Summary: Jungkook is obviously Namjoon's biggest fan, and he sticks to his leader like glue. Though Namjoon has always found it endearing, for a while he also found it annoying, having the youngest constantly following him everywhere, attached to him at the hip. But, when Jungkook one day starts to ignore Namjoon, the older realizes how important Jungkook is to him.

Namjoon was sitting on the couch, scrolling on his phone when a heavy weight dropped on to him.

"Uf" he groaned, looking up to see Jungkook smiling at him, adjusting himself on Namjoon's lap.

"Hi, Hyungie!" He cheered, falling against Namjoon's chest to hug him tightly.

Namjoon rolled his eyes, but, nevertheless, wrapped an arm loosely around Jungkook's back, going back to his phone without a reply.

Jungkook ended up falling asleep in Namjoon's arms, quiet snores coming from his mouth.

Namjoon's legs were asleep, his back hurt, and he had to pee. But he didn't want to wake the youngest up, no matter how annoying he was.

Eventually, though, his bladder got the best of him.

He stood up, his arm under Jungkook's butt to keep him from falling.

He carried the younger to his room, placing him on his bed before hurrying to the bathroom.

Afterwards, he went to his room to get his book, before going back to the couch, laying down this time.

He opened the book where he had left off, and began reading.

An hour later, a sleepy Jungkook came in, pouting at Namjoon.

"Hyung!" He whined, "you left me!"

Namjoon rolled his eyes again, but let Jungkook lay on top of him.

"I didn't leave you," he stated, "I had to pee."

Jungkook nodded into the crook of Namjoon's neck, "you could have taken me with you."

"Ew, Jungkook!" Namjoon laughed.

Jungkook laughed into Namjoon's neck, before snuggling into him more.

He fell back asleep shortly after.

Namjoon read in the silence of the house.

The next day, he woke up to someone climbing in bed next to him, snuggling into his chest.

He felt the person grab his arm, wrapping it around their waist.

He opened his eyes, looking down to see Jungkook's dark brown eyes staring into his.

He had a bunny smile, and his cheeks were tinted pink.

"Morning, Hyungie. Did you sleep good?" He asked, pouting cutely.

Namjoon yawned, nodding, "I did, until you woke me up."

Namjoon closed his eyes and listened to Jungkook grumble and complain for a few seconds.

He fell asleep for two more hours, and when he woke up, Jungkook was still there, clinging onto him and snoring into his chest.

Namjoon pushed the younger off of him, going to his bathroom to start getting ready.

Afterwards, he went to the kitchen, seeing Jin there.

"Morning, Hyung," he greeted.

"Good morning, Namu. How did you and Kookie sleep?" Jin asked, slicing some vegetables.

"Good. Can you make me some?" Namjoon asked hopefully, ignoring the fact that Jin new Jungkook was with Namjoon that morning (and most other mornings).

Jin sighed, "Aish, always making me cook. Sure, Namjoon, go ask if the others want some."

Namjoon smiled, and left the kitchen to find the others.

Yoongi and Hobi were in the yard working on a song, and they both wanted some.

Jimin was too deep in sleep to wake up, so Namjoon took it as a no.

Taehyung was in bed still, and grumbled at Namjoon until he left.

Namjoon took that as a yes.

Now, he had to go back to his own room to ask Jungkook.

He walked in to find Jungkook awake and on his phone.

When Jungkook saw Namjoon, he grinned brightly, getting out of bed to run over to Namjoon.

"Hi, Namjoon!" He jumped into Namjoon's arms, hugging him tightly.

"Hi, Jungkook. Do you want what Jin is making?" Namjoon asked, stumbling a bit from the force of Jungkook jumping on to him.

"What's he making?" Jungkook asked, pulling slightly away so he could look at Namjoon.

Namjoon shrugged, "I don't know."

Jungkook shrugged, too, "Sure."

Namjoon nodded, and tried to set Jungkook down, but the boy clung to him like a parasite.

"Jungkook," Namjoon said sternly, "I need to go to the kitchen."

"Carry me, hyung," Jungkook replied, smiling at Namjoon, who rolled his eyes in reply.

Namjoon started walking to the kitchen, sighing as he had to hold Jungkook up.

"Everyone except Jimin wants some, hyung," Namjoon told Jin, once he got to the kitchen.

Jin nodded, "I'll make him some, anyway. Is he awake?"

"No," Namjoon said sheepishly.

"Aish! Then how did you know he doesn't want any!" Jin laughed.

Jungkook giggled into Namjoon's shoulder.

"You're so mean, Hyung," Namjoon teased, blushing as he left to go to the living room.

He sat Jungkook down, and tried to leave, but Jungkook pulled him down to the couch, before he layed across his lap, staring up at Namjoon.

"What's the matter, Kook?" Namjoon asked, huffing at the boy.

"Nothing, hyungie," Jungkook reassured, continuing to stare.

"You're so pretty, hyung," Jungkook blushed, giggling.

Namjoon blushed, too, and pushed Jungkook off of him, causing the younger to clatter to the ground.

"You're so annoying, Jungkook."

Namjoon walked out of the room, leaving a giggling Jungkook on the floor.

After everyone had eaten breakfast, Namjoon left to go take a nap, and of course, Jungkook followed.

Namjoon was laying on his stomach when Jungkook came in, getting under the covers and laying himself over Namjoon's back.

Jungkook lied on his stomach, too, resting the side of his head on the back of Namjoon's neck.

"You're so warm, Namjoonie hyungie," Jungkook said softly.

Namjoon grunted in response, turning on to his side so that Jungkook would fall off of him.

Jungkook yelped when he landed on the floor, staring up at Namjoon's back with a pout.

He stood up, grabbing at the blankets to pull them down, but Namjoon pulled the blankets over his head.

Jungkook pouted again, staring at the lump on the bed for a few seconds.

He walked out of the room silently.

~

When Namjoon woke up, it was already lunch time.

He went to the kitchen and made a quick meal, eating it at the table accompanied by Hobi and Taehyung putting together a jigsaw puzzle.

After he ate, he wondered around the house.

Then, he spotted Jungkook in Jin's room, playing a video game with the oldest.

"Hi, guys," he greeted.

"Hi," they said in sync, not even sparing a glance at him as they were in the middle of a game.

Namjoon sat on the bed next to Jungkook, waiting for the younger to stand up and move to Namjoon's lap instead, just like he always did.

But Jungkook stayed put, focusing on the tv.

Namjoon sighed, confused as to why Jungkook finally leaving him alone made him sad.

He got up and left a few seconds later, trudging back to his room.

He got his book back out and started reading it.

He paused a few seconds later, looking at his clock to find out an hour had passed already.

He frowned, noticing Jungkook hadn't come in to disturb him once.

He left his room again, finding Jungkook doing something with Jimin at the kitchen counter.

"Hello," Namjoon greeted, placing his hands on the counter.

He waited for Jungkook to move one of his arms so that he could stand in the space between the counter and Namjoon, with Namjoon's arms on either side of him, like he always did.

But Jungkook, once again, didn't move.

"Hi, hyung!" Jimin smiled.

"Hi, hyung," Jungkook said, distractedly.

The two were putting icing on cookies.

Namjoon poked his finger into the icing, wiping it on to Jungkook's nose.

He expected the boy to gasp cutely and yell at Namjoon as he giggled. Or pout adorably up at Namjoon and whine at him.

But Jungkook glared at him, "don't waste icing, hyung."

Namjoon blushed dejectedly.

"Oh," he said, hurt, "sorry, kookie."

Namjoon walked away again, sitting on the couch with a sad expression.

Later on, when they were all sitting down to eat dinner, Namjoon kept his chair scooted out and his plate moved to the side so that Jungkook could sit on his lap and have room for his own plate.

But Jungkook decited to sit in his own chair for once.

Namjoon stared sadly at Jungkook, who was conversing with Yoongi, looking just fine sitting on his own.

"Try this, Jungkookie," Namjoon tried, a bit later into dinner, holding a bite of food out for Jungkook.

"No thank you, hyung, I don't like that," Jungkook replied, pushing Namjoon's hand away.

"Oh," Namjoon replied.

He stared at the bite, and set it aside just in case.

Jungkook never ate it.

~

Now, Namjoon was in bed, rolling around. He couldn't sleep.

He had been lying in bed for hours, but the thought of Jungkook was keeping him up.

He finally got up, heading to Jungkook's room.

He spotted the boy sleeping soundly, and selfishly scooped the boy up, carrying him to his own room.

Jungkook woke up halfway there, looking around confusedly.

"Hm?" He hummed, looking up at Namjoon with tired squinty eyes.

Namjoon set him carefully his bed, climbing in beside him.

He pulled the covers up over both of them, pulling Jungkook into his body.

He gathered Jungkook in his arms, holding the warm boy tightly, breathing hard against his neck.

"What happened, hyung?" Jungkook asked, worried about Namjoon, hugging him back.

"I should be asking you that."

"What do you mean?" Jungkook replied, confused.

"You've been distant since breakfast was over," Namjoon explained.

"Hyung," Jungkook replied seriously, "that's because I thought you were sick of me. You pushed me on to the floor and you'd roll your eyes and leave me. So I thought I should stop being so attached to you."

Namjoon looked at Jungkook now, frowning sadly.

He rested his forehead against Jungkook's.

"I'm sorry I did that to you. I didn't realize how much I needed your constant invasions of personal space," he joked.

Jungkook giggled, blushing.

"I mean it though, Jungkook. I was a bit annoyed at you for constantly clinging to me. But when you stopped clinging to me, I realized just how much I need you here, how precious you are to me."

Jungkook blushed even more, looking down shyly.

"Hey," Namjoon whispered, bringing Jungkook's head back to by gently holding his chin, "can you please forgive me?"

Jungkook nodded immediately, "of course I forgive you, Namjoonie, I miss sitting in your lap, and I miss you feeding me. And I miss feeling your chest against my back."

Now Namjoon was blushing, but he was grinning.

"Good," he whispered, before slowly connecting their lips together.

Jungkook immediately kissed back, smiling in to it.

It was gentle and sweet, and neither one of the boys wanted to end it.

But, when the need to breathe became too much, they separated, keeping their foreheads together.

"You're my precious boy, Jungkookie. I really care about you."

"I really care about you, too, Namjoonie."

They stared at each other, before Namjoon pressed another desperate kiss to Jungkook's lips.

"Let's sleep now, Kookie," he stated, closing his eyes as he clung to Jungkook.

Jungkook hummed in agreement, cuddling into Namjoon more than he already was.
