M I N A

Things have been moving very quickly. I got engaged last week and now Jimin and I are already talking about me moving in with him.

Yesterday, we both told our parents about getting engaged. My mom and dad were really happy for us. Jimin's parents were happy too. His mom started crying while we were on video chat.

All of this still feels so unreal to me. I don't know why. It feels like it was just yesterday when Twice first met BTS.

We already started planning our wedding. We found this nice forest location, we're thinking about having it there. Personally, I think I would want a smaller wedding, nothing extravagant or huge. It doesn't take much to make me happy.

The other day, I had a deep conversation with Jimin. He says that Jin will be enlisting in the miltary soon and he's thinking about going with him.

"I'm just considering it. Just to get it over with, and then I won't have to worry about it anymore." He said.

I'm not completely against the idea, there are both pros and cons for this decision, but I'm not so sure about it either.

BTS without two members? Would they continue their activities without them?

Jimin said that only two members can enlist at a time. So it would just be them two, if he goes.

Jimin doesn't have to enlist this year. He still has about two years until it's absolutely necessary. This is the last year for Jin to enlist before his deadline.

If Jimin does enlist this year, they'll be gone for about eighteen months. Usually, required military service is twenty-one months, but they reduced it for them since BTS contributes to the economy anyways. 

If we get married before that, and then he has to leave, I don't know how I'd feel about that, but I guess that'd be the true test.

We went six months without seeing each when BTS went on their world tour. If we can go six months, what's another twelve..?

Who am I kidding. Those six months were hard. No Jimin for a whole year and a half...I can't imagine it. I can't imagine him working his tail off and crying himself to sleep every night. Isolated from the rest of society for almost two years. Sometimes I wish I could trade places with him so he doesn't have to go through that.

But he's not scared. If I were him, I would try to avoid it for as long as possible, but Jimin's not afraid. I think he's already accepted the fact.

He's not scared, but I'm scared for him.

Two months later...

____________________

I was at home, alone in our apartment, cleaning up after dinner. Jimin said he'd be coming home late tonight.

I sat on the couch, watching TV when he walked in.

"Jagiya~" He smiles as he walks in. He drops his stuff on the counter and joins me on the couch.

"Oppaya, how was work?"

"Physically and emotionally draining." He groans.

"Aw, well you're home now. You can relax." I pull him closer and run my fingers through his soft hair.

He closed his eyes for a bit, but flinches like he remembers something.

"Jagiya, I have to tell you something." He looks up at me with his tired eyes.

"What is it, oppa?"

"I made the decision today.."

"Decision to..?"

"I'm gonna do my military service with Jin-hyung."

I previously prepared myself for this, but I still felt my heart sink.

"Oh..."

"But we don't leave until August."

"August? That's less than two months!" I didn't know it was going to be so soon.

"I'm sorry, love. But it's just eighteen months. Eighteen months and then we won't have to think about it ever again. It's okay." I guess he could tell I was kind of upset.

I was quiet.

"But I want to get married before that." He says.

"Before that? When?"

"I was thinking next month if we can get everything arranged."

I thought about it, "We could...we already rented the venue."

"If we could just get everything together, like right now. We can do it. When I come back from the military, I want to come home to my wife." He smiles and kisses me on the cheek.

"Are you sure you want to do all of this right now? We're gonna get married and then you're gonna have to leave a few weeks later."

"I know, I know. The timing couldn't be much worse. But I'll make it up to you. I'll take you on the best honeymoon when I get back, I promise."

I can't say no to Jimin like this.

"Okay. Let's do it."
