JIMIN POV

'You're up early.' Hoseok and Yoongi were at the table, as they are every single morning

'Morning.' I greet them, cracking my neck a bit

'She still asleep?' Yoongi asks, slurping on his coffee

'Yeah. I kinda sent myself out not to wake her up.'

'Felt like commiting a crime?' He teases

'Honestly, yes.' I admit, scoffing at myself

'Perv!' Hoseok joins in on the teasing, making me chuckle a bit

'That's not what I meant, you idiot. I just end up kissing her and waking her up every time. I need to let her sleep in peace here and there.'

I expected more teasing and trolling, but neither one of them said a word. They just smiled understandably.

'You still in that good mood of yours, or is the old Jimin making a grand return?'

'I think the old Jimin can take a seat and stay seated. I let go of that part of myself. I had to. Not just for myself, but for her.'

Everything that happened in the last month or so has made me rethink every life choice I ever made. The moment I killed Isui, I killed away that part of my life, too. I needed to let it go. It was suffocating me. I wish I knew how to do that long ago. The relief it brought me is indescribable. I feel like I can finally breathe.

'For what it's worth, I'm happy to see you like this.' Hoseok patted me on the shoulder, with Yoongi nodding in agreement

'Thanks.' I smile a bit. They've always treated me like a brother, even when I was nothing more than a soulless murderer. If it wasn't for all of them, I probably would have been taken down by them at some point. I got lucky.

'I think your other half is lost.' Hoseok looked past me, snickering quietly

Following his his eyes, my eyes went to Rain, who was still seemingly half asleep. Her hair is everywhere, and she is cutely rubbing her eyes, dragging her feet behind her. My shirt looks like a dress on her, but she refuses to sleep in anything else. And I absolutely adore seeing her in my clothes.

'Morning, princess.' Yoongi snickers at her

'Morning.' She waddles over, waving lazily, then flops on my lap, instantly laying her head on my shoulder. 'You left me. That's rude.'

'I didn't want to wake you up.' I smile at her, hugging her so she doesn't slip off of me.

She turned herself into a tiny ball on my lap, even bringing her legs up and hiding her face in my neck.

'Mhm.' She nodded, just barely, getting herself more comfy

'Rain?' I call her name, but I got nothing in return. Just quiet, soft breathing against my neck. 'Baby.' I murmur, again, nothing

'Did she-'

'She fell asleep.' I cut Hoseok off, answering before he even asked. 'Unbelievable.' It took a lot not to laugh. How the hell does one do this?!

The two of them found it hilarious, Hoseok almost slipping off the chair, while Yoongi covered his mouth not to laugh.

This girl is going to make my heart explode one day.

'See you later.' I nod at them, slowly sliding my arm under her legs to pick her up. She can't sleep curled up like this. I need to get her back to bed.

She didn't budge once until I tried to lay her down. Her fists balled up around my shirt, refusing to let go of me. Ever her nose scrunched cutely.

'How can you be so damn cute...'

I suppose I don't have much choice but to lay with her. I barely even got on the bed, and she wrapped herself around me, nuzzling into my chest.

'Mmmm... my Jiminshi.' She mumbled, a tiny smile forming on her face

She never ever called me that, but I feel like my heart might burst. She is asleep and still thinking about me. I want to marry her all over again.

'Finally, that's done.' I chucked the car keys on the coffee table, sitting down on the sofa

'Everything went okay?' Namjoon asks as he passes by

'Yeah. He was way too excited, but I suppose that's good. Means he won't come back.'

I just took Mabuchi to the airport. The last bit that I needed to tie up. One last loose end to close an entire chapter of my life.

-----

'You're leaving me again.' Rain whines cutely, trying to keep me in bed. It's adorable how she gets all pouty about it.

'I'll be back in a minute. I'm just gonna get some water and come back.'

'Promise?' She is half asleep and still won't let go

'Promise.'

She only let go after I kissed her on the hair, a smile spreading across her sleepy face as she sank into the pillow.

It's almost 3 in the morning. It's dead silent in the house. Everyone is long asleep. Or not.

Walking to the kitchen, I saw a bit of light through the cracked open door of Namjoon's office.

*knock knock*
I peeked my head in right after I knocked, only to see Namjoon with his head deep into some book.

He looked up at me, fixing his glasses back up on his nose.
'What are you doing up this late?'

'I was gonna ask the same thing.'

'Reading.' He lifts the book

'Water.' I lift the bottle. 'I'll leave you to it.'

I took a step out, pulling the doors almost closed. And then I stopped, going in again.

'Actually, do you have a minute?'
