"Why were you sleeping with him?" 

"Who?" He furrowed his brows "Hoseok?" He shook his head "he's one of the dancers, he lost the key to his room, and it was too late for him to sneak over to his girlfriend's room because they locked the doors. I fell asleep waiting for him to get a hold of her, I woke up the next morning and he was still there. I guess she didn't answer his calls" tears had started to form in his eyes as he explained himself "baby, I swear on my life nothing happened. Nothing ever would, even if he were gay, I only want you" 

He reached for me and wrapped his arms tightly around my waist as he buried his face in my chest "I'm so so sorry Tae, if I had known he was going to end up staying the night I would have left him my bed and came to yours" 

"I believe you" I whispered as I hugged him back and let a few tears slip down my face 

"Is that why you ignored me all day yesterday?" He asked as he pulled away from me "that really hurt. I thought something was wrong with you like you were sick.. I didn't even think about the fact that maybe you didn't trust me or thought I was cheating on you" he wiped his face as he began to get angry. I understood why. 

"I'm sorry" I whispered "I kept telling myself nothing had happened..but I saw you two together and I felt my world crumble at my feet" 

"I understand" he nodded and wiped his face "I think we need to talk later. Right now we're all late..let's, let's just go" he shook his head as the three of us walked towards our classes, Jimin and I heading into photography while Jungkook headed to his bio class. 

"Mr Park, please present your project" 

I stared ahead at him as he held his picture board up. It was beautiful. Pictures of dancers, the theater room empty with a pair of his dancing shoes placed in the middle of the stage, a picture of himself doing a flip in mid air, and a picture of the ballet. 

"Dancing is my peace. I put all of my focus and passion into my dancing.. it brings peace to my life. Especially when I was at my lowest point. Dancing was there for me when no one else was" he sighed as his eyes watered "with out dancing in my life, there would be no peace in my life either, so this is what peace means to me" 

"Beautiful pictures, beautiful technique, beautiful board work, and a beautiful explanation. Thank you Mr Park"  

Jimin took his seat and kept his head down as more students were called on. 

"Mr Kim?" My professor asked with a wide smile, I stood up and walked to the front. I held up my picture board, a few people awed and whispered as they stared at my pictures. 

A black and white photo of Jimin from behind as he was swinging on the old swing set from the park by my house. The day we told each other we loved each other for the first time. 

A black and white photo of him and mom cooking in their matching aprons in her kitchen, I saturated the pink color of their aprons, and kept the colors in the flowers that were in the background making the picture come to life. 

A picture of Jimin holding a leaf over his eye while he winked with the other wearing a wide smile. I left the color of the leaf bright orange and used grey scale on the rest. 

And finally, a black and white selfie of us. He had fallen asleep on my chest with his head tucked under my chin and his pouty plump lips were poking out as he looked angelic, I had a wide smile on my face as I stared into the camera. 

"My love, brings me peace. The love I receive from my mother, the love she gives to the people around her. The love I get from my boyfriend, the way he makes me feel when he tells me he loves me. How his cheeks still turn pink every time I say it back. My close circle brings me peace..without them there would be no peace for me" my voice started to crack as my eyes watered "I can lay my head down at night no matter what kind of day I had, and feel at peace as I think about how blessed I am to have so much love in my life. That feeling I get before I close my eyes..that's what peace means to me" 

"Wow..that was beautiful Mr Kim" my professor spoke as I made my way back to my seat. Everyone clapped for me, some of them even stood up and clapped as I sat there staring at my hands and fidgeting with my fingers. I looked over at Jimin and he was already staring at me with tears in his eyes. 

'I love you' he mouthed to me as he wiped his face, I smiled and mouthed it back to him wiping the tears from my own face. 

When we stood up to exit class Jimin ran to me and wrapped me in his arms as we both cried. 

"I'm so sorry about yesterday" 

"I'm so sorry that I didn't tell you Hoseok ended up crashing with me, and that I thought you didn't trust me" 

"I'm sorry that I made you feel like I don't trust you, because I do. I really do" 

We kissed, and then my professor cleared his throat "I hate to break up this super adorable moment between you two, but my next class will be here any second" he smiled wide  

We walked the halls hand in hand until we had to go our separate ways. We parted with a kiss and went about our day as usual. 

I stayed up late that night waiting for Jimin, when he came in he looked exhausted, I smiled up at him as he crawled into the bed next to me, I rolled over and wrapped my arms around him tightly, giving him a kiss to his temple "I love you baby" 

"I love you too. More than you'll ever comprehend" he whispered as he fell asleep. I felt complete as I held him so close. 




I woke up in the morning to talking, I pretended to still be asleep because I didn't want to interrupt them. 

"So you guys are good then?"

"Yeah..we're okay" 

"Good. If you broke my best friend I'd have to break you" Jungkook chuckled 

"I love him too much to ever do anything stupid, ever" 

"I know, I believe you. Tae does too, he just got scared" 

"I would too if I saw him in bed with anyone else, well, except you" Jimin laughed 

"Good because he slept in my bed the night before" 

"Good, I'm glad you were there for him when I couldn't be" 

"I'll always be there for him no matter what. He's my best friend and more like a brother. I love him with my whole heart" 

"I'm happy he has someone like you in his life Jungkook, I wish I had someone like that" 

"Hey, you have me too. And we're both lucky that we have someone like him"

"Facts. Him and his mom" they both chuckled 

"I'll tell coach he isn't coming today. You two just enjoy your day, and I'll see you when you're on stage" 

"Oh, you're coming?"

"Yup! I told Tae I'd go with him to watch you dance" 

"Thanks kook"

"Don't mention it" 

He closed the door and Jimin curled back up with me in the bed, running his fingers through my hair as he hummed and kissed my forehead "I love you Taehyung, I know I don't have much to offer, but I swear I'll do whatever I can for you to keep you happy and let you know how much I love you" he whispered before kissing me again and laying down. I smiled as he fell back asleep, I rolled over and laid my head on his chest letting sleep take me back. 

When we both finally woke up, we cuddled in bed talking about everything that happened in the three weeks we had hardly seen each other and how our classes were going as we complained about college and how hectic it was. 

We ate breakfast and then he had to rush over to the gym for one more practice before the recital. 

I pulled out my phone and texted mom 

Me: I need a favor
Momma♡: anything 
Me: can you go to the jewellery shop with me if I hurry up and head home?
Momma♡: meet you there! 
Me: bring my card for my settlement account please? 
Momma♡: absolutely ❤
