Written In The Stars ✨

Chapter 08

September 1st was not an ordinary day in Park Jimin's life. It was the day the love of his life was born on. This year on this particular day BTS members spent most of their hours in an aeroplane to Los Angeles. Laying on his business class seat Jimin looked around to see all of his mates asleep around him. He released a sigh. For a man who was flying in business class, for his own sold out tour in America Jimin seemed to sigh a lot.

Lights were dimed in the cabin but Jimin could still make out a clear image of Jungkook who was sleeping peacefully, holding a Cooky pillow to his chest.

"Cute bunny." Jimin thought to himself.

To Jimin's surprise Jungkook hadn't stop talking to him after the incident in the studio, Neither had he brought it up again after that night. Jungkook pretended it never happened and Jimin was too selfish and too scared to talk about it and change their dynamic. He had no way to approach Jungkook without giving himself away either so he went along with Jungkook's arrangement. He wished he could have given something other than "Im sorry." to Jungkook.

Jimin had been thinking about it. Just like he had promised to Namjoon, Jimin had been thinking about revealing everything to Jungkook. But he was scared. For Jungkook, for the band, for himself.

What change would that make anyway? They would still be forced to stay away.

"Hyung, you are staring." The voice brought Jimin back to reality. As he focused his gaze he found Jungkook staring back at him with sleepy eyes.

"Oh Jungkook-ah. You woke up?"

"Hmm" Jungkook hummed sleepily. It looked like JK was still half asleep.

"Happy birthday, Gukkie." Jimin whispered.

"Oh?" Jungkook cocked his head to a side comically.
Jimin couldn't help the giggle that escape from him.

"It's your birthday baby. You are not a baby anymore." Jimin tried to laugh off the term of endearment that slipped unconsciously from his tongue.

"Hmm" Jungkook hummed again frowning a bit. A moment later he added. "Thank you."

Jimin nodded his head. It picked at his heart at how short the conversation had been. Jungkook turned his head away from Jimin, resting his eyes once again. Jimin wondered if Jungkook was thinking about his last birthday which they spent the whole day wrapped in each other. Or he could be trying NOT to think about it.

"I'm glad it was you." Jungkook raised his voice again.

"Sorry?"

"I'm glad you were the first to wish me Happy birthday." Jungkook didn't say 'this year as well' but Jimin knew that was what he meant.

Jimin smiled.
"Get some sleep Kookie."

~ Flashback ~

Jungkook wakes up to Jimin softly nibbling in his ear.

"Kookie, Wake up. It's your birthday, my beautiful boy."

It kind of tickles and Jungkook laughs happily.

"Rise and shine sweets." Jimin sings, giggling. The beautiful sound makes Jungkook's heart flutter with delight.

Jungkook turns his head to look at Jimin. Bathed in the morning sunlight pouring through the windows his boyfriend looks like an angel.

"Have I ever told you you are beautiful?" Jungkook asks making Jimin giggle again.

"You tell me that everyday." Jimin murmurs and moves forward to kiss Jungkook on lips.
