Chapter 54: 42

Arranged Marriage || YOONMINWords: 11822

"So" Started off Jin in saying while serving his guests some cheesecake with a friendly smile. "You guys ran away from your engagement party."

"Uh-huh." Said Yoongi in response along with a nod while shoving a handful of cake in his mouth.

"The one that I wasn't invited to." Further remarked Jin, looking clearly ticked off, Sam snorting across from him at his words while Jimin sent him a nervous laugh as he shoved a small piece of cake in his mouth himself.

"Pretty much." Said Yoongi along with an innocent shrug, Jimin choking beside him at his casual answer to the tall older Seokjin who amusingly was looking between the two.

"And now you guys are seeking to refuge yourself in my house."

"You do own me a lot." Said Yoongi with a smirk, Jimin frowning at his words while Jin couldn't help but chuckle.

"Unfortunately." Said Jin along with the shake of his head as he pursued his lips, the man looking at both Yoongi and Jimin up and down, Jin almost laughing at how differently the two sat before him.

Jimin looked tense and cute as heck while he was nervously fidgeting in his seat, and as for Yoongi he sat up straight with his arms crossed over his chest and a wide smirk plastered on his face, the smirk that Jin was ready to rip off of his cat like face.

Sighing to himself while rubbing at the bridge of his nose, Jin sent the two a reassuring smile as he said--

"Of course I'm letting you stay here."

And a breath that Jimin hasn't known he was holding in was set free after the older had said those words, the pink haired boy smiling when Yoongi had placed a hand on his shoulder in an act of comfort as he flashed him a "told you it'll be alright" kind of smile that Jimin almost giggled at.

"However-" said Jin suddenly cutting off Jimin and Yoongi's silent celebration, Jimin flinching in the older man's direction with creased together eyebrows in worry while Yoongi sent him a curious look. "Before you both settle yourselves in--"

Jin suddenly pointed a fork at Yoongi's face which Jimin eyed in horror while Yoongi rolled his eyes knowing whatever the older was going to say next was going to be utterly ridiculous.

And he stood corrected-

"How dare you not invite me to your engagement party Min Yoongi?!"

"Jin just drop it." Sighed Sam, the girl eyes flashing wide in horror after she had uttered those words while Jean beside her whistled.

"Well you're definitely dead."

"I-"

"HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I TOLD YOU TO NOT CALL ME BY MY FIRST NAME?!"

"Nice knowing you Kim Hyerin."

"Jean I am so close in picking your eye out."

"Oh bring it shorty come on."

"Hey!!"

"DON'T IGNORE ME YOU TWO!!"

Yoongi and Jimin could only stare at the chaos before them, both of them fearing that the family feud before them, or whatever's actually going on right now, could start becoming something more.

However, before things could get physical between the mentioned family members, the sound of the door of the house clicking open suddenly was heard by everyone, as the sound of a crash and someone cursing followed it.

"I'm home!!" Announced the tall figure of Kim Namjoon as he appeared in all his glory at his house's living room holding a giant paper bag full of groceries in his arms, all the people in the mentioned room smiling at his arrival as Sam and Jean literally raced their way towards him.

But did they run there to hug him? Nope.

"What'd you get?" Asked Sam while snatching the bag out of her adoptive father's arms as she and Jean then proceeded to run their way towards their kitchen to open it. Namjoon couldn't help but laugh at them while pocketing his keys.

"Nothing that you both would like trust me!!" Exclaimed the man to the both of them as he was going to go to the kitchen to see their reactions over the contents of the bag, but he cut himself off when he noticed the two other faces beside his Jin in the room.

"Yoongi? Jimin?" Asked Namjoon, instantly recognizing his students, Jimin giving the man an awkward wave along with a shaky smile in greeting while Yoongi beside him told him a small and barely audible "hello". "What are you guys doing here?"

'And here we go again.' Thought both Yoongi and Jimin while awkwardly smiling in Namjoon's way, the man's husband laughing at this as he decided to be the one to clear things up in the room.

"Well, funny story. You see--"

||

"--and then they both ran away from their engagement party." Said Jin while giving his husband a piece of cake while serving both of his guests some orange juice, Namjoon staring in surprise at the two before him who both nodded in his direction once Jin had finished telling their story.

"Your parents actually set you up in an arranged marriage?" Asked Namjoon, still in shock over how cliché the whole thing was, the man taking a bite out of his cake as he shook his head in disapproval at how ridiculous their situation was. "This is so wrong on their part. What are we, in the 19th century to still set up arranged marriages? I'm sorry for my rudeness, but god your parents are just-- what's the word I'm looking for to describe them with--"

"Assholes?"

"Self absorbed?"

"Stupid?"

"Well...let's go with dumb." Said Namjoon followed by a chuckle at what each of the people in the room suggested for him to say. "Your parents are pretty dumb to put you two in this kind of situation."

"Well, good thing you guys got out of it, right?" Asked Jin as he took a bite out of his own piece of cake. "You guys did both run away today."

"Yeah we did but--" Yoongi sighed as he worriedly looked in Jimin's direction, the boy narrowing his eyes deeply when he found him looking deep in thought. "--I don't really think we did the right thing by doing so." Jin sent the both of them a sympathetic look at this.

"Why?"

Jimin and Yoongi shared a look before turning towards their teachers direction once more.

"Well..." Started off Yoongi in saying, Jimin fidgeting in his seat beside him while Yoongi squeezed his hand in reassurance. "You see..."

Namjoon couldn't help but look in pity at the two.

"You're afraid of what your parents are going to say about this, aren't you?"

The slow and hesitant nod that he got in response to his question from the two made him suddenly wanting to adopt the both of them and protect them forever.

"So, you both regret running away?" Asked Jin suddenly to the two, taking aback Yoongi as he stared in surprise at him.

"Uuh, well--"

"I don't personally." Said Jimin after staying silent all this time, surprising everyone in the room by his firm answer. "I...I think we did the right choice by running away."

Both Jin and Namjoon couldn't help but fondly look at the two.

"And why is that Jimin?" Asked Jin to the boy, a snicker almost leaving his mouth when he saw Yoongi look at the pink haired boy with curious eyes over his upcoming answer.

Jimin suddenly felt pressured at how everyone was looking at him, like they were expecting him to say something heroic to them all, as he definitely wasn't going to do that because he was never the type to talk a lot in the first place.

Though he decided to push that nervousness of his aside, and clear his throat, as he voiced his true feelings and thoughts about his and Yoongi's escape.

"Because even though me and Yoongi really--" Jimin made sure he made direct eye contact with Yoongi as he said his next words. "Love each other." The boy couldn't help but smile when Yoongi's eyes had widened in shock over his revelation. "I--i don't think we're ready to take that step in our lives."

Jimin took Yoongi's hands and gave him a smile as he looked in his eyes.

"We don't want to ruin what we have with taking things fast like this." Said Jimin, the boy smile stretching itself even more on his face when Yoongi's eyes looked at him like he was his whole world. "We want...." Jimin frowned at his words, as he shook his head slightly to himself while he was still looking Yoongi in the eye. "We need to take things slow in this." Said Jimin, directing his words towards Yoongi, who smiled at him while nodding in confirmation at what he said, the brown haired boy wanting nothing more but to crush Jimin in a hug right now.

And Namjoon and Jin looked at them from the side like a couple of fangirls watching a yaoi anime.

"So" started off Jin in saying, the man looking at the two with teasing eyes as he said his next words. "You guys love each other, huh?"

Jimin and Yoongi froze in their places as they slowly turned their heads towards Jin, the two looking at him like he had grown a third head, Namjoon almost bursting out laughing at their reactions.

The two then slowly turned their heads back to look at each other, as a knowing glance was shared between them.

And they both cutely smiled at each other.

"Yeah." Said Yoongi, perfectly voicing out Jimin's thoughts. "We do."

The boy squeezed both Jimin's hands into his own.

"We love each other."

Namjoon and Jin could only fondly star at the love birds.

And again, Namjoon had the sudden urge to adopt the two and protect them forever.

At the entrance of the room, Jean and Sam could be seen standing together with their sides supported by the door frame, the two looking at the scene before them with almost sparkling eyes.

"This is so sweet."

"Imagine being this cute with someone."

"Pff, can't relate." And the two looked at each other and burst out laughing while sharing a side hug.

"So here's the room you two are going to be staying in." Said Jin as he guided Yoongi and Jimin to his house's guest room, the man putting a stack of clothes on their bed as he added to them: " Here's some comfy clothes for you to wear, and that door that's on your right is your private bathroom. Oh, and the other one on your left leads to a closet, though don't go in there it's haunted."

Ignoring his last remark, Jimin nodded with a smile on his face as he bowed along with Yoongi to the man before them in thanks for everything him and his husband were doing for them.

"Thank you so much Mr. Kim." Said Jimin, Jin laughing at the boy as he patted his head.

"No problem!!" Exclaimed Jin as he made his way to the door, the man flashing the two a friendly smile. "And please, call me hyung!!" And he shut their door before the two could protest, both Jimin and Yoongi chuckling at the older.

"Well," said Jimin, as he looked around the room they were in, his eyes eyeing the single wide bed that was in the room. "Looks we're going to have to share a--"

Before Jimin got the chance to finish his next words, he was cut off by Yoongi, grabbing him by his upper arm, and crashing his soft lips into his, the boy getting taken aback by the unexpected rough kiss from the other, who pulled back just as how abruptly he came close to him like this.

"So" said Yoongi while his panting breath spilled in Jimin's face, whose mouth was still wet with the taste of him. "You love me, huh?"

Jimin chuckled at the sudden question, his eyes looking up into Yoongi's own, the boy smiling at him as he licked his lips.

"Yeah." He said, feeling himself getting lost in Yoongi's eyes. "I love you idiot."

Yoongi laughed slightly while he held him by his waist as he brought their mouths closer once again, his lips mumbling five words to Jimin before he closed the gap between them.

"I love you too, Jimin."

And after Yoongi had kissed the living day lights out of Jimin, he softly pushed him to lay on the only bed of the room, the brown haired boy licking his lips as he haughtily looked down at Jimin's surprised face while getting on top of him.

"This isn't going to be pretty ChimChim, so you better be quiet while we do this."

"H--huh?!"
