JIMIN'S POV:

After an hour of munching on the chips, gossiping about the soccer team and video-calling Taehyung to make him jealous that me and Jungkook were hanging out together, me and Jungkook sat in a weirdly awkward silence. It's strange since even the silences between us are never awkward or uncomfortable. But even now, we weren't the ones making it weird, but a certain elephant in the room.

The kiss.

I had somewhat agreed to it, but I knew Jungkook won't bring it up until he has my verbal agreement to it. I glimpsed to sneak a glance at his soft, pink lips. His top lip was thin enough to make it seem invisible as his bunny teeth peeked out from under it. He was adorable.

Sighing, I shifted in my spot to face him, and seeing my activeness, Jungkook mirrored my action. We kept on looking into each other's eyes for a good two minutes. Him —not knowing what to say now— and, me— not knowing how to say it.

Muttering a 'fuck it' under my breath, I finally spoke up, "Kook, I'm fine with doing the... the practice thing."

His eyes widened slightly, before they sparkled and a bright smile blessed his lips. "Really?"

I nodded. Once. Twice. "Yeah."

A tiny giggle left his throat before he composed himself and looked at me with his eyes soft and compassionate — almost loving. "You do know that you don't have to do this unless you're completely fine with it, right? There's no pressure from my side, Chim."

"It's really fine, Kook. I wouldn't have agreed if I wasn't okay with it."

"So, uh," His cheeks flushed as he rubbed the back of his neck. "Should we do it now or...?"

"Let's get this over with," I nodded to myself. "Yeah, right."

I glanced up to look at him nodding to himself too. "Uhm, how do we do this?" he asked with genuine curiosity and a hint of excitement in his eyes.

"I don't know." I sighed, and we both shook our heads at the same time, before bursting into laughter.

'Damn, we're really awkward about this." I said between shallow breaths, while wiping the tears which appeared from laughing so hard, as Jungkook held one of my arms to prevent me from falling down the couch... again.

"Duh. It's not in my usual schedule to go on a kissing spree with guys." He said sarcastically as I rolled my eyes.

"Neither do I!"

He chuckled as a light pink painted his cheeks. "Well, it's technically not the same. You, are bisexual, Chim, but me, on the other hand is straight."

Raising my eyes in challenge, I gave him a mock sweet smile, "Yeaaaah, just a super straight man who is planning to kiss another guy."

He gave me one glare, and I totally shut up after that.

"Anyways," he leaned slightly closer to me, testing the waters. "Should we get somewhat comfortable or you wanna get this over with?" he asked, his voice gentle and soft as he whispered. And that's when I realized how close he was to my face now.

My skin flushed as I whispered back, "I think... we should get a little into the... the zone for this, So that it's not awkward, of course."

Nodding, he hesitantly reached his palm out to rest against my cheek and I involuntarily leaned into it. If he noticed, he didn't say it. Seeing him shift closer, I slowly leaned towards him too, so that he doesn't feel like the only one participating in this.

My fingertips brushed against his other hand—resting on his thigh— and I held his fingers in my hand. As the distance between our faces decreased, my grip on his fingers tightened and he shifted his palm to take whole of mine in his; intertwining his fingers with mine as our hands rested on his thigh now.

A faint smile rested on his face when mere inches were left between our lips. The thumb of his hand grazed my cheek softly, reassuring me in the most subtle ways. I could feel my heart thrumming in my chest, and I fluttered my eyes close.

After what seemed like an eternity, his hot breath fell over my lips as he whispered, "Last chance to back out, Chim."

I squeezed his hand in mine to let him know that I'm not backing down. And that's when his lips pressed against mine in the sweetest and most tender kiss. At first, both of us stayed still, and that's when I was hit with the realization and also the only reason over why we were doing this in the first place.

He didn't know how to kiss.

Exhaling deeply, I took the lead and shifted closer to him. I placed my free hand on his neck to pull him closer and parted my lips ever so slightly to lock with his.

After a few seconds, he started to copy my movements, parting his lips to enclose around mine. As I tilted my head to deepen the kiss, I had already forgotten that this was my best friend I was kissing.

But, oh well, did I not enjoy it thoroughly.

I slightly parted from the kiss, murmuring against his lips, "You're doing so well... Just like that, you're perfect." I mumbled a few more praises and that seemed to have gotten to him, because his palm that was cupping my cheek suddenly threaded in my hair and tugged on it to pull me even closer to him.

Did I like it? Yes. Was I ever gonna tell him that? Absolutely not.

Smirking against his lips, I pulled back again, "I wanna try something else too, Kook. Only if you're fine."

He looked at me with half-lidded eyes and nodded like a lost bunny. My lips collided with his again, and this time, I softly nipped on his bottom lip before soothing the light sting with my tongue. And damn, the sound leaving his throat was doing things to me.

Feeling bolder, I gently bit into his lower lip this time which resulted into the grip of his hand intertwined with mine to increase and his needy whine to bless my ears. So much for being 'straight'.

Continuing my gentle assault on his lips, along with the occasional praises, I had officially caused Jeon Jungkook to melt and turn into a mess of needy whimpers and a very aggressive hair pulling (to me). But oh well, you don't see me complaining.

When we finally pulled away, after God knows how long of making out, we both averted our eyes to catch our breaths. But, one thing which remained the same was us holding hands, even now.

After a few minutes of silence, accompanied with our shallow breathing, we finally turned to look at each other. And to be honest, I had no idea over how to act now. Jungkook was looking everywhere except my eyes, and it eventually did get to what I didn't want it to be like.

Extremely awkward.

Taking a deep breath, I said in a quiet whisper, "Kook... we decided to not let it make things awkward between us." Damn, I couldn't even say or merely think of the word 'kiss' right now without blushing like a maniac.

"Yeah, yeah, you're right." He nodded a few times to himself, before finally meeting my eyes which were sparkling unlike I've ever seen them. And to be honest, no matter how much he decides to deny it, I could see that he enjoyed it. Loved it, even. A smug smile formed on my face unknowingly, and I unintentionally started laughing for God knows what reason.

He shook his head, a small smile forming on his lips when I stood up to bring the remote of the television. Plopping down back on the gray couch, I handed a bar of chocolate to him as I put on an Anime for us to watch.

Grabbing the chocolate and ripping it open, he took a bite from the topmost corner, and my eyes fixated on the way his soft lips wrapped around the edge of it and his teeth bit down ont-

"Are we gonna watch the show or you're gonna feast on the sight of me?" He quirked an eyebrow and smiled smugly and reached out for his phone while I just rolled my eyes and scrolled through the long list of sports Anime.

Finally deciding on one, while Jungkook texted someone on his phone, I clicked the play button and leaned further into the cushions. "Blue Lock it is."

His eyes darted towards the television from his phone as a bright smile formed on his lips. "Hell, yeah." He looked back down on his phone while his fingers continued to fly over the keyboard and that certainly helped in sparking my curiosity.

Jeon Jungkook, who despises calling and texting was chatting with someone with that amount of enthusiasm? Certainly quaint.

I got the answer to my curiosity when Jungkook finally locked his phone with a blindingly huge grin on his face. Raising my eyebrows. I tore off my gaze from the screen and looking at him.

"Mia said she's gonna come to the Taehyung's tomorrow!" he said cheerfully, while grinning at the black screen of his phone and I let out a soft sigh.

Great. So I was supposed to see my best friend's fucking crush the day after I kissed him. Fucking sweet.

Locking eyes, we both held each other's gaze before speaking at the same time, "Don't do anything stupid."
