A/N : plotline and story by @Pearlangelaj

Jimin woke up in a cold sweat again. He hugged his knees as he cried into it. The images of his senior touching him - when will it ever go? He didn't want to feel like this anymore

**

Jimin had developed a fear of touch ever since he was assaulted by his senior at his old school. The senior was expelled for his behavior but Jimin couldn't handle the flashbacks of the trauma and humiliation he felt when he entered the school after a year of self recovery. And so he moves back to his hometown and joins BangTan High. 

**
Of course students noticed the new entree into their school. Students usually wore tight clothes or showed their skin. Jimin was the only one wearing turtleneck tops even in the summer. Those loose fitting clothes engulfing him completely, making him look cuter than he already is. He definitely stood out in the crowd and it was no surprise that the biggest playboy in their school Jeon Jungkook noticed him 

**

Jeon Jungkook might be a player, but he still had a heart. He never slept with people unless they wanted it and he always made sure to let them know it would always be just a one time thing. He was not interested in a relationship. No one had attracted his attention, well that was till Jimin came into the picture. Jungkook always wished for an innocent kind hearted person for his long term partner and the moment he laid eyes on Jimin, he knew the boy was the one for him. 

Jeon Jungkook, though a decent man, had a huge ego, that came with his good looks, money and people wanting him. He automatically assumed the newbie would be interested in him as well, but alas, Jimin wanted nothing to do with an apparent playboy

**

And of course the playboy didn't appreciate the rejection. He should have expected it, to be honest, seeing how shy and timid the smaller boy looked, but he foolishly assumed Jimin would be wanting him just as much as the other people did - that was his mistake. 

Jimin would often run away and avoid the taller man. He would not pay heed to Jungkook's flirting. The other students didn't like the interaction so much because ever since Jimin came to the school, Jungkook stopped sleeping around as much as he used to. It was getting harder for those people to get Jungkook's attention when his attention was solely focused on making Jimin his. 

**

Jungkook was sure that Jimin wanted him just as much so one day he follows Jimin into the bathroom and pins him against the wall 

"I know you want it…" Jungkook smirks as he traces a finger against the boy's soft cheek. Jimin stood frozen in fear "...come on baby.. how long will you fight us… don't be shy…" 

Jimin trembled in Jungkook's hold, his tears rolled down his cheeks. Jungkook let go of the boy's hands frowning as he stepped back a bit. Jimin could hardly stand as he sobbed into his palms. Jungkook felt really bad. He never did anything without someone's consent. But this style of his was a way of flirting for him, he never took it in any other sense, until now - seeing the boy shivering and scared of him, really hurt him. Jimin starts hyperventilating 

"I'm really sorry…" Jungkook says and just as he tries to reach out to calm the boy, Jimin faints. Jungkook's eyes widen as he lunges forward to catch the boy before he fell to the cold hard ground 

"Why did you get scared?" Jungkook speaks to Jimin's fainted body "...I...I would never do anything against your will...I'm so sorry…"

**
The school nurse advises Jungkook that a hospital is a better option so he takes Jimin to his dad's hospital. 

**

"Jin hyung… how is he?" 

Jin, Jimin's doctor, tried to keep it a secret but since Jungkook's dad owned the hospital, he couldn't really hide the truth. Jin had received Jimin's files from their other hospital in Seoul. 

Jin soon explains to him what he discovered in the file. Apparently Jimin had been diagnosed with haphephobia, which Jin had to explain to Jungkook. 

Jungkook stood at a distance, mumbled a soft apology and left from Jimin's sight. He felt ashamed and guilty for what he had done 

He was quiet in school. He didn't flirt anymore. He didn't smile. His friends noticed how dull Jungkook had become. Jungkook was afraid that maybe Jimin might move school again because of him

Jimin was sent for self recovery at home. 

**

"I can never make it up to him… I… I hurt him …" Jungkook cried 

Namjoon sighs seeing Jungkook so lost in thoughts and upset. Namjoon was worried when he noticed that Jungkook had stopped eating. He noticed how the boy would skip classes or avoid being in the same area as Jimin. It wasn't healthy- for the both of them 

"Apologize ... that's a start" Namjoon says "...you love him, then show him what you mean by that love...show him that he deserves all the love in this world…"

**

Greatly encouraged by his hyung,   Jungkook walks up to Jimin in school, the next day 

Jungkook nearly sobbed when he saw Jimin flinch on seeing him 

"I'm very sorry. I'm not coming near you... just... please forgive me... can I be your friend?"

Jimin knows about what has happened while he had fainted. He knows how Jungkook had paid for the bills and food for his stay at the hospital,in the VIP room. Jimin knows more about Jungkook, the doctor Jin, telling him about his cousin brother. 

**

Jimin accepts the friendship. Jimin couldn't help but smile a bit seeing how happy Jungkook looked. 

Jungkook invited him into his friend circle. All of Jungkook's friends were sweet and looked out for him. Jungkook especially struggled a lot physically to keep Taehyung at an arm's length away from Jimin. The boy was a sucker for hugs and Jimin was exactly the type of person Taehyung wanted to hug

**
Jimin was smiling now and Jungkook had to fist his fingers, to resist the urge of wanting to squish Jimin's cheeks. He now understood what Taehyung felt. 

Anyone could see Jungkook really cared for the boy. Jimin knew it too. But was it just an act? Was it guilt? 

**

They soon graduate high school and they all end up in the same college dorm room. They being Jimin and Jungkook. Actually Jungkook had purposely asked to be Jimin's roommate, he was afraid some other guy might cause a panic attack in Jimin again. 

Jimin was really grateful for that. He was comfortable with Jungkook anyway 

**

Jungkook encourages the boy to start therapy. How long will the boy keep denying relationships and physical contact. That wasn't healthy. And so Jungkook takes it upon himself to make sure Jimin went to those sessions. 

Jimin knows how much the taller loved him. It was very evident in the way Jungkook took care of him. Jimin couldn't deny that he too liked Jungkook but he was still not ready for a physical relationship and he knew how Jungkook was

**

Jungkook whenever he could, would always hint about dating but Jimin would often brush it off

But this time he didn't 

"You know I might not ever get over this fear and I don't want you to feel burdened in this relationship….that's why I can't date you"

Jungkook smiles wide. Jimin was thinking about them. This is good 

"You know I love you….." Jungkook once again says. He has not stopped saying those words ever since they got to college. Jimin really liked hearing that "...I agree it would be very hard to control myself around you..I mean... just look at you…" Jimin flushes "...but trust me... I just want you to be happy... I love you and I want to be with you... mentally and emotionally… physically can wait, till you are ready…till my last breath"

Jimin smiles as he nods his head 

**

They date for a couple of months till Jimin wants to give it a try. The first touch is a finger tracing Jungkook's cheek and he can’t breathe, he’s shaking and he can feel tears burning at the backs of his eyes, but the world isn't as dark as it used to get. Jungkook is smiling at him lovingly, though the taller's eyes reflected worry

Jungkook’s building his confidence through exposure; Jimin feels safe enough to explore this new feeling with Jungkook 

Jungkook warns the boy each time before he touches him, even if it is to hold his hand. Jungkook never touches the boy without permission. Jimin felt, as the days and weeks went by, that he wasn't scared anymore. In fact he loved the small touches the two shared occasionally 

**
Jimin loved the sweet kisses Jungkook gave him now. Jimin was the one who asked for them and now Jungkook gave them without being asked - Jimin really liked those, the ones he got, just because Jungkook wanted to. They have been dating for 5 years now

**

Jimin had noticed how many times Jungkook has distanced himself from touching him.  He realises that he doesn't fear getting touched so much anymore 

"People  can get over their trauma.. that's of course possible. Why does that surprise you  Jimin? Your past made you have this phobia but your present made you overcome it.. don't think too much about it... this is exactly how it should be" Jin reassures Jimin

**

Jimin smiles. He doesn't have nightmares about his senior anymore. He is not afraid of touching or being touched. 

He smiles as he looks at Jungkook drinking coffee in the living room. Jungkook made him happy 

They moved in together after college. They had started dating 2 years after they were in college 

**

It's Jungkook's 26th birthday this weekend and Jimin wanted to make it special. And he knows giving himself to Jungkook would be the best gift - it would seal their relationship, show Jungkook that he loved him and trusted him 

**

Jimin searches online and decides to wear the famous tik tok leggings that emphasized his ass. 

"Baby… I'm ho…"

Jungkook's grip on the groceries drops 

"What's wrong Jungkook?" Jimin asks when he hears the thud behind him 

Jungkook blushes and looks away 

"It's  nothing..  my hand slipped…" 

"Let me help you" Jimin says bending down to help the taller and accidently Jimin's ass soon comes in visual field of focus of Jungkook 

Jungkook immediately stands up when he realises he was about to touch that round booty. No he would never do that to Jimin

Jungkook immediately excuses himself and leaves 

Jimin pouts - Wasn't it sexy enough? 

Jimin how could you do this to me... on my birthday!- Jungkook groans as he cums into his hands in the bathroom - I love you so much  

Jimin walks into the room and removed his pant and wore loose clothes 

Jungkook sighs in relief when he saw that Jimin was back to his usual long robe

"You look good babe"

Jungkook comments 

"I didn't look good in the leggings?" Jimin looks at him

Jungkook gulps when his mind flashes images of that ass again "Hot!..I mean yea...you look good.. but you look better this way…. I don't want to have blue balls you know…" 

Jungkook chuckles as Jimin smiles 

Jimin pulls Jungkook slightly to kiss him.

It was not a surprise. They had started kissing slowly over the 5 years they have dated. 

Jimin walks forward as he kissed the man, Jungkook walked back at the action. Soon Jimin was sitting on Jungkook's lap on the bed. 

"Happy birthday baby" Jimin whispers into Jungkook's ear before removing his robe 

Jungkook bites his lips. Jimin was undeniably sexy and he just realized that Jimin wasn't wearing anything other than a lace underwear with strings. If Jungkook untied one string, the whole underwear would just slip off that smooth bottom

Jungkook gulps as he resists the urge to touch the boy

"Baby... I have to go... I…"

"Don't you want me?" Jimin's wavering voice makes Jungkook panics a bit 

"What?"
 
"Do you want to be with me?"

"Baby, of course I do…" Jungkook cups Jimin's cheek "...I love you…" Jungkook softly pecks Jimin's lips

"I love you too and I want you to claim me as yours completely…" Jimin drags his fingers through Jungkook's hair "...I'm ready. I have been ready for few months now…"

"Really?" Jungkook nearly cries in happiness as Jimin kisses him. It's not just because he wanted to have sex with Jimin but the boy's acceptance of him meant that Jimin really trusted and loved him 

"I love you so much…" Jungkook looks up at Jimin’s hooded eyes as he fists his hand into Jimin's hair "...but are you sure... you know I will wa…"

Jimin shuts him up with a kiss 

"I love you Jungkook... please... make me yours ... I trust you…" 

Jungkook smiles softly kissing Jimin one last time before flipping their position on the bed. Jimin gasped 

"I love you too baby... I promise I will take care of you"

The end
