Hoseok is looking up at the other with big eyes, wondering if he died and traveled to heaven. Jimin has been lying on top of him, rambling about being oblivious and a total idiot.

Oh.

So Jimin realized how he feels? He's not quite sure, the younger has been throwing words out there for a good five minutes now and they are still lying on the ground.

"I'm so sorry! I should have listened to you- no everyone, right from the start! Yoongi's an asshole and I didn't realize you were here the whole time. Like that kind of here," he says.

"What happened with Yoongi?" Hoseok asks as they slowly sit up. He still hasn't really understood the meaning behind Jimin's words and the fact that he can actually live out his feelings now.

Jimin sighs, looking down at his legs that are straddling Hoseok.

"It's kind of a complicated story..." he says. Nevertheless, he starts telling the whole thing from top to bottom. Hoseok's eyes get wider and wider for every word, mostly the part about Yoongi going after him? No wonder he kept pushing into him back at the party. That's kind of creepy.

"W-Wow, I was not expecting that... what are you going to do now then?" the elder asks in a worried tone.

"What do you mean?"

"Like, now that it's just over? Aren't you afraid he'll come after you or something?" Hoseok asks.

Jimin looks deeply into his eyes for a few seconds before he breaks into a laugh.

"If he tries anything, we'll get the police informed. And I'm sure my new boyfriend will protect me, right?" he questions.

"New boyfriend? Who?"

Is he stupid? Jimin shakes his head with a smile, not knowing why he's even holding up with this idiot.

Hoseok suddenly plays the past couple of events in his head. The tackle. The kiss. The 'I love you'.

"Oh."

"Yeah, oh." Jimin laughs out.

"OH! HOLY SHIT!" Hoseok smiles the brightest smile he ever has, wrapping his arms around Jimin's waist and pulling him closer. Jimin giggles and tugs some of Hoseok's hair as they lean in.

Their lips meet again in a sweet kiss, feeling the familiar warmth. The taste of Jimin's lips is something Hoseok will forever cherish. Actually, everything about the younger will always be his most prized possession.

"Guess the plain guy won in the end anyway," Hoseok smiles when the pull apart. Jimin tugs some of the other's hair behind his ear.

"You were never the plain one," he giggles and they pull close again.

Young love at its finest.

"I'm so relieved, there's no better guy you could possibly end up with," Jungkook sighs out, holding a hand over his chest and having his eyes closed.

The small family is sitting in a diner, having chosen to eat out today so they didn't have to worry about dinner after a rather eventful day. Hoseok was also invited, but he seemed to have some things he needed to deal with, both with his parents and his mind a.k.a. he needed time to freak out.

Jimin whacks his father's shoulder.

"Are you saying my previous taste in men is bad?"

"Well..." Jungkook teases. Jimin rolls his eyes but can't help but smile as well.

Taehyung, who's sitting in front of the two others, sighs.

"I'm just glad this didn't turn out bad..." he says. Months of fights, lying and conflicts are hopefully over now. His heart can't take it any longer, so he smiles fondly when Jimin and Jungkook grin at him.

Jimin is also very grateful for that. He has honestly been the one at fault here, he's the main reason for all the trouble in this family... but that's something he's planning to end now. Suddenly something pops into his memory.

"Hey, am I still grounded? I remember getting my punishment extended?" Jimin asks, a small smirk on his lips. They have totally forgotten about that. Jungkook turns and looks at his son with expecting eyes.

"I'm open for negotiations," he says shortly. Jimin's mouth gapes.

"You can't be serious, after everything I have been through you won't let me free!?" he asks in disbelief. Jungkook looks at him for a little before getting into a fit of laughter.

"I'm joking! But don't test my patient anymore," he says and throws his arm over Jimin's shoulder, pulling him into a side hug.

Jimin huffs but lets the elder hug him, feeling happy that this is finally an old chapter in his life. He looks down at the food that is presented before him. It's just some basic French fries and some meatballs. Maybe he should go get some ketchup to pep it up a little.

He looks up towards the counter of the restaurant to look after a waiter, but he quickly regrets that.

Right there, Yoongi is.

The elder is wearing his familiar leather jacket and some ripped black jeans. His hair is styled nicely and Jimin would be lying if he didn't say Yoongi looks absolutely amazing. The raven-haired boy is currently ordering food, two of his seemingly 'bad' friends behind him.

Jimin's breath hitches and he stares. Yoongi doesn't seem to have a care in the world as if he didn't just dump his flirt of three months two hours earlier.

Jungkook seems to notice Jimin's stare, looking in the same direction. Immediately he spots Yoongi and tenses.

Jimin feels how his father's arm tightens around him, flexing the muscles he has worked so hard on for years. The muscles Jimin is certain can crush Yoongi with a simple punch. He sees Taehyung from the corner of his eye. The elder is already halfway up his seat, eyes burning into the 24-year old not far from them.

Yoongi hasn't noticed them.

Jimin immediately grabs a hold of Jungkook's bicep, looking up at the elder with frightened eyes.

"Jungkook, not here! Not now!" he whisper-shouts. Jungkook doesn't seem to take in the words, he's just staring at Yoongi with a glare that could kill. He starts getting up from his seat, but Jimin determinedly yanks him back down with all his might, even though his muscle power isn't something to brag about.

"Don't do this, please-" Jimin begs. Jungkook hears the almost cry and turns to look at his son, Taehyung too.

"Give me one fucking reason to not crush him until he's begging for his death?" Jungkook spits. Taehyung is standing in an awkward position, hallway up from the seat, ready to assist his husband in any fight to protect their son.

Jimin bites his lip, brainstorming.

"W-What if they are armed? Jungkook, they could be carrying weapons! You could get hurt," Jimin makes his eyes big. The anxiety for the possible outcome of such a fight making him hold so tightly onto Jungkook's arm it's leaving marks.

Jungkook turns silent, his eyes flashing with sympathy.

"I will never be able to forgive myself if something happens to you," Jimin whispers, tears stinging his eyes.

Taehyung is the first to regroup himself, sitting back down and closing his eyes while taking a deep breath. He then reaches over the table and grabs Jimin's hand, squeezing it tightly.

"You're right," he says in a caring tone.

Jungkook's body seems to relax at that too and he leans back in the seat.

"Sorry... I just really want to see his face in pain," he hisses.

Jimin can't help but giggle at that, seeing his overprotective father fight everything in his body not to run after Yoongi as the boy leaves the diner after having received his food.

"Me too, but not like this," Jimin finishes. He slowly releases the elder's arm, leaning back in his seat as well.

Yoongi really did look like he did back when they first met. It's like they never knew each other, but Jimin will be scarred forever because of this.

He shakes his head, throwing away the thought of that. Maybe, he deep down knew that it wasn't going to last? He was just so excited about finally having something more than a one-night-stand that he got blinded by it. Yoongi was in so much shit and he never noticed?

Whatever.

"But we still need to have a long talk about parties and STD," Jungkook says in a stern voice.

Jimin freezes.
