🔥Oh, Freckles🔥

-1 week later-

Lil and Jimin make their way inside and out of the heat, stopping by the kitchen so she could drink some water. After her little incident last week, they'd all sat down and come up with a training schedule. Her training was now split into two sessions rather than one long one like before. She'd train for a few hours during the day with Jimin supervising and he'd occasionally try to use his powers on her while she was fighting to gauge her reaction. Naturally, at first it threw her off, making it hard to focus on the demons; but the need to protect herself would kick in and she'd focus harder—effectively shutting his powers out while she fought. Now, she was didn't even miss a beat.

"Those demons don't stand a chance," Jimin says, giving her a high five.

"Damn right they don't," she says, finally confident enough in her abilities.

Jimin smiles big, resting his elbow on the counter and his head in his hand as he admired his soulmate.

"What?" she asks, noticing his stare while throwing away her empty water bottles.

"I'm just so proud of you. Your strength is...unmatched. The way you've taken on this challenge, the training, the injuries, the terrible things I've made you see...and all without complaint. Freckles, you are amazing," he says, walking around the counter and standing in front of her.

He cradles her face in both his hands and gives her a soft, lingering peck on the lips before pulling her into his embrace.

"I fall in love with you more and more every day," he says, resting his chin on her head as he rocked them gently.

The sweet confession brought tears to her eyes and she hugs him tight around the waist.

"I love you too Jiminie, so so much. I know we don't get much downtime together lately, but I promise we will when I get back. I'm training so hard because I refuse to be taken away from you. We've got so much more loving to do," she says.

"I know baby, I know; but do try to fit in some time with us before you go. We've all been stressed out of our minds worrying. It's not that we don't think you can do it. I have no doubt, but letting you go is going to be one of the hardest things I've ever done and I'm sure the others feel the same," he says, pulling back to look at her.

"I have been pretty neglectful huh? I'm sorry, I've just been so in my own head that it didn't occur to me you were feeling this way. I promise I'll do better okay?" she says and he nods, leaning against the counter.

"Don't feel bad love. We understand. I just know it'll benefit us all," he says.

"How about we go shower and you help me make dinner for everyone?" she asks and he smirks.

"We? Shower together?" he asks, making her smile and roll her eyes.

"Is that all you heard dude?" she asks and he shrugs.

"Can you blame me?" he asks.

"Shut up and come on," she says, pursing her lips and grabbing him by the front of his shirt.

"Yes ma'am," he says, letting her drag him upstairs to her room.

She immediately starts to strip out of her sweaty clothes, throwing them in the hamper and Jimin does the same—trailing behind her into the bathroom. They step into the glass enclosure and she starts the shower, steam from the hot water already fogging up the glass. When she reaches for her soap, he beats her to it, grabbing her loofa too. When he gets a good lather, he sweeps her hair to the side and starts washing her back.
