Jimin laughed softly when he straightened himself and saw you just staring with flushed cheeks. Your lips, parted in shock at his brash words, were full and tempting. He had to will himself to look away and over your shoulder.

"Oh, there's the Christmas section!" he announced, making you turn around, desperate to move on from this moment that left you looking like an utter fool.

"Let's check it out!" you exclaimed way too awkwardly and he pressed his lips together. He couldn't explain why he wanted to laugh, it was not at you or with you, it was just so very charming to him. You were charming, so unique and flawlessly flawed.

You took his hand and excitedly pulled him with you as he nearly tripped on his feet at your little trot. Letting go of him, you picked one snowglobe after another, turning them upside down and looking at the white specks and glitter fall and pile up at the bottom.

Jimin just watched as you sighed contently, smiling widely as you looked at all the seasonal items and didn't miss a chance to touch each and every single one of the knick-knacks.

"Look, it's Winter Chimmy!" your head poked out from behind one of the displays as you held up the little pup dressed in a fluff lined cape with a tiny red bow-tie.

He walked up to you smiling widely as you gushed over how cute the plush was and commented on it briefly just to listen to you talk some more, "cute!"

"Ugh, I can't decide which one to get" you frowned looking at it and the rest of the plushies sitting on the table in front of you.

"Snowman RJ looks adorable too" he commented knowing you were probably looking at it.

"No, but there's also a Santa Chimmy!" you said pointing at the one hidden behind a Christmas tree Tata's giant head. He had missed it and smiled brightly at the realization.

"If you won't let me get both, I'll get you one and you get the other. How's that?" he suggested having seen how you carefully made your choices not long ago. You were thoughtful, even if he could afford it all no problem, it was the gesture that he was grateful for.

You squealed delighted at the sight of something and Jimin looked up as he put both plushies in the basket and caught up with you.

"They are finally selling the baubles! I know they were in Hong Kong a few years ago, but I never found them here before" you were beaming as you picked one of each character to take with you.

Jimin was happy to follow you around as you went through the different sections of the store, you sat on a couple garden chairs for a bit when you got tired. He rested his elbow on the plastic table, chin resting on his hand as he listened to you gab about anything and everything.

Even shaded by the patio umbrella, your eyes glinted with joy and he felt like maybe he hadn't ruined the date by bringing up your preference for his hyung. The moment he let the words out of his mouth, he mentally cursed for not keeping his doubts to himself.

When one of the employees found you, they kindly asked you to not sit on the garden furniture and you continued exploring. Jimin made mental notes of the things that caught your attention, you looked at the latest releases of books, the new music albums and the most random home decor ornaments.

Your internal fight over a small world globe was a sight to see, the serious expression on your face while you intently looked at it was priceless.

"I want to buy this, tell me not to" you demanded and he smiled amused. Without intending to, you had suddenly put him through a test. He had obliged and let you pick up whatever you wanted, but you knew he wasn't a pushover. He was far from it.

Other women would be happy to be showered with gifts, never hear a no for an answer. A man who could simultaneously pamper you and set limits was incredibly attractive to you. It seemed like you were a walking paradox and it kept Jimin on his toes.

"Do you really need that?" he asked calmly and you shook your head.

"Do I need it? No! But do I want it? Absolutely!" you replied cheekily.

"Just put it back, aegi" he said unamused, determined to follow what you asked of him. However, you hesitated and he side-smiled at your behavior. He started to grasp the way your mind worked. Space and attention, coddling but not going overboard.

"Or..." you started smiling cutely and he raised an eyebrow.

"Nothing" he interrupted you and took the small item from your hand to put it back on the shelf.

"Why not? It's not pricey!" you complained as he held your shoulders, spun you away from the display and pushed you to walk down the aisle.

Jimin shushed you, making a sound every time you opened your mouth not letting you speak, and you both eventually just started giggling at the silliness of the whole thing.

"We have to stop at the little Pizza Hut station on our way out, you'll love it!" you finally commented, forgetting all about the globe.

"Alright, I'll just pay for this and I'll meet you there" Jimin offered and you tried to follow him.

"You're not paying for all of that, it's too much" he had practically doubled the number of items with all the Chimmy merchandise.

"Consider it a Christmas gift" he lied knowing he'd want to get you something anyway.

You resisted but he looked at you sternly, challenging you to defy him. He took your shoulder once more, turned you around and gave you a little push towards the small seating area.

Before you could utter another sound, he did and walked away being loud enough he couldn't hear you over his own voice. What a dork, you thought. Smiling to yourself and giving up, you looked for a place to sit.

You nervously observed the people eating around you. It was not in your plans to leave Jimin without his lunch, so you had suggested this spot you loved. The whole idea of eating though made you anxious despite what you thought was best for him.

He showed up about fifteen minutes later and apologized as there was a small queue at the check out. Putting the bags on one of the chairs, he looked up at you mindfully picking his next few words.

"Do you like Kimchi pizza?" between all the options, he knew this crustless pizza would be the one that would be the best to you. Kimchi makes it seem less greasy as well and spicier.

"Um, yeah. You should get that" you answered dismissing the fact that he probably wanted to share. You'd figure out what to do next, he had to eat first. Jimin smiled and excused himself to get your order.

In the end, after chatting a bit and him eating slowly hoping you'd take at least one slice, you decided to help yourself to some of it. Jimin tried not to show how proud he was when you went for it, worried you'd change your mind if he brought attention to the food.

"I know we've been out for just a few hours, but can we just go back to my place and hang out? I'm exhausted" you said feeling guilty, but you really couldn't do much if your body didn't cooperate with you.

"I'd love that" he remained unfazed, not giving the slightest hint of wanting to oppose and you breathed out relieved. No arguments over this, how wild! You thought as you went over your previous experiences with other guys.

How much more perfect could he be? It was unfair, how dare the universe give him the heavenly looks, the charming personality and the big heart. You didn't deserve this man.
