Chapter 28

Taehee's POV Jimin pulled away, I could tell my face was pretty flustered right now. My cheeks were heating up and an embarrassed feeling filled my gut.

Without hesitation a Jimin laughed at my reaction and pulled me into his chest. "You're so adorable." He exclaimed as I buried my face deeper into his chest, unable to face him properly.

I pulled away with a slight pout on my face and sat down in Taehyung's bed. Jimin followed and sat down next to me.

"S-since we're a c-couple should we set some rules?" I suggested, stammering since I was utterly embarrassed and flustered.

Taehee get it together!

Jimin chuckled and nodded. "Rule one, we have to trust each other 100%. That means you have to stop assuming I like Hoseok when I don't." I pointed a finger up, Jimin nodded. "Same goes to you. Because I'm not dating Jinae."

I smiled, crossed my arms and nodded, agreeing with him. "Rule number two, you can't be commanding nor overly obsessed with each other." I stated, Jimin raised his eyebrow before dropping them. "Rule number three, Kim Taehee needs to at least show her affection for Park Jimin by a kiss or hug."

My cheeks flared as I hit Jimin's arm, "I-idiot!" Jimin laughed and allowed me to abuse his arm.

"Jagiya stop hitting me!" I froze and my face turned even more red, if that was even possible. I clenched my fist tightly but barely skimmed Jimin's arm.

Jimin smirked triumphantly and pulled me into his lap. I struggled but he snaked his arms around my torso and securely buried his head in the nape of my neck. "Since I'm you're first boyfriend how about I grant all your dating dreams?"

My eyes sparked for a moment and I completely forgot about the awkward position we were in.

"I want to exchange neck ties!" Our school had girls wear red ties while boys wore blue. Many couples exchange their neckties which I would admit, made me quite envious. Jimin chuckled at my sudden burst of energy and excitement. "Anything else?"

I tapped my finger on my cheek, pressing it into my skin. "There is one thing..." I said, trailing my words. A smile became apparent on Jimin's face as he waited patiently for me to continue. But I didn't say a word nor move even the slightest. There was an uncomfortable silence between the two of us and it stayed like that until Jimin decided to speak up.

"Taehee I can't grant it for you if you don't tell me what it is," Jimin said, now showing any signs of amusement. He narrowed his eyes further as my shy frown deepened.

Jimin pushed my chin up so I looked at him but I averted my eyes away from his. "For my birthday, at midnight I want you to kiss me." I said, muttering the last part as quietly as I could. A smirk formed on Jimin's lips as he squeezed me even tighter, "I'll kiss you as much as you want."

Well now, this surely caught me beyond surprised.

"P-pervert."

Jimin puckered his lips and leaned in to peck me on the lips once again. I was caught off guard and touched my lips straight away. Jimin showed off his boyish grin and I pouted.

Suddenly, an ominous presence appeared behind us. "All happy couples should die."

I along with Jimin, flinched as Taehyung made a sudden appearance. I took Jimin's vulnerable moment to break free of his grip around my waist. I got off his lap but incidentally landed on the floor instead of the bed.

Taehyung helped me up by lending a hand. I crawled onto the bed and the three of us sat in a circle on Taehyung's bed. I took notice of the red hand mark on Taehyung's face that was swelling up.

"Hey V, are you alright? You look like you just got slapped." Jimin asked as he also eyed Taehyung's cheek.

A bitter smile played on Taehyung's lips as he brushed his cheek. "Let's just say playing chase with a tiger isn't the safest nor smartest thing in the world to do." The mood died from there on until I decided to lighten up the mood a little.

"Um Oppa and I got together." I grinned as Jimin nodded vigorously. Taehyung looked blankly at Jimin, "you better not make her cry again." He threatened.

Jimin put his hand over his chest, "I promise."

Despite the heavy atmosphere being created by Taehyung, I couldn't help but feel excited. "So should we pack up all of Taehee's stuff here so she can move back in-" Jimin suggested as he stood up. I shook my head, cutting him off and held his arm back from doing anything unnecessary. "No way. Seokjin's making naengmyeon, fried chicken and bulgogi today!"

Jimin pulled his face into an unimpressed expression. "You rather chose food over your boyfriend, brother and friend."

I cracked a teasing smirk and nodded. Jimin raised an eyebrow at me.

"Not the best way to start a new relationship."

"No you're taking my daughter away from me! Even if she is a snorty, brat! And I don't accept the fact she's dating an idiot like you!" Seokjin exclaimed as he pointed accusingly at Jimin. He stepped in between me and the suitor, pushing me so that I was dwarfed by Jin's domineering presence. "You're taking away my Taehee's innocence like that." Seokjin gritted his teeth as Jimin ran his hand through his hair.

Jimin swiftly pulled me from behind Seokjin and pulled me into a back-hug. "Too late hyung." Jimin sneered as the latter rubbed his cheek against mine. I was nervous for the poor boy, but he had it coming since he somehow thought stealing me away would work, despite hurting me a few times.

"Yah Yeobo! Your daughter and a nosy, loud kid-" Jimin stuck his tongue out, "Future son in law." He corrected Seokjin. Seokjin shot Jimin a nasty glare. "Shut up." He gritted through his teeth.

Despite being the middle of a war, I was stuck on Jimin's words. 'Future son in law', that was kind of like a proposal right?

No I was reading too much into this.

Soon enough I was being pulled like a rag doll by both Jimin and Seokjin. "Taehyung! Hoseok! Namjoon! Help me." I whined, pulling out the 'e' in me.

All three of them acknowledged my need for help but brushed me off. That was too much for sure.

"Hoseok." I cried as he sighed heavily, finally deciding to accept my desperate pleads and stood up to help me out of the fight between Jimin and Seokjin. He pulled me out of the fight without ease and ruffled my hair.

"Congratulations for getting him in the end." He smiled as he messed up my hair. I smiled back at him and slightly titled my head to the side. "Thanks Hoseok for all your support."

"Yah stop getting lovey-dovey with my girlfriend/daughter!" Jimin and Seokjin yelled as they pulled me away from Hoseok. Jimin took a large step so he stood in front of me and narrowed his eyes at my best friend.

I rolled my eyes and walked away from the two childish boys and sat with Taehyung and Namjoon who were watching the reruns of 'WIN' (Who Is Next).

I pulled my knees up to my chest as I leaned back against the couch rest. I watched as YG's rookies and JYP's rookies were competing against each other. I still can't believe how young GOT7 looks in this episode, compared to their looks now.

The disagreement between Seokjin and Jimin took an end, and the three joined us to watch the episode.

I took notice of the absent of Jungkook and Yoongi. I knew Yoongi was still on his 'trip' but where was Jungkook? Jimin noticed my lack of attention for the show, "What's wrong?" He asked as he laced his hand together with mine. At first I let my hand loosely hold Jimin's before I sighed and held his hand back.

"Where's Jungkook?" Jimin thought for a moment before his expression brightened up. "He mentioned something about hanging out with Minji and some girl name Yeri?"

I frowned, Yeri was Minji's best friend and coincidentally the girl Jungkook liked. Don't blame me for being bias but I shipped Jungkook with Minji rather than Jungkook with Yeri. Their future was a big blur for me.

Jimin snapped his fingers in front of me, breaking my trance. He rubbed my knuckles with his free hand. "Did you really punch that guy for me?" I was stunned to find out that Jimin knew but my answer was nearly instant when I nodded.

"You got suspended." I nodded once again.

He frowned, probably feeling at fault for my reckless actions. Before I could say anything a killer aura appeared from next to me. "Young lady you got suspended?" I shakily turned my head around to face Hoseok and Seokjin.

I turned for help from Taehyung but he simply did an aegyo smile before mouthing, 'good luck'.

_______________________________________

After a long lecture from Seokjin and Hoseok, I was beat. Thankfully Namjoon cut in to help me by telling the two boys that they all needed to head off to the company. So this left me alone in their dorm with two hours to kill before they came back.

Perhaps I should sell their stuff online. Nah I'm just kidding.

My phone began ringing and I looked at the screen name before freezing up in nervousness.

'Park Daesom Eomma ❤️ ️'

I picked it up hesitantly. "Hello-"

"YAH KIM TAEHEE YOU BRAT HOW DARE YOU GET SUSPENDED!" I pulled my ear away from my phone, afraid of getting ear damage from my mum's loud screaming. I knew Taehyung took care of, probably defused my mum a little before she called me.

"I was fighting for justice-" My mum cut me off once again. "Justice my ass, you probably did it because you got a pretty boy in the end." She clicked her tongue in annoyance, "damn you youngsters." She muttered.

I smiled a little and took a drink of water.

"So how hot was this guy if you're willing to get suspended for him?" She asked which caught me off guard. I choked on my water and became suddenly flustered.

"M-mum!" I stammered as I coughed a little. "What? You think your mum didn't hunt for pretty boys when she was younger?"

I covered my face, embarrassed of how my mum was acting. "So seriously, does this boy have a nice body? Is that why you like him?" My mum giggled as she probably tried to image Jimin.

"I'm hanging up! We can talk about this later!" She made a 'hmph', "Fine! Send me a photo of this boy later." She hung up the phone.

I threw my phone to the side and sighed.

Even my mum is teasing me. Thank God she's not as angry as I thought she would be.

I sprawled myself on the carpeted floor and rolled around. It's so boring and lonely by myself. Maybe I should call Solbi. She's probably worried about me. Or maybe I should call Eunha; actually she's probably busy settling back into Korea.

My began ringing once again but this time my heart stopped. This ringtone was different to all the others. I knew who it was already before even looking at the screen name.

Fear played in my body as sweat formed on my face.

I hovered my finger over the decline button but unconsciously pressed the accept button instead. I held the phone up to my ear, my fingers shaking.

"Taehee." His cold tone spoke as my whole body was paralyzed from all the bad memories of the past. All the scars made that still existed today. Terror sparked in my eyes.

I was stumbling over my own words, choking on them physically.

"D-dad."
