"J-Jimin hyung?"

A sudden streak of lightning flashed across the sky outside and Jungkook leaped from the bed and jumped onto Jimin. Shocked, the two fell backwards onto the ground and the older groaned from the pain on his backside. He was about to push the younger off when he noticed the younger clinging onto him, shaking and whimpering.

And then it hit him: Jungkook was afraid of lightning. The younger male was shivering, clutching onto the older's shirt tight. Jimin could feel his the front of his shirt getting wet and he realised that Jungkook was crying. His heart shattered. His baby was crying and he didn't know whether he should comfort him.

"J-Jungkook-ah?"

"H-Hyung.. L-Lightning.."

The younger held onto his lover tight and his tears continued to flow. Jungkook had always been afraid of lightning. Storms too. Has been ever since he was a little boy.

At the moment, he knew the person he was hugging was Jimin. But he didn't care. He needed someone to hold onto so he won't be scared anymore. Jimin, left with no choice, proceeded to wrap his arms around the younger's waist and held onto him, providing him the comfort and warmth he needed.

"Jungkook-ah,"

With no verbal response from the younger, Jimin sighed and thought that maybe he could bring up the subject of their separation.

"I know what I've done was wrong. I shouldn't have cheated on you and I shouldn't have kept all my frustrations and stress away from you and vent it on someone else through sex. I-Well, for this past year, I've learn about myself and how without you, I'm nothing. An empty shell," The body on top of Jimin stilled and the older took a deep breath, stroking the younger's hair.

"I realised my mistake. I should've talked it out with you. I should've went to you instead of dealing with what I thought was right which turned out to be wrong. I-I love you, Jungkook-ah. I really do. And I'm sorry for hurting you. I hated myself when you left and I tried so hard to pick myself back up again so I could become better for you,"

The younger sniffled and snuggled closer into Jimin's chest, the older's hand never stopped at stroking his hair, an action that has always been Jungkook's comfort.

Jimin sighed and started to relax, holding the younger boy closer. With a softer tone as he stroked the younger's hair, he whispered his apologies over and over again until the younger stopped sniffling and stilled in his arms.

"J-Jiminnie?"

"Hm?"

"I-I forgive you," The older's eyes widened and unwrapped his arms slightly to look down at the younger. "I was never really mad at you. I understood everything but I needed some time to think. I needed time to consider everything and before I know it, a year has passed. And here we are now.."

Jimin chuckled as he felt the younger wrapped his arms around him tighter, face pressing further into Jimin's chest. "I love you, Kookie. I really do."

"I know. I love you too, Jiminnie."

And so the two spent the entire night in the room cuddling, giggling and sharing moments of their past year after moving to the bed with the music blaring and party ongoing downstairs.

"Yes!"

"Aww, I wish I could find my phone. This looks too cute!"

"Aish, shut it. You guys are gonna wake them up."

"If he breaks Kook again, I swear I will chop off his dick."

"Yoongi!"

Jungkook groaned as he heard voices surround him, loud and shrilling as they gushed and hushed and then gushed again. He stifled in a warm embra-wait, a warm embrace? His eyes shot open and he winced in pain at the piercing sunlight.

"Oh, great. Now look what you've done." Seokjin, Jungkook identified as he tried to rub his eyes with the limited moving space he has.

He felt the body underneath his shake as Jimin started to wake up, unwrapping his arms in the process and releasing Jungkook out of his hold. The younger male slowly sat up and stared at their smiling group of friends gathered in front of them and then to Jimin who was still unconscious of what was going on.

"K-Kookie?"

"Hyung.."

Jungkook tugged onto Jimin's sleeve in a way to get him to sit up. The older groaned and sat up anyway, eyes widening when he noticed their group of friends at the foot of the bed with wide smiles and smug grins.

Jungkook fell back onto the bed and covered his eyes with an arm, face hot as he remembered the previous night's events. He held onto Jimin's sleeve like a little kid and pouted as he muttered for the older to tell their friends to go away. The five friends cooed at the couple and decided to finally leave when Seokjin tugged them all towards the door, waving goodbye to the couple with a smirk on his lips.

"J-Jungkook-ah?"

"Hm?"

"Look at me."

The younger removed his arm and stared straight into Jimin's dark brown orbs. Heat crept up his cheeks and he tried to cover up his face again. Jimin, who was quicker, grabbed onto his lover's hand in one hand and gripped his chin in the other. The brunette beneath gasped and stared, mouth agape at the sudden gesture.

"What I said last night.." As Jimin started, Jungkook squirmed. They talked about a lot the previous night. From when and how the meaningless affair started to the point where Jimin felt guilty to Jungkook finding out to them laying together at the very moment. 

"W-What about last n-night?" The younger tried to shift his gaze by turning his head but Jimin's grip on his chin was firm, causing the younger to slightly whimper.

Jimin stared into Jungkook's eyes, searching for something. And when he found it, he smiled and planted a soft kiss on the younger's lips, causing the younger to gasp. It was a quick kiss, sort of a peck, but it held a thousand meanings to the two. Jungkook stopped squirming and eventually wrapped his arms around his lover's neck, pulling him down for a longer kiss. 

When they pull apart, smiles were plastered on their faces and happiness was evident in their eyes. Jimin stole another quick kiss, causing Jungkook to giggle. "I mean it, Kook. I really love you. If you'll accept me back into your life, I won't look at anyone but you."

"Hm. I'll think about it." Mischief etched into Jungkook's smile caused Jimin to pout and for the younger to laugh and kiss the plush lips.

"You'll have to do more than pout, Jiminnie."

The older sat up and pulled Jungkook up along with him. Dropping to his one knee as like the day he proposed, he held onto the younger's hand and placed a soft kiss onto it.

"Let's do redo our marriage vows right here and now," Jimin pulled out a simple silver band with a small diamond in the middle from his pants pocket.

"Oh my god. Where'd you even get that? It's gotta cost a fortune!"

"It doesn't matter if it's for you, Kookie. Now.." Holding onto the younger's hand, Jimin kissed his ring finger and slipped the band on. "I know I'm a bastard for being doing what I've done. But I promise, with this ring, that you have all of me. From blood, sweat and tears to my body, mind and soul. You will be my everything because this is a spell you have cast to punish me. I will love you with all I have and I promise me to be the best for you. I will not repeat my mistake and you will be my world. I love you, Jeon Jungkook, yesterday, today, tomorrow, always."

Tears brimmed Jungkook's eyes as he leaned in and kissed Jimin. His Jimin.

"I guess it's my turn," Jimin grinned and nodded, handing Jungkook a similar band. The younger slipped the band on his lover's ring finger and kissed it, smiling. "This is not a spell to punish you and bind you to me forever. Because this is love and we are in love. It is love that makes us the most stupid of things. To forgive each other when we make mistakes. To love one another no matter what happens, no matter when, no matter where. I love you, Park Jimin, with all my heart, yesterday, today, tomorrow, always."

When he was done, the tears were full-on flowing and Jimin was wiping them away, kissing the corners of his eyes. The two lovers leaned in and shared a kiss that represents the many emotions they felt. Pulling apart, Jungkook wrapped his arms around Jimin's neck and the latter wrapping his arms around his lover's waist, holding tight and promising one another to never let go again.
