Them (BTS au)

Chapter 86

Zarion's POV

   I look at her hand before looking back at her.  "What's that on your finger?"  "A ring."  Oh.

"You're married?"  "No,"  She looks down at her hand as she continues to speak.  "It's Jimin's promise ring."  She says with a smile.

Oh.  "So you guys are pretty serious?"  I say, trying to hide the pain in my voice, but probably failing.

"Yeah, we are."  She says, smiling as her fingers toy with her ring, twiddling it.

"How long have you guys been together?"  "Months.  I know it's not much to some, but I love him.  Within those months is a genuine, mutual love."

My heart breaks.  She loves him.  She actually loves him, and they seem to have some foundation in their relationship.

"Oh....that's great,"  I say, looking down.  I look back at her, speaking again after a moment.  "So, how did you guys come to be?"

"Well, it all starts back to the first day of this school year.  I was in my first period.  The teacher told us to take out a writing utensil and some paper.  I was trying to follow his instruction, but that's when I realized I left my pencil bag at home.  I asked Jimin for a pen, and he gave it to me.  The teacher gave me detention for "talking" because I asked for a pen-"

"Wait a minute.  He gave you detention just for asking for a pen?"  He says with a "What the fuck" expression.

"Just.  For asking.  For a pen."  "That teacher's a dumbass."  "Damn right he is.  Anywhore, Jimin stood up for me, and that's when he gave Jimin detention, too.  When lunchtime came, I had no idea who to sit with, so I just sat by myself.  Jimin came over and asked if he could sit with me.  I gave him permission, so he sat with me.  We did our detention, where we talked a little bit.  He had complimented my outfit and shoes,"  She says with a smile.  "When we were in detention, he asked me where I lived, so I told him.  Turned out, we lived right next door to each other.  Knowing that, we walked home together, getting to know each other some.  We would hang out a lot, doing things we both liked, mostly played video games.  Eventually, he developed a crush on me, and I'd be crazy if I said the feeling wasn't mutual.  He could never tell me, though.  Jimin used to be so shy around me,"  She says, smiling again as she's looking down at her ring, her thumb and index finger on it.  She looks back up.  "One weekend, I was spending the night with my best friend, which is his sister.  We were watching movies, and I invited him to join.  Eventually, he went to bed before us.  When we went to go to sleep, we went to sleep in her room.  I didn't want to sleep in there.  I had the urge to sleep with Jimin, so I got up and I crept into his room.  He looked like such an angel,"  She says, looking mesmerized.  "I got in the bed with him, and that was when he wrapped his arms around me.  I looked over to see if he was awake, but he wasn't.  He was peacefully sleeping, a smile on his face as his arms were wrapped around me,"  She says with a smile, toying with her ring as she looks at it.  "I wanted to kiss him right on his plump lips, but I didn't want to wake him, so I turned back around and went to sleep.  Despite my not waking him up, he woke up shortly after anyway.  He nudged me and asked why I was in his bed.  I turned around and looked him in his eyes.  His voice was so sexy.  It was so raspy, and in that moment, looking into his eyes and hearing his voice, I felt...everything for Jimin.  So I kissed him.  I kissed him with everything in me, and he was sure kissing back, like his life depended on it.  I kissed Jimin first,"  She says as if she's just now realizing it.  "We kissed before, but it was an accident-"

"How do you accidentally kiss someone?"  I say in a genuinely curious tone as I tilt my head, a genuinely curious expression on my face.

"We collided with each other in the hallway and looked up at the same time."  "Oh, okay."  I fix my head back.

"It had created some awkwardness, but I liked it, and eventually, he told me he did, too.  But that kiss was accidental.  This kiss wasn't, and I initiated it.  So from that point forward, we got so much closer.  We were kissing and touching all the time.  He would wrap his arm around me.  We would get sexual-"

"Have you guys had sex yet?"  "No, but my virginity is his.  I promised it to him."  "Oh."  I feel my heart crack.

"When we kissed for real for the first time, I knew my heart belonged to him,"  My heart shatters to a million smithereens.  "It was almost as if we were dating.  We didn't have a label on what we were doing, until we did.  One day, Jimin called me and said that he needed me to come over.  He said he had something important to do.  I'd do anything for Jimin, so I came over, and that was when he....when he sang me a song,"  She says, a happy tear rolling down her cheek, her voice changing.  "In the song, he admitted his feelings for me and asked me to be his girlfriend.  I gladly accepted.  After that, he got on bended knee and proposed my promise ring to me.  I'm so glad to have Jimin in my life.  He's the best thing that ever happened to me."  She says, more tears sliding down her face.

Wow.  Part of me hates this because I love her and I want her with me, but the other part of me thinks their relationship is sweet and adorable.

I thought they weren't that deep, but they are.  What do I do?  Is there anything I can do?

LillyRose's POV

"Lilly, whose visor is this?"  Jimin says, referring to the white visor on the bed.

"Zarion's."  "Zarion's?"  He immediately questions with that tone, a frown on his face.

"Yeah."  "He was here?  In this room with you?"  He says, making pointing gestures, pointing downward.

"Yes, but-"  "I thought you hated him."  Jimin sounds low key upset.  "Jimin-"  "You know he wants you!"

"Jimin, please let me explain."  His hands grip his hair in anguish, an anguished expression on his face.  "Ok."
