It had been a week since Jimin visited Taehyung's parents.

Now looking back, he feels stupid for feeling so nervous. If he knew how welcoming and understanding Taehyung's parents were, he wouldn't have lost seven nights worth of sleep.

After that night, Jimin and Taehyung became even closer. Taehyung doesn't know about the talk he had with his mother and Jimin...he had gained a little more courage to finally start thinking about a life where Taehyung is not only his friend but also someone more.

He likes Taehyung..he knows that much already, but the idea of dating him and opening his heart to the other man only if one day he too leaves him alone in this world...it scared him to death.

But after that talk...he understood that if you love someone..truly love someone..then even death can't scare you from being with them.

And also..Jimin thinks it's time to let go of Tae Ho. He'll always stay in his heart. He was his first love after all, but maybe it's time to let someone else inside his heart.

So Jimin finally starts thinking about a time when him and Taehyung are boyfriends and he can say with a hundred percent assurance that he absolutely loves the idea of that.

Anyone would be lucky to have a person like Taehyung in their life and Jimin felt extremely grateful to be that person.

Meanwhile, Taehyung noticed that something had changed. Him and Jimin were good earlier, but after the dinner with his parents, Jimin had somehow changed and their bond had become better.

He couldn't point out the exact thing, but he knew this change had something to do with his mother. Although she wouldn't tell him anything, he knew something had happened in the kitchen when his mom, Jimin and Seokjin hyung went to get ice cream but came back empty handed with moist eyes.

Pfft.. he isn't stupid, you know? He has big eyes for a reason!

The only thing his mother keeps saying is, "Don't you ever let that boy leave Taehyung-ah! No matter what..keep him."

If only she knew he would keep Jimin for his next seven lives if only the other man allowed him to.



It was currently seven in the evening and Jimin was giving instructions to his employee, Yoon Cheol who was supposed to close the cafe as Jimin would be leaving early.

Just then the door of the cafe opened and in came the man Jimin was waiting for.......no not Taehyung....it was Jungkook.

The thing was, the previous night, Jungkook randomly called him complaining about how Jimin didn't hangout with him anymore. That he's always busy going on dates or working.

Though the day before, Jungkook had been at the cafe for more than five hours, trying to get gossip out of him. Although, Jimin didn't point that out.

He knew somewhere the younger was right. He had kind of neglected his friends for some time and he felt extremely guilty. Especially towards younger man.

He knew Jungkook was very sensitive and required his hyung's affection and attention at all times. Although Yoongi hyung and Hoseok hyung were there, he wanted all three and the hyungs could never deny their maknae so, like a whipped hyung, Jimin agreed to meet him.

That brings us to the present where Jimin's trying to find out where the younger is taking him.

"C'mon! Tell meeeee" Jimin whinned like a child. Because as much as he is whipped for his maknae, Jungkook is also just as whipped for his hyungs, especially the short ones.

But not today. He just laughed at his hyung's antics and said in a sing-song tone.

"I won't tell youuu!"
