Seokjin's caution to Jimin was punctually and kindly given on the first favourable opportunity of speaking to him alone; after honestly telling him what he thought, he thus went on:
"You are too sensible a boy, Jiminie, to fall in love merely because you are warned against it; and, therefore, I am not afraid of speaking openly. Seriously, I would have you be on your guard. Do not involve yourself or endeavour to involve him in an affection which the want of fortune would make so very imprudent. I have nothing to say against HIM; he is a most interesting young alpha; and if he had the fortune he ought to have, I should think you could not do better. But as it is, you must not let your fancy run away with you. You have sense, and we all expect you to use it. Your father would depend on YOUR resolution and good conduct, I am sure. You must not disappoint your father."
"My dear uncle, this is being serious indeed."
"Yes, and I hope to engage you to be serious likewise."
"Well, then, you need not be under any alarm. I will take care of myself, and of Jo Sehyun too. He shall not be in love with me, if I can prevent it."
"Jimin, you are not serious now."
"I beg your pardon, I will try again. At present I am not in love with Jo Sehyun; no, I certainly am not. But he is, beyond all comparison, the most agreeable alpha I ever saw--and if he becomes really attached to me—"
"I believe it will be better that he should not. I see the imprudence of it."
"Oh! THAT abominable Min Yoongi! My father's opinion of me does me the greatest honour, and I should be miserable to forfeit it. My father, however, is partial to Jo Sehyun. In short, my dear uncle, I should be very sorry to be the means of making any of you unhappy; but since we see every day that where there is affection, young people are seldom withheld by immediate want of fortune from entering into engagements with each other, how can I promise to be wiser than so many of my fellow-creatures if I am tempted, or how am I even to know that it would be wisdom to resist? All that I can promise you, therefore, is not to be in a hurry. I will not be in a hurry to believe myself his first object. When I am in company with him, I will not be wishing. In short, I will do my best."
"Perhaps it will be as well if you discourage his coming here so very often. At least, you should not REMIND you mother of inviting him."
"As I did the other day," said Jimin with a conscious smile: "very true, it will be wise in me to refrain from THAT. But do not imagine that he is always here so often. It is on your account that he has been so frequently invited this week. You know my mother's ideas as to the necessity of constant company for her friends. But really, and upon my honour, I will try to do what I think to be the wisest; and now I hope you are satisfied."
His uncle assured him that he was, and Jimin having thanked him for the kindness of his hints, they parted; a wonderful instance of advice being given on such a point, without being resented.
