My Little Mochi - Jimin x Reader

Chapter 10

And perhaps that was a good thing.

"Y/N I didn't want to leave you... I-I... No, they... they did that... but I should hav-

His voice catching in his throat as you watched him quickly clasp his hand over his mouth, squeezing his eyes shut as if to calm himself down before continuing.

"I should have fought for you... god if I knew Y/N... I-I never would have given up I swear!"

The weight his words carried made your head fall onto your hand, the sob you'd been stifling escaping without a barrier.

You dropped your other hand onto the table in defeat, the sound of cutlery clattering from the disturbance ringing loudly over your quiet cry's.

The warmth of a hand wrapping around yours not registering to you at first, only when you felt a squeeze did you recognize what was happening.

Jimin was holding your hand.

The faint whispers of "I'm sorry"s being repeated over and over as you tried to calm yourself again.

You let go of his grasp as you lifted your napkin to your face, a feeble attempt at wiping off the mascara marks that were sure to be adorning your face in this moment.

As soon as you finished you took another deep breath, steadying yourself before looking over at the man sat across the table.

He looked like he'd been crying too, his eyes puffy and red.

What the hell is happening right now..

Without warning a laugh escaped your lips.

You coughed to try and cover it but the ridiculousness of the situation and the fragility of your emotions were too much to control.

Jimin furrowed his brows at you, eyeing your strange reaction before a smile crept onto his face.

You groaned, throwing your head back in a strange mixture of amusement and frustration.

"This is not how I imagined today would go" you finally said.

"Yeah, you're telling me" Jimin replied with a hint of amusement in his own voice.

You snorted, bringing your head back so you could look at him.

"Now what?" You asked, half serious but also knowing for a fact he wouldn't know either.

"I don't think they make a handbook for this kind of thing" Jimin replied, smirking at you before ruffling his hair in an attempt to fix its disheveled state.

"Someone really should" You retorted, letting out an awkward laugh.

You were met with a smile, and a few more minutes of silence. Both of you clearly deep in thought as you contemplated where to go from here.

This was really not what either of you expected from this meeting but it was bound to happen at some point.

You decided you should speak up, at least try to make up for screaming at the boy.

"Uh-D-Do you want to see a picture of him? Of Min Jun I mean... as a baby."

Your heart swelled as you watched Jimin's eyes light up, nodding his head enthusiastically while he sat up straighter in his seat.

You smiled, pulling out your phone and scrolling to your favorite pictures of him.

One of his baby photo shoot and another Ji-ae had sent you of him on her lap after you had left them both in the car to run to the bank.
