Book Exchange Romance | A Kim Namjoon FanFic

Chapter 23 - Jimin

"Noona..." Jimin heard Jungkook said. He turned to look at her and noticed the change in her face. She looked sad, and that broke his heart. She turned around and left. "Noona..." Jungkook said, going after her but Cristina stood in front of him, shaking her head.

"Don't." She said. "She needs to cool down." She said. "Her mind is running wild right now, and with Namjoon gone, she is probably doubting everything. She's overthinking. Let her go and walk." She said. "She'll be fine." She said. "She's going to walk around Central Park and then go back to the hotel." Cristina said, as if knowing Ana too well. That impressed Jimin.

"I don't like this." Jin said. "I have a bad feeling about this. Why would Dispatch do something like this?" He said. "They had no right." He said mad. "Now Ana won't be at peace and she and Namjoon won't be able to be normal, whatever that was with them." He said. "I'm calling her." Jin said, getting his phone out and dialing her. He hanged up frustrated.

"I'm sure Ana would be fine hyung." Yoongi said. "Big Hit will get to the bottom of it. They will find out what happened." He said.

"She looked so sad." Hobi said.

"She did." Taehyung said. "She looked heartbroken." He said, sighing. Jimin looked over at Cristina who looked confused.

"Guys, I think we should talk in English." Jimin said, looking at everyone. They all looked at him confused. He tilted his head towards Cristina.

"Ah!" Yoongi exclaimed, after he understood what he meant. "We basically said that we don't understand why something like this happened and that we hope Ana is fine." He said looking at Cristina. Cristina nodded.

"It's Ana, she will be okay." She said. "She's been through worse." Cristina said, shrugging. "She's tough. She has thick skin. Don't worry too much about her." She said. That calmed Jimin a bit. "I should head home." Cristina said.

"What? Why?" Jungkook asked her.

"Ana is not here." She said shrugging. "I will see you guys at dinner." She said, turning around and leaving. For some reason, Jimin didn't wanted her to go. He picked his satchel bag, put his mask and sunglasses on and went after her, his bodyguard following close behind. She was talking on the phone. She was hanging up when he approached her.

"Wait." He said, as she was reaching the gates to exit the park. She turned around, surprised.

"What?" She asked him confused.

"Why are you leaving?" He asked her, trying his best to speak English even though he didn't know much. "Ana said you were going to hang around with us during the day." He told her. Cristina smiled.

"Yeah, but she is not here." She said shrugging.

"So?" He asked her in Korean. She looked at him confused. "I'm sorry." He said, looking down at the floor. "Just because..." He started to say but couldn't remember how to say the rest in English. He turned to his bodyguard, Kyung-Ho, and looked at him. "How can I communicate with her? Can you translate?" Jimin asked him. The bodyguard smiled and nodded. "Tell her that just because Ana is not here, it doesn't mean she can't hang out with us." He told his bodyguard. The bodyguard repeated what he said to her. She looked down at the floor and smiled. She looked at him and put a finger in the air, signaling for him to wait. She got her phone out from her purse and browsed through it. She started to type something. She looked at him and showed him her phone. She had opened a translation app and typed her reply.

'Yeah, but you guys are not obliged to hang out with me just because I'm her friend.' She replied to him. He shook his head and grabbed the phone from her. He switched the languages and spoke to the phone.
