HYEJIN

We walked to a little park a few minutes down the road. Noah ran straight to the swings and Jimin put him in a swing and started pushing him while I sat on a bench, smiling like an idiot. My heart melted watching both of them kill me with their little eye smiles. Noah wanted to run around and play and Jimin went along with it until Noah came for me, making me chase him too. Only 2 hours or so knowing and he was already the best dad I'd ever seen.

Noah grew tired and Jimin put Noah on his back and walked us across the field. His hand found mine and he held it tightly, pulling me into him. I gazed up at him and he looked at me too.

"Hyejin, do you still have feelings for me." He asked quietly, eyes turned towards the floor.

"I never lost them."

"Come home then."

"With you?"

"Why not?" he said smiling.

"Why not." I said smiling as his lips found mine. A soft kiss turned slightly passionate before we each pulled away for a breath. I leaned my head into his chest smelling a familiar cologne. He never failed to make me smile.

Jimin still lived in the same house so I easily found my way around. Jimin leant me an oversized t-shirt and some bed shorts that I had left here. My room was still there, untouched. I quickly took a shower and changed, enjoying the warm water and Jimin's invigorating shower gel which smelt faintly of mint. Once I finished, I poked my head into Jimin's room and saw him lying on the bed, with Noah next to him. Jimin sat there stroking Noah's head before spotting me. Instead of disturbing them, I left, heading downstairs and into the garden.

"Do you still feel 21." Jimin's voice muttered behind me.

"Yeah, I do" Jimin walked past me, sitting on the pool side, dangling his legs in despite having jeans on. He patted the spot next to him. Obediently I sat down next to him.

"Hyejin, I cut all ties with my Father and his lifestyle. I'm not part of his mafia anymore."

"It wouldn't matter to me anyway."

"When did you get so sappy." He teased, splashing me. I splashed him back and he splashed me harder, causing me to scream in laughter. He got up and I noticed his see-through shirt. I'd seen him shirtless many times but I still felt flustered. He got close to me before trying to push me in. I pushed him harder, causing him to lose balance and tumble into the water. A wave of water splashed me, causing my shirt to become slightly see-through too. Jimin bobbed up from the water and rid his soaked shirt. He wiggled his eyebrows. "The waters real nice" He smiled and his eyes made adorable lines.

"Really, should I test that?" Jimin nodded hopefully. I removed my shirt, keeping on my shorts and bra. It felt like a bikini. Jimin's jaw dropped. I laughed and put my legs into the water, splashing him to look away.

"You know Hyejin, I like you in my clothes, but I may like you without my clothes even more."

"Pervert" I giggled as he pulled me in and under the water. Under the surface, I closed my eyes tight and felt him pull me closer and put his lips on mine. After a few seconds I felt the cool air on my hair and Jimin's lips still on mine. We parted, foreheads against each other. We kept our eyes closed and he snaked his arms around my waist.

"Lee Hyejin." I opened my eyes as he opened his. The water reflected against his face and his brown eyes locked with mine. I put one of my hands into his dark, wet hair and the other on his waist, where the gunshot hit him. I could feel the scar tissue on the left side of his abdomen. It reminded me of that awful day. He was so perfect, inside and out. I glanced down but his hand under my chin forced my eyes back up. He placed my arms around his neck and looked at me with large eyes.

"Yes, Park Jimin?"

"Don't ever leave me again." He took something out of his soaked trouser pocket and slipped it onto my finger. My promise ring. 

He'd kept it?  

I looked up and our eyes locked for a second. I scanned his eyes, making sure this is what he wanted. He put his lips to mine for a few seconds confirming his feelings before I pulled away and put my lips to his jaw, under his ear and whispered softly,

"I won't."

Let's leave that at that shall we. I do not write smut. I am a good holy child of god. Haha joking but I'm not feeding your pervy needs. 

But yeah this chapter sucks a little but the final three are a little better. They are kinda like Epilogues.

I'm sorry that these ending chapters are so short but I don't want to cram them with irrelevant information.
