After he finally managed to calm her down, Taehyung sent her home. He stopped his car right in front of Jimin's house and looked at the back seat where Aera was.

Her hands were still shaking. Maybe the incident left some bad effects on her. He sighed, "Are you okay to walk? " he asked.

He really didn't want to let her go and wanted to comfort her by himself. Because he knows, if he let her go to Jimin, he'll be the one who'll comfort her. And the fact that he'll never be in his place hurts him a lot. He wished to be Jimin for some reason.

Aera nodded her head, signalling that she was okay. "But, can you help me to stand up? My knees are still shaking " Aera asked for help.

With a smile, "Of course. That's why I'm here. To help you " Taehyung said as he got out from his car and opened the door for Aera.

On the other hand, Jimin was resting at the balcony in his room. His head had been aching a lot lately so he thinks that taking a fresh air would help him to reduce the pain.

But then, he found something that distracted him. Taehyung.

He stood up and saw Taehyung was helping Aera to walk to the door. He was totally pissed off but knowing that. Taehyung was helping her, he tried to calm down a bit.

"That girl— she always has trouble in her life" he muttered and went downstairs as soon as he could.

He opened the door widely and went to them. He looked at Aera then Taehyung. Without wasting any second, he pushed Taehyung away and helped Aera to walk. Gently, he took her arm and wrapped it around his shoulders. After making sure she was strong enough to walk, he put his hand on her waist and helped her to walk into the house.

Taehyung muttered under his breath and rolled his eyes due to Jimin's actions. So you're trying to trigger my anger huh? he thought to himself and watched them.

Jimin put Aera on the couch and checked on her. "What happened to you? " he asked. Concern was what inside his eyes.

Instead of getting an answer by Aera, Taehyung began to speak.

"She almost got hit by a car " he stated, making Jimin gasped in shocked. He turned to her and widened his eyes.

"Are you insane? " he growled as he looked at her in disbelief. "How can you almost got hit by a car? Did you wish to die huh?! Such a careless person you are! " he scolded her instead of calming her down.

Seeing Jimin mad at her, she started to burst in tears again. "I don't know " she cried. Taehyung frowned and looked at Jimin. "Can you please stop scolding her? She's still scared. You're supposed to calm her. " Taehyung gritted his teeth in annoyance.

"If you won't do that, I will " he added which make Jimin burst out his anger.

"What did you say? You want to calm her? No way. I'm her fiance not you! " he pointed to Taehyung and growled at him.

"Then act like her fiance! " Taehyung yelled at him which almost make Jimin to punch him. But Jimin didn't because Aera was holding his hand while begging him to not going aggressive again.

He looked down at Aera who was still crying and hissed silently. Her tears was too pure that make Jimin softened a bit. He sighed and turned to Taehyung.

"You'd better go now or I'll punch your face." he said and turned away. He can't look at his face for any longer because he was worried if he'd lost his control again. Taehyung clenched his fist, refusing to go but since it was Aera's request, he obeyed.

"Fine " he mumbled and walked out from the house.

Jimin heaved a deep sigh and sat beside Aera. Then, he ruffled his hair in frustration.

But hearing the sniffling sound make him stopped. Deeply, he found that she was distracting him. But his other side said otherwise. She's not troubling, she just want your attention he thought.

However, his heart couldn't choose whether he should listen to the bad side or the good side. As I told you before, he was trapped in the dark world that didn't give him to do kindness.

He hadn't help people for a long time and staying alone in such a long period forced him to grow up as a statue. Before he realized, a pair if warm arms already wrapped around him. He moved backward as he was shocked by the sudden body interactions. He turned to the girl beside him and furrowed his brows. "What you think you're doing?" he asked with a glare.

"I'm cold " Aera sniffled as she tried to hold the coldness. She might catch a cold in this condition. Jimin thought that she just wanted his attention. But seeing her shivered so bad make him considered his decision again.

Maybe she really needed a help, he said to himself.

His strong muscular arms slowly wrapped around her body as he carried Aera to his room. To him, his room is the most comfortable place.

He placed Aera on his bed gently and put a soft pillow under her head to make sure she was fine. He glanced at her thin fingers and found that they looked so pale which means they're cold.

He asked Mrs Song to make her a cup of hot tea with a chicken noodle soup. It was his favourite meal when he catches a fever so he thinks she might loves it as well.

He was quiet nervous when he has a girl on his bed. Aera had already entered his room several times. But this time was different because she lay on his bed. No girls ever sit or touch his bed but now, Aera does.

Ignoring the fact that Aera was the first girl that broke the record, he turned on the air heater. He closed all the curtains in his room and make sure there was no other sources would help the outside wind to come in.

Mrs Song will take a while to cook the meal. But Aera kept shivering. He felt pity on her and he knows that he can't let her shivers alone. I'm a man and I should help her, he said.

He made his way to her and sat beside her. Taking the thickest blanket he has, he put it all on her. Then, he hesitantly wrapping his arm around her and pulled her into a hug. Even Aera was surprised by his action but she loved it. At first, Jimin wasn't so comfortable with the hug but he got used to it after a few minutes. The warmth of his body made her feel so comfortable and warm. His hug was much better compared to the thick blanket.

Without her realization, she already had her head placed on Jimin's chest. At this point, his hard chest felt so soft and nice.

Hearing to the beating of Jimin's heart was so comforting. It sends chill down to her spine.

Jimin knew that Aera was focusing on each of his heart beats. He didn't like that but he just remained silent. He somehow thinks that having someone in his arms isn't bad. It was quite warming.

His hand started travelling her soft hair and caressed it softly. Her hair smelled like lavender and Jimin loves it. Aera snuggled in his embrace and tightened the hug.

Knowing that Aera loves being in his arm, he smiled silently. "So this is why people love to hug " he mumbled to himself but it was too slow for Aera to even hear. He secretly enjoyed the hug. The warm hug.

Jimin heard footsteps were coming towards them and he knew it was Uncle Seon. Aera was already fell asleep on his shoulder so he gently took her head off and placed it on the pillow.

At the same time, Uncle Seon entered the room. "Sir. This is the medicine " He said as he placed the pills on the table.

Uncle Seon smiled at his own sight. Knowing that Jimin had get closer to Aera makes him happy. He felt peace.

Then, a sound of Jimin sighing took his attention. "Is there anything I can help, Sir? " he asked, ready to give his hands. Jimin shook his head and raised his hand. "It's okay. Everything's fine " he stated.

He nodded, "Alright then. Just call me any time when you need help. I'll be there on time. " he added before walking out from the room to give both Jimin and Aera some private space.

Aera woke up from her quick nap as she felt something hurts on her wrist. As her eyes opened, she saw Jimin was putting a bandage on her wrist.

She can't deny that she was absolutely shocked by his changes. He acted kind all of the sudden but it wasn't weird for her. Because she knew that Jimin's actually kind. It's just he didn't show it.

When she noticed Jimin was going to turn to her, she closed her eyes back and pretended like she was still sleeping. Secretly, she wished that Jimin's didn't know that she was already awaken.

"Stop acting and just open your eyes. I know you're awake " he said and Aera forcefully opened her eyes in embarrassment. She was caught in a lie. A tiny lie.

"I've wrap your bruise. I hope it'd gets better soon. Tell me if it gets any worse. I'll bring you to the doctor " he said as he put the small box that he used on the table.

"Can I know where did you get this bruise? " he asked all of the sudden. Aera bit her upper lip, as she didn't have the urge to tell him the truth. How can she says that he caused the bruise?

She noticed that Jimin was focusing on her lips so she cleared her throat. "Maybe because I fell on the road. Yeah. The road was pretty hard you know? " she lied.

Jimin frowned at her, "Don't lie to me. Just tell me the truth. " he gestured her.

Aera chuckled nervously as she didn't what else to lie. "Why'd you say that? I'm telling you the truth. " she said but Jimin won't believe her words.

"I was the one who caused that, right? " he asked and her eyes enlarged hearing his words. She had no idea about how did he finds out about it. Even Jungkook didn't know about it.

Jimin sighed and took her wrist. He smiled weakly and rubbed it with his soft hands. "Does it still hurt? " he asked with the softest voice Aera ever heard. He was so gentle. She never seen this side of him.

She shook her head, "No. It's not so you don't need to be worried. " she smiled.

Jimin chuckled bitterly and asked "Haven't I told you before? You're so amazing for being able to smile even you're hurt. I wish to be like you " he stated, lowering his voice.

"Listen, I'm not a good person. But hurting people isn't my style. So I'm truly sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you. Hope you could forgive me " he apologized.

"No. It's seriously it's okay. I won't take it as a serious matter anyways. Let's just forget it, okay? " she asked but Jimin shook his head in disagreement. He looked up at her and said that she didn't expect to hear.

"You can't just forget the mistake someone has caused to you. Yes, you may forgive them but you can never forget what they had done to you " he said and Aera knew that he was telling her about what his heart was feeling.

It was so bitter.

Aera lowered her head as she didn't know what she should say. But after a moment, Jimin let her hands go and stood up. "I'm sorry, I think I should get going now. You can just rest in my room if you want. I'll sleep in the guest room " he said.

"Where are you going? It's already late night" Aera said, worried.

"Somewhere " he said and walked away directly to prevent Aera from asking any further.
