The words Jungkook softly spoke ring loudly in Jimin's head:

"Please try not to make any promises you can't keep. Please don't break my heart promising me what I want to hear, but leaving me once it's over."

The omega sits up abruptly, because they echo in his heart, making it beat so fast and fluttering that he has to let go of Jungkook's hand to clench the fabric of his shirt over his heart. The younger stares up at him, meeting Jimin's wide open, surprised eyes. He looks like he wants to pull the blanket over his head in mortification.

"Jungkook..."

Jimin's voice is a soft whisper, because the emotions choke him: it pains him to see Jungkook so insecure, because it's his fault: Jimin caused the scars - and he should have opened his mouth earlier tonight, but he was too much of a coward. He clears his throat and bends down, gently prying Jungkook's fingers from the edge of the comforter to interlace them once more.

"Jungkook-ah. I don't want to make any empty promises either. So I won't."

Jungkook sits up as well and looks at Jimin with questions and vulnerability in his lovely, dark doe eyes. Jimin feels the heat rise in his cheeks upon the undivided attention on what he is about to confess - but he can't chicken out now. So he shuffles closer and carefully cups the alpha's cheek as he says ever so softly:

"I'm not telling you what you want to hear. I'm telling you what I want to say: I want to be with you now and forever. I want to be yours - if you'll have me."

"Jimin-ah..." Jungkook's answer is a subdued sigh: "Oh, you have no idea..."

Jimin feels Jungkook's large, warm palms on his skin, making it tingle and jubilate when they tenderly cradle his neck and cheek. Like a puppet on a string, Jimin feels drawn forward and his gaze falls to the alpha's pretty petal lips that come closer and closer. Jimin leans in, tilting his head and closing his eyes - then he feels Jungkook's lips on his. It's divine sublimation.

A wave of pure felicity rushes through the omega's system upon finally, finally, fucking finally kissing Jungkook again - upon finally being close enough to count each single of his beautiful, long, feathery eyelashes and go cross eyed in the attempt to see the adorable mole on his nose up close.

Their lips slot together like they were meant to be: they move against each other languidly with so much gentleness and carefulness that Jimin's heart fills with warmth until it feels ready to burst at the seams. He sighs in bliss and Jungkook hums in response.

"Jimin..." the younger mumbles against Jimin's lips, hardly allowing any space between them: "Be mine. Be my mate for real."

"I am. I'm yours." the omega whispers through sensually parted lips.

He separates their faces so they can look at each other. Jimin's heart aches, because he sees the bottomless worship and abandon the alpha's awed gaze. He hopes the younger recognizes the same in his honey-sweet eyes as he adds:

"And you: be mine and only mine."

"I am... you know it. I'm... a hopeless fool... for you." Jungkook mutters chasing Jimin's plush lips between words.

Jimin shifts closer and winds his arms around the alpha's shoulders, bringing him closer still. He flicks out his tongue to taste the little mole under Jungkook's lips, then he captures his lower lip to suck on it gently. A quiet grumble rises from the alpha's chest, then his tongue also flicks out to get a taste of Jimin's sweet lips. Their scents mingle cloying and euphoric.
