Yoongi's pov

I lay in bed, holding jimin close to my chest. My mind is filled with the images of our day- the way jimin's face lit up when we watched the sunset together, the feel of jimin's hand in mine as we walk to the restaurant, the sound of jimin's laughter when we joked around.

I smiled to myself feeling a warm feeling spread through my chest, I am falling deeper for this boy in my arms but I still don't know if he feels the same.

I looked at jimin's face,who is sleeping peacefully. Taking in his features the curve of his nose,the pout of his lips and the small flutter of his eyelashes on his cheeks.

Next day we went to airport. We are waiting to board the flight back to home korea. I looked at jimin he is lost in his thoughts, looking at something in distance.

I can't help but feel a pang of sadness and longing, knowing our trip together is coming to an end. I wonder if things will change once we reached home, if the intimacy we shared on this trip will remain or vanish away like a beautiful dream.

As we board the plane and find our seats, I sat next to jimin. I glanced at him he seems to be lost in thoughts. I wonder if I should say something but choose to remain silent.

As the plane takes of I find myself looking at jimin again, noticing the way he look out of window lost in thoughts. I can't shake of the feeling that something is on his mind. I wonder if it's about going back home or something else.

Finally unable to bear the silence anymore I asked him "Hey... is everything okay?" My voice gentle as I speak.

He looked at me a little startled and shrugged "Yeah I am fine" he said with a small smile.

I looked at him still not convinced "Are you sure? You have been quite since we left the hotel."

He hesitated for a moment before letting out a small sigh " I am just nervous about returning home"

I nodded in understanding that going back to your daily life leaving a carefree time behind is difficult. "It's normal to feel like that" I said putting a reassuring hand on his knee. I feel his body relax a bit with my touch.

He nods " Yeah I just.... Don't want the things to change once we return back." He admitted his voice quieter.

My heart clenched at his words, I know exactly what he meant by that but i am not sure how to response. I also don't want things to change either. I don't want to lose the closeness we have developed during this trip but I am afraid to cross the boundaries.

"I understand" it was the only thing I could say, giving his knee a light squeeze. I am not sure if I should say more, if I should tell my feelings. I don't want to confess when I don't know his feelings and make things awkward between us.

We fall into silence after that. I steal glances at jimin try to find out what he is thinking but his expression remains neutral.

Sensing the tension in air is suggest " Hey wanna watch a movie? It will help in passing the time and might cheer you up."

He looked at me "yeah that sounds perfect" He agreed a a small smile on his lips.

I relaxed a bit seeing that jimin is a little cheerful now. I turned on the entertainment screen of seat browsing through the list of movies. After a few mins I saw a movie which sound promising "Hey what about this one?" I asked pointing at the screen.

I saw as he reads the description "Yeah it's sound fun let's watch this one" I nodded as he agreed and play the movie. I leaned back enjoying the comfortable silence as the movie starts.

As the movie progress, I steal glances at jimin happy to he that he seems to enjoying the movie. He laughed at the funnier scenes and gasp at the dramatic one his expression light and relaxed.

I find myself looking at jimin more then the movie itself, enjoying watching his expression and reactions. The tension from before seem to disappears and replaced by a familiar comfort.

The rest of the flight passes by quickly with us laughing and commenting on the movie. Before we know the caption announces that we are landing in korea.

As the plane touches the ground, we removed our headphones and start gathering our belongings. I glanced at jimin seeing him more relaxed and cheerful then before.

"That was a good movie" I said trying to keep the conversation light hearted.

He nods with a small smile " Yeah it was a good one, atleast got my mind off from things." He said stretching in his seat. I smiled back seeing jimin is in a better mood now. As the plane comes to a stop we gathered our things and got ready to exit the plane.

As we step outside the airport we are welcome by the familiar feel and scent of korea. We hailed a taxi. I saw jimin looking out of window looking at the familiar buildings. I took his hand in mine. He looked at me smiling before resuming looking outside.

We reached home "home sweet home" jimin said looking around the living room taking in the familiar setting.

TIME SKIP

it's been a week since our trip to Greece
We have grown close but we still sleep separately. I feel longing and emptiness in my chest. I want to hold him as we sleep and see his face the first thing in morning.

He told me to get ready saying we are going out, he said he want me to meet someone.

We walk side by side laughing and talking as we made our way to the restaurant he mentioned.

After few mins we arrived at a small, cozy looking restaurant. Jimin lead us inside and immediately spotted a elderly lady behind the counter.

"Grandma" jimin calls his face lighting up with excitement. He went to the counter bowing respectfully to the old lady who exclaimed "jimin-ah you are back"

She comes forward and embrace jimin who hugged her back "How was your trip? You look sunburnt, my dear" She said patting his cheeks.

He pulled out of the embrace "it was fun grandma, I will tell you everything"  I was watching them with amusement, enjoying their interaction.

He then turned to me " Grandma he is my husband, yoongi" He said gesturing towards me. I bowed respectfully to the old lady.

She looked at me "Ah, you are my jiminie's husband" She nodded approving " You better not hurt my grandson, you heard me?"

I chuckled at her protective nature towards jimin. "I will take proper care of him, Grandma." I response, my voice sincere.

She nods seemingly satisfied with my response. " Good" She said, then turned to jimin " sit down,sit down, I will make your favorite food."

Jimin lead me to a table near the window "You will love her cooking" he said excitedly.

"Can't wait to try it"

And he was not lying, her cooking is delicious. Grandma come to our table sitting beside jimin. They both talk with such familiarity and connection that I feel a little jealous, not of Grandma but the bond they share, I want to be someone jimin is that much comfortable and trusting with.

We bid our farewell to grandma.
