'You look like you're getting ready to go and die, not sleep.' I try to joke a bit, watching him make his way to bed, staring at it like it's his biggest enemy. Which I suppose it is lately.

'I think I would rather die.' He is not for the joking right now

'Sorry. Not allowed.'

Instead of laying next to me, he got on the bed and basically crawled between my legs, laying down on my thighs as his arms slid under me, hugging me around the legs

Not a word as he nuzzled into me, not even looking up at me as I was sitting on the bed.

I ran my hand gently through his silver strands, playing with them until I felt him relax a little.

'Scared?' I kept my voice quiet and soft, trying to be understanding

He just nodded, moving his head a tiny bit on my legs.

'You know I'm going to be right here, right?'

Again, just a weak nod.

'Rain, I'm crazy in love with you.'

The hand that I had in his hair stopped moving at his words. So did the air in my lungs. This is the first time he said it. At least this him.

I wanted to hear this so bad, and now I can't even respond. He took me by surprise once again.

'And I'm afraid that if something bad happens if I try doing this, I'll lose it all again.' He finally raised his head to look up at me. 'What if- Rain?!' He panicked and cut himself off seeing me cry. Quickly getting up, he cupped my face. 'What's wrong?'

'Nothing is wrong. I'm happy.' I sniffle through my smile. 'You're in love with me.'

'I am.' He smiled back, wiping my tears. 'I'm sorry it took me this long to realize it.'

'It's okay.' I keep smiling. 'I'd wait however long you need.'

'No more waiting, baby.' He sat next to me, pulling me on his lap. Fingers sliding under my cheek, his eyes locked into mine, the words I've been dying to hear have finally left those perfect lips.

'I love you. I always have. And no matter how many times I lose the memory, I will love you again. I promise.'

'Jimin...' I don't know if I should smile or cry, or both

'I can't kiss you if you cry, baby.' He was teasing, but his face held that beautiful smile that I remember so well

'I'm sorry. I'm just happy. You have no idea how much I wanted to hear this.' I feel like the more I try to stop crying, the worse I get

'I know. I'm not blind. Thinking now, I don't even know how it took me so long to realize it. Everyone else did.'

'You have lost it all. It's a wonder that you are able to feel and think anything at all.'

He took my hand, placing it over his heart.
'They can erase me a million times over, but there is not a force in this world that can erase you from my heart. Unlucky that I had to find out this way, but it's true. No matter what, I belong to you. All of me. Body, heart, soul, and whatever is left of my mind. It's all yours.'

He sealed the words with a kiss that took away my breath and all of my senses. His fingers tangled deep into my hair, his heart racing under my palm. His velvet soft lips claimed mine for a millionth time, claiming me along with them.

'Jimin-'

'I know.' He kissed me again, seemingly sharing the same thoughts and desires of making love to each other.
