"You what?"
Jimin blinked a few times. He couldn't believe what he had just heard. He didn't even realize how much time had passed until Jeongguk spoke up once again.

"I love you and I want you to know that,"
he spoke gently, the look in his eyes oozing of sincerity.

Jimin truly was at a loss of words.

"You," Jimin pointed at Jeongguk with his index finger, his eyebrows raised, before pointing at himself, "love me?"

"Do you want me to repeat it a second time or what,"
Jeongguk said, half teasing, half being serious. He was getting slightly defensive because he felt extremely vulnerable and Jimin not really answering made him edgy.

His shoulders slumped forward. From the way Jimin reacted, he was already contemplating how to deal with his rejection.
What he didn't expect though, was that Jimin would suddenly, full-on,
start laughing.
Out of nowhere.
It rang loudly through the room that had been solely filled with silence.

Jimin was actually laughing. And out of joy at that but Jeongguk didn't really know or was too oblivious to realize that so he created some space between them, feeling uncomfortable.

"You love me,"
Jimin repeated the other's words in awe as he cupped his face with his hands. He couldn't believe that this was happening. He had been holding back for so long, giving his all to hide his true feelings and for what? He tightened his grip on Jeongguk's locks, afraid that Jeongguk might change his mind.

However, Jeongguk grabbed Jimin by his wrists and tried to push his hands away as he groaned,
"Jimin, are you done rubbing it in-"

"-and I love you"

He had said it, now there was no going back.

Both of them stilled in their movements. Jeongguk's doe eyes suddenly got very big.

Now it was Jeongguk who didn't know what to say. He didn't even realize how much time had passed since those words had left Jimin's mouth until the older spoke up once again,
"You're not gonna say anything, Bigfoot?"

"Shut up, dwarf,"
Jeongguk huffed in response. It was natural to them. However, this time they're just teasing each other instead of arguing.

"You're never gonna st-"

Jimin started to say while rolling his eyes but before he could finish complaining, he was pulled into a deep kiss by his neck.
Jeongguk placed his other hand on the small of his back to close the gap between their bodies and make Jimin straddle his lap.

Jimin sighed into the kiss as soon as he realized that Jeongguk's lips were on his. He let him take the lead because he felt like Jeongguk needed this right now. And because he loved the way Jeongguk desperately moved his tongue into his mouth.

They switched between deeper kisses that took his breath away and shorter, sweet kisses that made him fall in love a bit more every time their lips touched. He could feel Jeongguk smiling against his lips which also made him smile and they stayed like that for a while, sharing their unspoken feelings between kisses and pecks.

They eventually had to part because they were out of breath, connecting their foreheads instead and smiling at each other. Jimin closed his eyes to take this moment in.

This is really happening.

Jimin didn't care what was going to happen in the future. He loved Jeongguk and Jeongguk loved him and that's all he needed to know for now to be happy.

"You're wet,"
Jimin joked when he took in the sight in front of him, seeing the wet patches on Jeongguk's clothes where he had touched him and vice versa.

"Oh wow, Jimin. How old are we? Twelve?"

"I swear I did not mean it like that!"

However, when Jimin started to giggle, his little lie was definitely exposed.

"You little brat,"
Jeongguk grunted playfully and tickled his sides which made him giggle even more. When Jimin tried to crawl out of his lap, he circled his waist with his arm and pulled him closer, their noses touching.

"I missed this,"
he heard Jeongguk speak lowly as to their close proximity. He placed another peck on Jeongguk's lips before softly replying,
"me too"

After a while of them just looking into each other's eyes, Jeongguk eventually decided to speak up as he went through Jimin's wet hair with his hand,
"Come on, let's get you fresh clothes so you don't catch a cold"

Jimin nodded before he stood up, never letting go of Jeongguk's hand. They walked into the brunette's room, said opening the door of his closet, letting Jimin have a look.
"You can choose whatever you want, I'll just go to the bathroom really quick and bring you a towel,"
Jeongguk said before leaving the room and returning with a large soft towel. When he was about to step out of the room once again, Jimin grabbed his wrist and confusedly asked,
"Where are you going?"

"Out of the room so you can change"

Jimin didn't know whether he wanted to slap or kiss him.

"You know I don't mind. It's not like it's the first time you're seeing me naked,"
he teased the other and Jeongguk tried to look annoyed but he couldn't hide the small smirk that was creeping up his face.

"Alright"
Jeongguk sat down on his bed with a sigh. He grabbed the towel and unfolded it as he was listening to Jimin ranting about how he met Taehyung in the park.

"-and he was mad while I was full-on crying and I didn't understand why and then he told me about the death anniversary and I came back as quickly as possible and-"

"Min, you're rambling. It's alright. I'm alright. We're alright, okay? You couldn't have known because I never told you the actual date so please don't worry,"
Jeonngguk interrupted him and pulled him over by his waist as soon as Jimin had put on a pair of sweatpants, making him sit down and standing up himself.

"But are you feeling okay?"

Jeongguk hesitated for a second contemplating on how to answer him. He started to gently rub his hair dry with the towel as he spoke up,
"Of course I'm kind of sad but I'm fine now that you are here. Maybe this date will turn into a happy memory from now on"

"You think so?"
Jimin looked up at him with a hopeful look in his glistening eyes. Jeongguk then, put down the towel and cupped the blonde's face. Everyone would be able to see the adoration he held for the other in his eyes.
"We still have to talk about a lot but yes, I do"

Jimin placed his hands on top of Jeongguk's and squeezed them a bit before raising one eyebrow as he replied,
"Good because this time, you're not getting rid of me so easily"

Hello loves,
ahhhh I can't believe it! They're finally getting somewhere. This story just shows once again how much I love to create characters that are oblivious as fuck TT.
I'm going to try and finish this story by the end of June. Maybe I will even manage to finish it in time for our tannies' anniversary (oh look, that's me being delusional💀). ANYWAYS, we will see HAHA.
Lots of love <3
