Call Me Again | JinMin

Forty Nine

POV: Jin
"Why does Jimin call you auntie, then?" I asked, after dinner. "if you're so young, why does he act as if you're super old?"

"Argh, I don't know, Jin," she looked at Jimin with a pretend angry face. "I'm your Noona, Jimin! Call me Noona!"

He simply nodded, trying to hold back his laugh. He held my hand from under the table, but psychic Noona, as I like to call her, knew what we were doing.

"Get a room, you two!" she swatted us with her hand, pretending to slap us. "I can see you!"

She really is Psychic Noona.

I glanced over at the calendar they had in their dining room, reminding me of something important.

"Hey, it's Jimin's birthday soon, isn't it?" I stroked his hand softly, making him giggle ever so slightly. "We should do something special for his eighteenth, don't you think, Noona?" I raised my eyebrow, making Jimin shake his head frantically in disagreement.

"Yeah, Jin, that's a great idea!" she exclaimed, getting some pen and paper out. "What should we do? You're going to be an adult! Aren't you so excited?"

"And then, you can join us for the adult things we do!" I laughed, nudging him. "I don't want to be eighteen on my own, you know, you've gotta join me sometime, you can't stay seventeen forever."

He snatched a piece of paper off Jihyo, writing down something before showing it to us.

"Come on, you have to do something special for your birthday, okay?" I said, sweetly. "Should I tell you something?"

He nodded hesitantly, unsure of what I was going to say. I thought back to when I first met him, on that special day, not just because I met him, but because of something else as well, even though nobody remembered.

"Jimin... I met you on my birthday, did you know that?" I croaked out, making his jaw drop in surprise. I smiled gently, as he pulled me in for a sympathetic hug.

Why didn't you tell me that?

"I didn't need to," I replied. "it doesn't matter- nobody ever remembers, anyway," I shrugged. "It didn't bother me; I think you were my eighteenth birthday present."

He pulled me in closer, nearly suffocating me, giving me a soft kiss on the lips. It wasn't rough, or a suggestive kiss, but it was soft, gentle, sweet.

"I love you," he whispered into my ear, every syllable tickling my ear as he giggled, pecking me on the earlobe to finish it off.

"I love you more, you know that," he nodded, pulling away slowly, looking straight into my eyes.

Jihyo Noona was kind of just sitting there, pretending to mind her own business, when I could see some teardrops around her eyes as she looked up, sniffing, but smiling.

"Seeing all of this makes me want my old boyfriend back," she laughed through her tears, as Jimin gave her a hug so she could cry it out. "I miss him, you know..."

I picked up her phone that was lying on the table and handed it to her. "Call him." I said.

"You what?"

"I said, call him, somebody as sweet and kind as you should deserve somebody to love you," I told her. "So call him, and see what he says. I don't know why you two would've broken up, or what the situation was, but if you really love him, and he feels the same, you should take him back."

"You... really think so?" I nodded.

I didn't like seeing anybody, especially somebody like Jihyo, to break down because somebody had hurt her. "Call him," I repeated. "You deserve love."

She dialled his number, dismissing herself from the room quietly when he picked up her call.

"Let's hope it goes well," I squeezed Jimin's hand, as he nodded.

"So, have you decided whether you want to be a Kim like me, or you want me to join the Parks?" I asked him, thinking back to before.

"I'll be a Kim," he said casually. "I'd rather forget my dad's surname," he mumbled. "but mainly because I want to be yours forever 'cause I love you."

I let him rest his head on my lap, as I stroked his hair, like we did the first time we confessed our love to each other, on that one Wednesday, in this very house.

"Do you remember when we first had special time?" Jimin whispered. "It started off gentle like this, didn't it?" he had remembered everything too, making me smile. "When you first told me you had feelings for me, and I said that I liked you back."

"You always denied it," I said. "I remember every last bit of that night. I also remember when I sneaked into your house at midnight."

I laughed, stroking the nape of his neck slowly. "And that other time when we bathed together, and we nearly broke the shower, and that time whe-" he put his finger to my lips to stop me from rambling.

"You remember everything."

"I do, don't I?" I laughed, giving him a kiss on the lips, before Jihyo came back with a bright smile on her face, giving us a thumbs up. "So, what happened, Noona?"

"Apparently he thought that I got bored of him, the little pabo," she frowned. "How could he have thought that? But, anyway, it's all good now," she smiled. "So I owe you thanks, you give good advice."

"Haha, it's okay," I gave her a thumbs up back. "If you don't mind me asking, who is this boyfriend of yours, Noona?"

"Lee Sunggyu, he teaches English at a local school, why? Do you know him, maybe?"

"My old English teacher..." my eyes widened. "Uhm, we had a one tim- actually, it's fine, he was a nice teacher, just tell him I say hi," I fake smiled, showing my teeth.

We had a one time fling three years ago when I started questioning myself, but I didn't know whether he had a girlfriend or not- turns out he did. However, the past was the past so I didn't want to upset Jihyo like that.

"Oh, really? He used to teach you? I'll be sure to tell him you said hello, okay?" she smiled, walking out of the room.

"Now, where we were upto?"
I asked Jimin, stroking his hair again.

"I was saying that you remember everything,"
