Oh boy.
To say that time seemed like it froze around Jimin and Yoongi would be a fact honestly.
Both of the boys froze in their place when they came face to face with Jimin's mother, who was the one who opened the door for them, as Park Mina seemed to be regarding the two with wide and tired looking eyes, as from the looks of it, it looked like she hadn't had a good night sleep last night.
The three looked at each other up and down as if making sure each of them were real, as the first one who seemed to finally realise that this situation was very real was Jimin's mother, who flinched as a gasp out of surprise escaped her mouth.
Instantly, she threw her arms around both her son and Yoongi's form, the two getting startled by her sudden action as they shared a look behind her back.
"Thank god!!" Exclaimed the woman as she was close to shedding tears at this point. "You guys are okay!!" Jimin patted his mother on her back with his eyes narrowed in confusion while Yoongi was still awkwardly frozen in her hold.
"Mina who's at the--?" Yoongi's mother froze in her place when she saw both of her son and Jimin being hugged at the door by her best friend, her eyes staring in surprise at the sight of her son and Jimin at the door.
'So their back huh...' the woman could only feel relief wash over her over that fact.
When her eyes met Yoongi's own however, she could only stare at her feet in shame while her son regarded her with emotionless eyes.
"Come in!! Come in quick!!" Exclaimed Jimin's mother frantically as she pushed at both of Jimin and Yoongi's figures inside the house, both of the boys sliding their way inside the house with wide eyes. "We need to talk!! Now!" And as the woman pushed them inside the house, she slammed the front door of the Min's house harshly.

7:00 am- At Yoongi and Jimin's high school:
"Y/N. Taehyung." Sighed Hoseok out to both of you and Taehyung while his eyes shifted from side to side at the whispering students that passed by the three of you, the boy sheepishly smiling at every last one of them while he tried to distract them from the current main attraction in the school, which was none other then the figures of you and Kim Taehyung sitting side to side at the gate of your school with your arms crossed over your chests, and a clear stubborn gaze in your eyes. "Come on. We have to get inside."
Both of your responses to his words came instantly, and was answered the same way a stubborn child would--
"Nu-uh."
"Don't wanna."
"Oh come on." Said Hoseok followed by a groan when he literally saw two girls talking behind his back over the three of you. "You guys look ridiculous sitting here! And plus, people are looking!! Do you guys want to ge in trouble?" Whispered/yelled Hoseok to the both of you, the boy trying in getting some sense in both of your heads, though his words did really little to no help as he found out that last fact to be true when you literally looked at him with killer eyes.
"Hoseok."
"Y--yeah?"
"Do I look like I care?"
"...no?"
"Exactly." Hoseok looked at you in disbelief while Taehyung continuously nodded in satisfaction at your words. "Let them talk and have fun all they want, I'm camping out here until my Jimin shows up."
"Same here." Said Taehyung while giving you a high five, as the boy crossed his arms over his chest once again. "I'm not moving my ass from here before Jimin shows up."
Hoseok could only sigh for the nth time that morning. Seriously, when did you two become so stubborn?
"Fine." Said Hoseok to the both of you as he rubbed at his left temple. "Sit down out here all you want."
"Oh we will."
"And your welcome to join us just like Jungkook will in a few minutes.~"
"Oh, I will." Stated Hoseok as he sat beside you with his backpack tucked safely by his knee. "If I don't, one of you will probably end up beating up one of those people that are talking behind your backs." Both you and Taehyung shared a look at this, as both of you then turned towards Hoseok with impressed eyes.
"Wow. You got a point."
"You know us so well." Hoseok could only chuckle at the both of you. He was going to add more but he was cut off when a conversation that was playing on behind you three caught his and both of you and Taehyung's attention.
"Did you hear about Jimin and Yoongi?"
"Of course I did! They're the main talk of the school right now!"
"Right?! They ran away from their engagement party!!"
"Not only are they both not straight, but they don't even want to tie the knot with one another. Even though I heard they forced their parents in letting them to get engaged in the first place. How more disgusting can they even be?" (A/N: I had the urge to throw up then slam my head against the wall while I was typing this honestly-)
You, Taehyung and Hoseok could only stare forward in disbelief at what you had just heard.
Huh. People can be that stupid?
"I-- you know what fine, I'm gonna punch them."
"Y/N no."
"But Hoseok their literally begging me to do it."
"Y/N nO."
"I would go for a kick in the face."
"Taehyung--!"
"Fine then, a slap."
"Oh for god's sake--"
And as Hoseok restrained you from beating the crap out of the girls that were still shamelessly speaking at Jimin negatively behind you, Hoseok thought with pleading eyes to the heavens--
'Jimin, Yoongi, please come back already--'

The seating arrangement that happened in the min's living room once Jimin and Yoongi had stepped inside the house was amusing to say the least.
On one side of the room, sat the parents looking conflicted and nervous.
On the other side, sat both Jimin and Yoongi in their suits looking like some rich and handsome ceo's with their legs crossed over each other and their narrowed eyes regarding their parents carefully.
If this story was a a fairy tale, in this situation both Jimin and Yoongi would've been the kings judging and condemning the peasants of their kingdom which were their very own parents, as they were demanding an apology for their all doings.
Though this was for another cliché story, as in this situation, the parents were simply the guilty ones and both Jimin and Yoongi were the innocent.
"Okay" started off Jimin in saying along with a sigh while he looked at his parents with the same careful eyes. "Let us start talking." The parents did not protest one bit as they ushered and eagerly nodded for the boy to talk. "First of all--"
Jimin turned his head to look at Yoongi with a small smile tugging at his lips, the other instantly smiling himself at him, as if the grim look he was giving his parents only seconds ago didn't even exist or happen, as both the boys slipped their hands together, their parents before them feeling taken aback by their sudden exchange.
"Me and Yoongi are dating." A series of baffled chokes were exchanged from the parents side at this while they regarded their children in surprise. "You could say us running away on Saturday was how our first date went down." Yoongi chuckled at Jimin's words while the boy grinned at him, Jimin's mother along with his father smiling gently at the sight of their son looking this happy.
"Second of all" Yoongi was the one talking this time. "We're sorry for running away like this."
"W--wait" said Yoongi's mother suddenly, the woman protesting instantly at the sound of Yoongi's apology while shaking her head with clear sadness in her eyes. "Don't apologise for this, we were--"
"No we have to." Said Yoongi to his mother as he cut her off while the woman looked at him almost desperately. "It was childish of us, and we could've just told you that we weren't comfortable with this. We--" the boy was cut off by the sound of his father sighing, his brow raising in surprise when the man stared at him with a regretful gaze.
"Yoongi" said Yoongi's father as he tiredly regarded the two. "What are you guys talking about?" Asked the man as he got up from his seat to walk towards the two who could only look at him with wide eyes. "How can you even say that you guys were childish?"
"Dad--"
"No Yoongi." Said the man cutting his son off, as Yoongi looked at him in shock. "Let me finish, please." Yoongi shut his mouth at the sound of the man's pleading as he waited along with Jimin to hear what he had to say to the both of them.
"We were the childish ones in this whole thing." Said the man as he regretfully looked at the two. "We forced you in a marriage that you clearly didn't want to happen, forced you to take over our business which was also something you very clearly didn't want." The man sighed at all his past actions while shaking his head. "We almost...almost took away your youth, the one thing that you should enjoy to the fullest in your lives."
"We basically took away your freedom." Said Jimin's father as he walked over to stand beside his friend. "And we almost made you get married at such a young age..." Jimin and Yoongi smiled at the sight of their parents actually stating that they were at fault in this whole thing. "We're sorry guys."
"We're very sorry." Stated Jimin's mother as she now stood beside her husband. "We really are you two."
"This whole arranged marriage-" said Yoongi's mother as she walked over with a sheet of paper in her hands, which was the contract that started this whole story, Jimin and Yoongi glaring at the mentioned paper and looking like they were keeping their guard up from it as if it was going to grow itself a pair of swords and fight the both of them.
However, even though I'm really tempted to let such a ridiculous thing happen, and I love me some action you know (ಢâ±à²¢ ｡), before the boys could attempt to attack it, they were taken aback when Yoongi's mother had ripped it in half as she and the others smiled down at them. "-you can forget about it. It's over."
"And it's never going to happen again." Stated Yoongi's father with a grin, his friends nodding at his words while they chuckled.
Jimin could only happily look at the people who raised in that moment for the first time in a while, as he smiled while turning over to look at Yoongi excitedly, the other laughing at his happy smile as he bumped his forehead into his, their parents lovingly looking at them as they silently celebrated their win.
They won. They were free now. They could happily enjoy whatever was going on between them, without anyone forcing them to do anything.
All that was left to say now was-
"Dad." Said Jimin as he let go of Yoongi to look at his father in the eye. "I...I want to be a dancer after I graduate."
"And I want to play music." Announced Yoongi himself as he got up from his seat to stand beside Jimin, their parents smiling at them both while nodding in understanding.
"Your free to choose whatever you guys want to be."
And both families smiled as they laughed and happily hugged one another.

At around 7:50 am at Jimin and Yoongi's high school:
"Now there's" said Hoseok as he peered down at his watch to see the time. "Exactly 10 minutes before the bell rings." You and Taehyung groaned beside him at his sudden announcement.
"Oh man I can't skip the first period, I have math with Mr. Kim." You complained out loud while you desperately looked at your surroundings, hoping that Jimin and Yoongi would magically, and finally, pop up somewhere around you, as you were only met with the sight of a pack of pigeons running around on the side. "Where are they?"
"Do you think their going to skip?" Worriedly asked Jungkook beside his boyfriend who was depressingly looking at the pack of pigeons that were running around on the side, the boy giving them a hard stare as if one of them was magically going to turn into Jimin if he did. "It's been almost an hour since we've been sitting here." Taehyung nodded at Jungkook's words as he stubbornly crossed his arms over his chest while straining his back.
"It has and I'm still staying strong to my belief that my Jiminie will come." Announced the boy while his younger boyfriend sighed at his antics while playing with the ring that was placed inside a necklace around his neck.
"Taehyung's right I guess." Sighed out Hoseok as he took off his watch and pocketed it in his pants. "We waited all this time, might as well wait a few minutes as well." You smiled beside him at his words, as you were going to turn around and thank the boy for sticking around with you and Taehyung all this time.
Though the sight of a car zooming in suddenly before your school grounds cut you off from doing so, your eyes widening as you instantly recognized who that car belonged too.
"You guys they're--!!"
You all immediately jumped up into your feet when Yoongi and Jimin had simultaneously got out of the car, both of them staring in shock at the sight of you all huddled up before the school.
"What the--?"
And then came in all your excited shouts as you all raced your way to greet the two with a hug.
"Jimin/Yoongi/hyung!!"
A series of "oof" 's escaped the couple's mouths when you all had literally jumped on them, as Yoongi couldn't help but chuckle while Jimin laughed loudly at Tae and you.
"Yeah, yeah I missed you guys too." Said Jimin while literally patting all of your heads. "Come on let's go to class before the bell rings."
"W--wait!" You proclaimed out as you worriedly placed both of your hands on Jimin's shoulder while the other looked at you curiously, two questions that currently everyone around you was wondering slipping out of your mouth-
"Are you guys okay?? What happened?"
Jimin and Yoongi both smiled while sharing a look before Yoongi had turned over to say to you all with the widest of smiles-
"It's all over."
You and the other looked at Yoongi in shock at his words while both the boys laughed at your reactions.
"S--so" started off Hoseok in saying as in excited smile stretched on his face. "Does that mean--?" Jimin excitedly nodded towards him.
"We're not getting married." Announced Jimin happily, the boy slipping his hand into Yoongi's own while he added: "but we're dating now."
And the feeling of shock at the announcements that the couple were making was still being felt by all of you while Yoongi and Jimin could only laugh at your reactions.
"C--congratulations!!"
"I'm so happy for you two!!"
"Congratulation hyung!"
"YES!" Exclaimed out Taehyung while popping a confetti behind Jimin's head, the poor boy's almost screaming in surprise at the others sudden act as he turned to look at him in bewilderment.
"Taehyung what the heck?!"
"What?" Innocently asked Taehyung along with his usual wide grin. "That day when you sneaked over to my house Y/N didn't buy that confetti for nothing." Jimin choked at his words while Hoseok and Yoongi looked between the two with confused eyes. You couldn't help but chuckle at your friend.
"Why do you even have it in your school bag?" You curiously asked with amusement clearly in your tone while Taehyung shyly laughed, followed by him proudly claiming that--
"You have to be prepared for everything in life my dear friend." You laughed at this as you Taehyung then had a mini battle with the confetti that was thrown around you, you and him ticking Jimin off when you started stuffing the small colourful paper in his hair while Hoseok and Yoongi along with Jungkook laughed at your antics.
"Oh yeah what about those ropes that I found in your room that Y/N also got though?" Asked Jungkook curiously himself to his boyfriend, whose mouth had shaped itself into a small "oh" at the thought of the mentioned ropes, Jimin before the both of them going beat red at the memory of why you had bought those ropes in the first place.
"Why would they need ropes?" Whispered Hoseok curiously to Yoongi who shrugged as his clueless eyes looked at the situation before him.
"No idea."
"Hey let's just give them to Yoongi, I'm sure he'll use them for something with Jimin himself."
"Y/N!"
"Oh yeah!! Here Yoongi!!"
"Why do you even have that in your bag?!"
"....thank you."
"Yoongi!"
And you all laughed at the sight of Jimin snatching the ropes from Yoongi's hold as the other teased him by giving the ropes to Jungkook who raised them above his head where the older could clearly not reach, all of you rushing inside the school and towards your classrooms when the bell of had finally rang.

"Hey Jimin." Said Yoongi as him and Jimin were in his car driving their way back from school, the pink haired boy beside him giving him a hum in acknowledgement to his calling while he looked out the window from his seat.
"Yeah Yoongi?" Asked him Jimin without even sparing him a glance, the boy not noticing Yoongi nervously tapping his finger on the black steering wheel before him.
"Let's just say--" Yoongi paused to find the right word to phrase his thoughts. "Hypothetically--"
Feeling intrigued after he noticed that Yoongi was literally nervously fidgeting in his seat, Jimin curiously peered at him with narrowed eyes.
"If I would, like, not now of course, in the future maybe yes--" Jimin smiled at Yoongi's small babbling. "If I would ask you to--" breathing in, Yoongi slowly let his car come to a stop in front of his house before he said his next words. "--to marry me."
Yoongi could feel Jimin now looking at him in surprise at his sudden question, as after clearing his throat he stated with a raised finger:
"Hypothetically speaking of course, how would you react to that exactly?"
Jimin softly chuckled at the sudden question. "Why are you asking this now? Didn't we agree that we didn't want to think about this at all?"
"I--i know but--" Yoongi sighed while slipping his seatbelt off of him. "It was just a thought. Forget it."
"Well" Said Jimin suddenly beside Yoongi before the other got out of his car, his form flinching over Jimin's seat where he found him looking at him with a clear playful gleam in his eyes. "Hypothetically speaking--" Yoongi chuckled at this while Jimin gave him a teasing smile.
"Maybe in the future if things go the way I want too--"
Jimin cupped Yoongi's cheek and stared directly into his eyes, his cheeks going upwards when his smile grew more when Yoongi had leaned in to his touch and regarded him with a grin.
"What will you hypothetically say?" Asked Yoongi to the boy through a mutter as he slowly got closer to Jimin, who continued to smile at the other.
"That you're maybe bearable to marry after all." And Yoongi wholeheartedly laughed at this as he closed the gape between him and Jimin and sweetly kissed him, the mentioned boy kissing him back with his lips still peeking up into the same smile.
