Persona

Chapter 6

JIMIN'S POV

I refused to sleep, holding her was so perfect I didn't want to miss a single second. I couldn't imagine the horror of that day, or comprehend losing my father either. She was so very strong to have survived and thrived after all that had happened to her as a child. She amazed me in so many ways.

I grinned as she cuddled closer to me.

"June," I murmured a few hours later. "We have to get up, the others will be home soon."

She raised her sleepy face to mine. "How long?"

"Half hour or so."

Blinking, she attempted to clear the sleep from her eyes, then lowered her head to my chest. "Close your eyes, Jimin."

I didn't question her request, just did as she asked. "Done." Moments later, I felt her soft breath against my cheek, then her velvety lips were pressed to mine. It was all I needed to know, I was a goner, I was in so deep with her already, and this simply confirmed that fact to me. I allowed her to kiss me gasping as she deepened the kiss, making my whole body throb before pulling back slowly and gazing into my dark eyes.

"I've wanted to do that since I met you." She admitted.

"Same," I responded, my breathing hot and heavy. "You better go fix your hair before they get home or they'll all know exactly what we've been doing." I sat up with a groan trying to hide the bulge in my pants. I saw her eyes flick down and a blush stain her round cheeks.

"Sorry," she said, waving her hand nervously.

"Don't be, you made my day, week, month, heck year." I wanted to confess how I was beginning to feel, but understood it was far too soon. "Is it awful that I'm grateful Suga hyung is hurt so you're here?"

"We would have met eventually, probably at Hobi and Cass's wedding. I'll be one of the bridesmaids wearing some horribly ugly dress." She laughed. She reached out and ran her hand through my hair a few times. "There, now you look presentable again. I'll go brush mine, and meet you in the living room. I watched her leave a grin curling my lips. This woman was going to be my girlfriend as soon as I could possibly manage to make that happen.

JUNE'S POV

I'm falling in love with Jimin.  The thought scared me.  I remembered how it had been for Cass after she and Hobi had announced their relationship.  Some of the responses had been ugly and vile.  The ruckus it had caused was the reason Ash refused to go public with Suga.  He wanted to tell the world but she simply was not prepared for the backlash.

Cass and Hobi had weathered the storm.  He had done several interviews telling the world and all of ARMY how much he loved her and how happy she made him.  For her part Cass had been open about the fact that she had adored Hobi since she'd met him and that there had never been anyone who could take his place in her heart.

It had taken almost a year for most of the threats and awful comments to come to a halt.  Now ARMY just seemed happy that their Sunshine had found his own sunshine.  The last time she'd talked to Cass about it, she'd said the comments now were mostly speculation about when they'd become engaged.

I sighed, it was far too soon to be thinking about that just yet.  We were just starting something who knew where it would go, if anywhere at all.

I turned on Netflix and began looking for a movie to watch as Jimin entered.  He was gorgeous, those lips, those eyes, and the rest of him.  How was I supposed to act like nothing had happened between us?  I couldn't take my eyes off of him.
