Jimin watched the moving truck park. He thought he would be getting a neighbor soon, but he didn't think it would be that quick. His old neighbor just moved out, and anyone who's able to buy these houses must have some money. He wondered who it would be, as he looked out the window to inspect. He bit at the end of his pencil, getting distracted from his studies.

He watched the movers help carry in many boxes, and another person trying desperately to help, but the workers only giving him lighter things to carry. Jimin thought it was cute, and laughed a little before spitting out his pencil.

He watched the movers empty the truck, and the person, Jimin assumed it was his new neighbor, pay them before entering his house. He sighed heavily. He would have to give him a welcoming gift. That was something his mother had taught him, and his mother would be most disappointed if he didn't live up to that.

He thought about what he should make. Something sweet was always nice. But maybe he wanted dinner? Moving always means takeout food for a tiny bit. Ah, no, but something sweet will last longer. Cookies? Cake? Brownies? Jimin got lost in thought, before seeing the light turn on in the bedroom, grabbing his attention. He saw the blinds open and he made eye contact with the...young man he could decipher now.

Jimin gave a smile and a small wave, pencil in hand, his neighbor looking stunned.

Jimin watched him blink a couple of times before giving a small, weak smile and closing the blinds.

Jimin laughed to himself before shaking his head. "How odd. Cute though." Jimin went back to his homework, thinking about what the cute boy might like to eat. Maybe just cookies. Those are always good. Easy to eat, and who doesn't love a chocolate cookie?

Jimin decided he would do it tomorrow.

____

Jimin heard the neighbor set up his house and room the whole night.

____

Jimin started to bake the cookies, making sure he wouldn't be too late to give them to him. He had finished his yoga class at noon, sending everyone home, before getting started on the baking. Jimin played music, mixed everything together, poured out the batter on a cookie sheet, and put them in the oven.

He stretched out again before reading his book for school. He was lucky he could work as a yoga instructor and go to school. A little bit of side money, and a lot of education. He wondered what his neighbor was doing. He looked young, but the college here wasn't at a time to accept students. A new year hadn't started. Jimin wondered about him again.

He let the cookies cool a tad bit before putting them on a plate and covering them. He took a deep breath before heading over to his neighbors house.

He knocked and waited.

The door opened and Jimin saw the young man from yesterday.

"O-oh hello." He smiled, and Jimin smiled wide. He was so cute! From his one glance, he wore all black, all baggy clothes. His hair was long and in his eyes, he kept moving it out of the way but it kept going right back in place.

"Hello! I saw that you moved in and I wanted to give you a welcoming gift!" Jimin smiled, his eyes turning into crescents as he outstretched his arms to give his gift.

"O-oh thank you so much." He took the cookies and bowed before gulping audibly. "I'll be sure to gift something back as well."

"Oh it's not a problem. If you ever need someone to talk to or anything, just come by. I'm the house to your left. I'm Park Jimin." Jimin smiled as he watched Jungkook look him up and down again, before blushing red.

He was still wearing his yoga clothes. A thin muscle shirt and leggings. "Thank you. I'm...Jeon Jungkook."

"What a nice name. Well, I've gotta go, but you're welcome anytime." Jimin gave one last smile before turning to leave.

"Thank you."

"No problem!"

____

Jungkook felt absolutely, terribly embarrassed.  Opening his blinds to the cutest boy he had ever seen in his life, only to awkwardly smile and close the blinds. And as if he wasn't burned with embarrassment already, said cute boy went to his house to give him the most delicious cookies, but for some reason was wearing leggings and an almost see through shirt that exposed his oh so toned arm muscles.

Jungkook had never been more awkward in his life. Park Jimin didn't even seem to mind, but oh god was this going to scar Jungkook. He knew these moments would be the ones he would suddenly think about in a couple years and feel embarrassed all over again.

He set up the rest of his computer room, happy to be able to start playing and recording his gameplay again. Being a YouTuber was a difficult choice to make, but he knew it made him happy and that his channel was growing.

He hadn't really fixed up his kitchen yet, but that was fine. Takeout food was always acceptable. Plus...well...he ate quite a lot of the cookies.

Jungkook took a shower before going to his room, towel on his hair, towel around his waist. He rummaged through his drawers before rolling his eyes and looking through his boxes on the floor.

He was embarrassed for the second time that day when he heard a quiet "oh!" and tried to locate the voice. He looked over to see his blinds and window wide open, and Jimin's as well. Jungkook felt himself go red as he hurriedly closed his blinds and heard Jimin laugh.

"It's okay! Just pretend I didn't see anything!" Jimin laughed as he spoke, Jungkook blushing red and getting dressed.

He contemplated everything. He forgot he had the blinds and window open, since it was closing in on summer. He carefully raised the blinds and sighed. "I'm so sorry."

"No no, it's not a problem." Jungkook watched Jimin lean on his windowsill, musing at Jungkook. "I don't mind at all."

Jungkook looked down with a harsh blush. His cheeks burned. "Y...your baking is really good."

Jimin laughed, Jungkook feeling his chest hurt and his stomach flutter. "Thank you. I'll be sure to give you more treats."

Jungkook didn't dare look up. He could hear Jimin's smile, and it made him heat up even more. "T-there's...there's no need."

"Oh, but if you enjoy it so much, then why shouldn't I? Anything to get you more comfortable. Being new can he hard." Jimin pouted his words out, Jungkook completely embarrassed.

"Well...I'm sure I'll be just fine."

"Aw~ why are you so embarrassed? You didn't do anything wrong, no?"

"I...I...my first impression...and I was...naked...that's pretty much a bad first impression..." Jungkook nearly whispered, but Jimin seemed to understand him.

"Oh, I don't mind that. Your face was quite cute."

Jungkook's eyes widened at the compliment. "That's...thats..."

"Yes?"

"Never mind."

"No no...say what you want to say."

"I should really get to bed. It's been a tiring day. Good...goodnight..."

"Goodnight Jungkook. Sleep well." Jungkook could hear the smile laced into his words. Jungkook carefully pulled the blinds down and closed them, leaving the window open. It was still pretty warm.

____

Jimin spent his next day daydreaming. He wanted to see Jungkook again. His proportions were gorgeous. What every dancer would want to be. Thin waist, long legs, wide shoulders...wow. Jungkook really was blessed. His scent was also quite nice. Not an overwhelming alpha scent.

Jimin wondered if Jungkook would want to go grocery shopping with him, but he decided that it would be best to give the poor boy a day off. He was so red and cute, hanging his head and hiding his face. Jimin couldn't help but smile at the thought. Just simple flirting made Jungkook like that. God he really was pretty.

Jimin stretched out his limbs, giving up on his studies at the moment. He stood and stretched out his arms, then brought his legs up one at a time like a cheerleader, before going down and bending himself in half. It felt good to stretch out. Jimin also...kinda wished Jungkook could see him, before shaking his head and getting rid of such a thought. Why would he think that? He's new and cute, yes, but there was no need for Jungkook to have the information that he's flexible. What would he even do with it?

____

Jungkook held his mouth shut as he sat on his bed. Why...why did he keep seeing Jimin in odd situations? He was going to raise his blinds and let some air in, but the moment he looked through them there was Jimin...stretching...oh god he was flexible. Jungkook felt like a stalker. Who designed these houses? Why were the bedroom windows facing each other? Why were the bedrooms so close together?

Jungkook shook his head and calmed himself before getting ready to record a video.

____

Jungkook stretched out after a long session. He really needed that, it helped him get Jimin off his mind for a while. He went down to the living room and started to unpack some more things, but ended up just ordering food again. He wondered what he should gift Jimin for his kindness. Ah...there he was again. He didn't seem to leave Jungkook's mind. Jungkook also didn't know why he didn't leave his mind.

He started to unpack some stuff in the kitchen before hearing the doorbell. He opened it only to see Jimin. "Oh." Jungkook was taken aback. His food would've been too soon. "He...hello Jimin." Jungkook bowed a little.

"Hello. I realized that I accidentally made too much food for myself. Would you like the rest?" Jimin handed out a container, Jungkook taking it.

"Thank you. Wait, let me give you back your plate from yesterday." Jungkook held up a finger before running to go find the plate. He knew he washed it, but he must've accidentally put it in one of the cupboards. He turned to see Jimin waiting patiently, looking in his house a little bit. Jungkook finally found it and brought it back to Jimin. "Sorry about that."

"Oh that's not a problem. You've still got a lot of boxes in there."

"Oh...yeah." Jungkook pursed his lips as Jimin looked at him, then smiled.

"Well...thank you." Jimin took the plate. "If you ever want help I wouldn't mind."

"That's okay. I've got a couple friends coming over tomorrow to help me." Jungkook smiled nervously.

"What kind of sweets do they like?" Jimin gave a sweet smile, and Jungkook felt himself blush slightly.

"They'll eat anything."

"Then maybe I'll make something and bring it by."

"There's no need to."

"I want to." Jimin gave a small pout.

"Okay...then I don't see a problem with that." Jungkook smiled a little, but looked down.

"Then I'll see you tomorrow?"

"Y-yeah. That sounds nice." Jungkook watched his feet turn and walk away, and he closed the door.

He certainly was cursed.

____

Jungkook smiled as he let his friends in his new house.

"Woah. It's huge!" Hoseok walked in and admired the place.

"I know! I'm really excited to see what you'll do with it Jungkook." Yoongi grinned at Hoseok's excitement.

"And not to mention that you picked a really quiet neighborhood." Namjoon walked in last. "What made you want that?"

"Ah...well...a new start. A lot of my viewers ended up knowing where I lived, and I really didn't like that. Plus, the quiet atmosphere helps me think." Jungkook grinned as they all looked around.

"Lots to do."

"Yeah. I really only set up my workroom. Namjoon hyung, will you help me in the living room? Yoongi hyung and Hoseok hyung, you guys wont break anything in the kitchen, right?" Jungkook asked sweetly, before putting on some music for them to work to. They laughed and talked.

"So...this new neighbor of yours...you said he's coming over today?"

"Ah, right. He wants to give something sweet."

"And this is the same neighbor you texted us about, yes?"

Jungkook groaned. "Yes."

"Then we'll be happy to meet him." Hoseok grinned as they finished up the kitchen.

"Please don't embarrass me." Jungkook helped Namjoon set up his tv.

"Aww, we would never." Yoongi laughed a little.

"Please don't invite him inside."

"But that's the polite thing to do!" Namjoon looked at Jungkook with wide eyes. "You didn't invite him inside?"

"N...no..."

"Jungkook! You should invite him in!" Namjoon shook his head. "I thought you were a gentleman."

"I am one hyung! I'm just..."

"We know you're shy, but come on. It's a new start. New people."

"I'm just not good with new people."

"Well it seems like he is. So let him in."

"He's so..."

"Aish." Yoongi shook his head. "You're just being stubborn now Jungkook."

"I'm sorry. I'm just...it's hard to be normal around him. I'm already so embarrassed." Jungkook shook his head and blushed a bit, finishing hooking up his tv. He did some settings, and then turned it off.

"Well, what's next?" Hoseok gave a small smile.

"A break, I'm certain." Yoongi gave a thin smile.

"Sure. I have some left over takeout food. I didn't have much of it yesterday. I don't have much food otherwise...just some like, protein bars."

"Ew. Since when are you so healthy? I thought you had a sweet tooth."

"Oh I do. But that's all I could pack on the ro-" Jungkook heard a knock on the door. "The road. Let me get that." Jungkook took a breath before going to the door and opening it, Jimin on his doorstep with a smile and a batch of brownies.

"Good afternoon Jungkook." He smiled and rocked on his feet. "I brought enough for your friends too."

"Thank...thank you. You really didn't have to." Jungkook took the plate, looking down to the ground from Jimin's face.

"Invite him in!" Jungkook hear Namjoon yell from inside, making him blush.

"Oh?" Jimin tilted his head.

"Y...yeah. My friends would like to meet you. Only if you're okay with that, I don't want to-"

"I would love to meet them." Jimin smiled but Jungkook kept his eyes down.

"Then come on in." He opened the door wider for Jimin, letting him pass and go inside before closing the door. He set the plate on the coffee table as they all gathered around, Yoongi and Hoseok having heated up some food for the four of them.

"Sorry we didn't have more."

"Oh that's alright. I'm on a certain diet." Jimin waved a hand to dismiss their unease.

"We've heard a little about you." Namjoon smiled. "I'm Kim Namjoon."

"Nice to meet you. I'm Park Jimin." Jimin smiled and Jungkook ate a brownie to avoid having to talk.

"I'm Jung Hoseok, and this is Min Yoongi. Nice to meet you." Hoseok smiled wide, Jimin returning the favor.

"It's nice to meet you too."

"So what do you do to live in such a nice place?"

"Oh, I'm a yoga instructor. I'm still in school though, but many people like to be taught by someone young. It's quite fun, I would recommend it."

"Yeah Jungkook, that sounds like fun." Yoongi nudged him, Jungkook giving wide eyes full of fear.

"Oh! That's such a marvelous idea! Jungkook, you should come to one of my lessons." Jimin clapped his hands together and smiled.

"Yeah, you should." Hoseok chuckled. "It would be cool." He ate one of the brownies before choking on it. "Hey, that's really good!"

"You think so? Thank you!" Jimin smiled at the praise. Jungkook nodded, Jimin noticing. Jimin ran a hand through his hair. "You like it too Jungkook?"

"Yeah...they're good..." Jungkook felt his voice go quiet.

Jimin giggled. "I'm glad. Well...as much as I'd like to say, I've got to study for school."

"You sure you don't want to help?" Namjoon smiled as he saw Jungkook's cheeks become pink. "We could use some extra hands."

"I would love to, but if I don't study tonight I don't know when I will." Jimin smiled happily before standing up and bowing to them. "Thank you for letting me in. Enjoy the brownies!" And with that, Jimin left the house.

"Jungkook...you're so incredibly awkward."

"I just don't know what to say to him. He's so...pretty. I just kinda get lost in thought."

"Jesus christ that's so gay." Hoseok huffed. "Maybe don't ignore his flirtatious attitude towards you next time. Accept it. That's what Yoongi did."

"Well...I'm not an idiot. I can tell when someone's flirting with me, unlike you." Yoongi pointed at Hoseok.

"Hey, that was my bad. I didn't think an actual cute guy would be into me."

Namjoon shook his head. "Either way Jungkook...he seemed nice. I'm glad he's your neighbor. Maybe take his offer."

"I dunno...I just...he's so...pretty..." Jungkook yearned, Namjoon shaking his head again.

"Then...get to know him."

"Easy for you to say. You're just naturally charming. Just your smile is enough to convince someone to want to exist with you." Jungkook shook his head. "I don't know about me."

"You're charming Jungkook. You're cute, and kind, and you have a lot more going for you than you know."

"Well Jimin's those things too."

"Yeah, but in different ways."

"Eh...true."

"Well...do you want help with the rest of your house?"

"Yeah. Let's do that."

____

Jungkook made sure his blinds were down before going into his room to get clothes on. He finally moved his clothes to his dresser. The others had gone home, and Jungkook was tired. Moving was a lot of work.

He overheated almost immediately and decided maybe since it was so late Jimin wouldn't be up. He raised his blinds to open his window just to see Jimin studying at his desk, lamp on.

"H-hey. What're you doing up so late?" Jungkook cautiously asked, leaning out his window a bit.

Jimin looked at him with wide, tired eyes. "Oh? Oh. I didn't even realize how late it's gotten." Jimin gave a small laugh, but Jungkook saw through it.

"Don't overwork yourself. Thank you for coming over today. It was really nice."

"It was nice to meet your friends." Jimin put his pencil down and went to the window, leaning out of it too.

Jungkook smiled a little. "They're all very kind."

"Did they make you invite me in?" Jimin smiled, but again, Jungkook could see through it. He looked really tired.

"Yes, but I wanted you inside anyways." Jungkook gulped audibly, making Jimin laugh.

"That's cute." He smiled a real smile this time, easing Jungkook. "I'm glad."

"Well...you've been nothing but kind to me. Even though I've already embarrassed myself in front of you."

"Ah...that wasn't embarrassing for me. You're quite stunning."

Jungkook blushed and looked down. "It's still embarrassing. But all I'm saying is...thank you. For being kind."

"Of course. That's what neighbors should do."

"But you're the only neighbor who has reached out to me." Jungkook looked up again.

"Then they should feel shame. You said you don't have any food, right? I have to go grocery shopping tomorrow. Would you like to tag along?" Jimin smiled earnestly, Jungkook wondering how his cheeks didn't hurt from smiling so much.

"That...sounds like a very kind offer. When would you want to go?"

"In the morning. When do you wake up?"

"Preferably at 10."

"How about 9?"

"Leave at 9?

"Mmm...leave at 9:30."

"Sure." Jungkook let out a small breath.

"Perfect. Then I'll see you then."

"Thank you Jimin. Now please...get some rest. Studying too much will fry your brain."

Jimin gave a short laugh. "I don't see you studying."

"I don't go to school."

"Oh?"

Jungkook nodded. "Goodnight."

Jimin laughed a little. "Goodnight Jungkook."

____

Jimin excitedly got up and dressed, wanting to look good for Jungkook. Maybe he could get him to stare again, that would be nice. By the time he was ready to go, he heard Jungkook's alarm. God was it loud.

It was nice to see Jungkook's window open all the time, since his was too. It was nice to see Jungkook all the time.

He heard Jungkook and looked over, to see him running around the room before leaning out the window and blushing hard.

"G-good morning. I got up a tad bit late." Jungkook looked down, pursing his lips.

Jimin laughed. "That's alright. I don't mind waiting a little bit. Plus you're cute when you blush, so how could I say no to that?"

"Ah." Jungkook blushed more. "I'm not sure if that's a compliment."

"Well...I'm trying to flirt with you."

"Oh." Jungkook licked his lips before staring at the ground intensely.

Jimin laughed. "You aren't used to that?"

"No...I'm a stay at home kind of person."

"Ah. That adds up. Now come on, we have food to get." Jimin smiled before raising an eyebrow. "Okay?"

"Okay." Jungkook nodded before leaving Jimin's sight. Jimin put on a little bit of lip gloss before heading down to get his grocery list.

He put on his shoes and went outside, waiting for Jungkook.

He saw Jungkook hurry out of his front door, locking it behind him and meeting Jimin on the sidewalk. "Sorry about that."

"There's no need to apologize." Jimin looked him up and down. "You look good." He started to walk, Jungkook following.

Jungkook looked shocked. "You have lipgloss on."

"Is that a problem?" Jimin raised an eyebrow.

"N-no, not at all." Jungkook blushed and looked down.

Jimin laughed. "What's wrong?"

"Nothings wrong at all." Jungkook swallowed his saliva, making Jimin laugh again.

"Jungkook~ there's no need to lie."

"I'm not lying."

Jimin looked him over and decided not to push it. "...well...then would you like to come over tomorrow for my yoga class? Free of charge."

"I've never done yoga before. I don't even think I'm that flexible."

"It's for everyone. Eases the mind, strengthens your muscles."

"I think I'm pretty strong already."

"Other kinda of strength as well."

"Such as?"

"Confidence. I've seen so many people grow and become a calmer, more confident person because of yoga. It's really helpful." Jimin mused over the idea. "I love watching people grow."

"I think I'm fairly calm...but confidence...ah, I'm just nervous." Jungkook laughed a little, Jimin giving a small pout.

"Why?"

"It takes a lot for me to open up."

"That's fair. I like people, so it's easier said then done to just, open up. But, why are you nervous around me?" Jimin gave a sly smile.

Jungkook huffed. "Cause. I'm new to people like you."

"Oh, please elaborate."

"You know...people who flirt like you. Like, people who are so comfortable with themselves that they can be outwardly themselves too."

"So you're saying you're not outwardly you?"

"Half. I mean, my friends have known me for a long time. So I'm comfortable around them."

"Well I hope that one day you'll be comfortable with me too." Jimin spoke softly.

"Me too." Jungkook smiled a little, Jimin turning his head to him and with a surprised expression.

"Yeah?"

"Yeah. I do."

Jimin gave him another look. "I have a feeling there's something else to it, but I won't push it." Jimin turned his attention back to his walking, taking them into a nearby store. "What about school? You said you aren't studying?"

"Oh no. I didn't want to continue school."

"Then what do you do? Plans, goals, anything?" Jimin questioned, the two going around the store and picking things out for the both of them.

"I'm a Youtuber." Jungkook gave a weak laugh.

"That's so cool! If you're doing well enough to get this kind of house than that's amazing."

"T-thank you. I'm hoping it'll continue to work out in my favor."

"What do you play?"

"Overwatch mostly, but a bit of other games with friends as well. I know, it sounds boring."

"No, it sounds nice. It sounds fun." Jimin smiled.

"It is fun. What um...what do you do for fun?"

"Fun? Mm. I'll go out with my friends occasionally. Bettering my yoga is also fun."

"Friends is good. But what about...fun?"

"Example?"

"Like, going skiing, painting, going to movies, stuff like that."

"Ah..." Jimin thought about it. "No. Not really. I'm too busy. Plus my friends are also busy."

"Aw. That's kinda sad. Maybe we can do something together." Jungkook thought aloud, before blushing and sputtering out his words. "I mean only if you'd want to, I don't wanna assume-"

"I'd love to." Jimin cut him off. "I would love to have fun with you."

"R-really?" Jungkook looked at him with a small smile.

Jimin nodded. "Of course. I believe in fate."

"What do you mean by that?" Jungkook gave a wider smile, curious.

"I mean, you must've moved here for a reason, and became my neighbor for a reason. Just like how my best friend and I met for a reason. People become part of others lives for a reason. It's either a long lasting relationship, or a long lasting lesson."

"That's...really deep. You would get along with my hyung."

"Oh, which one?" Jimin smiled at Jungkook's casualness. He was getting used to Jimin.

"My oldest one. He was the one wearing overalls."

"Oh, the one who made you let me in?"

Jungkook laughed. "Yeah, him."

"It was nice to meet them, even just for a tiny bit."

"You really did schoolwork as soon as you got home?"

"Well...yeah."

"And then up late?"

"Yeah..."

"How often do you do that?"

"That's not your concern. If the light bothers you, I'll close my blinds." Jimin watched Jungkook's expressions. He couldn't quite read them.

"...if you do so much yoga, you should know a lot about your body. You need to rest to recharge."

"I sleep enough."

"I mean rest as well. Taking a day off."

"Oh. I don't really take days off."

Jungkook furrowed his eyebrows. They finished shopping, and payed, before making their way back home.

"Then you're right. Maybe I did come here for a reason. I'll make sure you take at least one off day in the week. Just one day."

Jimin eyed him. "What are you suggesting?"

"Come...come over." Jungkook gulped before coughing to try and clear his throat. "And uh. I dunno. We'll do something."

Jimin laughed at his attempt. "Sure. That sounds nice."

"Yeah?"

"Yeah." Jimin smiled. "As long as it's with you."

"Y-yeah? With me?"

Jimin nodded and leaned his way. "With you."

"I- I um...I've never dated anyone before. I'm not sure what you're a-aiming for, but my hyungs told me- told me that you were flirting, and I just- I just don't know..." Jungkook finally got his words out, Jimin knowing that he had been trying to find those words all day.

"Jungkook. It's okay. I'm not forcing you to do anything you don't want to." Jimin smiled softly. "I just think you're really cute, and I want to make you comfortable."

"That's...thats all?"

Jimin looked at Jungkook's expressions again. A slight sadness. "I'd love to get to know you before I consider dating you."

"Oh- oh. I assumed- I'm sorry, I assumed- that's my bad- I- I didn't mean-"

Jimin laughed loudly, throwing his head back. "You're ridiculous. Hey wait, I just noticed you're carrying more bags then me. Give me one."

"What? No, I bought more things than you, they're my bags to carry."

"Are you being a goody two shoes?"

"What? I'm...I'm not..." Jungkook looked down and thought about it.

"Ha! You look cute like that. I mean, like...like an alpha does for their omega." Jimin pouted his lips. "Cause that's romantic."

"W-wait a minute-"

"Ah, we're home. I'll see you soon I'm guessing. Tell me what sweets you like, I'll be sure to make them." Jimin smiled before going inside his house, leaving Jungkook blushing on his doorstep.

____

Jungkook woke up to his alarm again, pouting as he rolled over. He curled up more, focusing on his warmth. He really wanted to sleep in, but he had a schedule to start. He'd let himself take a whole two week break since he had just moved, but well, now he had to start earning money again. He got up sleepily before he could fall back asleep, desperate for a nap already. Instead he got some clothes on to go for a run, wanting to figure out the new neighborhood and getting his heart rate up.

As he ran, he listened to music, giving small waves to the people who waved to him first. God who else would want to be out this early.

By the time he got back, he was already tired. But, he did his workout anyways, and then took a shower. It was still early, so he went to take his nap.

____

He woke up to the sound of a thud. He sat up quickly, hoping it hadn't gotten too late. Instead, he saw a stuffed animal, probably weighted by beans, on his floor. A frog, looking up at him.

Jungkook got up to pick him up, looking out his window.

"Good morning sleepy head. In an hour, I've got a yoga class. Are you considering it?..."

"I'm pretty tired...I'm not sure...plus I have to record something today."

"You don't have to of course. But if you do want to, just come over before the hour starts. And comfortable clothes that won't get in your way." Jimin winked and ran a hand through his hair before turning and walking away, Jungkook feeling slight shame for looking at his legs.

He turned the frog over in his hands, seeing a paper on it as well. Jimin's number. God, Jungkook really was easy. He put the number in his phone and texted Jimin.

"How long will a class take?"

"About an hour and a half. I'm a busy man."

"I see."

Jungkook thought about it more. He would still be able to record for the day, and he would have enough time to edit it as well. And it would be nice to be with Jimin...but...people...

"It's really okay if you don't want to." Jimin texted him again. "There's gonna be a bit of people there."

"Maybe next time?"

"Only if you want to."

Jungkook let out a breath he was holding. He kinda felt bad. Yoga would probably be good for him. It would ease some tension. But people...and Jimin in tight clothes...maybe it was a good idea not to go. But then again...it would be a new start. Add something new to his life. Adding Jimin to his life.

He took a shaky breath before changing his clothes to more comfortable, tight workout clothes. He got Jimin's container from the previous day, and went next door.

Jimin opened it, smiling wide. "You know, you've got a nice scent. Come on in." Jimin opened the door for him, closing it behind him.

"I brought your dish back."

"Oh, thank you. How very kind of you." Jimin purred his words, Jungkook blushing slightly.

"Of- of course." He took in Jimin, his eyes lingering too long on his legs before looking down entirely.

He heard Jimin laugh a little. "There's no shame in looking."

"I shouldn't. That's rude."

"I dress how I want people to see me. And if I dressed to be looked at, then I should be looked at."

"You're something else." Jungkook laughed nervously.

Jimin took the plate from Jungkook, Jungkook unsure to follow him or stay put. He decided to stay put. When Jimin came back to him, he took his hand and led him to his living room. There was only one couch, the living room opening up to the dinning room which didn't have anything in it. It was obviously modified so that Jimin could have people over for yoga.

"You look good. You always wear baggy clothes, so I thought maybe you were just insecure, but I see there's nothing to be insecure about." Jimin smiled lovingly, Jungkook looking up at him quickly.

"Am I wearing too tight clothes?"

"Hm? Oh no, not at all. They're mostly ladies here, and a couple omega males as well. Mostly omegas in general. But you're a nice boy, I'm sure you won't scare them."

"M-mostly omegas huh..."

"Nervous?" Jimin giggled, making Jungkook look away from him, not wanting his face to heat up. "Aw, why do you always look away? You're so adorable."

"I'm not- I'm not adorable."

"Sure you are. You get all red and flushed just from me looking at you." Jimin leaned in closer, Jungkook seeing his hands move closer to his thighs.

"J-Jimin-" Jungkook looked up at him, seeing Jimin's smile.

"Yes?"

"What-"

They both heard a doorbell, Jimin smiling wider. "My class will start soon. We can finish this conversation after." He stood to get the door, calling out behind him. "Okay?"

Jungkook watched him go, suddenly realizing that he'd have to be around a lot of people, that Jimin would be absolutely beautiful, and that he didn't have a yoga mat. Jimin let a couple people in, bringing them to the living room.

"This is Jeon Jungkook. He's my neighbor, and I convinced him to join for today. Be kind. He's never done yoga before." Jimin smiled at Jungkook, giving him a nod.

"It's nice to meet you all."

By the time the class started Jungkook had decided everyone was there, Jungkook was given a yoga mat by Jimin somehow, and the people weren't so bad. They were nice, actually. What was bad was Jimin's stares directed at Jungkook, he assumed, Jimin's body, Jungkook's inability to do better and be more flexible, Jimin going around to help those keep a position, his hands lingering too long on Jungkook's hips, his hands barely touching anyone else, Jimin's stares, the way he would position his body for Jungkook to see too much, his easy tone of voice, and his stares. Oh god he looked at him too much.

How was he speaking? How was he not out of breath? He was holding each position so gracefully, so beautifully, so- Jungkook stared at the floor, ignoring his intruding thoughts. The class seemed to finally end, everyone stretching on their mats with Jimin, generally chatting and speaking. Jungkook sat there, catching his breath as he saw Jimin go around and give encouragement to those needing and high fives to those who wanted them, before making his way to Jungkook.

Jungkook blushed a tiny bit as Jimin sat on the mat with him, both doing the butterfly. "How was it?"

"You're a good teacher."

"Thank you." Jimin beamed. "I'm glad you were able to learn. Though your hips are low."

"Y-yeah. You held on to them for a while." Jungkook blushed slightly after saying it, but for once didn't look down. He saw Jimin smile with ease.

"They're nice hips. Quite small, really."

"Yours are too." Jungkook pouted a little. "All of you is small."

"Hey~ that's mean. And anyways, small looks good."

"On you it does. I like having more visible muscle. It makes people back off a bit."

Jimin laughed. "Well, it didn't make me back off."

"You must find it attractive then."

"Well, I most certainly do." Jimin waved goodbye to those leaving, leaving just a few people lingering. "How'd you like the people?"

"They were very nice. I mean...mostly middle aged women are...kind. You know...they ask questions though..."

"Oh yeah, like life questions. What career, family plans, all of those kind of questions. It's not fun." Jimin laughed. "But mostly I don't really talk about my life with them. You find ways to escape it." Jimin whispered, finally waving the last people goodbye. "God finally. Now where were we? You were going to say something."

"Oh- oh. Oh. Um, I don't remember. I'm tired." Jungkook blushed heavily, standing up quickly. "I should go- yeah, I've got stuff to do today-"

"Jungkook." Jimin started at him, and Jungkook felt a shiver down his spine. His easy going atmosphere was suddenly very serious, his kind smile gone into his intense stare.

Jungkook stared back, confused as to how he could do that. "What do you want from me?" Jungkook bit his bottom lip after saying it. This question had been on his mind since they went out to get groceries. What did Jimin think of him? The goal? What was it that he wanted?

Jimin stood up, taking Jungkook's hands. "I want you to find me intriguing. I want you to look at me longer, the way you stare at me before you look away. I want you to keep finding your weird excuses to see me. I want you to say good morning and goodnight to me. I want you to want to see me through the window, hoping we'll just have one glance, one smile, one interaction. I want you to want me just the way I want you."

Jungkook was dumbfounded. He'd seriously found all of those words so gracefully. "Did you practice that?"

Jimin looked taken aback before laughing. "That's what you have to say?" He laughed harder, making Jungkook blush hard.

"I- I'm sorry, I mean, I just...I've never been confessed to. And I thought you wanted to- I thought you wanted to get to know me first. Before dating."

"Then we should take that step. Don't you think?"

"Why do you even like me...?" Jungkook smiled sadly. "We don't...we don't know each other very well."

Jimin squeezed his hands. "We'll get to know each other. Beforehand. Before we decide to get serious. I want to know you." Jimin stared at him with his piercing seriousness.

Jungkook still felt uncertainty. "I just don't know. Being appreciated for my body...my looks, my Internet personality. I...I know you like my body and my looks, but I'm not like my Internet personality. I'm nothing like it. And I don't want you to-"

"I don't expect you to be perfect or excited all the time. I've seen you a little bit and I can already tell you're kind, and shy. But I want to know more. More than more. More than your best friends. I want to know you so well that I'll know what you're about to say, your reactions to my actions, everything." Jimin kept his confidence.

Jungkook couldn't help but smile a little. "I'm sorry. I'm just so uncertain."

"Then let me help you become certain. Let's hang out. Go on dates. Talk. Go for walks. Come over. Teach me some video games. I don't care." Jimin exhaled quickly. "Please."

"Please?"

"Don't give up on me. I have the urge to just be with you. To be admired by you. To be loved by you. To be cared for by you. I want you to feel the same, and I just...I haven't figured out how to do that. I keep reaching out to you, and you keep letting me in, but I never feel closer to you." Jimin started to let go of Jungkook's hands, but Jungkook grabbed on to them, tighter this time.

"I- I want to!" Jungkook exclaimed. "I- I really want to. I don't mean to push your feelings away or down, I really don't mean too. I'm just uncertain in myself and my ability to be a good boyfriend, so I don't want to put you through that. I don't want to date you if I'm just going to be insecure." Jungkook got his last words out before blushing.

"You're honest at least. Thank you. I can understand that. But can we please still get to know each other?"

"Sure." Jungkook smiled, easing Jimin. He suddenly let go of his hands, embarrassed all over again. "A- ah, I'm sorry."

"No, no, don't apologize. I like it."

"You're a physical person, aren't you."

"Yep." Jimin smiled happily. "What about you?"

"I like affection. But I think I'm a quality time kind of person. Oh shoot, speaking of, I've gotta go. I've got work today."

"Well...good thing it's still morning."

"Somehow."

"I'll text you probably Jungkook. Get home safe." Jimin joked, Jungkook laughing a tiny bit.

"Of course I will."

____

Jimin felt his head pound from his headache. He'd worked too much. Too much studying, too much reading, too much writing. Too much screen time. His whole head hurt. He looked at the time before groaning. He had to get up early tomorrow unless his hyung decided to cancel. But knowing Jin, he wouldn't. Taehyung would show up a little later, but the three were going to bake for the day, as a way to catch up. Jimin picked his head up and looked over to see Jungkook enter his room, turning on his light and doing stuff around the room.

Jimin hurriedly packed his things up. For some reason, whenever Jungkook worried about him he felt some shame. That when Jungkook tells him to take breaks that he must, when he tells him to go to bed that he has to, when he tells him to not overwork...that he has to listen. Jimin gasped, finally understanding.

He was listening to Jungkook's alpha commands. Even if they were simple. Oh god was Jimin head over heels for Jungkook.

"Jimin? What are you doing up?"

Jimin winced. He'd been too lost in thought and stopped cleaning up. Instead of getting out of sight of the window, he'd just stood there instead. Jimin laughed a little. "I...I was working."

"This late?"

"It's big project." Jimin went to the window to stare at Jungkook.

"Even if it's big, you shouldn't overwork yourself. You should sleep."

"You know, I was just about to. But someone so gorgeous decided to talk to me, so I can't deny that." Jimin decided to be flirtatious to hide his tiredness.

"Jimin...you really need sleep. You feel tired."

"Well, so do you. What were you doing up so late?"

"Finishing editing and uploading a video. It's my job, so it's not really- it's not like- I'm still taking care of myself. But you..." Jungkook looked like he wanted to reach out a hand, but he moving it to the windowsill instead. "But you don't."

"I take very good care of myself. I'm in tip top form."

"You're underweight, and skinny." Jungkook spoke clearly. "And I wish I could help you."

Jimin blushed from embarrassment and slight anger. "I am not. I'm exactly the weight I should be, and I'm thin. Not skinny. I don't have malnutrition."

"I didn't say you did. What I am saying is that you don't eat enough."

"So this has been on your mind?" Jimin smiled thinly.

"I...want you to care for yourself."

"And I do. Goodnight Jungkook."

"Goodnight Jimin..." Jungkook lingered a little before turning to go to his bed.

Jimin changed his clothes before going to his bed. He hated how easily Jungkook could see through his flirting and smiles.

____

Jimin woke up fairly early. His head still hurt a little bit, but it wasn't too bad. He got up, took a shower, dried off, before putting on an oversized sweater and some tight shorts. Absolute comfort. He went over to his desk, looking over some final things, brainstorming, before looking over at Jungkook's window. It was a daily thing. Actually, it was every time he was by his window. He always looked to see if Jungkook was there.

And this time, somehow, he was. It was early, but he was awake. Yet again, he was quite clothes-less. Jimin couldn't help but laugh, Jungkook hearing and exploding in color. He moved out of sight and got dressed before going to the window, still incredibly red.

"Why do you always seem to be looking when I'm in an embarrassing state?"

"Dunno. You've got a lot of muscles." Jimin smiled, leaning on the windowsill.

"You're very flexible."

"You like that?" Jimin curled his lips upward.

"I- I didn't mean- I mean- I just-"

Jimin laughed. "You're cute."

"Are you- are you free today?" Jungkook gulped a little.

"I'm going to be with my friends for the morning and afternoon, and at night I should study."

"So you can come over?"

Jimin shook his head. "That's not what that means Jungkook."

"You studied all night last night. Therefore, you get a break. Come over tonight."

Jimin watched Jungkook. His expression was anxious. This was his first time asking Jimin to do something. "Alright. I will. Think about dinner." Jimin waved him goodbye, going down to his living room.

He heard his doorbell and opened the door quickly, happy to see Jin.

"Jin hyung! I'm so glad you could make it today."

"I'm glad you didn't have a class to teach today. It all worked out. When will Tae get here?"

"Just a little later. He told us we could start."

"What should we make?"

"I bought enough for little cakes, cookies, fudge, anything really. We should compete."

"Oh that sounds fun. But I obviously have more knowledge."

"I've been practicing."

"Oh have you?"

"I have. My neighbor likes sweets."

Jin smiled. "How'd he take your confession?"

"He said he doesn't want to date, but that he's willing to get to know me first."

"Hey, that's actually really good." Jin smiled.

"It is. I know I've never felt such romantic interest before. Even with my previous relationships. But it's a hard feeling to convey."

"Well love is very interesting. You love your friends in a much different way than you love someone you're in a relationship with."

"Plus he's never dated before, so it's a whole new thing for him."

"Ohhhh, I see."

"I want you two to meet him. Maybe he can come over..."

"Ask Taehyung. Maybe he can."

"Yeah alright. He can eat the sweets we don't finish." Jimin smiled at the thought.

"Does he know much about you?"

"No. Not very much."

"Will you open up to him?"

"Of course. Though, I was a little upset about yesterday..."

"What happened?"

"Well, I was studying late last night, cause I have a project soon, but he saw me and told me to take care of myself. That I need more rest and all that. But I know myself. I'm working as hard as I can, but I'm also resting as much as I can."

"Jimin, he's just worried about you."

"Yeah, but...well, he just said it in such a way. As if...he knew what was going on in my head."

"Isn't that...didn't you want you two to know each other very well?"

"Yes, but not like that. I didn't want him to know that yet." Jimin looked down. "And if he knows I can't eat like him, then I dunno...I don't want him to feel worry every second of the day."

"Well...it is worrying. But worrying is how someone cares about another. And you know that eating is something more difficult for you than it is for Jungkook, and because you're aware of it, it's okay."

"I-" Jimin paused. "You're right."

"I am."

"Actually, you guys can meet Jungkook another day. I'll see him tonight anyway." Jimin smiled happily at his comfort.

____

Jungkook opened the door for Jimin happily, before scrunching his nose a little. "I'm glad you came over." He saw a plate of sweets again.

"Me too."

"Come on in." Jungkook let Jimin in before leading him to the kitchen.

"What was that face for?" He set down the plate.

"You don't smell like you, that's all."

Jimin laughed a little. "Is there a problem with that?"

"Only a little."

"I was with some friends of mine. You can meet them next time." Jimin smiled as he saw Jungkook finish up whatever food he was making. 

"What did you guys do?" Jungkook smiled a little as he got two bowls out, putting a lot of food in one, and a little bit in the other. He brought them to his table, sitting across from him. The table was quite little, but Jungkook liked being close. Plus, he'd set the table up as romantically as he could, a placemat and napkin for the two, and he'd tried to find a candle but didn't have any luck. What he did have, was little fake Halloween candles he put in his jack o'lantern some years ago.

He saw Jimin take it in with a giggle. "How cute. We had a small competition over making small cakes. Seokjin hyung won of course, but it was still fun. Taehyung and I got second place together." Jimin smiled. "It was nice to catch up with them again."

"I'm glad! I should see my hyungs again." Jungkook ate, Jimin doing the same. "We should all meet up. Maybe. If your hyungs are willing to. Namjoon hyung is always ready to meet new people. Says it's good for the body and brain."

"Well, I'd have to ask. But enough about other people. What about you? I didn't mention it before, but I like your tattoos." Jimin ate a little more.

Jungkook swallowed before speaking. "Oh, thank you. I try and hide them a little when I'm out, but since I'm home it's comfortable to wear short sleeves. Summer gets really hot." Jungkook whined a little. "What do you want to know about me?"

"Everything. But how about...daily routine?"

"Oh, okay. Um...I wake up around 5:30 so I can go on a run, then I come home and workout, then I take a shower and then a nap." Jungkook laughed a little. "And then you wake me up."

"Oh! That's why you're so tired! Should I let you sleep in more?"

"No, it's alright."

"God no wonder you're fit." Jimin rolled his eyes with a laugh. "You've got that over me."

"Oh, is it a competition?" Jungkook raised an eyebrow.

"Nope, you've already won. I'd be playing a loosing game." Jimin smiled. "I've lean muscle. You've toned everything. Nice thighs too."

"Ah- Jimin." Jungkook blushed and choked on his food. He coughed a little before clearing his throat. "Jimin, that's...you're supposed to forget about that."

"How could I? It was beautiful, really. I must've let my imagination get the better of me."

Jungkook blushed more. "J-Jimin!"

"Oh, did I say that out loud?" Jimin mused, finishing his food with a smile. He put his bowl to the side so he could lean closer to Jungkook.

"Was that a good amount of food?"

"It was perfect. It tasted really good."

"Good. It must be nice to finish a meal, right? Are you full?" Jungkook ate, his embarrassment subsiding.

"Yeah. It is. I am." Jimin moved his foot to Jungkook's ankle, snaking it up and down his calf.

Jungkook bumped his knee on the table before blushing again. "I-I'm glad. Finishing food is- is fulfilling."

Jimin laughed. "That's a bad pun." Jimin ran his foot up further, Jungkook gulping.

"You...I didn't mean to make one."

"How cute. Thank you for the meal Jungkook. It was delicious."

"You're welcome. I'm glad you liked it."

"What else did you have planned for the night?" Jimin leaned slightly closer, Jungkook finishing his food. "You're cute when your mouth is full."

Jungkook stared at Jimin with wide eyes. "J-Jimin...what are you trying to say?"

"Oh nothing. I'm just saying I like when you eat. Your cheeks get big and full. It's cute." Jimin smiled, his head resting between his two hands, elbows on the table.

"O-okay." Jungkook bumped his knee on the table again, when Jimin snaked his foot up a little higher. "Jimin!"

"Is there a problem?" Jimin looked shocked, but Jungkook could tell he was acting. God, always the acting.

"Is this how you always are?"

"Hm?"

"Always so flirtatious...so confident?"

"Not always. But you being shy, gosh, I just can't help myself around you." Jimin's cheeks flushed slightly.

"Why's that?"

"You call out to me. Something special."

"Oh?"

"You never answered my question. What else did you have planned for tonight? What other relaxing and distracting thing did you have in mind?" Jimin smiled.

"Is dinner not enough?"

"Not if you're offering more."

"We could watch a movie? Play video games. I- besides that I'm really active but it's night, so we should be relaxing."

"A movie sounds lovely." Jimin gave Jungkook a real smile, making Jungkook stand up quickly. "We should wash the dishes first."

"Oh? Okay." Jimin stood with him, the two taking their bowls to the kitchen and washing them. "Thank you...by the way."

"Of course. What'd I do?"

"Made me take a break."

"You looked tired. I just wanted to...make you comfortable." Jungkook smiled a little before taking him to the living room. He got a movie set up, before seeing Jimin get the blanket that was on the couch and got under it. Jungkook smiled a little as he sat next to him.

Jimin opened the blanket and moved closer, resting his head on Jungkook's shoulder, and giving him half the blanket. "How comfortable?"

"As comfortable as you'd like." Jungkook could smell Jimin's hair, and he could see how soft it looked. He was already here so... "Hey, if you lay on my lap, I can play with your hair."

"But the blanket."

"I don't need it. I'm warm enough."

"Okay then." Jimin scooted down so he could lay on Jungkook's lap, Jungkook immediately playing with his hair. They watched the movie, or, well, Jungkook watched the movie. Jimin fell right asleep, Jungkook noticing only when he looked down at a tangle in his hair.

"O-oh." Jungkook paused the movie, carefully moving so he wouldn't wake up Jimin. "Aish...the living room is cold..." he picked him up, blanket and all, before taking him upstairs to his bed, setting him down nicely, and putting the covers over him. It was the least he could do. Jungkook sat down next to the bed, leaning against it. He let out a breath before closing his eyes. It was late after all.

____

"Jungkook?" Jungkook heard Jimin call out to him quietly.

"Mm?" Jungkook sleepily answered, not really positive what was going on.

"Come on in the bed at least."

Jungkook furrowed his eyebrows. "Bed?"

"Yeah, come on. You'll get cold."

"Bed." Jungkook stood slowly, feeling his neck hurt a little (his ass hurt more) before taking off his shirt and climbing into his bed, completely disoriented. He pulled Jimin close, before closing his eyes and falling asleep.

____

Jimin had never slept so good. He woke up slowly, his nose tricking him. All he could smell was Jungkook. He hugged his pillow tighter, not wanting to wake up and start his day. Except...that wasn't his pillow. Jimin pushed up, seeing himself on Jungkook's chest. He blushed hard, trying to get up, but Jungkook pulled him down, cuddling him once again.

"No...don't go..." he spoke sleepily, Jimin not sure if he was awake.

"J-Jungkook- Jungkook, I've gotta go."

"No you don't."

Fuck. He was awake. "I've got a class today."

"Later, right?"

Jimin swallowed his saliva. How did Jungkook already remember his classes? "Jungkook..."

"Don't you want to?..." Jungkook opened his eyes a little. "Don't you want to stay like this?"

"I...I do." Jimin relaxed, still red. His head rested on Jungkook's bare chest.

"Oh. Oh. Ohhhhh." Jungkook spoke quietly. "I'm not wearing a shirt."

"Is that how you usually sleep?"

"Yeah. But I put one on as soon as I wake up."

"Well...I've seen you shirtless before."

"But not this close. Lemme put one on real quick." Jungkook tried to sit up, but Jimin stopped him.

"It's...it's nice." Jimin blushed more.

"You'll stay?"

"Yeah." Jimin barely whispered his words. What was it about Jungkook...what was it about him that made Jimin want to do everything he asked. Everything he wanted. Jimin felt compelled to do it. And he was good at denying alphas. He could flirt with them all day but never give in to anything. But not with Jungkook's. He flirts with him all day and night, but as soon as he requests something it's done.

"You okay?"

"Yeah I'm good. Just...close."

"You were very confident yesterday."

"I wanted to see your reaction."

"Oh yeah?" Jungkook moved his hands to Jimin's waist, moving him off of his chest and under him, Jungkook hovering over Jimin. He kept his hand on Jimin's waist, slinking a leg in between Jimin's. "Just a reaction?"

Jimin blushed hard, eyes wide. "J-Jungkook-"

"I want to know what you're doing. You're so hypocritical." Jungkook's low voice was jarring. Jimin wasn't used to his morning voice at all.

"A-am I?"

Jungkook nodded. "You flirt, you're so forward, but when I'm forward you're so careful. You played footsie with me, but once I make a move you're oh so embarrassed and need to get home. What are you trying to do?"

"I want to drive you crazy." Jimin bit his bottom lip. "I want you to feel the exact same way about me as I feel for you. I want you to feel the need to be by me, to cling to me, to exist by me." Jimin blushed harder, seeing Jungkook's eyebrows burrow. He looked so serious, yet still so tired.

"You already do that."

"Then why aren't we dating?"

"Wanna know you first. I know what attraction feels like. But I don't know what romantic feelings feel like. And I don't know you well yet."

"Then why are you keeping me in your bed?" Jimin glared a little.

"I-" Jungkook stared at Jimin a little. "I don't know. I just listened to myself."

Jimin laughed. "Oh?"

He watched Jungkook's confusion. "I...I don't know?" Jungkook sat up, stopping his hovering. "I don't know. Last night too. You invited me to bed and I just- I just did it."

Jimin laughed again. "Well, you've got that effect on me too."

"Huh?"

"You can ask just a simple thing and I feel compelled to do it."

"Really?" Jungkook looked at him with wide, doe eyes.

"Yes really." Jimin stretched out, getting comfortable. "You're the first to be able to do that to me."

"That's...really something." Jungkook looked dumbfounded. "I don't know what's gotten over me."

"Well...that's okay. I like it." Jimin looked him up and down, watching Jungkook blush.

"Oh god I already forgot." Jungkook reached down for his shirt, Jimin kicking Jungkook's arm to keep him away from it. He stayed in his position, feet hanging off the bed.

"You look nice."

"But it's so embarrassing Jimin." Jungkook covered his face. "I'm so embarrassed."

Jimin sat up and hugged Jungkook from behind, hands lacing together around his abdomen. "It's okay. I get embarrassed too."

"When? So far all I've seen is you not get embarrassed as you continue to just flirt and make me shy."

"You make me shy too, believe it or not. I'm not usually like this either. There's just something about you that draws me to you."

"I hope...it's not physical attraction..."

"It's not. I promise you it's not." Jimin sighed into Jungkook's back. "It's really not. I just get so embarrassed that I flirt. And when I flirt you get shy so I just keep doing it. And before I know it you see me as just flirtatious. I know I'm kind of...secretive. I'm just not used to genuine people liking me."

"Well...to me it seems like we need to go on some dates."

"I agree. Coffee date. I'm free on Friday."

"After your class?"

"After my class."

"Okay. You'll have to take me, since I barely know my way around."

"Good." Jimin whispered. "I'm glad you want to be around me."

"Of course I do." Jungkook said it plainly, easing Jimin. "Of course I want to be around you. I always want to be around you. You tend to ask it all so gently...but I just...I don't know. I'm positive I like you. But I definitely want to know you first."

"I don't want to make you worry about it all. We can go slow."

"Can we? Nothing feels slow."

"I can't tell if that's my fault or not."

"There's no faults...it's just how things happened." Jimin could hear Jungkook's small laugh. "And that's not a problem."

"Mm." Jimin rested his cheek on Jungkook's back and closed his eyes. "Thanks. For not taking me home."

"I was not going to rummage through your shorts."

"You could've woken me up."

"You...you wouldn't have rested as much if you'd gone home. And I wanted you to rest."

Jimin laughed a little. "Well...thank you."

"Can we rest some more?"

"I do have a class today."

"It's online anyways."

"I have to be present."

"It's later. And I want to be close to you." Jungkook tried to turn around, but Jimin held him in place, his cheeks starting to heat up.

"But still."

"You're getting hot. You good?"

"M-maybe you should put on a shirt."

"Oh, so now you're embarrassed." Jungkook rolled his eyes but laughed a little.

"Maybe." Jimin let go of him and laid down again, facing the wall instead of Jungkook.

He heard Jungkook put on his shirt and cuddle up to him again. He felt his breath on his neck, little puffs as he calmed his breathing. Jungkook held his waist kindly, just putting his hand there. Jimin gathered whatever strength he had and turned around to face Jungkook. Jungkook looked like he was already ready to sleep, his hand moving to Jimin's back, again, just leaving it to rest there.

"How can you be so tired already?"

"Stayed up late, woke up early. Plus, you smell good. I hope my bed smells like you after you leave." Jungkook started to mumble his words, Jimin able to tell that he was getting tired again. "Mmm...it's already warm."

"You're keeping your shirt on."

"But you get to wear shorts? How is that fair~"

"Cause. You're not touching my legs." Jimin laughed quietly.

"That's true...but you don't have to touch my chest." Jungkook countered Jimin's statement, making Jimin redden.

"Y-you're right." Jimin moved his hands off of Jungkook's chest.

"I mean...I don't mind..." Jungkook spoke quietly.

"It's too much to ask. I know I'm forward, but I won't force myself on you."

"Good. I don't think I would handle that well."

Jimin laughed a little, also starting to get a little sleepy. "I'll plan out our date while I sleep."

"For once can you rest?"

"I did. Now it's work time."

"Aish."

____

"This is actually quite lovely." Jungkook smiled. "I mean- I knew it would be nice to go out with you of course, but the place is nice." Jungkook tried to clear up the words he said.

"I know Jungkook, don't worry. I picked this place just for you."

"Really?"

"Yeah. It's quiet, not as popular, but still really good. I bought us a lot of sweets to try. Mostly for you. So please, indulge me." Jimin smiled, easing Jungkook.

"You just want my cheeks to get full." Jungkook pouted a little.

"Perhaps."

"Well, then so be it. Tell me stuff." Jungkook laughed a little as he ate a muffin.

"Ah, that's only fair. Let's see...we'll, I'm 24, I'm a Libra, I like being around people, I like reading. I'm a huge animal person, I love watching dramas, and I love making new things. Creating is one of my favorite things to do. I take pride in my flexibility, so I stretch many times a day. I like to think I'm determined and have skill, but I know that I've got a lot of things to learn. I'm always striving to better myself."

"Wow. Sounds like a tinder profile." Jungkook watched Jimin giggle.

"It does not."

"You're right, they usually put their height and what stereotype they fit in. Like you might be..."

"Well, you look like a jock but you're a nice guy. Me? Probably...mmm, I have some middle aged women stereotypes. As in, I'm a fitness nerd, I drink wine and I have soccer mom energy."

"You're the loudest in a crowd, huh?" Jungkook started on the slice of lemon pound cake.

Jimin laughed a little. "Yeah. I'm always ready to support my friends." Jimin took a sip from his drink.

Jungkook smiled as he got stared at. Jimin's wandering eyes smiled. "That's good. What are your feelings on music?"

"Oh, I live for music. Singing, dancing, creating. I want to get my hands on everything." Jimin smiled. "My hyung always wants to bring me to fish with him, or ski, but he's way better at both for me to have much fun."

"Ah- I've never done either of those. I've been pretty busy."

"When do you take breaks?"

"Every Saturday, but besides that I work. Content has to be made for me to stay relevant."

"Mm, media is a hard platform."

"But it's nice. I get to do exactly what I want for fun, and something I do collaborations. It's really fun."

"I'm so impressed you're already doing what you want so young."

"I'm only two years younger than you."

"Oh yeah? Well, you're certainly energetic in your videos."

Jungkook choked a little. "You watched some?"

"Perhaps. It's quite odd, honestly, to see you like that when I know you're a shy boy."

"Ah, yeah." Jungkook blushed a little with a sheepish smile. "I just get a little comfortable when I'm playing games, but in real life my decisions have consequences, so I have to be a lot more careful."

"You're smart. I'm glad you've got common sense." Jimin puckered his lips as he thought for a second. "I've seen a lot of YouTubers change during their time working. You know, like, watching people you've been watching for a long time change because they've had to. YouTube is a constantly changing thing."

"If you're worried about me becoming anything other than shy, embarrassed and an introvert, that's not going to happen. I have some sponsorships, but every YouTuber does eventually. It's not like I change because of the attention." Jungkook smiled softly. "Attention doesn't change anything."

"I mean...except mine, right?" Jungkook watched Jimin smile a little.

"Of course. For some reason...your attention makes me a fool." Jungkook smiled as Jimin ate some of Jungkook's cake.

"Well, you're quite an adorable fool."

"Says you. You've been adorable for as long as I've known you."

"Is that so?"

"It is." Jungkook looked down a little. "The first time you gave me a welcoming gift was very kind of you."

"I was flirting at first. But, well...I got more attached the more I brought things over."

"I thought you were going to say that you were flirting more each time you came over."

"Okay, the time I went after my yoga class was an accident. I just forgot what I was wearing. But your face...ah, I'll never forget it." Jimin imagined it again, Jungkook blushing a little.

"Ah- I was hoping you didn't notice, but I was quite obvious." Jungkook laughed a little, playing with his hair in slight embarrassment.

"Of course I noticed. I didn't think you'd be so obvious."

"I didn't expect you to show up at my door in such a way."

"You make it sound so bad."

"Who knows. It could've been worse. You could've been wearing shorts too."

Jimin laughed loudly. "Oh, and that would've been a problem?"

"Yes! I could've exploded from heart palpitations."

"Who knew I was that attractive."

"You did Jimin."

Jimin blushed a little. "Yeah, you're right." He drank more of his drink. "I try."

"And you've accomplished that. Now it's time to treat yourself."

"Treat myself?"

"Yeah. Like, self care days."

"Everyday is a self care day."

"Mmmm...define what that looks like for you."

"Well...I'll...call a friend. Bake something satisfying. Um...stretch a bit?"

"Okay, but what about like, cooking a really good meal, doing a face mask, watching more of a show you've been too busy to watch, those kinds of things. You know...an off day."

"You know I don't have off days. I need money, and I need to focus on school."

"Yet...here you are." Jungkook ate the next treat; cute little macarons.

"Ah- you've tricked me into going out, haven't you?" Jimin gasped in surprise, Jungkook trying to hold back his smile.

"It's a date."

"Oh, you're sneaky. I'll remember that."

"You better. I'm taking you out in a week." Jungkook gave Jimin half of each macaron.

"Oh yeah? What do you have in mind?"

"Dunno. Maybe a day at the park." Jungkook shrugged. "I'm still learning this place."

"I'll think of some attractions."

"Maybe I'll just invite you over to play some video games."

"You'd have to teach me a lot."

"That's okay."

____

"Okay I didn't realize just how much stuff you had for video games." Jimin was taken aback at the room of equipment.

Their second date sadly had to be pushed back to the next week, but hey, Jimin was still happy to take a day off.

"Oh yeah, it's taken a while to set it all up again. But I thought, I dunno, maybe you were wondering what it looked like on the other side of the screen. What kind of games do you like?"

"Co-op?"

"That makes sense."

"Oh does it?"

"It really does."

"Well, what do you suggest we play?" Jimin watched Jungkook look through his piles of games. He couldn't imagine himself with this life.

"Uhhhhhh...let's see."

They ended up playing multiple games, Jungkook laughing whenever Jimin couldn't quite get something right. Jimin learned that together they could do puzzle games, but alone they weren't very good at them. As he watched Jungkook play his favorite game, Jimin lounging on the couch, head on Jungkook's thigh, he learned that Jungkook was competitive. Very competitive. So competitive that he complained after he lost a game, whining that the opponent was cheating.

"That's just not fair. I super had him." Jungkook huffed and leaned back on the couch, arms crossed.

Jimin smiled and put a hand on his thigh. "That's okay. You still did good."

Jungkook looked down at Jimin and smiled softly. He play with his hair. "I guess so."

Jimin looked up at him, Jungkook looking away. "Still embarrassed?"

"Sometimes I can't believe that you're really here and look at me like that."

"Like what?"

"Like...like that." Jungkook looked at Jimin again, a pout on his lips.

Jimin smiled and closed his eyes. "I'm just happy to be with you."

"That's...really sweet of you."

"Why wouldn't I want to be around you? I love it. It's calming and I get to hear your voice. Plus you're very kind."

Jimin heard Jungkook laugh a little. "You're the kind one. I'm still very grateful to you."

"Oh yeah?"

"Yeah. You're easy to be with. I...I take a long time to open up to someone. But I- I want to open up to you. So you make it easy."

"Well, most introverts tend to take some time, so I'm willing to wait. There is no need to speed up the process for me."

"Thank you for that too. You just very very kind."

"I learned from my hyung."

Jungkook laughed. "I learned from my hyungs too."

"Do you have any friends your own age?"

"A couple. We met online and we've met up a couple times. Mostly just one of them though. His names Yugyeom. He's a really good friend of mine now."

"Do you see him a lot?"

"No, mostly just text or play games together. We're both busy. He's got a whole other life, ya know?"

"Oh yeah, I know. My friends are actors." Jimin sighed heavily. "So they're always busy."

"Well...I'm glad we've got each other then."

"Me too. I like your company."

"I like you too. I mean, I like your company too." Jungkook stumbled over his words, looking away from Jimin once again. "Are you- are you tired?"

"Yeah. But that's okay. I'll watch till I sleep."

"Then at least take your keys out of your pocket so I can take you home."

"What if I want to sleep in your bed?" Jimin pouted, taking his keys out of his pocket and putting them on the coffee table.

"Then ask."

"Can I sleep in your bed again?" Jimin looked up at him, puppy eyes activated.

"Sure. How could I say no?" Jungkook smiled softly, his voice quieting.

"You can always say no if you want to. If I push you too far."

"I like being pushed too far."

"Oh, do you?" Jimin smiled sleepily up at him, turning his head towards Jungkook's stomach so he could see him better. He looked up, before moving his arm on top of Jungkook's thigh to rest his head on.

"Y-yeah. You know, see what I can take."

"What can you take?"

"A lot."

"I'd like to see that." Jimin smiled a little more evilly this time. "I wonder what you mean by those words."

"A-ah, nothing that you might be thinking of." Jimin watched Jungkook blush every so slightly, their games forgotten.

"What might you be suggesting?"

"I'm suggesting like, I try and see how long I can run, or life weights, or go without food or how long I can play video games before I fall asleep. You know...stuff that limits me. I wanna know my limits."

"...that doesn't seem so healthy."

"I'm getting better."

"Well, I'm certain you have a lot of stamina then."

"I do."

"Good."

"Good?" Jungkook took a second to understand what Jimin was implying. "O-oh! J-Jimin, that's very...that's-"

"Another day."

"If- if that's- if that's what you- oh gosh." Jungkook blushed more, looking away from Jimin. Jimin closed his eyes with a smile.

"You're cute." Jimin giggled, watching Jungkook blush just a tad bit more.

He tried to clear his throat. "You're so confident." His voice barely came out.

"Well, you're just so easy to be confident around. I'm used to alphas being so high and mighty that I have to take them down a notch. But with you, I feel like I have to raise you up a couple."

"I can be confident. When I make videos I am. But...not with you so much. You give me butterflies and compliments and I just...I'm shy when you do those things. I'm not used to it at all."

"What are you used to?" Jimin started to draw circles on Jungkook's upper thigh.

"Not much. I've never dated before. Or even talked to someone. I have friends, but I don't have any relationship experience." He licked his lips before pursing them. Jimin was still rubbing a small circle on his thigh.

"Mmm...how many more dates do you need?"

"Maybe a couple more. I'm not sure."

"Cause I really want to kiss you."

"I- o-oh." Jungkook observed Jimin's sleepy smile. Almost a dazed look.

"But that's okay. I'll wait." Jimin smiled more. "I'll always wait. Just so you know. There's no one else."

"No one else?"

"Nope. Just you." Jimin started to drift off to sleep. The last thing he could hear was Jungkook ever so softly say "It's just you as well."

____

"I can't believe it! Our hyungs were really able to take the same day off! I can't wait for them all to meet each other."

"I think my hyungs are going to be very confused to see two actors."

Jimin laughed. "Maybe."

The two had been on dates for the past three months, but Jimin was still waiting for Jungkook to date him. If he has to meet his parents before they date he might just start a riot.

"I'm just saying. I mean...all my hyungs are in the music industry. So maybe they'll all find common ground."

"That's so wild! I guess everyone has fans." Jimin felt slight jealousy. He wasn't doing anything to get fans. But maybe once he graduated he could start on that journey.

"You could put it that way." Jungkook gave a small smile before changing the subject. "I think they'll get along. I want them to at least. One of them is shy, but that's okay if Hoseok hyung is with him."

"I'm glad it'll be here at your house."

"You've only got one couch and it's small."

"It's perfect for company. Just not...not a lot of people."

"Well, a big couch is just better. Better for having people, better for lounging. Come on." Jungkook looked at Jimin. "You know that's true."

"Okay okayyyyyy, that's true. I like lounging on your couch."

"Then I rest my case."

"Sure." Jimin smiled at him.

They finished cleaning up the house, the dishes clean, some food in the fridge if needed, Jimin had made sweets of course, and the living room was cleaned up. All that was left for people to show up.

Seokjin was the first to show up, Taehyung in tow. Jimin watched Jungkook lick his lips, obviously shy.

"Jimin! I'm so glad we could visit." Jin was the first to speak, going over to hug Jimin, and then introduce himself to Jungkook. "I've heard a lot about you. It's nice to meet you, I'm Kim Seokjin." He bowed, Jungkook bowing back.

"It's nice to meet you too."

When everyone else started to show up, introductions were all happening. Jimin's friends had more people to greet, but in general, it happened quickly. Jimin met the shy Min Yoongi and more energetic Jung Hoseok, while completely admiring Kim Namjoon. Wow. What a man. It seemed that Jin was also drawn to him.

"Well, I'm glad he's the lucky boy Jimin. Otherwise I might've said no." Taehyung laughed heartily as the two talked, the others all sitting on the couch while music was played on the tv.

"Taehyung! That's barely a compliment."

"Well, it's true. He's kind. Selfless. Look at him trying to make conversation with two other introverts and his hyungs. He's trying really hard to be accepted."

"I'm important to him."

"And that's exactly what I mean. If he wasn't any of those things, if he didn't have such a good grasp on his feelings, I don't think I could've allowed him to love you."

"I'm glad he does." Jimin smiled happily. "I'm hoping he's ready to date me."

"Wait, you still aren't dating?"

"I told you that. We wanted to get to know each other first."

"You think you're known now?"

"I think so."

"I'm glad."

"Me too." Jimin smiled as he looked over at Jungkook having a generally good time. Laughing, smiling, being a part of their conversation. Jin seemed to fit in well as well.

"It's nice. Let's get in there too." Taehyung smiled and the two went over and joined in.

____

A couple more months passed. At this point Jungkook felt like the two were already dating, but Jimin hadn't asked yet, so technically they weren't. But maybe it was a good thing they weren't yet. Jungkook had to talk to him about something.

"Hey Jimin..."

"Yes, Jungkook?" Jimin looked up at him, the two relaxing while watching a movie. Jungkook know he could already tell something was off.

"Don't worry, it's nothing bad I just gotta tell to you about something."

"Which is?" Jimin sat up better, his attention on Jungkook.

Jungkook felt immediately nervous, playing with his own hands. "W-well, I want to explain my- explain what will happen if we date. W-when we date."

"Yes?" Jimin looked at him seriously, Jungkook feeling even more nervous.

"Well, I don't know if that's something I want to announce to my subscribers, or if it's something I want to keep a secret. I'm not- I'm not very open about my personal life either way, but they do see me in every video I make. I'm just not sure...I'm not sure what you would prefer."

"That's your decision. If you want me to be a secret, then that's okay. If you want me to be your boyfriend on camera as well as off, that's okay too." Jimin smiled happily. "I thought you were going to tell me something bad! You had me worried for a second there."

"I didn't mean to worry you. I just- it's been on my mind lately. Cause I wanna be proud of you. You know? But I don't want to show you off like a prize. You're just very special to me and I want you to be okay with what happens."

"I'll be okay with it. Of course I will be. I know you always have my best interest in mind." Jimin smiled and took Jungkook's nervous hands in his own, Jungkook keeping eye contact with him.

"You've got pretty eyes."

"Oh says you. Your eyes sparkle like diamonds in a spotlight. You've got your own little galaxy in them."

"You're very sweet." Jungkook looked down at Jimin's hands in his own before looking back at Jimin. "So you'll be okay with being my boyfriend?"

"Okay? I would love to." Jimin smiled and felt himself lean closer to Jungkook.

"Good. I don't think I could've been okay if you'd have said no." Jungkook laughed a little, but looked down at Jimin's lips, lingering too long on them.

"Eyes are up here Jungkook." Jimin smiled a little, but Jungkook didn't move his eyes. He knew that smile was trying to be enticing. He knew Jimin well now.

"I know." Jungkook decided to be brave.

"Then by all means kiss me." Jimin tried to tug Jungkook closer, but Jungkook didn't budge, instead pulling Jimin closer to finally kiss him. Jungkook pulled Jimin even closer, Jimin melting into Jungkook.

Jungkook felt a weight come off his chest as they kissed. His anxiety, his questions, his doubts all disappeared and was replaced with ease. He'd never felt so at peace. He slowly pulled away.

"I'm so glad it's you. I can't imagine loving anyone other than you."

Jimin widened his eyes. "You-"

Jungkook went red. "I! I mean! I mean, o-of course it's you-"

"It's okay Jungkook. I love you too. You just surprised me by saying it first." Jimin moved even closer, climbing onto Jungkook's lap and straddling him.

Jungkook felt embarrassed once again. "J-Jimin-"

"Don't worry. It's just to kiss you better." Jimin smiled, and Jungkook could tell it was hiding just a little something. Jungkook put his arms around Jimin's waist as he kissed him again, the two falling into a rhythm.

Jungkook felt like he was in heaven. Jimin was absolute bliss. His lips were soft, his hands were in Jungkook's hair, his body was oh so lightly on top of Jungkook's, his lips moved just enough to keep Jungkook wanting more. Jungkook could just feel himself wanting more. God so much more. Definitely wanted to be closer.

Jungkook pulled him closer, Jimin smiling a little into their kiss. "Yeah?"

"Yeah." Jimin pulled away, Jungkook's eyes lingering on Jimin's lips. "You're so pretty."

"Eyes are up here Jungkookie." Jimin moved one of his hands to Jungkook's shoulder and the other to Jungkook's chin, raising his head up a little so their eyes met.

Jungkook blushed heavily, averting his eyes down.

"Aw~ so shy now?" Jimin purred his words, a smile placed on his lips. "Why?"

Jungkook shook his head, his voice no longer working.

"How cute~" Jimin laughed evilly. Jungkook could hear the teasing in his voice.

"It's...not funny..."

"Oh yes it is. Look at you. You finally kiss me and now you're all embarrassed." Jimin spoke as a pout, teasing Jungkook further. "I thought you were an alpha."

"I am." Jungkook furrowed his eyebrows a little. "B-but I didn't grow up in an alpha based house."

"Adorable. I would let you do anything if you asked. You're just toooooo shy." Jimin smiled and giggled, putting his hands back in Jungkook's hair, grabbing it and tugging it back to expose Jungkook's neck. He kissed it gingerly, Jungkook letting him as he leaned back into Jimin's hands.

"J-Jimin..." Jungkook closed his eyes, letting Jimin kiss and suck on his neck. He felt Jimin's tongue, teeth and lips, unsure what he was doing exactly. "J-Jimin, what are- what are you doing?"

"I'm marking you up."

"M-marking?"

"Oh Jungkook. Don't tell me you don't know what I mean?" Jimin hummed as he continued.

"No...?"

"I'm making marks that are going to last a week or so."

"W-wait, Jimin-"

"Mine." Jimin growled into Jungkook's throat before making a mark there too, Jungkook groaning slightly.

"Jimin. Jimin, you've gotta- gotta let me kiss you again."

"Mmmmmm...okay." Jimin let go of Jungkook's hair, Jungkook kissing him immediately, Jimin smiling into the kiss. Jimin pulled away slightly, Jungkook following his lips. "Ah, delicious." Jimin leaned back, resting against Jungkook's hands.

Jungkook watched Jimin look him up and down. "Maybe some more later."

"What?"

Jimin smiled and covered his mouth with one of his hands a little. "Nothing."

"What is it?" Jungkook looked at him, his want for more still growing.

"Oh...it's nothing, don't worry. I should head home, hm?" Jimin smiled more, trying to hide it behind his hand.

"Oh no. You can spend the night, no?" Jungkook smiled and held his arms around Jimin's waist tighter.

"Ohhhh, I'm not sure." Jimin dramatically rolled his eyes. "I've got a yoga class tomorrow."

"Well, I'm certain you can get home on time if you stay the night."

"I'm not sure. Last time you made me a full breakfast and then begged me for cuddles afterwards."

"That was different."

"And this time?"

"Also different. Of course I'll make you breakfast, but I don't need to beg for cuddles. I just want you in my bed tonight."

"Why do I even have a house? You make me sleep over here anyways." Jimin laughed a little.

"Move in."

Jimin widened his eyes. Jungkook was being truthful. "That's a big decision?"

"It's up to you then. I'm not going to find anyone else."

"You seem so certain."

"Are you not?" Jungkook looked up at him, a pleasant smile still on his face.

"No, you're right. I'm certain too. I just don't want to deal with moving and selling a house."

"Ah, that's understandable." Jungkook smiled happily.

"What?" Jimin smiled back.

"So you'll stay the night?"

"Of course." He give Jimin a kiss on his forehead. "I could never turn down such a cutie."

"Thank you."

"Psh. Don't even worry about it. I want to kiss you all night too."

____

As more months passed, Jungkook could tell he was getting more touchy. By all means. He wanted to be by Jimin all the time so he could hug him, he wanted to hold his hand if they were doing nothing, he wanted to cuddle, to kiss, to touch. Jungkook had learned some of Jimin's buttons, and in the process had lost his shirt plenty of times.

But Jungkook could feel something in the pit of his stomach. It grew by the day.

More. He just wanted more. Every day they spent together Jungkook would end up kissing on Jimin, urging him to take off his shirt. Every date they went on Jungkook would have to hold Jimin's hand just to keep himself from taking Jimin somewhere quiet to kiss on him yet again.

Jungkook felt like he was going crazy. Every day he had to record his focus wasn't clear. He had fun, yes, and his quality of entertainment was still high, but his actual game play became more funny to watch than skillful. Yugeom ended calling him after their session.

"Hey dude, what's going on? I know you're not that shit at MarioKart 8 deluxe. Come on dude."

Jungkook laughed a little. "I'm just struggling with some day to day stuff. You know how it is."

"Not sure I do. What's up?"

"I'm not sure. I can't tell if I'm starting my rut or I'm just really horny for my boyfriend."

"Ooooo, that sounds like fun."

"Oh, shut up. You know what I mean though, right?"

"Yeah, kinda. Maybe just...ask him."

"Ahhhhh, but I'm so awkward when it comes to that kind of stuff."

"You've done it before, you can do it again. Shape up, you've gotta play better than that next time. If I'm winning against you, then there's a problem. Thanks for the content!"

Jungkook laughed. "Thanks for playing." Jungkook hung up. Maybe he should just ask Jimin.

Jungkook sighed heavily before texting Jimin back. It was a late night, and he still had to edit up his video.

Jimin texted him back. "Sleep you dummy."

"Can't. Gotta edit."

"I'll come over then."

"Nooo, lemme do my work."

"You've got plenty of videos stored up. Upload one of those :)"

"Fine."

Jungkook smiled a little before going down to get the door. Jimin didn't even knock before Jungkook opened the door.

"Hey. You okay?" Jimin walked in, taking Jungkook's hand after he locked the door, the two going up to Jungkook's bedroom.

"Yeah, I'm good. Why do you ask?"

"Cause. You seem a little off."

"I'm good. Why're you up so late?"

"Waiting for you to ask me to bed." Jimin climbed into Jungkook's bed, Jungkook following after him, taking off his shirt. Jimin cuddled up to him. "...are you sure you're good?"

"I'm pretty sure I'm good. Why?" Jungkook kissed Jimin's forehead.

"Something on your mind?" Jimin set his hand on Jungkook's waist, rubbing up and down. "I can tell that somethings on your mind." 

"Ah. Sorry." Jungkook tried to collect his thoughts. "I'm just having an odd time right now. I think I'm going to go into rut soon."

"Oh. That would make so much sense." Jimin exhaled. "Sometimes you worry me with your worry. Just tell me when something's up next time."

"I know." Jungkook whined. "I just get confused about myself. Like, I think it's my rut but I'm not positive."

"How long has it been?"

"I think six months. But usually it takes eight."

"Maybe that's my bad."

"Perhaps." Jungkook kissed Jimin's forehead again.

"Well..."

"They last a long time Jimin. I'm not going to ask you to help me through it. I have enough videos saved up, I'm sure I'll be okay work wise, so I'll just be home for a week or so."

"I don't mind helping you through it."

"You...you wouldn't help...it go easily..." Jungkook felt his heartbeat quicken.

"Oh?" Jimin moved his hand to Jungkook's back, rubbing circles on it.

"Jimin. You know how you make me feel, right? I'm asking you not to help me through my rut."

"And I'm asking you to let me help you. I know how I make you feel, and that's been my goal. You remember me making that clear...right?" Jimin placed kisses on Jungkook's chest.

"Ah, Jimin..." Jungkook felt himself get embarrassed. "You shouldn't want to help me through it. I'll just take some pills to make it better."

"But...I want to help you through it. I want to make you feel better, and at ease and I don't want you to feel in pain. Also, that would mean I wouldn't be able to see you much, and I'm not sure how well I'd do with that."

"Jimin-"

"Jungkook." Jimin huffed, making Jungkook laugh a little. He started to drift off, Jimin's scent comforting.

"Yeah, okay. Just as long as you don't blow off your own schedule for me."

"We're on break."

"You still teach yoga classes."

"I can easily cancel for a week. It's only twice a week." Jimin kissed his chest again.

"You're too kind to me." Jungkook held him closer. "Too, too kind."

"I want to be good to you. It's what you deserve."

"It's a lot to ask of you. This, I mean."

"It's okay."

"You positive?"

"I'm positive."

Jimin woke up to Jungkook's very warm body. His skin was getting sweaty, even in the cold weather, and his breathing was starting to become odd. Jimin understood the situation and got up, getting a washcloth wet and coming back, putting it on Jungkook's forehead.

He quickly went down to Jungkook's kitchen, trying to find some food to suffice them for the time being, filling up a water bottle as well before coming back to a tossing and turning Jungkook.

"Hey..." Jimin touched his shoulder, putting what he got on the floor. "Jungkookie, wake up."

"Mm?" Jungkook furrowed his eyebrows, not opening his eyes.

"You're starting your rut. Come on, get some food in you. You won't eat for a long time if you don't eat now."

"Want you." Jungkook groaned softly, his discomfort becoming visible.

"Not yet. Eat a little." Jimin got a protein bar and unwrapped it, Jungkook sitting up a little, eyes still closed. The towel on his forehead fell.

"Jimin, come here."

"Eat."

Jungkook pouted but ate the bar. Jimin smiled, glad that Jungkook was at least listening to him. "Come'er Jimin. I wanna be near you."

"You're near." Jimin smiled more, watching Jungkook slowly wake up with his conflicting thoughts. Ruts were harsh.

"Closer. More. I need more Jimin."

"I've got more food just for you."

"You Jimin. I need more of you." Jungkook lowered his voice. "So please come closer." Jungkook held the fallen wet towel in confusion.

"Here, let me take that." Jimin took the towel from Jungkook's hand, but Jungkook quickly took Jimin's wrist and pulled him onto the bed.

"Why didn't you just come here?" Jungkook finally opened his eyes a little, but closed them just as quickly. He kissed Jimin happily, before climbing over him, pushing Jimin's shirt up.

"Ah- hold it! Jimin smacked Jungkook's hand. "Let me put the towel away."

Jungkook took the towel and threw it. He went back to taking Jimin's shirt off.

"Jungkook I swear-"

"Jimin I am on the verge of losing my mind because of your scent. If I don't start undressing you kindly, I might rip off your tiny shorts and get to work on marking you up." Jungkook gave a smile before being serious again, his eyes attempting to open again. They stayed open for longer, but still closed.

Jimin giggled, but took off his shirt. "My shorts aren't tiny."

"I know you wear them just to shape your ass and make me insane."

"Oh yeah?"

"Yeah. I know the little things you do to try and make me break. But I try so hard to be kind and gentle but Jimin, I don't know if I can do that anymore. You've been driving me crazy for the past few months."

Jimin smiled wide. "What ever are you talking about?"

"Don't say that like you don't know. Your lingering touches, your voice changing an octave when you're near my ear, your hand on my thigh, your stares, your scent. God, I swear you're able to make your scent stronger whenever you want to make me go insane."

"Oh yeah? I think it just means you get turned on by me."

"Of course I do!" Jungkook opened his eyes and was able to keep them open. "Of course I do. You're beautiful. All of you. You've just been so kind to me, and not for any reason other than because-"

"Because I love you." Jimin watched Jungkook smile with some bashfulness, before his face contorted in some pain.

"A-ah." He closed his eyes as he tightened his muscles, Jimin resting a hand on Jungkook's bicep.

"Hey...start prepping me." Jimin was concerned. Jungkook looked like he was in pain. He could barely see his face, the sun was just about rising, but he could still tell.

"I....I'd have to get up..."

"You should've let me do that when I wanted to put the towel away."

"Aish, whatever." Jungkook laughed a little, the pain subsiding. "It's okay. I think." Jungkook got up to rummage through his draws, trying to find things. "You're so prepared for things, god." He kept looking.

"Are you good there?" Jimin sat up on his elbows, looking down at his stomach to make sure it was still flat. He looked back at Jungkook, watching him progressively get more frantic.

"Just peachy." Jungkook looked in a couple boxes. "God, where did I put it?"

Jimin laughed. "It's fine."

"What's fine?"

"If you don't find what you're looking for."

"Jimin, I'm not going into rut without taking care of your well being."

"We've both tested and made sure we were okay and all that."

"That's not the- that's not the problem. I want to make sure I don't hurt you."

"Maybe find lube then."

"I'm trying." Jungkook growled a little, upset that he couldn't find what he was looking for. "Bathroom." Jungkook suddenly stood up from his squat, rushing to the bathroom.

Jimin laughed loudly. "At least your brain is working properly!"

"It's filled with you sweetheart!" Jungkook yelled back, Jimin hearing the sound of containers hitting each other. He laughed again, before making the bed more comfortable. Jungkook came back victoriously. "Got it!"

"Good." Jimin slipped his shorts off, Jungkook watching him intensely. "Come on now, prep me." Jimin raised an eyebrow, enticing Jungkook to get over him once again.

"You're so beautiful."

"Thank you. Now come on. I don't want to make you wait." Jimin wrapped his legs around Jungkook waist, pulling him closer. "Right?"

"R-right." Jungkook leaned down to kiss Jimin, but Jimin turned his head, Jungkook's lips kissing his cheek. "Hey...what's wrong?"

"Nothing. Just want you to...you know..."

"Oh Jimin...are you embarrassed suddenly?"

"Of course not!" Jimin tried to hide his growing blush.

"Then...what could it be?" Jungkook placed kisses on Jimin's neck and chest, gently palming him as well.

"A-ah." Jimin gave an embarrassed laugh. "You don't have to be so kind."

"I will be. I'll try my hardest to be. I don't want to lose myself." Jungkook closed his eyes and furrowed his eyebrows. "Ah. Though it's getting...kinda painful."

Jimin knew Jungkook had been hard since he put the wet towel on his forehead. "Then get to it?"

"...it's fine. Just..." Jungkook pressed harder on Jimin's crotch, Jimin giving out an exclamation. "Just let me take care of you."

"I want to take care of you, stupid." Jimin felt himself start to get hard. "You're the one in pain. Let me ease it."

"Mmm...tempting."

"Stop allowing yourself to be in pain. Let me help you."

"Fuck, there's no need to be so deep about it."

"Take off your clothes, come on." Jimin nudged him in his side with his foot.

"God- fuck- fine." Jungkook sat up to take his clothes off, then taking Jimin's last piece of clothing off. Jungkook stared before shaking his head a little.

"You good?"

"Don't wanna lose it. Can you flip over?"

"I wanna see you." Jimin pouted.

"It would be very difficult to tongue you if you're laying on your back." Jungkook kept his eyebrows furrowed, Jimin able to tell he was still in pain.

"Okay." Jimin flipped over, laying on his arms and sticking his ass in the air just to tease him.

Jungkook laughed a little. "Thank you." Jungkook kissed Jimin's ass, biting here and there, before grabbing and fondling him.

"I- Jungkook!"

"Is there a problem?"

"N-no-"

"Then don't worry so much. Just be comfortable." Jungkook stuck his tongue inside Jimin's hole, making Jimin shiver.

"Fuck!" Jimin blushed deeply as Jungkook pushed his tongue inside and out. "J-Jungkook!"

Jungkook hummed, Jimin gasping a little. "Is it good?" Jungkook sounded pleased, Jimin nodding a little. "Good."

Jungkook continued, Jimin at a loss of words at the new feeling.

Jungkook finally stopped, Jimin feeling his cheeks burn. "I'm going...going to prep you now okay?" Jungkook wiped his mouth, a smile on his lips.

"Okay. You should do that." Jimin huffed out.

"If you're okay with that?"

"Jungkook, of course. Now come on, get yourself comfortable." Jimin mocked Jungkook, Jungkook giving a half laugh.

"I'm caring for you Jimin."

"It's your rut though?..."

"And? I'm...I'm trying my hardest not to lose it. I want to take care of you."

"And you are. But it's okay to- to please yourself."

"Your pleasure is just as fulfilling."

"That's not true. I know you're in pain. So come on, let me help you."

Jungkook opened the lube and poured it on his fingers before putting his pointer finger inside Jimin. "You are helping me, I just- I just don't want to be rough."

"It's okay if you are. I'm okay with that."

"No, I mean, I don't want to be like an alpha..." Jungkook carefully added another finger after adding more lube, making sure Jimin was okay.

"Is that still a big problem for you?"

"A bit."

"Well, then do what makes you comfortable."

"B...before I...you know...is knotting okay?"

"Yes. It's okay."

"Thank you..." Jungkook spoke quietly, pushing in another finger. Jimin winced slightly. "Good?"

"Bit more."

Jungkook leaned down to kiss the dimple on Jimin's back, keeping his hand working. "You're so good to me."

"You deserve it." Jimin exhaled calmly, Jungkook hearing it. Something inside him made him want Jimin to be vocal.

"There's no need to control your breathing like a yoga class." Jungkook furrowed his eyebrows yet again. He played around with three fingers.

"It's better to."

"Oh, what, did you look up the health benefits of sex too?"

"Maybe." Jimin spoke quietly, earning a laugh from Jungkook.

"You're silly." Jungkook finished. "Are you good? Is that enough."

"Should be. I'm good."

"Okay." Jungkook made sure there was consent one hundred percent of the time, one hundred percent of the way. Jungkook took his fingers out, before lubing himself up and pushing in slowly. "Tell me okay? Tell me if it hurts."

"Mhm..." Jimin pressed his face into the pillows. "You're good."

"Okay. Okay." Jungkook took a big breath before pushing in more. He groaned quietly, Jimin blushing harder.

Jimin shut his eyes, focusing on the new feeling. "G-good. Feels good." Jimin spoke quietly.

"Can I go further?"

"Wait a little. Let me adjust." Jimin focused on the feeling, whining when Jungkook pushed ever so slightly more. "I said wait."

"Hurts." Jungkook pouted as he spoke, moving slowly to be kind.

"Then bottom out and then let me adjust."

"I'll just move slowly."

"A-ah, okay." Jimin bit the pillow he was laying on as Jungkook pushed in all the way, immediately starting to pull out. Slow as it was, it still burned a bit. "W-wait Jungkook!"

"Gotta move...it hurts Jimin." Jungkook growled lowly, Jimin nodding. Jungkook started a slow pace, going out slowly, going in slowly, continuing the easy rhythm.

Jimin bit the pillow harder. He wanted Jungkook to focus on himself this time, wanted Jungkook to do what he wanted without Jimin deciding for him. He could feel Jungkook start to go a little faster.

"Good?"

"Yeah."

"Positive?"

"Positive."

Jungkook started to move a little faster with a quiet whimper.

"If you're in a lot of pain, you can move faster to ease it Jungkook. I'm okay."

"I don't want to hurt you." Jungkook exhaled, Jimin feeling a droplet of sweat on his back.

"You won't be. Come- come on. I'm giving you permission."

"Jimin I mean it. I'm not going to hurt you."

"And you won't." Jimin countered. "You won't hurt me."

"I'm not risking anything."

"Damn it Jungkook, just move faster! You're not going to hurt me, and you better ease your own pain." Jimin moaned quietly into the pillow as Jungkook started to speed up.

"Y-you sure?"

"Positive."

"O...okay..." Jungkook exhaled again, trying to keep himself in check. He moved at a faster pace this time, Jimin getting used to after a little bit.

"You good?"

"M'hm." Jungkook started to lose his composure, going much quicker. "You...I can't hear you."

"That's okay."

"No, I need to hear you."

Jimin panted. "I-it's okay."

"I need to hear you." Jungkook spoke lowly, making Jimin shiver. He pushed in till he bottomed out, his lips finding the back of Jimin's neck. He gave a few bites. "Jimin~ please. For me?"

Jimin shook his head, biting the pillow.

"Oh but Jimin...I want to hear you."

"You're not a spoiled brat."

"I think I am. Haven't I gotten everything I wanted?" Jungkook pushed a little further. "Will you take my knot?" Jungkook kissed more, pulling out slowly and kissing Jimin's back as well.

Jimin nodded, hiding his face in the pillow even more.

"I'm going to take that pillow away." Jungkook tsk'd, before roughly shoving in and out of Jimin, Jimin unable to hold back his moan.

"Jungkook!~"

"See? That wasn't so bad." Jungkook panted, knowing he was quite close. His lower abdomen hurt, his knot becoming painful. "Fuck. J-Jimin, you're good? O-okay?"

"I'm good." Jimin spoke weakly.

"Please, for the love of god...I want to hear you." Jungkook moved sloppily, his rhythm desperate instead of showing any skill.

Jimin gave whimpers instead, his slick pouring out.

"A-ah, at least I can tell you're enjoying it." Jungkook grit his teeth, pushing in all the way, then a little bit more before releasing and shoving his knot inside of Jimin.

"Fuck!" Jimin gasped before choking on his saliva and coughing. "J-Jungkook!"

Jungkook bit Jimin's neck, Jimin wincing a little bit. Jungkook released his bite, resting his weight on Jimin a little bit. "Mmm...fuck, I'm sorry."

"N-no you're good. Just- maybe a warning next time." Jimin whined as Jungkook adjusted himself, the two laying down together.

"You okay?"

"Yeah, yeah I'm...I'm good..."

Jungkook kissed Jimin's neck, closing his eyes. "Sorry I'm so...weird about it all. I just hate losing control."

"Next round...let me see your face."

"You sure? Won't taking my knot again be painful?"

"Naw, I'm okay. B-besides, it feels good."

"Sorry...this is all so sudden..."

"No, no, it's not a problem. Don't think of it as one. I'm content."

"You're content?"

"Of course. I care for you deeply Jungkook. Plus...of course I want to have sex with you." Jimin added they second part with a pout, his cheeks reddening.

"Ah...I wish I could see your face. I want to kiss you." Jungkook spoke lowly into the back of Jimin's neck, still giving him kisses and marks.

"Next round."

"How many are you willing to take?"

"As many as you have."

"Woah there Jimin, isn't that pushing it?"

"If you have the stamina then so do I. I'll keep up with your speed."

"Mmm." Jungkook hummed. "I feel bad."

"Don't. It feels good, and I deserve to feel good, don't I?"

Jungkook nodded quickly. "Of course! Of course you do."

"Well, then please me." Jimin smiled. Sometimes Jungkook was a little easy to persuade.

"A-am I doing good?"

"You're doing amazing." Jimin praised him, feeling Jungkook ease up, but get excited again.

"Really?"

"Really." Jimin felt Jungkook's knot release, as he pulled out with a groan. His load poured out.

"God, sorry. Let me...clean you up..." as he spoke, Jimin could hear his voice become more quiet.

"You good?"

"Yeah, just...you look really good. Let me get that towel." Jungkook got up and tried to find the towel he threw. He came back and started to clean him up.

"I didn't know you wouldn't think I look good naked." Jimin chirped, Jungkook blushing a little.

"Well, of course. You're beautiful. Always have been." Jungkook laid next to Jimin after he cleaned him, the two facing each other. He gave kisses.

Jimin laughed a little, before closing his eyes, content with being close. "Thank you. You're pretty too. Always pretty."

"Mhm." Jungkook kept giving kisses, Jimin lifting his chin for Jungkook to kiss his neck. "Not as pretty as you. God you're so pretty. I want to make you feel good and secure. Wanna make you feel good." Jungkook huffed slightly.

"Are you still in pain?" Jimin asked carefully.

Jungkook nodded a little. "It's subsided a bit, but I'm still- still you know- still in rut...plus you smell nice."

"Creep." Jimin laughed a little.

"No~ you know I didn't mean it like that."

"I know. You smell good too..." Jimin smiled, his neck feeling sufficiently marked. He started to get a little sleepy.

"Ah, you smell really good." Jungkook huffed again.

"Mm?"

"Yeah. Like...fuck, like really good." Jungkook ran his hand down Jimin's side, back, then ass, squeezing.

"Ah! J-Jungkook-"

"Yeah?" Jungkook continued, pressing their bodies together.

"F-fuck." Jimin choked a little, blushing deeply because of Jungkook's erection. "Already?"

Jungkook nodded. "You just seem to be ready, no?" Jungkook chuckled before pulling Jimin on top of him, grasping his ass with both hands now.

Jimin gasped at the contact, their naked bodies flush against each other. He gasped again, almost choking as Jungkook slid a finger inside of Jimin, his slick pouring out shamelessly.

"Oh? Nice, mm?" Jungkook hummed happily, waking up a bit. "I need my dick up your ass soon, it's getting a little painful again. You'll take my knot again?" Jungkook spoke with a smile.

Jimin nodded. "I'll take your knot again. Feels- feels good."

"Ah, good. Hopefully it's not too much."

"Feels good to be full." Jimin spoke boldly, giving a small glare at Jungkook before mewling.

"Right there?" Jungkook pressed another finger in, trying to find the spot again.

Jimin nodded. "Ah! There."

"Lemme get myself in there, I'll hit it better that way."

"H-hold up Jungkook, just keep- keep-"

"I don't want you to be empty for one second kitten." Jungkook shifted Jimin around, giving Jimin the bottle of lube. He kept his fingers moving, while Jimin poured lube on Jungkook's other hand. He prepped himself before taking his fingers out and replacing it with his dick.

Jimin felt his cheeks burn. Being able to see Jungkook was much, much different. His hair fell nicely over his forehead, his bare body seemed to glisten, but his face was what made Jimin become more rigid.

He smiled oh so kindly, but there was something different about it, something more sinister. "J-Jungkook-"

"You wanted me to please you, right?"

Jimin nodded.

"Then I'm going to do that." Jungkook smiled before starting to move. "You'll tell me if I'm going too hard, right?"

Jimin rested his legs around Jungkook's waist. "Yeah, I'll tell you." Jimin moaned quietly as Jungkook started to move quicker.

"Good. Tell me I'm doing good." Jungkook smiled at Jimin, started a much rougher pace. "Okay?"

Jimin nodded, giving in to Jungkook's small demands. "F-feels good." Jimin moaned quietly, feeling himself lose it a little. He wanted to keep his composure, make Jungkook go crazy, make him become less shy. But damn it, that was started to get difficult to do when Jungkook was so pleasantly giving his all.

"Good. Can I go more? Will that make you feel good?" Jungkook bucked his hips experimentally, Jimin gasping at the feeling.

"Fuck! Y-yes! You can go more." Jimin arched his back as Jungkook tried to find Jimin's prostate, seeing his face scrunch up as he bucked in. Jimin started to moan louder.

"Jiminie~ you sound so pretty." Jungkook looked pleased, giving Jimin a bit of confidence.

"Yeah?"

"Yeah. Real pretty." Jungkook praised Jimin, Jimin feeling bashful at the comment. Jungkook smiled wide once Jimin gasped, his back arching off of the bed.

"Jungkook!" Jimin scratched into his back, nails digging in to hold himself in place. "Jungkook, right there!"

Jungkook happily obliged, bucking his hips as much as he could, trying to find relief and trying to please Jimin. Jimin moaned loudly, fueling Jungkook with a deep fire in the pit of his stomach, his alpha wolf feeling amazing. Pleasing his omega? Amazing. His omega outwardly praising him? Outstanding. His omega, Jimin, being bashful yet shameless? How could he ask for anything more.

Jimin dug his fingernails into Jungkook's back as he started to rise up the bed, Jungkook putting more force into his thrusts. "Jungkook! Jungkook, I'm close, I'm close-" Jimin sputtered his words, his cheeks hot enough to make him embarrassed about it. But he kept his eyes open, wanting to see Jungkook's beautiful face. He wanted to see Jungkook look happy, content, and in love.

"Good, good." Jungkook smiled happily, his hair sticking to his face. "Fuck, you feel so good. Smell so good too." Jungkook growled, Jimin releasing slick at the dominance. "Fuck."

"Ah!" Jimin came, shaking slightly as Jungkook continued to hit his prostate, the overstimulation almost unbearable. "J-Jungkook!

"Jimin?"

"S-slow- ah- slow down p-please."

"Almost there!" Jungkook pleaded, Jimin nodding.

He went for a few more minutes before coming with a snarl, his knot hurting until it locked them together once again. Jungkook panted, his forehead sweaty, his back starting to ache, as Jimin rested underneath him, boneless.

"Sorry...bout that." Jimin mumbles sleepily. "I need to cut my nails."

"...'s fine. It'll leave a mark." Jungkook grinned, peppering Jimin with kisses on his face, before moving down and kissing his neck and chest. Jimin let him, the gesture kind and soft. "You smell really good."

"You're...you've gotta a lot of stamina." Jimin smiled a little sleepily.

"I run. Helps out. Didn't think it'd come in handy so quick."

Jimin gave a tired laugh. "Yeah, it came in handy alright. Oh fuck." Jimin groaned a little. "You're all sticky huh."

"That's fine too. Lemme- Lemme lay down." Jungkook shifted them so they were laying more comfortably, grunting a little. "Damn it. You ease the pain but make it come back quicker than usual."

"Sorry." Jimin still smiled, though he was tired. "Let's nap."

"But my knot?" Jungkook sounded confused and equally tired.

"You'll know when it's stopped."

"You're not uncomfortable? I'll stay awake to make you comfortable."

Jimin gave him a kiss. "I'm comfortable."

Jungkook eased, the two taking a nap.

____

Jungkook woke to his knot releasing. He saw that the sun had risen. His knot lasted way longer that time. He pulled out slowly, Jimin giving a pathetic whine.

"Morning?"

"Morning sweetheart." Jungkook gave him a kiss before pulling all the way. He slowly got up, getting the nasty towel and throwing it in the trash, before going to the bathroom and starting a bath.

Jimin whined from the bedroom. "Jungkoooook~ come back~"

"Give me a minute."

"I want to be near you." Jungkook could hear Jimin faintly.

Jungkook made sure the water was nice and warm before going back into his room, Jimin looking at him with a pout. God, he did look good against white sheets. Jungkook picked him up slowly, Jimin looking slightly in pain. He took him to the bathroom, setting him in the tub, then getting in after him. He started to clean him.

"It'll be a couple more days till it's over. I don't think you want to stay the whole time. It really doesn't ease up."

"That's okay. I wouldn't be able to go about my day knowing you're in pain when I can help."

"Jimin..." Jungkook washed Jimin's hair, making sure not to get any soap in his eyes.

"I mean it Kookie."

"Okay...I just feel a little bad. Cause when I'm in the mood, I just get carried away with making sure you're satisfied and feeling good and comfortable. But when I'm not in the alpha mindset, it's harder to do that."

"Well, then I'm glad your rut is bad. Cause then you can focus on being good to yourself faster."

"Good to myself?"

"Yeah. You focus on yourself and that's good."

"But I like focusing on you." Jungkook finished Jimin's hair then did his own.

"I think you need to focus on yourself. You were...you seemed more comfortable when you focused on yourself."

"Ah. I get it." Jungkook smiled with a small laugh. "It felt better?"

"Oh shush."

"What a week, huh?" Jungkook and Namjoon laughed as Jin made soup. Jimin was whining on the couch.

"Yeah. I um, don't know when Jimin will walk. I think his ass just hurts too much."

"That's on you! That's your fault!" Jimin bitched about it, Jungkook stifling a laugh.

Jin finished the soup, Namjoon taking it to Jimin. The other got their bowls and sat around the couches.

"Jimin, look what you did to yourself."

"Oh myself? Myself?" Jimin ate the soup angrily, shifting uncomfortably every so often.

"Oh yeah. I gave you an out every single day." Jungkook rolled his eyes.

"You better thank me I didn't leave."

"Thank you Jimin." Jungkook laughed a little as the four started to become invested in their movie.

"That's more like it."

And thank you again for @kuroshitsuji_4life again! This is the first of my 100K specials. It was very fun to write!
