Yesterday Jimin and Y/N weren't chased at all, so they felt even more suspicious and paranoic. They feared So-Hyun was preparing something terrible for them to be met with ahead since they, of course, didn't know what actually had happened. They had no idea, at least for now, that it was all over for Y/N's already old enemy.

This time, Y/N had woken up first with the decision to repay Jimin for his favour yesterday. It was so kind of him to make breakfast for her, let her sleep in and fold the dried-up clothes for her. She started off by folding yesterday's wet clothes which were now dry thanks to the radiator built against the white wall near Y/N's bed. 

Once she was finished with folding their clothes, she made coffee for herself and tea for Jimin just like yesterday. She set up the snacks and cups on the desk before changing into yesterday's clothes and putting her pyjama away into her side of her and Jimin's shared closet. 

Y/N walked up to Jimin who had his cheeks smashed into the white and soft pillow as his knees were pressed against his chest; he was cramped like a ball. Unknowingly, a fond smile made its way up to Y/N's dry lips; they were all crusty due to the cold weather and the fact that she had no lip-balm. She placed her hands on his right shoulder and shook him, "Jimin, wake up, I made you tea, have a drink before it turns cold!" 

Similarly to Y/N yesterday in the morning, Jimin hummed, not wanting to get up. A chuckle left her lips while she watched him pouting, she then shook his arm again, but instead of opening his eyes, he grabbed her wrist. Y/N froze in her spot, not knowing what to do and waited for something to happen. And something did...

Jimin pulled her down beside him, his eyes still shut as a frown formed on his face. "Can't we sleep? We have nothing to do anyway... and we never know if once we come out something bad happens..." Jimin mumbled lazily as he let go of her wrist and placed his hand on her cheek instead. His thumb rubbed her cheek soothingly, making her want to sleep again until she gave in, allowing her eyes to shut. 

...

3 PM was the exact time when Jimin opened his eyes only to find Y/N in his arms sleeping peacefully. His cheeks heated as he looked upon her closed eyelashes, her hands that gripped his shirt near his chest and her steady breaths as she laid so close to him. Unconsciously, Jimin moved his hand up to her cheek, giving her light caresses. His eyes shifted from her sleeping face to focus onto her lips; her thin and pink lips that were pressed into a light smile and pout at the same time. A kiss was something that he craved for at that moment, but it wasn't of his intention to do something like that without Y/N's consent, so he did the minimum he'd allow himself to do. 

Jimin gently moved his arms from around her waist and cheek before removing her hands from his chest. He took in a deep breath and planted two really gentle kisses on her forehead and cheek. Giving her one last loving look before moving over to the coffee that had stayed on the table since 9 AM, he sighed. He grabbed both cups and emptied them before grabbing the other clean ones since they were given a kit for four people.

After he made new tea and coffee for Y/N and himself, he returned to his bed. "Y/N, come on wake up, we have been sleeping for so long." his smile intensified as he watched her stretching and opening her eyes pretty quickly. She must've slept really well. "Hey," he whispered as he passed her the cup of coffee once she had sat up.

"Thank you Jimin," she blinked her eyes a couple of times before taking a sip of her coffee. Jimin sat down right beside her giving her a nod in response, and she glanced at him as a gentle blush dirtied her cheeks. "J-Jimin?" he hummed, "Did w-we sleep t-together?" she nervously took one more sip of the brown liquid in her white cup.

"Yeah, I'm sorry I kinda pulled you with me. It's just..." he scratched his neck, not knowing what to say, and how to express his feelings, "I just... I was really tired, and I have nothing to say. I'm sorry if that made you uncomfortable."

"No, actually I haven't... I- let's just say that I needed it too..." her heart melted as she turned to face him wearing his beautiful eye-smile. His crescents arched to their limit, and his teeth proudly displayed between his plump lips, all of that completely crushed Y/N's heart from the cuteness. The urge to touch his cheek almost killing her as she tried to keep her hands to herself. "Haha, w-well, should we go walk somewhere or grab a very late lunch or a very late snack or a very early dinner or a snack just on time?" she stammered, making Jimin laugh.

"You get to chose," he patted her head before standing up, "I need to brush my teeth," he said before leaving her with a throbbing heart. Jimin patted her head so often... Y/N straight-away reminisced the day they were decorating their shared balcony. The way that Jimin often patted her head, did something very serious to her heart and it was starting to get problematic, she wished for him to do that gesture more often.

"Took you long enough, Mister." Y/N sassed before entering the bathroom and locking her door after herself once Jimin was out. He laughed so loudly that Y/N could hear it from inside the shower.

...

When Jimin and Y/N came out of the hotel, they were still holding hands, but none of them decided to mention it, secretly enjoying the warm feeling. Yet, not having the courage to tell each other that they saw it and liked it. 

The fresh wind blew through their hair, cooling their skin as they walked to a small cafe that had caught their attention since the previous day. Y/N said that she thought eating a snack and having something simple for dinner would be nice, Jimin didn't disagree. So here they were, at that cafe that had them interested since yesterday, Destiné. Jimin read the name of the cafe, and smiled at the cheesy yet cute name meaning 'Destinated'.

"What does it mean?" Y/N pointed at the name of the cafe on the top of the small building. White letters in italic were sculptured just below the dirty-brownish-and-reddish roof. Jimin smiled and looked at her while her attention was on the sculptured name, guessing different yet wrong possible meanings of the word. 

"Destiné. Destinated," he said simply, the swoon in his eyes making them sparkle without Y/N even knowing. She laughed thinking just like Jimin, 'cute yet cheesy'. "Well, let's go in, shall we?" he asked, his grip on her hand tightening just a little bit as thoughts clouded his mind. 

It's stupid, but what if this is a sign that we are mean to be? - they both thought at the same time and shook their head. - This is so stupid, I can't believe that I just had such childish thoughts... - How funny they didn't even know that those 'stupid' thoughts were shared by the both of them.

After they both got seated inside of the cosy cafe and decided what to order, an English-speaking waitress came up to them with a note-pad. "What would you like to order?"

"One latte with two cholate macarons and a cup of orange juice with a jam-croissant, thank you!" Jimin smiled passing their menus to the waitress who was taken aback by his pretty-good-for-a-foreigner pronunciation of the words 'macaron' and 'croissant'. 

"Jimin, do you speak French fluently?" Y/N asked curiously and he squinted his eyes, not exactly knowing how to answer her question.

"Yes but no?" he answered, confusing himself with his own words, "I mean, I'm in the advanced class, this is my fourth year of French. I've been studying since freshman, but I wouldn't say I'm exactly fluent..." she nodded and looked around anxiously. 

"That's cool that you been learning a language for that long," she smiled and patted his hand which laid on the table, but right as she was about to lift her hand off, he grabbed it. As he intertwined his fingers with hers, giving her a frown.

"Don't worry, okay? Relax. I know it's not easy but trust my gut. I think they aren't going to come, maybe something has happened to So-Hyun...?" Y/N sighed as she tightened the grip on his hand, "But of course, that does not mean we are completely having our guard down. If they suddenly appear, we'll have to be ready to run."

As Jimin and Y/N took a moment to look at each other comfortingly, despite the anxiety they were feeling, the waitress came with their orders, "Here are your orders!" they both snapped out of their daze and thanked her before each sipped from their cups.

...

The two youngsters had finished their snacks, and by the time it was already 5 PM. They strolled through the rough and ancient roads that the island had to offer while holding hands. The anxious feeling was slowly, slowly dissolving, leaving a warm atmosphere between the two of them. There wasn't much for them to do, so they just walked around the hotel-zone, nearby the restaurants, stalls and food stalls. 

Once it was 7:30 PM, they decided to eat at a food stall where the food seemed to be nice. "Should we get some lamb skewers?" Y/N pointed at the various types of meat placed around a firm wooden stick. Jimin nodded with the same smile that hasn't left his face for the whole day and told the worker what they wanted to eat.

They took a seat at the stairs near a fountain as they watched the crowded roads shining with the various Christmas lights as they munched on their skewers. Their shoulders that were warmed by the puffy coats they wore, brushed against each other as they sat squeezed against each other even though the stairs were basically empty. Anyone who would've seen them would definitely believe they are a couple. 

Suddenly a man dressed in a Santa Claus costume along with a girl dressed in a red dress and a few more people with instruments approached an empty stall which was unnoticed by the two. They set up a background and all of their instruments before begging to sing. 

"Rockin' around the Christmas tree..." Y/N laughed since they were dancing and preforming so funnily while Jimin laughed along, his puppy-like eyes mostly staring at her instead of the performers. Once the performance came to an end they both stood up and clapped loudly. "Merry Christmas to all the people having a holiday here and the people from Île-de-Bréhat!" the girl shouted cutely into the mic before leaving and allowing some other performers to sing. 

Jimin and Y/N kept enjoying their warm tea while watching the cute kids approach the 'fake Santa' and telling him what they want for Christmas before receiving small presents like chocolates. 

"Jimin?" Y/N gripped the paper cup filled with tea tightly as she looked away from the cute scene happening before them. Her heart beating in anticipation as the need to say something stung her. She definitely wasn't good nor the type at all to speak emotional words...

"Hm?" 

"I-I-" she stuttered looking up at him. She looked straight into his eyes, her own glossing as an unknown emotion pangs her chest. "I'm so glad I get to be stuck with you..." a tear rolled down her cheek, but she didn't know why was she feeling so sentimental. "I'm so glad you are the one I was stuck in that closet, in my house and here..." 

Staring at her, his beautiful eyes twitched as the emotion that she was feeling soared in his chest. He reached out his hand and wiped the thick, single tear off of her cheek. "Me too, I'm glad that I got stuck with you..." They looked at each other with so much desperation, happiness and exhaustion. And like that, they both stepped over the line and got a step closer.

Now, who's going to tell these two that they are in love?

To be continued...

Author-Nim's Note:

[By the way, I know it's kinda stupid that Y/N didn't know what the word destiné meant, but remember that they speak Korean and not English. So it wouldn't be that easy for her to guess it.]
