Episode 1: Jimin's Dillema

Jimin was on his way to the elevator with his personal assistant, Mr. Song. He heavily sighed as he boarded the elevator. Mr. Song pushed the buttons of the floor where all of the other members stay in. Sasaengs and media were everywhere. They crowded the lobby and the first few floors.

His phone suddenly rang. It sent him irritable feelings.

Jimin received a text message before entering the elevator. He was frozen in place and his jaw dropped subtly. His hands were shaking. Jimin cursed a little and opened the message. He feared this day would actually come.

1 Message Received from Y/N

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

๐Ÿ’ฌ[Y/N: Jimin. I arrived in the hotel you are also in with my colleagues. We will be staying in the hotel for three days. We will be attending a conference in ***** tomorrow. I'm just saying this to you. Hope we don't bump with each other in public. ๐Ÿ™ˆ๐Ÿ™‰๐Ÿ™Š]

๐Ÿ’ฌ[Jimin: No. Why are you here? Didn't I gave you my schedule? ๐Ÿ˜ค]

๐Ÿ’ฌ[Y/N: I read it twice FYI. The higher-ups required me to attend. I just can't say no too. They told me I need this for me to gain enough points for ranking. ๐Ÿ˜‡๐Ÿ˜‡๐Ÿ˜‡]

๐Ÿ’ฌ[Jimin: Okay ๐Ÿ˜ค Just hope that we wouldn't bump into each other okay? Where are you staying?]

He clutched the handlebars of the elevator. He was really furious.

๐Ÿ’ฌ[Y/N: Building One Room 24-004]

The elevator opened. They got out. Jimin realized that Y/N is in the same building of the hotel that they're in.

๐Ÿ’ฌ[Jimin: Shoot Y/N. We're in the same building!!! ๐Ÿ˜‘]

๐Ÿ’ฌ[Y/N: Sorry ๐Ÿ˜ฑ]

Jimin did not replied and stared at the cellphone screen. He could see that sasaengs and media were not around in this floor.

"Why did my ancestors put me in this situation?,"Jimin told himself. He just let out a sigh. "What am I going to do now?"

"Mr. Park, I guess you have to avoid her at all costs. The media would flock you and would affect her life too." Mr. Song reminded Jimin.

The two were walking gently as to become unnoticeable by other people that are checked-in in the hotel rooms.

"I guess I just have to ignore her for the rest of my stay here," Jimin shrugged out of irritation. He despised Y/N because of a lot of factors.

"It's been two months since you've last saw each other," Mr. Song brought that up.

Jimin sighed and thought --- 'We didn't even have a chance to share a night together.'

"I don't love her, Mr. Song. It's a loveless marriage. I just want to respect the centuries-old pact my ancestors did." Jimin remarked.

She's not even Jimin's type.

"You cannot avoid her though Mr. Park," Mr. Song counseled.

"Fate always got in the way," Jimin replied.

Jimin stated in his head - 'You cannot avoid her Jimin. She's secretly registered as your loving wife. You have obligations too. Your family expects you to follow this seemingly petty tradition.'

"You'll soon forget about Ms. (Your bias from an idol girl group name)." Mr. Song accidentally told him.

In Jimin's head - 'Don't say it goddam--t.'

"Don't even try to say her name Mr. Song. She's just... We aren't made for each other that's all." Jimin frowned. He was pertaining to his secret ex-girlfriend that only BTS and some other staff know of.

"She's a thing of the past. She's happy with her current boyfriend now anyway." Jimin sighed. 'And you, Jimin, are left with all the sadness.'

"Sorry Mr. Park. We were just rooting for you and her."

"Aiishhh Mr. Song. You're making me sad," Jimin forced a smile at Mr. Song even though he was full of sadness. Jimin went straight in his hotel room.

"Be careful Mr. Park. There are many Sasaengs in the hotel."

"Don't worry Mr. Song, I'll be fine ๐Ÿ‘Œ," Jimin entered the room to see the members inside.

Someone greeted him, "Jimin-ah!" Taehyung approached Jimin and hugged him. "You just missed the video stream."

"Really?" Jimin appeared happy but deep inside he was already restless.

"Are all cameras off?" Namjoon told the rest of the members. The leader sternly said as if he was going to announce something important.

"Yup." The group chorused.

"PD-nim told me that Jimin's wife is in the same hotel that we are staying," Namjoon announced.

Everyone was literally jungshooked.

"Really?" Hobi asked. His forehead was sweating.

Jimin's happy smile turned into a frown, "Yeah. She's in a three-day seminar. She's a professor so she usually flies off to another country for workshops and conferences."

"Coincidence?" Namjoon interrogated. He was losing confidence over Jimin.

Jimin sat down on the couch and sighed, "It's just a coincidence. Guys, I'm panicking!!!"

Someone spoke out of the blue, "Really ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜."

Jin told Jimin slyly.

Yoongi dismissed Jin, "I guess Jimin's telling the truth.There's no one way he'd be stupid enough to let him be with the same place with his wife with all the sasaengs and media around."

Hobi seconded, "Yeah. I guess so."

"Doesn't your wife know about your schedule?" Jungkook asked seriously.

"She knows and she told me she double-checked it," Jimin told them.

"Why did this happen?" Namjoon shrugged.

"She told me that the university she's in obliged her to go. She messaged me a while ago," Jimin puts his palm on his face. The other members were saddened. They all know that Jimin is sad about the marriage. He doesn't want to be married off to a girl he barely knew.

"Yah. This is giving me a headache," Jin told the rest of the members. Jin has his own problems. He will be enlisted this year. He doesn't want to waste his time.

Namjoon sighed and looked at the members, "Are you going to visit her?"

Jimin gulped. His family wanted him and Y/N to consummate their marriage immediately. Both of their parents are asking for a grandchild already. That's Jimin's dillema that he only knows. He wanted to bring it up to the members.

"Guys. I have to tell you something," Jimin was reluctant.

"What is it?" Namjoon told him.

"Tell us." Taehyung seconded.

"What? Gonna visit her?" Jin responded.

Taehyung cleared his throat, "Let's just wait for him to open up. He's rarely like this."

"If I'm going to see her, it will be too risky," Jimin told them. He hesitated and sighed as he clutched his phone. A tear escaped from his eyes. "Life is just so unfair."

"Just tell it to us!!!" Taehyung cannot take it anymore.

Jungkook spoke, "Yah. Whoa whoa Tae! I thought we're going to wait for Jimin's response?"

Taehyung cleared his throat again.

"Come on. Tell us," Yoongi calmly said.

"What is it?" Hobi cackled.

"My family and Y/N's family wanted to consummate our marriage immediately. Our parents wanted to rear a grandchild that would be the heir to the company," Jimin told them.

All of the members facepalmed. They were so pissed.

"Yah. Jiminie." Jin screamed.

"Ooof." Jungkook was jungshooked.

"Pffffft." Yoongi was BOTHERED.

And then there's Taehyung, "Ah Jimin. Is that a problem?"

Namjoon's temple veins throbbed, "Jimin. That is not our problem. At the end of the day it's your decision. JIMIN."

"You aren't inexperienced yourself. We know that," Hobi realistically said.

Then Taehyung tapped Jimin's shoulders, "Just do it. ๐Ÿ˜ Why all teary-eyed?"

Jimin was shaking in his seat, "I'm not ready to become a father yet."

Well all of the members are.

Jin responded, "Ah. Now we get your point."

Namjoon sighed, "I guess we got to lie to the Army sometimes. They will understand."

All of the members agreed.

"Sure. Guys what am I going to do now?" Jimin told the members.

Hobi was drinking his sprite.

Out of the blue, Jin said, "Get ready for some action then. ๐Ÿ˜"

"Yah!!! Jin-hyung!???" Sprite literally came out of Hoseok's nose ๐Ÿ˜‚

Namjoon had enough of these babos.

Yoongi being unbothered again, "We'll be attending the awards tomorrow so we must get some sleep already but it's Jimin's choice after all."

Taehyung told Jimin, "Visit your wife. She's still your wife at the end of the day. Just be careful."

Jungkook patted Jimin's shoulder, "We'll help you. Don't worry."

Jin asked, "How???"

Hoseok brought up, "I have a plan."

"What is it?" Namjoon's eyes focused.

"We'll all get out of the hotel room and some of us will attract the media out of the certain area where the two will meet. Jimin will disguise himself and would sneak out of the room and into his wife's room." Hobi suggested.

Yoongi was dismayed, "You made it seem easy to do Hoseok but it's too hard to do." Yoongi frowned.

"Don't worry Jimin. We'll help you see your wife," Jungkook smiled at Jimin.

"Now it's settled. Let us commence Operation Wife!" Namjoon sternly stated.

Jin laughed, "W-I-F-E. Wifeu!"

"Yah. Get outta here Jin-hyung!!!" Hobi halfed-joke at him while laughing.

"Thanks guys. ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š" Jimin smiled."

"Where are we going exactly if we're sneaking out of the hotel?" Jungkook asked.

"You can go shopping. It's all on me guys." Jimin thankfully stated.

"Whoa." Taehyung gasped. It's the first time Jimin said that to them. Everyone was shooked.

"Since it's my problem, I rather suffer the consequences." Jimin smiled.

"Don't be too hard on yourself Jimin." Yoongi said as he puts a hand on Jimin's shoulders.

Namjoon smiled, "We're not going to spend anyone's money anyway. It's all charged in the company. We have a budget for that. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜"

"Jimin's just bragging. He received a solo endorsement." Jin stated.

Hobi snickered, "You're just jealous."

"Well. Going back! What are we going to do now?" Jungkook asked again.

They all looked at each other. They did not even blinked or bat on eyelash. Jin went to his room and hurriedly came back.
