ILLICIT | PJM

Twenty-Six

AYLA/YEONA POV

I buried my face in Jimin's chest as the blush found its way to my cheeks.

"What is he doing?" Jimin gasped and I sat in a straight position as Jungkook got up and side eyed us before he bent on his one knee. He diverted the attention of almost every table which was surrounding us.

"Park Seoyun, I love you so much. To the extent where now I can't imagine my life without you. You took me to ecstasy in my darkest days. You were the reason I woke up from my sleep everyday. You're my happiness, you're my euphoria. Will you please marry me?" Jungkook had a smile plastered on his face and tears were visible on the brink of his eyes.

I almost dislocated Jimin's arm because of my exhilaration. Seoyun, being the emotion freak broke down to crying. She said 'yes' in a cracked voice that almost didn't come out of her mouth. I just couldn't come to the mind altering revelation that this couple standing right across me met two years ago. They had a wild ride.

"I mean we're not getting married tomorrow. We'll do that after you graduate get a good pay and-" Jungkook started to clarify but just that instant

"Yes." this time it was clearer. He put the ring on her left hand and they kissed each other passionately before parting their lips. I felt so happy for her. I couldn't even describe how elated i felt because of what Jungkook did just now.

"This fucker was planning the whole thing from the starting." Jimin chuckled

"We gotta step-up our game babygirl." he continued and the next thing I did was to put my hand on his mouth.

"Shut-up for two minutes daddy please." this wasn't intentional, it just naturally came to my mouth and then Jimin's cheeks were red.

"Oh shit you're engaged. My baby sis is not my child anymore." I teased her and she squealed as she hugged me tightly like a five year old did that to their soft toys. I saw her ring which suited her skin color and fit perfectly. It was a rose gold ring with leaves engraved on it. She radiated because of him. He was blissed out because of her.

"Let's give them some space." Jimin maintained a tight grip on my wrist and dragged me away from the restaurant.

"Just say that you want some space." I lightly smiled and a smirk played on his lips. He swinged our arms back and forth as we moved closer to the bay. We walked swiftly, silence surrounded us but it was tranquil. But it was interrupted by a group of men in their early thirties or late twenties as they hooted at something I didn't know.

"See you're backless dress is making me breathless but it's doing that to other men too." Jimin said as he took off his jacket and threw it on my shoulders and continued walking.

"Okay this was the most romantic place I could think of." he stopped us and looked me straight into my eyes with his piercing gaze.

"Park Jimin, why do you keep doing this to me?"

"Because I love seeing you flustered and I love it even more when I'm the reason behind it." he smiled "okay will you please go out with me?" he continued and my lips rose as I tightly hugged him.

"Promise me one thing first." I rose my pinky finger

"Anything." he said as I studied the most genuine and purest smile plastered on his face.

"No hiding things, no lies."

"No hiding things, no lies. Check." he intertwined his finger with mine before he kissed me passionately. He pulled me closer as he circled his arms around my waist. I was breathless and he sent me straight to ecstasy when he inserted his tongue. "Mhm" he groaned as I tugged his bottom lip before I parted our lips. "you're such a tease," he said as I noticed his lips which were red and glossy from our make-out session.

"You're better." I pecked his lips as I took off my heels which made me and Jimin look the same height before I walked barefoot on the cold sand. He held my wrist before he pulled me into his embrace. I was in a habit of this. He buried his head further into my neck as his cologne scent started to linger on me prior to freeing me from his grip. I made an effort to back away from him but it was a shier impossibility as something kept us connected.

"Our pendants are interlocked." his whisper came out to be a husky one which sent shivers down my spine. I diverted my eyes downwards and saw the diamond stud on my pendant shielded by a silver ring kind of thing.

"Beautiful. Where did you even get this from?" A smile crept on my face as we exchanged our breathes due to our close proximity.

"Tiffany & Co." he lightly smiled as he disengaged the pendants.

"You weren't supposed to answer." I walked further into the water.

"Ever been to Tasmania?" he yelled as he picked up my heels and followed me as i approached and got closer to the bay

"Yes and I know you're talking about sea-sparkles." I beamed a genuine smile. I still remember the day when I threw some sea sparkle on Jin oppa because the level of my exhilaration was on another level and he yelled at me.

"I have to go there, it's on my bucket list."

JIMIN POV

"Seriously? If yes then let's go on a world tour together." she radiated her eye smile. She made me feel happy. Somehow that was everything. She lightly stroked the water with her bare feet before she lost her balance. I quickly put my arm around her waist to prevent her from falling.

A peculiar blush made its way to her cheeks and she superficially shifted around but I pulled her into my embrace too intimidated to let go off her.

"Thanks for saving me." she whispered as I buried my head further into her neck. She was the one who saved me. My scent started to linger on her as I freed her from my grip. I held her like a fragile piece. Like she will break or leave me alone withered, like someone did years ago.

But no matter how tightly I held onto her. No matter how I crossed the limits of falling in love with her regardless of the fact that I wasn't meant to. One day my eyes are going to jostle open from this beautiful dream where I will regain my consciousness back to brutal reality. No matter how much the sheer thought of coming back to actuality scared me.

Where I will lose this bond because nothing is forever. Since our relationship was Illicit.

Someone tell Park Jimshit not to cry. Jin's vocals in his solo performance blessed my ears and talking about ego, man hell. Taehyung and Jungkook blew my mind. Well they always do.

And ahem bitches, the rap line. *whispers hide your children*. Give their stylists a mfer rise.

So vote for clear skin and if the concert made you cry in the corner.
