"Puppy Face"
****
3rd Person POV
Jimin had his arms crossed against his chest, his legs stretched out straight while he swung his feet lightly, allowing his shoe covered feet to tap against each other. He was currently seated in Jungkooks car, buckled in snugly while Jungkook sat in the drivers seat.
"Kook please..." Jimin pouted, gazing at Jungkook who currently has his eyes locked onto the road, trying his best to not fall victim to Jimins killer puppy eyes. He knew all too well that he didn't stand a chance against them.
"Please what baby boy?" Jungkook acted oblivious, as if this wasn't the billionth time that they were having this conversation.
"Pleaseeee just a little hint! You don't have to tell me where we're going exactly, I promise I'll stop asking if you give me a hint!" Jimin pleaded, his small hand tugging at Jungkooks sleeve.
Jungkook smiled deviously, chuckling at Jimins desperate attempts despite the fact that he'll soon find out. "It's a building, so we're going to be indoors"
Jimin nodded his head, trying his best to refrain from asking anymore questions. "W-will there be a lot of p-people?..."
Jungkook grasped Jimins hand in his own gently, softly weaving his fingers through Jimins own as he clasped them for comfort, rubbing his thumb against Jimins hand soothingly.
"No baby, I rented the whole place out" Jungkook smiled at him assuringly. "Although there are some people I want you to meet"
Jungkook brought Jimins hand -which was entwined in his own- to his lips, pressing a soft kiss onto it, then held it in place for a few moments, allowing it to hover mere millimetres away from his lips as he relished in the decadent scent.
"Who? Have I met them before?" Jimin bit his lips, before quickly releasing them.
"I'm pretty sure you've seen one of them before, although you hadn't exchanged any formalities. The rest you haven't met, though you might've heard about them or seen them on tv"
"They're famous?"
"I guess you can say that. They're successful, but they're very kind and humble people. I consider them my family"
Jimin smiled at Jungkooks sincere words, the tone he had used making it more heartwarming. He started to already like them just from seeing the way Jungkook spoke so fondly of them.
"How many are they?" Jimin tilted his head, his golden locks ruffling to the side and sweeping across his forehead.
"Only six. They've been bugging me for the longest time now in order to meet you. One in particular scolding me like the mom he is on having to meet his 'new baby' " Jungkook chuckled
Jimins cheeks burned a deep rose, yet he couldn't hold back the warm feeling in his heart that anticipated their meeting.
"What are their names?"
"You'll find out soon. They wanted to introduce themselves, so I'll leave it to them" Jungkook winked
Jimin averted his eyes shyly, dropping his gaze to their interlocked hands and smiling at them softly.
"I can't wait to meet them kook, they seem like incredible people"
"They really are..."
The remaining ride was accompanied by a blissful silence. In which both Jungkook and Jimin stole glances at each other every now and then to satisfy their greedy eyes and needy minds.
And so inevitably when their eyes locked, Jimin couldn't help but giggle out loud in embarrassment as Jungkook was no different, his throaty chuckle booming in all its deepness and husky allure.
Before long, Jungkook was reversing his car into the parking lot of their destination. Jimins eyes were wide with curiosity as he assessed and took in his surroundings, pouting when he still couldn't make out where they were. Instead his body and mind soothed over when the caramel tint provided by the sun glistened upon his smooth porcelain skin, giving him a more radiant angelic glow than he already exuded.
Jimin spaced out for a moment, closing his eyes and reviling in the sunlight that kissed at his skin lightly. Jungkook watched him with a longing, loving grin. He took in the delectable sight before him, boring it into his mind. At times it felt like Jimins mind was in an alternate universe, like it was detached from his body while he was deep in thought.
And Jungkook completely understood as to why, so he gave him the space he needed and allowed him that time as he knew it was all a part of the healing process. Jimin wasn't the type to allow himself to fully depend on people, it only hurt him more and made him feel useless. So it was really important for him to come to terms with things on his own first, before taking the next step.
However what Jungkook didn't know, was that Jimin had finally come to terms with himself. All that's left now, is for him to let Jungkook in. It was finally time, that Jimin broke the seal on his lips, that he was no longer mute on the tragedy that kept its poisonous claws wrapped around his soul.
Jimin was broken out of his daze when he felt a large hand rest upon his flushed cheek. Jimin smiled at the realisation that it was Jungkook, as the fingertips of Jungkooks hands were always cold, despite the rest of his hand being quite warm.
"Everything ok baby?" Jungkook voiced softly, his deep raspy voice sending chills spiralling down Jimins spine.
"Couldn't be better actually" Jimin smiled so brightly, leaning into Jungkooks touch as he got him out of the car.
Jungkook felt relief flood his body at the genuine look swerving in Jimins almond coloured orbs. The honesty and pure content relishing in the depths of his eyes had Jungkook awestruck, a wide proud smile dancing on his lips as he pulled his baby into a tight comforting embrace.
"I'm glad baby, I really am" jungkook placed a gentle long kiss on Jimins luscious glossy lips, groaning at the sweet cherry flavour coating Jimins lips beautifully. "Now, you ready to meet my family?"
"I've been ready since the moment you told me about them!" Jimin giggled
Jungkook chuckled, ruffling Jimins hair as they walked the flowered pathway to the entrance of the building. "Quick warning, they're a bit crazy"
"Aren't we all?"
"Touché" Jungkook dipped his head, brows raising in agreement.
Jimin shook his head, laughing at Jungkooks playful nature -despite his dominant persona- as he cuddled himself closer into Jungkooks side. Jungkooks natural musk and the expensive cologne mingling as one and leaving behind an enticing yet comforting aroma. One that has Jimin feeling at utmost security whilst fuelling a deeper desire that burned fiercely at the pit of his stomach. It was simply, and undeniably, enticing,
Jungkooks arm was snaked around Jimins slim waist possessively, as they entered the front doors of the lavish building. Instantly the mouthwatering array of dishes and the aroma that they produced wafted Jimins senses and left him sighing contently.
"Oh my god that smells exquisite" Jimin gawked quietly to himself.
"Baby, you're about to meet the best chef in the world" Jungkook rasped, a devilish grin marking its territory on his lips.
Jimin furrowed his brows in disbelief "Better than you?"
"He's the one that taught me" Jungkook smirked
Jimins eyes widened in astonishment, feeling himself become more giddy in anticipation, which helped ease his nerves slightly.
Jimins mouth fell agape the moment his eyes laid on the restaurant interior. It practically glimmered and shone so brightly it had him squinting his eyes.
It truly was marvelous, refined with the highest degree of sophistication and elegance. Jimin has been to almost every top quality restaurant in all of South Korea, yet this one was so beautifully gratifying, the other restaurants couldn't even begin to compare.
A magnificent chandelier hung from the ceiling, almost like a crystal blanket that showered from above, enveloping the room as a whole.
"Speechless?" Jungkook grinned, admiring the awestruck expression adorning Jimins soft features.
Jimin merely nodded his head, unable to form any sentences as his wide puppy eyes scanned the room in pure fascination.
A loud squeal broke him out of his trance, his eyes darting towards the direction of the voice, where he was met with six highly attractive men. So strikingly handsome and beautiful he almost choked on his own saliva.
"My baby!" A beautiful male screeched joyously as he practically sprinted towards Jungkook and Jimin, more so in Jimins direction.
Jimin unconsciously clung to Jungkooks sleeve with his tiny hand as the fear of being touched crippled through his skin, a shaky breath stumbling out his suddenly dry throat as he was heaved into a loving embrace and swung through the air by the beauty that ran at him.
His hands trembled at the sudden contact and the lack of time to prepare and compose himself for it. He closed his eyes tightly, trying to control his breathing in order to prevent himself from hyperventilating.
Jimin was suddenly ripped away from the beautiful strangers embrace as he felt two large muscular, yet very familiar arms wrap around him and cradle him into a soothing embrace. His body instantly relaxed, melting into the arms of his man.
He nuzzled his head into Jungkooks broad chiselled chest as Jungkook whispered sweet nothings into his ear and swayed him slightly to help further ease him. Jimin was oblivious to the six pairs of guilty, worried eyes that were now crowded around them but in a comfortable distance.
Jimin allowed himself to soak in the warm embrace Jungkook provided, his mind no longer running at a million miles an hour.
"Jimin, sweetheart I'm so sorry... I didn't mean to scare you" a sweet soothing voice apologised, alerting Jimin that Jungkook and him weren't alone.
"Guys" Jungkooks deep baritone voice boomed, causing a shiver to spiral through Jimins spine. "I don't think today was a good idea to-
Jungkook was interrupted by the head shaking against his chest. He looked down and locked gazes with Jimin who peeked back up at him through his long dark lashes.
"I want to meet them..." Jimin whispered bashfully "I want to meet your family..."
Jungkook cupped Jimins small tinted cheeks in his large calloused hands and stared deeply into his almond coloured orbs. Seeing the sincerity and resilience floating in them had him release an approving sigh.
"Ok, as you wish baby"
Jimin beamed up at him, before sheepishly turning around in Jungkooks arms and facing the six stunning men standing before him looking all worried. He instantly felt bad the moment he caught sight of all their guilt stricken sympathetic smiles and how they remained at a comfortable distance away from him.
Jimin exhaled, a subtle blush coating his already rosy cheeks as he beamed back at all of them, flashing them a captivating crescent smile which had them all awing in pure adoration.
He turned towards the beautiful man that had embraced him earlier, and now that he was really paying attention to him, he realised just how actually gorgeous the taller man was. He gave off such a strong motherly feel, which completely expelled Jimins anxiety.
Although the man was taller than Jimin, he still couldn't compare to the giant that was towering behind him, who also oozed off a strong dominant aura much like Jungkook. The beautiful man -who's known as Jin- was held close to the chest of the man towering behind him -known as Namjoon-.
Jimin pulled out of Jungkooks embrace as he caught eyes with Jin. He slowly made his way towards the apologetic looking beauty as he spread his arms open.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, my names Jimin!" Jimin chirped, as Jin awed and quickly yet wholeheartedly accepted the youngers embrace.
"Pup the pleasure is all mine! I've been dying to meet you. The names Jin by the way!" Jin gushed, rubbing soothing circles on the small of Jimins back as he held him closely with care. "I'm so sorry for the way I-
"Please, don't apologise" Jimin shook his head as they pulled away. "This doesn't usually happen, so it's not your fault!"
"Still... I should've at least introduced myself before hogging you like that"
Jimin pouted at him, crossing his arms at his chest as he shook his head in disapproval. "I promise, it's completely fine"
"Can I at least make it up to you with my special homemade apple pie?"
Jimin bounced on the heels of his feet at the mention of pie "I love pie!"
Jin chuckled heartily, winking at his adorable aura. "Perfect, because I love it too!"
Jin stepped to the side a little, turning around and pulling Namjoon by his hand who as a result captured him in a loving back hug. Jin couldn't help the crimson hue that rushed to his cheeks and glided along his ears at the touch of his husband of five years.
"This is my husband, Joonie" Jin smiled warmly.
"Hey there little one" Namjoon winked playfully, ruffling Jimins hair affectionately which had Jimin giggling sheepishly. Namjoons deep husky tone flowed out his lips like coffee on a sunny morning. "My names Namjoon, if you ever need anything, or just want to talk to someone, I'm all ears. So don't hesitate to come to me"
"You can trust him little Prince, he's a distinguished lawyer!" One of the men standing next to Jungkook -known as Taehyung- beamed excitedly.
"Not all lawyers are trustworthy and righteous tae" another one -known as Yoongi- rolled his eyes playfully.
Taehyung pouted and lowered his head. "Then they don't deserve to be called lawyers if they're not..."
"Of course they don't baby" Taehyung got kissed on the head by a much taller man, despite Taehyung himself being quite tall. He melted into his lovers touch, resting his back against his mans chest -known as Bogum-.
Jimin giggled, glancing around at them all and noticing the fact that they were all made up of three sets of couples. Namjoon and Jin, Yoongi and Hoseok, then Taehyung and Bogum.
Namjoon, Hoseok and Bogum were all much taller than their lovers, which Jimin couldn't help but find extremely adorable. No one would feel left out at not having a partner, as they all did. Well, now they all did as Jungkook was the last one to find his partner, Jimin.
"Thank you Namjoon, that really means a lot to me" Jimin smiled appreciatively
"Anytime little one"
And just like that, Jimin went around introducing himself to each couple, laughing and joking whilst getting to know them all a little better. Of course Jungkook was right behind him the entire time, his large hand resting on the small of Jimins back.
They were all such a loving and caring bunch, and made Jimin feel so safe and welcomed. Like his life was finally feeling complete and whole. Meeting these people, his new family, having symbolised a blossoming fresh start to a much anticipated joyous chapter.
Jin clapped his hands together, catching everyone's attention "Now, who's hungry?" He smiled, wiggling his eyebrows in excitement.
"Me!" Everyone frantically replied in unison. Even the four muscular giants replied with enthusiasm. No one, under any circumstance, can decline food that's been masterfully cooked by the one and only chef Jin. His food was simply, out of this world.
"Did I mention that this is Jins restaurant?" Jungkook snaked his arm around Jimins waist, a smug expression resting upon his chiselled features.
"No, no you did not" Jimin gasped, looking up at Jungkook with wide eyes. "What's it called?"
Jungkook smiled softly. "Havens Embrace"

OMG THANK YOU SM FOR OVER 16.2k READS!!!!
Hey babesss!! Happy new year my luvs ;), let's hope this year has a brighter result, I just pray that we all remain safe and healthy and out of harms way. Now, time to clear up Jungkook as part of a mafia theory 😂 he's actually..... not part of a mafia! I wasn't planning to make him as part of one either, as i feel it wouldn't really benefit Jimin as he's had a traumatic past. It wouldn't really make him feel safe.
Other than that, if you have any questions at all, absolutely anything (could be about the characters, plot, meaning of things or even just questions about me) please don't hesitate to ask! I've been thinking of making a Q/A. If I do make one, I'll post it along with an update! Stay safe and thriving as the beauts that u all r ;) BORAHAEEEE!!! 💜💜💜💜💜
