“In your arms”

The morning sun had already risen, yet Jungkook still hadn't returned home. Little Ji-ho was still sleeping in Jimin's bedroom, while Jimin found himself in the kitchen,  preparing some simple breakfast, though his heart wasn't really in the work. Every few minutes, he would pause what he was doing and glance anxiously out the window, desperately hoping to catch sight of Jungkook's familiar figure walking up the path or his car pulling into the driveway. But each time he looked, there was nothing but the empty street staring back at him.

As the minutes passed by, Jimin realised that he was going to late for college and Ji-ho was going to be late for school. However, these concerns seemed nothing compared to his need to see Jungkook with his own eyes and confirm that he was well and safe .

The previous night was torture for Jimin. Sleep had completely eluded him as he lay awake, tossing and turning, his mind racing with worry about what might have happened to Jungkook. He also had tried to call Jungkook multiple times, but instead of hearing Jungkook's voice, one of his friends had answered. The friend had explained that Jungkook was sleeping at that moment and assured Jimin that he would return home the next day.

But when Jimin had asked for more details about what had actually happened to Jungkook, but the friend refused to tell him anything. This had left Jimin with no choice but to wait for Jungkook's return.

Now, in the kitchen, Jimin carefully cutting fresh fruit into neat pieces, arranging them on a white plate before placing everything on a serving tray. He was just about to open the fridge door when something outside caught his attention.
His heart stopped as he spotted Jungkook's black car approaching the building. Without wasting a single second, Jimin left everything in middle and rushed downstairs as quickly as his legs could carry him.

He ran towards the car, his heart pounding with a mixture of relief and continued concern. He stopped as the car finally stopped and door opened wide and Jungkook slowly emerged with his two friends by his side, who were clearly supporting him on either side.

Jungkook couldn't walk by his own, feeling weak but when his eyes met Jimin's, his face lit up with a gentle, tired smile. The sight of that familiar smile caused all of Jimin's carefully controlled emotions to overflow, and tears began falling down his cheeks as he rushed forward and threw his arms around Jungkook in a desperate embrace.

Jungkook responded immediately, wrapping his arms securely around Jimin's waist and holding him close, his own smile growing warmer at the contact. Being in Jimin's arms again felt like coming home, and he could feel his stress beginning to melt away.

The previous night, when Jimin had left him alone, Jungkook had been consumed by the thought that he had lost yet another important person in his life. But here was Jimin, still caring for him, still worried about his wellbeing, still very much present in his life.

"What on earth happened to you? Please tell me everything. Are you in pain right n-ow? You loo-k s-o weak. Talk to me, Kookie, please. Are you injured? Did someone hu-rt you? I need to know—"

"Shh, Jimin, I'm alright,hmm.
Please don't cry like this. Shh, look at me properly - I'm fine, see?" Jungkook attempted to gently wipe away the tears that continued to flow down Jimin's cheeks, but Jimin seemed unable to stop crying, his emotions completely overwhelming him. Seeing this, Jungkook softly cupped Jimin's face in both his hands and guided him to make direct eye contact, " Look at me and listen, sweetie ! "

Jimin hummed in return as Jungkook smiled, still cupping his cheeks,
"I just collapsed at the office yesterday because my blood pressure dropped dangerously low. But my friends....they immediately got me to the hospital and made sure I received proper medical attention. It's honestly nothing too serious, and I'm feeling much better now. Besides, you're here with me, and that makes everything better. If anything like this happens to me again, you'll take care of me and help me he-al, won't you, Jimine?" Jungkook's smile was soft and reassuring as he spoke, and Jimin responded with an adorable pout before turning to look at Jungkook's friends, who were standing nearby with understanding smiles on their faces, clearly relieved to see their friend safely met with someone who cared so deeply about him.

Jimin gradually stepped back, wiped away his tears, and said hello to Jungkook's friends.

His friends walked over and grinned at Jimin, with one of them saying, "You are lucky, bro - he really is an angel." He gave Jimin a gentle smile, and another friend chimed in, "Look after him, Jimin. We'll catch up with you both later.

See ya, see ya."
