“Then marry me”

"Hyung, what's going on? I'm sorry if I upset yo-u, but I'm not going anywhere. You need me, Ji-ho needs me, I won't leav-e you bot-h," Jimin pleaded, struggling against Jungkook's grip as he was pulled out of the apartment.

"What’s wrong with you, Hyung? Why are you treating me like this?Ji-ho won't l—," Jungkook interrupted, cupping Jimin's face to make him look up. Seeing the tears streaming down Jimin's face made Jungkook feel guilty, but he was at a loss for what to do. "Ji-ho is my son, not yours. So, you don't need to think about him, let me handle my son, and you just leave," Jungkook stated, knowing he didn’t want to say that but felt he had no alternative—deep down, he was aware he would regret this later.

Jimin's heart crashed at those words, but anger bubbled within him. How could Jungkook say that? Gritting his teeth, he pushed Jungkook away. "I’m not going," he asserted with resolve, turning back toward the apartment.

However, Jungkook stopped him again, grabbing his arm. "Let go of my hand!" Jimin snapped angrily, but Jungkook pressed him against the wall, caging him between his arms. Surprisingly, Jimin allowed this. In that moment, something felt different. Jungkook leaned in closer and whispered in his ear, "Why?" Jimin felt a shiver run down his spine from Jungkook's warm breath. "Hmm?" Jungkook murmured, staying close. "Why, Jimin? Why do you want to care for us? We’re not your family, so why are you doing all this for us? Please, tell me why?" Jungkook just wanted to understand, and secretly hoped Jimin might admit to liking him.

"I thought we were a famil-y,"

Jimin said after a long pause, his voice cracking as Jungkook pulled away. Jimin looked down, feeling hurt, unable to stop his tears.

It hurts.

Jungkook's heart ached at the sight, but he steadied himself and replied, "We’re not, we can’t be, and you know why! I don’t want Ji-ho to get more attached to you. He wants you to be his mom, and that’s impossible. He wants you to marry me; I heard everything, Jimin!" At those words, Jimin lifted his gaze, his eyes widening. "You—

"Hmm! I just don’t want my son to get hurt in the end because I know him very well... I’m doing all this for us!" Jungkook said, quickly looking away, unable to hold Jimin’s gaze for long.

"Now I understand you, hyu-ng," Jimin sniffed. "But he will get hurt if I leav-e, and I don’t think I can li-ve without h-im!" Jimin sobbed at the last words, and Jungkook clenched his fists, tears streaming down his face.

"Then marry me!" Jungkook said directly, leaving Jimin in shock. Jimin quickly shook his head in refusal. Jungkook smiled sadly and closed his eyes. Turning around,"So please leave us. If you can’t give my son what he wants from you, I’m sor-ry, Jimin for saying th-is ....b-but I think we need to stop here. I don’t want my child to get hurt; he’s already lost his mother. Only I-I know how to handle my little chil-d when he see-s his mother dying. Please, just leave us alone."
