love me now, touch me now, just let me love you

section 23 - even if it breaks down, oh better

Jimin sat in bed that night carefully writing lyrics for the next album, assessing each sentence and deciding if it was good enough or worth it to keep it or not. He scratched out another as Seulgi rolled over to face him, annoyed.

"Jimin, if you scratch something out so violently like that one more time....."

"What are you going to say? No doing it for a week?"

"Um, yeah. If you don't stop."

Jimin smirked, shaking his head as he looked down at her serious expression. "You wouldn't....." he trailed off, her expression remaining stoic.

"Yes, I would. Just take a break for the night and come lay with me," she begged, holding her arms out. "I'll cry if you don't give me love."

"I always give you love. Every second of every day."

Seulgi's eyes started to well up, and she sniffed, looking up at him.

His eyes widened as he put down his paper and pen with the book underneath, laying down with her. "Someone's PMSing." He smiled, then it faded as he watched her start to cry. "I'm joking, I'm joking. Come here," he said, pulling her to his chest. She laid her head on him, listening to his heartbeat.

"It's not just that, Jimin. It's that we've tried to have a baby now four times and still nothing. I just can't get over it," she sobbed, "I want to have a baby so badly. Please."

"I know. Let's just try again —"

"What difference will it make?" she interrupted, frustrated. "What is it now, fifth time is a charm?"

"Maybe," he said, kissing her head.

"I'm sorry."

"It's alright. I understand." He pulled away to look at her, then kissed her softly, letting go slowly and looking down.

"Jimin, stop staring at my boobs."

"Well why are you wearing something so low? Sorry....."

"Oh my....."

"I'm a man. Please excuse my natural tendencies to look there."

"Oh, stop, Jimin. Come here."

"If I stop staring there will you stop looking at me longingly?"

"I'm a woman, what do you expect?"

"See! There. Now we're even."

"Psh, whatever —"

"Just accept it. It's the same thing. Boobs for a guy equals junk or muscles or whatever for a girl."

"Well, you're not wrong."

Jimin laughed and pulled her to him, playing with her hair. "You're hilarious."

"No, you are."

"You love to argue with me."

"No I don't."

"Oh, really? Why do you keep disagreeing with me, then?"

"....."

"Exactly."

Jimin dropped his gym bag at the door and walked into the kitchen, grabbing a glass and pouring some water for himself. Just as he took a drink from it, Seulgi ran in excitedly, hugging Jimin and accidentally almost making him choke on his water.

He swallowed, surprised, and looking at her beaming face. "What, what is it, aein?"

"I knew I said I would wait until you were here..... but I couldn't, Jimin. I'm sorry, but....."

"What?" he asked, concerned. His eyebrows drew together and he held her arms, looking into her eyes.

"Jimin."

"What?! I'm scared!"

"No, don't be. It's good."

"Then say it!"

"Jimin, I'm pregnant!"

His heart swelled with happiness and a look of concern grew into a huge smile and he hugged her tight and kissed her over and over again.

"We're going to have a baby! Finally! We did it! I told you we would Seulgi, I told you!" He yelled of happiness and grabbed her face, kissing her repeatedly, she laughed, kissing his face all over. "We're going to have a baby. A baby of our own, to name and to love and raise and teach and care for and worry about. A baby." He giggled adorably and Seulgi kissed him, beaming.

"Baby Park is on the way here and will be born in nine months from now. Omo," Seulgi blabbered on, covering her mouth and jumping up and down. She grabbed his hands and looked at him, her eyebrows turned up in disbelief. "Jimin I never thought this would be possible I never thought I would be this happy or marry you or have babies with you but we are and I'm so. Happy!"

Jimin laughed, nodding quickly and kissing her belly, hugging her around her waist. "Thank you, God," he said, his eye smile taking it's full, true form as he squeezed his Seulgi tight.
