His soft hand made its first appearance on your skin when he held your hand and slowly sneaked it up your waist. He was careful enough when moving his hand up by your chest and towards your neck. He caressed your cheek softly as he pulled back from the kiss. This time for a long time you felt in heaven. As he stared at you, your cheeks were burning as you never had a guy look at you like that.

He admired everything he saw in front of him. All that he hoped was that this love that he felt for you wasn't going to break him like before.

His hand went up your chest and tugged onto the laces of your shirt as he asked, "Can I?"

You nodded, letting him tug onto the laces and your shirt fully opening it. This time you were more nervous than before but you didn't want to stop him. He knew you didn't want to go far so what he did was softly kiss your chest down to your stomach. His hands were on your torso holding onto you still. He leaned closer to your ear and whispered, "You're doing great, baby. I won't undress you any more. Let me cuddle with you so I can show you my love."

He picked you up and when he sat down he sat you on his lap. He had you straddling him and it shocked you since it was the first time you'd ever done that.

"Jimin-"

He pecked your lips to stop you from speaking. He pulled you closer to him and wrapped his arms around your waist, "Stay with me like this."

You found it comfortable so you wrapped your arms around his neck and laid your head on his shoulder. Slowly, you fell asleep.

Not to say, hours went by as you were asleep in Jimin's arms. He fell asleep too and the only thing that woke you up was an awkward coughing from your mom. You and Jimin woke up and noticed her there. Quickly you got off Jimin and fixed the laces on your shirt so it would close.

"Geez if you wanted more time you could've told me," she chuckled. "It's been three hours since I dropped Mina off."

"Three hours?" You asked shocked. "I'm so sorry mom."

"It's fine, princess," she smiled sitting down. "I don't mind if you and Jimin did things together. You're old enough and of course you should enjoy yourself. But are you sure about it? I mean, it's been three years and you still said until recently that you would never want a guy to ever touch you."

You sighed as Jimin just stayed there listening.

"Mom, I want to overcome that. I have to move on somehow. Plus I don't want Mina to grow up without a father. I can't be both for her and it hurts me."

She smiled and held your hand. She looked at Jimin and said, "Jimin, if you really like my daughter then please help her. I don't mind if you both want to do certain things alone. I just want my daughter to be happy."

"Trust me, ma'am. That's all I want," he said.

Your mom suddenly realized something and asked, "You told him about it right? What happened to you."

"Yeah."

At that moment was when she realized how much Jimin meant to you so she asked again, "Are you both dating?"

You gulped but shook your head.

"You should," she said. "I won't get in the middle of you both and your relationship but just know that I'm here for anything you need. I'll be in my room."

"Thank you mom. I'll pick Mina up today if you don't mind."

She nodded and walked away. You sighed, looking down and realized your blouse was put on incorrectly. The laces were in the wrong places because you were in a hurry to put them together. You undid the laces and the blouse opened freely. Jimin observed your every move and then said, "Come here. Let me help you."

You turned to him and stood in front of him. He stood up and grabbed the laces. He tied them together where they belong as the blouse became tighter like it was before. He looked up at your eyes getting lost in them for the hundredth time since he met you.

"You did great," he smiled. "Don't worry. I know I can't force you to do anything which is why I want to be the one who can end up touching you with your consent."

You held his hands and looked up at him as you said, "I'll do it, Jimin. One day I won't get scared. I want to be able to let you touch me without getting those nasty memories back. That's all I want."

He picked up a piece of your hair and put it behind your ear, "Will you let me go further next time?"

You gulped and looked down.

"You don't have to," he said but you shook your head.

"I want to. As long as- I'm not naked. You can touch me all you want. Just not fully naked, please."

He cupped your cheek and pecked your lips, "I wouldn't do it. Only if I've asked you and you've told me that you'd want us to do it."

You chuckled thinking of something, "Sometimes I just see you and I feel like I want to do more than just kiss you but I can't do it myself."

"Don't force yourself," he said. "Let's go little by little."

"Where do we start then?"

"Start by being my girlfriend," he smiled. "Will you be my girlfriend?"

"B-But what about Mina? She really thinks she has a dad."

"Don't I make you happy according to her?" He asked. "She loves me. Just as I love you. She doesn't know about the real world yet so she won't really understand much but just let me explain it to her."

You waited outside with a couple other parents to go inside since they always let parents inside around five. As the parents came inside to pick the kids up you spotted Mina talking to a little girl next to her.

"Hey my princess," you smiled and she ran up to you. You kneeled down and hugged her tight.

"Mama, friend! She's Angie," she said pointing at the girl who was getting called to leave.

"I'm glad you made a new friend my little girl," you picked her up in your arms and that was when she noticed Jimin there.

"Jim!!" She chirped in happiness. "You came!"

"Always," he smiled. He carried Mina with him as you all left to his car. He drove back home and went inside with you. You saw your mom and she signaled you to go talk to her in the kitchen. You left Mina with Jimin as you saw them from the corner of the kitchen since he wanted to let her know what was going on between you both as well.

"Mina, my sweet little princess," Jimin smiled sitting next to her. "I have some good news to share with you."

"Did mommy buy me a pony!?" She widened her eyes which Jimin found adorable.

"Not that big of a news," he chuckled. "Something smaller but very big for me and your mom."

"Am I having a sibling?" She asked, confused, and Jimin shook his head cutely.
