“Jaeminie,” Seokjin called. “What is this mark on your wrist?” He concerned, pointing at his reddish wrist.
Jaemin gulped, pulling his hand back. He can’t tell them. It could put them in trouble.
“Did something happened?” Yoongi also appeared beside him.
“No, hyung. I accidentally burned my hand, while lightening the candle.” Jaemin lied. It was a half truth though. He got burned, but not from candle nor was it accidental, it was done by someone intentionally.
“Did you applied medicine on it?” Seeing Jaemin shook his head, Seokjin bring out some herbs and applied it on his wrist. “You should have informed me about it. Don’t hurt yourself.”
Smiling Jaemin nodded his head. He ignored Yoongi’s suspicious gaze.
He was glad it’s just the two of them. If others were here, they would never let him go without telling truth.
But for now, it’s best for all of them to not know the truth. If they know it will trouble them. Jaemin really don’t want that to happen. Just as much they wants to protect him, he also want to protect them.
So, it’s best to not involve them in this matter.
After two days, Jaemin wrote each letter to his father and brother. They went to another kingdom, regarding their priestly duty. Won’t be back by next week. But Jaemin wasn’t sure he can hold on till then.
He can’t involve his lovers in the royal matters. They all are just dancers in the court. If they turned against the royals, there is no way they can live peacefully.
But his father and brother are respected figures in the royal court, even though no one knew his relation to them. They will be able to help him without getting punishment. Only they can help him from this danger.
Not only from the King, but also from her. If it goes on like this, one day he will lost his body or his soul.
So before something like that happens, Jaemin decided to inform it to his father and brother. Only they can save him.
Now he could only wait for them to receive the letter and come back to help him. So till then he have to hold on.
“Mind telling me, what’s going on?” Bora sat on the couch in Jimin’s bedroom. Wonhee sitting beside her with that apologetic smile on his face.
Jimin wanted to punch him for revealing his secret. But now he can’t do anything, but explain everything to Bora.
“I will tell you. But you have to promise me you won’t let anyone know about it.” Jimin replied, placing the book on his bedside table.
“Okay, a fourth person wouldn’t know about it. I promise. Now tell me what’s going on?” Bora agreed.
Jimin cast a glance towards Wonhee. The older man know some of the things, but doesn’t completely know what’s going on. But he still helped Jimin to find the book, so he didn’t want to send him off.
“It’s that, when we first arrived here…” Jimin started explaining everything from the dreams he had and how met the six people to how Wonhee helped him to find the book in library.
Bora and Wonhee listened to him attentively. Bora seemed amazed by the information. But Wonhee still looks like he already knew about all this.
Jimin don’t know what to do about it. Should he still doubt Wonhee even after he helped him to get that book? Isn’t it ungrateful? Or is there any reason why he helped him?
Shaking his head, he looked towards Bora, who seemed lost in thoughts.
“It’s all are like a drama.” She spoke after a while. “I can’t believe it’s real.”
“Exactly. That’s why I didn’t tell you.” Jimin reasoned.
“But still you shouldn’t have went there alone. What if something happened to you?” She send a stern glare towards Jimin. “You should have at least inform me about it.”
“I am sorry. But now that the book is here, we don’t have to worry about it. I will soon help them from there.” Jimin said determinedly.
“Can I meet them?” Bora asked.
“No, I will let you see them when they are out of there. For now it’s best to not-” before Jimin could finish a knock heard from the door.
Who is at this time? What someone want from him at this early morning.
Jimin looked at Bora and Wonhee confused which mirrored in their face.
Sighing, Jimin went towards the door and opened it, to find Yejun standing outside. “Yes.” Jimin smiled politely.
“I am here to call you for breakfast.” Jimin’s eyes widened. It’s already time for breakfast? “I went to Mr. Hwang’s room too. But he was not there. And your manager also didn’t show up. So, I am here to check up on you.” Yejun answered.
“Oh, we are sorry. They are here. We will be there in few minutes. Thank you for checking on us.” With that Jimin closed the door on his idol’s face. His heart pained to do so, but he can’t afford to let the another person know about the secret.
“Go to your room and get ready. We are already late for breakfast.” Jimin instructed as he made his way towards bathroom to get fresh.
Jimin looked up at director Lee who was looking at him expectantly.
The situation is, Director Lee wants to try some new strategy to increase show’s popularity. And for that, he wants Jimin to pretend like him and Yejun is having something going on, which Jimin really didn’t want to do that.
But according to the Director Lee, him and his idol are one of the most shipped idols in the industry, because of his well know idolizing of Yejun. And also fan services are normal when you are an idol.
“Even Mr. Yejun agreed to do it. Can’t you please corporate. It will increase the popularity of the show. And we already have some of your moment to add in to the show.” The middle aged man said, and showed him some video clips from the shooting.
First one was the time when Jimin and Yejun fell holding on to each other. From the camera it really looks intimating. More than that, Jimin smiled after that. It clearly looks like he is crushing on his idol.
The second video was when Yejun helped him to wear his mic properly. In that video also they looked so close.
Others are from behind the scenes video, and most of them included Yejun peeling shrimps for him, or shared his food with him, or when they giggled with each other. There is that video too where he gift him the diffuser. It all really looks like there something going on between them.
Jimin didn’t realize, they have already a lot of ship worthy moments, that’s why Director is trying this strategy.
But that’s not what caught Jimin’s attention. Between all this lifting the curse in his mind, he didn’t noticed how Yejun looks at him. In most of the videos that man’s eyes are on him. If it was any other time, Jimin would have blushed. But now that he is developing a tiny crush for his past life lovers, it feels creepy and uncomfortable to find someone looking at him like that.
Does Yejun have feelings for him? If don’t, why did he agreed to fan service? What’s going on?
“Director Lee, I am really not interested in fan service. From what I have heard, ‘Idol escape’ is already a popular show. And the promo we have released, have already received good reaction from the audience. So I think we don’t need to do more for popularity.” Jimin answered calmly. “And about senior Yejun, I will talk to him. Maybe, there is some misunderstandings.”
“Oh, okay.” Director Lee answered, not meeting his eyes.
With that he walked away lots of questions running through his mind.
“What did he talk to you that he wanted to see you in private?” Bora asked as soon as Jimin came out of Mr. Lee’s room.
“He wants me and Senior Yejun to give shipping materials.” Jimin rolled his eyes.
Bora frowned. “Then what did you say?”
“Of course, no.” Jimin answered nonchalantly. “But what is bugging me is, Senior agreed to do it.”
“What?” Bora’s eyes widened in shock. “Let me tell you, he really do have a crush on you.” She giggled.
“Whatever.” Jimin huffed and walked away. “It doesn’t matter anyway.”
“Exactly, you have six past life lovers waiting for you after all.” Bora teased following him.
“Yejun is not good for you.” Jimin jumped hearing a voice from his other side. He turned to find Wonhee standing there with a serious look. His usually playful side is nowhere to see.
“How do you know?” Jimin crossed arms on his chest, rising one of his eyebrow in question.
“I just have a feeling.” The older male shrugged. “Stay away from him.”
“I will think about it, if you stay away from Noona.” Jimin raised his chin, challenging him.
They both glanced at each other, their cheeks turning light pink at the eye contact.
“Then do whatever you want.” With that Wonhee walked away, the blush on Bora’s cheeks deepening at the reply.
“Just like that?” Jimin raised his eyebrows, to which Bora rolled her eyes and followed Wonhee, making Jimin stand there dumbfounded.
Yoongi stared at the tiny figure in front of him, who sat on the wooden floor cross legged with the big book on his lap. He was flipping through the pages with full concentration, a tiny pout on his lips, which will deepen whenever he is confused. It was adorable.
To all the people, especially his lovers who calls Yoongi kitten haven’t realized, the real kitten is the their youngest lover. More like a mix of puppy and kitty, if he say.
“You are smiling.” Hoseok nudged his shoulder with a teasing smile.
Yoongi cleared his throat, feeling embarrassed. He rarely smile like that, that too when he feels too fond of his lovers. Other than he prefers neutral face, not showing any emotions. It’s just became a habit of his.
But seeing Jimin so cute and confused, he couldn’t help but wants to wrap him in a blanket and hide him away from all of his problems.
“I think you should tell me what happened after.” Jimin spoke up after an hour of searching the book. He looks more tired than he usually do. The dark circles more evident these days.
“If you want, you can sleep like you did yesterday. We will wake you up when you are to go.” Taehyung suggested.
Yoongi know what Taehyung is thinking. Just like previous day, he wanted to watch Jimin sleep peacefully. According to him, Jimin sleeps like an angel and he likes to watch him sleep. No one can deny that fact. And more to that, he looks so tired. Tired than he usually is.
“Why do you say so? Am I looking ugly?” Jimin asked, his eyes wide.
“No, he didn’t mean it like that. You are one of the most beautiful person exist.” Jungkook answered.
A red tint appeared on Jimin’s cheeks and his eyes widened. He cleared his throat as if to avoid awkwardness.
“Taehyungie meant, you looks sleepy.” Seokjin said breaking the awkward silence.
“No, I am okay. But now I would like to hear what happened next. Please.” Jimin showed his puppy eyes and they all melted at the sight.
“Okay then, I will continue from where we stopped yesterday.” Namjoon said.
Earning a nod from Jimin, Namjoon continued telling the worst experience of their life.
