Jimin's POV

The day after, my door was slammed open, making me jump and fall off my bed, it was a habit of mine to sleep awfully close to the edge (sarcasm),

"Yah! Can't you knock?" I shouted as I rubbed my head and look at the broad-shouldered hyung by the door frame, followed by the peeping maknae, Jin hyung signaled me to follow him, and later on I found the others sleepy and slouched in the living room, waiting..

what's going on this early in the morning?..

I groaned as I sat down across Jin hyung, Taehyung and Namjoon beside me still far off in dreamland, looking back at hyung who had crossed arms, I raised an eyebrow and coughed,

"What's going on...." letting out a sigh, Yoongi hyung scoffed and darted me a glare, what is he mad about?

"Oh you know very well, Park Jimin." Yoongi hyung grunted in a serious tone, as if he was pointing out that it was obvious what was going on,

"You could've been nicer to y/n." Jin hyung in the other hand, was calm and collected, like a mother,

It's not much of a difference, what's the big deal..

"We already told you that that y/n is our old lowerclassmen, and if not we came prepared with the contact numbers we gave her." Hoseok groaned, ruffling his hair with eyes half open,

"Even if it's temporary, how can we be so sure? We can't just trust someone and claim it's the person you guys USED to support me in." I bargained, bursting and seemingly unconvinced in this small plan the guys set out 3 weeks ago,

I'm still upset about the reappearance of y/n in my life, add the fact that I was taken off credit by SOMEONE, glaring my eyes on Hobi, I'm rather disappointed 😾

"Don't you trust us, Jimin?"

Out of the silence, the timid Jungkook spoke up, the others were fully awake and looked at me,

I looked down in anger and guilt, it's not like that- but...

"Trust isn't the term here..I BELIEVE that she IS y/n, but there's this doubt lingering in my mind...I just can't accept the fact she looks like her.."

Intertwining and fidgeting with my hands, I continue to look down, thinking as if I have two heads, waiting for my fellow brothers to lecture me, I have changed much...

"Jimin, we know you love her and if this y/n proves to be- ugh! you know what let's just photoshop and check the yearbook, drama doesn't help."

Taehyung throw off his arms in the air, making us all laugh and the tension broken,

I don't know why I'm confusing myself, it's like accidentally opening a wound and you just feel frustrated..

We all had breakfast, Jin hyung made pancakes today and he gave me the biggest one with a warm smile, the strawberry and blueberries oozed with the chocolate syrup, but one thing disturbs me in this wonderful morning...

3 weeks ago

I heard a knock on the door after grunting loudly and remorsefully on my pillow, I stood up and opened the door only to find Namjoon with a concerned expression,

"Hyung.." my voice broke and Namjoon gave me a hug, we sat down inside my room and I opened up what I felt, including y/n's mistake..

"Hoseok should know this, you know that Jimin." Namjoon insisted after listening to my rant, I sighed,

"I know, I know hyung...but I'd rather forget about it, I'm sure I can take this anger out somewhere..I don't want to hurt Hobi hyungs' feelings.." I brushed back my hair and thought it through, you could say I reflected on my actions and what I said earlier in front of y/n and the others,

"Still, you have to apologize, and take your time..I'm sure Hoseok will understand, everyone will." Namjoon gave me a reassuring smile, I smiled back and thanked him,

Later on after thinking, I came out and apologized to everyone as they were waiting in the living room, it seems they forgive me and now we're in good terms, so I told them everything..including Hobi, he wasn't pleased but he understood..

"So...I'm in no position to be upset at all of you, but I'm just..confused, guys..I'm sorry for being a burden.."

"Don't be sorry, Jimin. We'll help you sort things out." Yoongi hyung patted my back as I cover my face in shame, I thanked him with a lump on my throat, but what help can they offer?...

"How about this? We'll see if this y/n is indeed our Jimins' y/n by getting to know her more, let's give her our numbers." Hoseok hyung suggested, I looked at him in surprise,

"What?? We can't do that, hyung, what about our career? They won't allow us plus y/n is a fan, wouldn't this affect us?" I started to worry despite the good thing about being with her once again,

"Well, temporary phone numbers can work, it won't be our real contacts but rather, we will use it for the mean time..for you and y/n." Hobi hyung smiled with a concerned look, I could only look at him with worry..

"What about y/n?..How can we make sure she'll be safe from paparazzi, bashes, haters, I don't want to harm her, may she be our y/n or not.."

"We know..that's what we are worried too." Jin hyung looked at the others, and then at me..

"If I'm only harming her safety, I'd choose to stay away.." Frowning, I could only think about the worst that could happen for y/n..

"We'll handle it so rest assured, Jimin. When we come back to the company, we'll start with talking to her and getting along with and then the temporary numbers, after that, we'll hang out often. Sound good?"

Namjoon hyung suggested, but hearing there is no assurance for her safety makes me a bit reluctant..

"She can't have my number.."

"What?" They all were in shock in unison,

"I don't want her to have my number.."

"Why??" They all asked again,

"I-..I don't know.."

The room was silent as I stare at the ground, the others not saying a word of complaint or confusion, I don't know why I can't let her have my number, it's this doubt of "what if's"..

"You can give it if you want but I won't, don't give me hope..she'll never be her.."

I stated and finally left the room, apologizing as my feet dragged me, leaving the others with their eyes following my footsteps,

I didn't come out in a day or two..

If you don't like this version of Jimin, I'm sorry but please bear with it since this is how the story will go, he'll be back to normal at some point in the story.
