One Rule! • JK x Reader•

52. Between You

━━━━━━♡♥♡━━━━━

When early Sunday morning rolls around it's no rest for the wicked as yourself and BTS are all in work; it's the home performance in just under 24hrs time at the awards show that they've been working on for ages and it's tomorrow!

So you get to the company building half an hour before the guys and quickly look over your papers and all the notes and tell yourself that you'll go through everything with them once more to make sure they're all still okay with it.

The day goes by quite fast and with no cause of concern for anything which you're truly glad about; Jungkook is the same as he has been all week, checking you're okay but still tip toeing around you like he might push you away.

You hate it!

But it's for the best!

By 4pm when the day is nearly over you're at your desk when your office door opens a little, looking up you see Jimin giving you a small smile.

"You okay?" You ask him as he shoves your office door closed and walks over towards you.

"Yeah, can I talk to you?"

His voice sounds normal, nothing out of the ordinary, but there's something about him asking to speak to you that's putting you on edge.

"Erh yeah, of course grab the chair" you smile.

You watch as he walks over to the chair you have next the window in your office and drag it across the floor to sit in front of your desk; too many times you've seen Jungkook slump his body down into it after a long day. You can't help now but wonder where Jungkook is, maybe he could come and save you from whatever 'talk' Jimin was going to have with you.

"Are you enjoying the job?" His smile is huge and it's warm and welcoming, so it calms you a tiny bit.

Jimin sits down in the chair and you smile; "yeah I really like it, although you guys being so good and looking after me makes it easier than I thought it would be"

He does a little giggle but then his face has an emotion wash over it that you can't quite put your finger on.

"Y/N?"

"Yeah?"

"I... well, I don't really know how to ask you this but..." Jimin is stuttering and it makes you nervous.

"Go on" you encourage.

"Well, I... I wondered if, is there anything going on... I mean... between you and Jungkook?"

You try to hide the shock you feel right to your core and hope he doesn't pick up on it; he's been on this ground before and you hoped he'd forgotten about it, obviously not!

"What do you mean? Between us how?" You thought by playing innocent, or dumb he'll automatically know the answer is no.

But to no avail.

Jimin continues his investigation.

"Sorry I'm... I mean like, are you, I dunno an item? A thing? Or are you just messing around together? More than friends?" His face looks confused but questioning and you can't tell how he feels about the thought of your answer.

"No, of course not why? What on Earth makes you want to ask me that?" You try and keep any air of offence off of your voice hoping he won't turn and run and go spreading rumours about you.

"I just noticed how close you were... are... have been, I mean... I like that he likes you though it means he listens to you but to be totally honest the reason I'm asking is because Jungkook is like my little brother and I like you Y/N I really do and I don't want you both to get in any trouble"

You sigh leaning forward to face him a little better; "Jimin, there's nothing going on with me and Jungkook I promise, I don't... I haven't... we haven't..." you stop talking as you trip over your words.

But technically everything you're saying is true! You haven't actually done 'anything' with Jungkook! Okay so he's close to you, you're close to him, maybe, but you certainly aren't 'doing' anything together!

"It's just, what about the other night when you picked him up and brought him home? ... I ..."

"I would do the same for any of you, you can all ring me to do that if you need it I promise"

He nods; "I, I don't think I'm totally against it..." Jimin looks right at you.

"Against what?" You question with confusion.

"The two of you; I, I think it's cute when I see you talking to him... it's like he's finally found someone who might understand him, someone who isn't me..."

You're blushing you know you are, you can feel your cheeks on fire.

"... Y/N it's just... I'm sorry, it's just I know he sometimes sneaks off to see you..."

Your heart nearly stops!

Does he mean to your home?

Does Jimin know?

How can he?

"Pardon?" You almost choke.

"In here, when we've finished a choreo or something when he takes a break..." Jimin makes fake air quotation marks and then continues, "... he comes to sit with you in here, I just thought, I'm sorry I shouldn't have thought it"

"No it's... there's nothing, NOTHING going on Jimin, do you hear me, it's not allowed I know that, I signed the damn contract... and why would he want me?" you're getting angry at your own feelings now, "... did you think it because... has this happened before? With ... with old assistants or..."

Now you wish you hadn't asked.

Jealously seeping through your skin in case he gives you an answer you don't want to hear!

"No, no of course not, as long as we've been in the band we haven't dated, Jungkook would never break the rules he's not... this... look, I know he wouldn't, he isn't like that so I guess I over stepped the mark asking you or even thinking anything, I'll be going"

Jimin stood up from the chair holding his hand up in an apology.

"If he would never break the rules, why would you think he would with me?" You can't help but ask.

"I... I shouldn't have said anything, I see now that I'm wrong, I'm going" he answers with a hint of shyness.

"Jimin wait... I'm sorry, and if it's too much I'll back away a little, I never expected to be friends as such with you guys but you're all so friendly and I promise if you ever need anything, if you want to come sit in here with me or need to talk to me, anything at all you are very much welcome just like he is, I... there is nothing going on Jimin, I promise." You breath a sigh of some sort of relief when Jimin gives you a small smile.

"Thanks, and again, I'm sorry I brought it up but I did because I don't want him to get involved in messy things that wreck careers"

"And you think I do? Jimin I'd never want anything to ruin what you guys have, I'm an assistant, that's all" your try to smile but nothing comes from you.

You speak again; "my week has just been... I've been tired, the other day I felt unwell, I'm sorry, Jimin sorry..."

"Okay this topic is over" he says blankly. Then he looks at you again, "I'm really going now, do you want to come for food or?"

"No... no thanks Jimin, I'm finishing these last few papers then my friend is coming round to my place for a hangout, we need a catch up"

He nods respectfully and leaves your office with a small smile; leaving you all confused and your nerves in tatters as you thought he'd found out about Jungkook hanging out with you.

Should you spill all to Jinsoo tonight?
