BTS Imagines 3

Jin ♡ Argument [request]

Requested by @ronweasleyswhore7

I sat behind one of the desks in the administration building, sorting through some paperwork I was given. A couple months ago I started a part time job at my college to help pay for my tuition. It's fairly manageable for me. Since it's at the college, they work with my class schedule, which I'm extremely thankful for. However, on the days I'm not working, I'm taking tutoring lessons. There's no issue with that, of course, except for the fact that my boyfriend doesn't know. To add to that, I've been lying and telling him I'm working when I'm not.

I finished up my paperwork for the day, glancing at the time on my phone. I got a sudden burst of adrenaline seeing that my shift was over and I could finally go home to my precious Jin. I cleaned up my desk, putting everything into neat stacks and heading out to my car, phone up to my ear as I waited for an answer.

"Hi princess." My boyfriend's smooth voice spoke through the receiver.
"Hi Jinnie. I was just calling to let you know I'm off work and I'm about to head home."
"Great! Are you hungry? Should I make something or order something?"
"Starving." I answer, getting into my vehicle and closing the door. "How about you surprise me?"
"It's my specialty." I could practically hear him winking through the phone.
"I can't wait. I'll see you in half an hour."
"See you, lovely."
"You too." I pulled the phone away from my ear and ended the call.

I made it home in a little more than thirty minutes, my heart thumping with excitement, ready to see what delicious dish was waiting for me.
Upon opening the front door, I could smell something delightful and mouthwatering.
"I'm home!" I announced.
"Oh! You're just in time." Jin hurried out to greet me, an apron tied around his slim waist. "Follow me." His hand found mine and he pulled me into the dining room where he had a beautiful spread of food and side dishes along the table.
"I decided to make something myself. I figured it would be more special. I hope you're okay with japchae."
"You know I love any kind of noodle dish." I smiled, taking a seat at the table.
Jin left the room for a moment and hurried back with drinks for the two of us. I was starving, but I chose to wait for him to take a seat before I started eating.
"What do you think?" He asked with anticipation.
"Really good. As usual."
"Good." He gave me his signature closed-mouth grin, the one where his cheeks look round and squishy, before he took a large bite of noodles.
"What are you doing tomorrow?" He questioned after swallowing his food.
"Uh... I have to work again tomorrow."
That's a lie. I have a tutoring session.
"Oh. Okay." He shrugged and continued eating.
The two of us finished dinner, I offered to clean up afterwards and wash dishes as a way to say thank you. Jin seemed to appreciate that.

The next day, I went to college, stopping by the library for my tutoring session with Shownu. He's already graduated but works at the college as a tutor. He's very kind and patient. He doesn't get irritated when I keep messing up on a problem, which I appreciate immensely. I honestly believe I'm actually learning stuff when I'm with him.

Over the next few weeks, I found myself brushing Jin off when he asked me if I was busy. I would lie on the days I had tutoring, saying that was another work day. I began to feel bad, but I just couldn't bring myself to tell him what I was actually doing.

I laid in bed, my eyes heavy from the long day I had at college. Jin reached over, pulling me into his chest. I let out a content sigh, snuggling closer to him.
"Baby?" He called softly.
"Mhm?"
"Do you have to work at the college tomorrow?"
"Unfortunately, yes." I lied.
"You've been working a lot lately. Usually you only work 3 days a week. Are you taking extra shifts?" He inquired.
"Yeah. I wanna get my tuition paid off." I lied again.
"I can help you if you want. You don't have to tough it out on your own."
"No, you keep your money. I can do this."
He let out a sigh. "Okay sweetheart. Just know, my offer still stands whenever you're ready."
