Yoongi:

seokjune:
same honestly
but this isn't about me
what about just having a surprise one at his and yoongi's apartment?
yoongi u could find a way to get jimin out of the place for a while until we set things up

Yoongi:
that would be easy enough

taetlywinks:
yeah? so would that work?? do we have a plan???

namjuly:
slow down taehyung we need to figure out exactly what we're doing

taetlywinks:
leave everything to me!!

seokjune:
not really sure if that's the best idea

taetlywinks:
you're just mean ;-;

juggles:
as much as i want to agree with u baby, don't u think it's best we all pitch in on this?

taetlywinks:
...yeah i guess so :/
ok fine

hobihobi:

Yoongi:

namjuly:
yoongs is right
as much as i'd love to plan his wedding here i'll leave that to someone who knows what they're doing

Yoongi:
youre not wrong

seokjune:
once a savage always a savage yoongi

juggles:

seokjune:

Yoongi:
i still refuse to believe u two are getting married
proposing over a game of hide and go seek like honestly...

taetlywinks:
IT WAS THE BEST THING EVER
I'M STILL SOBBING
EVERY TIME I LOOK DOWN AT MY HAND
THE RING IS SO PRETTY DID I SHOW EVERYBODY YET

namjuly:
u did
Jungkook did an amazing job picking it out

juggles:
jimin helped me
i was anxious about doing things right so i asked him for advice and he helped me choose

taetlywinks:
AW U NEVER TOLD ME THAT
GREAT NOW I'M EVEN MORE EMOTIONAL

seokjune:
u two really are a couple of kids lol

Yoongi:
hey speaking of jimin we're supposed to be planning a party for him aren't we

namjuly:
for real lmao guys
we've talked about ourselves plenty

Yoongi:
so like i said before i could easily get him out of the house for as long as needed
but i mean he'll probably have work anyway so that's already taken care of
so i'd say if u guys wanted to head over at like 10:30 or something he should definitely be out by then

seokjune:
sounds good
and i don't mind cooking unless anyone else wanted to bring food

namjuly:
well if u provide the main dish we could all bring snacks and other things

hobihobi:
that's fine with me
big question is
should we bring games

taetlywinks:
obviously
jiminie loves monopoly
he could play that game forever lmao it brings him so much joy

juggles:
tae we might as well just bring all the games we have

taetlywinks:
that's true we have a lot
okay it's settled!
what about movies?
WAIT I JUST THOUGHT OF SOMETHING
I WANNA BAKE JIMINIE A CAKE

hobihobi:
since when do u bake, tae??

juggles:
just recently lmao he decided he likes to bake
he's really good actually
made me a sweet tart

taetlywinks:
I'M GONNA BAKE HIM A CAKE AND DECORATE IT
I COULD EVEN WRITE 'THANK YOU JIMIN' IN ICING
WOW IM SO SMART???

juggles:

seokjune:

taetlywinks:

Yoongi:

i'll talk to u guys later okay?
if u have any more ideas go ahead and share them

namjuly:
of course yoongi

taetlywinks:
yup!
we're gonna make this the best surprise party ever !

[[ several days later ]]

"Sweetheart. Sweetheart, get up. I made coffee."

"Nngh."

"Jimin, I'll drink the whole pot myself if you don't get up."

"Nngh."

"Say 'nngh' if you don't love me anymore."

"Nngh...hm?"

"Ouch...I'm wounded..."

Groggily rubbing his eyes, Jimin rolled over in bed so that his face was turned towards the ceiling - rather, where he was met with Yoongi staring down at him somewhat in disappointment. That look of disappointment, however, was promptly replaced with a warm smile at the sight of the other awake. He brushed aside Jimin's bangs and planted a gentle kiss on his forehead.

"Coffee. Up and at 'em."

"Yoongi, what even time...what is...what time is it?"

Stifling laughter, Yoongi pointed at the analog clock on their nightstand. "Eight a.m., sweetheart. And I'm not a 'before ten o'clock' person, so could I get some appreciation for getting up so early to make you coffee?"

"But why?" Jimin ribbed his eyes some more. "There's nothing special about today, is there? Am I forgetting an anniversary or something?"

"No," Yoongi said, smiling. "Can't I just do something nice for my fiancé without it being weird?"

At this, a frown tugged at Jimin's lips, and he gazed apologetically at Yoongi. "No, Yoongi, I didn't mean it like that. I do appreciate it. I was just genuinely worried I forgot something."

"You forgot to say 'good morning, sugar, I love you'."

It swept that frown clean off his face. Jimin reached out to caress Yoongi's cheek. "Good morning, sugar," he purred, "I love you."

About twenty butterfly kisses later and Jimin finally got up out of bed, allowing his beloved Yoongi to guide him over to the kitchen where he was then poured a nice, hot cup of coffee. But not just that.

"Yoongi, you made breakfast, too??"

"That I did, sweetheart." Grinning with pride, Yoongi set several freshly made dishes right in front of Jimin at the table, thus urging him to open his eyes fully in pleasant surprise.

"Yoongi, I-...I don't know what to say-"

"You don't have to say anything, just enjoy. You leave for work at ten, don't you?"

"Yeah..." Jimin stared down dreamily at the food in front of him, mouth already watering.

"How've you been liking your job as a dance teacher, hm?"

"It's only the second week, but I've been loving every day, Yoongi."

"That's good. You deserve it, sweetheart." He leaned over to kiss Jimin's cheek. "And you get done at six-thirty, right?"

"Yup. Seven at the latest."

"I'll be there to pick you up."

"Mm. Thanks, sugar."

So at exactly ten o'clock that morning, Jimin was out the door and on his way with a smile, a cheerful wave, and one last tender kiss from Yoongi, who he already couldn't wait to see again when he finished work. He loved his job but Yoongi would forever be his favorite part of every day.

In the meantime, as Jimin was on his way to work, Yoongi awaited the arrival of a certain group of six individuals who he was almost too afraid to let in his apartment.

Ten-thirty on the dot and he heard six consecutive knocks on the door.

"No one's home."

"Well, can no one let us inside?"

"You're not clever, Joon..."

***

"I'm off to pick Jimin up. Don't wreck the place while I'm gone. Behave yourselves."

Before any of the others could make any smart remarks, Yoongi closed the door and went on his way, checking his watch again for the tenth time as he climbed into his car - 6:25 p.m. All preparations were done at this point. The only thing left to do was get Jimin back home.

His family was there waiting for him.

A smile on his face, Yoongi drove to the studio, just as eager to see Jimin again as Jimin was to see him. He arrived at the location and found the boy already waiting outside, sitting on the steps along with his coworker and friend - but he immediately leapt up and ran to Yoongi the second he saw the car pull up.

"Bye Taemin, I'll see you tomorrow!"

"See ya, Jimin! Take care!"

Happily he got into the passenger's side, not hesitating to lean over so that Yoongi could give him a quick kiss on the lips. "Missed you," the older said. Jimin giggled.

"Missed you, too."

"Ready to go home?"

"Ready to go anywhere with you, my calico cat."

"You've already got my heart, Jimin, you don't need to keep saying cute, dorky things like that."

"But it makes you smile. Why would I want to stop?"

Yoongi just sighed and shook his head, unable to hide the broadening smile triggered by those words.

And with that, he drove back to their apartment, the entire drive spent with Jimin talking about his day as the other happily and silently listened.

"So how was your day?" Jimin asked, just as Yoongi had pulled up to the empty parking spot near their apartment.

He knew the question would come up eventually.

"Oh," he began, "it was alright. I'll tell you about it inside over dinner, okay?"

"Sounds good."

As Yoongi was slowly getting out of the driver's side and locking the car, Jimin had already made his way up the stairs and was in the process of turning the key in the door's lock. He turned around for a brief moment to make sure Yoongi was following him, then pushed open the door to go inside.

"Surprise, Jimin!!!"

His heart stopped. Taking a second to breathe, Jimin swept his gaze across the room, out at the six faces now staring expectantly at him with bright expressions. Taehyung stood in the very front of that group. In his hands, he carefully held a homemade cake, across which spelled in icing were the words, Thank you, Jimin!

At first, he didn't understand. But those words, along with the look on all his friends' faces were enough to make him realize.

Tears welling in his eyes, Jimin softly whispered, "Whose idea was this?"

From behind Jimin felt Yoongi place a gentle hand on his shoulder. He turned to him.

"All of ours, Jimin. It was all of ours."
