Jimin stares back at y/n in awe. He was prepared to feel nervous, but the overwhelming feeling of relief, hurt, excitement, love, and everything in between swells in his chest. He feels his vision get teary as his feet stagger towards her. He wasn't thinking when he stumbled over, nor was he in control of reticence when he pulled her in for a hug, but none of it seemed to matter when he felt y/n relax in his arms. He felt light, as if drifting in a surreal slumber because surely this can't be real.
Y/n's arms circle around him, reciprocating his gesture in earnest. Her breathing shudders against him, and though no words have been exchanged, Jimin's certain she feels a sense of relief. It was like the weight of the past couple months had been lifted from his shoulders.
A stronger person would have harbored some anger towards y/n. Hell, someone in their right mind would have demanded answers the very moment upon seeing one another. But this, holding y/n and seeing that she was okay, was all that he wanted. When he pulls away, Jimin braces for some choice words from y/n, but instead he's met with her tear-streaked face.
"H–how...you're here..." She breathes out, her voice wavering with emotion that it brings tears to his own eyes.
"I couldn't leave things the way it had been." He says softly.
He knows there's enough blame to go around, and wanting an explanation for everything is a priority, but considering they're in an extremely public setting in a country completely new to him, Jimin understood that this was neither the time nor place for such conversation. Another wave of relief crashes over him knowing that y/n hadn't run from him. If that wasn't a ringing endorsement that things will even out in due time, then Jimin's unsure what would be.
Lei clears her throat, breaking through the moment that Jimin and y/n were sharing. A sheepish expression covers y/n's features as she looks at Lei. Grief and hesitance lingers in y/n's stare as she spares Lei a small smile. Lei, who usually has a forgiving nature, keeps her features composed–almost icy.
Jimin had heard an earful from Lei about how she's a little upset with her best friend. He made no comment on the matter, offering an ear to an exasperated Lei because, just like himself, Lei was in an ocean of uncertainty on things related to y/n–at least in terms of her current inner thoughts.
"You have some explaining to do." Lei remarks in a serious way. Her stare holds some relief, though there's still a significant amount of gravity in them–a look that Jimin had never seen Lei adorn, especially towards y/n.
Y/n thickly swallows. "I know. I have so much to explain, but I'm just happy to see the both of you." Her voice softens before adding, "It's been quite a summer and I'm just glad I'll have a chance to tell you both at the same time."
She peeks through her lashes at Jimin, who stares back at her without judgment. He knows how stupidly in love he is with y/n that he'd keep an open mind when the time comes to having a serious discussion.
