The next morning, Jimin woke up to feel Yun-se poking his face gently as she sat by him on her side of the bed. Yun-se made a smile as she continuously poked Jimin's face. She was already wearing her attire for work and noticed Jimin fell asleep in his work uniform.

           "You were so sleepy you fell asleep in your uniform." Yun-se giggled and looked down to see Jimin's phone running low on battery. "And you forgot to put your phone to charge."

            Jimin flinched and sat up instantly, looking around in panic as Yun-se kept laughing, standing up so she could out on her heels and finish putting on makeup for work. "W-What time is it?!"

             "Calm down, Jimin. It's 5:56AM. You still have time for work and to pick Jungkook up." Yun-se claimed as Jimin tilted his head.

            "Y-You... Know I still talk to him?"

             "It's obvious since you must have faked the call... Right?" Yun-se then giggled. "He's your friend and I respect that."

             "Y-Yeah..." Jimin responded and blinked his eyes. "Do you know where my glasses are?"

             Yun-se took a good look around the room and suddenly stumbled upon them on the floor and the ring was right under the bed. Sitting on the cold floor too. "You must have been really sleepy last night! I'm so worried about you... You haven't gotten a good sleep. Maybe you should sleep all day for your birthday." Yun-se suggested as Jimin smiled and shook his head as Yun-se placed the glasses over her husband's face.

         "Can't. We are holding another Gala to meet sponsers." Jimin replied and sat up as he looked at Yun-se holding the ring and handing it to Jimin. To Jimin, that ring was beginning to feel like handcuffs now.

          "They are doing this almost every year! You deserve a day off on your birthday."

            "It's buisness, Yun-se. Not preschool." Jimin claimed as he stood up and went to the bathroom, closing the door behind him to brush his teeth, wash his face and get ready. He would usually keep it open to talk to his wife, but today... Jimin felt different. The atmosphere around him no longer seemed dandy and his life was no longer stable. He realized these feelings for Jungkook and just couldn't help but to worry. What was going to happen now?

           Jimin then stepped out of the bathroom, ready for work after a quick shave and refreshing face mask. Jimin looked up and saw Yun-se finishing up her makeup and applying her eyeliner to pull the whole look together. "Jimin, I put your phone to charge. Charge it in the car too." Yun-se suggested as Jimin looked at the phone and nodded his head as he walked off to pick it up and go to work, but just then, Yun-se got up and quickly hugged Jimin from the back and smiled. "I don't hear a 'Thank you' or an 'I love you' hm?"

            "You're welcome and love you too." Jimin said as he chuckled and gave Yun-se a peck on the forehead and walked out of the room and closed the door behind him as Yun-se started to pick up an off feeling that made her wonder if Jimin was just sleepy or just different now.

            Jimin got into the car and set his phone to charge as he started to get messages from Jungkook. At a time like this, Jimin wished Jungkook would have at least kept his distance. Now seeing Jungkook would be difficult since everytime Jimin would think of the boy, he would feel like his heart would skip a beat, he would feel nervous, happy and excited at the same time. It was like he was falling in love for the first time... Something he never felt before with his wife. To him, the words 'I love you' didn't fit so properly with anything before. It was just a phrase to him just being misused every day.

            Jimin sighed as he looked at the mirror to see he had bags under his eyes like always and all he could do was blink his tired eyes from his thoughts finally being silenced with the overall fact that he really did fall in love with Jungkook. It was obvious Jungkook felt the same way and there was no point in falling into the love game, but Jimin didn't think this was right! Cheating on Yun-se as Jimin went off kissing Jungkook. It was enough to leave Jimin worrying and thinking of this over and over again. He stressed the little things out too much.

           "I... can't use this...I'm not loyal enough to wear this... But I have to..." Jimin whispered, looking at his ring. "Ugh, why is this so confusing? I'll have to keep quiet about this... I can't even tell Yun-se about this! No one... But, I can tell Jungkook. He'll- ah! No! Then Jungkook will want a relationship." Jimin argued with himself as he pushed himself to go pick Jungkook up. Suddenly, he grew nervous. Was this how it felt to fall for someone? Never did he love Yun-se like this so the feeling was new to him.

            Jimin pulled up by Jungkook's place as the boy got out of his house and looked at the older in the car. Jungkook held a bright smile for the day and got into the car to look at Jimin. "Good morning!" Jungkook said happily as Jimin nervously tapped onto the steering wheel and looked at Jungkook, pushing up his glasses and returning the smile.

            "Good morning, Mr. Jeon." Jimin said and quickly looked forward as Jungkook didn't even bother to put on his seat belt. Jungkook suddenly pointed Jimin's face to his and gave him a stare. Looking deep into his eyes.

           "Tired again, Jimin? I can drive us to work if you'd like?" Jungkook offered as  Jimin started to blush and quickly turn his head away from Jungkook's focus, looking at the steering wheel as Jungkook tilted his head. "No?"

           "I can drive, Mr. Jeon." Jimin replied as Jungkook started to chuckle, placing on his seatbelt.

           "Alright, Jimin. But if you'd like... We can call in sick today so you can get some sleep." Jungkook proposed. Jimin blinked and looked at Jungkook, starting to chuckle.

            "Jungkook! Do you know what everyone will think if the both of us mysteriously disappeared the next day?" Jimin started to laugh as Jungkook smiled.

            "That we were killed in a car accident?" Jungkook teased, making Jimin laugh again.

              "Shut up, we are going to work. I'm not an intern, I work there and I need to get payed." Jimin mentioned making Jungkook laugh. Jungkook then layed back on the seat of the car and looked at Jimin the whole car ride.

          They reached the building and Jimin had to drag Jungkook out of the car and to the lab while the younger was playfully laying on Jimin's back.

            "Ah! Jungkook come on!" Jimin laughed as he passed through security with Jungkook and dragged the briefcase through the halls and to the lab. Just then, Jimin dropped Jungkook onto their work section and Jimin took a moment to grasp some air. "I-Idiot!"

           "Did it wake you up?" Jungkook asked with a sweet smile as he layed on Jimin's office chair.

           "I should kill you!" Jimin threatened making Jungkook chuckle. Drawing in the attention of Yoongi as soon as he stepped in the lab.

          "Look at you love birds, laughing early in the morning... I hate early birds.." Yoongi stated as he dropped onto a rolling chair and looked at the two. "Good news on the Gala, My Father says he will throw it down at the main hall. You know, the one we don't use anymore. Keep it for a storage room, but it was big enough to hold a nice Gala." Yoongi advised the two as Jimin looked at the older.

           "Are they cleaning up the room now?"

           "No. Later on today. I hope you all find something good to wear because I need our looks to be on point that day. Show those sponsers we mean buisness. All of those rich sponsers will be paying attention to presentation, looks and confidence. So, Jungkook can answer any questions from our sponser." Yoongi claimed and not a moment too soon, Seokjin walked in, holding a cup of coffee as he sat down by his desk. "Seokjin will negotiate and pick the sponser we will talk to, but it's his job to lure them in and catch their attention." Yoongi continued and Seokjin let out a scoff.

            "I just got here and you all are already stressing me out! What's wrong with you all? Don't you care about my well-being?!" Jin complained, making Jimin laugh.

           "We need you to be in this, lure them in with a good joke!" Jungkook added onto the conversation as Jin then smiled and looked at his cup of coffee.

            "Well if you put it like that, I love it!" The older replied confidently, but Yoongi held a sour face.

             "We are trying to get a sponser... Not kill one." Yoongi responded as Jin suddenly hit Yoongi's arm and continued to laugh.

              "That was uncalled for! You love to pick on your elders, do you?!" Seokjin asked as he turned to Jimin and ask him on his thoughts on the matter, but right on time, Jimin was already dragging Jungkook off to the chemical chamber. This made Seokjin stop and turn his head back to Yoongi. "Don't you ever get the feeling that they are too close now these days?" Seokjin asked the man followed by a shrug from Yoongi.

           "Well they are partners in this, so what do you expect?" Yoongi asked and let out a chuckle. Knowing deep down he already picked up a feeling of them holding a tight bond.

            Jimin walked into the chemical chamber with Jungkook by his side. Making sure the younger placed on the gear to avoid what happened the day before. Jungkook sighed and looked at Jimin with a frown, "Do we have to stare at a coral for hours again?" He asked the older as Jimin shook his head.

         "We have to make sure it's healthy enough to show our sponser soon." Jimin mentioned, placing on the goggles, the apron and the gloves as soon as he made sure Jungkook was wearing his. "Think of it as a baby we look after. One we foster."

             "Or have of our own~" Jungkook smirked, walking up to the shelf and taking down the small coral that was now planted at the bottom of the dish.

             "Mr. Jeon, a male and a male can not have a child." Jimin giggled and yawned after. "That's crazy."

             "Adoption?" Jungkook continued and this made Jimin smile and pull up a chair by the counter, laying his head down by the sample and looking at the dish followed after another yawn. "You can sleep. I'll watch after our child. Or.. Coral." Jungkook continued.

           "Coral, it's just a coral." Jimin laughed and kept staring at the dish after another yawn slipped from his mouth. Jungkook then stepped up and took off Jimin's goggles and glasses to let him sleep. Jimin blushed and felt the younger softly caress his hair back to let him sleep. Jimin's eyes still met with the figure through his blurry vision, seeing how Jungkook cared for him, smiled for him and secretly adored him.

            The feeling was soft to Jimin, he felt safe around the boy like no one was going to stop them over the ring under his glove. Jimin closed his eyes with the sensation of Jungkook just standing right by his side, brushing his hair back and making sure he payed attention to their project at the same time. To Jimin, Jungkook was a keeper.
