“우주가 처음 생겨났을 때부터
모든 건 정해진 거였어
Just let me love you (let me love, let me love you)”
The music playing through the speakers came to a soft end, Jimin’s melodic voice fading into silence. The man in front of you didn’t stop his movements, however, he continued dancing without the background track. That’s the thing with Jimin, your boyfriend never stopped moving his body even after the song ended, he always wanted to continue practicing the parts he thought he messed up on. The other boys were down in the building’s café getting something to eat, and although they had invited the Busan boy, he declined, wanting to spend some more time going over his solo before the show in a few days. So from your spot on the practice room floor, you watched as he went over the choreography over and over.
Jimin had made the practice room his home for the past week, going over every song on Bangtan’s setlist until he perfected the choreography. You worried about him sometimes, since he had a tendency to skip his meals whenever a show was approaching just to practice. But no matter what you did to help, you couldn’t always get Jimin to let himself rest.
“Jimin, it’s been an hour since practice ended and you haven’t even sat down for five minutes to rest.” Your voice was laced with worry as you spoke out to the boy in front of you. You loved that your boyfriend was so dedicated to his work, but you wished he would take care of himself too. The last thing you wanted was for something to happen to him because he wasn’t resting or eating properly.
But Jimin ignored your words, continuing to go over a part of the dance he was still struggling with. You let out a sigh, watching the man with worry in your eyes. The worry soon turned into panic once you saw his legs give out and his body hit the floor, the entire scene seeming to play out in slow motion.
“Jimin!” You shot up from where you once sat, rushing over to your boyfriend who was currently laying on the floor in pain. Kneeling next to him, you took his face in your hands and noticed he was dripping with sweat. Your eyes scanned his body for any injuries, but you found none that were visible. But you knew exactly what happened, the boy had overworked his body to the point where his legs couldn’t support his weight anymore. You cursed under your breath.
“I’m fine,” Jimin’s voice was strained as he spoke. He was clearly in no condition to continue dancing, but he still tried to stand back up anyway. This only caused his body to fall back down once he tried to get back on his legs.
“Jimin, I think you should take a break-“
“I said I’m fine!” You immediately went silent. One thing you knew about Jimin was that he rarely got angry, but when he did, he was the scariest of all the members. But even when he was angry, he never raised his voice at you. Ever. You were shocked to say the least, scared of what he might do if you tried to speak to him again.
Part of you understood where this outburst came from. Jimin had been practicing that song for hours without any breaks, and all the frustration he was feeling got to him. The show was in three days and he was beyond stressed. He knew that he shouldn’t have yelled at you, and he felt extremely guilty for doing so, but he wasn’t in control of his emotions right now. He didn’t mean the way he spoke to you at all.
So his anger turned into tears instead, tears of stress, anger, and guilt. You immediately pushed your thoughts aside once you saw his body trembling as he cried, realizing that he needed you right now. So you were back at his side, gently pulling his head to your chest while letting him cry. You ran a hand through his sweaty black hair, knowing that the action was soothing to him. His hand grasped at your shirt as his tears soaked through the fabric, but you didn’t care. Jimin needed something tangible to hold onto, and you were just that for him.
“I’m sorry I yelled at you,” He spoke, his voice cracking slightly as his sobs started to subside. “I didn’t mean it.”
You only shushed him, pressing a gentle kiss to the top of his head. “It’s okay, Jiminie. Look at me.” The boy looked up at you, his puffy eyes meeting yours. “You’re perfect, okay? I know you might not think so sometimes but your fans love you for who you are. They know how hard you work and they would love your performance even if you did happen to mess up. They just want you to take care of yourself, just like the boys and I do.”
The boy nodded, letting your words sink in. It was hard to break the habit of wanting to perfect everything, especially for someone like him who was always hard on himself when he made even one mistake. But he was glad he had you in his life to keep him grounded and to keep him from overworking himself.
“Can we get ramen with everyone else?” You smiled, nodding at his simple request. Standing up first, you wrapped your arm around your boyfriend’s waist and wrapped his around your shoulders to help him stand. The two of you slowly made your way down to the café, where the rest of the boys were waiting with smiles on their faces. They gestured to the two empty seats at their table, two fresh packs of ramen waiting for you and Jimin.
Happy Birthday Yoongi! I hope that this comeback is treating you and the others well. I hope you had a wonderful birthday and enjoyed it with those you love the most. We love our thicc min suga .
Happy Birthday to the hilarious, adorable, multi-talented Kim Taehyung (V)! It’s hard to believe that we are only 6 days apart, but I’m proud to be a fellow Capricorn with this amazing man.
His soothing voice, goofy personality, multiple talents in so many art forms, outlook on life, and love for BTS and ARMY are just some of the many reasons why he’s an irreplaceable BTS member. I hope you’re taking it easy today and celebrating with your loved ones! I purple you, TaeTae!
