3rd person's POV
Jimin was so nervous that he already changed his clothes for the sixth time. He keeps on going back and forth. Every outfit he chooses still feels lacking. It is either too stylish, too shabby, too loose, or too tight for him. It just never feels right.
In the end, he chose to wear a simple white t-shirt and blue tight jeans with his black boots. He looked at himself in his bathroom mirror one last time, checking his light make up he put on himself and his black hair that he styled. He applied some cherry lip balm and proceeded towards the door of their mansion, ignoring the greetings from their bodyguards.
After almost 15 minutes of walking towards the said Montana Cafe, Jimin cautiously entered and he was greeted by a waitress.
"Good morning Sir, where would you want to take your seat?" The waitress asked him with a smile.
"I-I am actually meeting with someone-"
"He's with me." A voice told from his side and when Jimin looked towards the direction of the voice, he met the gaze of Yoongi who was already smiling at him with his gummy smile. He is wearing a black T-shirt with a black jacket over it and some black jeans that matched with his black shoes. Jimin was just standing there looking at him in awe. His cheeks are in heat as well as his palms. He can't even spare him a glance.
The waitress nodded and Yoongi guided him in their table to sit. Jimin was fidgeting with his fingers on top of the table, consistently biting his lower lip and looking down on his feet.
"I'm sorry if this is too far from your place." Yoongi said with worry in his voice. Jimin shot his head up and quickly shakes his head.
"No! Um...D-Don't worry, I walk here too on the way to school." Lies...Jimin needs to take a long route just to get there but he wouldn't say that he doesn't want Yoongi to feel bad so he lied.
"That's good then. We could go here often." Jimin looked at him to see if Yoongi was just joking but the older just smiled at him making him blush even more.
"O-Okay." Jimin mumbled shyly, but deep inside he wants to scream in glee. Yoongi indirectly asked him to go with him to the cafe next time and he can't wait for that to happen.
Jimin thought that they would be alone but little did he know, Jungkook was there too. In fact, he is walking towards their table with their coffees in his hand. Jimin got shocked when he sensed the latter's presence when the male sat beside Yoongi. He still remembered that incident that happened at the library, he was now hoping that the latter won't remember him even though they've met each other's gazes!
"Jungkook, this is Park Jimin. He's the one from the Broadcasting club I'm telling you about." Yoongi introduced him as Jimin tries to somehow hide his face by looking down. Jungkook passed Jimin the coffee they ordered for him.
"It's nice to meet you." Jungkook smiled as he remembers Jimin's face. "Although we've met last Friday already." He continued and Jimin wants to bury his face inside his shirt. The younger remembers him and that means that he also knows that he's been spying on them that time.
"You know him?" Yoongi asked confused whilst he sips on his coffee, taking a good glance at Jungkook and Jimin.
"Not really, I saw him at the library while um...reading a book. That is you, am I right? " He smiled at Jimin as the embarrassed one nodded shyly.
Jimin doesn't get why Jungkook lied and told Yoongi that he's just reading a book when he saw him when he is basically peeping that time. He is thankful though, who knows of what Yoongi might think if he knew.
"What are you doing at the library? I never knew you liked books." Yoongi asked Jungkook.
"I wasn't reading, I was outside. A girl confessed to me and somehow I...I rejected her. I'm worried though...what if she's still hurt hyung...Y-You know how much I hate hurting some else's feelings." Jungkook was about to cry as his eyes look teary like last time. He plays with his fingers on the table whilst looking down.
Yoongi sighed and he soothes Jungkook by rubbing the younger's back. This always happens whenever Jungkook rejects someone's confession but Yoongi is well aware that it's not Jungkook's fault if he doesn't feel the same way towards them. This happens often and Yoongi pities Jungkook for being too popular.
"I-It's not your fault." Jungkook looked at Jimin who talked shyly. "Y-You don't have to blame yourself if you don't f-feel the same way."
Jungkook was silenced at first but he soon gave Jimin a genuine smile. "Thank you Jimin-ssi."
They talked for a while, trying to get comfortable with each other little by little. They discussed Yoongi's chosen song for the Monday song later and they soon walk to school together.
So far, Jimin did not feel out of place like he was expecting. Yoongi is cool and he shared his passion for making music. Jungkook, on the other hand, is very talkative and he often makes jokes whilst they are on their way. He often expresses his jokes with his body making both Yoongi and Jimin burst out in laughter.
They parted ways in the hallway when Jungkook was again surrounded by the girls. Yoongi and Jimin proceeded to the Broadcasting club's room so they could transfer Yoongi's playlist. Jimin was expecting Jin to be there because he always arrives first but today, the older was nowhere to be found.
He planned this!
Jimin was overthinking right now. Yoongi is beside him looking around the room so he decided to just drag him inside the broadcasting station so they could start with his introduction.
"Woah, this is cool. Do you always do your broadcast here?" Yoongi asked whilst playing with the microphone Jimin used for years.
"Y-Yeah...T-This is my station." Jimin blushed.
Yoongi suddenly closed the door and it made Jimin's eyes widened. Yoongi sensed that Jimin felt uncomfortable so he spoke.
"You wouldn't want to make them hear unnecessary sounds from outside noises don't you?" Jimin's heartbeat was beating so fast, he was thinking something different and he shakes his head in embarrassment. He sat on his chair whilst he transferred Yoongi's files on his laptop to make it easier for him to have access to his playlist. But the file he was trying to look for seemed too hard to find because Yoongi's hard drive has so many files in it.
"I'm sorry but I can't-" Jimin's breath hitched when he felt Yoongi's hands brushed against his hand when the older grabbed the mouse from him. The older's arms caged his shoulders, his chest pressed against his back and their faces are too close because of their position.
"That's weird, I'm sure I placed it in here." Yoongi is scrolling through the screen, not knowing that his body was too close to Jimin that he's making him uncomfortable even more. He was too focused on finding his files.
Jimin can't breathe, every time Yoongi mumbles something, his body shivers because Yoongi's voice goes directly in his ears. His face is in a deep heat but he can't move! How could he move in that position!
"Found it!" When the song started playing for the school's Monday playlist, Yoongi smiled and when his breath suddenly fanned on Jimin's neck, the younger totally lost it.
"I-I have to go somewhere b-but I'll come back!" Jimin ran outside feeling suffocated. He knows that if he stayed there longer his heart would rip out of his rib cage. He felt happy whilst he ran outside on the hallways not knowing where his feet would drag him. He's just running...almost flying because of too much happiness.

Jimin's POV
I walked home with lightness in my heart. I just feel so happy that I get to spend my day with Yoongi, the man whom I surely want and like. I decided to go home early and not read a book today in the library so I could tell Jin-hyung about the news.
"He would surely be happy to hear this! Even though that bitch did not even go inside the club room!" I stomped my feet and walked upstairs, ready to knock on Jin-hyung's door but my feet stopped automatically when I heard my father's voice.
"How dare you decide on what is right for Jimin and what is not?!" My father growled and when I peeped inside the slightly opened door, I saw Jin-hyung talking with him.
What the hell is happening?
"He needs to know about this before it gets worse. Mr. Park...he could be in danger. I know that and you know it too." Jin-hyung told whilst lowering his head.
"You know that I won't let him know about this. If keeping this secret from him would guarantee his safety, I would keep this in my grave until my last breath."
"How could you be so sure that he would be safe?"
"We have our clan, they are here to protect and there's nothing to worry about. Jimin doesn't need to get involved." Why are they talking about me?
"He is already involved the moment he was born in this family. Your blood runs in his veins and this life would be his someday. You can't help it, Mr. Park."
"I've told you...Jimin doesn't need to know about this."
"That is bullshit! Keeping Jimin naive about everything wouldn't make him safe!" My eyes widened in shock. Jin-hyung never shouts to my Dad, he respects him a lot. He would never do that and making him do it now must have meant that something's wrong. And I'm not liking this one bit. My father doesn't even look happy at this moment. He looks taken aback too at how Jin-hyung shouted at him.
"That's enough Jin, this discussion is over."
"You're just afraid that he won't accept you anymore! You are afraid of your own doings! Afraid of the consequences! Afraid that he might know the real monster that you truly are and hates you for that-" I heard a painful slap that echoed through the whole room. I witnessed how my father slapped Jin-hyung who is already in small tears. But he still managed to look at my father.
I want to go inside, ask them why they are fighting and what secret they keep on talking about. But I was too afraid to even move my feet.
"I SAID ENOUGH!!" It made my whole body shiver in fear. I have never heard my father shout in that way. He is always composed and formal. But right now...I heard someone different. He doesn't sound like my father.
"You killed tons of people..." And that's when my heart sank. I want to wake up if this is a dream, please let this be a nightmare.
"We...killed tons of people. And I can't...I can't even look at Jimin in the eyes anymore. H-He sees me as his older brother and I know that he respects me. I know what you feel Mr. Park, I know that you're afraid of the fact that he might hate you if he knows that he's been living with murderers who kill for protection and reputation. But I am too...I'm afraid to lose him too."
I didn't notice the tears that are crawling down my cheeks. I am so hurt but more than anything...I feel betrayed.
All my life I have never thought that they could do such a thing. And Jin-hyung...I trust him so much but he lied to me about everything. He kept this secret for I don't know how long but fuck it! I don't care anymore and I hate them!
The door suddenly opened and I met my father's gaze who was shocked to see me.
"J-Jiminie? What are you...What are you doing here?" I wiped my tears with the back of my hand as I looked at him in disgust and hatred.
"I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU! BOTH OF YOU! GO DIE IN HELL!" I shouted before I ran outside our mansion crying. I heard Jin-hyung calling for me but I never tried to look back. My heart is in so much pain that I'm not even sure if I could still look at him in the eyes after this.
Jin-hyung lied.
My father lied.
And the hatred in my veins tells me.
They are just murderers to me now.
