Last Warning

Ch.10

Things weren't necessarily going to change overnight. Sure, Jimin and you were able to go home and sleep it off. Any anger you had about yesterday was practically gone. Forget about what he said about you being unlovable. You don't feel the urge to crash your car into his anymore. That was an expensive and reckless fleeting wish you had. All of that could be forgotten now. Sort of. You knew going into the company building that Jimin and you wouldn't suddenly be the best of friends. That just wasn't going to happen and you weren't sure if the two of you were even capable of being friends at all.

The most you could wish for was that Jimin and you don't blow up in front of Mister Dupont again. It was getting embarrassing to let Dupont see that side of you come out. You didn't even know that side existed. Normally you just bite your tongue and try not to cause problems. That's what you do with Yumi, so why the heck can't you do the same with Jimin? Maybe because he was shockingly straightforward with his insults. That was a possibility—though no more of that. Don't give into his comments and hopefully he'll drop it.

Hwanwoong said he would talk to Jimin. Last time that got Jimin to approach you out of anger. It was utterly ridiculous. This time Jimin never confronted you about it so you assumed that that was a good sign. Just maybe he'll be silent during rehearsal. He'll just keep that stoic expression of his and not say a word unless he has to. You think that would be super helpful in getting through a rehearsal without fighting. You were counting on some sort of change when entering the Nijinsky studio. Jimin was already stretching with Dupont standing inside.

"Good afternoon!" You greeted them warmly. With today's schedule, this was your last rehearsal of the day. Though you knew Jimin would be having a late tech rehearsal. All the men at the company were having their talents be staged recently. SNB really loved showing off the male talent here and they would be having their little weekend show soon. Hopefully that doesn't make Jimin crabbier than usual.

"Good afternoon." Dupont smiled at you. He returned to focusing on the accompanist in the room. Jimin and you were finally going to try to dance with music so that was going to be fun. There would be a lot of stops and starts, but it was all a part of the process. Though with the extra person in the room, it just made you hope that there wouldn't be another huge fight. The last thing you needed was another person aware of how bad your relationship with Jimin was.

Speaking of Jimin, he hadn't acknowledged you once. He had his eyes shut while stretching on the floor. It's probably better that he doesn't say anything. Jimin was in his left splits as he began to roll his head back. Little by little, Jimin leaned back until his back was arched and the top of his head was touching the back of his knee. He had a pretty flexible spine. That was your only thought when his eyes suddenly opened to meet yours. It would have been nice if he sat back up, but instead he kept his back bent to stare at you upside down.

"Is there something you need?" Jimin asked.

"No. Don't mind me." You looked away from him, ignoring how odd he was. Will the two of you ever have one normal interaction? That was sounding like too much to ask the longer your relationship with him stuck like this.

Walking past him, you put your bag against the wall before going to the center of the floor to stretch. Dupont seemed to glance at the both of you as the accompanist played a few notes. They were discussing the tempo when Dupont decided to look at you two more noticeably. While Jimin and you may have been stretching, you were choosing to do so more than five feet away from him. It was just you needing space to yourself. Taking in a slow breath, you slid down into your middle splits when you felt Dupont's gaze. Jimin must have felt it too as you both looked over at the choreographer.
