My Man.
He looked ethereal. My nerves turned week in joy while my muscles refused to move. The dulcet beats of my heart raced instantly our eyes met. A smile married my lips while my eyes engaged in tiny streams of tears.

I felt exhilarated. Jaeho's muffles turned mute slowly. I could hear my heart beats thundering all over my body.
He is here.
He is finally here.

My hopes of seeing him once again was slowly fading away. It was really difficult to hold on, with Lisa and Jenni always talking about the negativities our meet involved.
But Namjoon and Hobi helped me a lot in inducing the hope within me.
They believed my feelings for him was true.

I love you Jimin.
My angel.
He looked so beautiful. I couldn't wait to run into his arms and feel the same warmness he took away with him three years back. He didn't look like that helpless boy I met three years ago. But a fully sculpted man.

His sleek dark hair was now replaced with darker shades of brown and had grown a little more bouncier. His eyes emanated pure light of love and yearning. The same I looked at everyday in the mirror. Sharp brows and almond eyes that still looked delicate, yet alluring. He was dressed in a charming all red suit that made him look sexy.
Yes.
That's my man.

I heard whispers and giggles from around us. But nothing reached my ears clearly. It felt vague and blur.
I stared at him more than intended.
I suddenly didn't know what to do.
It's not like I wasn't ready for this , I practiced how I would talk to him, hug him, kiss him, tell him how much I missed him, how much I loved him almost every night. But when this is actually happening, nothing helped.
I really didn't know what to do.

His face held the same happiness as in mine. He came here for me.
He never gave up on me. But not soon a frown worked its way up his face.
A brief scrunch on his cheeks conveyed the gritting of his teeth.
But why...?

I could feel the strong embrace of two heavy arms snaking my neck and resting their head on my shoulder.
"No no ...Mommy is Mine" I heard Tae's voice.
Jaeho wriggled in my arms and pulled my earing with a little more force to gain my attention.

His frown  deepened and his orbs turning smaller is what I assume to be anger.

Damn Taehyung.
Out of all the times, he wants to hug me now. What if he misunderstands?
God help me from this damn cousin of mine!

I politely withdrew myself from his hold and placed a soft kiss on Jaeho's head. I motioned Tae to carry Jaeho from my hands and he did. I didn't even spare a smile at him and swiftly headed towards Jimin, climbing the stairs in utter excitement.
"Aera...Aera....Aera...
Hey....
Where are you going...?".
I heard Tae shout confusedly at me.
"Go wait in the nearby cafe or somewhere.
I need to go." With that I rushed.
