Jimin's POV

After waking up on Saturday morning, finding myself somehow in Jungkook's warm embrace despite falling asleep facing the opposite way, I was surprised to find that he was already awake and playing with my hair.

I looked up to him with my slightly swollen half lidded eyes, due to the extensive crying yesterday, and he smiled so lovingly at me.

There was a look in his eye. One that showed me how much he loved me and how sorry he still was, but once again that pride in me he showed yesterday when I managed to talk to the head master.

A small tinge of blush made its way to my cheeks and I looked away with a tiny smile, "I both love and hate the look you're giving me right now." I sighed and he frowned, brushing his hand through my hair once more before draping his arm behind me.

"What look?" He questioned and I half expected to look up and see him smirking as though he knew exactly what I was getting at but just wanted to hear me say it.

However, as I met his gaze he truly looked dumbfounded, like he had no clue what I was talking about, "that look in your eye, I can see how proud you are of me, it's sweet but also I feel... I don't know, it's like you're pitying me too much." I mumbled and stroked his bare chest lightly with my pyjama paws.

(I wanted to say sweater paws cause like everyone knows what that is but he's not wearing a sweater so...)

"I don't mean to pity you Jimin, but of course I feel awful, but only because I can't even imagine how awful you must feel and putting myself in your position makes me feel so sorry that it had ever happened. But I don't mean to seem patronising or anything that's the opposite of what I want. You're right about me feeling immense pride in you Park Jimin, you are officially the strongest person I'll ever know."

I sighed as tears pricked at the corners of my already puffy and red eyes, I sniffed slightly and could feel the pout forming on my lips, "I love you Jungkook." Was all I could say as my lower lip began to wobble.

"Oh baby please no more crying your poor body has been through so much of these tears, you'll end up dehydrated, I didn't mean to make you cry again I'm sorry." It was Jungkook's turn to pout now as he wiped my newly formed tears away, clearly feeling guilty for causing them to appear.

"Trust me these tears are a lot better than all he previous ones, you just make me feel so safe and loved and overwhelmed with such a warm feeling which I didn't think would be possible after yesterday. Especially not so soon, but you're just you Jungkook, you really are the best thing to ever happen to me." I cuddled into his chest further and felt him place a kiss on the top of my head as I laid there and filled my mind and senses with everything Jungkook.

I truly believe that if there's any way I will fully heal, Jungkook will be the one to make it happen.

"I need to keep distracting myself Jungkook, that's what it is, now that we've resolved the problem and I've had my closure knowing he will get what he deserves, I just need to stop thinking about it." I sat up beside him and he followed suit.

"Well what do you suggest we do, I would say distractions are a bad idea but we have already faced the problem so I suppose it's all we can do." He shrugged and I took a deep breath, thinking of things that could keep me distracted.

"A party. But not an over the top one, more like a gathering, can't we just invite all our friends here and watch movies and play games and just pretend it never happened." I asked and Jungkook smiled softly.

"That sounds great, do you think we should invite Yoongi?" He asked and I nodded, "invite his friends too, your old friends. I'm sure everyone can be civilised in our home at least. I mean the saying is 'the more the merrier' after all."

Jungkook seemed sceptical but chose not to argue as I watched him message Yoongi, it was a Saturday so everyone should be free and hopefully it'll be a great night.

Jungkook's phone bleeped a few moments later and I read the reply with him;

Yoongi
Hey, I mean if you're sure then a little party sounds great, I'll let the others know and get back to you with who can come.

I grinned before grabbing my phone from the nightstand to message to my group chat with everyone;

Me
Hey guys, I was wondering if you would like to come to Jungkook and I's place tonight for a little party sorta thing, a lot has happened that I have done all I can to fix so now I just want to take my mind off of it entirely.
I'd really love it if you all could make it. 💗💞💗

Oh and P.S. Yoongi and his friends are coming please be civilised. I'd like to say we can all be friends now. 🙏🏼

I got a few replies almost instantly from Kyungsoo, Baekhyun and Kai saying they could come, Baekhyun also speaking for Tae, so now I was waiting on Jieun and Krystal who knowing them were probably already out somewhere together shopping or something.

As the day went on we'd received replies from everyone saying they could all make it, I'm surprised some people from Yoongi's side of friends decided they wanted to come considering they all seemed to hate me even just a few weeks ago...

"I'm gonna take a shower." Jungkook briefly called to me as I was finishing my lunch in the living room.

I took my plate to the kitchen before making my way upstairs and into the bathroom that Jungkook wouldn't be using before also deciding it would be a good idea for me to have a shower as well.

I sill definitely didn't feel comfortable enough to have a shower with Jungkook again. I would feel too exposed and all the vivid memories would fill my brain.

By the time Jungkook and I were ready a few people had already arrived while we were still preparing snacks and drinks.

Tae and Baekhyun were the first there, offering to help us, alongside Jin who had come to work as usual and Jungkook had offered he take the night off but stay for the party as a friend.

I felt it would be great to have a chance to get to know Jin better since he's not really that much older than us, he definitely doesn't act older than us when he's not working anyway.

The one issue I had run into so far was that when a new guest arrived it was time for a nice friendly hug hello, and I couldn't help going rigid and holding my breath each time one of my friends wrapped their arms around me.

I don't think any of them noticed but it did make me feel uneasy, Jungkook had stayed by my side the whole time anyway, constantly reassuring me with his gorgeous bunny smile I had grown to fall in love with.

Yoongi and his friends arrived at the same time, considering there was only 4 of them they could all fit in one car.

Yoongi smiled at Jungkook and I before actually bringing me into a hug as well, somehow I felt less uncomfortable hugging him than I did any of my friends.

I sighed peacefully before before he pulled away from me and wrapped an arm round my shoulder, walking with me toward the living room.

As I entered the room I noticed Taehyung playing with Ddosun on the floor while Baekhyun giggled at them both.

"Jiminie why have you never let me play with your adorable puppy!?" He squealed in a mix between a cuteness overload and anger at me, "sorry TaeTae I didn't know you liked dogs so much?" I grinned as the fluffy white puppy ran circles around my legs.

"No mater how cliche it may seem, I think we should all play a game together... like a truth or dare game but not really, we should just all go round a circle and ask each other questions, get to know each other a little better you know?" Krystal suggested.

She was sat on the largest couch in the room alone, eyeing up Yoongi's friends in a judgemental way, "I think that's a good idea, as long as it helps us get along." I stressed, raising my eyebrows at her making her roll her eyes and move to sit next to Jieun as Hoseok went to take a seat beside her.

I looked awkwardly toward Jungkook who was stood beside me and he just sighed, "sure, let's just all sit and you can help yourself to snacks and drinks, I'll put some music on and we'll all just chat about ourselves and each other." Jungkook smiled as people began taking seats.

He put on a playlist containing a variety of different songs quietly in the background, I think it was his way of trying to eliminate any awkward silence moments.

I sat on my favourite cream leather couch and Jungkook sat beside me.

(Everyone was sat like this:

Those weird things in the bottom corners are lamps... 😅 please ignore my little chubby thumb)

I cuddled into Jungkook's side as Jin began speaking, "hello everyone, I figured I'd introduce myself first since none of you know me except Jungkook and Jimin, I'm Seokjin but please call me Jin. I work for Jungkook but I'm only like 3 years older than all of you so I hope we can be friends." He smiled at everyone and thankfully everyone began introducing themselves to him and not being rude.

We all started chatting together and asking questions to get to know each other better and everything was going great.

I noticed Kai and Kyungsoo cuddling together on the main couch and grinned, Kyungsoo caught my eye and blushed before smiling in embarrassment and looking away making me giggle slightly.

After a while the whole group question activity died down and people started having their own separate conversations, I stood up to get some snacks and Yeri came over beside me to get a drink, "Hey Jimin..." she sighed.

I smiled at her but was surprised to see the sparkle of tears in her eyes, "woah what's up Yeri?" I asked concerned and she shook her head, "agh... sorry I really didn't want to get upset, I just... I'm so sorry Jimin, I cant believe I left you and all the others... sure both groups are now hopefully getting on but I became friends with the people who bullied you Jimin! And I'm so sorry for that, I thought Seulgi was so cool and funny but she's just a bitch. Please forgive me?"

I smiled at her again bringing back the smile on her face, "of course I forgive you Yeri, I know you, and I know what you did is something really out of your character, you're not like that, you were just pulled in by the wrong person. It's okay." We hugged and she grabbed her drink before making her way over to Jieun and Krystal, I assume hoping to make amends with her previous girl friends.

Just as I was about to sit back down with Jungkook, Hoseok got my attention, he was the only person in the room I had never had a conversation with, he was just always present when everything else bad happened.

"Hey Jimin, thank you for inviting me, I just want you to know that I'm really sorry about everything and I'm a different person now, all those months ago when I used to just stand and watch or even join in on bullying you, I was so immature and all I cared about was having Yoongi- and the others! Uh, having everyone to like me... I didn't even stop to think about you and I'm so sorry, I really hope we can be good friends cause you're a really great person."

His bright smile was almost hypnotising, forcing me to smile with him, but I would have happily anyway, "of course Hoseok, it's good to finally meet you, like officially anyway, I'm sure we will be friends!" He nodded happily and thanked me before going back to talk with Namjoon.

As I turned to take my seat I noticed Jungkook chatting with Yoongi, the two of them smiling and laughing.

It made me feel all warm inside, I was glad they were getting along again, especially now Yoongi is the way he is.

I didn't want to disturb their conversation so I instead went over to Tae and Baekhyun who were still cuddling with Ddosun on their couch.

"Tae you really need to give me my dog back." I giggled and he held Ddosun tighter, "neverrrr! I love him to much he's so cute!" He held Ddosun's face between his hands and made him look into his eyes before turning him to look at me, "look at that face!" He spoke in a cute childlike voice making me laugh.

"Yeah he's cute, but he's mine, come here Ddosun!" I called and the dog immediately wriggled it's way out of Taehyung's grasp to dive into my arms on the floor, "Hey no fair, traitor..." Tae glared at him before cuddling Baekhyun, "it's fine, we'll get our own puppy one day, right Baekkie?" He looked up into his boyfriend's eyes with a big pleading smile and large puppy dog eyes.

"Yeah Tae I'm sure we will one day, and then him and Ddosun can be friends-" Tae cut him off in excitement, "OOH! We could get a girl dog and they can make babiessss!!!" He squealed and I gasped covering my puppy's ears.

"Taehyung! He's still a puppy himself don't spoil his innocence!" We all laughed and I picked up Ddosun, putting him back in Taehyung's lap before going back to sit with Jungkook.

"Hey where'd you go?" Jungkook asked as I sat back down, "I was still here dumb dumb I just went to talk to everyone." I giggled and he blushed, "oh sorry Minnie, I was chatting with Yoongi."

"It's fine Jungkookie I'm happy you guys are good now." I grinned and Yoongi turned to smile at me, "I'm so glad you're such a nice human Jimin... anyone else would never forgive He person who tormented them for years, why are you so great?" He asked, seeming to almost be flirting with me.

Jungkook obviously got the same vibe as me when his arm tightened slightly around me, "alright Yoongi just cause we've forgiven you doesn't mean there isn't still a line between friend and more than that." He scoffed and Yoongi laughed.

"I'm kidding I would never hit on you Jimin, don't get me wrong you're great, just, not really my type." He shrugged before looking across the room and winking at someone, I didn't catch who it was but gasped nonetheless.

"Stop winking at people! Can you really not go five seconds without flirting!" I laughed and gently hit his shoulder.

"I can, I just don't want to." He retaliated making me roll my eyes, he stood from his seat and crossed over to Hoseok and Namjoon.

Hmmm... so he probably winked at one of those two.

Namjoon seemed to look around uncomfortably before leaving his seat and Yoongi sat in his place beside Hoseok, oh... okay then...

"Did you ever think Yoongi and Hoseok liked each other when you were friends with them?" I asked Jungkook and he laughed, "what!? No! Yoongi was obsessed with me and Hoseok... oh... I dunno actually maybe Hobi did like Yoongi?"

I watched as Hoseok began to blush and couldn't help but laugh, "I definitely think he does now at least."

I sighed in contentment, looking around at everyone chatting and making friends, "this was an amazing idea I had wasn't it Jungkookie." I asked rhetorically and he nodded, "I'm glad everyone has matured now you know, all those times we fought, we were so petty..." I giggled and he frowned.

"You were never petty Jimin, we were, like, me and Yoongi and the others. You've always been amazing Jimin." He kissed the top of my head making my heart skip a beat and the heat rise up to my cheeks.

"Aish stop being so adorable you cheeseball." I whined and buried my head into his chest, feeling the way he chuckled at my reaction.

"Hey Jungkook can we watch a movie in your cinema room?" Yoongi called to Jungkook and I felt him nod and hum as a yes.

I looked up from his chest to see about half of everyone going to watch a film, Jin was chatting to Namjoon and Baekhyun stayed to chat with Kyungsoo, everyone else had left.

"Thank you for letting me do this Jungkook, I really needed this, just to have all my friends around me, the ones who I know care about me. I love you." I kissed his cheek and he smiled, "you don't need to thank me, thank you for suggesting this, it's been nice. I love you too." He held my chin to give me a small but loving peck on the lips.

I was surprised that the uncomfortable feeling didn't spread through my body at the contact of his lips, I grinned happily before standing up and pulling him toward the cinema room to join the others.
