Winter Flower- Younha ft RM

_____________

Everything inside Jimin's body feels numb. His mind continues to roam with my thoughts in a state of shock as he enters his own apartment, processing the events that happened today in a massive blur.

Today was the last day of court.... And the judge made a decision.

Jimin's heartbeat feels slow against his chest as he walks further into his living space, tears beaming his eyes as he cups a hand to his lips, having it all weigh down his shoulders to the sudden turn his life is about to face.

This is really happening...

After many days and nights of fighting and holding on..... This is what it ended up to.

To this..... New chapter.

The front door suddenly closes and Jimin turns around, meeting Jungkook's train of eyes. The stare they share is clouded with so many emotions all bubbling up at once, having it all sink in down their chests.

They did it.....

They're...... Free.

They won.

So wide smiles spread their lips and Jimin screams, "YESSSS!!!!"

"WE FUCKING DID IT!" Jungkook shouts with his whole chest, wrapping his arms around Jimin's waist and lifting him up in the air while spinning him around the apartment; screaming and cheering to their freedom.

Today was the last day of the case and the judge has announced Jungkook not guilty of the charges that were put against him, and has sentence Mr. Park to prison for child abuse, human torture, cult activities, domestic violence, and 1st degree murder of Park Jihyo, Mrs. Park's partner.

He's sentenced for life in prison.

All the way to another country so he won't have to be near those who he has hurt here in Korea.

All in Jimin's favor.

They are finally free!

Jungkook puts Jimin down and presses multiple kisses on his face, both crying in howling in happiness, "We did it angel, we did it!"

Jimin throws his head back, a wide careless smile on his lips with a slight whimper escaping his lips, "We're going to be okay..... We are- Ow... Babe.... My wound kinda hurts... Maybe it wasn't a good idea for you to lift me up."

Jungkook's eyes widen and he looks down to Jimin abdomen in panic, "Oh I'm sorry, I got too excited!" He apologizes instantly and scoops Jimin off his feet, carrying him off to their bedroom. Jimin chuckles lightly, wincing a bit from the pain on his abdomen but it's not a pain that unbearable at this point. It's been two weeks since this court has been in session, three weeks since Jimin's accident, and Jimin is slowly healing from his wound.

However he still takes pain medications but not as often as before just as the doctor instructed. He's able to walk slightly better, but can't do any activities that may involve his muscles to strain or flex for a while. Now that Jungkook is a free man, he will be able to take better care of his baby every second of the day; Who also signed the lease just a few moments ago to the apartment, now being the legal owner of this place as well.

Just as the judge instructed to do as well.

Jungkook lays Jimin down on the bed, helping him off his blazer and unbuttoning his shirt to reveal a white t-shirt underneath, being careful to not hurt him and for him to feel as comfortable as possible.

Jimin suddenly giggles to his chivalry, "Babe I can take care of the rest. You get comfortable, get snacks and let's watch a movie in the living room, sounds like a plan?"

"I don't know, I was kinda looking forward to undressing you," Jungkook taunts smugly but Jimin only shoves him back with a shy smile.

He still shy to his little suggestions, so cute.

"You little hormonal child, go get comfortable!" Jimin snickers as he unbuckles his pants. Jungkook gleams to his angel and suddenly got an idea. Him being the little tease that he is also began to remove his clothes. He started off small, his shoes and socks off before moving to peel off his blazer.

Jimin didn't notice his ravenette's smug intentions, not until he stood up in his underwear alone to get a pair of sweatpants that his breath hitched his throat. Jungkook is peeling off his shirt with back towards him, showing on full display his hard muscles underneath his skin and his tiny waist with the dressed pants still hugging his hips.

Usually Jimin doesn't get arousal from his boyfriend's nudity or little teasing acts, but he does get flustered; a lot. Jungkook's body is a molded work of art, through every contour and dent of his muscles, to the healed scared on his arms and slightly on his waist; Jungkook is just..... Perfect.

In his own way, he's beautiful through Jimin's eyes.

So Jimin draws closer to him while Jungkook fiddles with his shirt, wrapping his arms around his waist and pressing a loving peck on his shoulder blade, leaning his cheek against his neck.

"I love you so much Jungkook," Jimin whispers sincerely, twitching a smile when Jungkook's hands tenderly runs over his, "If we could overcome our suicidal thoughts, depression, dysfunctional family issues, and a court case, I believe we can overcome anything at this point."

At this point, they are just meant for each other.

They always knew it, and they're so glad to have found each other in the perfect moment of their lives.

Even though it was during their darkest hours, when they were desperate to be alone.

A soft giggles comes out of the taller's lips as he turns around, cupping the smaller's cheeks with a small squeal to how happy he feels right now, "We are one tough couple, I'll admit that," He snorts and nuzzles his forehead with Jimin's, his smile slightly faltering, "You know while I was held behind bars.... I thought about this a lot, you know? Us. Imagine the many people in this world who are or went through what we did in life..... With our similar struggles... I don't know, I was reflecting a lot during that time."

Jimin's slightly frowns, feeling a sting of pain in his chest, "Ouch.... I would never want anyone to go through what I did, let alone anything near that.... It's absolute hell."

"I know," Jungkook whispers, closing his eyes softly, "Every suffering and battle is different, but..... I got this sense of hope Jimin, I have hope that whatever struggle many people out there are going through that they can make it to the other side. I wish I could be able to provide a simple dose of happiness, assurance to every single person on the world who are suffering. If I could than I would..... I really would Jimin."

The smaller's lips trembled, thinking of just anyone being in his or Jungkook's situation; Who are or who had suffered many depressing or suicidal thoughts, going through a dysfunctional home where they don't even feel safe or loved anymore, let alone have friends to lean on because they preferred being in their own circle where they only understand themselves and fell in love with the solace of lonesomeness, where they feel like they belong.

Some people don't make it back from it, others continue to fight without the slightest clue as to why when there's millions of reasons that they see for them to end it all.

So many people, like Jimin and Jungkook, who doesn't have it easy and are struggling day by day just to survive in this world.

Who are losing hope...

"I don't want anyone to die Jungkook," Jimin whimpers, sniffling slightly as he began to get flashbacks of his own vulnerable moments, "I can see why that would be an option but..... There's so much more..... To see, to live, to find happiness here. Look at us! Shit I was ready to end it all multiple times, you did too, and.... We are healing.... Is that how life is? Falling, slowly getting back up, healing, and.... Just to fall again?"

A small tear stream down Jungkook's cheek and he inhales a deep breath, "I can speak for the both of us when I say that life is hard....Even if we are just kids through anyone's eyes but our problems are important too, even when they say we are too young to be feeling this way..... We have scars and marks to prove how much we were desperate to feel nothing.... We were so hopeless, but slowly we found our wings..... It didn't happen instantly, nor did it happen because we fell in love, but it took time. It took getting through the hard things, getting through the darkness to find our own light. It was a realization that happened within time, and before we knew it.... We learned how to swim with the waves... I hope many people can realize this, that they are a precious flame in life. When they think no one cares, an angel will come and show them that they are there. Not to judge, but to understand and be a shoulder whenever they need it, just like you became my angel and Yoongi became our angel. Life is only going to grow more difficult, but..... Jimin, to those people out there struggling, I believe in them. They got this.... They can do it...... I want to tell them it's okay to fall, to relapse, to cry if they need to, but that they can do this..... They matter..... We matter....... You understand what I mean?"

By now Jimin is bawling to his passionate boyfriend's words. For some reason, it really felt so..... Relatable to him. It made him more determined with his future, to be an author and write stories that will help people and inspire them through his writing to keep pushing on, to be their own light. To feel in control of their lives and to stomp their foot down to those who tries to degrade them in any way. He knows in life he will continue to go through tough roads and at times he will want to give up, but as Jungkook said..... He can do this. He went through these hard obstacle now, and he can do it again, all to pursuit his own flame.

His own spark of fire.

His own happiness.

And.... It's time to start that new beginning with the end to his previous self.

So with pooling tears, he looks up at Jungkook, "Jungkook..... I have to tell you something."

Jungkook slowly wipes Jimin's tears and pulls his face back to see his eyes, "What is it angel?"

And Jimin cups a hand to his mouth, fighting back a sob to the words he was about to say, "I...... I'm so happy I'm not d-dead," He wheezes, making Jungkook's face scrunch up in agony, "I.. I'm healing on the inside Jungkook..... And I want to start this new chapter with who I am, starting today," And he slowly grabs Jungkook's hand, guiding him in front of the body length mirror by the closet and slowly let's him go.

Jimin stares at his worst enemy, who's staring right back him, and he weakly smiles, "I.... I have pretty eyes."

Jungkook snaps his head at Jimin, a shakily hand cupping his lips with more tears threatening to spill his eyes.

He's doing it....

He's.... Facing himself, his true self.

And Jimin continues, "There's nothing w-wrong with my h-hair. My nose... It's c-cute. My cheeks, now have became more sullen, are a-adorable. I-I love my skin, with the scars too. M-My crooked tooth i-is unique.... My lips is p-perfect for m-my face. My h-height is j-just the way I l-like it," And finally Jimin stands up straight, a proud smile on his eyes through his tears as those hideous thoughts slowly bursts into nothing.

"Lovely.... I am beautiful."

Jungkook stares at Jimin with utter admiration through his teary eyes, fighting back his constant sobs that's fighting to escape his lips. To both of them, this moment right here, is the most precious moment they ever got to live in.

Jimin.... He's accepting himself..... And he loves himself.

His angel.... Now is undefeatable.

He did it....

So Jimin turns to Jungkook, slowly extending a hand to him and interlaces their fingers together, guiding him to face himself through the mirror as well. Through the reflection one could see the various scars on the wrists of their threaded fingers as the hold onto their new hope, now being able to face those scars with clarity than with hatred.

Now seeing their beauty from deep down inside, in their own development in life. Even though each other's presence was a major impact to that, their change was because of themselves. They could've viewed their own self with disgust even while being in each other's presence, but they chose to pursue their own flame.

Their own source of happiness.

And right now, standing in front of this mirror, scars and utter vulnerability out in the open for anyone to see, Jimin and Jungkook felt beautiful.

Together.
