Promise

Would you be happier?

You were playing with your phone as you rolled on the bed. Why wasn't he home yet? It was already eight o'clock.. Momo and Gyeoul didn't come today. You thought you would be seeing them today but no, only you. "Should I call him?" Maybe he forgot that you will be here today? Or did he have urgent matters to attend? 

You got up wearing your comfy sweater. You thought of seducing him with some sexy lingerie but you guess it can't be today. Walking down the stairs, you sighed, "Miss, do you want to have your dinner first. I think Mr Park will come back late today.." The maid knows you usually wait for Jimin to have dinner together.

"It's okay.. make me some coffee, please.." Chaeyoung was sick, Jimin came back late. Could he .. possibly avoiding you? It can't be. You were waiting for him a bit downstairs, watching the TV. Or the TV watching you. The maid woke you up, telling you to sleep in the room. Jimin came back around eleven o'clock.

"Mr Park, Miss Y/n is waiting for you. She hasn't eaten yet. Should we make something for the two of you." The maid welcomed him."It's okay, I'll ask if she wants to order delivery." You and your junk food addiction. He glanced at the watch on his wrist. There were no sounds coming out from the bedroom.His eyes softened to see your sleeping figure. You were drooling. Unlike a lady at all. He could see your attempt to wear nice lingerie for him under the sweater.

"What should I do to you..?" His heart ached so much. He could not breathe every time he remembered you said you were considering leaving him. How could you think of that? 

You were not happy and he can't let go of his daughter. It was a hard battle between you and him. Who will agree to compromise? Jimin sat on the edge of the bed, caressing your head, "I'm a bad fiancé. I should've known your true feelings.. How could I keep forcing you to accept my daughter..."Feeling his hand on you, warm smile bloomed on your face, "Welcome home, honey..."

"Go back to sleep.." He pulled the blanket higher to cover your legs. You moved to rest your head on his lap, "I should go bath. I'll be back in a minute.."

"Ngg.." You whined, keeping him in his place, "Okay.." You finally let go of him.

The coffee was cold on the table, you had not drunk them yet. Sounds of the water running in the bathroom, your mind was now alive enough to realize Jimin saw your butt! He saw your lingerie!! Argh. Why didn't he say anything? You pulled your sweater down.. Not that he hasn't seen any of those. But still..

"What are you thinking just now?" He chuckles, you were blushing.

"Nothing.." Pulling the blanket even higher. 

"Have a seat with me a bit, love.." Jimin joined you under the blanket, you scooted closer to him, he smelled very nice, his skin was still cold from the bath he had earlier.

"What is it?" You looked up to him.

"I met Taehyung just now..." The last person he had in his mind when he needed some help, "He doesn't have many friends, does he?" He can't say he had a good impression of him, everything about the guy was chilling to the bones.

"My brother? Why?"

"We talked about some things.." Some things like why the hell he sent those pictures to the media. Pictures of him and Gyeoul. When it was clearly harming his own sister. He was not surprised to hear his answer, too. "I like Jeon Jungkook better than you. He is my best friend even though I don't mind having you as my brother in law as well." His gut was right. 

Jeon Jungkook had feelings for you. The two of you were secretly seeing each other without Taehyung knowing when you were in high school. Taehyung was spilling everything to him. Also the fact that the relationship did not work out because of him. "You could do things for me or our company, you are able to. But the one you hurt is my sister. No one will grieve more than her."

He appreciates honesty but man wise, oh how much Jimin dislikes men like him.

"Will you be happier if we end the engagement?"

"Mother told you.." You said faintly.

"Yes..." He measured his palm with yours. How fit they were on each other, he traced the ring he gave you."Are you mad?" You asked him carefully.

"Do I have a right to be mad if I can't make you happy?"

"Chim, don't say that." You cupped his face, "You make me the happiest like no one else can do."

"Am I?" His smile was bitter.

"You do.. You really do.. It's just... not easy for me.. it's harder than I thought.."

"If it makes you feel better.. I won't hold you back.." Jimin was dying to be with you. You were the one. He was sure of it, "As long as you are happy.." He will bear the pain of losing his heart. You.

"It won't make me feel better... It will break my heart, it will hurt me as much as it hurt you.." "I love you.." "But I don't know if I am able to be okay with so many people in this relationship.." "You love your daughter, you have to raise her, she is yours.. I don't want to be in the way of that.." You will be drying your tears, wishing you never knew him so that you did not need to feel all of these. 

He hugged you tightly, kissing your head repeatedly. I can't lose you too, I can't.. Please. 

There were no words coming out from his lips. However his grips on you were stiff and tight. He was pushing back the feelings inside his heart so they didn't come out too obvious on his face. He was hurt."Chim.." You kissed him. He didn't kiss you back. You kissed him again, "No?" You stared at him. Confused. You kissed his mouth again. 

"What are you going to do to me...?" His voice was hoarse. 

Jimin lifted you up on his lap, kissing you back. It was gentle and warm. Just like himself. You were pressed under him, your arm locked around his neck. Legs were tangling to each other. Wishing he could stay as close as possible. You tasted salty tear between the kisses. Realizing, he was crying, you opened your eyes, separating yourself from him, he did not let you see him in most heartbreak moments. 

He smile bitterly, closing your eyes with his palm, "Don't.." He did not want you to pity him. "Give me a minute." He said. Calming himself. He should be smiling so that you could leave him in peace. So that you didn't worry of him throwing his life to the streets because his will to live just thrown outside the window. He mistaken your loving kiss as a goodbye kiss.

"Oh, Chim.." You embraced all of him. The two of you were sharing a kiss with different idea in mind. He didn't let you finish, you laces your fingers with him.
