Flashback -  26 May 2017 - Part 5

Last night...

You were stunned when he asks you to be his girlfriend. You couldn't believe it because he'll be going home in two days. But he didn't care. He wants you to be his official girlfriend for the time being.

Being one who loves adventure, you agree to be his girlfriend and enjoy the perks of being in love and attached.

You told him about your failed relationship and how scared you are of being hurt. He promised you he would not cause you any pain cause he is just as frightened to start a relationship, but he wants to have one with you.

He had a girlfriend before his debut, but he always finds himself dating scandals and gets connected with all-girl idols who smile after his debut. How difficult it is to date as an idol.

You were relaxing in each other's arms on one of the pool lounges.

"Ruby baby...I'm in love with you...I don't know...why...how it happens? ..but I love you..., and I'm sad...I'm leaving... soon," he looks so sad while caressing your cheek. You glance up to him and beam, with sadness laced in your eyes.

" Jimin...I'm so in love with you too. I never knew what love is...until" you breathe out," you locked eyes with me...this feeling is so scary...I've been in a "puppy love" relationship for five years, and I never experienced this bliss...being with you...I love you too."

You use your thumb to massage his jawline. His huge almond eyes are filled with love and affection for this beautiful girl with such a pure soul. He is smitten, she's kind and has a great personality but she beautiful too.

You didn't know what the future holds for the both of you, but all you know is what matters right now. This love that you can fully enjoy right now.

That night you and Jimin sealed your loved most imaginatively, unaware of the color swirls that engulfed deceptively around you- binding you together."

Concert day.

You stood up sluggishly at 11 am. You were so sleepy. You sat up on your bed and stretched yourself out when the events of the previous night came to your mind, your eyes widen, and you fell back on your pillows. Holy Dooley! O, my word! You are officially Jimins'girlfriend. How did that happen? A kpop idol and plain Aussie-girl.

You blushed rosy red when you found a note next to you. Jimin snuck out before 5am undetected. You can't grasp that You and Jimin spend the whole "dawn" together, loving each other as if he would enlist in the military.

He will be available on Saturday till 10 am than Management will take the Bangtan boys on a sightseeing trip with their bodyguards, but he will be yours from 8h00, and he suggests a final date at your favorite beach site. You agree to that.

He even texted you and expressed how much he adored being with you and that he misses you already.

They were already out by 9 am for an early radio interview and a breakfast show, then they went for their dance and setlist rehearsals at the venue.

You were full of smiles during the day. You can't believe how surreal your life became. You were secretly dating an international kpop star—one of BTS's sexiest and most adorable members.

While you were serving drinks at the poolside, you were flustered thinking about your early morning together. You were so thankful that there are no direct camera angles at your room doors. Jimin had to sneak out very early.
The two of you had to keep your relationship under wraps because he is still under a dating ban. But last night, the two of you broke the moral code. You too afraid to tell your best friend, you no longer the pure and virtuous girl anymore.

You and Jimin didn't care about the consequences, you needed each other so bad, and you got to the point of no return. It was early dawn, laden with passion and love. You gave each other your most precious gifts. Whatever transpired in your hotel room will remain your secret forever.

You both felt so sad that you had to let go of each other. Both of you don't believe in long-distance relationships. You both already concluded that this will be part of your fond memories.

Jason and Ally were beyond themselves to go to their first BTS concert with the best seats. Kendra was so astounded that the boys' Management gave you unique gifts.

Ally knew It was because of You. That adorable boy band member liked Ruby, and she knew he would want to let You come with your colleagues to the show. Samantha had an off day. They were getting ready for the show.

The other girls were a little envious of the fact that you had Soundcheck tickets.

Jimin even called you to find out how you feel. You told him you were excited to see him in action. He told you he'd send you a unique sign.

After your shift, you went back to your room to prepare for the concert. The excitement in you was bubbling up. You felt like a real BTS ARMY. I giddy to see your biases.

You were just busy blow-drying your hair when you heard a knock on your room door. You look through the peephole and saw a hotel staff member Bert this time again.

You open up and smile at him. He grins and held out a beautiful black-boxed filled red roses and chocolates.

"G'day Bert..." you grin as he presents the box to you.

He looked very much excited," G'day, you have a very rich and the most romantic lover with loads of bickies."

You just smirked and took the flowers." Hooroo (bye), Bert."

Inside your room, your open up the box and read the beautiful message. It is your favorite chocolates. Your heart swells with tenderness for your adorable boyfriend. You quickly grab your phone and send a text message to your beau. You wanted to melt right there when you read the inscription on the box.

I will love thee with a love that shall not die, Till the sun grows cold, and the stars grow old.

Oh my gosh, Jim's ....the flowers are beautiful and the chocolates... I want you to enjoy the chocolates with me."

All for you, baby...I love you...you deserve more ...can I take you ...on a date ...tonite after the show...dress formal ...cocktail wear.

Huh! ...I love you too...ok...is it a surprise or can I know where we're going...

It's a surprise, my little red...I can't wait to see you from the stage. You must enjoy the show, baby.

I will...I know you are going to slay every song tonight. I can't wait to see you in action...

I can wait to have our action...😚

Omg...You something...but I can't wait too.😙

You talked a little bit more. They are enjoying lunch at the venue. The soundcheck will be before the show. You are so thrilled that Samantha and Brendon will be at the soundcheck also. But you, Ally, and Jason will have the privilege to go through an exclusive entrance as esteem friends. Some of the Australian celebrities will too be at the concert.

The crew will usher you in an hour earlier than the rest of the fans.

By 2 pm, you, Ally, and Jason were super hyped up. Ally got her BTS merch on. Her Army bomb. BTS army logo stickers on her cheeks. They were full-out BTS -fans.

You had a cute white and Dusty pink top on with skinny jeans and tour white converse sneakers. You left your hair curly and loose.

You didn't forget to take your Jimin ARMY bomb and fan if the concert becomes a melting pot.

You and Ally and Jason got your VIP lanyards around your necks. You hope you could see Samantha. She texts you and informs you that she, your sister, and Brendon will be at the venue about 2-3 hours before the gates open. They still want to eat, go to the restrooms, etc. Hopefully, you'll see each other at the soundcheck.

Becky was so excited. Your sister is still 16 and at school but is becoming a hard-core BTS fan. She has Jimin as her bias wrecker, and Jungkook is her ultimate bias. You wondered inwardly how she would react in finding out that you had a very "intense" fling with one of the most adorable and mesmerizing members. Most ARMY's will kill you if they ever had to find out that you been very close with their beloved Jimin.

The car came to fetch you promptly. Jason and Ally were beyond excited. Jason hot a BTS wings T-shirt on with his army bomb in his hands.

The driver drove into restricted areas just demarcated from the VIPs, and a crew staff member was awaiting you. You couldn't help to feel butterflies. The concert crew took you to your seats, and you receive vouchers for free food. Ally was so excited, and she couldn't contain herself. You and Jason were just grinning at her. She was waving and playing with her RM army bomb.

Outside at the gate, the line was stretching around the corner. Aussie -ARMY was in huge numbers from the entrance, waiting for the gates to open. They were laughing and singing gets acquainted with other ARMY from around the globe who got tickets for the Sydney show. Some of the Aussie ARMY's were not very impress cause most of them couldn't get their hands on a general ticket, and they have only one Show in Sydney.

The girls were going out of their way to look hot. They want to be noticed so severely by the band. They had strange hairstyles and revealing clothes as if the boys will have time to drool over their looks.

The arena was filling up. The energy and excitement of the fans were so tangible. They were singing the songs on the screen, shouting fan chants, and be ARMY.

You and your group were privileged to see the boys in soundcheck an hour ago. You sent Samantha a message because they were also in soundcheck. But they were seated for the meantime at very far areas. They, with all the winners, came in after you. You were surprised that a crew member brought you packages of food and drinks. 

.........

The group was very entertaining. Jimin was constantly sending heart to your sections which made the other ARMY so jealous. Ally was jumping up and down, waving her ARMY bomb vigorously. Samantha and Becky were in the VIP standing arena in front of the boys. But the ARMY in their vicinity was taking pictures and numerous videos of the boys. You feel sorry for Becky that is so short. She'll have to watch the concert through cell phone video screens.

Ally also took lots of videos of the boys. Jason was making Youtube fancams. You were enjoying the energy of the ARMY, and the boys are mesmerizing and hyper on stage. The arena was chock a block filled.

Jimin was so sexy during their No more dream performance. He took your breath away. How can you feel so invested in a human being? You never felt this love for Greg. You never even thought about the pain of a few weeks ago. It's like Jimin came and removed all the heartache and misery. He saved you. And you'll always love him for that even if you're going to break up tomorrow when they leave. 

Your heart will not be able to let go. But you had to let go of him. It was a memorable few days. But it will be over. Maybe you'll even break up tonight. Who knows. Your mom called last night and wanted you to at least come and spend the last few weeks of summer with them. Your brother is interning at a hospital in Melbourne with his soulmate.

When Jimin's solo came, you transfixed. Your boyfriend is talented. You could just sit there with your mouth wide open for the Jaw-dropping performance of his. He was singing Lie.

During his performance, he gave you the sign. A  finger loves you and a different " I LOVE YOU"sign only you know. He was fantastic. His fluid dance movements were making the ARMY grew wild. Their fandom truly loves them. He is so talented in every way. Where does he get all the energy from? Gosh, He was so in sync with his backup dancers. Whoa, they were lifting him on high. At the end of the performance, you were stunned mullet (shocked)

Ally was so excited because he made eye contact with you in your section. Kendra and Liz were in the seats way up. They could only see the boys clearly on the big screens. 

"Wow...that was glorious," Ally breathes out. Her voice was hoarse from all the screaming. It was deafening in the arena.

"The people who stand will have sore feet after two hours," you mused, looking at the jumping ARMY's. They love the boys so much. You admire their fandom of all races and cultures.

Jason chuckled, "We can watch the fancams tomorrow after I've edited it." He agreed to share the footage with you. He has a small youtube channel where he posts only Bts content, and it's gaining momentum. Even Samantha is a subscriber. You promise him to subscribe even if you are fasting from social media.

At the end of the concert, Jimin and Jungkook came to your section to say goodbye to ARMY. He was looking straight at you and Ally, giving you special winks and Jin-kisses. He sends you a kiss. Ally was beyond herself, and Jason was smirking, having all the footage on camera. You were blushing. The ARMY around you looks at Ally, who was jumping up and down when Jimin acknowledges you. 

When the two of you made eye contact, he was smirking and licking his lips sensually. OMG!!; your beau is a super flirt. The girls were swooning. Jungkook was laughing and waving at you in the section. 

It was the end of a very memorable evening. The arena was growing empty. A crew member spoke to Jason and told him to follow him out to the awaiting car. Ally was swooning, and she couldn't stop gushing about her bias, the concert, the mesmerizing visuals, and the band's dancing. On your way back to the hotel, you got a message from your adorable beau.

Hi baby...did you like ...the concert?

You smiled at the text. Gosh yeah

Omg...Jims, it was fabulous...I never experience so much fun and excitement in one night...Ally was stoked...thank you so much for everything.

Only for you baby...were going to be coming back to the hotel..... in two hours. Management found a Korean BBQ restaurant.... and we are going to visit.... our Korean family and eat some BBQ.

Aww, enjoy it. You must miss home.

We do...But I miss you more...did you catch ... all the kisses ... I send. I LOVE YOU

You giggled at that

yea...every one of them...I LOVE YOU TOO.

Be ready for our midnight date. I'll get you at your door... don't fall asleep, please, baby

You just shook your head. This boy.

You decided to love him with everything you got right now. After him, you said to yourself you will never date anyone ever again because you know deep within your heart that you truly love this beautiful Korean boy. He was "it" for you because you don't believe that any Tarnished could be truly happy. After all, they can be so invested and in love with their fellow Tarnished, but once FATE enters and gives them  Late whisperer or late bloomers marks, they lose all sense of direction. 

And the one without the mark is hurt tremendously. Your mom is the most outstanding example of FATE'S cruelty. Your Dad met his soulmate " blue strings " she had a pure soul mark and was waiting for years for her soulmate just to meet him in a late whisperer. They were so in awe of each other, and after a few months, he confesses to your mom that he met and was in love with his new soulmate, and he wanted to pursue his true love. 

You had two half-siblings. Let's say your mom almost became an alcoholic of all the heartbreak in the first months. She is nearly 50 years, and she lost him for 14 years, never to be able to move on from your old-timer. Let's say you couldn't forgive him since he broke up with his family and cheated on his long-term wife, and left his three children abandon by a father's love.

When you found out you are Tarnished, just like your old-timer, you made a quality decision never to get married to anyone, soul mark or tarnished. That is why you decided to love hard with Jimin and to lock all of it in the depth of your heart once it's over. 

One day you can always reminisce that you experienced it with someone who truly loved you back, body, and soul.

Back at the hotel...you were contemplating what to wear for your date. You made sure to pack a very sexy cocktail dress. You and Samantha and Ally went for a night out to a cocktail bar at the beginning of the week before you met Jimin. So, It will do. You took a shower and blow-dried your hair in big strawberry-red waves. 

You decided to watch all the fancams an hour later, which the excited ARMY posted for the unfortunate ARMYs who couldn't make it. This will be the last concert you'll ever attend here in Australia. BTS ruined you. 

At 12, the was a knock at your door—Jimin with the biggest smile on his face. You giggled and took his hand and let him in. He was blowing your mind away with his smoldering looks. Cladded in a tailormade suit jacket with a lace design. An expensive designer brand. He looked at you, and before you know it, you were in his arms, kissing each other with reckless abandon against the closed door. Jimin couldn't get enough of you. He smelled amazing, and you could just be basked in his arms.

Whispering against your mouth, " I miss kissing you...when on stage...it was the only thing I could think," he stated with a sexy smirk. Pecking your lips once again.

You shook your head and giggle, still tightly embraced in his arms," Your such a tease, Jims...you took my breath away when you sang and danced solo on stage."

"You look ...beautiful."  He was shamelessly checking you out. You bit your lips teasingly made Jimin's eyes grow wider. You could see how he gets affected just by that slight movement. You clothed yourself in a beautiful black and white cocktail dress and high-heeled ankle boots.

You already sense the start of hormonal Jimin. You shove his shoulders, and he chuckled, took your hand, and led you out of your room door. You were so glad your room corridor doesn't have sneaky cameras. To your surprise, he told you that he hired a small private lounge just for the two of you. It usually closed at 11 pm for guests, but because he is JIMIN, he got a favor. 

It was a beautiful lounge with ambiance and soft dim lighting. You watch in awe at the beauty and luxury of this place. It was small and super private. The interior was in natural greyish colour with purple, magenta accents. On a separate counter were all sorts of sweet and savoury treats. He organized everything.

"Geez mate... this is bloody bonza (excellent, very good). Jimin, I reckon I'll be a right porker... I'm so full-on (surprised) Jimin!" you said, glancing about in amazement and then back at a grinning Jimin.

"All for you...I'm so sorry ...it is so late...but I want to be with you...before we go" He took you by the hand, and you both enjoyed side plates of the delectable treats. You both sat on the sofa lounger and drank some of the Aussie drink, " Bundaberg. Jimin ordered different flavours.

He put on soft romantic music, some in Korean and some in English. The atmosphere is filled with awareness.

" Come dance with me..." he opens out his hands for you to hold. You bit your lips cause you can't fathom how fortunate you were to be dancing with one of BTS's lead dancers. You slipped into his arms, and you could feel your heartbeat erratically as you put your head on his shoulders and sway on the rhythm and beat of the music. It was deadly (awesome )

He lifts his head and stares deep into your eyes." Baby ...I don't want to... split up with you?'

You look astonished, but your eyes grew sadder every moment,"  Jims...mate...we gotta...you still under the dating ban..you're 22, and ya still got three years before you can properly date...why d'ya wanna lock in with me?"

Jimin shook his head and led you back to the sofa. He made you sit in his arms and look down at you with genuine sadness." I don't want us to ... end this...I love you so much...Ruby..I tease and flirt with girls...but you...I want you...always" His eyes started to tear up. He felt his heart began to constrict painfully in his chest. Knowing that he must leave this amazing girl.

"Oh, Jimin..." Your caress his cheek tenderly," "Even if we could... it's a no-go... you might cop some strife, and I don't want that for ya... you reckon long-distance things are no good, and I don't buy into the 'ever after' stuff as a Tarnished."

"We can make it work, Baby...you visit me... I visit you."He looked at you with pure hope. Why can't they be soulmates? They already love each other naturally. Why is there still the curse of the Late Whisperer sign?

""Babe, your skedules are hectic, you're getting bigger by the minute, top band on everyone's radar, and the ARMY could suss it out, making things tough for me at Uni. Your fam might not be keen 'cause I'm not Korean... and... and the reason I don't wanna drag out our undercover thing is... what if you hit your late whisperer mark and find your meant-to-be? It'd wreck me to lose you like my mum lost my dad... I'd rather love you from a distance... while I can still claim you as mine."

Your tears were spilling down your rosy cheeks. You love him so much, but you're terrified of losing him later to someone else. You love passionately. Greg, your dad both got better women...what makes Jimin different. He is Tarnished, and he can get a mark any day and meet his soulmate. Where will it then leave you?

He put his palms over his face," Oh gosh... it's painful...I can't... lose you, baby. I'm dying now...I...don't want to let go of you, Rubybaby...please let me love you for longer..."

"Jims...look at me," You took his hands from his face, and he looks at you with watery eyes,"I'll love you till FATE rolls up... please love me till FATE rolls up... go live your life... let this be one of your ripper memories. Your destined soulmate might rock up any day."

"I don't want a soulmate ...I want you so bad...I will miss you so much ...Ruby, and you don't want us to stay in contact also ...how can I forget?" he stammered the words out.

"You won't," you signal to your heart."We'll keep each other in our hearts. I'll always back BTS and cheer for your success... I'll love you, always," she flashes him the "I purple you" love sign.

He looks at you with calculating eyes that are bored intensely in yours, " I will always love you...Ruby" He took off two of his most valuable rings, it was chrome and laguna hearts ring from Erica, and with your widened eyes, he placed them on your ring finger.

You grin at his cute short, pinky fingers of his. You love it so much.

"I love you...please promise me...you won't forget me," He expressed with a throaty voice filled with suppressed emotion.

He cups your face tenderly, and his lips start to kiss yours softly at first, and suddenly with a swift intensity, your kisses became more passionate, and you were breathing deeply. Jimin was holding you tightly in his arms as you cling to him as the only solid thing. Your whole body was on fire. His designer jacket was lying abandoned on the carpet. It felt as if FATE itself dipped both of you in a pool of lava. His insistent mouth was parting your trembling lips, sending hot sensations you'd had never known you were capable of feeling.

In one swift movement, Jimin gently pushes you on your back deeper into the sofa, caressing you with his hot, feverish hands. Your arms have found their way around his neck, and you were pushing him down to you, kissing him passionately back. His tongue was caressing your neck and your jaw line until it found its way back to capturing your lips in the most sensual, deep, and slowest kiss ever. You couldn't get enough of each other's kisses, and it was pashes that were created in heaven.

Jimin was breathless as he lifted his head and looked at your flushed face and panting chest begging for oxygen," He gazes intensely into your warm chocolate irises, " Please be with me ..."

Those simple words drove you over the edge, and you nod wordlessly, kissing him once again...

A/N  Yeah ok... that was our Chimy in a relatively not-so-innocent situation. I hope you love this chapter. The flashbacks will come to an end in the next chapter.
