Knowing he wouldn't be coming until much later since he a music video recording and a celebratory dinner with the rest of the members, I made myself a quick dinner then settled on the sofa with a movie. I had tried to convince Jimin that he didn't need to come since I knew it would be a late night and he should get his rest, but he had insisted. He told me he slept better when he was with me and it was enough for me to relent and let him come, but it's not like I really could have said no to him anyway.

A ding from my phone had me smiling. My bestie had been busy the last couple weeks so her request for a video chat was well received. The image came through and I answered it excitedly.

"Hey bestie! How are you?" I was excited to see her face since it had been entirely too long since we last spoke like this.

"I'm good!" She leaned forward in eagerness. "How's the perfect boyfriend doing?" the thought of Jimin immediately made me smile and she laughed out loud. "Ohh? He's that good, huh?"

I couldn't stop the blush that covered my cheeks. "Come on. It's Park Jimin for goodness sake. Of course he's that good. The man is perfect."

She eyed me strangely for a moment. "Wait... what's going on? I can see in your eyes that it's something."

Hesitating for a moment, I thought about what to tell her. I knew if I told her what was going on then she would panic, but I knew if I didn't tell her, she would bug me until I did. "Um... the CEO of BigHit called Jimin and the rest of the guys in for a meeting yesterday. They... they received an email about... about someone wanting to hurt me. They... want me dead."

Her eyes widened and her mouth dropped open, the horror crystal clear on her face. "Oh Y/N! What... what is going to happen?"

"Nothing right now. We don't really go out on dates. The fans don't know my name or any of my personal information so that helps." I sighed, letting the frustration take over me. "I knew that fans would be angry when they confirmed our relationship, but I... I just didn't think they would be angry enough to want to kill me."

"That is a little on the extreme side. Did they expect him to stay single forever?"

I shrugged my shoulders. "I... I don't know. Sometimes ARMY confuses me. It's strange the lengths they would go to keep their idol single. If they thought it was enough to break us up then they were wrong. I love Jimin and he... he loves me."

"Atta girl! You protect your man from crazy fans!" She pumped a fist in the air and I had to laugh. "Don't let some silly girls, and you know it's probably younger girls, get in the way of your relationship with Mr. Cutie Sexy Lovely."

Her support made me grin and I realized it was exactly what I needed. "I love him. I really do. He... he makes me want to be better. I want to make sure I deserve him. sometimes I... I wonder if I'm good enough for him."

She narrowed her eyes at me and her lips turned down in disappointment. "Don't you ever question yourself like that. Jimin noticed something special about you, something that was enough to make him want to get to know you. And on top of that, the man fell in love with you. He's the one that pursued you and asked you to be his girlfriend. He sees something in you."

Although I partially knew she was right, I still questioned whether or not I was good enough for him. Did I really deserve him? "Anyways, what's going on with you? How did the interviews go?"

"You are looking at the new Assistant Lead Designer for bKL Architecture in Chicago!" The grin on her face was bright enough to rival Hoseok's and I couldn't help but give a little shout in excitement for her.

I clapped my hands in enthusiasm. "Oh my god! I'm so happy for you! Didn't they design that beautiful building in China?"

"Jinhua Tower? They sure did. Now... now I get to be part of something that designs these beautiful buildings all over the world." The happiness on her face was clear and I couldn't be more excited for her if I tried. She had wanted to be an architectural engineer since she was in 8th grade and had started watching design shows on YouTube. Now for her to be a part of something so amazing was fantastic for her and I couldn't wait to see where it would lead. "The CEO, Lane Danielson, said I will be able to travel!"

I knew this was the icing on the cake for her new position. She had always wanted to travel and see the world. Knowing this company designed buildings all over the world was one of the reasons she had applied. Seeing her dreams come true made me so happy for my friend and part of me wished I was there so I could hug her.

We talked for a little while longer and she told me a little more about her new boss, the Lead Designer, Bryan Michaelson. She couldn't help but mention that he was handsome and I had to laugh. Lucky she was smart enough to not get involved with her boss so I knew she was safe. She definitely wouldn't do anything stupid to risk her new career.

After the phone call ended, I sat back on the sofa, my mind traveling back to everything that happened in the last year and a half and how much different our lives were now. It seemed like just yesterday we were flying back from Disney and Jimin was liking my photo. Now here I am living in South Korea, sitting on the sofa at my flat, waiting for Jimin to arrive. Part of me didn't want to believe this life was mine, but the other part of me knew just how lucky I was.

Since I couldn't be there to celebrate with her, I knew I would have to figure something out. I went into the kitchen, grabbed a bottle of wine and poured myself a glass. I set it on the coffee table and snapped a quick photo before taking a sip. I posted the photo, grinning to myself.

A knock on the door pulled me from my thoughts and when I opened it, a sleepy eyed Jimin was on the other side. "Hey my Noona!" His voice was soft and as soon as he stepped in, he pulled off his mask and beanie then tugged me into his arms. "I missed you."

"Aww Jimin baby. You saw me this morning since you slept here last night." This snuggly side of Jimin was one of my favorites. His cuddles were the absolute best and if the rest of our time together was nothing but this, I would be completely happy with it. "But I missed you too."

Jimin grinned then kissed my lips gently. "I was hoping you would. How... how you feel after yesterday?" Although he was smiling, his eyes were worried.

I ran a hand through his hair, trying to soothe his anxious heart. "I'm okay. I promise you."

Jimin nodded then tugged my hand, leading me over to the sofa. He eyed the wine on the coffee table. "Special occasion?"

"Yep! My best friend from home got her dream job today. Since I cant be there to celebrate with her, I poured that." I know it might sound silly, but since it was the only way to celebrate with her, I didn't know what else to do.

"You're so cute." Jimin lifted the glass and drained the contents. "Well I drink to your best friend too." Setting the glass on the table, Jimin sat down on the sofa then held out his arms to me. "Now we cuddle."

Yep. If this was all we did, it would be perfect for me!
