JIMIN POV

"It's the best thing for me
right now."

I hate seeing Jin sad especially over me but this conversation can't wait any longer.

"I need a fresh start."

"But Got7 is so far."

He's staring at me over the
top of his coffee mug with
those big blue eyes I've
never been able to say no to.

"And what about the work
you're doing for Syrus?"

"I thought you loved that."

"I do."

I lean back in my chair and
think of a reasonable excuse
that doesn't confirm or deny anyone's suspicions that I'm
still not totally over my best friend and that seeing Jin so happy with Namjoon kills me.

"But Got7 is beautiful and it's
a great job."

"Director of their new
surrogacy program is an opportunity I can't refuse."

Jin frowns but he keeps his composure.

"Then I'm happy for
you, I guess..."

"Thank you."

I smile and reach across the table to briefly squeeze his hand.

"I knew you would be."

"So, when do you leave?"

Jin breaks a piece off his blueberry muffin and flashes those big eyes at me, knowing exactly what I'm gonna say.

"They said I'm welcome to
come at any time but they are not starting the program until
the beginning of next quarter."

"So technically, there isn't
any rush..."

"But..." Jin raises an eyebrow
and waits for me to spit it out already.

Damn, he knows me well.

"But I'm ready, I might start driving out next weekend."

Jin exhales deeply but seems resigned to the fact that this
is happening.

"You know how much I'm
gonna miss you, right?"

I reach across the table
and grab his hand.

"Yeah, almost as much as
I'm going to miss you."

I give him a gentle squeeze
then release his hand.

"But we can FaceTime every
day, I don't want those babies
to forget who Uncle Jimin is."

"Are you kidding?"

Jin waves his hand at the absurdity of my comment.

"You better be back here at
least once a month."

"More often if you're not pregnant, to babysit."

I chuckle and then grab a
piece of his muffin before
he can stop me.

"Well, I think my days of surrogacy are over."

"I've done my duty to our community."

"If I ever get pregnant again,
it'll be for love, not money."

"I know you'll find love soon."

Jin's eyes twinkle as he gives me one of his most genuine smiles.

"You deserve it more than anyone."

It's a lovely fantasy but I'm not sure it's in the cards for me.

"I hope so, Maybe my alpha
is waiting for me in Got7."
