"I went to where we put our first symbol, I didn't thing that Chinese restaurant was that good"

You can practically feel his beaming smile through the phone. you make your way over to the couch, lay down and stared at the ceiling.

"I told you it was popular muffin"

"I should listen to you more often" you chuckle.

"Ahhh I wish I could've recorded that" he sighs.

To other people, you must've looked confusing as heck. You had literally been crying for the past few hours and then you get one phone call and it's as if nothing had happened.

Still, even though he was talking to you, it wasn't the same as him actually being there. If he was there you more then likely would have been snuggled up to him on the couch, watching some movie.

But this was the next best thing.

"Hey babe" you smile at the name.

"Yeah"

"Are you not tired?"

"No. Why?"

"Because you have been running through my mind all day"

You sigh.

"I see you've started to like cheesy pick up lines" you smile.

"I thought that was good!!" He exclaims.

"Whatever you say Chim Chim" you smile.

"Wait... why don't we video call? I'd get to see your face then!" He suggests.

"I don't know how to do that" you say quietly, embarrassed that you don't really understand how to use your new phone. You can hear Jimin's faint snigger through the phone and your cheeks immediately flash red.

"I'll hang up and-"

"No! No! Don't hang up!" You cut him off in a fit of panic.

"Woah, woah, it's okay" he coos. "I'll ring you back in two seconds. I promise. And then we can video call" your rapid breathing begins to calm.

"O-Okay" you hesitate.

"Alright I'll see you in two seconds" he chimes and you smile. He hangs up. And it hits you.

You've been crying for hours.

You haven't slept.

You haven't changed your clothes.

And your hair is a wreck.

So basically your clothes are messy and wrinkled, your hair is tangled and a mess, your eyes are red and bloodshot , you have deep bags under your eyes and the added mascara that's smudged under your eyes doesn't look too good either.

You immediately hopped up from the couch and made your way to the bathroom. You grabbed a face towel and started to wet it with water as you tried to remove the mascara from your face.

And it was a struggle.

You heard that familiar tone yet again coming from your living room.

You ran into your room and put on your incredibly comfortable outfit that you were going to wear yesterday night. But that was before Jimin decided he wanted to paint the town red.

And he sure as hell did that.

You put your messy hair into a bun so that he wouldn't see how frizzy and messy it was. Your eyes were still bloodshot, but there was nothing you could do about that right now.

You bolted into the living room and picked up your phone with the funny name showing up.

'My lover boy' wants to video chat

            Accept                                     Decline

You pressed the green button and the most beautiful face popped in full on your screen. You couldn't help but stare at his golden locks that you longed to touch. You could see his plaid shirt that he wore and behind him seemed to be some food place. You could see movement behind him but you couldn't hear it as he had earphones in so all you could hear was his delicate breathing as the mic was so close to his mouth.

He immediately smiled showing his crooked tooth that you adored with all your being. You knew he was doing his eye smile but you couldn't see his angel eyes because he was wearing glasses.

"I was beginning to think you wouldn't answer" he chuckled.

"Take off your glasses" you instructed. He smirked as he slowly took off his glasses, revealing his complete eye smile.

A feeling of comfort and home waves through your body as you stare at the gorgeous figure through a screen.

"Better?" He asks.

"Better" You reassure with a smile.

Jimin gets the same wave of comfort that you got a few moments ago. All from a smile. And they both thought the same thing.

That god damn smile.

Jimin then smirks at the idea in his head.

"Hey muffin?"

"Hmm?"

"Did the sun come out? Or did you just smile?" He cheeses.

You facepalm.

"You're really something Park Jimin"

"I know" he says smugly.

You chuckle as you look at him on the screen. He does the same, paying close attention to the details of your face as best he could. His smile falls along with yours with it.

"Your eyes are red" he says quietly.

"So are yours"

"I don't want you to cry over me" he says in a whisper.

"I don't want you to cry either!" You answered back.

"I cried in the bathroom on the plane. Then they kicked me out because there was a line then I snuggled into the scarf you gave me and I cried a little more" he smiled weakly.

"Well I cried in the car home and then we went for dinner which was some sort of a distraction. But then when I came home I sat on the floor for a little while and cried and then I went to bed and got your pillow and cried into that too" you returned the same weak smile.

"I guess we are both cry babies" he laughed.

"Yeah I guess so" you felt the tears brimming on your eyes.

This was all just so overwhelming.

And you were sensitive.

They don't go hand in hand.

"Oh I didn't mean to make you cry muffin" he said immediately feeling bad. And then your tears fell.

"No I'm just really not emotionally stable right now" you joked.

"Neither of us are muffin" he said "but you're not alone, we're going through this together" he smiled.

"But that's thing" you sniffle "I am alone. You're not here" and more tears continued to fall.

Jimin could hear his heart shatter. He would do anything to be with you right now. He just wanted to wrap you in his arms so tight and protect you from anything and everything harmful.

"I know I have been really cheesy today, and I'm about to be cheesy right now but I am always in your heart. Y/n I don't think you realize how much I'm going to miss you. I'm going to go insane. I don't even want to go to sleep because what's the point if I'm not going to wake up with you beside me! I'd rather never sleep again" he states and you feel your heart tightening because you felt the same.

"Or why eat when I don't have you giggling beside me or why drive anywhere if I won't have your hand to hold onto. Y/n life seems useless without you" he explained.

"I feel the same Chim" you smile weakly.

"And I'm not going to say some shit like "you should find someone else and be happy" because fuck that, I'm a horrible, selfish person and I want you all to myself" he said strongly.

"That's okay, I'm alright with that" you beam.

Jimin's face disappears from the screen and you see something written.

'Jimin is on a call'

"I guess I'll wait" You say to yourself.

A few moments later Jimin comes back on screen.

"Hey!!" You chime.

"Ow! Ow!" He vigorously rubs his eyes.

"What? What is it?" You begin to panic.

"I think there's something wrong with my eyes"

"What? Why?"

"Because I can't seem to take them off you" he smirks .

"Jimin! You gave me a freaking heart attack!" You snap.

"I thought I'd say something funny before I go" he smiles. It wasn't a whole-hearted smile. But it was just on show for you.

"Oh, so you're going?" He nods. "Well just so you know, I love you, I really, really do" you state and smile as your heart tightens.

"I love you too! Stay safe muffin"

"You too" you smile weakly.

He yet again makes loads of kissy noises before smiling sweetly and waving. You do the same. And then he ends the call.

"I hope to see you sooner then in three years" you whisper holding your legs to your chest as you sit in the couch in your lonely apartment.

It's been about a good few hours since your video chat with Jimin. You find yourself in a familiar book shop with a list clutched in your hand that Jimin wrote with his favorite books that you apparently 'had to read in the order that they're written' you smiled at the memory as your fingers glide along the spine of the books on a shelf as you skim through the titles in search of the first book.

As you were searching, you felt a quick vibration in your pocket and you took out your phone to see a call from an unknown number. You skeptically press the accept button and place the phone to your ear.

"Hello?"

"Hello, y/n?" You bear the familiar voice.

"Yes?"

"Oh good this is the right number, it's Jiyun"

"Oh, how are you?"

"I've been better dear" she said lowly "but my husband isn't home, so I was wondering would you would meet with me for coffee?"

"Of course I will!" You smile. "When and where?" You inquire.

"Maybe in half an hour? And in that cafe where you work?" She suggests.

"Yeah great! I'll see you then" you smile.

///

When you arrive, Jiyun doesn't seem to be there.

I guess I'll wait, you thought.

You went, sat down at a small table and waited for Jiyun. You took out your phone and scrolled through the pictures you had taken of and with Jimin in the recent while and found yourself giggling at how silly he is. She arrived not too long after.

"I hope you weren't waiting long" she worries.

"Oh no I wasn't" you smile.

She sat down opposite you.

"You haven't slept either?" She said and you nod your head.

"Nope, Not a wink of sleep" you were going to tell her about Jimin not sleeping, but that would just stress her out way more then she needed.

"I'm the same" she states. "I'm exhausted"

"I'm sorry you couldn't say goodbye to him at the airport, Jiyun" you say sympathetically.

"Believe me I wish I was there too. When his dad arrived home, he wasn't exactly happy to see me crying over Jimin leaving. He just doesn't get it" she lets out a frustrated sigh.

You spent the next few hours Jiyun as you both talked about Jimin. But she also took an interest in your political views and how you are doing in school. Jiyun had a coffee and a muffin that she hears so much about off a certain someone. You had a tea, but you only took a few mere sips and it didn't go unnoticed. Jiyun knew that she needed to see you often to make sure that you took care of yourself. She couldn't see you wear yourself out, and she was sure that Jimin wouldn't be able either.

"I hope that this can be a weekly thing" she smiles.

"Every Sunday, 2:30pm, Lava Java cafe" you smile.

"See you next week dear" you wave as she leaves the cafe, you leaving a few minutes later.

///

You sluggishly walk home and climb the stairs of the apartment building as slow as a snail. You eventually arrive outside your door and jingle your keys into the lock. You hear a faint click, you push open your door and enter the apartment.

You slowly walk to the couch and take out the book that was at the top of Jimin's list and started reading it.

But it wasn't that long until you heard a knock at the door. You sit up wearily and walk to the door. You open it slowly to reveal Jackson. You wanted to be alone right now, but you couldn't exactly close the door in his face.

"Hey Jackson" you politely greet him.

"Oh hey y/n, may I come in?" You could see he had something important to say so you step aside and gesture him to come inside. He walks inside and slowly starts to pace around the place.

"Are you alright?" You asked, skeptical of his behavior.

"I need to ask you a huge favor" he starts and you nod for him to continue.

"Will you be my Girlfriend?"

TBC

A/N: I don't know either man🤷‍♀️
