Chapter Twenty Eight

Jimin's POV

I stared at the brown envelope in front of me. I then look up at Mingyu.

He looks back at me.

"Your envelope is a big pocket one, mine is just a regular sized letter envelope," I said sadly. "You got in and I didn't."

"Don't say that, I'm sure there's an explanation." He says reassuringly. "You sure you still want me to open yours and you open mine?"

I nod. I pick up his big pocket envelope and grabs my small one.

"On three," he holds up 3 fingers. "One, two, three."

We tore into each others letters and pulled them out. We then read them carefully.

I slowly look up at him, "Mingyu..."

"Jimin..." he looks up from my letter. "You got in!"

"What?!"

"Wait tell me, did I get in?" Mingyu grabs my shoulders and stops me from celebrating early.

I nod a hundred times. "Mingyu, you got a scholarship!"

His eyes widen as his mouth curves up to the biggest smile I've ever seen. He pulls me into his chest and hugs me so tight I stopped breathing. "This is awesome! Hong Jimin were officially students of Korea University!" He exclaims still not letting me go.

I start tapping his back. "I... can't... breathe..."

"Me neither!" He hugs me tighter.

"Min... gyu... you... I... breath... ing..."

He then pulls away but holds on to my shoulders. "What?"

I started coughing, "you idiot I couldn't breathe!"

He scrunches his face, "oh, sorry."

He can be so slow and clueless sometimes... I stand up, "let's got tell Jia and Hansol. Those two are probably doing things they shouldn't be in our room." I put a finger in my mouth and pretended to gag.

He stands and follows me up the stairs.

Once we were at the top he says, "wait." He puts his hand in his pocket and takes it out again, but this time it was balled into a fist. "Guess."

"Just tell me," I fold my arms.

"Guess," he whines.

I rolls my eyes. "Give me a hint."

He smiles cheekily. "Christmas."

"It's in two weeks, isn't it a bit early to-"

He grabs my hand, spins me once and leans me backwards.

I put my arms around his neck so I wouldn't fall over but I sat conformably in his hold as he leaned over me.

He smirks as he eyes my lips then slowly puts his other arm up in the air revealing the mistletoe.

"This is not consensual."

His smirk disappears as he slowly stands up and lets go of me, "I am embarrassed."

I put a 'you should be' face on.

"I'm sorry I shouldn't uh I-" He starts to stutter. "I just thought... but obviously I was wrong... and uhm-"

"You're a cute idiot." I grab his neck and pull him into a kiss.

His smirk creeps back as he kisses me too.

We kissed til we were out of breath.

I was left panting in the end but I honestly wanted more.

"By the way," he breathes out. "I already asked Wonwoo if liking you was okay. He just said not to hurt you or he'll beat me to a pulp."

It was my turn to smirk. "Are you confessing right now?" I fold my arms.

"Yeah so?" The question doesn't phase him.

I slightly push him to the side and open Jia and I's room.

The couple was unexpectedly sitting on the floor playing snakes and ladders.

"Are you two 12?" I flopped onto my bed and Mingyu just leans on the door.

"Does it matter? I'm winning!" Hasol cheers.

Jia pouts. "You cheated!"

Hansol's mouth drops, "how do I cheat at snakes and ladders?!"

"Can I join?" Mingyu sits on the floor with them.

"Mingyu, the news..."

"Oh right, Jimin and I got accepted into Korea University." Mingyu says causally. "Now hurry up and finish I wanna play."

Hansol tackles Mingyu to the ground while Jia jumps onto my bed and hugs me.

"Why didn't you tell us right away?!" Jia exclaims. "This is amazing! Jimin I'm so proud of you!" She now had my hands in hers and was jumping up and down on my bed.

Meanwhile, Hansol and Mingyu were play fighting on the ground.

"Settle down before you break my bed!" I exclaim.

Jia sits and gives me another hug. "Seriously though, I am honestly, truely, so, so, so, proud of you."

I give her a smile. "Thanks Jia."

"And you too of course," Jia looks down at Mingyu who was now laying on the floor, panting.

He gives her a thumbs up.

Happiness. It's to mean it when you smile. It's to smile when you are content. Content is what I feel in this moment in time. For this moment is the happiest I had ever been.
