Chapter Fifteen: Love Under The Moonlight

The car was way too silent.

And awkwardness hung in the air like a dead corpse.

Some random depressing song is playing on the radio and you feel yourself cringe at the lyrics. Jimin changed the channel, the radio now playing heavy metal rock. He clicked the button again to change the channel. I Want It That Way by The Backstreet Boys starts playing, making both of you smile. Before you know it, both of you are singing along, as you flayed your hands around unelegantly to really vibe with the song. You two often burst into laughter together as the song plays on and you get more and more extra with your actions. 

That is, until your hand accidentally hits Jimin smack in the middle of his face. 

Everything is chaos. 

The car swerves as you hear Jimin's loud groan. Your hand pulls back as you keep them at the headboard. Your life flashed before your eyes as you yelped. 

"I need to think of some cool last words. Tell me some cool last words, Jimin" were what your last words would have been if Jimin had not pushed the break right on time. You finally breathed out as you looked at Jimin. He was gently massaging his nose as he looked at you with a thoughtful expression.

"You know, technically, if we had died, your last word would have been my name." 

"Well, thank the Lord we didn't die, amirite?" you said, making Jimin shake his head. 

"Let's go now." , you said but Jimin just pointed out the window. We had already reached my apartment.

"Oh."

"Let me walk you to the door."

"Real gentleman, aren't ya?"

"I am, as a matter of fact." Jimin said, grinning.

He walked you to the front of the building in silence, which seemed not so awkward anymore.

You stopped at the front of the house, your hands now in your pocket. You turned towards Jimin as he stopped next to you.

"So, the night comes to an end, I guess", he softly breathed out. His eyes on you were steady but gentle.

"Yeah, it was crazy", you said, your nerves kicking in at not the right moment.

You didn't know what made you do it. The remnants of the alcohol in your system, possibly. You don't know. You don't think you'd ever know. But somehow in those few seconds, you had no regrets.

You stood on your tiptoes as you brushed your lips against his cheeks. They were warm and soft and made your insides feel gooey. He froze immediately at the contact, making some part of you feel smug at knowing that you did that to him.

"Thank you, for taking care for me" you said as you stepped back, your words genuine. You saw that his mouth slightly ajar and his eyes were fixed on you like they were amazed. You couldn't help it, a small chuckle left your throat. Jimin pursed his lips shut, but words failed him as you turned around to walk towards the building. His eyes followed you as you turned around at the last minute and waved at him with a soft smile. He managed a weak wave but it was too late. You had already disappeared into the building, leaving Jimin lost as he desperately tried to hold on to the ghost of a kiss you have given him.
