Jimin quickly wipes down his bed, making sure it's tidy enough to look clean.

Namjoon was currently talking to Sooyoung, being nervous since Sooyoung knows about their liking towards each other. Jimin sighs in relief, his room looking clean as possible as it can be, naturally looking messy for the posters on his wall and schoolwork on his desk. Even though Namjoon stayed before...but that was because Tae was bothering him.

"Thank you, really." Namjoon softly says.

"No problem. Jeongguk usually came over when he had to stay home from school." Sooyoung says. "So, I'm sure my parents will be okay with you staying. For sure."

Namjoon smiles small, bowing. Right when Jimin was about to go downstairs, he stopped once he passed the mirror. His smile disappeared, slowly walking back to face the mirror and see his reflection. His brows slowly curl up. He was starting to overthink. What if what if what if what if.

It kept repeating in his head. What if Namjoon won't like the scars on my body? What if I won't be able to sleep next to him? How can he like a person like me? Is he falling hard like I am? What if Tae appears and interrupts us in a certain moment? What if—

"Jimin-ssi?"

Jimin blinks and looks at the door, seeing Namjoon under a doorframe. He curls up a smile. "Hey."

"Everything okay?"

Jimin nods. "Yeah. I'm okay. I-I uh, was just thinking." He lowers his eyes, then back to him. "Oh yeah!" He turns around and goes to his desk, starting to find something in his drawer.

Namjoon's brows couldn't help to curl, walking in the bedroom and seeing what he's looking at. His frown lowers even more. He was...staring at himself. Or possibly seeing Tae. Namjoon gulps hard and just looks away from looking at the mirror, Jimin suddenly being in front of him with something in his hand.

"I wanted to give you this...before anything happens to me... Like if I end up running away again or...anything else." Jimin softly says, opening his hand to show it.

Namjoon looks at it, brows curling up again as Jimin gives it to him by putting it down on his hand. It's a red bracelet that Jimin made himself not too long ago. The ties were in a star form, the jewelry part is a red star. It was simple and sweet, having a lot of meaning to it in general by the person who made it.

"I made one myself." Jimin shows his wrist to reveal a baby blue bracelet that is exactly like the red one, lowering his hand down. "Jeongguk also had one, but he accidentally broke his. I...don't remember how to make another one for him. His is green. He still has it though."

"I love it, Jiminie." Namjoon says, looking at him with a soft smile. "It's beautiful...just like the person who made it."

Jimin bites the inside of his cheek and looks away, blushing madly from the compliment. Namjoon chuckles, walking over to the bed and sitting down. He slips the bracelet on and admires it on his wrist. Namjoon looks up and looks around the room. His desk of schoolwork is messy, the mirror is an irritation to Jimin... He feels like he should help him.

"I-I'll be right back." Jimin nervously says, leaving his bedroom and going straight to his sister.

Namjoon side smiles. He gets up from the bed and walks over to the desk and sits himself down on the chair. He started to put the papers in order by classes, putting all the pencils and pens together. Namjoon flattens down the papers, making sure it's all in order. Once Namjoon finished cleaning up his desk, he grabs an expo marker and gets up to walk over to the mirror.

He kneels to the mirror and starts writing positive messages on it. Once he was done, he puts the cap on and turns the mirror around to face the wall. He softly sighs, putting the marker back. Namjoon walks over to the door and pulls the door to almost close, letting it stay creaked open. Namjoon closes his eyes and slips off his shirt, folding it up.

Jimin gets himself back to his bedroom, seeing Namjoon already getting ready for bed—since it was already late at night during the time. Namjoon was already under the covers, sitting up as he's on his phone. He was still shirtless, being easily comfortable in Jimin's bedroom.

Jimin smiles small, closing the door behind him. "Comfortable?"

Namjoon looks up, then smiles. "Yeah, I am."

Jimin chuckles, rubbing the back of his neck. He notices the mirror is backwards and his desk is all nice and clean. Namjoon turns off his phone and puts it down, laying himself down, face up. Jimin just walks over to the lamp and shuts it off, walking over to the other side of the bed. Namjoon bites the inside of his cheek, slowly turning his head.

Jimin nervously slips off his shirt to change into his pajamas. He's so pretty... Namjoon thought. He quickly looks away when Jimin turns his head to him. He closes his eyes and hope he didn't catch him looking. Jimin looks away, deciding not to slip on his pajama pants and put them to the side.

Jimin gets himself under the blanket, laying on his side and gulping hard. "Namjoonie?"

Namjoon turns his head to him. "Yeah?"

Jimin smiles small. "Thank you."

"For what?"

"Just...everything. You're really an amazing boyfriend."

Namjoon smiles big. "Not as amazing as you."

Jimin covers his face with both of his hands, starting to blush. Namjoon chuckles and turns to his side to face him. He reaches over to grab one of his hands and move it off his face. Jimin moves his other hand off and looks at him, slowly intertwining their fingers together. I love you so much, Namjoon. I wish I was brave enough to say it out loud to you.
