"I met my father today"

I was surprised at his sudden statement so I didn't know how to react.

"h–how did you feel?" I asked looking down at my sweaty hands.

"Well, happy and sad. 50-50" Jimin answered.

"Why sad?" I became more curious.

He raised his head from my shoulder and looked down on the ground. His face still looked gloomy. He didn't seem happy at all.

"I won't get to meet him again." Jimin said with a little pout.

"Oh, so it must be your first and last time that you see him." I said.

"Actually I met him a few times before when I came down to earth. He told me that I could come with him to his world and live with him." Jimin said with a sigh.

"Well, that's a good thing, isn't it?" I tried to cheer him up with a fake smile.

He looked at me," do you really want me to go with him? Leave you?"

I didn't know how to respond so I averted my gaze somewhere.

"He asked me to take after him. The throne. And I kind of agreed–"

"What?!You are really leaving me–" I quickly shut my mouth with both of my hands realizing what I was saying.

Jimin chuckled a little and continued,"he asked me that thing before I met you so I also agreed. But while living here, I realized how beautiful and wonderful it is to be a human. So I told my dad that I wanted to be a human being instead. He seemed disappointed but he kept visiting me occasionally in case I change my mind."

"So that's what you meant by that...." I said.

"Mean by what?" He asked.

"Remember, you said that you didn't have much time left?" I answered.

He nodded lightly,"right. I was confused between going with him and staying here."

"And? What did you choose?" I asked feeling anticipated.

He raised his gaze at me and smirked,"what do you think?"

My shoulders dropped low as I looked down in disappointment," ah, so you are leaving this world...that's why you look sad"

Jimin scoffed,"I rejected my father's offer strongly today and made it very clear that I want to live here in this world till the very end so I won't be able to seem him anymore. That's why I am a bit sad."

I was glad that he wasn't leaving but I  couldn't smile at all. Instead I felt a pang of guilt hit me hard followed by the strong feeling of sadness.

"Hm? Why do you look sad now?" He knitted his eyebrows together as he pursed his lips staring at me.

I released a long breath as I felt a lump in my throat,"you didn't leave because of...."

I slowly looked up at him with quivering eyes while he pressed his lips tightly looking back at me.

"Correct. You're right. I wanna live with you, here, on this Earth." Jimin confessed as tears threatened to fall from my eyes.

I quickly looked to the side blinking away my tears.

My heart just started hurting at that point but I didn't care about it at all. I deserved the pain. I deserved the punishment.

Deceiving Jimin made me feel so guilty that the physical pain didn't bother me at all.

Suddenly I felt a hand on my chin turn my head around and as my vision became clear, I was facing Jimin.

He looked at me deeply, our faces were so close, so close that I could feel his hot breath against my face.

"Don't blame me for this"

Were the last words before I found myself completely melt on his lips.

My eyes widened in shock as I tried to comprehend the sudden situation.

His eyes were closed just a few inches  from me. And I felt his lips on mine.

A kiss?

When I finally realized what situation I was entangled into, I quickly pulled away from him.

He stared at me as my face started heating up. My heart could explode anytime so I avoided his eyes and breathed slowly.

"I'm sorry for that....I couldn't see you cry–"

I must be crazy.

Yes, I definitely was crazy. I found myself kissing him back, my hands holding his collars lightly. It was my turn to close my eyes now.

When the pain in my heart increased, I pulled away and breathed slowly trying to calm down the palpitations.

Jimin looked dumbfounded as he became a statue. His body didn't move an inch as he looked back at me with pink cheeks.

"You said I would be the first person to kiss you" I cleared my throat and looked down shyly.

"Does that mean you have fallen for me?" Jimin asked faintly.

"Should I kiss you again to prove that?" I said.

Jimin chuckled,"please do so" He moved closer and hugged me.

"Eun Dal, I can't express how happy I am right now" He whispered.

I rested my chin on his shoulder as I hugged him back. Tears started falling as I realized what I had done.

Jimin, I am sorry. I don't wanna lie to you more. I just wanna express my true feelings just this once.

Let me be selfish for just this once.

After this you can hate me as much as you want. When I tell you my truth, please don't hesitate to kill me.

I soon started sniffling as Jimin pulled back and wiped my tears,"stop crying, please. I hate seeing you hurt."

I couldn't help but to cry even more. I didn't know what caused my tears.

The sharp pain in my heart, the guilt, the soft but sad words from him,the blind trust, the realization that he would hate me in future or the immense love that I didn't deserve at all.

What made me cry so much?
