As the golden rays of the morning sun streamed through the windows of the palace, Hera and Jungkook lay entwined in each other's arms, basking in the warmth of their newfound love.
Jungkook's fingers traced gentle patterns on Hera's back as they exchanged soft whispers, lost in the euphoria of their connection.
Hera sighed contentedly, feeling a sense of peace wash over her as she nestled closer to Jungkook. It felt surreal to finally be with him, to know that their love was no longer a secret hidden in the shadows.
Jungkook pressed a tender kiss to Hera's forehead, his eyes filled with adoration as he whispered,
"I never want to let you go, Hera. You're everything to me. I vow to be by your side under all circumstances. I vow to be your love interest, your husband, your friend.. Your everything."
Hera smiled up at him, her heart overflowing with love. "And you're everything to me, Jungkook.
I've never felt happier than I do in this moment."
Their peaceful reverie was interrupted by a knock on the door, and they exchanged a knowing glance before rising from the bed to greet their visitors.
As Jimin, Chaeyoung, and Taehyung entered the room, their eyes widened in surprise at the sight of Hera and Jungkook standing hand in hand, their smiles radiant with happiness.
"Surprise!" Hera exclaimed, her voice tinged with excitement. "Jungkook and I have something to tell you all."
The three friends exchanged curious glances before settling onto the couch, their attention focused on Hera and Jungkook.
With a shared smile, Hera and Jungkook stepped forward, their hands still intertwined as they shared the news of their relationship. Jimin's eyes widened in shock, his heart clenching with a mixture of emotions as he struggled to process the revelation.
"You're together?" Jimin asked, his voice barely above a whisper.
Hera nodded, her smile softening as she squeezed Jungkook's hand. "Yes, we are.
We've realized that our love is too strong to ignore any longer."Chaeyoung and Taehyung exchanged a glance, their expressions filled with happiness for their friends. "We're so happy for you both," Chaeyoung exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with joy.
Taehyung nodded in agreement, his smile widening. "You two make a beautiful couple. We couldn't be happier for you."
Despite their friends' warm wishes, Jimin's heart felt heavy with sadness. He had always harbored feelings for Hera, but seeing her with Jungkook stirred up a whirlwind of conflicting emotions within him.
As the conversation continued, Jimin found himself growing increasingly distant, his mind consumed by thoughts of Hera and Jungkook's blossoming romance.
He knew he needed time to come to terms with his feelings, to find a way to move forward despite the ache in his heart.
Hera noticed Jimin's subdued demeanor and reached out to him, her voice filled with concern.
"Jimin, are you okay? You seem distant."
Jimin forced a smile, his eyes betraying the pain hidden beneath the surface.
"I'm fine, Hera. Just processing everything."
"All it took me was just one glance to fall in love with you, Hera. But maybe you weren't written my destiny... I'll love you forever.."
Hera placed a comforting hand on Jimin's shoulder, her eyes filled with empathy.
"If you ever need someone to talk to, l'm here for you, Jimin. We all are."
Jimin nodded gratefully, his heart heavy with the weight of his unspoken emotions.
"Thank you, Hera. I appreciate it."
'How do I tell you Hera...? You're the someone I need, you're the light to my darkness. You make me wanna live, My Angel..I hope there's a universe where you're mine. Park Jimin's Angel'
As the day wore on, Jimin found himself lost in thought, unable to shake the feeling of heartache that lingered within him.
He knew he needed time and space to come to terms with his feelings, to find a way to move forward.
That evening, as the sun dipped below the horizon, Jimin made a decision. With a heavy heart, he. approached Hera and Jungkook, his voice filled with sadness as he spoke.
"I've made a decision," Jimin began, his gaze flickering between Hera and Jungkook.
"I think it's best for me to leave Aerith for now. I have responsibilities back home that I need to attend to, and I need some time and space to get over everything."
Hera's eyes filled with sympathy as she reached out to Jimin, her voice soft with understanding.
"| understand, Jimin. We'll miss you, but I want you to take all the time you need to heal."
Jungkook nodded in agreement, his expression somber.
"Take care of yourself, Jimin. We'll always be here for you, no matter what."
With a heavy heart, Jimin bid farewell to his friends, his footsteps echoing in the quiet corridors of the palace as he made his way towards the gates of Aerith.
As he stepped out into the cool night air, he knew that he was embarking on a journey of self-discovery, one that would ultimately lead him back to himself.
And as he disappeared into the darkness, Hera couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness at the loss of her friend. But she knew that Jimin needed this time to heal, to find peace within himself.
And she vowed to be there for him, whenever he was ready to return.
As she watched the stars twinkle in the night sky, Hera whispered a silent prayer for Jimin's happiness, hoping that he would find the peace and solace he so desperately sought.
And amidst the quiet serenity of the palace gardens, she found solace in the knowledge that no matter where life took them, their bond would always remain unbreakable.
"Falling In love is a nice feeling, isn't it?"
"Yes it is. As long as you are not falling alone"
