Chapter 22: Suit and tie

              After work, Jimin was back to his normal self, brushing off the kiss and was able to get back to work and share a good laugh with Jungkook over it. But, Jungkook was still thinking back at the moment. The two got dried together after, feeling the slight awkwardness, but Jungkook had no regrets over anything. He owned up to it.

            Jimin then got into his car as Jungkook got inside too, placing on his jacket he would always leave behind in the car. After placing on his jacket, the boy glanced at Jimin. By now, it seemed usual he would do this every time and it didn't seem to bother the older. "Jimin, I don't know what to wear at the Gala. There's so much of my clothes but I can't settle for one." Jungkook complained and let out a sigh. "Can you help me?"

                 "Ah,  Jungkook... The Gala is far from now. There is no need to stress over what to wear. Save that for the final week." Jimin insisted, but Jungkook only shook his head.

                  "But I'm not sure if I should go pick out a suit..." Jungkook added as Jimin chuckled.

                  "Do you want me to go inside your house and decide what you will wear?"

                   "I-I need a second opinion." Jungkook replied as Jimin took a moment and nodded after. Leaving Jungkook to smile happily. "So you are going to help?!" Jungkook asked so happily and made the older smile after.

                   "Of course I am. I don't even think that you'll let me sleep if I don't help." Said Jimin, keeping his eyes on the road. Not even taking one second to look at Jungkook. The whole situation made Jimin feel weird and he thought something was up, but of course... He was just overthinking things again.

             Soon, Jimin pulled up by Jungkook's house and killed the engine, taking out the keys too as he stepped out with the younger. Jimin was going to help Jungkook out and felt a little off by just walking into Jungkook's house. Jungkook unlocked the door and stepped inside to turn on the lights of the house. Allowing Jimin to follow in.

            Jimin walked in to see the beautiful and well decorated house too. The living room had a calm and baby blue colored walls, white seated couches, brown rugs, framed pictures of his family, a big television sitting on a television table set, videogames scattered along the coffee table and up ahead was a small kitchen. From the living room, Jimin focused his eyes on the kitchen where there was a long stove, white marbled counters and the kitchen sink there.

             Jungkook smiled and patted Jimin's back, leading him to the bedroom where Jungkook was going to show him his clothes he had in mind for the Gala. Jimin thought it was odd how Jungkook chose today to go through his clothes. Jungkook switched on the light and walked into his room where Jimin looked at a big, wide bed with blue covers, small room lights along the walls and a big projector across the big bed like a movie cinema with surround sound.

              "Woah... This is like a cinema!" Jimin said in awe. Amazed at how creative Jungkook was to turn his room into a stay-at-home theater.

               "Yeah. It's pretty cool." Jungkook replied and walked up to his closet, taking out formal wears as he pointed to the bed. "Sit." The boy demanded as Jimin quickly sat down and took another good look around.

            Jungkook pulled out formal and elegant outfits, setting them out on the bed where he had dress shirts of red, black, blue, white and baby blue. Some exposed his chest and some had frilled cuffs that literally made it more difficult to choose which one looked better. Jungkook then took out coats and matching ties and set them onto the bed next to Jimin. Leaving Jimin impressed on how much elegant clothes he had. "They all look very nice!" Jimin commented as Jungkook smiled and held up a black tie.

           "That's the problem. I don't know which one to choose and it takes ages for me to make up my mind. If I choose one, I'll wear it and regret it." Jungkook complained and looked down at his black tie. "I want something that will look good with this tie."

             "It's a black tie so anything will look good with it." Jimin giggled, standing up as he pushed up his glasses and looked down at the clothes. "Black looks good with you... Maybe a black and white tux?"

            "No. I always wear that style to work. I want something different." Jungkook added as he pointed to the dark blue, silk dress shirt that had a v-neck and reached down to the center of the chest. "That one?"

               "No. It needs to be professional. Try on... These clothes." Jimin added as he handed Jungkook the red dress shirt with the black coat and black tie. "If that doesn't look good, use the light blue dress shirt and go with your sleeves rolled up." Jimin advised as he sat back down on the bed and awaited Jungkook to model out the clothes.

            "You know so much about this. Why aren't you my dresser?" Jungkook teased as he walked to his bathroom in the room. Jungkook walked in and carried the clothes in his hands as Jimin sat down and waited for the younger. "Hey, Jungkook! Maybe you can wear contacts that day. It'll really complete the look!"

           "I can see well without them. Just not be able to see far, you should wear contacts, Four eyes." Jungkook replied beyond the door as Jimin smiled and looked down as he thought about the idea.

          "Contacts doesn't seem that bad for one night." Jimin mentioned as Jungkook was silent while putting on his clothes. "I hope you are trying on the red dress shirt first!"

        "Fuck.." Jungkook growled, followed by fabric rustling just behind the door.

        "Anyways, it all depends with my outfit. I'll only wear contacts if it looks good with my outfit." Jimin mentioned as Jungkook began to laugh as he stepped out of the bathroom with the buttons in the wrong place and the tie in his hands.

         "Then wear contacts everyday. It'll match." Jungkook claimed, walking up to a mirror and fixing his buttons on his dress shirt, then placing on the tie too.

           "I don't like using them everyday. It makes me uncomfortable. For the longest, I've worn glasses. Not contacts and it burns my eyes!" Jimin claimed as Jungkook finished tying the tie around his collar and turned to face Jimin, stepping back to grab the coat from the bathroom and throw it on.

         "They're contacts. Of course they are going to burn when you first put them on." Jungkook chuckled and stepped up to Jimin and show him the look. "Is it okay?"

          "Yes! You look good! Let me take a picture so we can compare it with the other when you are done." Jimin said as he held out his phone to take a picture of Jungkook. "You're very photogenic." Jimin said as he took the picture and looked at it.

          "I get that a lot." Jungkook replied, nervously scratching his neck as Jimin finally looked up with another cute smile.

           "Come on, go put on the next one so I can go home already!" Jimin said as Jungkook nodded and walked back to the bathroom, closing the door and beginning to change into the next outfit.

               Jimin stood up again and walked around Jungkook's room to find his collection of fragrances, face masks and lotions on top of the cabinets of his room. Jimin wandered around as Jungkook called out to Jimin once more. "Jimin? Are you still there?"

              "Yes." Jimin replied as he held his phone and looked at the picture of Jungkook with just his red dress shirt and black coat. Jimin kept looking at it and enjoyed staying here with Jungkook for a while. It made the older feel excited for the Gala. Even if it wasn't like a royal ball, it was more like meeting sponsers and telling them the projects and experiments on why this should take action. Yet, just looking at Jungkook's attire made Jimin feel like he should look good for the Gala. Not to look presentable, but to look just as nice as Jungkook too. Infact, Jimin wanted the whole team to look nice on the day of the Gala. Let alone, it will fall on Jimin's birthday, so looking very nice that day was Jimin's priority.

          Jungkook stepped out of the bathroom with the baby blue dress shirt's sleeves rolled up and the tie around his collar. "I think I like this one more." Jungkook mentioned as Jimin giggled and held up the phone to take another picture to compare now. Jimin looked at the red outfit and back at the current outfit Jungkook had on. "I like the red one... But I have to admit, the blue is better." Jimin claimed as he sat down next to Jungkook on the bed, just then, Jimin swiped a bit too far to see a picture of him and his wife taking a picture together at what seemed to be at a restaurant. The picture looked old like a few months or a year back. No current picture was taken with his wife since the couple was too busy to go out now.

            Jimin quickly swiped back to the picture of Jungkook and looked at the younger. "Stay with that one. It looks better on you!" Jimin complimented. Jungkook looked back at Jimin, fixing his eyes on the older for a moment.

         "Thank you..." Jungkook responded as he looked at Jimin's lips and then back at his eyes. "...Do... you need help to find something...?"

            "No.. I can find something on my own, thank you." Jimin added, and before Jungkook can lean in for a kiss, Jimin stood up quickly, avoiding what layed ahead. He knew if Jungkook was to kiss him, one thing would lead to another and of course, they were both sitting on the bed so there was no doubt something was bound to happen. "It was fun, but we can't be late for work so I might as well start heading home." Jimin claimed as Jungkook just sat there on the bed, looking up at Jimin and just begging him to stay through his gleaming gaze behind his round glasses.

            "...right.." Jungkook replied. Jimin waved and brushed off that silent moment between the two. Jimin left with a strong mind on trying to forget the kiss and the strong intentions Jungkook had for Jimin while he looked at him on the bed. It almost irked the older, but yet again... He wanted it to happen?

          Jimin was confused. He pinpointed the many things that made him feel like there was something between the two. The way Jungkook looked at him as much as Jimin did in return, the way Jimin giggled now to everything Jungkook did, the kisses he would close his eyes to and slightly forget the ring. Finally, the feeling Jimin felt within when he was almost daring to kiss Jungkook on the bed just a few minutes back! The older was losing his mind now.

           Jimin crawled onto his bed that night, as he found himself looking through the pictures of Jungkook as Yun-se was fast asleep right by his side. At that moment, Jimin was close to bringing himself into tears from his confusing thoughts. Now realizing he looked at Jungkook more than any friend would.... His stares and actions toward the boy now turned into a deep and sweet feeling called love.
