The next morning, Jimin was getting into his car to go and pick Jungkook up for work. Just last night, the only subject he touched with Yun-se was Jungkook and mentioning him more, talking about his sexuality and complimenting how Jungkook did so much to help the team. Jimin took every approach to talk about Jungkook to give Yun-se the idea of how he admired him. Yet, Yun-se only changed the subject and there was no approach there.

             Jimin sighed as got onto the driver's side of the car. Letting out a frown and face palming after. "Just... last night Yun-se wanted a baby.." Jimin whispered and shook his head feeling upset. He told his wife there was no way of him having a child and Yun-se would understand....but she inoccently kept bringing it up to the point where the man just had to sleep on the couch for the night. He would say the date was perfect... But he would be lying. Hopefully this was enough to give Yun-se a look into what he felt towards the boy now.

          Jimin couldn't find himself giving Yun-se a kiss... After all of those things he did before with Jungkook, kissing him, having their tongues meet in bed and many other things Jimin did that made the man avoid kissing Yun-se on the lips. Not even a peck would do it. The older got into the car, thinking of Jungkook's behavior last night... The way he brought up kids and caused him to run off. Only leading to Jungkook following after and longing to make Jimin his again. However, Jimin was smart and didn't allow such a thing in a public space. Even if he was daring to kiss those lips, he had to pull back and know his limits.

             Just thinking of the way that boy pulled down his tie and longed for a kiss from his lover, was nothing but trouble just waiting to be unleashed. Jimin just knew this was something Jungkook wouldn't ever let go of... Yet, Jimin wasn't surprised Jungkook would bother since the couple did end up walking to the restaurant, crossing Jungkook's territory and just allowing him to chime in and bother. But after Jimin left the boy behind in the restroom, it all stopped.

           Jimin left the restroom that night and Jungkook stopped bothering after. Leaving the couple to have their time and speak to eachother. In Jungkook's mind, he gave Jimin space to talk this one out... But, not realizing Jimin lightly touched onto the subject before mentioning Jungkook again to get him closer to something. Eventually, this made Yun-se question this to herself... But just brush it off thinking that this is how close friends talk to each other.

             Jimin slowed down by Jungkook's house to see the younger walk out with a cardboard cup holder that held two foam cups of coffee and a small plastic container of two chocolate chip muffins. Jungkook held such a big smile on his face as he walked up to the passenger's seat and opened the door to get in. The boy sat down and leaned in to give Jimin a peck on the lips as he laid back after.

           "Good morning, My love~" Jungkook said as he handed Jimin his coffee and a muffin from the container. "I ran to the coffee store before you got here!"

         "You idiot, couldn't you wait until I came here so we can stop by the coffee store together?" Jimin said with a smile as he looked down at his foam cup of coffee with a giggle.

       "A simple thanks would be perfect, Baby."

          "Thank you~ I love you." Jimin said with a smile and kissed Jungkook once more before taking a sip of the hot coffee and wiping away the remaining drips of coffee from his lips with a napkin Jungkook supplied him with.

            Jungkook smiled and laid back with his coffee, placing on the seat belt and holding a smirk on his face. "So.. Are we going to dive today?"

          "We? No, no... You. There will be people who will help you. I'll be there to watch over you."

           "Ah, but I texted Seokjin about it yesterday and he said he had to teach Yoongi... Why don't you teach me...?"

        "Seokjin only helped swim with Yoongi, you'll be taught the basics by other biologists. I'm an option if I want to help."

         "Come with me then, it'll be amazing!"

          "Kookie!" Jimin giggled and began to drive to work. "It's not about swimming and having an adventure! It's about being quick and getting out quickly with a brisk mindset after putting the experiment out there. Like a big race. Surely, we get to see beautiful things. But, we also have to work for it. Okay?"

            "Okay. But as long as you can teach me, I guess I'll have the time of my life." Jungkook chuckled as Jimin sat there smiling happily.

            "If I jump off the cliff, will you do the same?"

        "Anywhere you'll go I'll follow so, yes!" The younger answered with a big smile on his face. Leaning in to give Jimin a kiss on the cheek while he watched Jimin blush.

          Once the two arrived to the building, they scanned their IDs and disposed of the empty containers that carried the empty paper wraps of muffins and cardboard cup holders. They walked alongside eachother and made it into the lab where they were greeted by Seokjin, who stood by Jimin's section.

           "FINALLY! YOU TWO SHOW UP!" Seokjin rose his tone of voice and folded his arms to look at the two put on their lab coats. "I thought you wouldn't ever come back."

           "Oh come on, Jin! I only missed one day." Jimin replied and adjusted his lab coat. "So did you tell your Father where he would sponsor us?"

         "Yes! We are all set to go in a few weeks. It'll take up to four or three months? Because we are also benefitting the Crochet coral reef project and supporting the coral reef by making figure designs where they could be planted and grow on. It's really helpful to them and keeps them from rotting on the ocean floor.

          "So, we are spending new years over there?" Jungkook chimed in and Seokjin nodded.

          "Sadly, yes. But why dont we just video chat with our loved ones. So we'll not be too far. It'll work." Jin suggested as Jungkook dropped his hand over Jimin's shoulder.

            "At least we would spend the new year abroad and with each other. You may not realize this, but I kind of not-hate you all." Yoongi stated, uncapping a pen and topping it once more.

           "I'm touched." Jimin added so sarcastically as Jin cleared his throat.

            "Liar." Seokjin added as Yoongi shrugged.

             "Last time I open up to you all." Yoongi sighed playfully and kept rolling around on the chair.

            "Anyways, my father said he would rent out a vacation house for us. Not sure how many rooms we will get, but I hope there will be four! I don't want to share with you all like this." Jin stated as Yoongi nodded. Agreeing with the older since he too didn't want to share any rooms.

            "A vacation house sounds lovely. Well, let's get started. I'll start taking Jungkook to train him." Jimin claimed and the rest agreed, watching Jimin walk of and drag Jungkook by his hand.

           "I really hope there will be three rooms and I'll get to share with you~" Jungkook stated and this made Jimin shove the younger as they approached the double doors leading to the back of the building by an ocean.

           "Don't even try to pull something off like that in the place we will rent! What if you get us in trouble?" Jimin worried as he let go of Jungkook's hand while they were welcomed by the salt along the water of the ocean along with froth clashing onto the pillars of the dock structure where the divers board the boat with their equipment before training to swim.

           "Ugh, Jimin! Jin won't tell us anything! The worst he could do is walk in on us and gasp then ignore us for the whole time we are there." Jungkook responded as he then hugged Jimin from the back while he watched a group of biologists board onto a boat to take them far where the ocean floors weren't shallow so they could practice.

             "Yoongi knows about this... But not Seokjin. I can't have him grow disgusted of me.."

               "What's the worst thing he could do? Call the police? Just talk to him if he finds out or grows suspicious. But until then, it's none of his business and I should be able to pull you close into a hug like this. I get jealous and mad when I can't have you. Let alone, having to hide what we have." Jungkook whispered to Jimin's ear and kissed his neck softly.

             "Ah! Stop with these cheesy lines and let's get you someone to teach the basics." Jimin claimed, yet Jungkook refused to move. "Jungkook, you're wasting time! Imagine how much we have to go through so you can learn to swim!"

            "I know. I better see you join me as well. But for now, we have all day to practice. You said you haven't dived since your last trip, so shouldn't you practice too?~"

            "I hate that you're right at times.." Jimin sighed as he patted the top of Jungkook's shoulder. "Wait here. I need to talk to the instructor." Jimin stated as he walked off while Jungkook waited there patiently for his lover to return.

             Jungkook could see it now, walking down the seaside of the island of Cozumel, Mexico with Jimin or even holding hands to gaze at the colorful corals under him. This was a fantasy bound to happen. It was like having a honeymoon but getting paid to be there! The younger watched Jimin smile at an elder, bowing after and spoke to the man about giving Jungkook a few lectures on how to swim without puncturing the air tank or even how to carry such a tank and avoid deadly sharks or even poisonous fish.

         Jungkook smiled at his lover and thought the time he had in Cozumel was just the right amount of time to claim Jimin as his. Enough to send the older home and think of finally telling everyone. Of course, this would happen if Jimin was unsuccessful in coming out now and gave in the towel too soon. Yet, Jungkook knew that Jimin would soon come clean to everyone. The younger just couldn't ever mention the issue to Jimin or else his words of 'I need time' would play on repeat like a broken record Jungkook would always find annoying.

          Yet, there was no doubt that through all the issues they came across with this delima, Jungkook would think of Jimin as the one... The one in his life he would love to get closer to and of course, be the one that replaces that ring from his finger with a better one that was filled with the love he had for the older every second.
