Light was pressing against your eyelids, nudging your brain to wake up. You fought the urge to open your eyes and just stay in this moment. Your body was tired but not in pain. Why did you expect to be in pain? You fished for your last memory. With a gasp, you sat up straight and quickly looked around in a panic.
"You're ok, Y/N! You're safe!" You looked towards your right. Jin was pushing himself up into a seated position next to you. His hair was tousled, his cheeks and eyelids puffy like he had been asleep just moments before. There was a golden light coming through the window catching the highlights in his light brown hair.
Were you hallucinating? How could you be here? You looked around you. You were back in their house, in the room you had escaped from. It was just you and Jin. You touched your chest but there were no wounds. What happened after you passed out? You looked back at Jin. He smiled at you gently.
"How am I here? I thought I was dead," Your voice came out raspy with sleep. Jin shook his head, still smiling.
"No, we got to you in time. You're going to be ok!" The relief you felt that you were alive, that you were away from your alphas and back in this house was too much for you. A damn of emotions broke and you began sobbing uncontrollably. Jin instantly pulled you into his chest, holding you to him as you cried.
He stroked your hair and your whole body responded to it. No one had ever touched you with such care. He held you like that for a few minutes. His nose strayed to your hairline and his lips connected with your forehead. You gripped the front of his shirt in surprise.
"I know you don't understand, but you are precious to me." You pulled back to look at him. His calming smile slouched into a pout, "You scared me, don't do that again!" You giggled.
"He's too old, his heart can't take the stress anymore!" You recognized the voice and turned with a smile. Jimin was standing just inside the room. He was wearing sweats and a t-shirt but still managed to look absolutely beautiful.
"I'm going to get you something to eat, Y/N." Jin kissed your forehead again and then got off the bed. He flicked Jimin's forehead as he passed and Jimin flinched away with a giggle. Unceremoniously Jimin launched himself onto the bed where Jin had been. You squeaked pleasantly. He didn't say anything at first, he just stared at you, shifting his gaze around your face with a pleasant smile.
"I was worried about you, I'm glad you're safe and healthy," A worried look replaced his smile, "I thought we were going to lose you, I don't know what I would have done!" You lightly touched the skin of your chest again. There was nothing there, not a single mark. You searched your memory for what had happened, but you can't quite remember, it still feels hazy.
Jimin, who had been reclining on the bed, sat up and leaned close to you. Your heart began to race and you searched his face, trying to understand his motives. He came close enough that your noses brushed. You've been this close to people before, you have even been this close to Jimin himself before, but you have never been so open to receiving affection like this. Jimin's hand came to the back of your neck and he lightly pressed his lips into yours. You whimpered at the touch.
He placed his forehead against yours, slowly shaking his head back and forth, making his nose rub against yours. The act felt intimate, maybe even more intimate than when the two of you had mated.
"Thank you for coming back to me!" He kissed you again and then pulled you in for a hug. You remembered with a start Jimin calling out to you, begging you not to leave him, and how violently your body had started to heal itself. You fisted the fabric of his shirt. He had seen you heal and that scared you.
He pulled away from the hug and immediately started kissing you again. The kiss was fierce, like he was releasing some pent up energy he had stored up. It felt good, so much better than the first time you had kissed. Then you had been stressed and just wanted to get the mating over with. This time you wanted it to last forever. You gasped when he left your lips and kissed his way down to your neck.
