Mine From The Start And Till The End

from the start

It was the summer of 1998, the summer that brought a fluff of happiness by the name of Jimin into the life of a respected and royal family of the Jeons.

Jimin was only a year old when he was introduced to his new family. He considered them to be his only family because he never felt otherwise. They always treated him as if he was their own child with love and adoration alongside his brother. He knew his former parents had died in an accident, and the king took him in because his biological father and the emperor were the best of friends.

Aside from his parents, he'd also been loved by another soul. A soul who treated him, or maybe spoiled him, like no one else: Jimin's knight in shining armor, Jungkook.

Jungkook was only three years old when he was introduced to his baby brother. At first, he was against the idea of having a brother whom his parents would love equally, if not more. After all, he was Jeon Jungkook. He wanted all the love and attention for himself. But after seeing him for the first time, his cute pink, rounded, leathery smooth cheeks looking soft like a mochi, his small pretty fingers, his cute rounded eyes, his pouty pinky lips, he was convinced he had never seen a cuter being. He vowed to protect this cute bean from every harm that came his way. He was ecstatic to have this ball of cuteness for himself and to be the hyung of this baby mochi.

Every day he fell in love more and more with his cute maknae's behavior: the way he curiously looked everywhere with his doe eyes, the way he pouted in confusion, his eye smile that could light up the whole world after only receiving a lollipop, the way he called him Koo hyung, the way he was so shy and stayed behind Omma when someone new visited.

It took Jimin a week to get comfortable around Jungkook, but afterwards, they became the closest buddies, staying together, eating together, playing together, and literally doing everything together.

Jimin: 4 years old, Jungkook: 7 years old.

"Koo hyung, why did he eat mango and not stawbelly? Mangos are not tasty."

Jimin was running and annoying Jungkook, who was trying to do his homework.

"Who ate mangos?" Jungkook turned his chair around to look at Jimin.

"Mr. Kim said there were four mangos, and he ate two. How many are left?"

"And what did you answer?"

"Twooooo," Jimin cheered.

"Good job," Jungkook gave a kiss on Jimin's cheeks as a reward, making Jimin giggle. They then started playing tag.

"Koo hyung, appa said TaeTae will come tomorrow to play with us," Jimin said excitedly.

Jimin was homeschooled, and Mr. Kim was his tutor. His son and Jimin were best friends because they were of the same age
