genre: semi-smut, fluff, angst
“Hey… It’s me. Can we talk?” I felt so lied to and betrayed, but most of all, I just needed a friendly presence.
“Of course. I’m on my way.” Jimin said in a soothing tone. I instantly felt better and in a matter of minutes, here was there. It was as if this day would never end. First, my boyfriend tells me he’s ‘out’ and will be back later when I go to pick up some dinner for us and I find him on a date with some other girl. I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt, but He leaned in and kissed her. My heart broke in half and I ended it with him then and there.
Jimin knocked on the door and I hollered, “It’s open!” He let himself in and went straight to the living room where I was, curled up on the couch and hating the world. If there was anyone that can make me feel better in this situation its Jimin. He’s the only guy I trust right now.
“Are you okay?” He asked and I turned my head to look at him. “No, you’re not.” He said softly. He saw the tears staining my cheeks and puffy eyes. “Wait. Hold that thought.” He went into my kitchen and made me a mug of cocoa and grabbed a blanket off of the chair and wrapped me in it. He handed me the mug and continued our conversation. “Tell me what’s wrong, babes.” He sat down and I leaned my head on his shoulder.
“He cheated on me with some dumb girl he works with…” I said in a flat tone. “Oh no. I’m so sorry, Y/n.” He wrapped his arm around my shoulder and rubbed my arm while I took a few sips. His chin rested on my head and my tears started to fall. “Please don’t cry. It’ll all be okay.”
“I know… It just sucks for now.” I replied while putting my mug on the coffee table. “I just don’t understand why. Am I not enough?”
“Of course you are. He thought he could have it better and it backfired. He lost an amazing girl because he couldn’t get his act together and realize how good he has it.” I know he’s right about him, but I couldn’t help but linger on all the kind things he said about me. I brought my head up and he looked back at me with his sweet brown eyes that can cure all sin. His plump lips shaped into an encouraging smile and I had to do something.
I couldn’t hold it back anymore. I slowly leaned in and kissed him. I felt a rush of sparks and fireworks the second he kissed me back and held me close to him. I turned myself and sat on his lap, deepening our kiss.
I’ve wanted to feel his lips on mine for the longest time, but it was never right.When we met. I wanted to make my move, but before I knew it I was trapped in the friend zone.
His hand traveled down to my ass, squeezing it. I gasped and he slipped his tongue into my mouth, massaging it over mine. I pressed myself against his body and he groaned with pleasure.
“Wait… What are we doing?” He broke away and my heart sank. “Y/n, you’re my best friend…” Oh god. It’s happening. He’s rejecting me. “We can’t do this. I don’t want to be a rebound.”
“You’re not!” I said. “Since the day we met, I’ve been falling for you and you’ve shown me that you aren’t interested so I just stayed in the friend zone and met that jerk of an ex to get over you, but it didn’t work because every time he wasn’t there or put me through ridiculous mind games, you were there. Every single time, Jimin. I’m so sorry that I didn’t say anything before, but… I just thought your mind was made up.”
He sat there with me in his lap, staring at me, seeing me break down in front of him. I covered my face with my hands when I felt the tears start to build up and I got off of him.“You don’t have to stay. I know that was a lot.” I said to him. My voice wavered with each word and It was clear now more than ever that I really only cared about Jimin.
“Y/n…”
“Just go.” I whimpered. “No.” He said back. I lifted my head and he continued. “I’m not leaving you here like this. I had no idea that you wanted to be more than friends, or that I was leading you to believe that I wasn’t interested. I’ve been interested in you too. That’s the only reason I always show up when you need comfort.” He scooted closer and wiped my tears for me. “You have nothing to feel sorry for. Yes, what you just said was a lot to process, but I know exactly how it feels. We’re both guilty.”
I smiled to myself and finally worked up the courage to look him in the eye again. “Jimin, you will never be my rebound guy. You’ve been the goal since day one.” I admitted. He smiled at me and kissed me again. "Tell you what. We’ll take things slow. That way in a couple weeks we know we’re not just in this because of the heat of the moment and we can be exclusive. Okay?“ I nodded at him and he pulled me in for a hug.
In the end, we were right to take things slow for two weeks, because those two weeks turned into two months and then two years and now it’s our happily ever after.
