Update

Jimin lay down on his bed still thinking about how close Jungkook was to him. He bit his lip as his toes curled against the mattress, and his breathing hitched.

Just the thought of him made his heart race and to be so close to him, it was surreal. Jimin didn't just feel something towards Jungkook because he was a star, but it was everything else about him.

Jungkook had an expression in his eyes, something that Jimin felt like only he noticed. It was as if his eyes were craving love, as if they craved happiness, just like Jimin. They felt like the same person, but it was stupid to think this way.

There were thousands of girls and boys who must have felt the same. And Jungkook was a star, he could have anyone he wanted. Why would he ever spare Jimin a second glance? Jimin shook his head and closed his eyes, it was just a small crush.

The next morning Jimin had to attend another meeting with Hoseok but now he had fallen ill. He had the worst cold ever, his eyes burned, throat was sore and he was running a fever. Hoseok gave him tea and a medicine.

"Leave this one meeting. You can't go." Hoseok stroked Jimin's hair and smiled sadly.
"But hyu--"
"No. I'm not letting you. Just rest, I'll be back soon. I'll even click a few pictures of Jungkook to help you." Hoseok's smiled and Jimin chuckled.
"Thank you, hyungie." Jimin said cutely and Hoseok laughed.

He got ready and left for the fanmeet which was going to be boring since Jimin wasn't there but oh well, it was his job. He sat in the front row and the meeting began. BTS walked up to the table and began laughing and interacting with fans.

Hoseok panned away from Taehyung to click a snap of Jungkook when he noticed something. Jungkook seemed to be looking for someone. He kept arching his neck to look into the crowd.

Hoseok arched an eyebrow then panned to Taehyung a few moments later, he looked back at Jungkook who was still looking through the crowd.

Strange, he thought to himself.

"Jungkook. Stop looking at him." Taehyung whispered to Jungkook who was busy scanning all the photographers.
"What?" Jungkook asked confused.
"You're looking at that same spot, you need to stop looking. People will catch on and then--"
"He's not here, hyung." Jungkook said and clenched his jaw.

Taehyung was bewildered, how in the hell did this guy know of that one guy was there or not. Taehyung knew that there was someone who intrigued Jungkook but this was another level.

Jungkook's expression fell as he began getting restless. Why was he so worried about that one guy? Jimin.

Jungkook bit his lip as he thought of the pretty name. His big eyes and small frame. The way his hair fell in front of his eyes, how he'd comb his hair back when he reviewed the pictures he took. Jungkook felt himself get more and more impatient.

After the fanmeet ended, Jungkook closed his eyes as he sat in the limo.
"Jungkook. You need to stop looking in one direction, you were doing it again." Namjoon told Jungkook sternly.
"I.. I don't do it intentionally. I don't know why I do it." Jungkook lied and Namjoon sighed. He knew about Jungkook's infatuation with a photographer. All of them knew.

Taehyung held his hand briefly.
"You know why we say this. It's not right for you to do this.." he told him sadly and Jungkook nodded timidly.
"We all want to venture out into the crowd but you know we can't do that anymore." Yoongi said.

Jungkook looked out of the window as he fought back tears of anger. Why was it all like this? He was just an ordinary 23 year old. Couldn't he live like one? Just for a day?

Hoseok reached his apartment and Jimin sat on the couch, huddled up in a blanket.
"Hyung! How was it!?" Jimin beamed and Hoseok hugged him.
"It was okay." he smiled. Hoseok was still thinking about Jungkook looking lost.

"Jungkook looked lost today." Hoseok said and noticed Jimin's reaction.
"What do you mean?" Jimin gulped.
"Like...he kept looking in one place. Usually where you sit. He just couldn't stop, I noticed how the other members tried to warn him but he just didn't listen. As if he couldn't." Hoseok said walking to the kitchen and grabbing a beer.

Jimin nodded. So maybe there was another photographer who sat there and had caught his attention. It made more sense, it was just a habit.

" Anyway. We'll have to go to Japan tomorrow after the fanmeet. You know, there are concerts and stuff. You better get healthy because I'm not travelling with the others. " Hoseok told Jimin who was sort of pensive then but managed to smile.

Jimin kept thinking about what Hoseok had said. But it couldn't be reality, Jungkook wasn't looking for him. He didn't even notice him. Jimin needed to stop being delusional.

He joined Hoseok for a beer, they watched a movie and fell asleep. The next morning was the same. Jimin ran to get ready and they drove off for another fanmeet.

Jimin had his mask up and he sat quietly and today Hoseok was next to him. BTS walked in and Jimin saw Jungkook look right his way and they made eye contact.

Jimin blinked as he felt taken aback and Hoseok looked at Jimin too. He noticed how Jungkook looked his way. Jungkook looked straight ahead and then back at Jimin.

Jimin's heart raced as the fanmeeting conducted, there were too many moments where Jimin felt like Jungkook was looking right at him. Once it got over, they left and stood outside and Jimin looked for his phone in his pockets. They stood on the side in a slightly isolated spot.

"You weren't there yesterday." Jimin turned around and his heart stopped. Hoseok and him still had their masks up and yet Jungkook stood right in front of them. He wore a white shirt and blue jeans and next to him stood Taehyung who looked super worried.

Jungkook had told the security that he was going to grab his phone but in reality he snuck away with Taehyung to talk to Jimin.

"I.." Jimin couldn't say anything.
"You weren't. Am I right?" Jungkook blinked. His own heart was racing as he stood so close to Jimin.
"I..I have a cold." Jimin said and Hoseok was just confused.

"Take care." Jungkook smiled at him and Hoseok as he turned around and walked away. Taehyung shook Hoseok's hand and walked away too.

"What the fuck was that?" Hoseok looked at Jimin.
"I.. I don't know." Jimin gulped, his hands were shivering and legs felt weak. Jungkook had such a strong effect on him. Was it possible he had one on him too?
