He looked like a deer in the headlights.

I didn't mean to startle him...

I didn't even mean to see him here. I was literally walking back to my hotel, when I spotted a grinning Jimin, holding onto his guitar like it was a life preserver.

"You look happy." I manage to say, as he exhales my name.

Jimin shakes his head.

I frown. "You're not happy?"

He looks so confused.

I sigh. "We don't have to talk now. Just so you know, I'm staying at The Renaissance Hotel a few blocks from here. Come say hi if you want, little one."

I don't like the look in Jimin's face.

Like, I interrupted something important.

Like maybe he didn't want me here...

I tried to turn away, leave him for now, but then he said my name again.

"Oppa." He said.

I blinked and turned back to him.

Now Jimin looked mad.

"Why are you here?" He asked, gazing at me with fire in his eyes.

"I had to see you."

"Why?"

"Because I missed you, little one."

Jimin pouts. "Don't call me that. We broke up."

I don't want to feel those words... but I do.

They hurt.

"If you don't want to see me, tell me now." I say.

He hesitates.

I suddenly want more than anything to hold him. Touch him. Oh, Jimin. Don't look so lost. I'm here now, and I still want you.

I take a hesitant step toward him.

Jimin doesn't move.

His eyes are locked on mine.

What was that? Fear?

Shit, was he afraid of me?

My heart sank as I realized maybe Jimin still didn't want me to touch him.

When I reach a hand out towards him, my fears are confirmed.

Jimin's eyes widen and he takes a step back.

I drop my hand. Why does it feel like my heart is breaking?
I blink. "Will you at least consider meeting me somewhere then?" I ask him.

Jimin-ssi swallows.

"Not your hotel. Somewhere else."

I want to ask why... I really just wanted to be alone with him.

"Okay." I say. "The coffee shop down the street. Is that neutral ground enough for you?"

Jimin nods. "Tomorrow. 2pm, don't be late or I'll leave."

I can't help my smile.

Jimin... when did you get so intense and commanding?

I liked it more than I should have.

I nod at him, keeping my eyes locked on his.

"I'll see you tomorrow." I say.

Jimin's eyes flicker to my mouth, but then he pulls himself away and hurries off down the street- his guitar in his hands.

Jesus. What was I going to do about him?!

Jimin wouldn't, or couldn't let me touch him.

I let myself wonder briefly, if maybe he'd met someone else.

That thought was torture...

Oh. Torture.

Well I guess I couldn't blame Jimin-ssi for being hesitant.

My heart raced as I realised, maybe he was still in pain. Maybe he still had bruises that he didn't want me to touch or see....

I get back to my room and wait for tomorrow to come.

Oh, Jimin. What am I going to do with you?
