Wednesday, December 1st - Y/N's P.O.V.

I heard from my dad that on that day there would be the first snow in Seoul, so I decided to take a stroll in the park nearby my house; more specifically the park where Jimin and I met Yoongi and Taehyung. The place where we fought and Jimin stood up for me.

Suddenly the thought of the two guys that have been confusing and tearing my heart for way too long, came to my mind. I had no idea that a small stroll through the park would make me come to a conclusion...

As I kept walking with a heavy head and heart, I felt the temperature dropping by a bit and small, barely-visible snowflakes began plunging on top of my head. I looked up at the almost pitch-black night sky and saw the descending snow, a small smile stretched on my lips as I stared at the sky in awe. However, when I heard someone's footsteps, I frantically looked around as a panicky feeling rushed over me, but it was replaced by warmness when I saw who it was.

Park Jimin... there he stood, in his usual black hoodie, facing his back towards me. He probably had no idea that I'd be there. Both of us stuck out our hand to feel the snow and chills ran down my spine when I felt the cool snowflakes making contact with my skin. I decided to watch him for a while and then approach him. He stuck his hands back into the pockets of his warms sweatpants and exhaled a breath.

I approached him after a few minutes and stood beside him, mimicking his position; hands inside the pockets and shoulders tensed up in a sort of I-don't-know position. He turned to look at me, a startled look plastered over his face as he whispered, "Y/N..."

"Hey, Jimin! It's the first snow... we get to see it together." I said, leaning a bit closer to him until our shoulders touched, "What are you doing out here at night? We have school tomorrow... and if you ask me, it's just because I heard that around this time there would be the first snow. I've been thinking a lot lately, so I decided to take a peaceful walk in hope of seeing it."

"Same..." his tone sounded heavy as if there was something he needed to say, and in fact, there it was, "Y/N, I really need to tell you something..." I turned my body towards him and listened attentively since it seemed to be important, "I've said many times, I don't want to rush you and that is true! So, I'm asking because I'm getting impatient... did you make a choice yet or are you at least close to making one?"

'Crap, here it comes...' I thought as I clenched my fists, but it's time. It's time to stop making them confused, annoyed and impatient with my indecisiveness.

"But before you answer, hear me out." I nodded nervously, wondering what he had to say even though I was just about to hear it, "I love you." he looked at me, his eyes full of tiredness manifesting the sincerity and that admiration that I have always been oblivious of. "I'm sure Jihoon has confessed to you first, but before you make a choice just know that I love you. I love you and you are my first love, I hope you can be my last love too..." my heart was beating at an uncountable fast speed, the look in his eyes, his slightly shaky hands and his words really made my heart melt like chocolate left under the sun for too long. He gulped and looked at the ground that was slowly, slowly turning white due to the falling snow without saying anything.

"I-I-" I stuttered, being unable to say anything as my eyes turned slightly red and glossy from all the tangled up emotions. That's when something clicked, I looked at the snow before taking a breath to boost my determination, "You know..." I managed to say with some sort of confidence in my tone, and that made him look at me again, "They say if two people watch the first know together they are meant to be..." I watched his eyes widening at my words, but I also could read the mix of confusion and hope in his eyes, "And guess what?"

"What?" he asked hesitantly.

"I'm watching it with you." that was all I said before grabbing his collar and smashing my lips on his into a gentle but passionate kiss. The memories of the time when he'd gather up the courage and kiss me in the kitchen suddenly clouded my mind, making the moment feeling like a déjà vu. He didn't respond for a bit since he was probably processing whatever the heck I said and whatever the heck I did. When he thought he had understood the situation, his hands automatically cupped my cheeks gently pulling me closer. His right hand stayed on my cheek and his left hand was wrapped around my waist tenderly but firmly. "I love you..." I breathed out as we pulled away, resting our foreheads against each other.

"I won..." he whispered more to himself in awe, victory and love visible in his eyes. "An Y/N, will you be my girlfriend? After all the long waiting, can you please hold my hand? Can you finally and confidently say I'm your only one?" I nodded and he smiled back before caressing my cheek.

We both sat on a bench, my head rested on his shoulder as we looked at the sky. Even though outside it was freezing, my heart felt so warm and relieved after I have made a choice.

I guess all this long, I was fluttered by Jihoon's kindness, but my heart deep down always turned towards Jimin. It was my indecisiveness, my lack of confidence that made afraid; I was scared that if I'd make a choice I would wish I had made a different one.

After all, I have made the right choice...

Thursday, December 2nd - Before school started [Author's P.O.V.]

Y/N had texted Jihoon to come into the school garden as soon as he would arrive at school. He reached Y/N after a long run, feeling nervous by what she had to tell him. "Y/N! I'm here!" he jogged a little more until he stood right in front of her. She looked at him with sad and apologetic eyes, making his heart drop in anticipation, fear attacking his chest. Was she about to tell him what he feared the most?

Probably...

"Jihoon..." she whispered as he grabbed his hand gently and he just let her, feeling scared that it would be the last time he gets to hold her. He shut his eyes tightly, waiting for her to proceed reluctantly.

After all, Jimin had always been the one and I knew it... I just wished that her confusion could've lasted a little more, I wish I could've made her heart flutter a few more times. I wish I'd hear at least one 'I love you' before this, but it seems like those words were meant only for Jimin.

And here it was... the first time in history when Jihoon lost to Jimin and the first time when he couldn't get what he wanted. The first time someone chose Jimin over him.

"I made my choice... I think you expected me to talk about this..." his hand drops and it becomes heavier in Y/N's small hand, but she doesn't let go. "And I also think you already know that my choice is Jimin..." she stated with zero hesitance in her tone, even though she didn't dare to make up the sorrow that she felt.

That was it. The last 'rope of hope' that Jihoon's heart was tightly clenched onto was cut and his heart completely plunged to the ground - his heart was completely crashed, "I see... I knew I'd lose anyway... but please don't disappear just because-" he cut himself off, trying his best not to tear up. Whether he could have her or not, he still wanted to see her laugh and smile. Even though she didn't see him the same way, he wanted to stay by her side.

She hugged him so tightly, feeling relieved by that half of his sentence. "I will never leave you! I want to stay with you, even though it's not as a boyfriend, I want you there as a friend as a brother! I love you!" the words she spoke only tore his heart more but at the same time healed it. It felt as if he was being treated - when the ointment is applied, it stings, but it helps to heal the wound. A genuinely proud yet painful, and congratulating smile was manifested on Jihoon's face.

"It's okay Y/N... I'm happy for you and Hyung. For once, he got what he deserved and for once I got what I deserved. Your presence and existence are enough." he grinned making her heart completely melt like lava. That flutter was still there, but she finally realized its meaning. It was a love that she felt for him, a pure love of a sister.

It was a happy and excited flutter.

"Thank you, Hoon. Thank you,"
