Chapter 5:- Officially Meet

Jimin woke up, eyes heavy to open, throat so hoarse that he wanted water. He grunted, then suddenly a glass of water appeared in his hands. He drank it, then stopped. Eh?

“Good morning Chimmy-ah” Many familiar yet unfamiliar voices chorused. Chimmy? He squinted his eyes open and oh it’s the six men from before, lounging comfortably on the floor of his room. This view was too much for his rational and logical brain, so he went with his heart. He bowed his head down, saying “Hello everyone.”

Then, he waited for their response while trying to remember what he did yesterday. He accidentally immersed in Little space in public. He had a breakdown. He called Taetae and all of them barged into his home. He welcomed them with hugs. Huh, Chimmy what the hell..

Namjoon: Good afternoon, Jimin-ah. Did you have a nice nap?

Yoongi: After all that happened, it should be a perfect nap.

Jimin blushed, he did not like showing weakness to others. He nodded anyway, looking down his lap.

“That’s a relief. You deserve it. Anyway, my name is Kim Namjoon, or better known as RM. I am the leader of BTS.” Then he turned to the others, introducing them one by one.

Min Yoongi and Kim Taehyung, info gatherer.

Kim Seokjin, Jung Hoseok and Jeon Jungkook, assault team.

As they got introduced, they nodded at him, acknowledging their names. Jimin was stumped. He stared at each one of them, wondering why they were here, why they would introduce themselves.

“Are-are you not afraid that I will tell your names to the police? I-I mean, you guys are criminals, why would you tell me your names? Are they even real?” he stammered through his words, head bowed down low.

Then he heard snickering and scoffing.

”Jimin-ah, sorry to say this, but the police won’t do anything,” Jin snickered, sitting down in the bed beside him.

“Huh Jimin-ah we like you so much that we want you to be with us” Jungkook, the always observed, immediately piped up.

“Furthermore, don’t worry your pretty little head. We won’t hurt you, we would never hurt you. We just want to care for you, okay pretty?” Taehyung jumped on the bed and patted his cheeks, making cooing noises.

Choosing to trust them, Jimin nodded.

"Cool. Do you wanna live with us?," Hobi chirped. the rest of them exploded.

"Hyung!!"

"Hobi!!"

"Oh my goodness Hobi-yah we haven't discussed that yet!"

"Aish sorry I could not wait" he responded, hiding behind Jimin. the boy laughed, hiding his laughter behind his hand.

"Then will you not accept me if I want to live with you?" Jimin coyly asked Namjoon, who yelled about the discussion earlier.

The man stammered, not expecting his comeback. The rest of them screamed in excitement, pulling Jimin back to the bed into a cuddling session. Standing beside the bed, Yoongi shook his head, "Jimin-ah are you sure? think about it carefully. We have different lives from you. Do you really want to live with us?”

"Eyy hyung we know you're excited too!" Jungkook teased, the others laughed together with him. Yoongi rolled his eyes but waited for Jimin's answer.

Jimin smiled hesitantly. Living with a gang must not be easy. They must be busy all the time. Even if he ended up being alone, at least he would know that they will come home at the end of the day. He also would have to learn everything about gangs to prepare himself but he did not know where to start. However, what he hated the most was being a hindrance to the others.

"Is it okay? Will I be a burden? You guys accepted a part of me that is weird and you guys have been spoiling me with gifts that I don't need."

"Is it okay for us to care for you? Of course, okay! Perfectly okay!" Jin exclaimed, pulling Jimin back to his arms.

Jimin went with him, laughing happily at his newfound family.

"However," Namjoon started, standing up so he could be the focal point, "Jimin-ah, we may have to leave you alone most of the time. Our job is very demanding but you don't have to worry, we have everything that will keep you entertained, okay?"

"We have a swimming pool! Jacuzzi! Cinema! A huge greenhouse!"

"Bowling alley! Shooting range!" Tae continued.

"And all fancy things that fit a mansion." Yoongi cut them off dryly.

Jimin ohh-ed, looking very much excited. He could not wait.

The move-in date would be next week on Saturday, where the six men's schedule would be totally free.

…

Apparently, his separation with BTS was shorter in duration than expected.

The night BTS left, Jimin immediately packed up his things, mainly the gifts they gave and his precious Little Space stuffies. He slept with a smile on his face, his old phone filled with texts from the six members after they added him to their group chat.

Two days after that, his good luck ran out.

Jimin was minding his own business at the mart, contemplating whether to choose broccoli or celery for his dinner. His basket was full of fruits and staple food to last him for the week. The last week he would spend before leaving.

Suddenly, he was shoved from the back. The basket fell and he stumbled to the floor.

"Yah you little scum! You dared to show your face here! You dared to quit working during my shift! Are you f***ing tired of living?"

Oh. It was his ex-coworker. The coworker who b****ed about him to the manager\, the man who hated Jimin to the core for unknown reasons.

Jimin grunted, standing up and reached for his basket. He had no energy to face that sh*ithead. Leaving the vegetables aside, he moved to pay for his items while texting Jungkookie hyung about his current problem. Jungkookie told him earlier in the day that he was the only one free to ditch his job. Therefore, Jimin notified him of the assault.

Before this, the six men had separately talked to him to report if he was attacked. Was he currently being attacked? Yes, mentally and physically attacked.

As soon as he left the mart, oh that d**khead came again. Jimin sighed heavily, lunging his grocery bags closer to himself.

"Oi Park Jimin! Are you deaf! I was talking to you!"

Jimin snickered, and answered Kookie hyung's call, "Hyung! Someone wants to beat me up!" He started running to his apartment.

"Don't worry Jimin-ah, hyung is com-"

Ah he was shoved to the ground again. Jimin whimpered in pain, his knees and elbows scraped on the brick floor. His breath was knocked out of him and found it hard to breathe.

"Not so strong now when you're on the ground huh!" The sh**thead kicked his ribs with his boots, Jimin yelled at the impact. He coughed hard, hands grappling for stability. The kick came one after the other, Jimin lost count of it.

His head started spinning, eyes seeing splotches of black. He curled up his body, praying for Kookie hyung to arrive quickly.

And quickly he came. Before the d***head could kick again\, he stumbled down to the floor\, clutching his knees and screaming in pain.

"Hyungie" Jimin cried out softly, tears running down his eyes. He curled up tighter, gasping at the pain in his chest.

"Jimin-ah! Hyung is sorry, he came late. Let's get you to the hospital, okay? I already called the other hyungs, we'll go there first, okay" Kookie hyung carried him bridal style to his 4WD, and poof Jimin lost his consciousness.
