Make It Right [JIKOOK]

Wait For It

Jungkook's POV

I want to tell them. I want to tell everyone. The thoughts kept cycling through my mind on repeat as I sat through the vlive. I could barely keep my eyes off Jimin through the camera lens. Do it!

"Everyone...There is one important thing," I looked to Jimin. His cheeks curved his eyes into my favorite eye smile.

"It's so obvious," Namjoon smiled fondly at me.

"Jungkook-ssi?" Jimin's voice sounded hopeful, but hesitant.

"What is it?"

"I will let you say it," Namjoon said as I turned to him.

"Everyone," I repeated. Okay, don't chicken out now, Kook! I looked to each of the members who met my gaze with mild surprise, but encouragement.

"Are you..." Jin started.

"Just say it," Namjoon urged.

"No, wait for it," I grinned widely while I internally screamed at myself. I felt like a coward.

"Come on!"

"Just say it," Namjoon patted my back while Jimin pointed a finger at me.

"Nevermind," I said quietly, still smiling, but shaking.

After the vlive, Jimin squeezed my waist. "I thought you were about to tell ARMY's about us."

I ran my fingers through his hair, bending down to kiss his forehead. "I was."

"What stopped you?" His voice sounded strained and I wondered if he was upset that I almost told them or that I was too afraid to tell them.

"I don't know. I guess I just chickened out."

He peeked up at me from my chest. "Namjoon was actually going to let you tell ARMY's. Can you believe that?"

My face fell. "No, I can't. That will probably never happen again. I totally wasted my one chance. I'm sorry, Jimin."

Jimin gripped the back of my neck and pulled me into a soft kiss. "Don't be. I'm actually impressed that you were bold enough to go as far as you did with it. It meant a lot that you wanted to say it."

I gulped back my tears. "I'll be brave enough to say it for real one day."

He chuckled and buried his face back into my chest. "We keep saying that, but I don't know if it will ever be true or if we ever can tell anyone outside of those closest to us. We might have to take this to our graves, Jungkookie."

Hot tears dripped onto my cheeks. "Don't say that."

Jimin lifted his face to mine again, brushing my tears away with his thumbs. "I'm just trying to prepare myself for the worst, but hope for the best. I'm still okay even if no one ever knows because in the end, I have you either way, right?"

"Always," I kissed his cheeks, his chin, his nose, before pressing my lips to his.

"Good, then I'll always be okay." Jimin nestled his face into my shoulder and sighed contentedly.
