully noticed Jimin coming toward the table, she quickly grab her phone out, looking absorbed on the screen. Sully made sure she sits a short distance away on a bench behind the water tables. Sully clearly looks  uninterested in engaging with anyone that moment —especially Jimin. Luckily Lucia and Maria were helping out.

Jimin came and leaned against the table in a very casual manner, a smirk grazing his lips, “I'm a little confuse but isn’t the new water girl supposed to be, you know, offering and handing out water to the tired players? Or are you on an extended break from pretending to be helpful, Sully?” His eyebrow lifted as he saw her looking more uninterested.

She just doesn’t look at him, but keeping her gaze firmly latched  on her phone, texting. Sully felt how her fingers tighten slightly around the her phone screen. Why is he bothering her. She  just refuses to give him the satisfaction of reacting to his sarcasm. Sully promised herself to stay away from this arrogant player.

Sully couldnt help but giving a super dry replyy, not bothering to look up,, “Dont you’ve got hands and feet? Walk over at the table and get water for yourself. I’m not your personal servant.” she finally looked up giving him a pointed glare. But Jimin snort a little when he saw her reaction of annoyance.

Hobi chuckled softly as he murmur," This is gonna be good!"

Niki chuckled,"It's gonna leave a mark!"

Yoongi who stood near was grinning,while sipping some of his water, “Ouch that sting! Someone’s does not seemed to be in the mood for your famous charm today, Jimin.” He chuckled a little.

Jimin just smirks picks up a ice cold water bottle, he twist the bottle cap lazily as if he had all the time in the world, but his eyes never broke eye contact with the narrowed icy glare of Sully. The guys were watching them with amusement. Jimin than seductively lick over his lips as he slowly but  exaggeratedly gulps down the water as droplets trailed down his neck making it impossible not to notice.

The glow of the sunlight catched on the droplets as Sully eyes betray her reaction for a split second, her bunny eyes started to widen, her body freezed as he breath hitched painfully in her chest. She pursed her lips, gulped and quickly looked away pretending to work on her phone  but Jimin already caught on her sudde reaction.

Sully felt the irritation even in her fingers.

Hobi nudged Yoongi discreetly as he whispered," Look at poor Sully...she is trying so hard not to combust into flames."

Niki smirk," Did she just---"

Lucia gave him a warning glare," Shush...just watched the drama--'

Jimin and Sully were totally oblivious at the amusing eyes of the rest watching them with interest.

Jimin looked at Sully with raised eyebrows ,his voice dripping with mock innocence, “Hmm something wrong, Sully-girl? You look a little… distracted.” His eyes had a teasing glint.

Sully just clenches her jaw but doesn’t respond.

Then Jimin place the empty bottle down with a soft thud as he grabs another bottle from the table without warning, unscrews the cap, and than tilts it over his damp hair. Water running down from his wet hair , down his face and neck soaking his  black shirt slightly, and then—without warning in a swift motion he tosses the half-empty bottle in Sully’s direction.

The water splashes Sully squarely in the face soaking her hair and a whole patch on her white t-shirt. Sullys' eyes widen horrified when she looked down realising that her white t-shirt became see through exposing her lacy nude colored bra. There was a shocked silence from the audience. Her wet hair strands cling to her face and arms.

She suddenly  jumped up shrieking as her arms desperately try to cover her chest," What the hell Jimin! Are you out of your mind." Her cheeks flushed crimson red of embarrassment and anger.

Jimin just bit his lip, as his eyes roam over her flushed face and than he burst out in a fit of laughter, clearly enjoying her reaction.

Sullys' eyes flashed dangerously into his beaming eyes," Oh my gosh! You are such an arrogant, childish, immature,egotistical bloody jerk...I swear---"

Jimin chuckled, shaking his wet strands backward," Oh you forgot to add charming. You looked a little too hot there.  Thought I’d help you cool off a bit."

Sully couldn't help but to throw him some colourful  insults in Korean at him, her voice was trembling with rage. Jungkook, standing nearby saw how her eyes were tearing up and, quickly grabs a towel and tosses it at her. Helping her regaining her dignity. He gave an unborthered Jimin a slight glare, "That wasn't very nice Jimin"

Lucia saw you distress," Yes, Jimin" she walked to Sully and hugged her around the shoulders.

Jungkook looked kindly at Sully,  “Here. Cover  yourself up”

Sully bow in a polite way showing her gratitude  as Lucia catches the towel, wrapping it quickly around Sully as she glares iced daggers at Jimin. He just chuckles, unfazed, and with a mocking wink  turning to leave.

Jimin with a mocking tone, “You’re welcome, Sully-girl. It will help to cool off that attitude, too.”

With that said, he grabbed a towel from Maria's table,  turns and strolled off in the direction of the locker rooms, following Yoongi and Hobi.  Yoongi shakes his head clearly amused, while Hobi tries to stifle his laughter in. Jimin could be so extra, his lucky Namjoon wasn't present.

Sully just continued to murmur some insults , her glare on the guys who strolled away. With a huffed and with suppressed anger picked up the crate with empty bottles and followed Maria to the staff room.

Yoongi looked side along to Jimin, “You’re definetly going to pay for that stunt. She’s not letting this go be warned if Namjoon gets back.”

Jimins' eyes were filled with mirth,  “It was totally worth it...the little stuck up queen” he murmur the last part as he wiped his face dry.

Yoongi just patted him on the back as they vanished into the locker rooms.

,.....

Lucia, Niki, and Jungkook who still stood one side  exchange knowing glances, their smirks were subtle asif they knew a secret.

Lucia whispering to Niki, “Did he really just unceremoniously threw water at her? Jimin is definitely trying to get under her skin. She was fuming----”

Niki shook his head grinning, “What ! Under her skin? He’s starting to live  there rent-free, and don't you guys think there is something going on there?" He frowned at them.

Jungkook shook his head,  “I think not knowing that they'll  falling for each soon. Now  that’s the fun part.”

Lucia looks calculating and say softly, “Jimin is so obvious, it’s almost embarrassing. watching him getting under her skin."

Niki grinned, “You can say that again. But it's  also kind of entertaining. It seemed the stage has been set for an enemy to lovers trope.”

Lucia just respond quietly, “Jimin is definitely going out of his way to mess with Sully. He wanted her to blow up."

Niki grinned, “Whether he was just messing with her or flirting with her? Because that was definetly not subtle.”

Lucia chuckle as she shoved her boyfriends shoulder.

Jungkook ckick his tongue, “I think someone’s got it real bad, and I’m not sure who’s worse—Jimin for flirting or Sully for reacting to his flirting and she wasn't even aware that he was flirting with her."

The others started to  chuckle, as they reminisced about Jimins' antics around poor Sully.
