The soft glow of the bedside lamp casts a warm ambience in the room. Jimin rummages through the drawer, his fingers sifting through various items in search of something precious – the necklace Jungkook gave him. The room is filled with quiet determination as Jimin's eyes scan the space, desperately seeking the silver chain with its delicate pendant.

Unbeknownst to Jimin, Jungkook stands at the doorway, hidden in the shadows, watching him with a mixture of amusement and affection. A fond smile plays on his lips as he observes Jimin's futile search.

He holds the necklace in his hand, twirling it between his fingers. It's a moment he's been dreading and awaiting simultaneously.

As Jimin continues his search, Jungkook takes a moment to admire the necklace in his hand. It's simple yet elegant, just like Jimin. He traces the contours of the pendant, his heart swelling with affection.

Jimin mutters to himself, "Where is it can possibly be?" The urgency in his voice is evident as he continues the search, his eyes scanning every inch of the room.

As Jimin's frustration grows, Jungkook carefully slips the new memory card into the pendant, concealing it within the hollow space. He watches the soft glow of the silver as it accepts the new addition, the pendant now holding both sentimental value and hidden truth.

Jimin turns, his eyes meeting Jungkook's from across the room. There's a flicker of surprise in Jimin's gaze, catching the subtle movement in the shadows. Jungkook steps into the light, the necklace hanging innocently around his neck.

"Looking for something, baby?" Jungkook asks, a playful smile dancing on his lips, though his eyes hold a secret.

"Love...I'm sorry..." Jimin shoots Jungkook a guilty gaze as he pouts. "The necklace you gave me...it has been missing for almost two days."

"Which one?" Jungkook bites back his smile, and can't help but find Jimin cute.

"The one you gave me in the car. The one you told me to wear every day," Jimin looks at Jungkook with his doe eyes. "I swear I worked so hard to find it for the past two days...but I still can't find it," Jimin admits, his expression a blend of frustration and disappointment.

Jungkook feigns innocence, touching the pendant around his own neck. "You mean this one?" He smirks, the silver chain catching the light.

"How did you...? I've been searching everywhere!" Jimin's eyes widen, realization dawning on him. 

Jungkook walks over, reassuring hands wrapped around Jimin's waist. "I found it at the parking lot near your car yesterday. But I wait until you tell me," he says, his tone light, masking the weight of the secret within the pendant.

"You could have just given me! I was getting worried." Jimin looks at him suspiciously, but the sincerity in Jungkook's eyes eases his worry. "...and I feel bad to tell you too."

Jungkook chuckles, brushing his thumb over the pendant. "I wanted it to be a surprise. Besides, it's back where it belongs now." He fastens is around Jimin's neck.

"Thank god you found it." Jimin sighs in relief, a smile tugging at his lips. 

Jungkook smirks, a mischievous glint in his eyes. "Lucky for you, I'm a trustworthy guy." The unspoken truth lingers between them, hidden within the pendant—a secret they both carry, for a purpose larger than themselves.

"You always know how to make things better." Jimin loops his arms around Jungkook's torso and rests his head against Jungkook's chest.

"You know I would do anything to make you smile, baby." Jungkook wraps his arms around Jimin, holding him close.
