"I didn't mean to intrude before" you pick your head up out of your phone, you're still waiting outside the door to Jungkook's dressing room, he still hasn't resurfaced and you're pretty sure now that he's done this deliberate? Jimin smiles at you as he comes to a stop in front of you; "no it's fine Jimin you wasn't intruding on anything, I was just trying to get Jungkook to tell me what was wrong, Beom told me to try and get through to him as the new assistant.." you smile as Jimin looks at you, ".. they both told me it's usually your job?" You wait for him to speak, after a moments silence he does, "yeah, I.. I usually find him angry with himself or overthinking, he's the best one out there most of the time, it's because he's so hard on himself" the way Jimin says it kind of breaks your heart, "you shouldn't have that burden though Jimin, and you're all amazing! I promise I'll be a good assistant for you all, I'll help you all if you ever need it, I'm here, I'll make sure Jungkook is okay" you take hold of Jimin's hand gently and give it a tiny squeeze, hoping he knows you're telling the truth, plus, if you're being brutally honest with yourself, you thought if you also make some kind of skin contact with Jimin the way he saw you holding Jungkook's wrist before, he'll just see it as being your way to deal with things and when Jimin smiles big and pulls you into a hug you think you've convinced him. "Thank you Y/N you're a wonderful assistant, you're so lovely, I'm glad we have you" he lets you go and looks at you, "are you riding with Jungkook?" How are you supposed to answer that! "I... I, erh..." he just giggles, "you should because you're here waiting for him and we're all ready to go, he understands and he's not alone if he has you, if we all wait around much longer we might get mobbed" you smile at him, "okay whatever is best, I'm still learning remember, go on then go get home, I'll see you tomorrow" and with that Jimin is gone, skipping away down the corridor and off to leave with the rest of them meanwhile you're still here leaning on the wall waiting for Jungkook behind the dressing room door.

"You waited?" You pull your head out of your phone again seeing Jungkook leave the dressing room throwing his backpack over his shoulder, why does he still look good even in these normal every day clothes? "You asked me to wait didn't you" he looks at you and give him a smile; "I didn't know if you'd actually wait" he says running his fingers through his hair, you shake your head and push up off the wall, "why would I agree to do something and then not do it. Come on! The car's waiting" the corridors are eerily quiet as you both wander through them to where the car is parked out the back of the studio, he falls behind momentarily and you glance back at him to see what he's doing, when you do you seem him adjusting the bag on his shoulder then rub his hand over his top where the bag strap had been; "give me that" you fire an order at him waiting for him to pass you his bag but of course he doesn't. So you stop walking, standing still and holding your hand out, "give it me" he scowls at you playfully, "no! I can carry my own bag, it's heavy anyway" you blink, you'd like to say you're getting annoyed at his stubbornness but you find him too endearing to be annoyed. "So what's up with your shoulder? Too much working out before the performance? Give me the damn bag! Now!" When you move closer to him he huffs and takes the bag off his shoulder giving it to you slowly, you can see how much he hates it but he obliges all the same. "Thank you now let's go" you take his bag wondering what the hell he had in there, god, it weighed a ton! But you carried it and walked out of the building to the awaiting car, both jumping into the back of car, "okay thank you driver" you say nicely as the car pulls away. You daren't look fully at Jungkook to try and get a glimpse at how his facial expression is, but the you hear him yawn slipping a little further down in the seat, "you did great today, it really was a good performance! You all work extremely hard, you should be proud!" You finally give in and look at him and realise he has his head already turned leaning on the seat back looking at you, listing to your every word, "thanks.." he moves slightly and comes closer to you, he lets his hand fall between you until it brushes your hand and it feels like he's touched you with a spark of electricity but you try not to move, remain unaffected on the outside, give nothing away, don't let him see the way all your cells are buzzing. But then you feel his fingers clasp yours and give them a small squeeze and you think your heart stops, "Y/N I'm grateful for everything you do, remember at the start when you said you feared if you'd do the job right? I never doubted you for a minute, you're a great assistant" you take an extra long blink trying to not drown in the sparkle in his eyes and the way he smiles up at you, he lets go of your fingers and even though you're extremely grateful because now it means your heart can stop racing, you miss his touch almost immediately, however, glad that the driver is distracted with traffic ahead. Jungkook yawns again and leans sideways into you, resting his head on your shoulder, "I'm exhausted" he sighs and you go stiff, you can't move, everything around you is crashing, "rest then, if you fall asleep I'll wake you when you're home" is all you can say, void of any emotion, "thanks but I won't sleep yet" he mumbles and then that's it, the rest of the journey is had in silence and although you relax a little you can't help but feel on edge at this situation; you have Jungkook leaning on your shoulder is this okay? Is it crossing any lines that shouldn't be crossed? Your brain wracks thinking of the contract Sung Jin slung in front of you and made you sign. No, no this is okay he's tired, nothing is happening and nothing will happen. Thankfully fifteen minutes later, "we're here guys" the driver calls from the front of the car making you shift immediately, Jungkook props himself up in the seat, watching as you get out and grab his backpack from the boot of the car and then he hops out thanking the driver on the way. He stands beside you behind the car, "come up and eat with us, you deserve it, you did well too" he smiles and again your heart races, this isn't fair that he had this affect; "no.. no Jungkook I can't.. I should get back, the driver here was going to take me.." you see him sigh gently and then he leans forward closing the gap between you a little more, reaching out and taking his bag from your grip, "we're having fried chicken and I know you'll be hungry by now, the guys will have already ordered, it'll be on the way very soon" just thought of food makes you even hungrier than you already was, "you're our assistant if we can't treat you to some food after a long day nobody can" you give in, Jungkook is too stubborn to back down anyway. You look at him with a roll of the eye and he watches as you go to the driver's window and tell him you've been invited for food so it's fine you can make your own way home and thank him again for the journey, the driver waves a goodbye and drives away, you probably won't see him again until they have another performance or if you have to take a trip to the airport. Jungkook just smiles at you knowing he's won, "come on then I'm starving!" As you're on the way into the building you see him tap away a message on his phone wondering who he was texting, but, god, you shouldn't be that nosey and you really shouldn't care!
