He kissed me



Jimin kissed me



I breathe heavily and my feet turned weak causing me to fall on the floor, his hand was still attached to my arm, I heard him laugh "I don't care if you don't love me anymore because I do." He crouches down to level his face with mine, he cupped my cheek "I'm still so in love with you"



"But..." I stop him with my words, this isn't good. Stupid heart shut the hell up "you're fooling around with women. If you really love me then I want an explanation" I proclaimed causing him to laugh "yes, I have been fooling around with women after you left. That's my explanation"



"Then, if you love me you'll stop!" I demand in a very desperate tone and I blushed when realizing that. He bites his plump lip and stole a kiss from me again! "Hey!"



"You will never have it the exact same way again, Dahyun. But you know well enough you rule me completely" he cups my cheek and meets my gaze "I don't need the fun and games now that you're here. I don't see you as a toy, because you're my dream that I want to have"



"But I hurt you"



"For as long as we're together you'll be the only one to break my heart" he said. Fingers slowly trailing to twirl a strand of my hair in his finger, he gazed at my face intently "but I can't help but throw away that fear of you hurting me because I'm attracted to everything about you"



"Your adorable blush when you're being childish. Your useless attempt to hate that kiss!" I gasp and slap his chest causing me to laugh "it's because you stole it!"



"Then you can steal mine too, for revenge" he pursed his lips and I pushed him away with an awkward smile on my lips "no thanks, pervert!"



"Dahyun-"



"You turned away from me that night and went along a bitch with red nails!" I snarled, remembering the tears I shed that night because of him. I won't say ok to that petty sorry of his because it's not ok! I want him to work for it not just with words!



"You jealous? I'm sorry" he said



"Nope. Not like that. It shouldn't be"



He lifted my chin to meet my gaze but I kept staring at my feet



"Come on, tell me you're jealous, Dahyun. Say it that you want me for yourself. That I should only look at you. I'm yours. Come on!" He firmly declared



"That shouldn't-"



"Shh. Just tell me you want to own me. Just tell me" he played with my fingers. There's this electricity that traveled in my back. I hit the cart and it moved away a bit.



"Love shouldn't be possessive-"



"Stop changing the topic. I just want to hear it from you"



"I-SAY YOU'RE SORRY FIRST!" I exaggerated causing him to burst in a fit of laughter before embracing me softly, I felt a light kiss on top of my head "I'm sorry. I'll be a better man to have your forgiveness. I will show you how sincere I am"



"I'm not asking for your forgiveness, I'll work for it" I hugged him back and closed my eyes, almost wishing this would just be the last page of our story to mark it's end. But still, we have a long way to go through than this



But I hope till then, we can stay together




"You're mine only" I said and sunk unto his shoulder out of embarrassment. He giggled before gripping to my body tighter and I cough out "asshole! You're squishing me!" I feel like a sandwich inside his arms right now



But I don't mind



He rests his forehead against mine and takes a deep breath "this time. I won't let you leave, even if it meant locking you up in a bird cage to keep you in the palm of my hands" he chuckles so lovingly causing my heart to melt



"You're wrong. There will be a next time" he then held me in his arms, his touch was gentle yet pleading "no one's going to hurt you anymore. You don't need to choose between me and your family"



I hesitate a little to hug him back but I still did. I gave myself away to my feelings all over again, he's right. I'm free now, I don't have to choose between anyone anymore. I can do whatever I want now "I can finally love you properly this time" he whispers to me

next day Jimin dragged me to his morning agendas and I groan. Walking right beside him in an unfamiliar street "where the hell are we Jimin? I haven't stepped in here before" he placed his hand on top of my mouth for silence "shush. This is the city of dreams, Seoul General City"



Is that even a real place or is he just messing with me? "Hey Jimin-" I squeak when he pulls me behind a bush pushing me down with him, I gasp in disbelief "what the hell?" he told me to stay quiet and point to something, or should I say someone



I saw Tzuyu walk down a building with someone I didn't expect, Jungkook. I gasp as me and Jimin exchange a few glances from each other, I look back to see them disappear from my sight "s-she's with Jungkook? and wait, since when did she come back?!"



"A few days before I did. Taehyung's back too" we both stand up as he wipes the dirt on my pants before grinning. I purse my lips as my mind got stirred up "then..they're not together anymore. Why is she with Jungkook?"



He sighed, pulling me out of the bush and talks "listen. Isabella, the girl who tried ripping us apart became Taehyung's fiancé after their parents found our about their affair. It seems that she was pushed to a corner where she had to leave Korea" I widen my eyes from what I heard



"She had to leave Korea and Jungkook seemed to tag along. She's with her real family now" my eyes fell back on the spot I saw Tzuyu and Jungkook walk on. So she's no different me I guess. But I feel sorry.



If I managed to open up my feelings to several people and still feel empty then what about her? She might have kept all of it by herself "I know what you're thinking. She didn't tell me these but I just figured them out myself and talked to her just before she left"



"Come on. Don't be sad" he cups both my cheeks, squishing them together "it's all in the past now" I put a hand on his wrist and respond "what about Taehyung?"



"He still loves her. That's why he came back. He found out about what really happened" I shut my mouth and tried to process the situation. By now, I'm sure he's aware of Jungkook and Tzuyu's uncommitted relationship



"Yes, he's hurting a lot. But let's leave it to them, okay? they're both adults now and it's none of our business" I scoff a chortle from his words and slap his chest "none of our business and yet here we are. Stalking them!"



"We're just watching not butting in" he defends and grabs both my wrist as we burst in laughter. I feel my heart getting lighter every second I stare into his blissful smile. It's like I'm floating with nothing painful in my past, this moment. I want to hold it forever inside the depths of my thoughts



"Come on, baby" I barely heard the endearment as he pulled me to wherever he pleased to go and I let him staring at our hands entangled against each other just to feel my heart flutter in the sky
