Chapter 7

Before Jimin even opened his eyes, his face was already scrunched in discomfort from the stick feeling around his ass and between his thighs. It only took a few seconds after waking to recall how he and Yoongi had fallen asleep before properly cleaning themselves. Then the thought of Yoongi made his features relax again...until he opened his eyes to an empty bed. He sat up, looking around the room for any sign of the older male, or at least a note from him explaining why he wasn't there. Finding nothing, a burst of pain spread through Jimin's chest at the thought that after all of that, Yoongi had turned out just like all of the others.

Tears threatened to spill, but Jimin forced them back as he climbed out of the bed and headed to Yoongi's en suite to rid himself of the remnants of the previous night's activities. Once he was thoroughly cleaned and no longer sticky, he began to dress himself as quickly as possible with every intention of leaving Yoongi's apartment and never seeing the older male again.

He had just slipped his underwear on when he heard some dull thuds coming from outside the bedroom. With a bubbling in his stomach, Jimin slowly exited the bedroom, relief flooding through his body when he saw Yoongi standing in the kitchen, a plate stacked high with pancakes in his hand and a spatula in the other, his eyes resembling those of a deer caught in headlights.

"Oh, shit~" Yoongi muttered after a few seconds. "I didn't wake you, did I?" He asked as Jimin looked around the kitchen in amazement, seeing flour on the counters, bowls of fresh fruit, and a freshly made pot of coffee. "I was wanting to surprise you with breakfast in bed?"

Jimin's gaze snapped back to Yoongi. "What?" He asked quietly.

"Yeah, I figured last night was draining for you, both emotionally and physically," Jimin couldn't help but let out a small giggle at the smirk on Yoongi's face at that, "so I wanted to let you sleep as long as possible, and I wanted to make sure you had plenty to eat before I leave for the station. Do you like pancakes? I hope you do, because-" Yoongi's rambling was cut off by Jimin suddenly rushing into his arms, hugging him tightly.

Jimin nuzzled into the crook of Yoongi's neck, feeling the older male set down the objects in his hand before wrapping his arms around him. "I thought you'd left me."

"Of course not~" Yoongi whispered against Jimin's hair, rubbing his hand along the younger male's back. "I'll never leave you."

They stayed wrapped around each other until Jimin was satisfied, pulling away to smile up at Yoongi. "And to answer your question, yes, I do love pancakes." He giggled at the end of his statement, the sound making Yoongi's face brighten with a smile.

"Good, because I made a shit ton that need to be eaten." He pressed a quick kiss to the tip of Jimin's nose before letting go of him fully. "So, let's get started."

The two sat at the kitchen counter, eating in silence until half of the food was gone. "So, Kihyun's wedding is in two weeks, and he told me he would keep a guest spot open in case I decided to bring a plus one..." Jimin's body tensed slightly. "Don't feel pressured to say yes, don't force yourself to do anything you aren't comfortable with, that is the last thing I want. But I would love for you to come with me."

Jimin felt his heart racing slightly and that familiar need to run away. Inviting someone to a wedding was always a sign of serious commitment, as that person was implying that they wanted you to meet everyone that you may have not met yet, and weddings often opened up thoughts and discussions about possible future plans. But as Jimin looked at Yoongi, he could see that the older male was serious about not rushing him into anything he wasn't comfortable with. He could see that Yoongi just wanted to create a moment to spend more time with him, and he knew that if he did say no, Yoongi would just find another activity for them to do together.

And with that knowledge, a smile spread across Jimin's face. "I would love to~"

Kihyun and Shownu were making their rounds at their reception, greeting everyone and sharing small talk. While Shownu got locked in a conversation with one of Kihyun's older aunts, Kihyun managed to slip away to the table Yoongi and Jimin were currently sitting at. "Hope the ceremony wasn't too boring for you." He said as he slid into an empty chair next to Yoongi. "It's Jimin, right?"

Jimin nodded with a smile. "Yeah, it's nice to see you again, Kihyun. And congratulations~" Kihyun thanked him as he turned to Yoongi. "I'm gonna go get another drink." He informed his date before heading to the open bar he had been taking advantage of.

"So..." Kihyun said once the younger male was gone. "Boyfriend? Friend? Back to fuckbuddies? What is going on between you two?"

Yoongi chuckled a bit before answering. "We're just...seeing where things go. We are both on the same page though, we have very strong feelings for each other, we don't want to see other people, and we're definitely in this for the long run. But we don't need labels to define what we know and feel."

Kihyun nodded in understanding. "As long as you're both happy, and as long as he's treating you right." He stood up from the table after patting Yoongi on the shoulder. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go save my husband."

Jimin returned soon after that with two drinks in hand, setting one in front of Yoongi. "So, this has actually ended up being a really fun night."

"That's because you're drunk." Yoongi teased, flicking Jimin's nose playfully.

Jimin gasped in mock offense. "I'm not drunk! I'm just a little tipsy." He giggled as he leaned in for a quick kiss, immediately picking his drink up for a sip.

A few minutes later, the DJ announced the first dance between the married couple, opening the floor up to the guests halfway through the song. "Come on~" Jimin suddenly said, standing up and grabbing Yoongi's hand.

"What?" Yoongi asked but allowed the younger to drag him out of his chair and towards the dancefloor.

"We are going to dance." Jimin said, wrapping his arms around Yoongi and beginning to sway slightly.

Yoongi wrapped his arms around Jimin, pulling him close so their foreheads rested against each other. They didn't speak during their dance, just breathed in the moment of being together and enjoying every second of it.
