Stay With Us

It had been a month since J-Hope found out about me and Jimin. We started getting pretty good at hiding it. Anytime we were alone we would do what we wanted though. There had been a few close calls but luckily none of them involved Tae.

Jimin and I were going over the choreography together. I started to finally be able to do it without blushing. It was with Jimin after all. I had no reason to feel embarrassed. We finished going over it for the fifth time and we were both ready for a break.

“Ugh!” Jimin says lying on the floor. I come over and sit on the floor next to him. “Do you know how hard it is to control myself for this song?”

I start laughing. “I could always go over it with Minhyuk.” I say teasing.

He looks over giving me a glare. “Not funny. I’m still mad he works there.”

“I’m mad you won’t let us order Chinese anymore.” I lie down putting my head on his chest.

He puts his arm around me and lightly runs his fingers on my arm. “We should go out tonight. We haven’t been in a while.”

“How about a movie? We’ll leave before Tae gets home from work.”

“Works for me. Dinner first?”

“Fine but if you pay for dinner I get to pay for the movie.”

“You’re ridiculous.” He says laughing. “Fine.”

“I’m gonna go shower.” I say getting up. He stands up too then grabs my waist pulling me into him for a quick kiss. Once he releases me I leave to get ready. I curled my hair and decided on a high low light blue shirt, white jean jacket, dark wash skinny jeans, and white heals. Even in those shoes I was shorter than Jimin. I finished my makeup then went to see if he had finished his shower yet. I didn’t hear the water running anymore so I went to wait on the couch.

I decided to send a check in text to my mom. “Hey! Everything is good here. Tae is working late tonight so I’m going to dinner with Jimin. Love you!”

I low key told my mom about us a couple weeks ago. She was supportive of it as long as I didn’t get distracted from work. Her exact words were, “We let you go so you could be a choreographer. Not meet some boy and forget your dreams.” I couldn’t help but laugh at her. She was mostly kidding. We still weren’t telling my dad though. He wouldn’t approve of me living with the boys anymore if he knew. She was happy I was making friends though with the other girl dancers.

“Sorry I’m hurrying.” I here Jimin say running through the house looking for something.

“What are you looking for?”

“My damn keys.” He says going through the key bowl by the door.

“Check your work bag.”

“Right!” He then runs to his room. “Got ’em!” He says returning with them in his hand. We walk down to the bus stop waiting for it to get there.

“I really need to get my license.” He says to me.

“I don’t mind taking the bus.” I say laughing at him.

“Yeah but I should drive. You shouldn’t have to take the bus every time we do something without Jin or Suga.”

“Is this one of those ‘I’m the man so I should do this for you’ thing?”

He laughs nervously. “Maybe.”

We make it to the Spanish restaurant in pretty good time. We get through dinner quickly and we wait for the check. “Are you going to go wash your hands?” He asks me with a mischievous grin.

“Oh no! I’m not doing that again. I’ll go after the bill gets here.”

“You really are being ridiculous.” He says laughing. “Remember those man things you mentioned earlier?”

“You must be joking.” I say rolling my eyes at him.

“Not in the slightest bit.”

“I feel like I am taking your money. And I don’t like that.”

“Well let’s do this then.” He says leaning on the table. “If I ask you to go on a date with me, then I pay. If you ask for the date, then you pay?”

I think over the offer. It would help both of our situations. “Ugh! Fine.” I say crossing my arms in front of me. “I guess I’ll go wash my hands then.” I get back and of course the waiter came when I was gone.

Jimin stands up offering me my jacket. He then kisses me before we turn to leave. Much to our surprise we see Rap Mon standing at the hostess table looking right at us.

“Oh shit.” I mumble.

“Are you kidding me?” Rap Mon yells at us lifting up his hands and knocking the plant off the table. “Sorry! I’ll pay for that.” He says to the hostess before coming over to us. “What the hell are you two doing?”

We both just look at the floor embarrassed to have been caught.

“Well one of you say something!” He instructs.

“Please don’t tell Tae?” I ask him.

“You haven’t told V? I was mad that you were kissing in public!” He then waves his hands again hitting a tray out of the unsuspecting waiter’s hand breaking everything on it. “I am so sorry! I will pay for that.” He then turns back to us. “Outside before I have to pay for this building.”

We both hurry outside to wait for him. “Alright! How long has this been going on?”

“A little over a month.” I answer.

“Who knows about this?”

“My mom, Suga, and J-Hope.”

“You need to tell V.” He says crossing his arms in front of his chest. “He is not going to be happy.”

“Why does everyone say to tell Tae and then end it with he is either going to kill us or he is not going to be happy? I don’t understand.”

“It’s the right thing to do Maranda.” Rap Mon was in full Dad Namjoon mode.

“I’m sorry.” I say looking down.

“We are afraid V is going to send her back to America when he finds out.” Jimin says to him.

“Why would he do that?”

“My dad told him to send me home if I did anything stupid.”

His face then softens at us. “We won’t let him send you back.” He sees the sad expression on my face. “Worst case scenario we hide you in a hotel for a couple of days.”

“So are you going to tell him?” Jimin asks.

“No but you two really should. And before he finds out on his own.”

“I know. We’re just not ready for that yet.”

“So is this why you called to have us learn the choreography so soon?” He asks Jimin.
