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

section 24 - please, pull me in and hug me

"Babe, selca before the show."

"Oo, yeah!" Seulgi agreed, leaning into Jimin and smiling. He snapped a couple pictures on his phone, and she grabbed his hand, saying, "Wait! Let's do a little kissy one," she laughed, and he blushed.

"What is that supposed to mean?" he laughed knowingly, and she smiled, lacing her arms around his arm.

"You know what I mean, Jimin. Let's kiss each other and take a selca like that, too. Come on, kiss me, shy boy. You know you want to."

They both giggled and he held his phone out far enough to capture the kiss with a quick snap of a picture, but he held on, lowering his phone and setting it beside him and using that hand to take her face in his. He kissed her for another second, and as he let go slowly, he gazed at her directly in the eyes, his expression like he wanted to explain something pressing. "Seulgi-ah. Please be sure to keep an eye out for creeps. And I really wish they wouldn't have put you in that skirt tonight. You're beautiful and even though you do have a great body I wish they wouldn't have chosen to show it off like this. I'm just a little worried. Pull it down if it rides up, and —"

Seulgi took his face in her hands, looking back at him. "It's okay, baby boy, I'll be fine. Thank you so much. I will. I'll pull it down, I'll make sure no one's staring..... and isn't it good for you that my skirt's short, though?" she joked, and he smiled a little.

"It's for my eyes only, and nobody else's."

"Uh-huh."

"Alright, get out of my sight before I rip it off of you."

"Jimin!"

Jimin giggled, throwing his head back in laughter. "I mean like change it to something more appropriate....."

"No you don't. Very funny....." Seulgi grinned as she stepped out of the car and met her unnies outside. "See you there. Oh, and after, of course."

"Oh, yeah. I have some good stuff planned for afterwards. To celebrate, sort of. If we win anything. Well, even if we don't, I guess."

"Park Jimin, you naughty boy....."

He smiled, and all of the girls giggled cutely, glancing at each other. "What, cutie? You're hilarious. I mean we have ice cream to celebrate....."

"Bye, Chim Chim," she dismissed him, trying to hide her smile as she shut the car door. He giggled to himself as the driver pulled forward, ready to drop him of with his hyungs farther ahead.

She was the cutest, and he hoped the awards show would go well.

Jimin sat with his hands clasped on his knees, his back straight up and his legs crossed regally as he watched Seulgi's skirt disapprovingly up on stage, seeing her dance in them and they began to look shorter and shorter as she moved. He held back a cringe and kept a straight face, but he couldn't help his eyes narrowing more and more as he prayed to God no one would be able to see her underwear or anything. He sighed, and Taehyung hit him, laughing a little. "It's alright," his deep voice said, "I know what you're thinking. I was thinking the same about Joohyun, but don't worry. They'll be fine."

"They won't be fine from other guys staring at them," Jimin hissed back, annoyed with the whole situation.

"Jimin, guys stare at them no matter what. It's annoying, but they are beautiful. We're lucky and they're just jealous," he stared matter-of-factly, sitting back again to focus on the performance.

Jimin thought about what he had said.

He was right, but guys staring at his wife never ceased to frustrate him to no end.

Mine, he thought as he tried to relax a little, still keeping his eye on her. My precious wife, my beautiful girl.

As soon as BangtanVelvet came all back together in the back room, Jimin ran up to Seulgi and closed in on her from the back, holding her from behind. He rubbed her lower stomach, kissing her ear and then her cheek. "Finally, no one can look at you anymore except for me." She laughed and so did he, shifting around to the front of her and tucking her hair back, kissing her. "You did awesome."

"Jimin! Thank you! You did amazing, there's no doubt about that. I'm so proud of you. I love you, Kimchi." Seulgi took his face and kissed him again, pulling him closer.

"I love you." He collapsed on the couch, pulling her down to sit in his lap, and he let out a heavy sigh. "Thank God you just got pregnant or else everyone would know."

"I know. But I'm a month or so I'll start showing. I'll definitely have to start wearing loose sweaters and crew necks and things."

"You know, I put that baby there."

Seulgi laughed, rubbing his cheek. "You are so funny. I know you did. You should be proud of yourself."

He smiled and exhaled proudly, his arms crossed behind his head. "I am. We made a baby. That's crazy! Isn't it?"

"Yeah, it is!" Seulgi smiled and reached behind to take his hand in hers, lacing his fingers around his.

"Let's go home. I'm ready."

"Me too, Mochi. Come on."

They stood up, Jimin walking over to the door lazily and hanging onto her. "When we get home, I want to cuddle with you, okay? Is that alright?"

"Aw, Chimmy! Of course it is! Come on, the faster you move the quicker we can get there and do so."

"And....."

"Uh-huh. You don't have to mention it."

He giggled, his adorable little hee-hee laugh escaping his mouth, and she beamed, slowing down and turning to kiss his nose. "You're adorable."

"No, you are."

"You are."

"Well maybe we both are. There, is that fair?"

"Omo, Jimin....."

"What?" He laughed.

"You're crazy," she smiled.

"I know."
