Skipping tiny steps your boy giggled happily as he walked to his Taekwondo class with you. He was more enthusiastic than ever, You thought Jae would have a hard time adjusting to the new change in life with Jimin coming in, but you don't think it will. Jae is literally all over Jimin than with you and he don't even mind it. Jimin loves being with Jae but he turns into a big baby with cute pouts when he craves your lips. You both had to sneak around for quick pecks like silly teenagers who are secretly dating. Not going to lie, it certainly do give a thrill to your heart and maybe that's one of the reasons you held back telling anyone about you and Jimin yet.

"Ok hun. Here we are." You say letting go of your kid's hand to crouch down to his level. "Momma will come pick you up in two hours ok. Then we can go to uncle Hobi's place." You say to him, pressing your forefinger on his tiny dimple on his right cheek that's barely visible. 

"Uncle Hobi?" He asks smiling wide as he like Hoseok too. He always calls Hoseok the noisy uncle and Jin the funny uncle. Jae tends to laugh a lot with those two around. 

" Yes, Uncle Hobi. Your noisy uncle." You confirm fixing his little yellow suit. "Now go in and do good. You are the best." You cheered him.

"I'm the best. I will protect Momma." He cheered back, punching the air with his tiny fist. You chuckled and kissed his cheek. "I love you hun."

"I love you Momma. Bye!" He kisses your cheek and hops into the class as he waved.

After seeing him off, you quickly head back to Jimin's place wondering if he was searching for you. He was asleep so you didn't wake him before leaving.  Walking into his apartment you looked around and it was just the way you left it.

Turning your body towards his bedroom, you entered and smiled the moment you see your boyfriend still fast asleep, lying on his stomach with his limbs spread out, occupying nearly half part of the bed. The warm blanket is covering the lower part of his body, his face facing to the side, his thin grey t-shirt looking a little twisted around his shoulder after being stretched here and there as he moves around in his sleep.

You sit at the side of the bed, leaning down to his side, whispering to him, "Morning, Jimin.. Time to wake up." Jimin responds to you with a sleepy mumble, covering his face back into the pillow, and you rub his back as you keep on wooing to get him to get off the bed. "Come on, baby. You need to get up."

"Whyyy....?" he whined, turning his sleepy face to look at you. "It's Saturday, we're supposed to be sleeping in."

"Yeah, but we agreed on coming over to Hobi's place today. Our friends are meeting up remember?"

"Who the hell would ever make such agreements on a Saturday, It's our only free day together?"

"You did," you answered him with a grin. "You said we'll hang out today and Hobi invited all of them too. You can't back out now."

He groans while rubbing his sleepy face with his hands. He looks up at you, his hooded eyes staring at you a few seconds too long, his lips pouting while he takes a long deep breath.

"What's wrong?" you asked him, tilting your head to the side with your eyebrow raised.

He turns to his side, gripping your wrists and pulling you closer to him until you fall on his chest with a gasp. Before you even try to struggle to get yourself off the bed, he pulls you on your waist, attaching your body into his, while lifting the blankets off of him before pulling it back up to make sure your body lays underneath the blanket together with him.

"What are you doing?" You ask as your cheeks flushed and heart fluttered.

"Changing plans," he answered with a deeper voice. His hands are wrapped around your waist and his forehead leaning on yours. "We are not leaving this bed today. Nu-uh."

You giggle, letting him wrap both your bodies underneath the fluffy blankets before hugging you tightly. "Okay then," you asked him, "What do you propose we should do today?"

"We stay in and cuddle all day. That's all," he grins at you, showing you his crescent eye smile.

"Our friends will be waiting for us..."

"No, they won't," he answered quickly before biting his lip, keeping his eyes on yours with a hopeful stare. You can practically read his mind through the light emitting from them, say yes, just say yes.

You exhale a sigh, and begin to let your body relax under his touch with his fingers circling lightly on your back. The idea of staying in with your boyfriend all day sounds marvelous. You will miss him a lot after you move back tomorrow to where you belong. You pout at him and shake your head.

"No can do. Vinny and Jo will kill me if I don't break the news to them anytime soon. Also I promised Jae we will go there and he looked excited." You say and Jimin groan as he pulls you more close to playfully bury his face into your neck, making you giggle.

"Where is Jae? Let me talk to him." Jimin suggests.

"Well he is at his Saturday class. I just got back after dropping him." You say and Jimin pulls back to look at you. He finally sees you dressed up and then squinted his eyes at you. "Why didn't you wake me up? I would have dropped him."

"It's ok. It's not even that far. Plus, it's your sleep in day so I thought it would be nice to let you have the best of your sleep. We better be prepared. And beware of Vee. She will give you god knows how many warnings." You chuckle wondering how she'll react.

"Oh gosh! Don't even remind me. I already got one and she even threatened my sleep and the future of my little guy." Jimin says making you arched a brow at him.

"You told Vee?"

"No. Not this. It was when she confronted me about my feelings for you long back." He answers.

"She did? When?" You ask as this information was new to you.

"At Kook's pool party. And I know what you are thinking.. but it's me who told Vee not to tell you anything. I wanted things to be said from my side first And she thought that was the best." He says and you understood. You didn't mind it because you know Vinny is a promise keeper. And now it makes sense why she was so confident and kept pushing you to embrace your feelings and go for it. 

"I see. But still.. keep your distance from me till I tell them about us. Got it?"  You say and he made a puppy face. He looked too cute as he was puffy and sleepy. You pecked his lips and asked again, "Got it?" And he gave a nod pulling you back to his embrace. He rested his head on your chest and you ran your hand through his hair. He hummed and you smile as you remained like that for a while.

"Was it just me? Or did you just call me baby earlier?" Jimin asks out of nowhere and your fingers freeze on his scalp. Your cheeks heated a little bit as your smile grew. It was the first time you called him that and it came so naturally that you didn't even find it off. 

"I think it's just you." You say feeling shy but Jimin knew better. You could feel his grin even though you couldn't see it.

"I think not." He says in a teasing tone and you bit your bottom lip for a brief second. You wondered if he found it awkward, and just as if he heard your thoughts, he cleared your doubt. "I liked it. You should use it more often." 

☆★

Sipping on the cold drink that Hoseok's girlfriend served, you sat in the corner for some shade as you all were gathered in his spacious apartment terrace. Basking in the sun was not your thing and you didn't mind some alone time to gather your nerve to tell your friends about your relationship status. It's been thirty minutes since you arrived at Hoseok's place and pretending that you were not crazy over Jimin was something really hard to do. Being so close to him the past few days you've grown a deep attachment to him and looking at Jimin from afar you could say that he feels the same as well. 

You looked over at Ash who was smiling sweetly as she was wrapped up in Hoseok's arms. They seemed like those lovey dovey happy couples. You haven't seen Hoseok looking at a girl like how he looks at Ash before. His eyes full of joy and admiration, smile so bright and happy. It's similar to how Jimin look at you these days so you could tell how Ash is feeling when she stares back at her boyfriend. 

"I swear something is up with that idiot grandpa." Jin who was few feet away from you commented pointing to the opposite side as he spoke to Taehyung and Jimin.

"Who? Yoongi?" Jimin questioned raising a brow not understanding what his friend meant.

"Who else. Just look at him.. sitting there smiling to himself as he stares into his phone screen." Jin says making you look up at Yoongi's direction. And just like Jin said, Yoongi was smiling softly as he was busy typing away on his phone.

"I think he found himself a girl." Taehyung added making Jin's eyes go wide. "That grumpy.. picky grandpa.. I don't think so." Jin shakes his head.

"Why not. It's highly possible." Jimin backed up Taehyung's comment.

"Yeah right. That man is Anti Romantic." Jin stated and Taehyung disagreed to annoy Jin as he was slowly getting into a worked up argument mode. It's fun when Jin gets annoyed because he argues as if he is in a rapping battle, getting all red with big eyes and pouty lips. You have seen it once and it really did crack you up just like how others mentioned. Wanting to see it again, you waited till Jimin and Taehyung hit Jin's nerve with an amused smile plastered on your face. 

It didn't take long and as expected, Jin cracked and started scolding then as if he was rapping. That burst you into fits of soft chuckles. And that grabbed Jimin's attention and he turned his head to look at you.  Breath slightly hitching, You stared at each other for a couple of beats and then his face broke into one of those heart stopping grins. You almost groaned, heat racing through your veins. That smile was mine–You were going to wager that no one had made Park Jimin smile like that in a long, long time. You felt greedy and possessive of that beautiful smile. You grinned back.

You noticed your boyfriend taking out his phone from his pocket and broke eye contact with you briefly to type something. Seconds later, your newly replaced phone vibrated in your hand. Looking down at the screen you let out a breathy chuckle as it was a message from Jimin.

My Jimin - Gimme a kiss

As soon as you read it, your eyes widened and looked up at your demanding lover who is crazy for your kisses. You thought he was just joking to tease you, but his expression said otherwise. He sure did have a playful smirk but his eyes were longing and serious.

You - What! Now?

My Jimin - Yes. Now. I want one. fast.

You - R u crazy! Jae and our friends are here.

My Jimin - It's your fault. Why did you smile at me like that. Now put my heart to rest.

Your cheeks almost turned color but you kept your cool, trying not to give in to his charms. 

You - Fine! I won't smile at you ever again. 

My Jimin - Oh come on Love.. Idc how, just want 1! 

You read the message and bite your lower lip thinking of a way to kiss your needy man. Moments like this, you just wished you could just walk up to him and kiss him like how you wanted, but you didn't want to confuse your boy just yet. You looked up at Jae who was seated on the floor next to Jungkook and Vinny. On your way here, Jimin bought Jae a toy and after getting here, Jae asked Jungkook to assemble it for him. Vinny was reading out the manual and giving directions to Jungkook as your boy curiously stared at the toy.

Everyone seemed to be distracted in their own thing, so when you turned back to look at Jimin, he was still waiting for your move. Sighing lightly not knowing how to make it happen, you averted your eyes to the ground. Should I just give a flying kiss? I mean, he did say he didn't care how and he just wanted a kiss. It could be an indirect kiss as well. You had a talk with yourself as you stared at your shadow on the ground.

Suddenly a video trend on Tiktok that you had seen before popped to your head. You got a good look at your shadow and then at Jimin's which was a little bit close to yours. Smirking, you got closer by taking two to three steps to your side till your shadow was touching Jimin's. Then looking down at your phone, you sent him a quick text.

You - Look down at our shadows.

You watched him read the text and with furrowed, confused eyes, he looked down at the shadows just like you asked him to. After having a look, he looked up at you not understanding what you are up to. Smiling, you showed your shadows again with your eyes and when he looked down this time, you pouted your lips slightly and kissed his possible cheek using your shadow to his. 

You - There you go. I just gave a kiss. 

Jimin's head snapped up back at you and a mischievous smile played his lips. It fluttered your heart but still you quirked a brow at him like you won something.

My Jimin - That's not fair.

You - You didn't specify. This shadow kiss is all you'll get. 

Jimin's lip twitched and bit his bottom corner lip to prevent himself from grinning. Your lips curled up seeing it. He was about to type another message but Vinny's loud 'OW' and 'That hurt!' grabbed your attention. She was rubbing her head trying to control the curses that was threatening to leave her mouth because of Jae. And Jungkook was repeatedly saying sorry as he tried to hold back his laugh while slightly rubbing his elbow. From what you gathered somehow Jungkook had accidently knocked Vinny's head with his elbow.

"Babes, you gotta damn thick head. I literally felt a zap." Jungkook snorted and Vinny threw the balled up manual at him, earning soft chuckles from you and few others.

"You are so mean." Vinny hissed giving a sideway glance at Jae before flipping him off since she couldn't curse.

"Uncle Kookie.. You should kiss Aunt Vee's head when you hit it." Jae says suddenly peaking yours and Jimin's attention.

"That's right Uncle Kookie. Learn something from our little Jae. This boy knows better than your grown ass." Vinny fake glared at Jungkook and Jungkook just rolled his eyes. "That's not necessary. A simple sorry is enough." Jungkook said to annoy Vinny.

"But Mr. Angel kisses Momma." You boy says making it feel like he just dropped a bomb. Your eyes grew wide and everyone who heard that zapped their heads in yours and Jimin's direction. The passed few weeks you and Jimin had been on not so good terms in your friends eyes. The fact that he saved you and you have been living with him did come in a surprise but they never thought you and Jimin cracked opened the thick wall between you and him. When you both came in, you did pretend as if you don't talk to each other much and did get weird looks but nothing serious till now.

"What? Jimin kisses your Momma?" Jungkook asks to see if he heard right and Jae simply nods too busy looking at the toy in his hand. "Before coming here too." He adds and here you thought Jae didn't see when Jimin pecked your forehead before leaving.

 You felt your body freeze for mere seconds. You didn't dare look in Jimin's direction, instead look the other way to catch Joanne's curious questioning eyes. You turned your head again and this time you gulped as you got caught to the devil herself. Vinny was already on her feet as she stomped towards you. Crap! You thought and overheard Jin and Hoseok teasing Jimin and asking what's going on.

Soon your hand was grabbed by Vinny as Joanne got next to you as well. "Y/n.. Come with us please." Vinny gave a scary fake smile which made you want to gulp again. She tugged at your hand and pulled you with Joanne following. While passing Jungkook, it was your turn to give him the Save Me! eyes. But that stupid monkey just gave an amused smile and winked at your crisis. Jerk! Never saving his ass ever again! You thought to yourself as all three of you got inside away from the others. 

"Care to explain what that was?" Vinny asks narrowing her gaze, hands folded in front of her while Joanne rested hers on her hips.

"What?" You ask pretending which was a bad move.

"Don't what us. I knew something was going on." Joanne wiggled her brows slightly. She had an amused look unlike Vinny. She was surprised and a bit mad, probably because you kept it from her.

"Look.. before you both get mad I was going to tell you two today, I swear. I was waiting for us to meet up and Vee.. you just got back yesterday and I didn't have my phone to have a proper conversation about it." You rambled to defend yourself.

"Tell us what? Are you two dating?" Vinny arched a brow and then kind of smiled seeing your reddened face.

"Um.. Yes." You say and their mouths fell open.

"See.. I knew it. You were dating him when you came to pick Jae that night right? No wonder you were blooming like a flower." Joanne almost clapped getting excited.

"Bitch.. How could you not tell us such great news. And how the fuck did it even happen. I was only gone for fucking four days and you are dating!!!" Vinny exclaimed.

  "Y-yes. Are you mad?" You ask and she just gave you 'Are you crazy' wide eyes.

"Bish! Why would I be mad. I'm freaking happy and excited. Come here! Finally.. Thank god! You got your man." Vinny pulled you into a hug and Joanne joined making it a group hug as she cheered on. You let out a relieved sigh and then smiled brightly.

"Ok now that's enough. But you deserve a beating for keeping it." Vinny says slapping your arm. "Ow!" You rubbed your arm and then all three of you chuckled.

"So.. tell us, How did it happen?" Joanne encouraged and you gave a nod. You were ready for this as you knew this was coming. While sharing the story both your friends were going Awe and damn. You did feel a bit shy as it's been a while and you were feeling silly and nice. Things you haven't felt in a damn long time. Jimin was not helping you because when you looked in his direction, you saw him smirk seeing your flushed face. You knew that he took a guess about what's going on, so he just winked making you more flustered.

Seeing your cheeks turning red, Vinny and Joanne looked up to follow your gaze. "Oh boy! This bish is love struck." Vinny says and Joanne nodded before adding, "Totally."

"So does Jae know?" Joanne ask and you shake your head. "No. Not yet. We are planning to tell him tomorrow. I'm a bit worried.. I don't know how he will react and how he will adjust to the change." You say honestly.

"Trust me Y/n.. There is nothing to adjust. You three are already together just fine. And Jae will accept Jimin as he loves that guy. He will be happy. Just make sure not to let your shit mess with the kid." Vinny tells you seriously.

"Yeah. Jae loves Jimin and he is very happy with him. So yeah.. I thinks it's safe too." Joanne adds and you nod.

"They sure do like each other a lot. I did talk about all the possibilities when it came to Jae and we came to an agreement that no matter what, we will handle stuff without affecting Jae. Jimin is very thoughtful. He knows what he is getting into and he didn't want to hide anything from Jae. He said he wants to express himself openly and not lie." You say with a smile.

"As expected from Jimin. I'm telling you babes.. he is a damn keeper." Vinny says and you blush again.

"Oh! What about Kiya? How did Jimin handle that?" Joanne asks out of curiosity and you stilled.

"Ahh.. Actually.."

"Actually what? Don't tell me you didn't tell Jimin what that bitch did to you and him." Vinny squinted her eyes at you but you didn't move or say anything. Your silence and pressed lips gave away the answer.

"You gotta be kidding me. Y/n... you have to tell him. Why didn't you?" Joanne questioned and Vinny shook her head in disappointment. 

"I couldn't guys. Kiya is his friend and it was my fault after all. I let her get to me. Also.. I was not ready for the questions that would come after when I told Jimin about Kiya's and my exchange. He will be curious about my past and I didn't want to loose my precious moments with him just yet." You tell them. Joanne didn't know most of it but she understood and so did Vinny.

"I get it. But I think you should at least warn him Y/n. Kiya is toxic and she might approach you two again." Vinny warns and you knew it.

"But I don't know how to do that Vee. Maybe later I'll think of a way. I'll just keep my eye out till then." You say and both of them sighed. They didn't want to pressure you or freak you out so they just backed off on it.

"Fine! Now lets get back. And you two don't need to pretend anymore." Joanne says and you chuckle.

"lets go."

 You finally turned to head back with Joanne on your side. Vinny followed with pursued lips and creased brows. She could understand the whole thing and wanted to give you your own time, but she was not feeling good about Kiya. Vinny didn't want you backing out again if Kiya pulled some kind of shit. And she believed that Jimin should know the stunts Kiya tried to pull. Vinny didn't want to go behind your back but she couldn't just stand on the side and let anyone mess things for you. Vinny felt happy and at ease seeing your love filled smiley face. You looked happy and light. Something that Vinny thought she would never ever see. 

Sighing again she turned her head to look at Jimin who was now with Jae and Jungkook playing with the toy that they assembled. A smile touched her lips seeing Jae so lively as well. Jimin looked at Jae with lots of love and she couldn't let anything hurt you three ever again. So walking to where her boyfriend was she cleared her throat. "Babe can you please take Jae and distract Y/n for few minutes."

"Ur.. I totally don't mind.. but why?" Jungkook raised a brow and Jimin gave a suspicious look.

"I need to talk to Jimin for a bit and Y/n doesn't need to know. Please.. can you do that?" She asks again. "Sure." Jungkook gives a nod not wanting to question any further as he could take a guess what it'll be about. He smiled at Jimin giving him a pat to his shoulder and then turned to Jae. "Come on Champ. Lets go annoy your Momma. It's been a while." 

Vinny watched Jungkook take Jae and walk away to you and then looked up at Jimin. She gestured with her head to follow her and turned to walk back inside. Seeing that it was something about you and something  serious. Jimin looked in your way before heading in, only to see you already fighting with Jungkook. Smiling softly he followed Vinny in.

"What's up?" Jimin asks as they were out of sight.

"Ok.. First of all congratulations! I'm so happy that you guys finally got together after everything. Second of all.. you better remember my warnings.. do not hurt my friend or else you will see my wrath, I swear." Vinny started off and Jimin gave a firm nod with hands up in defense.

"Trust me.. Hurting Y/n will never happen. I will make sure to protect her and keep her happy.. also.. Thanks." Jimin smiled.

"Good. Because she sure will need some protection.. Actually both of you do.. specially from your so called friend Kiya." Vinny frowned and Jimin furrowed his brows, bit in confusion.

"What's that suppose to mean?"

"I'll tell you.. But first promise me that you won't ask Y/n and deal with this on your own. I know this is something that should come from her and knowing her she will take her own time to tell this to you because one she worries about your friendship with that snake. And two.. it's a bit sensitive and it's about her past stuff. She wanted to tell you this but she said she needed time to gather herself."

"Yeah. She promised to talk with me but she wanted to take slow. But what happened?" Jimin was getting eager to know.

"First Promise me you will act like you don't know anything and wait for her to say something first." Vinny asked again.

"I don't know Vinny, I don't want to keep anything from her. But seeing you, I feel like it's something I should know sooner than later.. or else you wouldn't be here. So I'll respect that." Jimin says and she gave a relieved look.

"Yes.. it is. But I won't tell you anything in detail since it's not my place to say it all, specially about Y/n's life. But I will tell you this.. Y/n was falling for you and she was happy and ready to start something with you after Jae's birthday. But she changed her mind because Kiya approached her and scared her away from you. She poked at Y/n's insecurities and looked down on her so she ran away from her happiness.. she ran away from you. And knowing what kind of a snake Kiya is.. I know for a fact she will try to come in between you two again. It's toxic Jimin. And I thought that you should know. I don't want anyone hurting my best friend. She doesn't deserve that." Vinny blurted everything out and looked up to see Jimin's clenching jaw and hardened face. He seemed to be thinking of something and he looked mad.

"Jimin?" Vinny called out of worry and Jimin looked at her.

"Thanks for letting me know Vinny. Everything makes sense now. I'll deal with Kiya." He says making Vinny a little bit worried.

"Please don't ask Y/n about this. I just told you so that you would be on alert if something goes wrong again or if Kiya would try to do something again."

"I won't Vee. Don't worry. I can understand since it's something sensitive to Y/n. I will wait for her to come to me. And I'm not curious about her past. I don't mind it at all. I just want her and her heart. Kiya won't be a problem. I'll keep an eye out. Thanks again for this Vee." Jimin gives a tight smile and Vinny nods.

"No prob. Now lets go before your girlfriend starts to search for us." Vinny nudged her head towards the terrace but Jimin didn't move.

"You go ahead. I need a minute. I'll be right out."

"Sure. Just act cool and also no need to pretend anymore." Vinny gives a sly smile making Jimin snort and then left.

Jimin pulled his phone out to send a text to Kiya, he was beyond mad. He couldn't believe that Kiya was the cause of your sudden change. And like and idiot he was nicely spending time with her in front of you. No wonder you looked hurt and kept asking about Kiya. He didn't even know what she told you but he didn't care. Kiya crossed the line just by approaching you and Jimin had to put her in place. 

Jimin - Where are you rn?

It took less than five minutes and Jimin got a reply.

Kiya - At home.

Jimin - I'll be there in few. Come down to the parking lot.

Kiya - Are you serious? Come up.

Kiya - How long is few?

Jimin wanted to roll his eyes but still he replied trying not to loose his cool. Her place was not that far away from Hoseok's, So he knew he had enough time to go and make it back. He needed to get off the things tightening his chest so that he could be normal around you.

Jimin - No. Come down. It'll take fifteen mins max

"There you are." Your sudden voice kind of startled Jimin. He shoved the phone inside his pocket and turned to you. 

"You scared me. " He says giving a smile to you as your warm eyes locks with his. You smiled back making Jimin's heart skip a beat. Your smile is absolutely one of the things he loves about you. And he got to make sure it never fades away.

"Why were you jumpy? Everything alright?" You ask getting closer and Jimin immediately wrapped his arm around you to pull you to him.

"No. Not really."

"Why? What's wrong?" You ask in a concerned voice. Your eyes had worry in them and Jimin hated to lie to you. He didn't want a relationship based on lies.

"I.. I kind of have to step out for a while. I need to discuss something important with Kiya. But will that be ok with you?" He asks hoping that you wouldn't get upset. To his surprise you just smiled and gave a nod while wrapping your own arms around him loosely.

"If it's important then you should go. Will you be back?"

"Yes. It won't take much time. I'll come back soon as possible." Jimin smiled back slightly.

"Ok then. Get going now. We'll wait." You say and Jimin's forehead slightly creased.

"Just like that? I did tell you it's Kiya right?" You kind of chuckled at that and then nodded. "Yes you did. So what.. You are mine now and she don't bother me anymore since I trust you." Jimin's half smile widened at that and he leaned down to give a quick peck to your lips.

"You should. I'll go now so that I could come faster." He says and you peck his lips back. "Come back safe."

☆

As Jimin parked in front of Kiya's apartment building, she was already standing near the entrance. Seeing his car, she walked over with a smile but Jimin got out of his car with a visible frown on his face.

"Hey.. What brings you to me on a weekend. This is surprising." Kiya sounded chipper and that  annoyed Jimin more. Without knowing anything he accepted her apology after the sudden burst when she found about you and him. Now that he thinks of it, he couldn't help but see how fake everything had been.

"Why did you do that?" Jimin straight away got to the point as he couldn't hold it in anymore. He treated Kiya like a friend, even though she made things uncomfortable sometimes, he believed her , believed that she changed and is a better person now. But her bratty side never left, it turned into something toxic.

"Do what?" Kiya asks, her smile fading and forehead creasing as she took in Jimin's pissed off serious face.

"Approaching Y/n and stopping her from coming to me." Jimin spoke in a stern hard voice as he now stood in front of Kiya. 

"Wow.. Did she really tell you on me." She scoffs folding her hands in front of her. Her action just ticked Jimin off more.

"She didn't tell me anything because she respected our friendship. But you.. You had no right to come in between me and Y/n, Kiya. You just disappointed me. Why on earth would you act like that?" Jimin kind of raised his voice.

"Disappoint?" She scoffs again, "Jimin, you should be thanking me. What I did was for your own damn good. I tried my best but seems like it just went to waste." She says pointing a finger at Jimin.

"And who are you to decide that Kiya? And why do you even care? Who I date, Who I see is non of your business." Jimin said sharply.

"Are you really asking me why I care? Are you dumb or what? Can't you tell or are you just acting as you have no idea so that you could avoid me?" Kiya threw questions one after another stating the obvious and Jimin was no idiot. He understood it. Instead of replying he just stared at her thinking of a way to come around it. But Kiya didn't wait for it as she continued.

"I can't believe you are doing this right now after so many years. How can you do this to me Jimin? How can you go for her out of all the people who actually tried hard to get to you for years. Y/n is no good for you Jimin. You don't even know about her and someone like her don't deserve you."

"And you think that you do? Kiya you are just a friend to me. I made it clear from day one back in the days. Nothing changed. And I was stupid to think you are different and better now. Your sick behavior is still the same. I know you used to do similar shit like this in past but I didn't give a damn because I was never interested in any of those girls. But this time it's different and I'm not ok with what you did." Jimin is riled up and it was clear. But Kiya was not backing away either.

"I did what I had to Jimin. It was all for you. You don't even know Y/n properly. Do you even know anything about her past and where she is from. She is no fucking match for you."

"I don't give a fucking damn about her past Kiya. I know enough about her. I know she is the most purest and kind person I have met in a while. And all that matters is that I need her and I need her to be happy. I don't want anything or anyone upsetting her. I don't know what you said to her but because of your actions we both suffered. And I don't want it happening again, do you understand? I want you to stay the hell away from Y/n and me." Jimin warned making Kiya snicker.

"You gotta be kidding me. Are you seriously going this far for someone who had opened their legs to give birth to who knows.. maybe another low life druggies kid. She is not from a good background Jimin. She was a fucking orphan who grew up in the ruts." 

"Watch your fucking mouth Kiya. I will not tell you again." Jimin growled under his breath as he glared. "You will not disrespect my woman and that kid I adore so much ever again. And I don't fucking care about her past. Do not make me repeat. Just mind your own damn business." 

"Adore? Lets get real Jimin.. It's not like you will accept to give your last name to that excess baggage. You maybe all attracted to her since she is easy. It'll be fun for the time being since it's a MILF like experience.. But you will never have a future with her." She says in mocking tone.

"Shut your trap. Just be thankful that you are a girl and not a guy right now. I will not tolerate your shit anymore. And for your information.. Yes. I will give my name if it's possible and make them mine when the time comes." Jimin clenches and unclenches his fist as he tried to not stoop so low to her level. Kiya angrily glares at Jimin as her lip twitched. Jimin had enough of this bullshit so he backed away from her. He was so damn angry but he was not going to let that get to him. 

"Remember this Kiya. Even if you are the only option I have left in my life.. I would still never date someone like you. You don't even deserve my friendship. Hereafter we will have a professional work relationship only, nothing more.. nothing less." With that said Jimin got in his car and drove away from her place.

He was beyond upset in the moment. Seeing Kiya's behavior and the things she said, he could only guess the things she said to you. Jimin wasn't feeling good. He is a bit worried about you. He knows you well enough and what Kiya said about your past didn't bother him one bit. He very much figured the orphan thing when you vaguely brought it up because of Pokey, and he didn't mind it at all. He wasn't ready to let anyone separate you from him ever again and there was only one way to do it. 

Pulling over at Hoseok's place, Jimin hurried up to the terrace. He looked around and you were not there to be seen but your best friend was. Instead of going to look for you, he went over to Vinny. "Hey.. I need to talk to you." Jimin says and Vinny gives a knowing nod.

"How did it go?" Vinny asks once they were out of sight. She knew that Jimin went to deal with Kiya because you told her about Jimin's sudden important meeting with her. 

"Not good but I took care of it. She will not be a problem but Vinny.. I need to tell Y/n about this. I know I said I will keep it with me and promise but I can't lie to her Vee. I don't want our relationship to have lies and pretends. Also I sensed that Kiya might have said things that did damage her. So I can't sit aside and do or say nothing. I need to assure her, I need to assure Y/n that everything will be ok and we will make it together. I can't let her have insecurities and doubts Vee. So can I please do that?" Jimin asks earnestly in one go to let her know what his heart is feeling.

Vinny's lips stretched into a smile and gave an approving nod, "I'll be happy if you do that. Go ahead and give all the assurance you can offer Jimin. I won't ever stop you. And thankyou for believing in Y/n and choosing her." That made Jimin's lip curve up a little.

"Always. Now let me go find her. And please take care of Jae for me." Jimin says and Vinny gives a thumbs up to let him know that she got it under control.

Seconds later Jimin spotted you coming out from the hallway. Jimin took long strides to get to you faster. You snapped your head up and smiled so brightly seeing him and that tugged his heart. "You came." You say in a cheery voice.

"Of course. I did say I'm coming back, didn't I?" He gave a small smile and you rolled your eyes playfully at his remark.

"Yes you did. So was the matter resolved?" You ask and Jimin stiffened a bit and then he let out a sigh. He looked at your waiting eyes.

"Kind of.." Jimin trails off taking your hand in his before continuing. "Look love, I need to tell you something honestly but I want you to listen to me and try to understand what happened. And please don't go after Vinny, she meant no harm." He says making you more curious.

"Okk.. What did you two do?" 

"Well.. Vinny just wants us to be happy so she kind of warned me about Kiya. She didn't tell me what happened exactly but she told me that you backed out on us because of Kiya. That's all I know and that's more than enough. You don't have to tell anything more if you are not comfortable or not ready. Vee told me that you will tell me eventually so I will wait. But I had to confront Kiya about this. That's why I went out." Jimin says taking in your mixed expressions.

"W-what did she say?" Your voice was uncertain.

"Just nonsense that I don't give a damn about. I made sure to put a distant between us. So if she ever approaches you ever again please tell me. Can you do that? I really don't want you running away again. whatever comes, lets just face it together. I need you to know that you are perfect for me. And I'm so happy to have you and Jae in my life. So don't listen to others. Just believe in me. Ok?" Jimin laced his fingers with yours and held them tightly as he waited for your answer.

You looked him in the eyes, a bit lost in your own thoughts. It took you few seconds but you finally gave a nod, breaking your lips into a smile, "I told you Jimin, I won't be that dumb ever again. I will not run away again."

"Good. And I'm sorry for what Kiya did." he pulls you to him and runs his thumb over your cheek.

"It's not your fault Jimin. I'm sorry too.. for not telling you about this. I just didn't know how to do that." 

"It's ok. Vee had you covered. Hope you are not mad at her." Jimin wonders.

"Nah! I know that she was trying to help and did it out of care. I'll probably do the same if I see a threat in her way. And Thankyou for being honest with me."

"I will always be honest with you Y/n." He looks deeply at you and your eyes shined.

"I will do so too. Just give me time to open up." You kind of plead with your eyes. 

"Take your time. There is no rush." Jimin presses a kiss to your forehead and wrap you in his arms. Basking in his warmth, you smiled and relaxed your heart a bit till you are actually ready to talk about your painful past.
