STAR CROSSED LOVERS

Ch. 32

The warm water hits my body, and I closed my eyes as I let the tears slip out of the corners.

They hated me and I couldn't stand it. I wanted to be apart of Jimin's world, apart of his family, but I can't. I don't belong. Even if I tried, his father would never accept me.

After quickly scrubbing my body and washing my hair, I step out and wrap a towel around my body. I prepare a bath, setting candles around it and spread bubbles in the jacuzzi. The jacuzzi over looked the beautiful city of Busan. The towel drops to the floor and I step in.

I sat in the jacuzzi, thinking about Jimin and all I could think about was our future. I wanted us to have a future. I hoped for us to have a family. But we couldn't. Not when we're both successful artists being in the public's eye, not when we're from different countries and cultures, not when his parents don't accept me. Could we even have a future to together? Was it all in my head?

Jimin knocks on the bathroom door before poking his head through the door. I give him a small smile as he walks in and sits on the edge of the jacuzzi. The towel still hung loosely around his waist from the shower he took before me, making me blush at his naked body.

"Can I join you?" He asks softly. I nod my head slightly. The towel drops to the ground and he sits across from me in the jacuzzi.

"I'm sorry." I whisper and tears escape my eyes.

He pulls me closer to him, wrapping his arms around me. "Why are you sorry?"

"I don't want you to fight with your father." I rest my head on his chest as he rubs his hand up and down my back.

"It's not your fault."

"Jimin," I say, pulling away. "They don't like me. How can I ever be apart of your family?"

He smiles, caressing my cheek in his hand. "You already are. We are mom and dad. Yoongi is the grandpa who falls asleep everywhere. Jin, Tae, and Jungkook are our kids. Hoseokie is our mother and Namjoon is the dorky uncle that likes to take care of our kids."

I laugh as the tears stream down my face. I playfully hit his chest and smile at him.

"Molly, we will make this work. I see a future with you. My dad doesn't see it now, but he will. BTS is my family too. And they will always support us. So never say that you aren't apart of my family. Because you are."

He reaches down and kisses my forehead. "Just Mine, remember?"

I nod and stare into his beautiful eyes. I lean in, connecting his plump lips to mine.

The cold breeze blew through my sweater, causing me to close my eyes to protect me from the stinging sand. The dampness of the sand was making its way into my jeans as I sat on the sand, hugging my knees. My hair fell loosely around my face with my eyes still closed to listen as the waves crashed against the shore. I loved the beach, the way the sand would mold around my feet, the way the sun would reflect of the ocean across the horizon, and the calming sound of the waves hitting the rocks. But I was distracted from the sound of the waves when I heard the most beautiful sound.

Jimin's laugh.

I smiled to myself as I listened as Jimin's laugh filled the air. The sound of his giggles alone was enough to free me from my worries. I had found the sound that I loved more than the waves.

"He never loses that giggle of his." Someone said from beside me, reminding me that I wasn't alone. We were at the beach with two of Jimin's closest friends. Jimin was goofing around with one friend by the shore and I was sitting with the other.

Her name was Na-Ri, Jimin's friend from grade-school. She was a petite figure with rounder eyes and pale skin, very beautiful. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't jealous of her. She was the ideal Korean girl. I'm sure that if Jimin would have fallen in love with her, his parents would approve. But I didn't hate her. She was very sweet and welcoming. She was a good friend to Jimin and it made me happy seeing him have such great friendships despite how much he works.

I smiled at her and she continues, staring at the boy running around with Jimin, Jin-woo. "I haven't seen him this happy in a while actually." She looks at me and holds my hand. "I see the way you look at him. It's like you've got the universe in front of you." She pauses. "I'm scared he'll put other's happiness before his, so don't leave him. Don't let him. No matter if people are against you two. Don't let him go."

Before I could speak, Jimin was standing in front of us with Jin-woo by his side. Jimin bent down and planted a soft, gentle kiss on my forehead. "Hey beauitful." He whispers, sending chills down my spine.

All I could say was, "Hi."

But there was more I wanted to say.

Something I was scared of saying. Something I wanted to shout from the top of my lungs.

"I love you." I thought.
