❤︎I promise to handle your heart
with care and treasure it
with utmost love❤︎
___________________________
Days turned into weeks and weeks turned into seven months since Jungkook and Jimin started a new chapter of their life after all those hardships.
The heart beats faster in his ribcage, as he breathes heavily walking down the stage. He grabs a water bottle from the small fridge and plops himself on the floor, gulping down almost full water from the bottle, he throws his head back. Taking deep breaths to calm his racing heart.
"That was...Wow '' One of his team members exclaimed sitting beside him followed by other members too. Sihyukie quickly took a seat beside Jungkook before anyone could sit and that didn't go unnoticed by Jungkook who internally chuckles and shakes his head.
"I know right," Another member chirped. "But it is fun to do vocal practice on japanese songs" he adds and others are quick to agree with him. Jungkook silently nods but his eyes keep glancing at the main door of the hall while his fingers are capping the bottle.
"But it's more fun when we get a lunch break, am I right Jungkookie Hyung?" Sihyuk's tone teasing but Jungkook missed to understand.
"Right right" Jungkook swiftly nods and it's when he got what the younger boy actually meant. His team members are wiggling their eyes at him making his cheeks tinted with a pretty pink blush.
"I didn't mean-"
"Of course you don't, Hyung," Sihyukie laughed with a wink.
"Don't tease my baby" Everyone's head quickly turns towards the source of the voice and they see Jimin standing there towering over them but not in an intimidating way but with a lovesick smile on his face and that is just for Jungkook. Others are not lucky to get that smile from him.
Poor them.
If his ears didn't turn red before now it is absolutely red as he and others get up from the floor.
"We are not teasing your baby, Jimin hyung" Everyone burst into fits of laughter and Jungkook wanted nothing more than to hide somewhere and let's look deep into his heart. That place would actually be Jimin's arms.
It's a secret shhhhh.
"You better don't" Jimin declared before pecking Jungkook's cheek.
"Jimin" Jungkook internally squealed at the sudden bold moves Jimin does. He should be already used to it but everytime Jimin does it in front of others it always feels new and thrilling. He can't get used to it, at least not now.
"Not in front of my eyes" "Not again" "OhmyGod" "Cute" are the words that are mumbled by the retreating team members, who shake their heads on their way to the cafeteria. They had seen enough of Jungkook and Jimin being like this together, it's nothing new for them really. But honestly they are very fond of their love and can't help but to tease instead of saying the obvious thing that they love when they are like this.
"You are red" Jimin started with a teasing smile.
Jungkook turns away to place the bottle back down "Can't help" he replies before turning back towards Jimin who seriously can't stop smiling at him and that doesn't help the taller one to stay calm either. His heart is fluttering.
"Stop smiling like that" Jungkook complained before pulling Jimin in a tight hug earning fond chuckles from the smaller. "I missed you" it's obvious and a thing for Jungkook to say whenever he isn't by Jimin's side for a while.
"Me too" he replies back with a light kiss on his pretty neck.
These light and meaningful gestures are all the things that would make his day brighter.
Of Course that includes Jimin himself.
Months passed and the awkward and tense atmosphere was finally over. It was difficult for them to move on by forgetting everything. First month was just not that good. Harder to let everything behind and move on just like they were when pretending to be husbands.
It'd be Jungkook who was a bit hesitant in doing anything. Going out, holding hands or even a kiss which they had shared before was too much to count, but the taller one was back to a hesitant person and Jimin understood it completely because he was too a little bit.
But that didn't stop Jimin from showing his love for Jungkook with light and gentle pecks or just cooking for him from his home. They didn't sleep over the first few weeks.
Jungkook needed time and so did Jimin. It just didn't feel right to be like before so fast and sudden.
The slow walk towards the real journey was better-they'd thought. It was a silent agreement and Jungkook was glad for that.
Nope that didn't mean they stopped showing the sweet gestures they often do for each other after the first month was over.
Different types of flowers were almost always brought at night, after a couple of weeks for Jimin on his way back home. Giving a flower and earning a kiss from Jimin and he'd call that a happy day and would sleep alone but still with a lingering feeling of Jimin's lips on his cheek.
Though it was tough for them to sleep alone, they always yearned for the warm feeling of being in each other's arms and sleeping soundly and when it was getting hard Jungkook started giving some signs that he really wanted Jimin to sleepover and the smaller was fast to catch it.
Happily came over one night surprising the taller who actually became like the happiest man on earth but that actually lasted for a few hours until Jungkook started crying and Jimin swore his heart dropped at the sight. The fear was once again there, he was ready to scold himself and say a bunch of sorry's to Jungkook but the taller shushed him by pulling him closer when the smaller was trying to get up for him.
Upon asking why he was crying the answer surprised him.
"Why are you crying baby? Tell-"
"I'm just too overwhelmed, sorry" he sniffles, snuggling closer to Jimin if that was even possible because of the close proximity.
A fond smile made its way to Jimin's lips "Don't be sorry baby. It's okay. I'm here" he is quick to caress his hair in a way to relax him.
"Having you close to me after so long I just- I missed sleeping while holding you" Jimin stares at the boy before planting a kiss underneath his lips, specifically on the mole.
"So did I baby, but I'm here with you, aren't I? Let's enjoy this moment" Jungkook nods in his neck with a sniffle while Jimin lovingly caresses the taller one's hair which is growing longer. He leans in again to kiss Jungkook's closed teary eyes. Pulling the taller closer, Jungkook's head snuggled in his neck and arms wrapped around his waist even his legs are draped over Jimin, like a koala.
Cute, isn't it?.
It has become too normal yet special every time Jimin would kiss his eyes. Not only when he gets emotional but Jimin just kisses his eyes way too often even including the skin where his heart is. Jungkook loved it but the question stayed in his heart for a while, until he asked Jimin about this and the reply actually shocked him.
"I kiss them because these are the same beautiful eyes that have shed continuous tears when you were hurting because of me..... The same heart that would experience a painful time.....and everytime I look in your eyes I-I want to kiss them for every tear..for the times they saw me being in love with someone else..."
Jungkook was speechless at the words and not sure how to respond to that. He only pulls Jimin in a warm hug. Thanking him, kissing his head. Jungkook knew that it wasn't the sole reason Jimin does it. Because Jimin still hasn't forgiven himself. Even though it wasn't his fault. Jungkook has told him not to blame himself and Jimin does say 'okay' but the taller one knows that's a lie.
Every time they'd sleep together, Jungkook would hear the smaller whispers 'sorry's' to him, and hear him silently sob, not knowing the taller one was awake most of the time.
It broke Jungkook's heart. He wanted to tell Jimin to forgive himself and don't say sorry but the smaller one was admanet to do what he wanted and slowly by slowly Jungkook would just hint them to forget everything and move on. There is nothing to be sorry about. What was supposed to happen had happened already. There is no crying over it and that they are together just because of those hardships.
It was Jungkook's turn now who'd thought his love was nothing in front of Jimin who was doing just everything to show his love, make him happy. It was just beautiful.
If anyone saw them who knew nothing of their story they surely would think Jimin is spoiling Jungkook with his love.
But Jungkook loves it, after all it's the thing he has dreamed of and he doesn't care about someone's opinion.
They are happy in their own world.
Jimin smiles when a pair of arms wrapped around his waist and a warm body is pressed against his back.
"Morning" Jungkook whispers in his neck, planting a kiss there.
"Morning, Sweetheart" Jimin has found different names to call Jungkook and the taller one actually loves it. "I was coming up to wake you" he added while turning the pancake upside down and went back to cutting the strawberries.
"I was thinking of having breakfast with you at Seokjin Hyung's cafe and you ruined my plan" Jungkook pouts nibbling the side of Jimin's neck.
Jimin elbows him lightly "It tickles you brat and you didn't inform me about your so called plan or else I wouldn't have made the breakfast"
"I know but I wanted to go with you today" Jungkook whined, making Jimin chuckle profoundly at him.
"We can plan it next weekend, baby. I already made us breakfast" Jungkook hums in his neck and Jimin turns around to face the person he loves so much and he actually looks so cute in the morning that doesn't help him but to feather him with all the morning kisses and adoration.
"You look cute" Jungkook rolls his eyes but the smile remains on his lips.
"You always say this, Mr.Reminder" Jimin laughs then leans up to peck his natural pink lips "Wants you to always remember the fact"
"Yeah yea. Now can I get a proper kiss already?" Jungkook pulls the boy closer, their bodies pressed against each other. Jimin's back against the counter.
"Ask nicely and you will get it" And here this boy goes back to it again.
Jimin wants to laugh at Jungkook's face which makes him into an angry puppy. The smaller teases him by running his fingers on his cheek.
"Cmon' baby" he blinks his eyes up at him sweetly, eyelashes fluttering.
Jungkook swears his heart flips at the beautiful man in front of him. Actually it always does but right now he can't help but feel a spark of delightfulness that this man is his and no one else's.
He leans down to bump their noses together "Can I have a kiss, baby? I will buy you mochis" Jimin didn't mean to laugh but he did and soon captured Jungkook's smiley lips into a lovely and sweet kiss. Jungkook closed his eyes and kissed back while smiling in between and hugging closer to Jimin. It feels electrifying.
He is even out of words to describe this feeling. He has gotten kisses from Jimin more than he could ever imagine but everytime he gives it feels like heaven on earth. He feels giddy inside and literally he can't get enough.
It's not his fault, he swears.
"Love you" Jimin mumbles between their kiss making Jungkook smile even wider and break the kiss.
He gives a quick peck on his red lips "I love me too" And then he runs outside the kitchen leaving Jimin behind, shocked.
"This brat I swear..." He shakes his head as he places the strawberries beside the pancakes and spreads maple syrup on top.
They enjoy the breakfast while talking about random things, well not random if that includes them flirting here and there with each other and that's just how their morning would often go. Becomes more fun when Mr and Mrs.Jeon join them for breakfast. It was always a pleasant sight to see.
A beautiful family picture.
Nope, Jimin doesn't stay for a night at their house daily. It could be either four or five days a week and they both were happy with it.
Because after all they still haven't named their relationship. They never discussed it. But they casually called each other husband in a way to tease.
Things were going smooth like very smooth for them, no hardships at all. Jungkook was working on his career and was happy there.
Jimin, who didn't want to stay idle at home, decides to work back at Seokjin's cafe again. He even asked permission from Jungkook who got upset saying that Jimin can do whatever he wants. He doesn't have to ask permission from doing anything and so Jimin re-enters in Seokjin's cafe, who welcomes him with open arms.
"Let's go out on a date" Jimin announced when he barged into Jungkook's room and saw the taller one working on his laptop who flinched at the loud sound and removed his headphones.
"Wha-" Jimin walks towards him, cutting him off.
"Let's go somewhere, the weather is nice" Jungkook looked at the watch and saw its eleven at night.
"But it's late, baby. I'm also not done with recording" Jungkook reasoned but the smaller did not stop.
"You can do it tomorrow, please"
"I can't" Jungkook made an apologetic face.
Jimin stands there angrily crossing his arms together while his eyes stare hard at Jungkook's back who is already putting his headphones back on.
The weather was really good outside, the cool breeze was just too good as if the winter was coming sooner. He suddenly was craving ice cream and instead of eating at home he put on his shoes and ran to the taller's house wanting to go with him and eat ice cream with him or might as well share just one, who cares he will love either way.
"You really not going?" Jimin asks again and Jungkook shakes his head as a 'no'.
"I swear I won't take long, please" This time Jungkook doesn't hear him as his focus goes back to the recording he was listening to.
Jimin huffs standing there eyeing Jungkook for a few more minutes until he gets a devilish idea in his playful mind. He takes a quick look at himself in the side mirror and opens one more button of his sleepwear shirt and ruffles his hair messily before suppressing his mischievous smile into a more intimidating and sexy one.
He walks towards Jungkook and reaches his face level and wraps his arms around his shoulder earning a visible tense from Jungkook's body. "I wanna go, baby" he whispers which is obviously unheard by Jungkook because of the headphones and the song that is playing. Jimin doesn't stop here and turns his head towards his face and catches his earlobe between his plump lips that send an electrifying shiver down the taller's whole body.
"Jimin.." Jungkook trails off when Jimin nibbles on his earlobe even more. His hands reached down on his chest, and his nibbling never stopped. "Jimin baby...don't-I have work to d-do..." Jungkook said turning of the music
"I won't stop until you agree" Jimin replies with a kiss on his neck, his voice husky.
"I can't, baby. I still have a lot to do" Jimin rolls his eyes and retreats back from Jungkook and comes in front of him.
Wide doe eyes are staring at Jimin with complete confusion and something that Jimin actually guessed. He keeps his smile to himself and does the next move that completely shocked Jungkook who gasped loudly.
Jimin comes closer and sits on Jungkook's laps, straddling him completely while seductively staring at Jungkook who is still processing what is happening. Jimin wants to laugh but controls it and continues his work of seducing him. Jimin reaches forward to brush his full lips on Jungkook's stunned opened ones.
"I just wanted to have ice cream with you" he mumbles a sudden pout on display for a few seconds before it vanishes to his previous expression "You meany" then he captures those inviting lips into a passionate kiss. He moves his lips slowly yet lovingly against Jungkook's. He kisses him for a good minute before tracing his lips to his jaw and then goes back to his bitten raw lips. Jimin nibbles on them, continuing his teasings. Just when he gives a kittenish lick to his lower lip, Jungkook jerks.
"Fine, let's..g-go" he stutters, the teasing was too much. He wasn't ready for it. He just wanted to work on the song and instead he was getting teased by none other than Jimin. Seductive Jimin to be exact at this late hour.
"No" Jungkook looks at him but before he could ask why Jimin is diving back to his lips "Just figured out your lips taste much better than ice cream" he whispers with a smile gracing his red lips as his eyes are peeking at Jungkook's dark brown wide eyes.
Jimin is kissing him like it's the last thing that he will get to have. His lips nibbled on his lips nicely and tongue teasing, asking Jungkook to open his mouth but boy Jungkook didn't open it. He doesn't want to give it away so easily like before and that annoys Jimin.
"You like to play dangerous games, don't you? Always changing plans at the last minutes" He raised one eyebrow while his hands went down at the hem of his shirt and sneakily went up, touching his warm skin sending tingles to Jimin's body.
Coming from the surprise comeback from Jungkook's sudden change. He is fast to cover his shock expression "If it's with you then yes I do" Jimin answered confidently, with a quick bite on his lip.
The answer seems to please Jungkook so much that he caress his bare back with his fingertips and eyes staring at the inviting collarbones and he knows for a fact the boy does everything like this on purpose it can't be accident every time while Jimin has to find every strong will not to react to his touches "I like that, you little tease" he whispers, amused and pulls Jimin flushed against his chest and grabs his face with one hand to kiss him back with the same favour that earns a moan from Jimin. The taller one smirks at the sound.
Jungkook kissed him with more force and passion that even Jimin was shocked for a second. The smaller one's arms lock behind his neck and his fingers play with his hair. Their heartbeat fastening and an arousing feeling fires in their stomach but they don't stop the kiss which has gotten even more furious than they both intended to.
Their bodies are hot, hands roaming up and down on Jimin's body who is breathing heavily against his lips. Their lower bodies are urging them to have some friction and it's killing Jimin not to do what he has been really wanting to do but he can't. He is not sure if Jungkook is even ready. So he stopped himself from doing anything that could trigger and lost his mind to do something that Jungkook wouldn't want for now.
"Let's-Let's cuddle, please" Jimin requests and Jungkook is fast to comply, holding Jimin carefully he gets up from the chair and walks towards his bed, laying the smaller down who is quick to grab Jungkook and pulling him with him. The taller one laughs and plants a kiss on his forehead before joining him on the bed scooping Jimin in his arms, giving multiple kisses on his forehead and cheek. basically all over his face.
"Love you so much" Jungkook mumbles in his ear, making Jimin smile warmly.
"I love you too" are the words that makes Jungkook more than happy because they are coming from His Jimin.
He cuddles Jimin till he is sleeping peacefully and even though he doesn't want to get up and leave Jimin, he has to. So planting a kiss on his forehead again he gets up.
They don't actually go farther than a hot make out session. Unlike before they are more verbal with their emotions. Let each other know what they are feeling and the other understands it.
The slow ride was more beautiful than doing something in a hurry and not enjoying the moments. It was better this way, understanding each other more.
Because it was obvious how both were ecstatic and their relationship was glowing. It was the thing that made their mothers hearts content too.
And sticking to his promise Jimin has made Jungkook smile every single day and that smile wasn't a fake instead it was a genuine one and that alone made Jimin accomplish something that he has been wanting and he will continue to do just that. While Jungkook was becoming more of his real self. He was back to show his love freely because this time he didn't have any insecurity like before that Jimin will go away from him.
He was free to love.
He was free from unrequited love.
There was finally nothing that would hold him back from loving Jimin just the way he wanted. He was openly affectionate with him.
He was buoyant and he made sure the other was too, every time.
✫✫✫✫✫
On the other hand, Yugyeom is doing good too. The boy had the hardest time to collect himself and his broken heart. He had the most difficult time.
He did say to everyone he is gonna be okay soon but he himself knew it was a lie. If it had been a fake love it'd be easy to forget and get over but his love was one of true love.
He loved Jimin with all his heart and forgetting his feelings for Jimin was the hardest. It felt like his soul was leaving him. It had hurt him deeply.
It took him time.
More than he had thought, even now he can't forget it completely. The feelings are there deep in his heart but he suppressed it. Nope, it doesn't hurt like before.
The only thought that had made him go on his path was that Jimin and Jungkook are happy. It was the best feeling.
And the person who was with him throughout his hard time. That person might don't have any idea about that though and that was none other than Hoseok.
The night Jimin and Jungkook patched up. Yugyeom left the next day to his hometown, Ilsan. He wanted to stay where it would be easy for him to move on and that was the best place. He has his grandparents there and a few friends. It would be a great distraction for him and it was. It'd have been even harder if he stayed here where Jimin and Jungkook are. It'd have been even difficult for them to work on their relationship and he didn't want that.
That night he gave the handwritten letter to Hoseok and asked him to give it to his best friends. He had no will to go and face them. He knew he would break down there and he didn't want that either. So he left a letter so they won't worry.
_______☘︎________
My Dear Best Friends,
First of all congratulations to both of you. Believe me I'm so happy for you both. I know the letter might surprise you when you will receive it and most probably that time I won't be here anymore. I need time for myself and I'm going to my hometown. I hope you understand my decision. I don't know how much time it will take but I promise I will be back soon and Kook... let me see the happy you when I come back. Please do not feel guilty or anything. You both don't dare to blame yourselves. It would hurt me to see that... Kook I forgave you, like there wasn't anything at all to forgive you. Yes I'm hurt that you didn't tell me that you love Jimin but it's okay you know. But please know that you have a very deep place in my heart from the moment you held a friendship hand for me when I was alone here. I had no one. You are my everything. So it'd hurt me to know you are living in guilt because of me and I don't want that. You have Jimin now and keep fighting for him. Never leave him because he was meant to be yours not mine and Jimin don't cry, okay? I'll be okay. If you promise to be strong and be happy and make Jungkook happy too. Promise me?... Good boy. You have always been the most important person in my life and every second spent with you was great. Everyone must think i'm so stupid and too good and forgiving person...but I was always like that..I was a shy timid person with no friends at all for the first few months here. I was alone then you both came into life, the ever sweet persons. Then how do you think I would be? I was grateful and that feeling has always been in my heart and what is wrong in not being angry at you both. Everyone makes mistakes and what if you did. Its okay. It's completely fine. So don't blame, it's nobody's fault. I love you both so much. That brat is lucky to have you Jimin. Don't let a single tear let out of my favourite doe eyes and he also better don't make you cry. I know you both are crying and to be honest I'm too...but it is what it is. Just be happy, both of you okay?. When I come back I want to see a happy couple and please, it's a request...let's not talk about this ever again and I hope you both understand that. I just need time and space. I will be back okay. I can't leave two stubborn people together alone for a long time.....Because my life is not complete without you both at all. I love you both. Once again don't cry, I'm not there to wipe your tears anymore. And I hope you both never cry. I wish you both luck and happiness. After reading this letter I want you to hug each other and be each other's comfort like you both have always been. I will get my share of hugs too when I will come. Till then....I'll miss you both.
Yours truly the amazing, loveliest, cutest and the sweetest best friend in the whole world.
Yugyeomie,
*hugs and kisses*

The time was heartbreaking for Jimin and Jungkook. They cried a lot after reading the letter. It was a tough time for them too because they missed Yugyeom each day. They wanted to talk but Hoseok told them he doesn't want to and to give him space which would be best for him and they agreed. They hoped everyday for Yugyeom to be okay soon. And no matter what Jimim couldn't erase the feeling of hurt that Yugyeom was hurt because of him. But then he'd remember Yugyeom's words.
Yugyeom had tried every way to erase the feelings and get over Jimin. After spending days with his old friends trying his best to distract his mind away and helping his grandparents had helped him alot.
He could only get leave from his work for a few weeks until he had to get back on the working track. But he wasn't ready to go back. His parents still weren't on talking terms with him and that was another thing that had depressed him. He had tried to contact them and tell them to take care of the work but they didn't agree saying they are busy. So having no other choice, he was actually left with the last but the best option.
He hesitantly texted Hoseok and asked for his help. Yugyeom used to discuss some work things with Hoseok because the boy was great at advising him. The older one had helped him a lot whenever he needed some advice and he was always grateful for that.
And as per his expectations Hoseok agreed to help him wherever he could be helped and so their supposed to be work journey started from there. It was going great and like always Hoseok's intelligence has surprised Yugyeom every time and he had only one question: why was an intelligent boy like Hoseok doing the job of an administrative assistant in the company because he deserves something better than that.
Though he didn't say anything to him. He will when the time is right. Hoseok actually got tired managing his own work because it has gotten more. Being a receptionist was easier but that didn't pay well but after going to higher rank his work got even more and then Yugyeom's work was almost on his shoulders too. It was getting tiring for the boy. So instead of refusing to help Yugyeom he took the days off as per Yugyeom's request but he forgot to leave the application for his leave.
That left him with a terminal letter in his hands. He wasn't even given the chance to explain either. He had already gotten a warning letter weeks before when he was with Jungkook and he should've expected it. Even took more days off when he was sick.
It had a great impact on him. He had only this job to do and he couldn't lose it. He needed it badly. That night on video call when Yugyeom was sharing his idea about shares, Hoseok suddenly started crying.
Upon asking Hoseok tells him that he lost his job today and Yugyeom has surprised him with his reaction.
"That's great!" The boy chirps, making Hoseok tilt his head in confusion while annoyance is on his face.
"You have to be kidding me, Yugyeom. I lost my job here and you are showing happiness?"
Yugyeom shakes his head as his happy smile never fades "Of Course, I'd be happy"
Hoseok glares at him while ruffly wiping his tears. "I'm signing off brat, Don't talk to m-"
"Wait wait wait- listen-" And the video chat is over. He couldn't believe that out of all Yugyeom would react to his problem like this.
"I hate him" he mumbles angrily and shuts his laptop off.
The very next day Hoseok saw a letter in the mailbox. Sleeping all day has gotten him still so tired that he literally wanted to sleep again. He was also surprised that Yugyeom didn't even apologize for his behaviour last night. That was another thing that was irritating him. It was evening when he decided to open the letter and his eyeballs went wide like a soccer ball. He couldn't believe it, he rubbed his eyes thinking it was just a sleep but no it really was what he had read.
As per bold words written inside the letter. He was congratulated for being a Secretary of Kim Enterprises's CEO.
And that CEO is none other than Kim Yugyeom.
That brat- Okay not a brat anymore but how? So fast? When did he give the interview? Was he even capable?. So many questions and he had no answer for any of them.
That's when his phone vibrated and the said brat's name was on display. He quickly replied to him, more like bombarded him with questions. Yugyeom simply tells him that he actually didn't have any secretary and he needed someone that is actually capable of that position and he already had in his mind to ask him but didn't get time to. He is intelligent and all that's what he was looking for, in his Secretary and Hoseok was best for this position. A deserving one.
Hoseok had tears in his eyes, they were happy ones unlike the last time. Hoseok wanted to give a grateful hug to the younger.
And that's how their journey as Boss and Secretary started after almost three months. It is magical to be honest. They were a nice duo and just like the younger had expected Hoseok was great in handling everything there.
Yugyeom was feeling a lot better by then. Having a complete distraction by Hoseok. They actually have gotten closer than before. Talking about almost everything with each other.
On the way, Hoseok actually got some likeness on Yugyeom but he couldn't voice it out knowing what Yugyeom had gone through. It was just unexpected, okay not that, he actually liked him ever since Yugyeom had approached him for help months back then but he was just refusing it all the time. So it was sudden to know he was fucked up because the feelings kept growing more.
Out of all, why Yugyeom? Why his Boss?
And just like any other to stop feeling like this he decided to go on dates. It was better to get into a relationship.
In one of the video calls with Yugyeom he actually blurted out that he was dating someone. Like always Yugyeom's reaction surprised him this time too. He couldn't even see if Yugyeom was angry or happy. Perhaps he was the one to see him angry. The reaction was given properly by Yugyeom when he started giving him more and more work.
Hoseok once again started having a hard time managing his dating life and work. He suddenly had an outburst on Yugyeom one night, telling him to stop giving him so much work. He was tired. He was done. He wanted a rest. Without letting the boy answer he cuts the call.
The next few days it kept on, he didn't go to work but stayed at home and worked from there too. He didn't even talk about anything else except work.
He tried to go on another date with the person he was seeing but the thought of Yugyeom came crashing on him and he hated it.
After a week of their fight Hoseok receives a sudden call from Yugyeom in the morning when he was leaving the cafè and was about to head to work.
"H-Hello" Hoseok greets uncomfortably as he was actually holding onto files which were slipping from his hold.
"Can I help you with them?"
"Huh? No, not really just send me the email-wait" It's after a good beat that he realizes the voice didn't come from the other line but from behind him. His heart beats in his chest as he turns around carefully and he almost had a heart attack. Yugyeom, his Boss, was standing so close to him while smiling as his phone pressed against his ear. He loses balance on the files and Yugyeom is fast to catch them before they scatter on the ground.
"I-I'm not dreaming, am I?" Hoseok mumbles to himself still in utter shock.
Yugyeom laughs "Well you are not, Hoseok-sii"
"OhMyGod, you are back! I'm so happy" Yugyeom didn't expect the sudden hug from Hoseok who seemed more excited than he'd expected and that actually made Yugyeom chuckle and his ears heating up.
They were in front of the company for God sake. Everyone was watching them. He gently just placed a hand on his shoulder with a tap and that seemed to make him realize what he was doing so he backed away immediately. His cheeks red as he says sorry.
"I'm-I'm sorry" Yugyeom wanted to hug Hoseok back but he couldn't because of the place and in all honesty he actually came out rude even if it wasn't intentional.
"It's fine.. let's go inside" Hoseok trails behind him with an ache in his heart.
After the day was over and it was time for Hoseok to go home. Yugyeom stood up from where he was seated and pulled Hoseok into a hug.
"I'm sorry" he whispered.
"It's nothing"
"I didn't know it was burdening you….I'm sorry. I will make sure it won't happen again" Hoseok rolls his eyes but deep down the butterflies were literally telling otherwise. He was happy the boy was back.
"It's okay. You tell, how are you?"
"Let's talk about this over a nice dinner. My treat!" Yugyeom winks.
Hoseok came to know that Yugyeom actually arrived last night and hasn't told Jungkook and Jimin about that for now. He wanted to surprise them just like he did to Hoseok. Yugyeom seemed happy and it was relieving enough for the older one. They talk about a lot of things.
The surprising plan for Jungkook and Jimin actually went pretty well if you don't count the boys who started crying after seeing him after so long. They hugged each other for a long time spend the whole day which seemed to be so short for them but they continued to have get togethers and sticked to Yugyeom's letter they doesn't discussed the past. They managed to make time to meet each other. Telling stories they have missed on. It's going great.
Whatever they wanted to say was in the eyes and Yugyeom had seen it, making them feel better by embracing them.
The trio hugs were always the best.
Time passed and Hoseok told the couple about his feelings for Yugyeom and of course they were taken aback but soon after they encouraged him to confess seeing it was hard for Yugyeom to do even if he had feelings or not.
He tells them about how sometimes protective Yugyeom would get at random times and would often actually get him a coffee and he was being overly sweet with him, but his every move had this uncertain hesitation in them.
Jungkook didn't want Hoseok to go through the same as him. He didn't want him to be a coward and hide his feelings and make a mistake. So he tells him to give it a shot instead of hiding it.
And he does what Jungkook has told him.
"I want to talk" Hoseok bargs inside Yugyeom's office who is startled at the sudden loud sound and on top it was Hoseok.
"What is it?" He asks, his eyes going back to type whatever he was typing.
Hoseok walks towards him banging his hand on his desk. "I said. I want to talk" Once again startling the younger who was about to ask about the weird behaviour the older was doing but stopped and gulps unknowingly.
"Okay...? I'm all ears. Go ahead"
Hoseok takes a deep breath and starts, literally digging a ground underneath to hide from embarrassment he is about to feel.
"I know it will be s-sudden and you haven't expected it from me but I couldn't help it...I tried to suppress them but I couldn't...It was hard...I know what you have been through so I didn't want to pressure you or-or anything until someone told me to do it before its-it's too late..and you don't have to answer me or feel bad for saying no-"
"Hyung. What do you want to say? For what I don't have to answer..?" Yugyeom knitted his eyebrows, genuinly confused.
Hoseok bits his lip and chants 'It's now or never' in his head before he confesses to Yugyeom, his Boss.
"I like you, Yugyeom"
Silence
Pin drop silence.
"W-What?" His breath is caught in his throat, unable to breath at the sudden confession from Hoseok. It has to be a joke. How on earth does he like him?.
"I said I like you. Why don't you hear in one go" Hoseok frowns deeply, his cheeks are red as a beetroot. Yugyeom is doing nothing but staring at him with wide eyes that added more embarrassment to his already embarrassed self.
"I-I don't know what to say" Yugyeom laughs awkwardly, eyes wavering here and there. It was an awkward tension that was eating Hoseok inside.
Hoseok fiddles with his lower shirt button, his hands are shaking from nervousness. "It's okay...I know how you must be feeling... I just wanted to let it out so I did.." he trails off then he looks up at Yugyeom who is staring somewhere else "You don't have t-to answer it at all....No hard feelings'' Hoseok awkwardly chuckles in the end.
"When?" Yugyeom asks before meeting Hoseok's eyes. "Since when did you feel this way towards me?" His voice is blank of any emotions and it was hard to understand how Yugyeom is feeling. Even his expression was blank like one of those meetings he attends.
"I don't-I mean I was attracted to you before- I mean no like-like way before but I didn't know it would reach here where I will be confessing you-I mean I'm sorry" Hoseok was afraid of hatred Yugyeom will have towards him even though he knows Yugyeom isn't a person to hate but still.
"It's fine Hyung, calm down" he starts, pushing the glass of water towards Hoseok "As you already said, it's true I'm not ready to start any relationship....A part of me is still scared and I can't have that again... I came back here with the thought that I won't get romantic feelings for anyone. You are an amazing person Hyung and it's just surprising to have a confession from you and I don't want to be rude or anything but I don't know-I don't feel the same...I'm sorry"
The hurt was evident in Hoseok's eyes, his heart was crushed by someone he had come to like but he expected this answer. So mustering up the courage and smiling he leaves his Boss's office with tears in eyes.
The next whole week the tension stayed like that and when it was time for everyone to leave after the late night meeting and just like he did the last time he stopped Hoseok from leaving the meeting room by grabbing his hand, his hold gentle.
"Are you still upset?" Yugyeom asks softly, biting the inside of his cheek.
"There is nothing to be upset about, Mr.Kim"
"You don't call me that when we are alone" Yugyeom points out and Hoseok rolls his eyes.
"I told you there is nothing" Yugyeom takes a step closer to him.
"You have been off ever since...that day. You don't talk to me either. I feel lonely even when you are with me" the voice is soft as silk chocolate, Hoseok almost felt bad.
"I'm just not in the mood to talk. I'm sorry if I came out rude...It won't happen again" Yugyeom only nods at that with a small smile, his hands are sweaty and Hoseok notices as if he was nervous about something.
"Let me go," Hoseok exclaimed, wriggling his hand but the grip only tightened even more.
"What..What if I don't want to….?" That made Hoseok whip his head up to look at the younger boy, eyebrows furrow.
"What?"
"I-I thought about that...I want to give it a try"
His heart is thumping in his chest "What are you trying to say?"
Yugyeom actually glares at Hoseok for being suddenly dumb. "I said I want to date you"
To say Hoseok got a heart attack was an understatement. He was in pure disbelief. He couldn't believe it. He had lost his hope and suddenly Yugyeom is here
"Please...don't joke around-"
"I'm not, okay?....I've thought about that and I think I want to try...You are a nice person and we actually uh match in a lot of aspects which is a miracle and most of all you are understanding... So yeah..I uh would like to give us a chance..Only if i'm not late and you are already dating som-"
"Of Course Yes!. I can't believe this" Hoseok's eyes are twinkling in happiness and there is this proud feeling that sparks in Yugyeom's heart that it was because of him. "I'm so happy, God. Thank you" Yugyeom's breath is heavy as his heart is beating fast. He takes one last step and wraps his arms around Hoseok.
"I really hope this will work, Hyung" Yugyeom whispers, his voice is holding hope and yet anxiously hesitant.
Hoseok returns the warm hug throwing away all the anxiety the boy was having. "So do I, we will make this right." he replies. He will make sure it will work.
And just like that their little flower blooms into a much bigger and fragrant one. Even though it was hard for Yugyeom, he still put his best into their relationship just like Hoseok who was trying his utmost best to make everything right.
Yugyeom was glowing and it could be seen by Jungkook and Jimin. Words won't be enough to describe their happiness when they get to know that Yugyeom and Hoseok were dating. They were too happy to be true. Content that their best friend is giving a try and more than that Yugyeom was feeling better internally and that was all Jungkook and Jimin needed to feel relieved.
Because he had a company by his side who was his supporter, his warm breeze in cold nights, his happiness, his love in the name of Hoseok.
✫✫✫✫✫
Even after months Jungkook and Jimin still haven't officially named anything to their relationship. It was weird to call each other boyfriend when they had actually spent a few months acting like husbands. It just felt out of place.
But there was still a need and an internal feeling to name their relationship. Something more beautiful than just a boyfriend one.
They were just waiting for the right moment. A right moment where not only them but others are also happy and that especially includes Yugyeom.
Jungkook waits for Jimin at his house since Mr and Mrs. Park was out of town with his parents too.
Both boys were alone. Instead of going to Jimin's house this time he decides to call the boy and indeed Jimin was delighted at the request which he immediately fulfilled, happily.
They were cuddling in the bed while the taller one was playing with Jimin's fingers, especially his ring finger where the ring was still on.
Yes, they never took off their rings. It was meaningful despite everything. It was close to their heart and the feeling of taking it off just didn't sit right with them.
The rings shine brighter on their fingers as a warm feeling bubbles inside them.
Jimin was just enjoying the adorable sight in front of him. His eyes held all the fondness for this boy right beside him whose eyes are fixated on their rings. He was about to ask but Jungkook beat him into it.
"What are we?" He asks softly, gaze still not meeting Jimin's.
"Huh?"
"I mean, like- I want to name us, Jimin" This time he meets the smaller one's eyes who sits up making Jungkook do the same.
The smaller one shifts even more close to Jungkook and cups his adorable face.
"What do you want to name us?" He presses the word 'You'. His voice is soft and melting like honey.
"Couple" he starts, his fingers circling Jimin's ring. "A real married couple."
"Sure, whatever you want then" Jimin simply replies, despite the wild fireworks in his heart.
"Me?...You don't want that...?" Jimin laughs at the innocent and scared tone of his.
"Of Course I want that. Have been waiting for you to be ready and ask" Jungkook's jaw drop.
"What if I didn't have the courage to ask?"
"I would've waited for you to get the courage then, simple"
"That's not it" The smaller one laughs at the angry pout.
"I was actually gonna talk about this on your birthday but you beat me into it"
"Really?"
"Really" He confirms, nodding.
Few seconds of silence passes between them. Getting the rest of courage he had left in him he properly asks Jimin who is eyeing him and his every moment which is actually making him fidgety.
"So ahmm..Will you marry me-" Jimin lunches forward and kisses him hard on the lips, Jungkook falls on a pillow behind with Jimin almost on top.
"Yes a million times yes!" He loudly answers, eye turning into moon crescent but it soon vanishes when he sees the tears in Jungkook's eyes.
"You can't just cry after proposing!" Jimin whines, brushing his tears away.
"Sorry, I'm just..." Jungkook mumbles, biting his lower lips before it forms a cute pout that Jimin can never resist and goes forward to steal a quick peck.
"Cheer up Mr.Fiancè and kiss me already" Jungkook laughs at the new nickname and sneaks his hand around his neck and pulls him closer to kiss his now Fiancè. The kiss is beautiful, sweet and of so many emotions. Their lips move in sync like a perfect melody. It feels heaven, their stomach erupting in wild butterflies who are fluttering inside. Their hearts beat fast. Jungkook takes his upper plump lip between his and nips on him teasingly yet sweetly and Jimin lets him do whatever he wants. The smaller one's hand goes through his fiancè's soft locks earning a lovely moan. Jungkook leaves his lip and starts kissing him with more favour and passion. Soft-lipped kissing and pouring their hearts out from the happiness they are feeling.
It's the kiss of a promise. A promise of always staying and loving each other. A promise to be each other's happiness.
Who thought that the proposal would go this way? Not them at least. But if they are honest they still loved it.
That night Jungkook made love to Jimin for the first time. Their hands roamed all over each other's body. Hands and eyes couldn't get enough, their hot breaths mingling together. Their rapid heartbeats are the indication of it. The way Jimin was feeling the pleasure given by Jungkook was too good to be true. He felt himself fly in the seventh sky. They were overwhelmed by the emotions, they felt closer than before. They were one. It felt so right. Both males are a moaning mess yet they don't stop from exploring each other's magnificent bodies. Jungkook has made him feel so special and put his all into making him feel loved just like he should be. He kisses him from time to time taking his mind away from the pain but all Jimin felt was pleasure, a euphoric one. Jungkook was gentle with every touch. His kisses soft yet screams how much this boy loves him. Jimin couldn't stop staring at his love, he thanked the heavens for giving him Jungkook. He doesn't deserve him but then Jungkook makes him feel that no Jimin deserves him. Their hearts beat faster, eyes pricked with overwhelming tears. Yet they don't stop, because it's the best feeling ever. Jungkook's lips praising the boy and thanking him continuously for being with him, for coming into his life.
For completing him,
The night was young and wild and to add more, a beautiful one.
The next day Jungkook wakes up to an empty space beside him, making his heart skip a beat as his sleepy yet wide eyes roam inside the room to see where Jimin is.
His heart becomes normal and his eyes turn back to normal when he finally sees his Fiancè. His heart swelling in content by the sight in front of him. Jimin, who is wearing his oversized white shirt that is actually big on him, that he also loves to see Jimin in, is sitting on his working desk , seemingly focused on something that he can't see from where he is seated in bed.
The memories from last night play before his eyes making his cheek a crimson red and his heart feeling prideness. His smile never left his still red lips from last night. They had kissed so many times to even count.
He gently throws his blanket off him and gets up from the bed and walks towards the boy before reaching down and doing the same action Jimin does everytime he is seated on this specific chair. He wraps his arms around his shoulders and takes in a deep breath of his favourite Jimin's cologne.
"Morning, Beautiful" Jimin smiled warmly, melting at the contact. Heart warm at the feeling.
"Morning love." Jimin replies, setting the black marker down and turning his head to place a chaste kiss on the taller's cheek earning a bunny teeth smile. "Did you sleep well?"
"I should be the one asking you" Jimin giggles at that, cheeks red.
"I did, don't worry you were very gentle last night" Despite his red face, Jimin was able to answer without stuttering.
"Huh?...You wanted me to be rough?" Jungkook's wide doe eyes are looking at Jimin giving the look of innocence and the smaller one swear Jungkook will be the death of him. How can he act innocent after last night?. His Jungkook is indeed innocent despite everything and Jimin thinks it's one of the beautiful things he likes about him.
Jimin stands up and faces Jungkook and softly cups his face in his cute hands "I loved every second of last night, it doesn't matter if you were rough or gentle. You were more perfect than I could ever ask for." Jungkook smiles softly, digging his face in Jimin's neck and placing feather kisses here and there, arms circling around Jimin's waist, pulling him flushed against his chest.
"I loved it too," Jungkook said, voice muffled against his once porcelain skin because it's actually covered with a lot of hickeys. He knows for a fact Jimin is not gonna hide it.
They stayed in each other's embrace for what felt like forever, basking in each other's warm and welcoming hug.
"What were you doing?" He asks when his eyes catch his diary on the table. Heart almost drops as his hold tightens on Jimin's waist.
Jimin sensed the tension and immediately carrassed his back gently, relaxing him before he bit his lip before pulling away from the hug and turned around to reach for the said diary.
"Was doing something I should have done a long time ago but only remembered now" he exclaimed, holding the diary in front of Jungkook.
His heart stops at the sight as his eyes once again stings with tears. His chest heaves up and down. Eyes glancing between Jimin and the Diary. Suddenly feeling a clog forming in his throat, heart full.
"Y-You changed it...." Jimin nods, his one hand caressing his now wet cheek.
"Yes, to something just like how it should be"
Jungkook's eyes raked over the new written name in bold letters on a small paper chit that is pasted on the cover of his Diary, hiding his previous one name.
'I Was Always Yours'
His face has morphed into a delightful one before he starts crying loudly, he pulls Jimin in a tight hug. His hold is secure around Jimin as if he will fade away if he lets go. The joy of seeing the wonderful and sweet action of his. The feeling is a blissful evocation of time that came. He has no words to describe what he was feeling. He just hopes Jimin gets it still.
"I love you Jimin. So fuckin much you have no idea...thank you for being mine" Jungkook sniffles.
Jimin had tears in his own eyes. He could understand what Jungkook was feeling so he didn't tell him to don't cry. Because behind those tears there is ever-lasting happiness.
As much as this diary holds the difficult and hurtful memories of Jungkook, it also has the nice and happy ones. He wanted to change the title from the previous one that would only remind Jungkook about the difficult past. So he changes it to something that will make Jungkook smile everytime he sees it.
Jimin hugs the love of his life back with utmost care and affection. As he lets his lips slip the words that lift Jungkook's mood every single time.
"I love you too, Jungkook....I was always Yours, from the very beginning"
And then he kissed him softly and gently.
Promising of a life as beautiful and colorful as rainbows.
Promising to replace the pain that ever comes to his heart with his love.
A promise to cherish His Jungkook all his life and make him the happiest person.
A promise that he makes to himself.
After all,
He is deeply and madly in love with Jungkook.
