Healing Hearts

Part 12

Y/n slept in Jimin's arm, so he placed her in bed and came back to Jungkook who was sitting in the living room. 

Jungkook: (looking up, eyes filled with guilt and worry) Hyung, I killed him in front of Noona. She saw the blood... how much she must be suffering because of me.

Jimin: (patting Jungkook's back, speaking with understanding) It's okay, Jungkook. She is your sister, and it was an obvious reaction. You were protecting her. She won't be mad at you.

Jungkook: (voice trembling) But hyung, I couldn't save her from seeing that. I feel like I failed her.

Jimin: (firmly but gently) No, Jungkook. You saved her. She knows that. Let's just take it one day at a time. We'll all be here for each other. Let's take a little rest for now.

Scene: Next morning

Y/n: (waking up and feeling a bit disoriented, walking downstairs) Jimin, are you leaving right now?

Jimin: (turns around, smiling gently) How are you feeling now? (hugs Y/n warmly)

Y/n: (snuggles into Jimin's embrace, feeling a mix of comfort and lingering shock) A little better, but I'm still in shock about Jungkook's action. His eyes were blazing with anger; he looked so furious.

Jimin: (holding Y/n close, speaking softly) Y/n, he is still your bunny. He was just protecting you. Don't be harsh on him.

Y/n: (nodding slowly, feeling conflicted but understanding) I know, Jimin. It's just... seeing him like that was so intense. (pauses, looking up at Jimin) Please stay with us for a few days until I recover from all this.

Jimin: (smiling reassuringly, stroking Y/n's hair) Of course, I'll stay. We'll get through this together. (glances at Jungkook, who just woke up and was sitting quietly on the couch)

Y/n: (turns to see Jungkook sitting on the couch, runs to him and hugs him tight, voice breaking and teary-eyed) You grew up, Jungkook. I was the one who always protected you and today you saved me. I love you so much, my Bunny.

Jungkook: (smiles, hugging her back) I love you too, Noona, and it was my responsibility to protect you. And please don't cry, it shatters my heart. Come, let's go to your favorite cafe and have your favorite coffee.

Scene: At Y/n's favorite cafe

Everyone freshens up and goes to Y/n's favorite cafe. They have their coffee and come back home.

Jungkook: (standing up) I need to go to the studio for some recording stuff.

Jimin: (nodding) I'll drop you off on the way. (turns to Y/n) I'll be back soon.

Jimin drops Jungkook at the studio and returns to Y/n.

Scene: Y/n's house

Y/n: (heading to her room, Jimin following her)

Y/n: (standing in front of the dressing table, Jimin back hugs her)

Jimin: (softly) Y/n, both of us like each other and I still haven't proposed to you to be my girlfriend, but not a single moment with you feels like we are not in a relationship.

Y/n: (lost in Jimin's eyes and voice, staring at him through the mirror, speechless)

Jimin: (after a few moments, breaking the eye contact) Come, let's cook something together.

Scene: Y/n's Kitchen

Y/n: (smiling softly, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness) What should we cook, Jimin?

Jimin: (grinning, rolling up his sleeves) How about something simple and comforting? Maybe pasta?

Y/n: (nodding) That sounds perfect. Let's do it!

They start gathering ingredients from the pantry and fridge. Y/n chops vegetables while Jimin boils the pasta. The kitchen fills with the aroma of fresh ingredients and the sound of their laughter.

Jimin: (playfully) Hey, don't chop your fingers off! We need those for your beautiful paintings and writing.

Y/n: (giggling) Don't worry, I'm a pro at this. (pauses, looking at Jimin) Thank you for being here, Jimin. It means a lot.

Jimin: (smiling warmly) Always, Y/n. We're in this together.

They continue cooking, working seamlessly as a team. Jimin stirs the sauce while Y/n adds spices, tasting and adjusting the flavors.

Y/n: (tasting the sauce) Mmm, this is delicious! You're a great cook, Jimin. Come taste it.

Jimin kisses the corner of Y/n's lips.

Y/n (hitting him playfully): Stop it...

Jimin: (laughing) Only because I have the best sous-chef. (winks) And you were the one who told me to taste.

Just as they finish cooking, they hear the front door open. Jungkook walks in, looking a bit tired but happy to see them.

Jungkook: (smiling) Something smells amazing in here!

Y/n: (beaming) Jungkook! You're just in time. We made pasta. Come join us!

Jungkook: (walking over, hugging Y/n and Jimin) You two are the best. I could use a good meal after all that recording.

They set the table and sit down to eat together, enjoying the food and each other's company. The atmosphere is warm and filled with love and laughter.

Jimin: (raising his glass) To family, and to always being there for each other.

Y/n: (clinking glasses) To family.

Jungkook: (smiling) To family.

They eat, talk, and share stories, feeling grateful for the bond they share and the strength they find in each other.
