Growing Secrets | Park Jimin

Chapter 7

Tori felt more comfortable around Jimin as time went on. Jimin seemed to feel the same way. It started to feel like how it was before she left except for anything romantic. She still didn't know how she felt or how she wanted to be with Jimin.

She knew she still loved him but it was different now. After having Min Jun she had to become more responsible and grow up, even if she was only 24 now. Whereas Jimin still acted like the 22 year old she left behind.

After Tori moved back to Jimin's apartment Jimin realised how much he did miss her. He missed her as a friend and as his girlfriend. He felt guilty for ever believing she would cheat on him and wished they could go back to the way they were.

Around a week after she moved back and them both becoming more comfortable with each other Jimin noticed how much he did love her and wanted her back.

Jimin wanted Tori like he had her before.

It was however going to be hard to be like how they were 4 years ago now that Min Jun was around. That wasn't the biggest problem though.

Every time Jimin would make any type of romantic advance towards Tori she would always get nervous and make up a reason to leave the room or go to bed.

Jimin was becoming distracted by the woman and had to try and distract himself from his feelings... and urges towards her.

He spent more time practicing, coming home later; to make sure he didn't do anything to make her feel uncomfortable. He didn't want her to leave again.

Tori however didn't notice how she was distracting him. She just thought he thought they would be back to normal after he listened to her, but it was far from it. They had to build up they relationship and hopefully, one day, would be back to where they once were.

She didn't realise that walking around the apartment in just a large T-shirt would distract Jimin as much as it did, that's why she never changed it.

It was a Tuesday night. Tori was on the couch messaging some family on her phone when Jimin came home.

Tori turn to see him, he looked absolutely exhausted.

"You're still awake?" Jimin said softly slowly walking into the apartment.

"Yeah my parents were asking about Min Jun" Tori said standing up from the couch and walking towards Jimin.

Jimin noticed she was only in a large T-shirt. He was starting to think this was a weakness; he liked seeing her bare legs.

Jimin stumbled slightly as he walked towards the hallway because he was exhausted but also because he was lost in thought about Tori.

"Are you okay?" Tori asked concerned, walking over to Jimin.

"I'm fine" Jimin said tiredly while continuing his walk to his bedroom, but stopped halfway looking back at Tori. "Tori?"

"Yeah" she replied and smiled lightly. She could see how tired he looked, if he didn't get to bed soon she thought he might fall asleep just by standing in the hallway.

"Will you sleep in my bed tonight?" Jimin asked softly, hoping his request wouldn't scare her off.

"I don't know Jimin" Tori answer, growing nervous at the thought of sleeping next to him, "I can help you get to bed because it looks like your about to pass out but I don't think I can stay."

Jimin understood and nodded his head, "Okay but yeah can you help me" he said chuckling lightly realising how exhausted her was.

Tori walked over and put his arm around her shoulders. She didn't feel awkward or uncomfortable, strangely she felt safe.
