Jimin's POV

"I wanna say sorry. And most importantly, I have to tell you what you need to know. It'll solve the problems you currently have. You've helped me. Let me return the favor as a thank you." 

The three of them stare at me, their expressions a mixture of shock and disbelief. Their eyes widen, eyebrows raised in surprise. 

"Why do you all look so shocked?" I ask, genuinely confused. 

Then, Jin's scoffing laughter breaks the silence. 

"It's because you're suddenly being nice to me. It's rare, almost unheard of. We usually just bark at each other like some kind of canine-feline movie. You trying to help me is truly surprising, but also touching," he says, a soft smile gracing his lips. 

I feel a blush creep up my cheeks, feeling like a dominant figure suddenly turning submissive. I feel like I've been caught with my pants down. 

"U-uh.. I.. Well.." I stammer, unsure how to proceed. The heat of my awkwardness seems to radiate around me. I take a deep breath, reminding myself that I'm doing this for the right reasons, hoping that maybe Santa will reward me for my good deed. 

"I want to be a new person, a better person. My last mistake haunts me, and I don't want any shits like that to happen again. Le pain is real. I cried in Latin. I want to change and experience true happiness again, without dreading the thought of crying myself to sleep every night," Yoongi, now my boyfriend again, stand beside me, his arm finding its way around my waist. It feels so right, so natural, something I missed desperately. His hand rests gently on my hip, sending a wave of warmth through me. 

"You see, uh, H-hyung.. You never actually got mad at me. Whereas I.. I always think of you the wrong way. You helping Yoongi open the way to me back changes my whole perspective about you. Yoongi told me that you're a nice person but I didn't fully believe it. But I do in other ways. I saw how you care for your friend, Hoseok. How you care for us around Banghock. I watch your every move." 

"Oh, Samantha. You talking this way really doesn't suit you," he says, his eyes twinkling with amusement. "But I'm glad that you're finally opening your eyes. Want a hug? You can't always have a chance to hug this wide shoulder you know?" he says, wiggling his eyebrows and spreading his arms wide, invitingly. 

I look at him first, then to Yoongi. He unwraps his arm around my waist and gives me a gentle nod, signaling me to go ahead. I look back at Jin. 

Yes. I bury myself into the hug, feeling his warmth envelop me.

"Let's be friends. But please let's not get that bitchy side of Jimin away from you. It's so unusual to me," Jin says, and I laugh at his statement. No way I will get rid of that side of me. That's what makes me superior. 

I hear a coo from the side and look over to see Taehyung, his eyes fixed on us. We both pull away from the hug. Jin pats my shoulder, a playful glint in his eyes. 

"That's the first and last you will ever hug my boyfriend," Taehyung says jokingly, intertwining his fingers with Jin's. 

"I'll apply that to Jin too then. This mochi is mine," Yoongi butts in, a smirk playing on his lips. He leans in and kisses my cheek, making me blush. 

I suddenly remember why I'm here.

I need to talk to Jin. 

"Teddy, I need to steal your boyfriend for a moment." 

"And why is that?" Taehyung looks at me questioningly, his eyebrows furrowed in confusion. 

"Something. I wanna talk to him personally, so please. It's really important. You can bang him later. Bye!" I steal Jin away from Taehyung by grabbing his wrist and running towards the elevator, leaving them both speechless.
