It's been six months to date since Yoongi proposed to Layla. They have set their wedding day for New Year's Eve. They will say their vows close to midnight, and when the priest says, “You may kiss the bride...” the clock will strike 12, ringing in the New Year as husband and wife.
Your brother is a hopeless romantic. You thought to yourself since he was the one who pitched the idea to Layla before telling everyone. The family can't wait to celebrate their wedding, which is exactly four weeks away.
Yet again, you were happy for your brother Yoongi and Layla that things seemed to be picking up pace with their wedding. As for you and Jimin, sadly, he hasn't even cracked the surface about him proposing to you.
You got tired of asking. It doesn't seem like Jimin will ever ask you to be his wife. Two months ago, both of you argued about it. You end up moving back home to Min's residence from his place. At one point, you wanted to leave Jewel. Yoongi, your mom, his parents, Layla, and her sisters talked you out of it.
So you remained at Jewel, still working with Jimin. It has been hard for you, especially at work. He makes as nothing has happened. Like your feelings about the situation are invalid. Often you scream in silence because everyone sides with Jimin.
However, you always fall in his arms from time to time. For the simple fact that you love him with everything in you and you want things to work out between the both of you. Yet, in the same breath, it hurts like hell.
As for Kim Seokjin and Han Chaekyung. They were extradited to the US. The case against them took four months to complete. When the verdicts were handed out, the juror said, “Guilty on the count of murder and accomplice to murder.” That was all you needed to hear for justice to be served.
You got taken out of your thoughts by Jimin jumping on your bed as he hugged you and kissed your lips. “You ready to go back home, baby?” You nodded your head in agreement. After getting off the bed, he grabbed your suitcase, and both of you headed downstairs. Yoongi asked Jimin if he could see him privately. Jimin kisses your forehead before leaving with Yoongi. You went over to your mom and Layla.
”Princess, are you ready to go back home with Jimin?” Your mother asked, “Yeah...I guess...” You said softly as you hung your head low. She grabbed your hand, “I know you love Jimin, and he loves you just as much. Give him a chance...ok?” She smiled.
Layla grabbed onto your other hand as you sat quietly between the both of them. “Baby sis, it will be alright. In all of this, you know Jimin's heart. Give him time to propose, and everything will be fine.” You retorted, “I'll try my best... It's not as easy as it sounds, or how you all make it out to be.” Tears were released as the lump in your throat built up.
In the meantime, Yoongi and Jimin were by the poolside having a conversation of their own. “Well, the date is set at the mountain lodge for the week of Christmas.” Yoongi smiled at Jimin as he sat across the table from him. “Thanks for your help, hyung. I hope this surprise doesn't backfire on me. I mean, our relationship is suffering because of it.” The distress on his face, shown in its glory.
Yoongi stared at Jimin, “Bro, it will work out just fine. You know she loves you. You are her one and only. You have two weeks to rekindle things between the both of you. Use this time wisely.” Jimin retorted, “I will spend some quality time with her. I have some things planned for us these two weeks.” Yoongi replied, “That's good, bro.” Yoongi and Jimin ended their conversation and went back to the women in the mansion.
Meanwhile, the talk your mom and Layla had with you was still going on. “I know you think we are siding with Jimin, but we aren't Princess. However, we do want to see you succeed as a couple. The love the both of you have is a beautiful thing.” Your mom pats your back softly. “If Jimin said to wait patiently, he must have something planned. Reflect on it and think it through. Jimin has been through hell and back with you. Don't throw it all away...”
As Layla was about to finish up her sentence, Yoongi and Jimin came walking in, talking about the two new couples. Eomma overhead and spoke, “So Lia and Lacy have relationships now?” Jimin replied, “Yes, eomma, Taehyung is dating Lia, and Jungkook is with Lacy.” Yoongi added, “Love is in the air, eomma.” Mother Min laughed, “That's wonderful. Everyone is taken and happy.”
Jimin saw that your eyes were puffy. He realized it was going to be a long ride home. You considered what eomma and Layla said, but you still felt a sense of emptiness and heartache. You looked at Jimin as he smiled at you. “You ready to go, baby?”
You nodded in agreement as you got off the sofa. Layla and your mom both hugged you. Yoongi went over to you and hugged you as well, “Go easy on Jimin. He truly loves and adores you. I know you love him too.” He whispered in your ear.
Jimin went over to you with your suitcase. He reached out his hand to you as you took it and intertwined your fingers with his. Everyone went to see you and Jimin off. As your eomma waved at you, she said out loud to Yoongi and Layla. “I hope they can settle things before Jimin ask for her hand in marriage.” They all made their way back into the mansion as Jimin drove off.
Jimin was happy you agreed to go back home with him. He missed having you with him. Two months away from you took a toll on his psyche. He knew you were finally with him. Yet the unknown of how things will play out..~ vastly laden on his mind. The drive back to his residence was long, and the silence was deafening. What seemed like forever ended when he pulled up in his driveway.
He exited out of his vehicle first and went over to your side to assist you. He opened the door as you vacated his car. “Thank you, Jimin.” You said in a soft tone as your eyes met his. He captured you in his embrace. “I've missed you so much. Welcome back home, baby.” You patted his back as you replied, “I miss you too, Jimin. I miss you so much.” You hugged him tightly as you buried your head in his chest, inhaling his scent.
Jimin's squeezed you tighter as his deep voice lightly brushed against your ear. “Let's take it one day at a time. I know it's been a challenging time for our relationship, but honestly, I would die if I lost you. I love you so much, baby.” He broke down, his body trembling in your arms. Your grip tightened around him as you, too, cried in his embosom as your countenance rested on his toned pectorals.
While you clasp on him remained snug. He released his hold on you as he gently cupped your face. Tears still streaming down both your faces as he carefully wiped yours with his thumbs. His intense gaze locked on your crystal-like orbs. “I know you heard this a million times in the past six months. I'll say it one last time to remind you it will happen soon... I will make you my wife..~ sooner than you think.” Just then, the first snowfall hit— as snowflakes softly drop upon both of you.
You and Jimin knew what first snowfall meant. A confession of one's love for another, a love that will last a lifetime. Both of you say in unison, “I love you!!!” Shortly thereafter, he enraptured you in a passionate kiss.
