His Sanctuary [Jikook]

Chapter 42

TAEHYUNG'S POV

This house has gotten tired of my presence now. I remember when I hardly spent time here, I'd mostly go out clubbing, go and visit my ex-boyfriend, Hobi.. and sometimes go and visit Yoongi. Life was fun back then, before I came crashing down from my high. After what I did, breaking two guy's hearts at once, I haven't been the same. Not that anyone is to blame for it. It just hurts that I lost both the guys I cared about, and none of them are interested in me now. It hurts so much.

The buzzing of my phone on the dressing table gets me out of my train of thoughts, I walk to it while putting on my necklace. As I look at it, my eyes land on Jimin's message. He's letting me know that he'll arrive at the cafe in a short while. He had asked to meet me because he missed me and he had something to tell me.

"I'm such a terrible friend." I mumble to myself. I've been so caught up in my stupid love life that sometimes I even forget to check on Jimin while he checks on me every day. He's such a beautiful soul who's been through a lot. I should always be there for him just like he is for me.

I grab my phone and exit. The cafe is just close to my house, so it'll just be a 3 minutes walk. Unlike Jimin, who had to get on a cab to get here.

The breeze outside is cool as it softly grazes my skin. The beautiful sunny weather, it's been a while since I was last outside. Even the people look beautiful. I get stares from guys like all the time, but I don't want their attention. I already have the only guys that make me happy. Too bad none of them want me now. It doesn't take long for me to arrive at the cafe, scanning inside, I spot Jimin waving at me at the corner. He looks so cute and small. It instantly makes me smile. My friend brings out the best in me.

"MINNIE!" I excitedly yell as I run to his table.

"TAE-BEAR!" He welcomes me with the same energy. His arms opened up for a warm hug. I throw myself to his petite body, and he holds me tightly, hugging and patting my back, too. He gives the best hugs ever.

"Why do I feel like I haven't seen you for years? Why are you so pale? What happened to your tanned skin? Taehyung, when last did you leave your house to go get some air and sunshine?" He bombards me with questions as we break the hug. I just sit down and laugh it off.

"Okay, one question at a time." I say.

"No, don't tell me that. Have I really been that bad of a friend? So self-centered that I didn't realize you were not okay? Is it the Hobi and Yoongi situation? That's why you're like this? Why didn't you talk to me? You brushed this thing off as if it never hurt you." He says, his voice sad and his face laced with a mix of concern and worry for me. I chuckle and shake my head.

"Jimin, stop. You're the most amazing friend anyone can have. I'm the one who just didn't want to talk about it. And...OHHHHH MY GOSH. WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT...."

My eyes are wide in disbelief as I look at Jimin's hand on the table. A ring blinds me, so shiny and perfectly polished. It fits his ring finger perfectly, and I gasp and look at him. His eyes give away the whole story as a small blush creeps up his cheeks.

"Park Jimin... is that what I think it is?" I ask, already smiling wildly as I can feel excitement filling me up.

"Uhm... well, hehe... what do you think it is?" He asks, blushing and tucking his hair behind his ear while he looks at his beautiful ring.

"He proposed?" I asked.

"And I said yes." He replies while clapping his hands excitedly. The same excitement overtakes me, and we both scream at the same time, clapping our hands simultaneously and not even caring that everyone's eyes were on us.
