Before It's Too Late | Yoonmin

Chapter 19

Yoongi POV

Looking over at the younger with a small pout, I'm surprised as he bursts into sobs all over again. I don't know how the hell one person can cry so much, but it breaks my heart as I reach out and wrap my arms around him. He leans into my side almost instantly, latching his arms around my waist as he buries his face into my chest. Feeling the pain of his own heart seemingly broken, I find myself tearing up once more as well.

"Please, Yoongi. Please don't leave me ever again. I thought I fucking lost you for good. Please, I'm so sorry. I'll be better for you, I'll do better. Anything to make you stay, hyung. Please, I can't do this without you. Nothing was the same. I'm so sorry, hyung. I should've told you sooner. I should've fucking told you sooner." Jimin sobs quietly, his voice cracking as he whimpers. I squeeze my eyes shut tightly as the tears begin falling, holding Jimin as tightly as possible right now, wishing I hadn't caused him so much pain.

"Told me what, Jiminie?" I quietly softly, scared of what he's going to say, feeling like I've missed something. He falls quiet as this, pulling away gently just enough so that he can look me in the eyes.

"You said-... The letter you left. I... I love you too, Yoongi." Jimin shines in attempt to explain. My eyes widen at his confession though, not having expected anything like this. Not having expected that he would ever actually feel the same.

"You... what?" I fumble, not fully comprehending the fact that the one person I've loved in secret for the last three years now has actually felt the same. He giggles in response though, seeming to enjoy my stunned little reaction as his eyes light up.

"I love you, Yoongi. I... Fuck, I missed you so much. I never thought I was gonna have the chance to tell you. I thought I lost you forever." Jimin answers, a small happy smile on his lips, running a hand through his hair halfway through.

Not knowing what else to do, I lean over, quickly connecting our lips. I feel him freeze for half a second in surprise, soft plump lips molding to mine immediately after. Feeling a tingling sensation spreading throughout my entire body, our lips slowly begin to move together in the most sensual way possible. I can hardly believe any of this is happening, reaching up and placing my hand gently on his cheek as he does the same. I don't hesitate in letting myself nuzzle my head into his touch just a little, not wanting to break the kiss despite how much I'm running out of air.

However, all good things must end eventually, the two of us finally pulling away just a little. I keep my head nuzzled against his hand, but lean my forehead to rest against his as I smile up at him. I giggle softly, feeling shy over the caring and loving look in his eyes.

"Jiminie." I giggle shyly, not knowing how to ac or feel with all of the love that's just radiating off of him at the moment. He smiles though, rubbing the pad of his thumb over my cheek gently as he leans down and pecks my lips gently.

"What, hyung?" Jimin asks, a light teasing tone to his voice as he continues to smile at me. I whine with my usual pout, pulling away from him completely before hiding my face in the crook of his neck.

"What's got you all shy all of a sudden, Yoongi?" Jimin coos softly, rubbing my back gently as I curl up into him. I whimper quietly, wishing I knew how to properly explain myself.

"Sorry, I couldn't help myself." I mumble quietly, not really knowing what else to say right now. He chuckles softly though, kissing the top of my head.

"You don't need to apologize for anything, hyung. You have no idea how long I've been dying for that to happen. I just... I wish it didn't have to be here with you stuck in a hospital bed." Jimin murmurs lightly, still smiling. I pout as I pull away once more, feeling bad that I've caused him all this pain and worry.

"I'm sorry, Jiminie. I really didn't want to hurt you so much..." I whisper quietly, feeling ashamed of myself for what I did to him. He just smiles though, shaking his head before leaning in and pecking my lips once more.

"You don't need to apologize, Yoongi. I understand why you tried to leave. I'm just sorry I couldn't be there for you more and support you better. I'm sorry I never told you how I felt either. I just... I never thought you'd feel the same."
