You can't help but feel both relieved and guilty to have Jimin sitting beside you. His forgiving nature makes you wish he had been angrier with you because he had every right to. The thought of him forgiving you, despite all that had happened, has you feeling both ashamed and grateful.
"You look like you're about to cry." Lei comments as she plops down beside you.
Two days had passed since their arrival, and there hasn't been a moment that you weren't around Lei or Jimin. You didn't want to waste the second chance you had been graciously given by the two people who persisted on being a part of your life.
"I'm just really happy these days." You say softly as Jimin chuckles beside you.
He tilts his head to get a better view of you before sparing a warm smile in your direction. "Things will only get better from here on out, okay." He reassures you.
You've noticed that about Jimin these past couple days–he's been overly reassuring towards you. It's clear that he's harboring some pain, something he doesn't want you to see, but you have a feeling that he's not ready to address it just yet. You can't help but wonder if it's because he fears that he'll scare you away if he were to express it.
"I know, I'm just–I feel like you should've made me work for your forgiveness a bit longer." You reply gently.
Jimin's features softened. "Are you crazy? I think these past couple of months have proven that we've been through enough pain. Why prolong it any longer?"
You were amazed by his resilience. It's as if he doesn't have a resentful bone in his body. You can't help the warmth that spreads through your chest, traveling up your neck until a faint blush colors your cheeks. Jimin leans forward and places a chaste kiss on your cheek.
"Disgusting." Lei mutters in a teasing tone while dramatically rolling her eyes. "So, what's the plan today?" She asks.
"Well, I usually head to Brockenhurst for my volunteer work. But if you want, I can skip out on it and do something you guys want to do." You offer.
Lei waves you off. "I don't mind going along if it's okay with you."
"Yeah, I think it'd be good for all of us to see what you've been up to this summer." Jimin chimes in while placing another chaste kiss to your cheek.
Lei grimaces at the interaction, though there's a hint of comfort in her stare that tells you she's lightly joking. You bite back a smile as you look between Jimin and Lei. Their support was something that you hadn't realized you missed.
In the past you probably would've found their forward nature about everything to be unwanted. But after experiencing the loneliness of their absence, things that weren't their fault at all, you can't help but find comfort in their willingness to be a part of your life. Relief swells in your chest, bringing comfort to every part of your body.
