I had to drink a raw egg the other day.

It was a traumatic experience.

///

"Wow, you've really outdone yourself" you said and chuckled as you looked at Jimin's creation in front of you.

He came to visit you at work again today.

It was refreshing to have the both of you slip back into your old routines, but this time you were a lot happier.

He walked behind the counter and started to make himself an ice-cream sundae. He layered different flavours of ice-cream as well as whipped cream and chocolate sauce.

And of course the iconic cherry on top.

"I can't wait to devour this" he looked at his masterpiece, practically drooling as he did so.

"Go ahead buddy" you laughed. "Just don't come crying to me when you have a stomach ache" you warned.

"You won't take care of me when I'm sick?" He pouted jokingly.

You looked at him with a look as to say "are you serious?" Due to the fact that you have taken care of him before while he was sick.

"Considering the fact that I've done it before, I'm pretty sure you know the answer to that question" he just smiled cheekily at you, loving the idea of you taking care of him.

He began to dig into his sweet treat as you continued to work away diligently.

You waited for your shift to finish so that you and Jimin could leave.

You both had finished your midterms earlier in the week but had to remain at the college as you had to work all week, but you were nearly finished your shift.

You were excited to have a little while off, you could finally have some proper alone time at home with Jimin.

He was driving you two back home for the break, he felt it nice to do so and you couldn't agree more.

"Hello y/n" Hongjoon greeted and you smiled after hearing his voice.

He and Yejin have been going quite steady in their relationship which was great to see.

"Hello, What brings the both of you here?" You smiled.

You don't see Hongjoon everyday sadly as, one, he has a girlfriend he has to see now, and two, you have been doing a whole lot better in terms of your mental health so you don't need Hongjoon around as often.

"I'm just here to say bye before you go home" he admitted.

And you nearly fell for it.

"Oh, so you don't want a strawberry milkshake?" You quirked an eyebrow.

"No that's exactly what I want- - - Yejin told me to say the other thing" he openly outed her and you burst into laughter.

"You're so dumb" you chuckled. "You want one too Yejin?"

"Actually I'll have vanilla if that's okay. I'm not much of a strawberry kind of person" she admitted and you looked at her in shock. "What?" You snapped out of it.

"Oh sorry, I just didn't think Hongjoon would like someone who doesn't like strawberries" you explained and Jimin choked on his sundae because of your goofy response.

"Oh for goodness sakes! I'm not that obsessed with strawberries" he rolled his eyes.

"Right" you mimicked him rolling his eyes .

He was such a fun personality and you will always be eternally grateful for everything Hongjoon has done for you.

You didn't get the chance to change your outfit after work, your bags were already in Jimin's car and you both just wanted to hit the road as soon as possible.

So that's exactly what you both did.

You were peacefully sitting in the passenger seat of Jimin's car, wearing the yellow uniform that you used to hate all those months ago but somehow you've managed to grow accustomed to it. His hand holding yours as you both sang along to a playlist entitled: good ole' hits.

It had the classics, ABBA and Queen, as well as a few songs from nearly a decade ago that were popular, old One Direction hits and Rihana, and you both just sang your hearts out with bright smiles.

"Look into his angel eyes, you'll think you're in paradise" you both sang in perfect harmony.

You couldn't help but relate to the lyrics.

And before you knew it, your ended up outside the obsessively large building that you remember oh so well.

Before Jimin even stopped the car, Jiyun was rushing out of the house ready to scoop her two precious darlings into her arms.

Jimin appeared in front of her first she she clung on tightly to him.

"Hello my baby" she said with relief and a delicate kiss to the temple.

"Hi mom" he replied happily.

And that's when she looked over his shoulder to see tou awkwardly standing behind him.

"Oh I swear y/n you get more pretty every time I see you" she exclaimed and pulled you into a hug too.

"I sincerely doubt that" you disagreed.

"I don't" both Jiyun and Jimin said at the same time. The three of you just laughed softly.

"It's so good to see you sweetie" she whispered, finally glad that you returned back to Jimin.

She pulled away from you and cupped your cheeks in her hands.

"I don't know what would've happened to him if you weren't there to keep him sane" she admitted to you.

"He's strong Jiyun" you replied.

"Oh I know he is" she said. "But without you he's just a shell, a strong, emotionless shell" she said recalling the memories of when he came home for Christmas.

Jimin wanted to argue on the matter but in the end he just shrugged, because it was true.

"Alright let's go inside and we can talk" she suggested and led you both into the house, continuing into the living room.

"Do you want anything to eat?" Jiyun asked as the three of you sat down.

Jimin just groaned and shook his head which led Jiyun to look at him with questioning eyes.

"He made his own extravagant ice-cream sundae and I would say he's probably dealing with the aftermath right now" you explained to her and she just shook her head.

"He's going to be a child forever I swear" she chuckled. "But anyways how is he doing in terms of smoking?" She wanted to ask this question the minute she saw the both of you get out of the car, but she thought it best to wait a little while.

"Five weeks completely clean tomorrow" you smiled and looked at him. You held up your hand and he high-fived you. As he was doing so he kept his hand connected with yours so as when your hand fell it was still holding his.

"And how are you feeling about it sweetie?" His mother asked him.

"Some days I feel better, some days I feel like I'll snap if I don't have one. But Muffin is keeping me in check" he smiled at you and you sent him an encouraging wink back.

"That's good that you're dealing with it darling" Jiyun smiled. "I actually have to make a business call in a few minutes so if you guys wanna- - - I don't know maybe-"

"We'll keep ourselves busy mom" he sniggered at her attempt to try keep you both from being bored.

"Okay good, I'll be back in a bit" She hollered as she walked out of the room.

"I know where I want to go" Jimin cheekily smiled and stood up, bringing you with him as he walked as your hands were connected.

He left the room and brought you down various hallways until he lead you to a familiar grand room.

"This is where your moms party was"  you whispered in realisation.

That party that changed everything between the both of you. You remembered arriving with Taehyung and Jungkook, anxiously awaiting to see Jimin. You wore the most beautiful dress, it's the nicest thing you have ever worn. You remembered slow dancing with Jimin and being so nervous around the fact that you had never danced like that before, Jimin really doing all the work at the same time though.

And then you went to the bathroom and upon arriving back at the party, Alex was there- - - back when you hated Alex - - - and you could only feel shame in your body. Shame for thinking he could eventually be yours one day.

So you left the party and you went outside.

"I would like to ask you to dance with me, now knowing that there will be no one to interrupt us" he grinned sweetly and offered his hand out to you with a bow.

"Jimin I still don't know how to dance" you admitted to him. "Plus there is no music"

Jimin stood up straight again and took out his phone, quickly tapping on it until there was a slow melody coming through the sound on his phone. He turned his volume up to the highest and slipped the phone back in his pocket.

"I'll lead you through the dance" he said before bowing yet again and holding out his hand to you.

You gently placed your hand in his and he smirked, pulling you closer to him. "I knew my Muffin couldn't resist" he pecked your cheek.

He got you into the proper position and began to do small steps for you to follow.

He suddenly let out a short laugh.

"Hey I'm trying my best here!" You defended.

"No, no, you're doing great. I'm just thinking back to when we were doing this at the party and how naive I was" he shook his head with another smile. "If only he knew what was going to happen to him soon enough" he nuzzled his nose against yours.

Jimin then suddenly twirled you out and back to him.

"I can't even describe how heavy the crush I had on you was. I just wanted to kiss you all the time. Like all. The. Damn. Time." He admitted and you cheekily grinned at him.

"That's so cute" you cooed at him and kissed the corner of his lips. "We were the most love struck teenagers you could ever find" you chuckled and he nodded.

Jimin gently swayed you back and forth until the end of the song.

"Thank you m'lady it was an honour" he bowed deeply and you just giggled at him.

"Come on" you said and grabbed his hand.

"Where are we going?"

"You'll see"

///

"Ahhhhh this is where we are going" he said in realisation.

You just continued to walk alongside him.

"This is a very important place for us" he admitted and you nodded.

You were now outside, leading yourselves down the garden path to the sheltered area in the middle.

The gazebo.

A lot has happened here.

This is where you went after seeing Alex with Jimin at the party. You couldn't stand to see them together, so you ran here to clear your head and scold yourself for being upset, telling yourself that it was never going to happen between you and Jimin anyways.

Well, that was until he arrived in the scene while you were sobbing and kissed you.

What a wild day.

"Our first kiss" he twirled you as he said so. "It's crazy to think about now" he spoke softly, letting his mind wonder back to all that happened back then.

"We also said our first "I love you"s " you reminded him.

"Ahhh how could I forget. I said I love you and then we kissed and then you said that you loved me and then you started crying" he teased and you just slumped your posture.

"I was scared! I had never felt the way I feel about you with anyone and the fact that you were forbidden for me to have just made everything harder. I have never felt relief like I had felt in that moment - hence the crying" you explained as Jimin guided you up the steps.

"You thought I was forbidden for you to have" he started. "And yet here we are and I'm most certainly all yours" he spoke soothingly. You were both on the platform of the gazebo, your back against his chest as you stood in the same place that kicked off this whole adventure you've had so far.

"I'm a lucky girl" you smiled, feeling the tingly sensation of Jimin's breath against your neck.

"No I'm a lucky guy who met an unfortunate, pretty girl and look what it got me" he smiled.

"An annoying girlfriend that nags at you the whole time?" You laughed.

"No" he spoke softly. "It got me the happiness my life was lacking"
