Chapter 31

Goosebumps run all over your skin as if you were met with a cold wave of wind that found you unprepared. Your fingers had frozen mid-air along with your breath that got in between your langs, never making it out.

You couldn't help but stare at Jimin's eyes intensively, the words he just told you echoing in your mind till another voice reached your ears and brought you back to reality.

"Who is that?!" You turned your head away in search of the source, your eyes soon landing on his phone that was on the bed. You stood up and took hold of the device then looked over at Jimin again, not understanding what was going on and why was he tied up like this but since he seemed to have a call on going with someone's whose ID said 'Hyung', you guessed that he might be someone trustworthy of his.

"Y-Yes? I-em...May I know with who I am speaking?"

"Miss Y/N? Is that you? You are that trainy right?" Jin recognised your voice immediately, his voice displaying how much in a hurry and in worry he was and after he spoke more you realised who he was too.

"Oh Mr SeokJin, it's you. I don't know what is going on. But have no worries, I will free him right away-"

"Don't you dare!" He suddenly yelled making you pull away out from the phone of reflex,which you were holding on your hand. 

"Don't trust anything he says, don't do anything he asks you to. I will be there in a bit so just keep him there no matter what, did you understand?" His voice echoed out of the speaker and you couldn't help but gaze towards Jimin who was smiling widely for some reason while listening to your conversation with his Hyung.

"O-Okay...I will keep him here." You replied and he hanged up the call immediately after, leaving you in a state as full of confusion as you were alert.

What was wrong with him? Who had come and tied him up like that? No one knew that he was to be here as far as you were aware so someone attacking him made no sense but if it really was that the case, where had went whoever did this to him,leaving him alone? You decided to go and grab a chair and place it behind the door just to be sure that whoever may have been here, would not have the chance to enter again.

"Are you really not gonna come and help me out of these?" Jimin asked you as soon as you returned again in his view, his aura feeling a lot more casual than earlier was. However, you did not reply to him. Instead, you just opened that balcony door, finding your phone on the floor in the process. You picked it up and turned it around, feeling a bit relieved that the screen had not shattered badly. Only a small crack at the corner could be seen.

You couldn't help but look at it with a sad expression before doing a quick check if everything was still functionally and since it thankfully was, you put it back on the pocket of your apron and returned back inside, finding Jimin crawling on the floor -as far as the clothing that was tying him with the bed was allowing him to- his head had reached under the dressing table that was right across the bed.

"Oh, you returned." He turned his head to face you then proceeded to push himself backwards till his back hit the end of the bed, then he smiled once more as he stood seated there.

You just blinked for a while, not understanding his behaviour, nor really getting why had his friend told you to not free him. Was he trying to punish him for something by keeping him like this? That though sure made some sense as Jimin was smiling while listening to his word but you had a gut feeling that those smiles were not something that should make you feel that he was taking this lightly in any way. And that gut feeling was more than right, as Jimin had reached there because he had taken notice of the knife he had thrown there earlier and now, this side of himself, wanted to be freed and in control of his body. A body that he was trying hard to free from those damn bedsheets, despite the fact that he had a stranger looking over his head.

"Could you just loosen up a bit the part around my hands at least? It's really painful." He asked, with eyes that looked at you in a complaining manner which made you want to help him for a second and actually approach him and fall to your knees, reaching out for the knot that was holding his hands together.

However, as soon as you touched the fabric you couldn't help but lock eyes with him again, and despite how normal he seemed at that moment, something was telling you that you just shouldn't. SeokJin was his best friend. Why would he say all that if he didn't know better? What kind of timing was this for him to joke about his prior words? You couldn't help but feel perplexed.

"What? You can't do even that? Fine! Just know that when I get out of here though I am gonna sue you and whoever you are working with!"

"What? I have nothing to do with this, I swear!" You replied, feeling a bit offended that he was accusing you of his captivity.

"How am I to believe that? When you find me tied up and instead of setting me free you are doing nothing? You are obviously working against me. It was my fault for trusting you to begin with." He gazed strongly at you, his eyes portraying anger and a certain level of disappointment that made you scoff at his statement.

"You seriously have trust issues, haven't you? I was not the one that called you to come here, you came on your own. So how could I have planned anything against you?" You argued as you proceeded to untie his hands, in an attempt to make your point. "What profit would I get from tying you up, to begin with? It's not like I am a human trafficker or anything. Nor I would like to kidnap you. You are not even fun to have around, you know." You rumbled till you finally untied that piece of cloth around his hands full, of course leaving all the rest as it was.

"Me, not fun? Sweetheart, I am the most joyful thing you could ever have in your life." He stated as he rubbed a bit his wrist, feeling way better now that he did not need to use the knife he had managed to push behind his back and which he was currently covering with his body so it won't fall to your attention.

"Em excuse me but I would like it if you refrained from calling me things other than my name. I don't believe we are that familiar and close with each other, to the point where we could accept this kind of jokes." You intended to come of as serious even though you were not bothered much by the way he addressed you but still you were someone who liked boundaries and liked keeping them even more. Especially with people who you did not know well.

"However you deem more pleasant, my flower" He responded, flashing you a smile as his two fingers reached for your face and slightly touched at the corner of your right eyebrow.

His eyes locked in yours as he kept his lips tagged upwards, bringing your face to express the utter shock that hit you as soon as your brain did a connection that it should not have done. That exact expression was a very famous one. That expression and hand gesture along with the way he addressed you,all were huge characteristics of a character Jimin had played in a movie some years ago. A character who called every female he met flower and smiled like that as he tapped at the side of their forhead.

There was no mistaking it as he had got so much praise for portraying that character so well. Even people that didn't know his name as an actor, had started remembering him after that role.

What had made you freeze however was not the fact that he was acting that character all of a sudden, but it was the fact that he gave off that vibe so strongly that it made you feel like a potential victim. Because whoever that character touched like that and smiled to them in such a way, was to be found dead , sooner or later.
