And I'm not going to be nobody"

"Do you really have to go? I mean, you're coming back here for the festival anyway" Jimin sulked as he watched you place your sound board on your shoulder.

"Yes, you have your hero duties and I have my Nightingale duties. I have to get paid somehow" you chuckled at his cuteness.

After yesterday's events, Jimin had been in absolute bliss, finally being able to defeat his first villain and gaining confidence to train harder.

"What if I pay you with the money that they gave me for completing the mission yesterday? Will that make you stay?" His eyes brightened at the thought of you staying and taking him out once more on another mission.

"Are you crazy? You earned that money so make sure to treat yourself, okay?" He sulked once more before crossing his arms.

"... you better come and watch my performance" smiling widely at his request, you walked over and opened his arms to give him a hug.

Surprised, Jimin returned the hug almost instantly, his heart beat increasing slightly as he did so.

"I promise. Even if the festival is the worst place for my hayfever" you heard him chuckle before letting you go.

"Thanks, for everything"

"Hey, can I steal Jimin?" You turned your head to see one of the heroes from his training group standing next to you while shyly pointing at the pink haired hero.

"Oh right, dance practice. I'll see you when you come next week, stay safe!" And with that, he waved goodbye and walked off with his co-dancer.

"Wow, so as soon as he thinks about dance practice, I'm forgotten?" You said out loud.

"With your face, anyone can forget you"

"AH!" Looking up, you saw Jin hanging from a vine upside down while looking down at you.

As you tried to calm your poor heart down, the purple haired hero landed swiftly in front of you before manipulating the plants to return back to their original places.

"What have I said about scaring me?" You glared at the older male.

"I can't stop my habit, I love seeing your scared face everytime" he smiled cheekily after fixing his training clothes. You suddenly remembered about your conversation last time with the Eros hero and your expression turned sour.

"What? Have I crossed the line?" He mocked.

"... you'll be happy to know that yesterday's mission was successful, without your help" he clicked his tongue in realisation at why you were being so sour to him.

"Ah, I get it now. You're still hung up on that conversation? You're not going to age well if you keep doing that"

"I don't care if I become the ugliest old lady in the world, at least I'll have friends who will be old and ugly with me" Jin furrowed his eyebrows in shock that you were being serious about this.

"Are you actually mad at me?"

"Yes, Yes I am" rolling his eyes at your words, he looked back at you before clearing his throat.

"And why, on Eros' earth, are you mad?"

"Because you didn't help us yesterday and that you don't see Jimin as a friend. Who knows, maybe you don't see anyone as a friend, even me"

"I see you as a friend, Y/N-"

"Why can't you see Jimin as a friend?" You interrupted the taller hero. He looked away briefly before looking back at you.

"He's not trustworthy."

"How? Because he doesn't want to tell us how he got in to Eros? Maybe it's a personal matter and he doesn't feel close to us yet to talk about it" you argued.

"He's lying to us, and anyone who lies cannot be trusted"

"So what? It's not like the truth is going to change the way we think about him. He's still going to be Jimin in my eyes-"

"Even if he was a murderer?" You were taken aback at his bold question and you were thrown off from speaking.

"D-don't say something like that"

"Hard to accept that he might be a villain? Tsk, this is how you get tricked easily. That's how you got taken away by that fake nurse"

"That doesn't mean that Jimin is a villain!" The other leaned forward to get closer to you. You could feel his hot breath hit your face as well as his intense stare never leaving your eyes.

"Then explain to me why I saw him sneak out and meet up with a man in the middle of the night" taken aback, you analysed his eyes to see if he was lying or not. Jin was many things, but he was never a liar.

"... it doesn't mean anything-"

"The man gave him money. A lot of money" this did make you think, who was that man? Why was Jimin getting paid? Why was he sneaking out?

"... I'm going to be late" grabbing your suitcase, you started to walk off in the opposite direction without looking back.

"Not everyone is a hero, Y/N!" Worried for you, Jin watched as your figure left the building and hoped that you had listened to his wise words before walking off to resume his training.
