Track 07

Chapter Fifty-Four

You can see the confusion on Jimin's face while you sing about Tae, Jin or Hobi, the guys he doesn't know. But you can clearly see the joy in his eyes when you sing about Namjoon. About how he calms you. A man like the forest. About how he discovered your voice, told you to speak yourself and say what's on your mind. Jimin seems to be impressed by those lyrics.

And then, finally his part of the song starts. The part where you sing about how love can change a life. How love can change a person. How you try to be better, just for this one person. How you did not do it well so far, but you try and you will never stop trying to be the best version of yourself. Jimin smiles softly while looking at the floor. And then, right before the killing point of the song, your voice on the track stops.

But your real voice begins to speak: "Jimin, I couldn't finish this song. Because this is a song meant for us both. If not for you, there wouldn't be a Track 07 like this. Without you, five of these amazing seven men, wouldn't have come into my life. Without you, there would be no me. There would be another version of myself. The version full of hatred and the version that was never happy. But only because of you this person doesn't exist anymore. I need you. I need you, to be, who I truly am. I can only achieve that with you by my side. I know I fucked up and if there would be a way to turn back time, I would do it. But there isn't. The only thing I can do now is, tell you. Tell you about my insane deeply love for you. Tell you about the way I feel every time I'm near you, every time I hear your voice, or I even think of you. When this happens, my heart glows and it feels like it's going to burst out of my chest. Park Jimin, I love you and I never want to be without you ever again. Please help me, finish this song. Help me finish our song, sing it together with me." You hand him a piece of paper. The last three lines are written on it. The timing is perfect, the melody is exactly where it should be by now. You start to sing and hopefully, Jimin will join you.

Because of you, I live, because of you, I love.

You gave myself a new meaning. You made me feel home.

You gave me the best of me.

And he did. The moment he joined, your eyes filled with tears. His voice is so soothing. Undoubtly the best sound in this world. Your harmony fills the whole room, while last few notes of the song echo. You look up, from your wet piece of paper and see the exact same look you have in Jimin's face.

"I gave you the best of you?" His cheeks are damp from tears. "Yes you did. I never knew I could be like that. You gave that to me. You gave me this new version. The best version of me. That's actually the title of the song. Do you like it?" You're anxious. Jimin could still be angry with you. He seems to like the song, but that doesn't mean he forgives you.

"No, I don't."

Everything you did, for nothing. You want to go down on your knees and beg him, but he's quicker: "Y/N, I don't like this song. I absolutely love it. Just the way I love you." He comes running towards you, places his arms around your waist and looks into your eyes. "Thank you." That's all he says before whiping away your tears and pressing his lips softly on yours. "Thank you." He repeats over and over again between the kisses. He begins to chuckle. "How am I so lucky?" He pulls away, just enough to look into your eyes again. But you contradict: "I am the one who's lucky. Thank you for forgiving me." "How could I not, after this song? It's amazing."

You look at him, still in disbelief that this song actually saved your life. This last track about seven men who changed your life, actually changed your life the most. Because it brought Jimin back to you.

He smiles at you with his whole body, making you feel like you're flying. "I can't wait to record the rest of the song together with you." He says. You smile, kiss him and say "I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you."
