    The next couple of weeks go by with secret kisses, adoring looks and sneaking into each other's rooms at night.

    Namjoon's visit was lovely. Jimin was ecstatic to see his best friend again and Namjoon was just as happy to see Jimin. Jungkook was jealous, but he must admit that he likes the guy. He can see why Jimin has chosen to keep him by his side.

    During the visit, Namjoon noticed Jungkook's sharp eyes on him as soon as he would get a little too close to Jimin, and on the last day of his visit, he asked Jimin about it.

    "Min... Is there something going on between you two?" Namjoon questioned carefully.

    "Who?" Jimin asked, heart beating faster.

    "Don't play dumb. You know who." Namjoon said, and Jimin bit down on his bottom lip.

    "N-no. Nothing is going on." He lied.

    "I can tell when you're lying, Jimin." Namjoon stated, knowing Jimin better than he knows himself sometimes.

    Jimin felt tears invade his eyes, terrified of what Namjoon would think and do.

    "Please, don't tell anyone. I know it's wrong, but- Please, Joonie." Jimin pleaded, lip quivering as he grabbed at the end of the taller's shirt.

    "Hey, don't cry... I'm not going to tell." Namjoon reassured, grabbing Jimin's arms.

   Namjoon's family is not as religious as Jimin's family. He has nothing against same sex relationships. 

    Jimin cried anyway, sobbing into Namjoon's shirt, repeating 'I'm a sinner' over and over like a broken record. 

    Namjoon frowned, feeling so much worry for his best friend. 

    "Jimin, you are not a sinner for being attracted to someone." He said.

    "I am, I am. I'm attracted to another boy. I'm a sinner." Jimin rambled.

    "Boy, girl... it doesn't matter. It's just a gender, a label. You can't help your feelings. If your heart wants another male, then you need to accept it, embrace it." Namjoon said softly, trying to calm the other down.

    At the end of the day, their bond had grown stronger and Jimin felt better with someone knowing and accepting him for being with Jungkook. 

    Two days after Namjoon left, Jungkook accidently slipped up. 

    It was monday, the beginning of the last week of winter break, four days before christmas and the last day their parents had to work before getting off to prepare for the holiday. 

    The two boys were wrapped up in a blanket, watching a christmas movie. Or, Jimin was watching the movie. Jungkook was glancing at Jimin every ten seconds, watching him giggle at something they said in the movie, or pouting because he had predicted something wrongly.

    At one point, the taller couldn't take it anymore, and turned to capture Jimin's lips with his. Jimin was taken by surprise, but happily kissed back, loving the way Jungkook's lips fit perfectly with his.

    Jungkook eventually pulled away and gazed into Jimin's eyes, adoring the way his cheeks had tinted pink and his lips red. Jimin leaned up to peck Jungkook's lips again, giggling softly.

    And Jungkook just couldn't help himself.

    "I love you." Is what fell from his lips, making both of them freeze.
