69. D-day
_
"Y/n?"
You snuggle in the blankets as someone calls for your name.
"Y/n, do you hear me?"
You groan, pull up the blankets to your head and go back to sleep until you feel your blanket getting pulled. "You wake up right now or I throw a damn water bucket on you."
The trauma of getting totally soaked in bed awakens you wide. "What the hell is wrong—" You're still sleepy, don't see who was talking to you until now. Just scream and stop midway finding that one person you did not expect to be here.
"You little—" he calls on you and you cut him, "What the hell are you doing here—"
"What am I doing here???" He's gasping. "I'm your damn brother–let me remind you in case you've forgotten!"
Your jaw is ajar. Look around and find Jimin behind him. Shrugging and mouthing, 'I couldn't stop him'
Your eyes go back to him. "Well, morning."
He's staring and you're staring too.
"You came back to Korea, and I got to know this from my colleagues instead of you?" He leans forward, gaze intense, "I hold you responsible for literally making—"
You stop him. "First, yes I apologize I did not tell you since it was a surprise for Jimin. Second—get a girlfriend while you're at it instead of nagging at your sister. Third—do not come inside without knocking."
He doesn't wait. Grabs a pillow and throws it at you. Jimin from behind almost ready to sprint but you stop him. "Jimin although I highly appreciate your care, this is between me and my brother... so I—" another pillow smack on your face.
Hair all dishevelled and eyes glaring fires.
"Alright, since you're playing dirty, I shall—" third smack and you do not hold back anymore, "You prick—" throw away the blankets and jump on your brother who grabs you with one hand and lifts you only to slip your head down almost against the floor. Legs in his hand and your various attempts to smack him.
"Say sorry and I'll let you go." He demands and you groan, thrown almost downward. "Yah—" he is dropping you until you let out a scream. "Yah? —yeah?" He's sounding offended. "That's not how you talk to your—" you cut him off after grabbing his pants. He freezes.
"Say one more word and your pants are off." Warn him and he's hesitated. "Look Y/n—"
"–nope."
"You're not a kid—"
"Neither you"
"I never said—"
"Respectfully lay me down—"
"Okay." And he picks you up and drops you very respectfully on the bed.
Jimin takes notes.
Your brother, Hyunjin. Bites his lips suppressing his anger. Doesn't say a word and you eye him. He looks away obviously upset.
This time you softly throw the pillow at him. "Don't be grumpy." And fold your legs. "Obviously I missed you." You mutter the words slowly, barely above a whisper and Hyunjin has been taken aback.
Jimin smiling, he's leaning against the wall, his arms folded. He's thinking too adorable of you.
"Huh?" Your brother wants to hear it again but you cringe. Wave your hand in front of him. "J-just get out. I'll freshen up and come out. Will make you bulgogi."
And he's hiding a big smile. Rolls his eyes. "Whatever." And laughs secretly, listening to you and leaving the room.
+++
"Jimin already left." Your brother zips up his bag, a piece of food stuck on his lips. "Said he had to go early for practice."
You're tying your hair up, clutch in between your lips, eyes on the mirror, "Hmm." Take out the clip, "Yeah he texted. I'm aware."
"I've got a schedule too, I'm leaving as well for lessons." Your brother eats the last piece of food, and chews, "The venue is on its way, I can drop you off if you'd like."
You nod immediately glancing at him, "I appreciate it." Take one last look at yourself before picking up your shoes and taking a seat before wearing them.
"Okay." He wipes his mouth, fixes a few strands of his hair, satisfied grabs his bag up, "I'll be outside. Make me wait for more than ten minutes and I'm leaving." He tells and you stick your tongue out, "Whaever" and he shakes his head and leaves.
You don't delay any time further too. Grab a few essentials and head out, carrying a few stuff all by yourself until your brother groans. Gets out and takes all the stuff from your grasp and doesn't say anything. Drops them in the backseat. Meanwhile, you give him a thumbs up. "Thanks, bro."
He curses in his mouth and you smile. Sweetly and he sits down in his car as you take your seat too. Shut the door and wear your seatbelt.
"You really changed, although I didn't quite see you much." He says in the middle of starting the car. Your ears perk up and he adds, "I've seen your magazines and ads they're really good. You worked really hard Y/n. Keep it up."
Your eyes soften, "Thanks Hyu." You're genuine, glance down at your nails, "Honestly if not for you—you know this wouldn't have been possible."
He scoffs, "You gave me a reason to. If you weren't passionate enough it would've been a waste."
You agree. He nods in return. Silence again.
"You know how our mom and dad are, right..." You don't like where the conversation is headed. "They just can't come to terms that their kids are very capable of making their own choices." You're feeling nauseous. "It's not that they don't trust us, they're just too conscious and it only causes—"
"I'm not interested in any mom-dad lecture, Hyu." You try to shut him up with that but obviously, he doesn't. "Don't be rebellious c'mon." He sighs, "You're way past the age of an adolescent kid."
"Then they should start treating me like a damn adult!" You repell and he stares at you, "Don't expect them to, especially after you ran away from home."
"—you know that was the right thing to do."
"—there are many other ways too, Y/n. Of all ways you chose the worse off —"
"Bet it wouldn't have been this dramatic if it was you who ran away instead of me—since you've been easily allowed to become a Kpop idol whereas for me I—" your voice lowers a few octaves, "you know how it has been for me."
"It's not what you think it is."
"Well, I don't wanna learn anything about it either."
"Y/n—"
"Hyun oppa."
"I talked with them," Your brother dropped this bomb without any warning.
"What talk?"
He drives as he speaks, "You left without any notice, they were worried, they called me and I told them you were with me." Your heart sank suddenly.
"I informed them about Jimin, specifically Mom and you know no answer from her is a good one. She's willing to give you your freedom..."
What the hell was happening? Did this really happen? No way?
"She said she won't intervene in any of your matters but at one condition." Turning his head to you, your brother constrains his laughter when you are dead serious.
"What?" Your heart is pacing and he got to laugh at this situation.
He slaps his mouth to stop his laugh, "Sh-she wants to meet her grandchildren whenever they are born it seems."
Flustered, you gasped and Hyunjin finally laughed out loud.
"She did not say that." Stunned, you claim and he laughs, wiping his tears of laughter. "She didn't."
Wow. That took a dreadful turn. "Damn. What happened then?"
Hyunjin slows down the car and you realize you were near the parking lot of the stadium already. "Nothing," Hyunjin brushes it, "She just realized how much hard work you did just to get to him and that now you are capable of handling yourself, she's letting you go."
"She told you all of this?" Your brows almost reach your forehead with the news your brother just told you.
"Hm, now you should leave. Have fun." Your brother stops the car, "Everything is gonna be fine so don't worry about anything and do what your heart wants."
Getting emotional you unbuckle your seat belt, "As much as I'd cringe at this I'm gonna do it anyway." You bend forward and envelop him in a hug. Hyunjin was taken away, again. "Thanks, Hyun." You nuzzle in your brother's arms and suddenly he feels at home. Rests his chin on your head and pats your back, "Anything for my crazy sis." And you laugh, little tears appearing in your eyes.
As much as you felt alone, he had been alone too. Luckily you found Jimin who showed what love felt like but your brother, he's been struggling by himself. Carrying all burdens on his shoulders when he's not responsible for doing that. He deserved good credit too.
Letting go of the hug, you pat his shoulders, eyes making intense contact, "I'm proud of you." Say it and something flashes in his eyes, he's struck, taken off guard and his heart sinking all at once.
"I'll throw you out of the car if you keep this up." He jokes and you burst into a laugh. "You're welcome." Press his hands, "Wish you good luck." And he suddenly grabs your forehead with his palms, pushes you against his chest and plants a small kiss. "Take care and stay happy, wish you good health and life too." He pushes you away immediately after, "Now get the fuck out." And you're giggling, open the door and grab your stuff from the backseat. "See you." And leave.
It was a sign, that things were gonna go well for now.
You were waiting for the happy ending to finally happen and get to the end. Enough of all the troubles and heartbreaks.
It was finally gonna happen.

"Hey, there you are!" Taehyung comes running to you with a juice cup in his hands, "We're gonna be late." He hands you the cup and takes you dragging along with him through the whole fandom, the crowd, that was standing and waiting for Jimin in their seats inside the stadium.
You were wearing a butterfly purple strap camis crop top over wide-leg denim jeans. Your hair was tied up in a bun and your eyes were covered in sunglasses. A coffee cup hanging off your hands as you walk freely with Taehyung towards the VIP area.
Before you could get there your eyes fell on the girl standing near the security area and gibbering about something. Taehyung and you stop by as you see the girl crying and showing the security her passes while the guard aggressively argues and still not allowing her.
"Excuse me, what's wrong?" Taehyung was a guy who'd never walk away watching a girl cry. Although a minute ago he was bickering about how late it already became.
The security guard bows at Taehyung, glancing at the button on his collar, "Just a trivial matter sir, you don't need to waste your time over this."
Basically, the VIPs belonging to the agency had a golden button tucked onto their collar and all of Jimin's friends had their own so that they could come and go whenever they like without getting through the security check.
You got one from Namjoon yesterday too, before going and surprising Jimin in the dormitory. It isn't that easy to walk and get into Jimin's room first at all.
The girl sobs and you immediately recognize her. She was the chim-chim from the airport.
"Is her pass not valid?" Taehyung takes the passes from him and checks them. "It's a counterfeit ticket." He says, "Basically she got scammed by her friends, and she's been crying for over the past an hour. I don't see how is that my problem—"
"I'll buy a ticket for her." You dig your pocket for your phone and call Jungkook who has sponsored this concert.
The bell rings and Taehyung blinks and so does the security guard. The girl's sobbing slows as she wipes her tears looking up at you to stand in surprise.
"Unni..." she mutters and you give her a knowing smile. As Jungkook lifts the call you talk over the matter with him for a few seconds and end it, now paying attention to the girl.
"What's up? Your friends ditched you?" You ask and Taehyung and the security guard keenly watch the talk between you two.
She hiccups, "Unni... I met them on the internet, they pretended to be chim-chims and took away my ticket money, they aren't even lifting my calls."
You hum and hand her the coffee in your hand, "did they take anything else?" You ask and she hesitantly takes the coffee thanking you, "No."
"Good." You sigh, seeing her sipping on the coffee. "Where are you from? You got a home? Are you alone?" You ask for safety purposes and she takes a long breath after taking a long sip, "My aunt lives here, I'm staying with her. It's just that my money got scammed, luckily I was careful not to give them any information more than that"
You sigh in relief, "That's good." And she smiles. Before Taehyung could ask how did you acted as you knew her, Jungkook barges out of the VIP room, huffing out-breath.
"The ticket." He heavily breaths handing over the ticket to the security guard. The girl stands wide-eyed as she notices him.
After scanning the ticket, finally, he opens the barricade for the VIPs and allows all of you to come in.
Getting inside, you get to your seats and thank a ton to Jungkook who arranged it at the last minute. "Agh, you owe me a chicken dinner for this." He settles down in his seat beside Rosè and you laugh at his response, "Sure, It's on me."
Your eyes fall over the girl whose eyes keep widening the second she lays eyes on, Jungkook, Rosè, Jin, Yoongi, Somi, Namjoon, Jin, Taehyung and Lisa.
"What's wrong?" You laugh at her expressions.
"Are they your friends?" She asks unbelievably and you shrug, "Yeah?– Wait you know them?" You smile and she gasps, "Obviously, they're on billboards, trending on Twitter, featuring in advertisements, coming in newspapers, receiving awards and whatnot." She slaps her mouth with excitement, "How did I get so lucky?"
Genuinely amazed you laugh out aloud, "For real? That's great." You lower your laughter and lean back in your seat, "Apparently, I was gonna become a dancer here too but too bad I went abroad for modelling or you could've recognized me too." You funnily let out, joking it and the girl blinks surprised, "Oh? Really." She bows apologetically to you, "I'm sorry I couldn't recognize you"
"Nah it's fine." You grin, "I'm happy staying low."
She nods, "But dancer? For real? That could be great too."
"Right?" You glance at the stage, "I had this craze of learning dance in my high school years, there was this one person who I accidentally saw dancing in of the music rooms..." Your eyes glint with sunset falling, "he was magical and he inspired me, made me fall in love with his dance. I was so touched that I wanted to learn dance at all cost but–" you giggle at your memories, "—I chose another club and never saw that person again."
The girl sits in awe, "That sounds so book worthy," she shifts herself towards you, "You didn't ever see him? For real?" Her cheeks grow red, "You're really pretty, if he could meet you, both of you would have already been a thing."
Cackling at her choice of words you remove your sunglasses, "Not all first loves have a happy ending you know." Folding your arms you cross your legs watching the lightning on the stage getting ready for the concert, "My attachment to that person was so strong that I very well knew that my feelings towards any of my crushes could outgrow if I see him."
"Wow" she whispers awestruck, "what happened then? You ever fell for someone else? Did you ever try finding him? I wanna know." She practically taps her feet losing her patience to know the answer.
"Haha." She was really fun to be around, "I got a boyfriend, never tried to look for him—"
"Why?" She whines, "Or wait— are you still scared that he was still now capable of outgrowing your feelings for even your boyfriend?"
You go in your thoughts, "Um, I don't think so, It's been six years already and..." you glance at the girl, "If I ever get to see him, I could thank him for making me realize what love feels like when I ever experienced none."
Smiling, you give her an answer and she pouts with glistening eyes, "Your boyfriend is damn lucky." She sharply inhales and turns towards the stage with glowing eyes, "I can't wait to fall in love if it sounds so beautiful."
"Good luck with that." You face the stage, nostalgic memories swinging in your heart.
The guy in the music room taught you what love feels like. You remembered how you could visit the room to catch a glimpse of him but never got to see him. At that time you were head over heels for Jungkook and deep down you knew if that person could dance in front of you or perform he could take away your heart.
When Jimin appeared in your life, the thought of that guy never crossed your mind. It was as if Jimin replaced all the right places that needed to be filled in your heart.
But if those verses from the song were to play and he was to appear in front of you, you would still love Jimin. He was the love from your youth and Jimin was your forever one. You were thankful for both of them for playing their parts in your life whenever you needed them.
The crowd suddenly howls and screams when the stage brightens and a countdown starts.
Jimin was gonna perform now.
You stand up, staying in the front row and cheering up for him. Focusing on your present.
The fog spreads on the floor and an entrance opens from under the stage, slowly lifting Jimin sitting on a chair with a guitar.
A cream transparent shirt and pant, his blonde hair slicked back and his face glowing. A big smile on his face as he catches your sight.
"UNNII HE SMILED AT YOU!!!" The girl screams with excitement and joy, tears appearing in her eyes, "HE'S SO DAMN FREAKING CLOSE THAT I WANNA DIE!!!!" She yells with water spilling out her eyes with happiness.
She really was a hardcore fan of his.
The song starts and Jimin stands up from his seat, "Let's do this!" He happily announces, starting to play the guitar.
The beautiful sun setting makes Jimin looks like an angel as he starts to sing the verses.
That uninterested face of yours, the bored tip of your toes
Please, look at me now
Put your phone down, don't even think of turning your head away
Let me know your type
You can pick and choose me, yeah
Your heart hits with a pang as he sings the verses.
Placing down the guitar Jimin takes the front and moves his feet, gracefully dancing. You never really saw him perform, you were always so busy that it was impossible to see him do what he loved so much.
He wasn't famous for nothing.
Oh, I cover your eyes with my hands
Oh, get closer to the secret
I'll take you to a whole new world
Yeah, open your eyes now, go
As he performed you found your body forming goosebumps, chills running down your spine. This wasn't the regular Jimin. He was someone else when he danced.
You were astounded by the song and his dance, It was his feet that moved delicately, his hands that created enchantment, his body swaying like water. You weren't just watching, you were sensing it all. The energy you felt now was beyond significant.
You've never felt this way since that day.
The words running in your brain right now were the same as the day they did that day.
"You couldn't remove your eyes off him, it was as if your feet weren't allowing you to move past the vision present in front, none of it felt real even though it was happening right in front of your eyes.
It was as if you fell in love."
FELL IN LOVE.
He was the one you fell for, since day one.
Your eyes were wide open and his reflection glimmered in your eyes.
Mix the colors in the palette, pick your filter
Which me do you want?
The one to change your world, I'm your filter
Overlay me in your heart
It was him.
Those were the exact same lyrics. Exact same dance. Exact same fluency of love.
Jimin faces you and meets your eyes, dancing for you. The same way he did in the music room, with the same sunset shining amidst the sky, the same silhouette of his dancing like an angel giving out blessings.
Okay, Can you feel it now? Is it still not enough?
(Yes) Girl, you have your chance
He smiles at you and the crowd howls at their highest realizing his focus on one person. He slowly steps down the stage,
I can be your Genie
How 'bout Aladdin?
I'll be anything
You can pick and choose me, yeah
The security guards make way for him and suddenly the whole crowd gets aside, making way for Jimin to come to you.
Oh, I will embrace you like in your dreams
Oh, it's a secret spec
For you, every day I'll be new
It's not fun to stay the same all the time
He swings around with the brightest smile on his face and reaches you. The screen on the stage features you and Jimin together. The whole world watching the live telecast of this.
Mix the colors in the palette, pick your filter
Which me do you want?
To change your world, I'm your filter
Overlay me in your heart
He takes your hand in his and again sings those verses. The people around you going wild. Your friends jumping around and squealing in excitement. The girl beside you almost about to faint.
You were dreaming, right? It wasn't real at all.
How was this possible? How?
Those honey-brown eyes of his meet yours with love. Smiling with his eyes he takes you along with to the stage and your feet follow him blindly. Finding yourself lost in him.
Look at me who has suddenly turned into a child
The more you look, the cuter I am, like crazy
After taking you to the stage, you feel the cold breeze hitting your body. The screams from the audience grow higher and higher.
Tucking the mic properly near his lips he brings you closer to him, his hands enveloping your skin, warming you in him.
Overcoming different tastes and standards
You'll be wanting only me
Yeah, because you are the one who made me
He melodically sings, singing truthfully, meaning each word by directly making you feel all those lyrics in your soul.
Thousands and thousands of chim-chims cheering you both.
I'm a brand new filter that you've never seen before
Entrust yourself to me
To see more thrilling things, pick your filter
Contain only me
Taking your fingers in his, he dances with you. Each move synced with him as if you were one. Made just for each other.
You could have recognized him that night. The night you played truth and dare. The way you both danced that night, you felt the energy surge down your body. You would've known it was him all along.
Your first love.
We'll become a new us
Ayy, overlay me in your heart
And flipping you around closer to him he grasps your waist, behind your knee, making you lean backwards and giving you a movie-worthy kiss in front of the whole world watching the concert just when the song ends.
