(1) How could I forget?
One Shot
Chim slumped exhaustedly on the floor of their training room as he took in deep heavy breaths.
The 7 of them had just finished up practicing the choreography for their new concept and everyone was exhausted.
From the corner of his eyes he saw Kook throw a bottle of water in the air and he snatched it with one hand before uncapping the lid and chugging the liquid down in one go.
He sighed. That felt so good.
Chim suddenly felt his phone vibrate in his pocket so he put the bottle down while taking it out and he opened the new message.
Hey Chim~ Today's that special day! 🙊 I'll see you at my place later so message me after your practice ends okay? I can't wait! 😚
He dropped his phone on the ground and it landed with a loud clatter. He didn't react however and continued to gape at his hands with an unreadable expression on his face.
The members looked up, caught off guard by the noise but when Chim still sat there frozen, Tae crawled towards him.
He waved his hand slowly in front of his friend's face but there was still no response so he frowned and turned to the others.
"...uh...I don't know how to break it to you guys...but I think we finally broke Chim..." he announced and Jin perked up.
"Can we swap him for a better version then?" He piped up excitedly and that finally got Chim to shake himself out of his stupor as he shot the two a weak glare.
Jin smiled smugly and Kook ooo'd in awe from the background at how quickly his Hyung got Chim to recover.
Joon chuckled at everyone's antics but plopped down next to Chim while wiping his sweat away. "What's wrong?" He asked and Chim gulped, his attention back to the matter at hand.
He shot his Hyung a look that spoke volumes of how drastically screwed he was. "I think I fucked up..." he muttered and that instantly got the other members interested.
"What did you do this time?" Yoon questioned while nodding his head in thanks to Hobi, who had draped a towel on top his head.
Chim let out a strangled choke that sounded something amongst the lines of a chicken dying.
He threw his arms up exasperatedly. "That's the problem!...I don't know!" He shouted and Joon shot him a weird look.
Chim frowned "Here, look!" He tossed his phone to the guys, who read over the message and then they dramatically gasped.
Hobi tsk'd. "Let me guess...you have no idea what she's talking about huh..." he voiced out and the others shot Chim a pitiful look as he laid roughly on his back.
Hobi was right. He had no idea what today was...
Jungkook rubbed his chin. "Anniversary?" He asked and Chim shook his head.
"...birthday?"
Chim shot him a deadpan look. "...I think I'd remember when Y/Ns birthday is, Kook" he admonished and Kook chuckled sheepishly.
Chim really didn't know what today was...
He didn't remember planning anything important...
And nobody, to his knowledge, had died...
...but he may as well put himself on that list soon if he didn't figure out what was so special about today.
He flailed around helplessly. "Seriously? Have we been so busy that'd I'd forget..." he mumbled out to himself and the others chuckled anxiously.
They didn't want to answer that because they all knew that may very well be the case...
"...so what song do you want us to play at your funeral?" Yoongi asked bluntly.
Chim groaned once more and let out a weak whimper.
Joon glanced at his watch and then nodded to himself. "...okay we still have enough time...I think we can work our way around this..." he murmured, lost in his thoughts and Chim lifted his head up with a glint of hope.
"R-really?" He stuttered doubtfully which made Joon smirk.
"Yup, so here's what you're going to do..." Joon began.
————————————————
"...are you sure it won't make everything worse? What if she realizes what's going on?...." Jin asked, his lips in a flat line, as he watched Chim hurriedly grab his things so that he could leave.
"...let's just hope for his sake that that won't happen then" he finally answered Jin back after a moment of contemplation.
Jin had a bad feeling about it. "How will we break it to the fans that we'll only have 6 members from now on?..." he thought seriously.
"Jimin-ah, wait!" Yoongi called out as he propped himself back to a sitting position.
Jimin paused, his hands full of both his wallet and his sweaty shirt that he just changed out of, and he turned around.
Yoongi threw something in the air and Chim instinctively shot his hand out to catch it. He eyed the object in his hand in puzzlement.
It was a set of keys.
"What's this?" He mumbled confusedly and Yoongi smirked.
"Jin's car keys"
The said man's head shot up in surprise. "What?!"
"You won't make it to her place in time if you don't take a car to do everything" Yoongi explained and Chim nodded gratefully.
"Wait I never sai-"
"Thanks Hyung!! I'll be back at the dorms soon! Wish me luck..." he chirped up and with one last wave he dashed out the room.
Jin scowled at the apathetic member who was now sipping on his iced americano in bliss.
"...you suck" Jin muttered with a pout.
Yoongi only slurped his drink louder.

Earlier
"...So just prepare all those things and bring it with you. Eventually she'll slip out what today is and you just have to go along with it like you knew the entire time" Namjoon explained with a snap of his fingers and Chim, the ever so optimistic Chim, bobbed his head in awe.
Kook lifted his face off the floor with a sleepy look. "Ah that's true, confidence is pretty much key at this point..." he added on and then resumed his nap.
Hobi nudged him lightly but he didn't even flinch. -was he sleep talking again?...
Chim blinked twice and then cleared his throat. "Alright...I think this might actually work..." he trailed off with a giddy smile.
————————————————
Now
"사장님! (Sajangnim!) I'd like this set please!" Chim called out, although it was muffled under his mask.
Two girls behind him sighed dreamily. "...whoever this guy is buying flowers for sure is lucky..." the first girl said with a pout and her friend nodded with a wistful sigh of her own as they continued to watch him pick various flowers to put in a bouquet.
The girl shook her head with a huff. "...screw that. Let's buy our own flowers!" She announced with vigor and then grabbed a bunch of bouquets.
Chim glanced furtively at the two people behind him from the corner of his eyes.
Good thing he was wearing both his shades and his mask; it covered the obvious look of surprise he felt as he watched the two grab as many flowers as they could. "...they must be in the same situation as me" he thought sympathetically.
"...-is that all?"
Chim turned back to the florist and nodded his head while tilting his shades down slightly so he could show his appreciation through an eye smile. "Yeah!"
"Y-you're...!" The owner said with a gasp, recognizing the man his daughter idolized and Jimin quickly placed a finger in front of his lips in a silencing gesture while shooting the owner a wink. "Thanks again!" He whispered and then exited the store.
Chim eyed the flowers with a smile. "...okay, that just leaves two more places to go" he mumbled distractedly while getting into the front seat of Jin's car.
————————————————
"Ooo! Is this for a special lady?" The lady behind the counter asked with a cheerful smile and Chim nodded.
"Yeah" he responded back with a chuckle.
"What's the occasion?" She asked kindly while humming and sifting through the different cakes on display.
Jimin rubbed the back of his neck and tried to avoid answering the question. "Uh...how about a cake that says a little bit of everything?" He asked sheepishly and the lady blinked owlishly.
She quickly recovered though while shooting him a wry smile. "...so you're one of those guys who forgot huh..." she said with an amused look and Chim sighed in defeat but nodded regardless.
She brightened up quickly though and walked towards the back room. "...well, that's not a problem. I think I have just the thing for you!...now where is it?" She exclaimed and disappeared momentarily.
Soon she came back with a smug look and Chim's jaw dropped. "This is perfect..." he mumbled and she puffed her chest out proudly.
"I know; we get a lot of guys like you around so you shouldn't worry too much. I hope everything goes well!" she said with a grin and Chim thanked whoever was listening for the good people who still existed in this world.
————————————————
"Sorry sir, what was it that you're looking for?" One of the workers asked with a questioning look and Chim frowned, trying to recall how you described that book you had been talking about lately.
"Uh..I actually don't know...but I think it has something to do with Sins? With flames and other crap...I don't actually know the name of the book but does that help?" He asked and the man instantly snapped his fingers.
"Ah! I know exactly what you're looking for! My girlfriend just bought a copy of it the other day! It's on aisle 23 and you just have to..."
————————————————
Chim mentally pulled himself together as he stood in front of your apartment door. He double checked everything on him.
He had the flowers...
...the cake was sitting daintily in the box he was holding...
...and the book was tucked carefully between his arms.
He had really done it.
No matter what the occasion was today, he went for something general that would fit anything you'd be expecting.
He smiled proudly. "Thank you Namjoon Hyung..." he thought while taking another deep breath; he then reached for the doorbell.
————————————————
"Are these for me? Chim! I can't believe you..." You said with a gasp and your lips tilted upwards into the smile he loved seeing.
"Okay...any second now and she'll say it..."
You took a huge whiff of the flowers and immediately ran to your kitchen to grab a vase for them.
Damn...not yet
When you got those settled in, your eyes trailed to the book in his arms. "...no way! Is that what I think it is?" You asked in disbelief and Chim followed your line of sight and then nodded with a cocky smirk.
"Mhm, it's that book you haven't stopped ranting about" he answered back teasingly and you squealed while jumping into his arms.
He quickly set the cake down and wrapped his arms around your legs to hold you up while you draped your arms on his neck.
"You're really quite a rare specimen, Park Jimin..." you murmured in amazement and then pecked him softly on the cheek, making him smile.
"...you deserve all of this and more" he whispered back and nuzzled his face into the crook of your shoulders.
"Now if only you could tell me what the hell it is we're celebrating..." he added on to himself.
Your eyes then caught onto the box and you blinked confusedly. "Cake too?" You asked and Chim tilted his head while nodding.
"Yeah...you know, because we need cake to celebrate after all" he said with a grin -the nervous sweat that was building up was the only sign of his growing apprehension.
"Come on Y/N...give me something to go on here..." he silently begged
You pursed your lips at him and raised one brow. "...not that I'm not thankful or anything so don't get me wrong...but really, what's all this for babe?" You asked while tilting your head slightly in confusion and Chim faltered.
"What?! W-what do you mean 'what's all this for'? You're supposed to be telling me that!" He thought incredulously but on the outside he smiled charmingly.
"J-jagiya...tonight's a special night right?" Chim pointed out, slightly stumbling over his words. -he wasn't going to give up yet
You pursed your lips in thought and then snapped your fingers with a laugh.
"Yeah, of course!" you answered back with a grin.
The two of you looked at each other for a couple of seconds in silence -somehow it felt like you were both on different pages...
...and then your furrowed your brows. "Chim...did you buy all this for tonight?" You asked and then your eyes widened in realization.
Could it be?
You bursted out into laughter -the kind that left stitches in the side of your stomach with tears that pooled in your eyes.
Chim gaped in shock. "Wait. Y/N-ah/ya why're you laughing?" He asked suspiciously and you held your hand up, gesturing him to wait, as you tried to catch your breath.
"C-chim! Heh...don't tell me..." you started off with a smirk which gave him goosebumps.
"...you-you actually have no idea what's happening tonight right?" You asked with a wide grin and Chim was caught so off guard that he accidentally dropped you.
Yes, you read that right. He dropped you.
"...son of a-" you moaned while rubbing your, now sore, bum.
Chim gasped. "Oh shi-! Sorry!!" He screamed out in panic while scrambling to get you on your feet.
Once you were heaved back up, you blew a stray piece of hair away from your face and then chuckled lightly as you thought over all the lavish gifts you had received.
Your boyfriend looked at the ground disgruntledly, as if he couldn't believe you figured it out. "...how did you know?..." he mumbled after checking your back one last time to make sure you were really okay.
Your smile widened and you ruffled his hair the way you knew he hated. "...너 바보야 ㅋㅋ (you're so silly haha)" you mumbled, avoiding his question while shaking your head and Chim sighed in defeat.
He plopped onto the floor and dragged you with him, making you let out a noise of surprise as you landed gently on his lap. "...blame it on Joon..." he muttered and you snorted unattractively.
"Now I get it...no wonder you were being all strange and getting me these gifts...I thought you did something wrong" you admitted while flicking him softly on the nose and he nipped on your finger offendedly while pouting.
"...so I really didn't forget about anything important?" He asked expectantly and you stuck your tongue out.
"No, you did" you answered casually and you felt him recoil in surprise from underneath you.
You crossed your arms but the smile still played teasingly on your lips.
"...you were supposed to come with me to get that puppy today, remember?" you said, finally putting him out of his misery and you watched his expression change from incredulity to confusion and finally realization as it dawned to him.
"...AH!" He exclaimed and you nodded. -he remembered now....
"Mhm...so no, buying me flowers, cake and a book had nothing to do with what we were supposed to do tonight." You finished sarcastically but after a couple of seconds you giggled.
"...You really are silly you know? Why didn't you just text me earlier if you didn't remember?" You asked curiously and Jimin covered his face in shame.
————————————————
Earlier when discussing Namjoon's plan
"...shouldn't you just ask her what's happening today if you forgot?" Taehyung pointed out obviously with a curious look.
"Yeah...why make everything so complicated?" Kook added on with a perplexed frown and immediately their Hyungs started laughing.
Hobi wiped a stray tear away from his eye. "You and Kook are still so young and naive..." he mumbled with a wistful sigh and the two men pursed their lips.
Jin waggled his finger. "Okay, take this as a lesson you three; NEVER, I repeat, never make the mistake of showing a woman that you're unsure of something..." He advised and Chim immediately stopped typing his message that was doing just that.
"...quickest way to get your ass kicked" Yoongi grumbled to himself with a traumatized shiver.
Namjoon placed his arms around Chim's shoulder. "He's right...Chim, just do exactly what I said and things will naturally solve itself okay? Trust me" he said with a thumbs up.
Deep down Chim felt uneasy for some unexplainable reason, but he knew that his hyungs had more experience than him -them being older and all- so it would probably be best to listen.
Tae shrugged dismissively. "Well, if you guys are so sure then..." he gave in and then pouted. "...I still think Y/N wouldn't really care though" he mumbled but nobody was listening anymore.
————————————————
Now
Jimin's eyes twitched annoyedly. "...don't ask" he murmured and you nodded slowly but let it drop.
"Alrighty then..." you began and stood up while stretching.
"...I guess I'm the only one who can say that her boyfriend went all out to celebrate the homecoming of a new family member" you chirped up teasingly with a wink and Jimin blushed.
"...I can't believe I did this all for a dog" he admitted embarrassedly while you dragged him towards the front door.
You paused. "Hey, if it makes you feel better you can name it..." you said soothingly but then smirked.
"...should we get some more gifts while we're at it too?" You jokingly offered while letting out another amused laugh and Chim scowled as he fought the blush that inevitably won over.
However, when Chim wasn't looking, you stole a secret glance at the thing he brought for you and felt your own face flush slightly. "What a guy..." you thought, touched by how far he went without even knowing what he was doing it for.
"...you'll forget about this right?" He asked meekly and you snapped out of your thoughts as his words registered.
You shot him a flirty smile. "...hell no" you answered him back mercilessly and then skipped towards your car while whistling cheerfully.
How could I forget how much of a sweetheart you are?
