He takes my hand in his and says, "Let's go." I say, "Uhh, okay?" He pulls me into the cafe and we go to a corner. When we're closer to there, Namjoon leans in my ear and says, "Pretend we've been together for a while now, okay?" I say, "Wait, what? What do you mean?" He smiles at me and says, "Guys. Look what I brought." I turn to the people he was talking to. And freeze in shock.

I'm standing in front of BTS. And they're all looking at me. Namjoon whispers in my ear, "Go away, act." I smile and nod

.

Namjoon says, "Move over. Make room for us." Namjoon casually shows the others that we're holding hands and when he sits down, I sit very, very close to him. He puts his arm around my shoulder. Yoongi looks at both of us and then everyone starts singing me a birthday song.Namjoon says, "Honey, did you really think we didn't know it was your birthday??" Jin asks, "Wait, what?? What do you mean, honey?" Namjoon says, "That's exactly what I meant. Min Jee and I have been together for a few months now." Yoongi looks at me a little sadly. Then I nudge Namjoon's leg and imperceptibly point at Yoongi. Namjoon sighs and after a moment says: "Well ugh, fine. Min Jee, you're ruining all the fun. Guys, we're not together."


I sigh in relief and say: "Finally. Thank you. I don't know why he made me say that. He wanted to see your reactions I guess." Namjoon says: "Kim Min Jee, you're ruining all the fun for real. But we brought you here on purpose, we knew it was your birthday and we missed you. That's why I knew where and when you'd be."


I look at Yoongi and he smiles weakly. We kind of spend the whole evening talking about what's happened over the years. I suddenly notice that Yoongi is wearing the blue stone ring I gave him for his birthday. Yoongi notices me looking at it and then smiles wider.

A few days later

Since I'm no longer a trainee, I have a lot of free time. So lately I've been spending a lot of time with BTS again, either at their company building or at their house.

After Yoongi shoulder surgery

Since Yoongi injured his shoulder during his trainee days and never dealt with it and ignored it, it eventually got really bad so he had to have surgery for it. Which is what happened now. When he finally gets home today, BTS asked me to take care of Yoongi for a while because they'll be training, but Yoongi needs to rest and recover from surgery. And he'll have to stay home for about four months because he won't be allowed to train again anytime soon.

About a month later 

Yoongi is already feeling better, but he can't go back to the group schedule for another three months. He can lift things now, but he can't exercise or work and put too much strain on his shoulder. Yoongi and I watch movies, which we've been doing quite a bit lately. While the movie is playing, I look at Yoongi. He hasn't aged or changed at all. He notices me watching, and he looks back and smiles. I get up and sit next to him. Then I hug him and say, "I missed you so much, oppa."


He smiles and says, "That's good. Things haven't changed then." I say, "They have. You and I have both changed." He looks at me and says, "I haven't changed. I'm the same as I was." I say, "Oppa. It's been six years. I doubt you're the same." Yoongi smiles and says, "If you say so."We continue watching the movie, but I feel him take my hand in his. I look at him. He stands up and sits very close to me. I look at him and he turns me around. He takes my hand and puts it to his heart. Then he says, "Everything is still the same here." He strokes my face and then slowly leans in and kisses me softly.


I smile and when I pull away, Yoongi says, "I remember our first kiss. When you kissed me for good luck before my debut. Will you do it again?" I ask, "For good luck?" He nods. Then I say, "No. I'm not kissing you for good luck. I will do it anyway." He smiles and then a gentle kiss follows, which soon turns into a passionate and fiery one.


Then Yoongi smiles and says, "I remember when we...were interrupted by that stupid phone call. I was really angry and disappointed. Like when you walked into the cafe with Namjoon a month ago, holding his hand." I say, "Hey. It was his idea." He says, "I don't care. Only I can hold your hand and touch you."


I smile and say, "Sure, baby. Whatever you say." He laughs and then I get up and go to another room. But as I get up, I feel Yoongi slap me on the butt. I turn to him and say, "Yah. Min Yoongi. Who gave you permission to do that?" Yoongi says, "I'm Min Yoongi. I'm not asking permission. I don't care."
