Finally, it's time to go home. Yoongi says we're coming back for winter break, which is in December, so I will be forced to come then, too.

It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I spent most of my time being tortured by Mr. Park, and when I think about it, I didn't even learn anything about him. I tried, but it's almost like he avoided it entirely.

As I carried my bag down the stairs, I saw Jimin talking to Namjoon. As soon as Jimin saw me, he walked over to me and took my bag.

Before I could protest, Jimin shook his head. Namjoon walked over to me. "So, I've heard about these books of yours," Namjoon said, placing his hands in his jacket pockets. "You seem to have really impressed Jimin."

I glanced to Jimin, who motioned for me to speak. "I mean, yeah, I guess," I smiled as I looked back at Namjoon.

Namjoon nodded. "Swing by Vysers Publishing Co. sometime," Namjoon said. "We're always looking for new, young authors," he nodded to us, then he walked by me.

"Th-Thanks," I stuttered, looking at Jimin with wide eyes.

If I was brave enough, I would hug him. Mostly because he's literally helping me with my future. He didn't have to hype me up to Namjoon, but he did.

Jesus, can I marry this man already?

Jimin smirked. "You owe me another movie night, and next time, don't fall asleep halfway through," he told me. He took a step back with my bag in his hands, then he gave me a once over. "Ready?" he bit his bottom lip once his eyes met my face.

My cheeks heated up as I stared at him. I gently nodded as I took a deep breath. As we walked out of the empty hotel room, I decided to speak. "So, do I actually have detention tomorrow?" I asked as we neared the elevator.

Jimin glanced over to me, almost confused, but he quickly started to smile. "Oh, definitely," he responded, looking away.

"Why?" I whined. "I don't even do anything! I just sit there while you're on your phone," I complained.

"So? It's supposed to be a punishment," Jimin said.

I rolled my eyes as we stepped onto the elevator. "Some punishment," I mumbled.

Jimin quietly laughed as his fingers rested over the button to the first floor. He was going to hit it, but he, instead, hit the button that locks the elevator.

The doors closed and the elevator sat there. "Asha, if you want a punishment," he paused for a moment as he stepped closer to me, ultimately causing me to back into the elevator wall. Jimin dropped my bag as he placed his hands on the railing beside me. "I can give you one, all you've gotta do is give me permission," he told me as his face got closer to mine.

Oh, God, I'm trapped.

His hands are on the railing on either side of me, nearly touching my sides. I swallowed hard as my face heated up. I quietly whimpered as I looked up at him.

Oh, this is the scary, intense Jimin, who is also very, very sexy His eyes are different than before, though. They are way more intense, way more dark and mesmerizing. It's like he's hardcore eye f*****g me.

I tried to speak, but nothing came out. Why am I so turned on right now? Every thought slipped from my mind. What's his name again? Wait, no, what's my name?

The silence was interrupted by a phone ringing, which caused me to finally zone back in. Jimin took a deep breath as he pulled his phone from his back pocket, but he didn't move. He stayed directly in front of me with one hand beside me and the other holding his phone to his ear. "Yeah, Tae?" he quietly answered. "On the elevator now, be down in a minute," he hung up and slipped his phone into his pocket, then he looked down at me. "We are anything but finished here," he told me while he moved hair out of my face and pushed it behind my ear. He took a step back and pressed the button to unlock the elevator.

I realize now that I am, in fact, shaking. My legs are like Jello, and my chest feels like a bomb just went off in there. The car ride home is going to be excruciating, and school tomorrow will be even worse.
