Sweetness

The first time

"Jimin I want you to escort Jeon Jungkook on his next tour"
"Me sir?"
"Yes ....I know you won't be pulled into the disruption that seems to attach itself to him when he goes....I want this tour to be recognised for his singing talent not the people who ended up in his room,I want you to remember you represent this agency...keep him focused"
"But I'm just a behind the scenes guy,a co ordinator,I'm usually on the computer setting schedules revising plans......."
'Your sensible your not bothered by fame I'm sure you'll be just the person to whip him into shape.....stop his.....antics"
"Jin ......from what I hear he does what he wants...." Jimin murmured to his boss and friend.
"Jimin.....you've hidden away for long enough time to get out in the real world"
Jimin pouted...he knew Jin meant well but he was happy doing what he did,anonomous in the background making things work.
"I like what I do..." he persisted
Jin sighed...." Jimin when we first met you were vibrant,outgoing then......well you just .....disappeared inside yourself after the accident"
"I just realised that one door had closed and another opened."
"Jimin just because you can't dance like you did doesn't mean you hide away...."
"Jin....I was going to be a star....I had a future....which was taken away from me......nobody wants a dancer who's got a limp and can't guarantee their performance.....so I chose my back up using my organisation skills.....I'm ok with it"
"Your limp is barely noticeable....but I realise dancing could enhance it,your skilled here and I want to utilise those skills,your calmness may rub off on him,he's talented but draws a fine line between ok and over the edge."
"So you want me to babysit him?"
Jin smiled" yes.....I think you'll do him the world of good"
Jimin sighed" ok,when do I meet him?"
"I've arranged for him to come here at ten,we can all talk then"
Jimin nodded then left to go to his own office shutting the door and flicking his computer on soon involved in spreadsheets,queries and other aspects of Jin's agency,so engrossed that when his desk phone buzzed he jumped then picked it up.
"Jimin? It's ten why aren't you here?"
"Oh right sorry I was just setting up Linc's travelling plans,I'll come right away."
He saved his work and hurried to Jin's .
Knocking on the door he walked in to see Jin sitting in a leather chair and a figure sprawling opposite him on a sofa.
"Ah Jimin come in this is Jungkook"
Jimin looked to see the handsome man he recognised from photographs looking at him irritated .
"Nice of you to get here some of us have things to do"
Jimin blinked then spoke.
"Your right sorry for my tardiness but as you say I had something to do too the agency doesn't revolve around just you"
Jin hid a smile as Jungkook gaped.
"Shall we begin? Jungkook ...Jimin will be accompanying you on this tour"
"Him? Why"
"Just to make things run smoothly"
"I don't need a babysitter and he looks like he knows nothing about the business is he just out of school?"
"I'm older than you and who do you think sets up your schedules and fixes the......disturbances you cause"
Jungkook frowned,older ?this guy looked like a kid and he'd thought he'd be easy to put him in his place.
"As I said I don't need a babysitter"
"I disagree do you realise how much you cost the company with your selfish antics? The amount of money we pay out for shutting down some of your questionable deeds?"
"I make enough money for this place a little bit of fun is a miniscule dent in the finances"
"Are you a child? Do you not realise it's not all about you it's this companies reputation to....a babysitter is exactly what you need"
Jungkook hadn't had anybody talk to him like that since he was a child yet this short admittedly handsome male stood there looking down on him just because he liked fun?"
"Jin....your going to let him talk to me like that?"
"Actually I agree with him......I'm not adverse to fun Jungkook but your gonna get in trouble with these flirtations what if someone ends up pregnant?"
"No way I'm careful.....and it's not limited to females,spread the love right?"
Jin sighed while Jimin muttered something.
"What's that shorty?"
Jimin pursed his lips counting to ten before he spoke.
"I said what a dick and don't call me that"
"You really should be nicer to me,I help pay your wages...go and get me a coffee will you I'm dying of thirst"
The idol smirked.
"There's a machine in the staff area get your own"
"But aren't you supposed to be taking care of me?"
"No ...I'm just supposed to be making sure you don't forget fame can be lost as easily as it's acquired"
"As if a little pen pusher would know anything about fame......you don't know how hard it is to get to the top to fight for recognition what have you ever fought for in your nine til five job,do you even know the hours it takes to get somewhere?"
"Jungkook!" Jin shouted as he saw Jimin unconciously rub his leg.
"I'll get back to my office Jin I'm sure you can relay details to him..." Jimin gave a polite smile walking to the door his limp more pronounced suddenly.
"Jimin........" Jin started trying to stop the memories he knew would start filling the others head.
Jimin just shook his head slightly and left.
Jungkook sprawled back in the chair nodding to himself,yep he'd put that pen pusher in his place.
"You little bastard I feel like stopping your contract right now!" Jin said his tone icy in a way Jungkook had never heard before.
"What.....it's true what I said.....when has he ever had to push himself to the limits...he'll never understand."
"Listen you arrogant prick....Jimin knows more than most what it's like to spend hours a day practising pushing to get his dues just to have it taken away in an instant!"
Jungkook frowned,"what do you mean?"
"Shit....I've said more than i should...it's Jimins story to tell not mine.......he will be there keeping an eye on you and I hope you'll have the decency to try and behave,final details will be sent over tomorrow "
Jin stood up,Jungkook could see that he wasn't his usual calm self.
"You care about him don't you?"
"I've known him a long time,he's always had my back"
Jungkook frowned"but there's more to it?"
Jin nodded" he gave me the courage to start this company when I doubted myself"
"So that's why he works with you?"
"Sort of...anyway,I need to get on...try and be the nice human I know you can be not the jerk you like to act"
"I'll do my best,be seeing you"
Jungkook left waving to the office staff then going down in the lift,his bodyguard immediately stood up from the seat he'd been waiting on accompanying Jungkook outside to a waiting car.
"Mr Lee you really didn't have to come today Jin's building is safe"
"Just doing the job I'm paid for" he made sure Jungkook got in the back of the car before going in the front with the driver.
Once they had driven off Jungkook took his phone out pressing a number.
"Hey Hobi,can you or Yoongi look up something for me?
A person Park Jimin works for the company.....no I don't fancy him....hes got a stick up his ass...no stick! So self righteous it's boring and Jin wants him on my tour....no as a babysitter! What do you mean I need babysitting! What's he look like.....small slim pouty lips......what? No  it can't be the one you knew.....he what?Send a picture................yes that's him?why is he working in an office if he's this amazing dancer........what?shit......well yer I may have erm been a bit....hasty in saying something to him...well how was I suppose to know,you've never mentioned him before...?JP........he's JP!!!?fuck now I feel like a piece of shit...what,no seems like he's been working here for a while.....he doesn't? No I won't shout my mouth of again he just annoyed me.....now I feel like a total dick....ok thanks I'll be in touch."
Jungkook clicked his phone off his leg started bouncing on its own a habit he had when uncertain or stressed.
JP he remembered Hobi speaking of him years ago,this prodigy...an amazing dancer who was known for being a favourite in music videos elegant,sexy and as flexible as hell...agencies were offering exorbitant amounts to sign him then nothing........he'd disappeared a statement announcing he'd no longer be dancing and that was it.
Hobi being a fan and old friend and a private investigator had found out Jimin had been in a car accident,swerving to miss a child who had run out into the road totalling his car and damaging his leg.Hobi said Jimin had shut down information as he didn't want the child's parents to be hounded and then he'd just faded away,Hobi had tried keeping in touch but it seemed Jimin had shut off his old life so he'd honoured his privacy and stopped trying to contact him.
And he had been so full of it when he'd told Jimin he had no idea what it was like to get where he was......when had he become such a douchebag.........he needed to repair the damage he'd done starting with.....
Jimin looked up as the knock came at his office door exactly one hour after the Jungkook confrontation.
"Mr Park a delivery for you" Rosa the receptionist smiled.
"For me?"
He looked at the massive bouquet she placed on his desk. He pulled out six of the creamy coloured roses handing them to her.
"Here these will look nice on your desk there's a vase in the staff room "
She smiled delighted and left.
Jimin studied the gift it was so large you didn't even notice the six missing flowers .
He leaned in sniffing their glorious scent and spotted a card.
He took it out reading it in shock.
"First impressions should create lasting impressions,forgive my big mouth and jerk attitude,I hope we can get along....Jungkook"
He'd be lying if he said the idols attitude hadn't got his back up especially about not knowing hard work so this was a total surprise but Jimin with a kind hearted soul and tried to find the good in everyone.
"Maybe he was having an off day" he murmured to himself in relief,admitting to himself that his own reaction hadn't been his normal easy style...he usually got on well with those he came into contact with.
He sat down his smile more natural now as if he meant it and he carried on his work delighting in the subtle fragrance that now filled his office.
Where dread had been at accompanying Jungkook now a quiver of excitement loitered something he hadn't felt in years.
Little did he know that day started the change in his life.
