Jimin sucked in a deep breath, hovering close to the microphone positioned right in front of his plump lips, and gave Yoongi and Namjoon a slight nod, letting them know he was ready to start.

The familiar track flowed into his ears, soft and gentle, and Jimin allowed his lashes to flutter over his flushed cheeks as the memorized words fell from his tongue, echoing throughout the recording studio.

All of this isn't just a coincidence
Just just my own feeling
The whole universe is different from yesterday
Just just from your happiness

His voice was light, woven through with glimmering threads of golden sunshine, coated with honey, vibrating in his throat and tumbling from his mouth, trickling across Yoongi's consciousness like a cloud stained by the dipping sunset.

It seemed to leave its own taste lingering on his tongue, cerulean oceans shining like sapphires under the bright sky, white foam rushing over white sand, the gentle hush of the sea. Warm nights and purple rain, washing tear streaks and imprints of devastating cries away from blushing cheeks. Soft, like lace caressing skin and rough hands worn from years of pain. Pure, leaving ghosts of feather light kisses scattered over his skin.

When you call me
I am your flower
Like I've been waiting for it
We bloomed dazzlingly
It is almost like the destiny of the universe
It is just how it is
You know I know
You are me, and I am you

Jimin couldn't help but feel something very strange as he sang the lyrics, a kind of warmth blooming in his chest, as though marigold petals were filling his bones, and orchids blossoming so intricately around his heart that it almost ached.

These words resonated with him, brought something to the surface of his mind that he'd been purposefully ignoring out of fear.

As much as my heart flutters, I'm just as afraid
Fate keeps being envious of us

It had been a long time since he'd felt something so beautiful reside within him, and the last time he did, the flowers that had grown so breathtakingly beneath his skin had been splattered with blood and soaked in his pain.

I am just as afraid as you are
When you see me
When you touch me

But this felt just a bit...just a bit different.

Maybe it was because as these gorgeous melodies escaped him, he knew a kind of trust existed between them that had never existed between him and Seo-Jun, an already vulnerable love growing into a stronger one, but enough strength and care had been given to him in the time that he'd known him for him to feel differently.

Maybe it was because once upon a time he'd loved Seo-Jun...

But then...then he was just loving a ghost...

And he knew that this love wasn't for an echo, a shadow of a colored photograph that had once been, but for someone who was entirely real.

The cosmos moved for us
There was nothing slightly out of place

Because as he sang, he did not think of the Seo-Jun he used to miss, or the love he thought he once had...

Our happiness was expected
Cause you love me
And I love you

Jimin thought...

Of Min Yoongi.
