With worry filling inside of Jimin after raising his voice at his father, he let out an exhale and ran his own hand through his hair. “I can do this…” Jimin whispered to himself before picking out the clothes from the luggage and folding them into the cabinets. He no longer had his father's guidance and his relationship with the elder stretched far like the Sun to the lonely planet, Pluto. “I don't need him… Jungkook loves me… So, Jungkook will help me.”

             Jimin set his clothes into the cabinets and thought on his own the whole time. He felt like he didn't need his father to ruin his relationship to keep him ‘safe' either way, he still needed to grow dependent without the younger man by his side. Jimin wasn't in the right, but he alone felt as if he was doing the right thing in his life for telling his father to stop getting in between his relationship like before. “I feel so disgusted… Why did I have to yell at him like that?” Jimin spoke to himself. Feeling guilt strike him like he was pelted with a pile of bricks and only then, Jungkook opened the bedroom door to see the older folding clothes and putting it away into his cabinets.

           “Jimin... What did you do?” Jungkook asked and approached his lover sitting on the ground so quiet and silent. “Did you… kick your father out… For me?”

            “He was planning to take us apart just like before when Namjoon and I were a couple…” Jimin told his lover and stood up before coughing into his elbow. “So, I told him that you'll be by my side no matter what.”

            “Oh Jimin… I think too much of me is bad for you… You won't grow to be on your own. Every night, you need me to hug to sleep and you can't spend a day without me like before. I love you, but at times.. Things will get hard for us. It will be difficult for you to get used to society especially since I can't stand watching you go through the pain.” Jungkook told Jimin and folded his arms to sigh. “I'm scared to teach you that…”

             “W-We can get through this together… You'll teach me! You always have. We can also sleep in separate rooms for a whole week or more so I can learn, Jungkook!” Jimin desperately begged as Jungkook slowly met eyes with Jimin. “Please… Anything to keep my father away from pulling us apart. I'll do this with you. I'm determined to get cured under your watch.” Jimin begged. Jungkook then moved in closer and hugged Jimin in his arms. “I want to show him… I want to show him that he's wrong.”

             “You would really tell your father off for me… And then try to prove him wrong?” Jungkook asked and then let out a chuckle. “Oh, my little Mochi~ if we are going to do this… Then that means..” Jungkook then pulled away from the hug and backed up. “Starting tonight, you will sleep in your own bed, maybe when you're feeling a little better, we can walk around the neighborhood and practice by there.” Jungkook assured and the thought of it scared Jimin a little. He had to sleep on his own, eventually have to walk on his own outside the house and sometimes go out with the younger. “We could even go on dates together if that's okay…”

           “D-Dates?” Jimin asked with a star-like-shine flashing through his round and beautiful eyes. “We could go on our first date… M-Maybe to the movies!”

           “Maybe we can. It all relies on how far you get. Right now, you can't go out since you're sick, but we can take baby steps. You can sit out in the porch for a while to take in nature. I know only a few people walk around the neighborhood, so they'll see you and keep walking. Trust me Jimin, it will be easy!” Jungkook assured and made a smile. “You'll get better, I know it. Think of your goal as our first date. Then, we can really make it happen.” Jungkook promised. All those words made Jimin happy to start as soon as possible. He thought of his goal and nodded his head happily. However the road to it was only going to get tougher along the way.

           “Jungkook! Will we go to the movies together?” Jimin asked as Jungkook helped by putting the older’s clothes away. “I want to watch romance!”

          “Sure. But let's not plan it yet. You still need to get over that fear of yours.” The younger reminded Jimin and took a glimpse back at him. “Until then… focus on getting your health together.”

          “Then that means… We can't sleep together tonight?”

           “No. I hate to do this to you, but it's the only way. Let's get through this.” With that being said, Jimin felt a little scared. He relied on Jungkook to be by his side every day, but he never expected to go through this so suddenly. He had to admit it, everything his father said about Jungkook sticking around every single second, was right. Jimin couldn't even think about a world without his Polaris Star; Jeon Jungkook. The only star that grew bright in the constellation of the Ursa Minor. He was so blinded by love for a whole month, he forgot about dealing with his issues to clear the path to his recovery.

           Later on that night, Jungkook served Jimin his meal of Kimchi stew since the day for the older seemed to get better. His eyes widened with energy, blemishes returned to his happy face and his coughs became less. Jimin seemed as if he was getting better already and Jungkook just couldn't hide his smile from it all. He looked forward to the hours of seeing his boyfriend smile and feel better. Only now, he could relate to Mr. Park when he saw Jimin getting better on days he was sick before.

           “Feeling better, Mochi?” Jungkook asked with a smile as he sat across from Jimin at the table. “I'm starting to see it now.”

            “I feel it too… in no time, I'll be able to go out with you and get used to it all. I'm so excited… we'll have our date and then I can go back to work!” Jimin exclaimed as he grew far from ecstatic. “It's a challenge, but we'll get there.” Jimin then began to eat as Jungkook rested his face against the palm of his own hand to watch Jimin with the biggest smile over his face. “Aren't you going to eat, Mr. Jeon?”

              “Of course I will! and… aren't we too far from friends for you to address me as ‘Mr. Jeon'? Even when we had sex for the first time, you wouldn't stop moaning ‘Mr. Jeon' ah, it bothered me so much…” Jungkook chuckled as Jimin started to giggle.

              “I did it on purpose~ I was trying to get you mad. I like it when you got aggressive with me in bed. You went deeper until I shouted your name.” Jimin spoke into a teasing coo as Jungkook covered his face and began to laugh. “Laugh all you want, I know how things work! I do my research.”

             “Ah, you're so kinky and cute at the same time!” Laughed the younger man as Jimin joined along too. “Hurry up with your meal, you're driving me crazy~”

              “I'd say the same thing, but you don't even have a car.”

              “Shut up, you don't either.” Shot back the younger as Jimin made a cute smile and glanced down at the meal before him to continue eating with his boyfriend. “I love you~”

               “I love you too.” Jimin answered with a reply as Jungkook blushed followed instantly. Once they were done with their own bowls of hot Kimchi stew with rice as well, they washed dishes together since they both knew what came next. Eventually, they would have to go to bed without each other so, they made every second worthwhile until then. Of course, they took baby steps leading to it.

              When the time came, Jimin walked to his bedroom and looked down the hall to see Jungkook leaning against the wall; waiting for Jimin to go in first. He didn't want Jimin to follow him when he least expected it, so he waited for Jimin there. In silence, Jimin took a double take at Jungkook's direction before walking into his own room for the night and closing the door behind him. He was nervous and kept thinking that any second, Jungkook would open the door and lay with him for the night, yet it wasn't going to happen any time soon. It was until now, Jimin took in the thought of his father's words echoing within his head. Park Jimin really couldn't live without Jungkook and by now, he saw it all.

             There, Jimin laid on his bed and looked up at the yellow planet JM-95 with the Rocket B248-C12. Looking up at it threw him back to the time he and Jungkook shared the room together, even to the point where they first made love under it. They fell in love under the yellow planet and Jimin only smiled looking at the small, yellow, ball hanging above on a thick thread. “I can… I can do this. All for our date…” Jimin whispered to himself. With that being said within the astronaut's head, Jimin closed his eyes and hugged one of his own pillows close. He tried hard not to imagine Jungkook by his side, and tried to think of many other things to soothe him. Space didn't bother him, his traumatic experiences faded like nothing, so what he feared before was nothing to him now. He was able to open his eyes and smile at the glow-in-the-dark stars plastered against the walls with handmade sculptures of all the planets in the Milky Way.

         As Jimin slept in for a good hour, Jungkook was laying awake, he had his thoughts that Jimin wouldn't last long, so he was ready for Jimin to come to him at any minute. Although, the more Jungkook waited, it impressed him even more. Jimin was able to hold onto his goal for the night and prove Jungkook's thoughts wrong. “Guess I stand corrected. He's doing great.” Jungkook said into his silent mind before turning over to finally close his eyes and sleep. However, as he closed his eyes for one second, another hour went by so quickly since he was suddenly awoken by the lights on and Jimin standing by the door with tears flowing from his own eyes.

      “...Spoke too soon.” Jungkook whispered to himself and rubbed his eyes to look at Jimin. “Mochi? Baby, what's wrong?”

        “I can't… It bothers me like a needle against my skin!” Jimin spoke in frustration as Jungkook chuckled and held his arms out.

        “Come to me, my little star.” Jungkook cooed as Jimin switched off the light and walked to his lover to hug him. Jimin suddenly began to sob over Jungkook's shoulder feeling like he failed his boyfriend and their first date stretched further away from them now. “Don't cry, Mochi…”

        “I-I failed…”

        “I didn't expect you to be perfect on the first try. You'll face many fails before you finally get a win. I'm not mad. You lasted long and I'm so proud of you.” Jungkook praised Jimin and cheered him up. “You'll try again and once we can get this out of the way, you'll be alright.” The younger assured and brought Jimin down by his side gently. “Sleep… I'll be here. But, this is only for tonight, you'll have to do it again and again. Understand?”

        “Yes, Jungkook…” Jimin whispered and hugged his boyfriend happily. “Jungkook?”

         “Yes, Mochi?”

         “You're my Polaris Star…” Whispered the older to his boyfriend. Comparing Jungkook to the bright north star within a constellation. The younger heard this short whisper and it made him blush into a big smile since he knew what it meant completely. “You light my way as the brightest north star in the constellation of the Ursa Minor… What will I do without you?”

        “Oh, Jimin! You're just happy I have you here, hm?” Jungkook asked as Jimin began to giggle. By there, Jungkook caged Jimin under and began to tickle him and make the older laugh happily after crying over his own failure. Reminding him that even if he fails, he will always be a winner in Jeon Jungkook's universe. Of course, this was a way Jimin began to push forward for more progress and Jungkook knew it too.
