The four wheels screeched as the ca
r halted upon pressing the brake. "We're here." Jimin said as he proceeded to unfasten his seatbelt but stopped as he turned to look at the passenger's seat, only to see peacefully sleeping Everly. He leaned back on the seat and watched Everly's peaceful face.
A faint smile broke on his face as he watched her lips stretch into a beautiful smile. He realized she was still asleep as baby like breath escaped her mouth, almost as a little pur. His hands made his way to her face and gently brushed back a few strands of raven locks that fell beautifully on her small face.
"I wonder what you are dreaming about." He whispered softly as he kept staring at her face, which he could never get enough of. "You seem happy." He added.
He noticed as Everly's eyebrows twitched and her eyes slowly opened but closed immediately as the brightness struck her eyes. Once the brightness adjusted, her unfocused eyes looked around and landed on Jimin, who was silently watching her.
"Jimin, is something wrong?" She asked softly in her croaky voice. The blonde male shook his head. With lips sealed tight, he gave her a smile as he resumed unfastening the seatbelt.
"Did you sleep well?" He asked as he reached for raven's seatbelt too. The raven nodded her head like a young kid, making Jimin chuckle at her cute gesture. He brought his face close to hers and asked, "What did you dream of?"
"Hm... Something beautiful." She said whilst smiling.
"Something more beautiful than me?" Jimin probed curiously. His smile dropped as Everly nodded in response. Feigning sulked expression he pouted. "And may I ask what that dream was about?"
"That's a secret." Everly winked as she stick her tongue out a little leaving the blonde male baffled. She got out of the car whilst giggling at the latter who tried to grab her hand but failed.
"Ah! Everly wait!" Jimin's eyes widened as his mouth was slightly open, he wanted to surprise her but she already went ahead of him. He quickly got out of the car to make sure she wasn't aware of the surrounding but he was late. He let out a sigh of dismay as he watched the back of the raven who was standing, staring at what stood before her.
By the look of her still frame, Jimin could tell she was stunned. He shook his head and leaped towards her. Once he stood by her side, he eyed her, his hands reaching for her chin as he pushed it upwards which was hung open.
"Tada. Surprise." Jimin said halfheartedly as his hands pointing towards the cabin that elegantly stood in front of them.
"Jimin," she finally spoke as the blonde male hummed. "This is... stunning." She breathed, her eyes still wide in awe. Jimin couldn't help but smile at her flustered face.
"I know. Now let's go, the temperature must be dropping, it's getting cold." He said after shivering a little as he went back to the car to take out their luggage from the trunk.

Jimin plopped on the couch as he placed the luggages in their supposed room. He watched the raven raven girl who was silently looking around with an awe. He couldn't help but smile at her. Seems like Everly heard his little smirk she turned to face him only to see him smiling like a fool.
She smiled back and went to where Jimin was seated, before taking a seat beside him. Jimin's hand naturally snaking around her shoulder. He asked, "What do you think?"
"It's warm and cozy." She said whilst smiling, leaning her head against blonde male's shoulder and snuggling closer to him. "I like it."
"Yes, it is. It's my father's. I had to beg him to lend me this place so be nice to me." Jimin said smugly earning a chuckle from raven. He pecked Everly's forehead before getting up. Everly eyed him , not liking how her body was detached from his. She already missed his warmth.
"Hurry up and go get changed into something comfortable and warm." Jimin said enthusiastically as he grabbed Everly by her shoulder and spun her before pushing her to her designated room.
Everly got out after wearing something warm and comfortable. Now her long raven disheveled hair was let down beautifully.
She heard some loud crashing sound as she was on her way to the living room. She eyed the room to see what Jimin was up to since he was awfully quite.
"Jimin." She called out his name but got no response. Again something crashing was heard, this time it came out from the opposite side of the room, which was a kitchen. She leaped towards the room and peeked inside.
Jimin was trying to cook.
But instead of actually cooking he was making a mess. Everly was just gone for a moment and Jimin had already managed to burn the pan. The kitchen island was no good either, unevenly chopped vegetables were everywhere. She watched him in dismay. Right then he even managed to cut his finger.
Everly shook her head and went to her suitcase to pick up first aid kit. Then she calmly went to Jimin and applied the ointment on his wound and wrapped it up with band-aid. Jimin watched her face, it was calm.
"Why are you trying so hard when you can't even cook?" Everly asked before looking at him, only see a sulked Jimin.
"Your boyfriend is hurt and instead of getting worried you start nagging as soon as you speak." He said as he narrowed his eyes although Everly who eyed him monotonously.
"What are you saying? Of course I'm worried about you." She replied.
"Yes, you are." Jimin pouted averting his eyes from Everly. "For someone worried, you sure look calm."
Everly sighed. She observed the blonde male's childishness. A faint smile broke on her pink lips. She cupped Jimin's cheeks with her hands brought his face close to her's before pecking his lips. Jimin seemed flustered at the gesture. He didn't see it coming so it made him even more flustered.
Everly watched as Jimin's face had now lifted it's pout and was placed with a off guard look. She was satisfied, since it was always Jimin who made her flustered, it felt good to her.
She got up and headed to the kitchen and stood there with both of her hands on her waist as she eyed the mess Jimin had caused. And she started cleaning. Jimin was still glued to his seat. His head was now clear so now he was observing Everly.
The way her face looked when she was focused on doing something. The way her hands moved as she cooked. The way her body swayed as she walked here and there looking for the missing ingredients. The way she kept pushing back the locks of her beautiful raven hair that kept messing with her face, that kept falling before her beautiful face.
Jimin was so in love with Everly.
And it still came to him as a dream that this beautiful person was with him, loving him back as much as he loved her. Also, he still wanted to deny the reality they were living on, a painful one. No matter how content and happy they were from the outside, only they know how close their life was going to fall apart and break hopelessly and helplessly.
With slow strides of step, Jimin walked up to Everly and stood behind her petite frame and eyed her. Her body was in the verge of disappearing because of how skinny she was. Everly was so immersed in cooking she didn't notice until Jimin gently stroked her raven hair and brought behind her and tied it, so it no longer bothered her.
"Thank you, Jimin." She smiled, swooned by the gentleman act of Jimin, she couldn't wipe the smile off her lips. Jimin wrapped his hands around Everly's waist from behind and rested his head on her shoulder.
"Jimin. I can't work like that, love." She said in between smile. This was a scene from a novel that she only dreamed of. But now that she was in the exact situation, she could feel the butterflies exploding in her stomach and her heart tingled, just like how they mentioned in the books. It felt good.
Jimin stayed quite. He placed a kiss on a part of her bare shoulder and nuzzled into the crook of her neck and breathed against her skin. He spoke, "I love you." Everly stilled. Every cells of her skin felt exploding hearing upon Jimin's low manly whisper. Jimin continued, "I love you fucking so much."

The couples had the dinner in the utter silence. The only sound accompanying them was the soothing classic music that Jimin found on the shelves, which belonged to his father.
But that didn't cut it. The aura around the duo was much dark and... intense. There was tension in the air. Jimin couldn't even near himself around Everly let alone look at her. He was afraid his animal like wild senses might overpower his heart and lose his sanity around her.
After the dinner they both went to their rooms, without saying much to each other they parted.
After a good bath, Everly plopped on the bed and her eyes scanned around the room she was in. It used to be Jimin's when he was younger. There wasn't much to it in his room. It was very ordinary.
She got up from the bed and roamed around the room, in hopes of finding something that might carry Jimin's childhood. And she did, she found an old photo book inside the drawer of the old desk.
Once Everly was seated comfortably on the bed, warm and cozy, she began to flip through the pages of the photo book. The front page had Jimin's name, handwritten with big fonts.
Jimin Park.
Everly smiled and her fingertips grazed the handwriting. Her eyes scanned the photos of Jimin when he was an infant. His cuteness almost melted Everly and she realised that there were tons left before she actually melts.
Occasionally, giggles left her mouth as she flipped through pages and scanned each and every pictures.
"Everly." The door of the room creaked and Jimin's voice called her name causing Everly to flinch. Jimin eyed her peculiarly at the reaction until his eyes landed on her lap.
It was his photo book. His face was flushed as he charged towards Everly to snatch it away from her but she held it close to her chest and curled up, not having any intentions of letting it go.
Jimin sighed and let her have it. He wouldn't feel embarrassed as long as it was Everly who was looking at them. But he was wrong, Everly kept laughing looking at the photos of Jimin who was hitting puberty.
He had already gave up so he joined Everly and made fun of himself, the young Jimin. He was glad that the tension from earlier had faded out.
As they were flipping through the photos, Everly's eyes caught on one particular photo. It was a photo of Jimin from when he was in high school. Her eyes squinted as she saw someone familiar.
"What is it?" Jimin probed as Everly was stuck on that one particular photo. His eyes scanned the photo and what he saw took him by surprise.
"That's you!" He exclaimed as his finger pointed at the girl in the oversized hoodie, with the long raven and a big round glasses. It was Everly.
"How did you..?" Jimin was loss for words. He didn't expect to see Everly in the same frame as him. He had only known her since freshman year but now she was on one of his photos of Jimin from highschool, although it looked like she was in the the frame by mistaken.
"You went to B High?" Jimin asked unsure, but Everly nodded. "How come I didn't see you then?!" His mind now full of surprises.
"I transferred school after my parent's demise." She said in a small voice. Right, it was her first time talking about her parents to Jimin. He couldn't say much. "And the photo seems too much of a coincidence "
"It's not a coincidence." He paused and looked at Everly who was already looking at him. "Destiny, ever heard of it?" He stated in a cheesy way, earning a smack on his arm.
"I wish I had know you back then. I would have showered you with love more than present." He said with a softest smile.
"The fact we are here together, loving each other and smiling is enough. Isn't it?" Everly probed. Jimin couldn't help but smile even harder. Every words that went out from her mouth soothed and settled his chaotic heart. She was his healer. And likewise to Everly.
Jimin leaned in and kissed her. Their eyes both closing by instinct. Their lips moving in rhythm. The kiss was slow and gentle. Also bit intense but passionate. The words that Jimin could never express was speaking loudly with that kiss.
His hands cupped both of Everly's cheek as he deepened the kiss and her hands around Jimin's waist. Euphoria. That's what they felt as the kiss's intensity deepened. Their mind yearned for more. Just the kiss wasn't enough for them and they were aware. Their foggy head still somewhat clear, so they detached themselves from each other's lips.
Heavy steamy breathing filled in the room. Their hands still intact with where they were before. Cheeks tinted with flushed red. Their plump red lips mere inches apart as their foreheads were pressed against each other with their eyes closed.
Jimin gupled as Everly's sweet scent kept hitting his nostrils. His senses ready to betray him any minute and any second. He needed to get out of the room, away from Everly's enticing presence before he loses himself to his animal.
He tore his hands away from Everly and proceeded to get up. His head still hazy and intoxicated by the passionate makeout. He turned around to leave but halted when he felt a light tug on his shirt. His eyes tremored. Oh shit.
He turned around to see Everly's flushed face. She slowly looked up, her expression mixed with red tinted cheeks and shyness. Fuck. Jimin was about to lose it.
"Don't go..." she mumbled which went inaudible to Jimin as all he could focus on was that darn luscious lips of her that was plump by now.
"Stay." Now he heard it, clear and loud. His eyes now staring at her's, to see if she really wanted him to stay with her. But he was stunned and his throat became dry to see she was dead serious. He gulped.
"Oh, fuck it." He mumbled to himself before shutting the door behind him.
