THANK YOU FOR COMING BACK

April 9, 2021
Seoul, South Korea
10:30 PM

Even in his wildest dreams, Yoongi never thought he would be able to hold the ballerino in his arms again. Although he had told Jimin he would only stay for a little while, he ended up staying nearly 3 hours, making sure the younger man was calm and safe.

He offered to make him some tea or hot chocolate, but Jimin sadly shook his head and turned down the offer, instead, he asked for him to stay with him a little longer, so he sank down on the couch next to Jimin and cradled him in his arms until Jimin's cries had subsided.

Yoongi felt his cellphone start vibrating, probably his babysitter/assistant wondering when he would come home to his younger sister, he told himself he'd call back soon, after he left Jimin's house, of course.

"Hey Jimin, I've gotta go now," he pulled away from the tight embrace, but kept his hands on the balls of Jimin's shoulders. Jimin looked at him with a disappointed face, his eyes still glassy from crying, and his cheeks a little rosy as well.

He nodded his head a little bit and urged Yoongi to go home, "I wish we could talk more," Yoongi said as he looked down at the floor, "I have so many things to ask and talk about to you about," Jimin opened his mouth as if to say something, but closed it right away.

"You'll be okay staying here alone?"

Jimin nodded, and wiped his eyes with his hands, "Hoseok will be back in the morning," he frowned, "I don't like staying alone."

Yoongi stared at him from the door, his hand gripping the knob with so much strength that his knuckles began to turn white.

"Do you want to come with me? We can go to the school together in the morning," he offered shyly. He knew it was something he shouldn't have asked. Jimin would probably deny his offer anyway, and Hoseok would probably be really angry if he knew.

"Can I really?"

The musician was shocked, he wasn't really expecting to get a reply, he didn't even know why he asked in the first place, but of course, his inner self was selfish and self centered, so he nodded.

"I-I'll just grab some clothes and we can go," Jimin said, standing up quickly and going into the bedroom.

Yoongi let out a sigh, what the hell am I doing? I know how much it hurts when someone is stealing your loved one from you, so why am I still doing it? Why don't I care about the fact that Hoseok might end up hurt? I was in his position once, but why am I still doing this? Then again, Jimin said he never forgot about me? Why don't I feel bad? Well, I doesn't matter now-, "I'm ready now hyung," his thoughts vanished in an instant.

"Okay, let's go." Yoongi led Jimin outside of the building, hands clasped together until they got a cab.

11:15 PM

They reached the suite within 20 minutes, Yoongi gave Jason a call and let him know he was going up already and thanked him for babysitting his sister longer than usual.

"Um, you already know Hye Jin, I hope you don't mind, she's probably sleeping-"

"Hyung, it's okay." Jimin reassured him, he didn't know why he was nervous about his sister all of a sudden. She was young, she probably doesn't remember Jimin from 5 years ago, and even if she did, she wouldn't ask anything, she was only a child then, and she still is now.

"Okay," he sighed, removing his oxfords by the front door, and putting his slipper on instead, "Come on," Jimin did the same, but kept his socks on since there wasn't any extra slippers for him.

Once inside, he couldn't help but wonder around while Yoongi headed to the bedroom to check on the young girl.

He noticed how the place was spotless, except for some coloring books and crayons laying on the coffee table, and a misplaced black tie on the couch.

"Hey,"

"Hey, you look tired," Jimin said, taking in Yoongi's reddened eyes, "You should probably go to sleep."

"I'm a little tired, but I'm okay. I can stay with you for a little while, come here." He sat down on the couch and patted the seat next to him for the pink haired dancer to sit.

"Do you wanna talk more?" He asked.

"I don't even know where to begin,"

"How bout we first start by apologizing?" Yoongi said, "I- I want to leave everything behind Jimin-ah, I missed you so much that I'm willing to forget everything, absolutely everything,"

"Even what I did?" Jimin asked in shame, "I'm sorry I did that, to be honest, I don't even remember what happened that night, it's just, you didn't pay attention to me and he just, I don't know, I really don't. It's something that wasn't supposed to happen, and I'm not going to deny it anymore, i just want you to know it didn't mean anything," he sighed, his eyes were glassy with tears for the second time in one night, "I've regretted that every day ever since you left, i tried to reach you and, and - " Yoongi shushed him by bringing him close to his chest.

"It's okay, I'm sorry, I was going through a lot then, I should have taken better care of our relationship, I'm sorry you had to go to those measures... I'm sorry I didn't listen," he closed his eyes, patting Jimin's head as little sobs escaped his mouth, "We were stupid then, I'm sorry," he pressed his lips to his temple, and sighed.

"What are you going to do about Hoseok?" He suddenly asked, as much as he wanted to just smash his lips onto the dancer's red bitten lips, he knew he wouldn't go that far, just yet, "I- I want to kiss you without feeling burdened... I want to hug you and be able to do so without hiding away, I just want you to be mine, just mine."

"I will talk to him tomorrow, he will understand," Jimin hid his face in the crook of Yoongi's neck, his hot breath sent shivers down his spine, gently, he pressed his lips on the soft skin. The contact was brief, but the feeling of it lingered longer than it should have, "I'm happy hyung, I'm happy you came back, I'm happy you came back to me," Jimin straightened himself up, "Now you should go to sleep, it's pretty late. I know you're not a morning person," he giggled.

"Okay, okay, I'll go now, but let me go grab you some blankets," he smiled and stood up. He came back in seconds with a big, fluffy blanket and handed it to Jimin along with a pillow, Yoongi set the pillow on the couch, and told Jimin to lay down.

He then spread the blanket on top of him, and tucked him in like he does everyday to his sister, "Comfy?" Jimin nodded with a warm smile on his face, his eyes disappearing behind his cheeks, oh how I miss that smile, "Very," Jimin added, squirming his body to get in a better position, "Good. I'll go now," Yoongi said.

As he pushed himself up from the couch, Jimin locked his hand behind his neck, keeping him from doing so. In the blink of an eye, Jimin face started coming closer and closer, making Yoongi's heart skip several beats, it felt like it could burst any minute, "Jimin - what are you-" Jimin closed the gap between them, his lips soft, and plump, they felt like they hadn't ever been kissed after he'd left, it was familiar, and Yoongi felt butterflies in his stomach. He didn't wait too long to respond to the kiss, almost instantly cupping Jimin's cheeks in his hands and kissing him back softly, ending it with a sweet peck on the dancers nose.

"I'll go now, for real this time," he said with reddened cheeks, "I'll go, okay?" He stood up and Jimin didn't stop him that time, instead, his smile grew wider and brighter, "Good night baby," he said, "Goodnight hyung, I love you," Jimin answered, and Yoongi almost stopped breathing. His face was even more red than it was before, "just go to sleep," he said before storming to his bedroom with his heart beating way too fast for his health.
