I slept late.

I didn't remember what time it was when I had come inside from the pool or what time it was when I had cum from my fantasies. But it was one o'clock in the afternoon when I finally awoke. It would be great if I could say that Jimin had come looking for me, wondering where I was and that I woke up to him sweeping my hair aside and kissing me passionately.

Nope. I woke up in a sweaty mess with the sun beating down through the window, onto the bed, alone. My hair was sticking to my face and I felt disgusting. I'm not vain, but there was no way I was walking out that door to face Mr. Park Jimin looking like that. I took a quick shower in the connected bathroom and threw on some shorts and a tank top before running a comb through my hair. I was half tempted to go the whole nine yards- makeup, hair, everything. But I was already sweating again from the heat and caking on makeup just didn't sound appealing. I've never been a big fan of makeup but did I mention that Park Jimin was waiting on the other side of that door? Somewhere?

I had to get over that. Somehow, I had to convince myself that he was like any other guy. I was finally getting there last night before he kissed me. He kissed me! I took a moment to relive that moment over again before deciding to use a tinted moisturizer. At least something was better than nothing.

I walked down the massive hallway and wound my way through the house, looking for the kitchen. My stomach grumbled and it dawned on me that the last thing I had eaten was the fast food burger I had gotten on the road last night. I finally found the kitchen. It was enormous and extravagant. Every appliance was top of the line and it just reminded me of how poor I was, considering this place was hardly ever used. Okay, so I wasn't poor. But I definitely wasn't rich.

I walked around the counter towards the pantry. It was thoroughly stocked with food, just as Jess had said. There were so many choices. In the end, I decided to just have a bowl of cereal. I was starving and didn't know if I wanted to wait long enough for anything to cook. I could always get something else later.

As I set my bowl on the counter and started the pour the cereal, a noticed a piece of paper off to the side.

Dia,

my writing english is no good. You car is

still here so you also. I go to work out and meet

Hobi for lunch. You stay and we talk. Good?

Jimin

Oh my god. It just kept getting better and better. I giggled to myself at how cute his little note was. I poured my milk and sat down to eat the bowl of cereal. It was weird to me that he spoke so well last night but he couldn't write in English.

I finished eating and placed my bowl in the sink before turning around and reaching for the note. I read it again, unable to contain my giddiness. I raised the note to my mouth and breathed in. I don't know why I did it. Did I expect he would've spritzed it with cologne or something?

"Uh, what are you doing?" spoke someone with a unique, gravely voice. That definitely was NOT Jimin.

I spun around and found myself face to face with none other than Jung Hoseok. He had a warm and inviting smile on my face that immediately put me at ease, even though I knew I had just been caught smelling Jimin's note.

"Oh, hi" I responded shyly.

"You must be Dia," he said, extending his hand for me to shake. I reached my hand out in response and he enveloped mine into his, pulling me into a hug.

I loved him.

"It's so wonderful to meet you," he spoke against my ear, "Jess would never bring her friends around." He released me, stepping back. He really was sunshine. I could see how he got that nickname.

"I didn't even know that she knew y'all." I stated. Unreal.

"Oh, yeah. We go way back. I have actually known her longer than Jimin has." JHope leaned back with his elbows on the counter behind him. He looked so casual and I found it so much easier to be myself around him than Jimin.

"Wow. That's news to me." I giggled. "How long have you known her?"

"Since she was five. I was eight. Our families have always been close." He sighed and looked off, out the massive kitchen windows towards the ocean. "Don't let her fool you. She likes to pretend that she doesn't know us herself. That it's all her family. But we used to spend every summer here when we were kids."

"Oh. I had no idea she's known you guys that long."

"Oh, not Jimin. He's only known her since around the time we all joined Big Hit. But her family understands how hard it is to find a quiet place off the grid. So they extended the invitation to all of us to stay here whenever we want. Jimin and I are the only ones that really ever take them up on it. I don't think Jess has even met any of the others."

I was fascinated. I was definitely calling Jess later to chew her out for keeping this very important information from me.

"So where's Jimin? Did he come back with you?" I couldn't help but wonder about him. He fascinated me and stirred my nerves all at the same time.

"Nevermind where Jimin is," Hobi said with a sly grin on his face. I felt like he was privy to an inside joke that only he knew. "Why don't we hang out? Do you wanna play horse?"

"Sure. Where's the basketball goal at?" I assumed they would have a full court somewhere.

"That's not the type of horse that he wants to play." An irritated Jimin spoke up behind me.

JHope busted out laughing. "Oh Jimin. Oh yeah." He continued laughing and I turned around to see Jimin standing in the doorway, a heated look on his face.

I remembered the Vlive where JHope spoke to Jimin like that, teasing him, and I fought to hold in my laughter. Jimin didn't find it funny.

"Did you talk to Jess today?" Jimin asked me.

"No. I just got up a little while ago."

JHope raised his eyebrows, "Wow. Match made in heaven." He smirked. Jimin rolled his eyes.

"Give her a call" Jimin ordered, "After you do, come out to the beach and we can talk things through."
