Dear Diary, (Jinmin)

END

Jimin's POV *March 22nd, 2024*

"Hey babe, look what I found." I smile, holding up a thick book with a baby blue cover.

"What is it, darling?" Seokjin's arms wrap around my waist from behind. I open it to the first page and smile softly.

"My old diary. You know, the last entry that I'd written was on the day of our engagement." I lean into his touch. "I started it just before we'd met. Having a journal was recommended by my therapist."

"Can I read it?" He asks. I nod lightly and hand him the book. "Hmm. Let's sit and read it together."

He sits on the couch and pulls me onto his lap. "Let's start from the first day."

"Ah....I'm going to warn you now that these entries can be depressing, hyung." I frown.

"I want to read it, though. It's a part of you..." He says.

"Alright, then. Start from page one." I kiss his cheek. I watch as he reads through almost every page of my diary. Every secret, every mention of my abuse, is in that book. I raise an eyebrow when his hands begin to tremble.

"The....The scars on your thighs. They're the places that you...." I close my eyes and nod lightly.

"Where I cut myself." I whisper. "I-I promise Jin, I don't do that anymore."

"I know you don't, my love." He takes my hand in his. "You were very brave, Jimin. So strong as well. I just....god, I wish I could've helped you sooner."

"Yah, Jin you did so much for me!" I exclaim. "You still do. And I love you for that, alright? You did what you could, and I appreciate it. You gave me a place to stay when I couldn't handle being at home. You comforted me when I was upset. You loved me when no one else did. You were there for me when I needed you most."

"I love you, Kim Jimin. So much."

"And I love you as well, Kim Seokjin."
