Jimin's eye twitched.
Ara was kind of expecting an over reaction like this one, given that Jimin had now taken her under his wing and almost adopted her like a little sister (the other BTS boys too), so she wasn't super surprised that the day after Yeonjun's instagram post, he had walked straight to their finished practice and held both of them by the arms, yanking them towards his office and sitting them each on a chair.
"I need to know how it happened", Jimin had his arms crossed and was now pointedly looking at Yeonjun, who was clearly scared that Jimin might rip his head off with his bare hands.
"Oh, c'mon!", she mumbled and captured Jimin's attention. "It just sort of happened, oppa", she rolled her eyes. "I like him and he likes me, so then be it".
"I haven't given you my blessing".
"It's not like we're getting married, dummie", she joked but it was still true. "Can't you just please not look at him as if he'd killed your firstborn?"
"I just can't believe it", Jimin sighed.
"You're overreacting", she stated and got up, taking Yeonjun's hand in hers. "We are going to take a shower, you can come talk when you realize that you're being immature".
By the look of disbelief on Jimin's eyes, she knew she'd said something that would probably trigger Jimin to turn into the Hulk.
"Not together!", Yeonjun raised his arms and then Ara realized.
"You're unbelievable!!", she groaned and then yanked her boyfriend by the shirt towards their changing rooms. She had one separate from the boys, so she actually didn't even think about the implications of stating her and Yeonjun would shower.
"I hate everyone", she mumbled as she tried getting the password code to her dressing room correct.
"Yah, Ara", Yeonjun called and she looked up from the code pad, her eyes instantly softening by the heartwarming smile that tugged his lips.
"Yes, Yeonjun-ssi?", she pressed her shoulder on her door, the boy doing the same on the wall, both of them facing each other with cute little smiles.
"Can you say it again?", he asked and she tilted her head. "That you like me?"
She let out a breathy smile, her hand coming up to brush some hair off his forehead and then to caress his cheek.
"I like you a lot, Choi Yeonjun", she mumbled.
"Ah, I know", he replied and Ara smacked his arm.
"Yah!", just as she was about to rant to him for being a mood killer, he took her by the waist and got closer, sealing their interaction with a little kiss.
"I really like you too, cutie", he winked and then pressed the code for his dressing room, leaving the girl fazed.
She smiled softly, her fingers coming to her lips, and entered her dressing room, taking little time to undress and finally shower.
They'd been practicing over and over steps for their debut showcase (that was now only three weeks away), and she was sore all over. Luckily, Yeonjun kissed her stress away, and Beomgyu helped her release her stress by gaming together.
Speaking of which, they had a gaming session to record for their YouTube channel. Ever since they had been announced to debut, their videos as "gamers" had taken too much recognition, and fans had started to ask for them to upload more content.
"Hello!", Beomgyu banged on her door just as she was putting her hoodie on, her hair recently dried off and she opened it quickly, barely dodging a fist that was aimed towards the door.
"You almost punched me".
"I'm sure you kind of deserved it", he shrugged and she groaned, making him smile. "You ready for our gaming sesh?"
"Of course, just let me grab my things"
They made sure to plan their time so they had at least one day a week for them to hang out and play. They would sometimes play games such as snipper games or board games, but their ranges also included some barbie games or club penguin.
"How did it go with Jimin sunbaenim?", he asked as they started their computers.
"He literally looked as if he could kill Yeonjun", she scrunched her nose.
"Doesn't surprise me", he stated. "If Toto found a girlfriend, I would do a whole research on her uprisings and background", he shrugged.
"It is a bird".
"He's my son!", Beomgyu countered.
Suddenly, a knock on the door was heard and Beomgyu opened it, only to find the all almighty Bang Sihyuk with a nervous Jimin behind him.
"They're here to pick you up, girlie", he mumbled.
"Actually, it will be short, so can we come in?", the older man asked and Beomgyu could not deny him.
They were their slaves after all.
Bang Sihyuk took a seat on Beomgyu's chair, and turned to look at Ara.
"He snitched on us, didn't he?", she asked and the older man smiled.
"He did, but because he's worried", the man patted her hand that rested on the desk. "We will have to discuss this further, but you know that we already have a happy couple in the BTS band", he was referring to Hoseok and Taehyung. "Well, in order to make it work between you two, we will need to get some NDA's and discuss which things you are comfortable with. I expect you know this relationship cannot become a public matter, not now that you're so close to debuting and not ever".
"Ever?"
"Those things we will discuss tomorrow in a meeting. First thing in the morning, seven", he stated, patted her hand again softly, and marched away.
Once the man left, Jimin looked so sorrowful that Ara could not be angry at him.
"You're worse than a little brother!", she whined and he shrugged cutely, trying to get on her good side. "Ugh, I hate you".
"I know! I am so, so, so, so sorry", he took Beomgyu's sit again, and the boy looked super offended. "It's just that we need to protect you, I need to protect you", he added.
"I expect a gucci bag after this", she joked.
"Yeah! Tell me which"
"No, Jimin", she felt her cheeks burn up and he giggled, engulfing her in a hug. "I just need you to be there, please?", she looked up to catch his eye and he nodded.
"Of course, little one", he hugged her a little longer and then walked around the place. "This is amazing".
"Yeah, right?", Beomgyu stated. "That's Ara's and that's my seat", he pointed towards the empty chair.
"You wanna join?", she asked and Jimin gasped.
"Can I?"
"Yeah, take a seat next to me and we can arrange that third computer for you", she smiled and Beomgyu did too.
At least he would have his seat all for himself.
