"What do we do though, we can't carry him all the way back to the house" Namjoon said and Jungkook started to gently move away from the younger.

"Should we wake him up?" Hobi asked and Yoongi shook his head "He won't wake up right now anyway" he replied.

"Maybe we can piggy back in turns if we get tired" Namjoon suggested and they agreed. During the first half of their way back to the party house, it was Namjoon who carried him, then it was Jungkook's turn since they were both the most physically apt to do it.

Arriving to their cars, Jungkook put the boy in his passenger seat and closed the door, discussing the logistics with the others.

"Are you gonna take him home?" Tae asked and he shook his head.

"His mom is probably asleep and I'm not letting myself into his house like that, it's weird" he said and crossed his arms "Can you two host him?" he asked Yoongi and Namjoon but they shook their heads.

"We have guests. Can you believe mom gave them both our rooms? Now we have to sleep in the living room" Yoongi complained and Jin gasped "No way"

"Yeah mom was like oh, your rooms are big and we don't have a guest room" Namjoon added.

"Anyway. Hobi? Jin?" Jungkook asked and they apologized as well.

"I would take him to my place but my parents and Tae's generally have an after party at my house" he said thoughtfully.

When there's an after party and Tae isn't home, he has to stay at Jungkook's house until it's over before his parents take him home with them. They never trusted him with the house keys because they think either he's gonna lose them or he's gonna get the house robbed somehow.

"Well I guess I'll take him to my place anyway we don't have a choice, hopefully he won't be too mad that our parents saw him passed out" he chuckled and bid the others goodbye before driving away with Tae in the backseat.

When he arrived in front of his house, he prepared his keys and got Taehyung to help him as he carried the younger in his arms, they got in and found the house submerged in darkness "Are they asleep already?" he said and walked into his room to put the boy down on his bed.

"I don't think they're here Kook" Taehyung said and he looked back at him.

"What" he asked, trying to open his parents bedroom quietly, he was surprised to see Tae was right.

"Yeah I just checked my phone and mom texted me saying they are at mine" he replied and Jungkook hummed.

"Not gonna lie to you, I don't feel like moving Jimin anywhere right now I'm tired as fuck. I'll just drive you home" he said and did exactly that.

He drove Tae to his place and came back, finding Jimin exactly how he put him and decided to fix his awkward position a little. He removed his shoes and put him under the covers, he can't deny though that sleeping with a leather jacket and harness looks very uncomfortable.

Should I or should I not?

He decided he would try to remove the jacket at least and snaked an arm around the sleeping boy. He held his shoulders and slid the jacket off them, then tried to take the sleeves off but it was so messy that Jimin would groan and open his eyes slightly before closing them again.

When the jacket was off, Jungkook panted as if he ran a marathon. He changed into his own indoor clothes, shut the curtains, and left to brush his teeth before coming back into the room and sitting at the foot of his bed, with a duvet on his legs as he played video games. He wasn't gonna sleep until morning anyway.

A couple hours passed and Jungkook was now sitting on the bean bag by his bed, watching a movie on his laptop. At a silent moment of the movie, he heard some rustling from where Jimin was lying. He turned to find him sleepily rubbing his eyes and yawning with a hand covering his face.

Jimin then turned and locked eyes with the elder for a brief moment before closing them again.

Huh?

He opened his eyes suddenly and propped himself on his elbows, looking around the room and not recognizing a single thing.

"Good morning" Jungkook chuckled and closed his laptop.

"Where am I"

"My room"

"I'm in your bed?" he knit his eyebrows and laid back down "You didn't have to let me sleep here man.. I would've been just fine on a sofa"

"It's all good, I don't sleep early after drinking anyway, I hate sleeping drunk"

"I don't even remember falling asleep"

"Yeah I didn't notice either but it was when we were all eating"

Jimin closed his eyes again because they were a little dry "Aren't you hungover?" Jungkook asked and he clicked his tongue.

"Surprisingly not, I just need a bit of water and I'll be fine" he said, not trying to get up at all. He just kept laying and ended up sleeping for 30 more minutes.

"I think it's time for me to go home, and let you sleep on your bed it's 6:13am already" he said and got up, groaning at the harness "Man I felt this shit in my bones" he chuckled and Jungkook nodded.

"Yeah couldn't take that off you, I already struggled enough with the jacket" he smiled.

"Well can you take it off of me now?" he asked, and the other curtly nodded. He walked behind him again and fiddled with the straps behind his back, unbuckling the first. Then the second. Then the third. Then gently sliding the other two off his shoulders with his fingertips.

"Done" he said and slipped away from behind him, skipping to his hangers. Jungkook wore a coat over his hoodie and sweatpants, he picked up his car keys and unlocked it for Jimin to get in.

The younger drank from a bottle of water he found in the car and leaned his head on the window. It was dawn and it's almost funny how they found themselves driving together at that time again, lost in their own thoughts and the music in the background.

Tripping, falling with no safety net.
Boy it must be something that you said.

The last memories of the night were a little fuzzy, Jimin could recall them running, and only now did he start remembering how the rest came about. He remembered sitting with Jungkook, then talking about his girlfriend. He turned to him as he was driving and just shamelessly stared.

"Umm.. What's up?"

"Nothing"

"Why are you looking at me"

"I was wondering"

"About...?"

"Would you dye your hair?"

"No"

"Why not"

"Black looks good enough on me, I'm not trying to give any heart attacks" he smirked and Jimin whistled.

"Feeling a little cocky?"

"Stating facts"

"What color would you have dyed it if you decided to"

"Probably blonde"

"Damn you would go all the way?"

"Yeah, why though?"

"I'm gonna change this color once it fades, so I need ideas"

"You just re-dyed it orange yesterday morning, you're already thinking about that?"

"Basically"

"And what will you go for"

"I think pink" he said and Jungkook turned to him a little surprised.

"For real?"

"Yeah but like, a hot pink not the pastel one" he said and Jungkook was even more surprised.

"Oh, that's intense... Hope you can pull it off cause I already have a bunch of nicknames in mind" he said and Jimin groaned.

"Of course you do" he said and the other laughed.

"I really want to list them out but I think I'll keep it a surprise for when you get that done" he said.

"I hope you didn't go for the girly names"

"Can't promise anything" he replied and Jimin shook his head and laughed along.

Is it real this time or is it in my head.
You got me tripping, falling with no safety net.

"Later."

He was dropped off at his house and looked back briefly at the elder as he was driving off, a small smile adorning his features. He entered as silently as possible and went to his room, throwing the harness in a drawer and quickly changing before crashing in his comfy bed.

"It's been decided! After a whole semester!" Taehyung shouted from his side.

"What?"

"You will have no label"

"I don't get it" Jimin laughed.

"Yeah everyone just decided not to label you, I guess they got tired and nobody wants to lose any money" he said and Jimin laughed.

"Well I can't say I'm mad about that"

"Oh there's Ryujin" he pointed out and Jimin followed his gaze, landing on the girl who simply ignored them and entered her class.

"What's with her today, she doesn't know how relationships work?" he snorted and Jimin just smiled tightly.

"About that.. There is no relationship" Jimin started and the other looked at him confused.

"Huh? Didn't you say you were gonna ask her out back in the break? It's been almost a month" he deadpanned and Jimin sighed.

"Yeah I didn't. Actually I almost rejected her if I am to be honest"

"What the hell... You dated her for months, but you didn't make it official? She must've felt let down man... " he said with a frown on his face "That was mean of you" he added.

"I don't know what happened Tae, I was just not feeling it. I do feel some fuzzy emotions, but I lose them when I'm with her for some reason. I can't explain it" he said and Taehyung contemplated for a while.

"Do you not like being with her? Do you just like the thought of having a girlfriend?" Tae asked, trying to understand.

"It's more like, when I think about her I only feel platonic love and appreciation. Last time I was thinking about Christmas day at Joon's and I felt those emotions, you know? I remember I did, but when I try to picture her they just vanish" Jimin said and Tae knit his eyebrows in confusion.

"Do you like someone else?"

"Not that I know of"

"Well the only people there were- Oh my god!" he exclaimed and Jimin raised an eyebrow.

"What"

"For real?"

"What!" he said, feeling restless.

"You like Lisa? Dude that's crazy!" he laughed and the other rolled his eyes.

"Dawg no, she's Jeon's girl what do you mean" he denied and the other didn't believe it one bit.

"I don't buy it. Come on, try to think about her" Taehyung fussed and he shook his head.

"Nope, nothing"

"Maybe you need a clear picture" he said and pulled out her instagram account.

"Stop Tae I don't like her like that" he chuckled.

"Look closer! Cause otherwise it doesn't make sense" he tried again and the other swatted the phone away from his face.

"Just drop it, maybe I'm weird like that" he smiled, shrugging.

"I guess"

"Speaking of, any news from Jeon?"

"Nope, he's been missing in action since the party, I asked my aunt and she said he hasn't been back from campus since then" Taehyung said and he hummed.

"He hasn't been posting either, Joon said they barely talk in class" Jimin pointed out and Taehyung nodded.

"Yeah, not gonna lie to you, we're kinda used to it by now. It's gotta be something with Lisa, he pulled off the same thing last summer" Taehyung shrugged and Jimin nodded.

"Most likely, see you at lunch"

"See you"
