Chapter Eighteen
Third Person's POV
"Did you cry last night?" Jungkook asked the older and suddenly touched both of his cheeks, Jimin blinked and averted his gaze from him because of the nervousness he was feeling.
"Aw," He cooed and suddenly he pulled and hugged Jimin which made the latter more nervous that he did earlier.
"It's okay." He says to him, Jimin was surprised by what he said to him but it was soon forgotten when Jungkook swayed their bodies together, that made Jimin held Jungkook's waist. Jungkook smelled nice, Jimin smiled because of that and buried his face on his shoulder.
"What are you doing?" Namjoon steps in. Jimin was startled by his voice and raised his head. Namjoon is looking at them with bothered expression.
"Hugging." Jungkook simply answered.
"Get a room instead of openly flirting here." Namjoon blurted out and suddenly looked at Jimin.
"What?" Jungkook asked him and in the tone of his speech he did not seem to like what Namjoon said.
"Hello!" Hoseok suddenly yelled at them, attracting their attention.
"Hi, Jimin!" Hoseok greets him and focused his gaze on the younger and his expression fell.
"Hey, did you cry last night? Aw, nooo" He said and moved closer. Namjoon only realizes after Hoseok mentioned it. Jimin noticed the change in Namjoon's face, it seems that his annoyance has been replaced by concern.
Jungkook moved backwards and let Hoseok hold Jimin, Hoseok places both of his hands on the younger's shoulder.
"Who cried?" Taehyung came in the scene, he stood behind Hoseok and his eyes found Jimin's. The smaller expected Yoongi to be there as well, but sadly he's not.
"Is it my fault? Did I do something wrong last night?" Jimin can't help but to roll his eyes.
"My fault then." Taehyung concluded.
"Good thing you know." Jimin shifted his gaze to Jungkook and it seems hard for the smaller to point out if he was joking or not.
"Were you saying something, Jungkook-ah?" Taehyung asked curiously, Jungkook stared at Jimin instead and smiled.
"Nothing." He answered, is Taehyung just being teased? Jimin asked internally, "I did not say anything." He added before tearing his gaze from Jimin.
"Going back," Taehyung trailed off, "Jimin, I'm sorry if I did something or said something badㅡ"
"It's not your fault." Namjoon cut him off, "One more thing," He starts and looks at the smaller with straight face. Jimin would've believed that he care but he always manage to change Jimin's mind. In short, he really doesn't care. "Can y'all stop treating him like a child who doesn't know anything. He's a grown man." Namjoon spat shooting daggers at Jimin.
"Namjoon-hyung," Jungkook warned.
"Stop it, Joon. You are really stupid." Hoseok said pointing his index finger at Namjoon, Hoseok then worriedly looked at Jimin.
"His conscience is the exact opposite of his IQ so don't listen to him." Jimin smiled a little at Hoseok and nodded his head, Namjoon only rolled his eyes. Jimin was shocked when Jungkook grabbed his arm, he gazes back at him with a confused look.
"I'll take to your class." Jungkook told the smaller male.
Jimin turn his gaze towards the other three. Hoseok is still smiling at him while Taehyung is looking at Jungkook, lastly one of Jimin's most hated person in the world is looking at him, he can't read his face, Namjoon is looking at him emotionless which makes him wonders what's going on inside Namjoon's head thus he need to be careful around him. Jimin doesn't understand why he always find himself looking at him when he's aware he should avoid doing that.
Jungkook pulled Jimin and the smaller tear his gaze from them. Jungkook places his arm around Jimin's shoulder and the older smiled. They walked quietly while there was still a smile playing on Jimin's lips.
"Don't take Namjoon's words seriously." A frown sprung on the smaller's face upon mentioning the latter's name.
"What's with the frown?" Jungkook asked amused, Jimin rolled his eyes.
"Oh, sassy." Jungkook teases, Jimin looked at him uninterested, Jungkook smiled at him foolishly. Jimin averted his gaze, only stopping in his track when he heard Jungkook yelp, he whipped his head and found Jungkook almost fell over the ground, tripping over his own feet.
Jimin bit his lower lip. He wanted to laugh out loud but he can't afford to get caught. Jungkook composes himself and presses his fingertips on his forehead with his eyes shut tightly.
"God, that was embarrassing." Jimin wanted to make fun of him badly. Jungkook finally look over him, Jimin responded him with a big ass smile, Jungkook sighs again and pressed his eyes closed.
Jimin typed, "Don't worry, No one else saw, it's just me." Jimin reached out for his shirt and gave it a few tugs, Jungkook spares him a glance and the smaller quickly showed his phone.
"That's it, it's you." He said in a low tone before walking past the smaller, as if it his own class he was heading to. Jimin chuckle, does that mean Jungkook reacted that way because he was ashamed of me?Jimin looked at Jungkook's back and open his mouth.
"Wait—" Jimin blinked his eyes in surprise, he almost shouted at him. Jimin was taken aback by his stupidity.
Jimin chased him afterwards and reached for his arm, wrapping his hand there. Jimin saw him pouting with his brows furrowed, Jimin shook his head and walked with him and thought Jungkook is cute when he's annoyed.
"I'm going," Jungkook said his goodbye.
"What's with that smile?" Jungkook asked and Jimin pretended to think, he heard Jungkook hisses childishly and Jimin instantly drop the act and smiled.
"Better forget what happened, bye." Jimin gave him a small nod and thumbs up. Abruptly, Jungkook laughed at him.
"That's cute." He mumbled, then waved his hand and turned his back on the smaller. Jimin placed his hand over his chest eyes glued on the taller male.

Jimin was putting his belongings inside his bag when heard Hoseok's voice. "Jimin-ah," He called out, he was standing at the door. The other students who are still inside are now looking in his direction. He smiled at them, bowing his head a little, soon after Jimin heard high pitch screams and whispers, Jimin snorted, it was just a mere smile.
"Jungkook told me to pick you up, he was in the field with Tae." Jimin used his fingertip and trace a big question mark over his imaginary board.
"No questions please, just come along." He said with mixed jokes. Jimin gave him thumbs up, giving up easily, and hurriedly slipped my notes inside my sling bag.
They spot them immediately, both were sitting next to each other while they watch the football players, it's not a real game, they were just practicing. Jimin could hear their laughter even from a far though he could not understand what they were saying he knew, they were roasting the players because the tone of their laughter seemed to be criticizing.
Jimin drop his bag and sat there, leaving a little distance from where Jungkook was sitting. Jungkook looked at him acknowledging his presence.
Jimin is sitting with his legs stretched out, while his hands are leaning on the ground. Jimin looked up because it felt so refreshing. Jimin have never hung out here, because it is embarrassing when you are alone, at least for him.
Also, he'd rather hang out in the garden but with Jungkook, it's okay, as long as he's with him, he's fine with that. Jimin want to laugh at himself who would have thought he would think like this?
He stiffened when he felt Jungkook rest his head on his lap. Jimin lowered his gaze and noticed that his eyes were closed. Jimin looked at Taehyung, he was looking at Jungkook with his mouth hanging open, as if he was surprised by what Jungkook did.
He averted his gaze from them and whispered something to Hoseok. They noticed that Jimin was looking at the two of them hence they immediately averted their eyes. Hoseok pretended that he was pointing at something that Taehyung looked at quickly.
"Hoseok-hyung, lets grab something to drink, yeah?" Taehyung suddenly broke their silence.
"I was thinking about that too, Jimin-ah, what drink do you want?" Jimin shook his head no.
"Banana milk." Jimin turned his gaze back to Jungkook as he spoke. He was looking at them with his one eye opened.
"How about just come along with us?" Hoseok suggested.
"Nah, I'm comfortable here." Jungkook replied eyes now completely shut.
When the two of them left, Jimin silently observed his gentle face. Jimin noticed the mole on his nose, he wanted to boop where the mole was, he smiled sheepishly, cute. He also noticed his other mole that was under his lips, not gonna lie, it's quite sexy to look at.
"I had too much alcohol last night thus my head still hurts." Jungkook murmured softly. Jimin suddenly felt bad and started brushing his hair, soothing his headache but he immediately took it back. Jimin himself was surprised by the way he acted.
"Don't stop," Jungkook said. Jimin relaxes as soon as it slips out of his mouth and carefully ran back his fingers through Jungkook's hair.
"You're good at this." Jimin smiled as he saw him smiling and they stayed like that.
"Guys!"
That caught their attention, Jimin lifted his head and saw Taehyung running at fast pace carrying a plastic bag, with Hoseok following him from behind.
"Be ready for an attack!" What is he saying? Jimin quickly spare Jungkook a glance as he moved to sit.
"Really, crazy." Jungkook muttered before he shoved Jimin, causing the smaller to lie down against the grass and positioned himself on top of him, Jimin is utterly confused, what is happening? He is looking at Jungkook with eyes wide. Suddenly Taehyung jumped on Jungkook's back followed by Hoseok, Jimin look at the sides and noticed Jungkook's elbow resting on the ground on either side of his head, his veins in his arms are showing, Jimin mentally slap himself and tried to focus.
He looked at Jungkook again, he had his eyes pressed, he was smiling, preventing himself from putting his weight on the older but he seemed to be struggling with the weight of the two so he fell in the end. Jimin instantly placed his hands over Jungkook's chest, and felt his heart stops for a moment when Jungkook's lips brushes Jimin's cheek lightly, Jimin quickly tilt his head to the side.
Now his heart is thumping loudly as Jungkook's body pressed against him, Jimin closed his eyes, what if he notices the beating of his heart? What if he finds out Jimin like him? Jimin want to push him off him, He shouldn't know, I don't know maybe soon or never. I'm still not sure how I feel. I mean I like him but that's it.
Jimin heard the other two laugh, he suddenly felt lighter, Jungkook pulled himself away from him and Jimin opened his eyes. He lay down next to Jimin and then he turned to look at him with a grin.
"Sorry for that, Jimin-hyung, they are stupid." He said to him, then he smiled broadly while looking at the sky.
Jimin immediately looked down at his lips, he suddenly blushed, he remembered the touch of Jungkook's lips on his cheek, wondering if Jungkook did notice? Jimin suddenly averted his eyes from Jungkook.
"Oh, really!" Jimin looked at the sound and saw Taehyung sitting on top of Hoseok as he tickle him.
"Taehyung, please sto—" He couldn't continue what he was saying as Taehyung continue to tickle him on his sides.
"Get used to it," Jungkook said suddenly, Jimin curiously glanced over him, "Because you'll be hanging out with us more often." He added, Jimin smiled softly in return before looking back at the two.
Jimin said before that he's contented even though he's alone, that he's better off without anyone, even if he doesn't show or admit it, Jimin can't deny that he's happy with their company, Jimin smiled faintly.
I told myself to guard my heart, not to be attached to someone or something that would cause me pain. As I think about it, not everyone is all here to hurt me in the end, like my older brother.
Also, every goodbye doesn't only mean pain right? You can say goodbye to each other properly, you can spend time together and build happy memories before you part ways, even if I get hurt at least I prepared myself enough when it comes and I can always move forward, especially when Jungkook, return to the states.
Anyway, not all good things last forever, just memories.
Jimin slowly look over Jungkook.
It's just funny that I t realized all of these, when I met Jungkook. He was able to make me understand that in a short period of time I was with him. He's the first person that made me feel this way, that someone out there truly care and change my perspective,
unintentionally.
