Jimin's POV
(May 30th, 2016)

(during the practice)
This entire time practicing, we haven't even said a word to each other.  The room is filled with this weird awkward vibe, that couldn't be broken even if I tried. I cant stop thinking about that question he asked me a while ago! Exactly how caught off guard I was back then, is finally starting to sink in, right now of all times. Perfect, Jimin, just perfect.

I keep trying to glance in his direction, but every time I do, I always screw up the routine. His glistening skin is so distracting to me.

And before I even realized, we were already wrapping up the last parts of our work out.

This is it.
Now is the time I tell him!
Everything I've prepared for since... yesterday.. has all come down to this.

We're sitting against the walls. The exact same situation we were in that last night we were together.

I still remember how awkward that was..

"Hyung, what are your actual feelings towards me? Be completely honest."

"..."

a long period of silence passed before a single peep could be heard out of my mouth.

'Holy shit. Its happening again?! More importantly, what do I say?!' I panic in my mind.

'Think Park Jimin, think!'
I feel him staring at my face as sweat rolls down my cheek.

Slowly turning to him, I spoke.
"Hyung thinks Jungkook is a really good person. You're always here for me when I need you, and I'm really grateful for that." My heart racing.

He smiled and stood up "let's continue practicing then."

--------

Now isn't the time to think about that Park Jimin! He's here now in front of you don't waste this opportunity!

I take a deep breath.

"Junkook-ah, why do you keep asking that question?" I muster up all my courage.

"I was just.. curious." He focuses on the hard wood floor, then glances at me. Ugh, those eyes give me goosebumps.

"Well, W-what are your feelings towards hyung?" I mentally punch myself for stuttering.

"..."

I guess he's thinking.

"..."

I can't take it anymore!

Just as I'm about to tell him that he doesn't have to answer if he doesn't want to, he cuts me off.

"I like hyung." He says awkwardly, tilting his head to the side.

What!? That could mean so many things! Does he mean like a brother, or as a love interest. We'll never know!

"I want to stay be your side, always."

Oh my God. Is this real? Did he actually just say that?

I pinch myself to make sure.

"Why are you pinching yourself?"
He says grinning.

At that moment. I couldn't hold back the tears threatening to overflow. It just happened so quickly.

"Ah! Why are you crying?"
Jungkook says panicking, grabbing my shoulders.

I look into his eyes, not even being able to open my mouth, let alone say anything. I pull him into a hug never wanting to let go.

'Jungkook is finally mine'

There it is. That amazing feeling again. The one that starts from the pit my stomach, travels through my ribcage in an array of the most beautiful butterflies, then dives into my heart and drives me insane, but in a good way I guess.. I had no doubt, I knew this was right.

This is how Park Jimin was meant to feel and this is where I belong! In Jeon Jungkook's arms.

I don't even remember how long we stayed in that position, but I loved every second of it. His touch was so rejuvenating to my body, it sent chills down my spine every time he ran his fingers over my back, in an act of comfort. I silently cried into his chest.

"Don't worry, you have me now."
He whispers as he kissed my forehead.

He's so mature.

-------

This is another one of those days where we spend our night hanging out in his room. Playing video games, eating, cuddling while we watch movies, you know, cute couple activities.

I never thought I would get to say that kind of thing, especially about Jeon Jungkook himself! I still pinch myself sometimes just to make sure this isn't a cruel joke played by my mind.

Most of all, I'm glad that it's easy for me to talk to him now. If we stayed in that awkward phase for any longer, I don't know what I'd do. Thinking about what would have happened if I never broke out of my comfort zone and said "Why do you keep asking that question?" We might have never made up, never talked the same. It makes me feel so grateful. That this time, instead of just thinking about what I could have done or what I could've said, I actually did it. Like that time at school when that girl insulted you again, and instead of walking away, you punched her in the face? That's what this feels like. (referencing what he said in chapter 1)

But this is the best I've ever felt in a really long time. I suddenly finally feel glad I joined the group, because although the last few years have been hard, I met Jungkook and I feel like that changed everything.

We never made it official. But you can tell by his words and his actions that he feels the same way. I don't think we're ever going to tell anyone, not the members, or the fans. It'll be our little secret.
