Jungkook Pov
Hand in hand, I walked through the night market with Jimin, who was currently exhibiting here. I hadn't heard from Taehyung in three days, but the picture that Jin had sent me, Tae soaking wet and glittering purple... was now hanging in my office, where I had stuck it on the dartboard. Bambam had also painted devil horns on him and Yugyeom a beard, after which we all cracked up laughing harder than we had for a long time, he just looked ridiculous. I was still grinning inside because of the photo. But I couldn't think about my unfaithful ex for long, because Jimin quickly drew attention back to himself by holding pink candy floss in front of my mouth, which I then took a bite of with a smile. 
"It's so delicious, I love cotton candy," he said, beaming, and I couldn't help but smile because he was so cute.
"It's just as sweet as you are." I said casually, whereupon he clung to my arm and looked at me happily... I knew how much he liked compliments.
"You always say such nice things. If you keep it up, I'll never let you go again." he said, playfully embarrassed, and my heart warmed. His eyes looked at me so innocently and yet seductively at the same time, oh God... how could someone have such beautiful eyes?  My mouth went dry and my heartbeat quickened before I leaned in and gave him a soft kiss on the lips.
"Who says I even want to go again?" I asked, my eyebrow raised coquettishly, and he chuckled at my fake serious expression. The lie, which was no longer a lie at all, echoed in my head again and again... No, I really didn't want to leave. The enthusiasm with which he had looked at everything here, the sparkle in his eyes, his cute affection... Who was I kidding? I had long since fallen completely for him, but it was supposed to be the other way around. I couldn't leave him out of revenge because I would probably hurt myself just as much as him and I couldn't really take any more. I suddenly didn't care that he had been "The Other", I had fallen head over heels in love with him, I had forgiven him long ago without realizing it. Biting my lip, I stopped and took his small hands firmly in mine and looked into his eyes with a smile. He returned my gaze expectantly and the warmth in his eyes made my stomach flutter like crazy.
"Minnie... I'm serious... about us... maybe it started out as something casual because I wasn't over my last relationship... but with you everything is so much easier and I already feel so much more closeness between us than I did in a year with my ex... I'm so totally in love with you..." I confessed to him spontaneously, but was interrupted by the all too familiar voice of my brother, who suddenly put a hand on my shoulder.
"Well, little brother... Did I catch you on a date? Cute little guy, better than the last one..." he said with a grin, emphasizing the word "last" disparagingly and looking at Jimin appraisingly from bottom to top.
"Hobi, where are your manners? You'd better introduce yourself first..." Hobi's fiancé, Yoongi, scolded him.
"Hobi hyung, Yoongi hyung..." I exclaimed happily and gave them both a quick hug, which made Jimin smile... with Hobi, I always became the little brother who clung to the eldest like a limpet and Jimin didn't even know this side of me yet, but seemed to find it just as cute as I always saw him. 
"This is my boyfriend, Jimin... and Jimin, this is my brother Hoseok and his future husband Yoongi." I introduced them and they all bowed politely.
"Nice to meet you." Jimin said kindly and Yoongi smiled benevolently at me. 
"Hold this one, he's much better suited to you than that Taehyung..." he whispered and I was glad that Jimin hadn't heard....
