Ji-hye's POV
"So, are you going to help me with the foods or I'm telling your parents you had a fight?" I said smirking with my shoulders crossed.
He just looked at me with raging fire in his eyes and sit at the sofa while massaging his temples and closing his eyes as if he was stress about something.
I stare at his face and notice a hand mark on his neck which I didn't notice earlier. A hand mark that was similar to mine.
"W-where did you get that hand mark around your neck?" I asked worriedly
He immediately covered it with his hand and answered a sigh. He just pointed at the side of his lips that's bleeding as a sign to take care of it.
Don't tell me he's expecting me to heal it?!
"What? That's just bleeding. You can take care of it yourself. I'm not your mother" I said crossing my arms and walked away
I went to the kitchen to separate the ingredients and looked for an ice cream at the fridge to give it to Jimin for his lips.
"Here" I handed Jimin the ice cream and he just raised an eyebrow
"What do I supposed to do with that?"
"I don't know? Try kissing it?" I sarcastically answered
"You expect me to eat it while my lips are still bleeding and still not washed?" He said pointing his lips
"Then go wash it! Is that too hard for you?"
"What's going on down there? Why are you both shouting?" Jimin's mom said from upstairs
Our eyes met and got widened as we heard her coming downstairs that makes Jimin panic and went to the pantry to hide. He even almost slipped running. Maybe he doesn't know his mom is at home and don't want to show his face.
I just returned to the kitchen counter and continue to itemize the ingredients. Looking at them separately waiting for Jimin's mom to come check me up and I'll pretend nothing has happened.
"Hey, did I hear shouting?" Jimin's mom asked me with her hands on her hips
I just shrug my shoulders and continue to check the ingredients. I don't even read them like--
"Ohh, are those the ingredients you asked me earlier?" She asked forming a smile
"Uhh yeah, I don't know if it's the exact ingredients tho. I just picked them up once I saw them" I said
She didn't realized it was now out of topic so she probably can't remember what she's going to ask because she is distracted with all these ingredients.
She even seems excited more than Jimin.
I tried to look around finding something to ask or say but I can't think of anything. Jimin is now probably irritated inside the pantry waiting for his mother to go away.
"So, do dumplings make complicated things?" I said out of nowhere
She just look at me with confusion as I smile innocently cursing myself in the inside.
Wow, Jihye. You're so smart--
But come to think of it, this is your opportunity to have your revenge on Jimin. Well, it's his fault he didn't guide me in the grocery, so might as well--
Namjoon's POV
"Hungry?" I asked the members while washing our hands and changing our clothes with normal outfits because our old clothes are covered with dirt and blood.
We just finished another gang fight at the battle arena. Another point for our group and will always be at the top. Not bragging
It's been yesterday since I met Jihye but I managed to get her out of my head since we've been all busy at the arena.
"Starving, actually" Yoongi said as he wash his hands yawning
"How 'bout our lovely leader treats us pizza?" He said looking at me on the mirror and smirked devilish
Wow, this boy--
"Andwae. We still have to go to Jimin's house for his sleep over. Let's eat there instead." I smiled at them desperately wishing they would agree.
But who am I kidding? These 5 dorks are stubborn as a mule.
"But we also get tired for fighting other gangs. Don't we deserve anything?" Jin said whining.
"At Jimin's. Now." I said with a fake smile and walk away.
I entered the passenger seat of the car and waited the others while looking out the window. I saw them walk out of the bathroom with a pout on their faces and entered at car without a word.
"Yoongi hyung, you're driving" I said unbothered and immediately heard a whine
Just wait until I have my license!
I heard grins and whispers but didn't mind and just continued to scroll on my phone.
Minutes have passed and Yoongi moved at the driver's seat and just drove quietly while the others are smiling mischievously at the front view mirror
Namjoon, use your IQ. What are they up to?
---
"In the car. Now!" I said with irritated voice while they just stood in front of the door looking innocently while bowing their heads but I can still clearly see their excitement written on their face.
"But hyung, we're here already" Taehyung said with a mischievous boxy smile.
I looked at everybody and Jin just wiggled his eyebrows and look at me sweetly. Yoongi crossing his hand while looking at the glass mirrors with his mouth wide open as if he hasn't eaten in years. Hobi is taking a picture with the aesthetic scene. While Jungkook and Taehyung are looking down stomping each other's shoes and bumping shoulders like kids.
"Oh?! They have the garlic bread and a carbonara pasta" Yoongi said with a wide eyes and covered his mouth amazingly.
I just rolled my eyes and just gave a sigh as I massage my temples.
I didn't mind their laughs earlier and just kept quiet not knowing Yoongi drove here... at the Pizzeria.
They even forced me to get out of the car and people were looking at us as if we're crazy.
I mean, who wouldn't think a group of boys we're carrying a man out of the car is normal? I even bumped my head on the door.
I'm so done with these children.
"Did I heard a sigh? A sigh is a meaning of giving up" Yoongi said smirking and crossing his arms
I smirked back "Uh no. Exhaling, in other words; sigh is a sign of fatigue or an expression of sadne--"
"Yeah yeah whatever. Can we go in already?" Yoongi cut me and entered the Pizzeria
The others laugh and tapped my shoulder as they enter the door and followed Yoongi while I stare at them dumbfounded. I just slapped my forehead in annoyance and just follow the others inside the Pizzeria.
"We should come here often. This place is nice." Hobi asked while typing at his phone.
I just cross my arms trying not to listen or talk to them. I just looked around the place.
There are plant boxes hanging from the ceiling, paintings on the brick wall and a yellow fairy lights that's connected across the room. It is indeed a nice place.
"Hyung, did you know any of Jimin's cousins or siblings?" Jungkook said while sipping his banana milk innocently
Now where did he get that banana milk from?
"Huh? W-why me?" I asked shockingly pointing at myself
"Why does that make you shock so much, leader-nim" Someone behind our table spoke with a laughing voice
Of course it's Jimin.
"Ahhhh Jimin-ah!" Hobi happily shouted at Jimin tapping the empty seat beside him signaling Jimin to seat there.
"No it's not that. I just--" I tried to explain and calm down so I won't get caught.
"I think he remembered someone" Tae said in a playful tone while looking at me smirking.
And I thought Tae forgot everything I told about Jihye.
I glared at him not to talk about Jihye and not to talk about the topic. But of course he's Taehyung!
"Jimin, want to know something?" Tae said to Jimin while looking at me that made Jimin-- no, not just Jimin. They're all paying attention to what Taehyung's going to say.
I'm thinking of stopping him but the members will suspect I have something hiding. I tried not to make it obvious by not looking at everyone in the eyes and just looked for Jin and Yoongi
"Hyungs! Why are you both taking so long to order!?" I shouted at them pretending I'm impatient and they both just totally ignored me.
I look at the others and see them doing their own businesses so I hurriedly bring my phone out and texted Taehyung secretly so that no one can notice.
----------
To: ?
Message: Shut up or I won't pay for your food.
----------
I looked at Taehyung when he received my message and he just smirked playfully without looking at me as he quickly reply.
----------
From: ?
Message: It's okay. I have my money.
----------
He thinks he can outsmart me, huh? I looked at him once more as I pop my knuckles as I reply to him smirking
Kim Taehyung, I, too, can play this game.
----------
To: ?
Message: Then I'm just going to tell Jungkook you went out with Bogum the other day.
