~ CONFESSION ~

Jimin lay sprawled on his bed, his mind a whirlwind of thoughts and emotions.

Thoughts of Jungkook consumed him, filling his heart with both joy and uncertainty.

He pondered the nature of their relationship, questioning whether they were doing the right thing, whether they were ready for the depth of their connection.

As he tossed and turned trying to get comfortable, suddenly a knock on his apartment door startled him, interrupting his contemplation.

He rose from the bed furrowing his eyebrows with a small pout. The knock repeated and he rolled his eyes quickly slipping on a pair of black shorts, running into the living room, and opening the door.

Jimin's breath hitches as he sees Jungkook standing there, his eyes filled with determination. Confusion etched Jimin's face as he asked, "Jungkook, what are you doing here?"

Without hesitation, Jungkook rushed past him, his voice filled with urgency. "I want to know, Jimin. I want to know what we're doing. What are we?"

Jimin's heart skipped a beat, caught off guard by Jungkook's directness. He opened his mouth to respond, but Jungkook cut him off, his voice filled with a mix of desperation and hope.

"No, please. Don't say anything yet,"
Jungkook implored, pacing back and forth in Jimin's living room. "I need to know if I'm wasting my time. Because I feel something so incredibly strong for you, Jimin and I know you feel it too."

Jimin's heart skipped a beat as he listened to Jungkook's heartfelt confession. He smiled, a mix of sadness and tenderness in his eyes. Jungkook's words resonated deep within him, stirring a whirlwind of emotions.

Jimin sighed, closing his door and stepping towards Jungkook, "I'm scared, Jungkook," Jimin admitted, his voice barely above a whisper. "I've been down this road before, and I ruined it. What if we hurt each other?"

Jungkook's gaze softened, his voice filled with sincerity. "I know, Jimin. I'm scared too. But there's nothing you could ever do that would drive me away. I'm willing to fight for it. I'm willing to fight for us. Because..."

Jungkook sighed and cupped Jimin's face, "Because I love you, Jimin."

A glimmer of hope and shock danced in Jimin's eyes as heard those three words fall from Jungkook's lips for the first time. He yearned to believe in the depth of Jungkook's love, to let go of his fears and embrace the possibility of a future together.

"How do I know you mean that?" Jimin questioned, his voice laced with vulnerability.

Jungkook pulled his hands away and reached out his pinky finger extended towards Jimin. "Every time I say I love you, I'll pinky promise you," he declared. "Because you know I'll never break a promise."

A small, fragile smile graced Jimin's lips, "Are you sure you want this, Jungkook? What if-"

"There's no what-ifs, Jimin. I want this. I want you. I want everything that has to do with you because I'm in love with you."

Jimin's eyes glistened with tears as he finally nodded in agreement. "Okay," he whispered.

In that tender moment, Jimin slowly lifted his pink to intertwine them together, "I love you, too, kookie."

Jungkook smiled, he pulled Jimin closer, and their lips met in a gentle kiss, sealing their unspoken promises. It was a kiss filled with hope, with the belief that love could conquer their fears and heal their wounds.

Jimin giggled into the kiss and he left himself being lifted off the ground and being spun in a circle. Jungkook hugged his small body tighter as they continued to kiss, Jimin warping his whole body around him, never wanting to let go.

Until they pulled away, their eyes locked, and in that shared gaze, they found solace.

They knew that their journey would not be easy, but with their pinky promises and unwavering love, they were ready to face whatever lay ahead, hand in hand.
