《Mr. Boss | ✓》XXXII

As the days pass by you're grateful to be able to go on with your work without coming in direct contact with Jungkook.

Neither of you speaks nor looks at the other and any form of communication takes place with the help of a middle-man who's often a stylist or another member of staff.

Later on that disastrous day after having argued with Jungkook, Sunghyun had approached you and asked about you sudden disappearance from the party. You had lied saying you'd got sick of it eventually and left not wanting to bother Sunghyun. Even though he accepted the story and didn't question, you knew that he could say you were lying.. he always could.

"Y/N.." Sunghyun waves his hands in front of you now.

"Yeah?" you say finally coming back to earth.

"I asked you to finish up your breakfast soon so we could leave for work." Sunghyun talks slow emphasising each word.

"You don't have to talk to me as if I were a 90 year old grandma." you glare at him.

"Well... I would have a better chance of being heard if I was talking to a 90 year old grandma."

You bite into your waffle that has gone soggy, losing its crispiness from having been drenched in chocolate syrup. You chew at an agonizingly slow speed trying to delay leaving the comfort of the apartment as much as possible.

BTS have a music video shoot today out of Seoul which means another long drive.. but that's not what's worrying you.

Sunghyun had very graciously agreed to drive you to the location and you were immensely grateful as you didn't want to get stuck driving alongside someone.

"You sure you'll be fine on your own?"

You unstrap the seat belt and get out the car. "I'll survive." you smile at Sunghyun.

You watch Sunghyun drive away taking your confidence with him.

"Hey.. I was wondering when you'd get here."

"Well.. I'm here." you smile at Jimin.

"Just a heads up: someone's in one of his moods again." Jimin looks into the distance at a tall figure holding a camera.

"Isn't he always?" you say earning a soft chuckle from Jimin that warms your heart. Before you know it he entwines his fingers into yours and pulls you closer. He quickly places a kiss on your cheek and you turn a bright shade of red.

Adjusting the lens of his camera he zooms in to focus on a cluster of baby-blue flowers growing on a single branch.

Click.

He looks down at the picture but is unsatisfied and immediately deletes it.

"If you want to take a picture of a prettier flower, you can always ask me."

"No, thanks Jin hyung." Jungkook's voice sounds bored and lifeless.

"Your loss."

The pictures don't seem right today. He wonders if it's the lighting. Maybe it's the angle? He stands up dusting his knees that have gone slightly numb from having knelt on the gravel.

Looking around his eyes fall on Y/N getting out of a car. As she steps out Jungkook is given a clear view of the driver and his grip on the camera tightens somehow.

When he sees the car drive away an odd sense of relief fills him. But it's only momentary as Jimin approaches her. He watches as a bright smile lights up her face at his arrival and has to force himself to look away.

"Jin Hyung.." he calls out.

"Ahh.. I knew you'd come around. My beauty is irresistible." Jin smirks quite satisfied with himself and pulls back invisible hair over his shoulder.

"Sure is." Jungkook mutters under his breath, sardonically. But at the moment he's desperate for a distraction.

Jungkook looks through the pictures, one after another without much thought. "Hyung, don't you want to have a look?" he asks Jin's retreating back.

"I know I look amazing. I don't need confirmation." he says without turning around and walks away.

"Don't you just envy Hyung's confidence?" Jimin approaches with a fond smile playing on his lips.

"I doubt 'envy' is the word." Jungkook immediately looks down at his camera avoiding looking at the older man. He's been trying to avoid Jimin ever since..

He's afraid that if he looks up at Jimin's face and events from that night begin to replay in his mind his behaviour may give too much away. In this situation, avoidance is the best policy.

"Jungkook. I have to touch up your make up." one of the stylist calls out to him and he's never been more relieved.

Where do I keep my camera?

He looks at his camera and then around him for a safe place.

"Do you want me to hold onto that for you?" Jimin asks raising an eyebrow.

Jungkook instinctively holds it closer to his chest. Jimin notices right away.

"Can't you trust me?" Jimin's tone is soft.

I'm wondering the same, hyung.. Can I, after you..?

He gulps down the memory and hands over the camera reluctantly.

"Jimin, shooting is about to start. They're calling you." you say approaching him.

"Oh.. already?" he asks. Then glancing down at the camera in his hand he bites down on his bottom lip. "Can you keep this with you?"

"Yeah.. of course." you stretch your hand out.

"Please be very careful." you chuckle at how possessive he's being.

"I will guard it with my life."

Flashing you another one of his bright smiles he jogs to the shooting.

A couple of minutes later you give into boredom and find yourself lightly pressing the power button of the camera. The screen lights up immediately.

First, you see a picture of Jin with his hands in his pockets. A lopsided smile on his lips. His body language radiating confidence. Yet his eyes hold their mischievous gilt. You feel your own lips tug up into a smile. Judging from the outfit this one was taking today.

Next.. Namjoon sits on a chair in what must be his studio resting his head back against the chair he's seated on. A look of pure bliss on his face.. possibly from having completed another song...

Next.. Yoongi stares into the distance, his lips parted. Two vertical lines between his eyebrows as a product of concentration. A pen limply dangles from his hand. Pages litter the table he's seated at, some even crumpled into balls...

Next.. Hoseok has on a jacket completely covered in purple sequence. The light behind him like a glowing orb highlights his knowing smile as he looks out to want must be the audience.

Next.. Taehyung's eyes are perfect circles with raised eyebrows, his mouth full as he looks directly at the camera seeming munching on the half eaten hot dog in his hand.

Next.. Jimin has his head titled backwards as her laughs, his eyes disappear into two long lines. For the first time, you notice one of his teeth is slightly crooked.. a simple flaw on an otherwise perfect man.

You suddenly feel as if you shouldn't be looking at these pictures. There's something personal in the way each picture displays the individual's personality.

But when you see the next picture your heart stops.

This picture is of a girl.. she has her arms crossed. Her face turned to the right as the wind blows through her curls.

Next.. she's smiling at something, her eyes wrinkling up.

Next.. she's seated on the floor at the back of the practice room. Her back leans against a wall and legs pulled up to her chest as she looks ahead. Her lips forming an 'O' shape and her eyes twinkling with amusement.

That girl is you.

You hear the sound of crunching dried leaves and gravel. Looking up you see Jimin approach you.

You heart is beating fast against your chest. Thoughts and questions whirl around in your head.

What did I just see?

"Is the shooting done with?" you try hard to maintain a steady voice.

"No, silly, we just got started. They're just adjusting some props so we got a break."

"Jimin?"

"Hmm?"

"Who's camera is this?" As you ask the question you're not sure if you want to know the answer.

"Jungkook's. Why?" he looks at you questionably.

"N-Nothing" luckily for you Jimin doesn't seem to notice the slight tremble in your voice.

"Actually, it's less of a camera and more of a personal diary to him. He never lets anyone look through the pictures, unless he wants us to." As he speaks you feel more and more uneasy.

Why am I part of his so called personal diary?
