Perfect

Be mine

"Alright, we'll get going before it gets too late," Taehyung says to his parents, in gentle voice. He steps forward and embraces them both in a warm hug. "I'll come to see you both again soon," he promises.

His mother, her eyes soften, gently pats his shoulder. "Bring Seokjin along next time, and don't be mean to him, okay?" she says with a playful sternness. Turning to Seokjin, she adds, "And you too, Seokjin, if he isn't being nice to you, just call us." She pulls Jin into a tight hug. "Take care of yourself and eat more, alright?"

With their goodbyes said, Taehyung and Seokjin leave the house, the front door closing softly behind them. Jin, wasting no time, quickens his pace towards the car. "I'll drive," he announces, his tone leaving little room for argument.

Taehyung tries to interject, "it's okay i will drive, alright-" but Jin is already settling into the driver's seat, his hands confidently gripping the wheel. "You didn't sleep much last night. I can't risk my safety," Jin jokes as he starts the engine, a small smile playing on his lips.

Taehyung, sliding into the passenger seat, retorts with a teasing tone, "You didn't get to sleep either."

"Just let me drive, okay? I want to," Jin says as he starts to drive. "It's going to be a two-hour drive anyway. I'll be fine."

Within ten minutes, Taehyung has drifted off in the passenger seat, his breathing slow and even lost in a peaceful slumber. Jin drives in silence, his mind a chaos of thoughts. His phone remains off because that's the only way for him to avoid that person. He knows he can't keep this up forever, but would that person really go to extreme lengths to harm him?

He sighs deeply, a burden settling on his chest as he contemplates the worst that might come, hoping that these threats are nothing more than empty words. When they finally arrive at their destination, Jin glances over at Taehyung, still sound asleep. The alpha's face is relaxed, and the usual frown when he sleeps is gone too.

Jin takes a moment to appreciate the Taehyung's face before gently shaking him. "Voo? Wake up, we're here." His voice is soft, almost a whisper. Taehyung stirs immediately, rubbing his eyes as he wakes.

"I'm up," he mumbles, stretching slightly. "You go up first; I'll join you in a bit." His voice is groggy.

"No, get up right now and come with me," Jin asserts, adjusting Taehyung's car seat. "Get up already."

Taehyung groans, his eyes fluttering open as he realizes they're not at the apartment building. "Follow me," Jin says as he steps out of the car, shutting the door behind him with a click. Taehyung quickly fixes himself and follows suit.

Walking side by side, they make their way through the quiet morning until they reach Jin's parents' grave. Both of them bow their heads to pay their respects.

"Eomma and Dad," Jin begins, his voice steady, "this is Taehyung, my mate. You've heard of him before, and those weren't nice things. But I've decided to forgive him after his efforts proved that he deserves it. So I want to introduce my Alpha to you both, and hopefully, you can forgive him too and watch over us."

Taehyung's heart races, the words from Jin's mouth echoing in his mind. He hadn't expected this to happen when they left his parents' house. Jin nudges his arm gently, signaling him to speak.

Swallowing hard, Taehyung begins, "I know I've made your son cry a lot and upset you both as well, and for that, I'm really sorry." His voice trembles as he kneels down. "I really, really do love your son and hope to make him the happiest person alive. I promise you both I'll always put him before myself, make sure he has everything he needs, and give him a comfortable life. I will never make him worry or cry. Please, give me a chance to prove myself, to be by Seokjin's side as a reliable mate."

By the end of it, tears stream down his face, his fists clenched tightly. "I can't apologize enough for what I've done, for breaking his heart," he whispers, eyes squeezed shut in shame.

Jin kneels down beside Taehyung, wrapping him in his embrace. "I love you, Taehyung. I love you so much," he murmurs. "And I forgive you, so we can finally move on."

He gently rubs his hands up and down Taehyung's back, trying to comfort him. "I love you too, I love you so much," Taehyung hiccups through his tears. "Thank you for giving me another chance, for forgiving me."

Jin kisses the nape of Taehyung's neck tenderly. "I love you so much," Taehyung whispers against Jin's chest.

Jin pulls away slightly, using his thumbs to wipe the tears from Taehyung's face. "I love you so much as well, so let's stop crying now. And I know my parents forgive you too," Jin says with a soft smile, holding Taehyung's face in his palms. "Because you make me the happiest person alive."

Taehyung nods and hugs Jin tightly. "Thank you so much for this, for loving me."

On the drive back from the graveyard, Jin lets Taehyung take the driver's seat. Now it's his turn to rest. As he drifts off, the last thing he remembers is Taehyung's song playing on the radio. The next time he opens his eyes, he's in his room, cradled in Taehyung's arms, his head resting comfortably on Taehyung's shoulder.

"What a sight to wake up to, right?" Taehyung teases, a smirk plastered on his face.

Jin sits up quickly, his cheeks flushing slightly. "Yeah, an awful sight. For a moment, I thought my heart stopped beating," he answers, trying to compose himself.

Taehyung laughs softly, pulling Jin back by his arm. "Are you really going to be like this now? After telling me you love me?"

Jin looks into Taehyung's eyes, a smile spreading across his face. "When you really should be doing something else?" Taehyung adds, his voice low.

"Pervert," Jin says, trying to pull away from Taehyung. "Why is that the first thought in your head? I think you're the pervert."

Taehyung grins, flipping Jin beneath him easily. "That's not what I meant. I need to take a bath. Get off me."

Taehyung's eyes sparkle as he looks down at Jin. "Let's take one together then."

"Taehyung, stop. No. I'm tired, and it's still daytime."

"Do we really have to wait till night?" Taehyung whines. "How about a kiss? Let's settle on that for now. Also I have a show tomorrow. I can't be limping on stage."

"Okay, fair deal," Taehyung concedes, a small smile playing on his lips.

Taehyung pauses for a moment before leaning down and kissing Jin deeply. The kiss is soft at first but quickly becomes more desperate. "I think making out is better than just a kiss." Taehyung murmurs between kisses.

Jin's hands find their way to Taehyung's hair, pulling him closer as their lips move together in perfect sync. Taehyung's hand slips under Jin's shirt, fingers tracing his bare skin, sending shivers down his spine.

Jin gasps, the sound swallowed by Taehyung's mouth as the kiss deepens. Taehyung's lips trail from Jin's mouth to his jaw, then to his neck. Jin arches his back, pressing closer to Taehyung, his breath coming in short, ragged gasps as he grinds against Taehyung's thighs, closing his eyes shut as he throws his head back.

Taehyung's hand roams further, exploring Jin's body. Jin's own hands are also wrapped around Taehyung's back as he pulls the alpha closer, naiks digging into Taehyung's skin.

Taehyung pulls back slightly, his lips hovering just above Jin's, their breaths mingling. "I love you," he whispers.

"I love you too," Jin replies out of breath, "But we really need to stop before this escalates into something more."

Taehyung chuckles, giving Jin one last, kiss before pulling away. "Alright, but this isn't over," he says with a wink.

Jin smiles, his heart pounding in his chest. "Not by a long shot."
