Hi guys! I normally don't do A/N's for this book but Wattpad keeps deleting my chapters for some reason and this is the third time I've tried to write this chapter. I'm sorry for the delay!!

All was well as Prim had excitedly rushed downstairs to grab one of her favorite Lillies for Seokjin. The thought of him returning every week or so gave her hope to have some sort or excitement and not to mention she loved his company.

Jin on the other hand was ripped from the innocent moment of watching her happy form receded down the stairs before his phone begun to ring. Huffing loudly at the caller ID he picked up the phone only to rip it away from his ear a second later.

"Where have you been?!" Namjoon shouted through the speakers.

"Just checking everything out Joonie boy, can't be too careful now 'ya know?" Trying to play it cool was easy until he spotted the certain girl bounding her way back up the stairs. The smile and happiness that radiates from her however was contagious as he found himself temporarily lost in it until the yelling voice brought him back.

"That was hours ago! And you didn't even update anyone on how it was going. With this storm you know it would be almost impossible to find you if your body showed up..." Namjoon meant nothing by the threat he was jus worried, a trait he had picked up over time of loosing people he cared about.

"You know I'm fine." Jin locked eyes with the excited girl as she smiled brighter and presented him the lily. "I'll be home once the storm clears promise..."

"With hourly updates."

"With hourly updates."

And with that he canceled the call while putting his full attention to Primrose.

"Who's that?" Her head cocked to the side and he couldn't help but notice the small strand of hair that fell into her face. So, while tucking the strand behind her ear he accepted the flower in his hand.

"Nobody really important. Just worried about the storm is all." She nodded and accepted the answer while returning to her tea. A hint of red dusted over her cheeks feeling his fingers brush her skin where her hair had escaped.

Accepting his answer, Primrose bounced over to the table to continue sipping on her tea. The engere and excitement hadn't worn off and honestly it was like she couldn't sit still. Jin laughed at her goofy nature but still watched as she set the cup down, with just a little to much force.

Spilling the liquid on the table she gasped and quickly tried to save envelops that littered that side of the table. Handing them to Jin in a hurry she rushed to get a towel or something to clean the mess. With the paper in hand, he couldn't help but take a peek.

"Are these bills?" He turned through the papers looking at the numbers and even he was slightly surprised that a place like this cost this much.

"Yeah..." Rose began. "The landlord raised the price for this place and for some reason continues doing so. It's not  to bad but I'm kinda nervous that if he keeps up this track I'm going to have to leave and find somewhere else."

Jin was surprised at her words since anytime he was watching the store there seemed to be people constantly. He didn't really factor in if they bought anything though.

Looking at the documents again he could very easily pay this place off without a sweat, but he knew Primrose would never allow him to do so, and just doing it a ominously would be a huge red flag for her. However he could help her by getting the price down to what it was at before. If only he knew where this guy lived.

"Well that doesn't sound nice. Does this landlord live on site here or around to understand Business around here?" Jin questioned. He felt bad about trying to pry and immediately knew that if Primrose didn't tell him he would drop it.

"Oh goodness no. He doesn't think any property around here is worthy enough of his residence." She began swirling the tea in her cup while getting comfy on the other side of the couch where Jin sat down after her also getting comfy, facing her. "He lives somewhere uptown, I think? I have to mail my Lease money to him every month so I believe it's up on Wings Street with all the other pretty places. I remember because he tried to convince me to find a property not around here due to the crime stuff."

Jin nodded along with the feeling of guilt building as the plan he wanted to commence to help her out would involve possible harm to this man, which he assumed they were friends since he looked out for her wellbeing. The thought sent a string of anger thought of him but he kept his voice steady.

"So Are you close with him? I mean he seemed to have your best interest in mind." Primrose scoffed.

"Not a Chance. He's a perv and tries to make passes at me every time I see him. He is like 60 and I'm pretty sure he doesn't even know my name, he just calls me 'pretty thing' or 'pretty lady'. The only reason he wants me out of here is so he could put me closer to him and make more passes since this area scares him."

The guilt vanished and Jin was very glad of the idea that had popped into his head while not only helping her get the rent back to normal but to get a little revenge for her, even if it's majorly for his own piece of mind.

"Then burn him." Jin muttered. Whilst Rose chocked on her sip of tea before laughing and sending a playful glare towards Seokjin. He shrugged and laughed along with her even if he wasnt joking.

They two sat in each others company enjoying every minute while the rain slowly began to stop. Jin found himself loosing track of time as he watched her relax and laugh at jokes and conversations they had. He found himself again, wishing it would never end.

For even as the rain stopped he couldn't tear away from the girl who took over his mind and was finding a way to enter his heart.
