"And I said no" Jen shook her head.

"Come on, you loved surfing, mom" Jimin encouraged, rubbing her shoulders as she sat on the couch with a bowl of popcorn on her lap.

"A long time ago baby, I don't think I remember how to stand on a board anymore" 

"Nonsense" he disagreed, "You're coming with us this weekend and that's final" he declared.

"No Jimin let it go please" she complained, "Don't you think it would be lame to have an adult tag along on your friend trip? I don't want to embarrass you all" she whined.

"Is that why you don't wanna come?" he asked with a chuckle, "You're not embarrassing anyone, you're like- the coolest mom ever" he responded.

"I'm too old to be hanging out with college students" she insisted. 

"And what I'm saying is, it would be so fun to have you there-" Jimin attempted to convince her again before getting interrupted by the doorbell. He raised his brows and shuffled to the entrance curiously. 

"Jungkook? What are you doing here?" he asked in surprise upon opening the door.

"Good morning Cupcake" he greeted before pecking him on the lips, followed by a few barks at his feet. "I need you to petsit Tako for me please" he whispered with a sweet smile. 

"Why, where are you going?" Jimin asked while rubbing the dog's face. He stood up again and looked up at the older boy before removing lint from his t-shirt.

"I have some paperwork to get done back in Bayman" he rolled his eyes anticipating the exhausting process. 

"Oh, sure I'll take him" he nodded, "Only if you help me convince my mom to come with us on the weekend" he sighed. 

"On the surfing trip? That would be nice" Jungkook agreed.

"Well, can you tell her that? Because she's convinced she-"

"Jungkookie? Come in, why are you standing out there" Jimin's mom said when she was on her way to get a popcorn refill.

"Now's the time" Jimin nodded his head over to her retreating figure, and held the taller's wrist to pull him inside. He fetched the dog bowl in the bottom cupboards in the kitchen and filled it with water for Tako while Jungkook did as asked.

"Jen why don't you join us this weekend?" he suggested, leaning on the island with his forearms. She was putting the next bag in the microwave when she paused and turned to her son with a deadpan expression, then to his boyfriend.

"You don't need to do this Jungkookie, I will be just fine at home while you guys are out there conquering the waves" she smiled softly.

"I doubt it would be more fun though" he shrugged, "We have plenty of room in Jin's uncle's house, and you won't have to worry about driving, you can shotgun in my car" he offered before hearing Jimin clear his throat.

"Or... Not shotgun?" he asked, unsure of what he said wrong.

"The last thing I want is to trust any of you boys with a car when I'm in it. I can drive my own" she shook her head. 

"So you're coming!" Jimin beamed.

"I- No that's not what I-" she tried but her son wanted to hear none of it. 

"I'm going to surf with my mom for the first time in ages" he insisted before pressing an enthusiastic kiss on her cheek.  

"It's a done deal Jen" Jungkook chuckled with his arms crossed against his chest, looking at them with fond eyes. 

"I suppose I have some shopping to do" she conceded, pinching the youngest's side to get him to let go.

"Ouch-"

"Chim can I talk to you for a second" Jungkook asked and tilted his head to the direction of his room before walking there. He sat on the boy's bed and waited for him to close the door before speaking.

"As much as I love the idea of your mom coming with us, I can't imagine her being okay with the boys'... lifestyles" he scrunched his nose, looking back at the younger who laid flat on the mattress.

"It's only a weekend, I'm sure Hobi can find a better spot to smoke his weed than inside the house" Jimin rolled his eyes, "It's not like we were planning to party hard either" he mentioned, turning on his side and resting his forearm under his head for support.

"That's true" Jungkook shrugged.

"Besides, she's a lot younger in spirit than she lets on" he smiled, "Honestly she might have been a Hobi herself back in the day" he wiggled his brows.

"No way" the tattooed boy smirked in amusement. 

"That's what I'm saying" Jimin chuckled. "Also what were you thinking inviting her to shotgun earlier?" he scolded.

"Why"

"She would ban me from getting in your car if she saw how you drove" he scoffed as if it was the most obvious thing. 

"Well, sorry to break this to you but we're going to be three cars in one highway, she'll see how I drive anyway" he laughed.

"Or, you could be a responsible person for once, and not do crazy things on the road" Jimin countered.

"Fine, I'll try" Jungkook rolled his eyes before standing up and watching him do the same. "I have to go now, but I'll be back by evening. Do you want to go out for dinner then?" he invited, taking his hands in between their bodies. 

"Yeah, sounds nice" Jimin smiled and pressed a kiss on his lips before letting him leave the house. 

That would be the latest of a handful of dates they had since getting together, and things have been going near perfect, if not for the little arguments Jimin had the pleasure to start every now and then.

It was now the middle of the summer, the weather hot as ever and their schedules free of commitments. A couple of weeks ago the older boys had officially graduated and held their diplomas in front of a crowd of friends and family. Jimin was happy to be invited and watched his best friends and boyfriend get the recognition they deserved for the 4 years of hard work, and helped organize a flamboyant celebratory party with Yoongi and Taehyung. 

All while keeping their new relationship secret.

In fact, they were warming up to the idea of telling everyone lately. It was becoming harder to conceal and they didn't exactly want to try anymore. This was working, they were working, so they no longer needed to be anxious about the aftermath of splitting apart.

"Did you pack your sunscreen?" Jen asked before sitting on the driver seat with the door open. 

"Yes mom" Jimin sighed, tired to be answering the umpteenth question of that sort. 

"I'm going with Mrs.Park" Taehyung announced and left Hoseok with his arms up in confusion.

"Thought you were riding with us!" he called after him. 

"Changed my mind" he smiled and got inside the larger car. 

"I think I'm going with them too" Jin added and followed Taehyung. 

"Well, I'll be caught dead before sitting in the backseat of Kook's car if I have another choice" Yoongi mumbled, "Hobi, I'll go with you" he said.

"I'm shotgunning, lil bro" Namjoon stated and claimed the said seat. 

"Whatever" he shrugged.   

And so they organized themselves for the 4 hour trip. In one car Taehyung engaged in all sorts of conversation with Jimin's mom, talking about his future plans after getting admitted into Alford and his favorite movies at the moment, while Jin slept in the back.

"Oh my! That car just flew past me did you see it?" Jen asked, surprised to see someone overtake her despite the speed she was driving at. 

"Hm? I saw nothing" Taehyung innocently shook his head, glad there was a bit of traffic where that very familiar car quickly blended. 

"Jeon! You've done it now!" Jimin scolded, grabbing onto his seat for dear life. It seems no matter how many times the older did this stunt, he could never get used to it. 

"It reminds me of when we first drove together" Jungkook laughed, stealing short glances at his  boyfriend while staying focused on the road. 

"My mom was right there, she saw you for sure" he huffed, "What are you going to say when she tells us to break up and never see each other again" he fussed.

"Oh wow that's a whole other dimension" he raised his brows in amusement, "Don't worry baby I'm not going nowhere" he reassured, finding it so funny to see him freak out.

"Was that Kook?" Namjoon asked while scrolling through his phone for another song to play.

"No no no, you're the one who said you didn't want it anymore so I took it" Yoongi argued with his finger pointed at the driver. 

"In which world is this acceptable? What if I stop by one day and take that bicycle you don't want in your garage" Hoseok responded back. 

"Honestly have at it" Yoongi shrugged.

"Well I had different plans for that jacket" he countered.

"And it looks better on me, get over it" Yoongi stubbornly replied. 

"You guys wanna listen to RnB?" 

"Shut up Joon" they both snapped. 

They arrived to their destination tired and in need of a good stretch, apart from Jin who was fully rested in fact. They took their luggage inside and began splitting the rooms they will be staying in during the three nights. 

"My mom gets her own" Jimin stated.

"Of course. That leaves us with three rooms and a couch" Hobi nodded.

"I'll share one with Chim" Jungkook announced.

"Okay, I'll go with Hobi" Namjoon added.

"Wait, we're deciding just like that? I-" Yoongi began to say.

"Me and Tae" Jin interrupted, leaving the last boy no time to protest.

"You bitches..." he narrowed his eyes in deception.  

"You got made Yoongs, be faster next time" Jungkook teased with a pat on his shoulder. 

That evening, they went out for a walk along the beach, stopping for some ice cream that Jen treated them to, then went back home and ordered pizzas for dinner. They decided to watch the latest best movie at the time and Mrs. Park was the first to call it a night, and it was certainly the better decision since they were to be up early to go surfing. 

"Wake up" Jimin whispered into the back of his boyfriend's neck while brushing through his hair. He watched the bigger boy stir and turn to face him, then close his eyes again to get more rest. 

"Come on we need to get ready" he insisted, poking his fingertip into his chest to keep him from falling asleep.

"We can go surfing tomorrow" Jungkook replied, grabbing his hand and keeping it still by his chest.

"And that's what you'll say tomorrow as well when you don't feel like waking up" Jimin sighed.

"Didn't know you could see the future"

"Alright get up Kook, get up right now" he chuckled while wiggling his hand out of the other's. He raised himself on his knees then jumped onto Jungkook, knocking the air out of his lungs for a second. 

"Hate when you do this" Jungkook groaned and tried to push him off, the little struggle quickly turning into a short play fight.

"Now that you're fully awake, let's go" Jimin giggled before getting out of bed. 

They freshened up and were making their way downstairs when they saw Yoongi folding his sheets. 

"How was your night buddy?" Jungkook asked and received nothing but a glare in return. 

"He's not a morning person" Hoseok chuckled from the kitchen. 

"Good morning Hobi. What are you making?" Jimin said and looked at the counter to find it empty. 

"Air. There's nothing in the house right now, so we're gonna have to stop by the convenience store later" he informed.

"Did you check the pantry?" Jin said when he overheard their conversation, he was practically dragging a half-asleep Taehyung to the bathroom.

"The pantry... Forgot they had one of those in this house" Hoseok nodded in recollection and walking to the said door. 

"Rich people things" Namjoon hummed. 

"Good morning everyone!" Jen greeted with all her bubbly energy, even this early in the morning. 

"Hi mom" Jimin replied and kissed her cheek. 

"Want some cereal Mrs.Park?" Hoseok shook the box in his hand. 

"I'm more of a pancake person... Do they have a mix in there?" she asked and peaked at the well organized shelves. 

"I've seen one" he replied.

"Perfect" she nodded and took it to the kitchen.

A light breakfast it was, between the different options on the table, each had what they preferred. They were at the dining table silently eating or exchanging a few lines here and there, and quite frankly, it felt like a new experience for Jen. 

The setting was strange and it took her back to her own college years where she would take spontaneous trips like these with her own friends. Except this time she didn't exactly fit in the picture, and as much as she loved her son for trying to include her in his plans, maybe this wasn't his brightest idea. 

"Tae, the syrup please" Namjoon asked.

"Too far"

"Come on man"

"Where's that large wingspan you were talking about" Taehyung grinned.

"It's going to reach over and slap you if you don't pass the syrup" he threatened. 

"Alright damn" he muttered, triggering some laughter.

Their first surfing session together was exciting for some and not so much for others. Taehyung having never stood on a board before was afraid he'll be terrible at it, and Namjoon who had tried already knew he was going to be terrible at it, but the beach was never a wrong place to pick up a vacation date so he went anyway.

"That is such a stupid plan" Yoongi scoffed, "How is embarrassing yourself gonna do you any good" he shook his head at the absurdness.

"Worry about yourself Yoongs" he rolled his eyes.

"I think everybody will be too focused on me to notice any of you" Jin asserted, grinning triumphantly. 

"Handsome boy is going to take the beach by a storm huh?" Hoseok commented before hooking an arm around his friend's wide shoulders.

"You said it" they chuckled together while walking out the house.

"Where's JK?" Taehyung asked before jumping on Jimin's back as they made it down the stairs. "Don't drop me Chim I will kill you" he warned.

"He's almost done" Jimin informed, and as if on cue, the tall boy came out of their shared room in his shorts and compression long sleeve shirt. He walked down the stairs and jokingly shook the two boys out of balance. 

"Jungkook!" Jimin screeched, and Taehyung hopped off his friend's back before jumping on his cousin's and squeezing him in a chokehold.

"Everybody ready to go?" the mom asked when she made it to the foyer again, shyly adjusting the hem of her shorts.

"Damn Mrs.Park, looking great in that surfing suit" Namjoon complimented with a dimpled smile.

"Thank you" she bashfully smiled.

"You're gonna get a lot of attention Mrs. Park" Hoseok joined and chuckled as her face flared.

"Shut up both of you" she slapped their backs walked ahead to hide her embarrassment.

They rented their boards and the waves started to look bigger the closer they got. Jin was clearly a regular in the surfing scene since he climbed the waves like a pro, making everybody look bad. Somewhere between the countless slaps of salt water he received in the face and the chasing he did after his surfing board, Taehyung gave up on the sport and decided to wait for the others while sun bathing on the sand.

"Oh, oh!" Jimin waved his arms trying to regain his balance only to find himself in the water again. He kicked himself back up and sat on the wooden surface with his legs in only.

"Struggling a bit?" Jungkook asked after seeing his boyfriend fall yet another time. He was laying on his board and swimming closer with his arms until reaching him.

"This is harder than I remember" he huffed. 

"You were doing well at first" he smiled, sitting the same way to face him.

"What about you? Tired already?" he asked in return, shortly distracted by the sound of Namjoon splashing into one of the waves.

"I was never good at this either to be honest, but it sounded fun to try after so long" Jungkook shrugged, "Especially since you were so excited about it" he added.

"You look like a pro, you know?" Jimin commented, noticing his effortless surfer demeanor. 

"Do I?" he wondered out loud.

"You have the body to be one at least" he nodded, looking down the older's covered torso.

"You think so?" he baited for more compliments while a sly smirk stretched his lips.

"You knew what you were doing by wearing that" Jimin rolled his eyes.

"Maybe I had a feeling a compression shirt would look nice on me" he mentioned with a light shrug.

"It does" Jimin confirmed, "And all those other girls seem to think so as well" he added, tilting his head to the group of friends on the shallow side.

"You could show them how taken the hot surfer is" Jungkook suggested, pulling his surfboard closer. 

"I would be showing everyone that" Jimin emphasized, looking at their friends not so far. 

"I thought you were okay with it" 

"I am... Just, at the right time" Jimin nodded, "They're gonna start acting different once we tell them" he sighed.

"Why would they?"

"They'll start bailing to give us alone time, and not want to hang out in fear of third-wheeling" he listed, "I don't want things to be awkward, I mean it's our last summer all together probably" 

"You're so cute, do you know that?" Jungkook chuckled.

"Get up boys! The session is not over yet" Jen shouted from the base of a wave she was riding.

That afternoon, they all went to a beach bar that promised good music and the best Pina Coladas to enjoy the sunset, and if Namjoon bet on finding a vacation date, he certainly wasn't joking. 

"Can Joon stop being a slut?" Yoongi muttered bitterly.

"Hater" Hoseok clicked his tongue.

"Hey beautiful, can I buy you a drink?" a boy around their age said to the lady in the group, catching everybody's attention.

"Umm" she looked around in confusion, "No thank you" she replied with a shy smile.

"Is one of them your boyfriend?" he asked, barely sparing the boys a glance.

"Oh they're- no" she shook her head in dismissal.

"Well if you don't want a drink can I still get your number?" he insisted. 

"She said she's not interested" Jimin reminded from where he stood, his tone fully defensive.

"What's it to you. I don't think you're her type bro" the stranger pursed his lips mockingly. 

"You're talking to my mom" Jimin countered and watched his eyebrows rise in surprise before he held his hands up in surrender.

"Ooh my bad" he lightly chuckled, "For all it's worth you look amazing ma'am" he complimented again and walked away, leaving Yoongi to whistle at the interaction.

"We weren't lying" Hoseok pointed out and Jen broke into a laugh while throwing her body against his shoulder, completely taken aback by the event.

It was finally time for bed. They were all tired from waking up early and engaging in quite the physical activity that morning, so after dinner, very few were the ones still willing to stay up until late.

"We have to wake up early" said Jin, reminding them of their planned schedule.

"About that, I won't be joining the surfing squad anymore" Taehyung denied, having had his share that first time. 

"But it's a surfing trip" Jin cocked a brow.

"Well, without me" he shrugged and sipped his soda. 

"Me too" Jimin nodded, "I think I'd rather just go for a normal swim later" 

"Same" Jungkook joined, not having a preference as long as he got to be with his boyfriend. 

"I have a breakfast date so I'm not coming either" Namjoon announced. 

"Oh that sounds lovely" Jen excitedly responded, "Is it the girl you were talking to at the bar?" she asked and he confirmed. 

"Who do I count on then? Yoongi and Hobi, you're in?" Jin asked.

"Yeah, dumbass and I have a bet going on, whoever climbs the most waves successfully gets to keep the jacket" Yoongi said. 

"What jacket?" Jimin asked.

"Oh you don't wanna know" Namjoon groaned at the memory of his 4 hour trip.

"So far I'm leading" Hoseok gloated.

"Not for long" Yoongi countered.

"Fun! Do you want to compete with me Jinnie?" the mother asked, scooping one more portion of diced fruits into the individual bowls and serving it the the said boy. They continued discussing the suggestion, and called it a night after reaching an agreement.

Yoongi was left to his couch and everyone entered their respective rooms, in one of which was Jimin, sprawled on the bed with his eyes closed, glad to be in a horizontal position again. He felt the bed dip and turned his head to see Jungkook supporting himself on his elbows and looking down at him.

"I might need a little more space than you're giving me" he stated, a small smile on his lips.

"Oop sorry" he scooted away and laid on his side.

"Are you enjoying the trip?" Jungkook asked, settling himself in as well. 

"I am, except the parts where I'm not" he answered, making his eyebrows twitch.

"Why not?"

"Because I know who I'm dating and I understand why you get the attention you get, but I don't like it" he truthfully admitted.

"I love when you're possessive like this" Jungkook raised his brows in excitement. "At the same time it's also your fault" he pointed out.

"Well if you were a little uglier I wouldn't have to think about this" Jimin rolled his eyes, making him chuckle. 

"Do you even realize that some guys were checking you out today?" he inquired. 

"Really? When?"

"At the bar. I think standing up to that dude made his friends notice you a little more than I'm okay with" he recalled, "And I didn't get to do anything about it because you're afraid we're going to get proper couple considerations from our friends" he complained.

"Okay fine! We'll tell them" he conceded.

"And I can kiss you in public?" 

"Yeah"

"And I can tell you I love you in public?" 

"Ew so cheesy" Jimin objected, contradicted by the blush on his smiling face. "Yes" he nodded and kissed the other's lips. The shy starting peck soon became bolder, and eventually turned into a heated make-out session. He hooked his hand around his neck, pulling him closer as the taller's strong arm curved over his waist.

Jungkook leaned further in, pushing him on his back and letting his knees support him as he hovered. He dipped his head into the crook of Jimin's neck, nuzzling against it and pressing passionate kisses, smothering the soft skin the same way his hand caressed the younger's thigh, pulling it up to latch onto his waist.

There were times when Jimin was so anxious about being intimate with the older boy, afraid of not doing things right, not being enough, but when it actually happened now, Jungkook always made him feel more comfortable than he thought he could be. In over a month of being together, they managed to break quite a few walls, melt their insecurities and give into each other more easily. They hadn't gone all the way because Jimin thinks there were still some bridges to cross for him, but his boyfriend was ever so patient and he was grateful for it. Jungkook never pushed him beyond his limits, rather let him redefine them himself. 

"You're quieter than usual" Jungkook whispered at the lack of sighs and pitched breaths he was used to.

"We don't have the house for ourselves so I don't want to make too much noise" he replied, carding his fingers through his hair.

"I doubt you can be loud enough for anybody to hear" he replied.

"What is that supposed to mean?" he smiled in amusement. 

"You're always so shy to voice out how you feel when I'm touching you" he elaborated, "And before you say anything, I love it" he nodded reassuringly.

"You do?" Jimin licked his lips.

"I love that the cute little quiet sounds are only for me to hear" he teased while his hand traveled up and down Jimin's side soothingly. 

"Good" he replied, "Are we gonna carry on or..." he muttered suggestively. 

"Come here" Jungkook deeply chuckled before pulling him closer by the hips and continuing down his chest. He raised his shirt to reveal his summer tanned skin and slightly contracting muscles, then mouthed over the middle until reaching his waistband. 

"Watch and learn" he said. 

"I've been watching and learning, it's about time I actually do it now" Jimin pointed out while his fingers carded through the older's hair, keeping his face up for eye contact. 

"Hm?" Jungkook hummed in amusement, "Are you sure you want to?" he asked while excitement began pooling in his gut at the thought.

"What do you think?" Jimin defied.

"Can you do it as good as I showed you?" he asked again, pulling on the waistband with his teeth while his chin rubbed something sensitive along the way, eliciting the exact blissful breaths he missed. 

"Maybe I need a last minute crash course" Jimin caved, loving the feeling of Jungkook's hot breath over his nether region. And when the crash course ended, although he was utterly spent and ready for slumber, he delivered what he promised. 

"Just like that Cupcake" Jungkook grumbled, his head thrown back while Jimin peered up at him from where he kneeled on the ground, his hands gripping his hip and thigh as he tried to take more length. 

He realized his appreciation for Jungkook's deep voice reached different highs tonight. 

---

The next day, Jenah was just coming out of her shower when she walked by one of the boys' rooms. Hoseok must've forgotten to close the door because they were now sharing an intense eye contact, right after he took a puff from his joint. He slowly blew out the smoke as she silently stared, then cleared his throat. 

"It's... Medicated." he lied and she scoffed, then walked away with a shake of her head.

The third and last day they spent at the beach, swimming and sunbathing before they had to drive back home. Namjoon had refused to ride with the two petty children-- as he called them, and switched places with Jin who would fall asleep anyway.

Thank you all 🥰

A few weeks went by since their surfing trip, during which Jungkook had to leave town for a few days to find a place to stay when he begins his job. A new city, a new home, a new life for Jungkook to fit into away from everything he was once familiar with. He went through this before when he was starting college in Bayman, so in retrospect he knows it's only passing, but it seems impossible at the moment.

The summer was ending and his time with his boyfriend was running out, so making a brief trip like this one seem like the biggest waste of time. They stayed connected through the phone, chatting and calling whenever he had time to spare, with the promise of returning as soon as he finds a decent lease to sign. 

He had one week left once he finished his apartment hunt, and true to his promises, the two stayed glued at the hip the entire time he was home. When they hung out with the others, you would always find them in their own world, snuggled into each other or laughing about their inside jokes. And maybe, Namjoon started to believe Jungkook when he said he was holding back. 

Yoongi
BB game this weekend?

Jin
No

Yoongi
You're not even in town why do you care?

Jeon009
Let's skip it then

Chim
I know what we should do! 

Jimin sat up straight on the bed and turned to the older boy excitedly, building suspense both in the chat and in real life. 

"Are you gonna say what it is?" Jungkook asked before pausing their movie. 

Jin
??

"Remember when I told you I went to a funfair years ago in my old town?" Jimin asked, nudging him on the arm continuously. 

"Where you bumped into the older boy and almost believed it was me?" he teased. 

"First of all, you're annoying. Second of all, that funfair is open at this time, should we look into it?" he suggested and grabbed his phone from the charger, starting to type away on the browser.

Jeon009
Cupcake is looking into a summer funfair in his old town

Jin
Oh!! He mentioned it once

TaeTae
I wanna go I wanna go

Jeon009
Wait we're still looking for info
Hopefully it's still on

Still 10 days until closing

Yoongi

Let's make it memorable

Hobi

Yoongi

Hobi
You're a horrible human being

Yoongi

Hobi

RM
With your cuteness?

Hobi

Jeon009

Jin

Hobi

Yoongi
Good job tagging me 
Your message would've been lost in the SPAM otherwise

TaeTae
@Jin Is that picture from your Master's applications photoshoot?

Hobi
You had one and didn't tell me??? @Jin
I just used some old pictures that don't even look nice 😩

It had been years since most of them had stepped into an amusement park or a funfair like this one. The dazzling lights blinking and spinning as the rides accelerated contrasted with the dark night sky, and competed to fill their eyes with countless stars. The music specific to each area blended with the children's excited screams and laughter. The air drifted carrying the mouth-watering aromas of sizzling hotdogs, fluffy cotton candy, caramel apples and donuts. It all made their inner children dance.

"Cotton candy is on me" Taehyung offered to start the night, enthusiastically skipping to the stall with the shortest line.

They watched with wide eyes as the man made their treats, one after the other receiving the different designs and comparing them. Yoongi looked at his and smirked triumphantly over it being the nicest one so far, eager to try it already.

"Look at Yoongi's!" Hoseok pointed at the unicorn horn cloud of sugar, carefully crafted by the vendor with different colors and most the details required. 

"You like it that much? Are you 5?" Yoongi scoffed, "Here, you can have it" he shrugged as though it didn't matter to him.

"I knew you loved me" Hoseok laughed, hooking an arm around his shoulder and pulling him in closer.

"Let's start slow with the rides guys" Jin requested.

"Should we do the adult wagon?" Namjoon suggested, pointing at the mini rollercoaster.

And so the fun began, one treat here, another there, at some point they split apart due to a disagreement on the attractions, then found each other again shortly. Taehyung had written a checklist full of things he wanted to do before arriving, and was surely crossing one line off at a time

"Excuse me if I don't wanna bump into myself" he complained when Namjoon told him to walk faster in the mirror castle. 

"That's the fun of it!" 

Just a few mirror blocks away, two of their friends were investigating their way through, or at least that was the plan before they found themselves wrapped in each other's arms. Jungkook had picked Jimin up to lock his legs around his waist while his back rested flush against one of the mirrors, and let him hook his arms over his shoulders for support.

"We shouldn't do this here" Jimin heaved a breath, his skin tingling from the kisses on his neck.

"Why did you start it then?" Jungkook smirked.

"Touché" he quietly giggled and stole a long kiss from him. 

The look in Jungkook's eyes as they chose to get lost in his, the smile on his lips that he reserved him only, it was all real, he wasn't imagining it, and it was somewhere between the infinite reflections of them that he realized that. The mirrors showed him that the love he's ever only dreamed of was right in front of him and he never felt more alive.

That's the fun of it! They heard from somewhere near, making them break apart with a chuckle and continue their maze solving mission. 

"What." Jimin asked when Yoongi's judgemental eyes adverted from him to Jungkook iteratively. He brushed through his hair in case it was messy, unaware of the fresh hickeys the older had just put on him.

"Come on Yoongi don't be a prude" Jungkook laughed, nudging his shoulder.

"I miss when y'all were single" he said and walked away.

"Let's go" the taller said before intertwining their hands. Jimin looked up at him and smiled before fishing his phone from his pocket.

Me
Are you home tonight mom?

"Cupcake, a claw machine!" Jungkook pointed, "Do you want me to win you something?" he offered, his excited grin indicating it was more for himself than anyone. 

"No thank you" Jimin replied with a knowing smirk.

"Why not? Anyone would love their boyfriend to gift them a plushy" he insisted.

"Since I'm nice I don't want you to waste effort in that" he shrugged with an innocent smile.

"It's fine, I'll do it for you"

"You just want to play" 

"So? Choose one and don't be annoying" Jungkook rolled his eyes. 

"You're adorable Jeon" Jimin giggled, pinching his cheek while they both approached the idle machine. 

He regretted agreeing to this very soon though since he was now standing through Jungkook's 30th try, 30th failure at catching the plush toy, not because he always missed but because he never caught the one Jimin preferred. 

"Baby, any of them will be just fine" Jimin complained after he saw him willingly drop yet another toy.

"No, you said the yellow one, I'll get you the yellow one" he stubbornly disagreed. 

"I'm gonna go find the others, okay? Join me when you're done" he sighed and asked the group chat for their location. 

"One more, and I'll be there" Jungkook insisted and watched him leave.

Cupcake
Where are you??

Me
On my way
You're still in line for the Ferris Wheel?

Cupcake
If you don't get here in time to ride it together I'm breaking up with you

Me
I'll grow wings

Cupcake
You'd better 

"Finally, did you get the toy even?" Jimin sighed at the sight of his breathless boyfriend. 

"Nope" Jungkook shook his head making him roll his eyes. 

"All that for nothing, I told you to give it up but you insisted on wasting time-" Jimin complained.

"Well I'm here now, aren't I? I got you chocolates" he said, handing him the small fun box. 

"Thank you" Jimin immediately smiled as if he wasn't just about to start another argument. They sat in their booth and Jimin opened the package to taste the chocolate-dipped pretzels, waiting for the ride to begin. "Want one?" he asked, while extending the gift between them. 

"No thanks" he smiled and hooked his arm around his shoulder to pull him closer. "Let's take a picture" he said as he clicked on the camera app on his phone. The two took many of those in all sorts of ways, including their kiss at the top, and left the ride with all the right memories. 

Despite the boys' peaking levels of energy, came a time when there was nothing left for them at the fair, time to go back home. They walked to where they parked their cars, hands full of goodies and more snacks from the stands, then split into the group they first came in. 

"I'm glad you remembered this funfair existed" Jungkook smiled as he looked up at the green light and continued driving. 

"But it's over, and you're driving me home, and it kinda comes out, as I get up to go" Jimin sang along with the music blasting in the car. 

"Glad you're having fun" 

"You kiss me in your car, and it feel like the start of a movie I've seen before" he continued, completely acting out the lyrics as he put his hand over the side of the taller's head. 

"You listen to the cutest music baby" he chuckled at the other.

"But it's not real, and you don't exist, and I can't recall the last time I was kissed. It hits me in the car, and it feels like the end of a movie I've seen before" Jimin continued, grabbing at his chest painfully and making the other knit his brows. 

"Damn, you really look like you're going through it" Jungkook wondered, impressed. "As if I'm not literally right here"

"You weren't always right here Jeon" Jimin said with a soft smile, thinking about the summer before and how he was left feeling exactly how the song said. Nevertheless, it was a new chapter for them now, he thought as he looked at Jungkook kiss the back of his hand in acknowledgement. 

Mom
No baby it's game night in the Kim household
I'm staying over

When Jungkook stopped at his house, he leaned in for a goodnight kiss which Jimin gladly returned, but wasn't expecting the hesitance in his eyes afterwards. He tried to read them, for Jimin always loved to be understood without a word, but this was maybe a little too difficult.

"What is it?" he asked.

"Stay the night" Jimin replied, leisurely fiddling with Jungkook's fingers as their hands remained linked between their bodies.

"I'd love to, but your mom-"

"She's not here" Jimin shook his head in reassurance, gulping a ball of nerves down. 

"Sure, okay" he nodded, slightly confused with the sudden tension building between them. He stopped the car and waited for Jimin to unlock the door before following him inside. 

"I'm gonna miss this place" Jungkook sighed, looking around for what may be his last time in at least a few weeks. 

"Really?" Jimin absentmindedly replied, his mind bustling with different ways to say what he actually wants to say.

"Yeah I mean I was here so many times..." Jungkook replied, mentioning a few of the memories he has in this house and completely missing Jimin's stressed expression. He walked past him to the bedroom and opened the closet where he knew he left some indoor clothes for sleepovers and such. But just as he was about to start changing, he noticed Jimin staying still against the closed door. 

"You're acting weird what's going on" he pointed out finally, throwing the clothes on the desk and standing with his hands on his hips.

"Am I?" he awkwardly chuckled, peeling himself off the door and walking towards the older to hold his hands. "I want to do it" he admitted, his cheeks flushed and heart hammering against his ribcage, while the other closed his eyes and let out a long sigh.

"You should've said this back in the car instead of letting me talk about the cookout and whatnot" he muttered, not believing himself. "I hope I didn't kill the mood?" he asked and rested their foreheads together. 

"No, I wasn't listening anyway" Jimin giggled. 

"Good. Perfect." Jungkook scoffed and tilted his head to capture his lips. Their excitement from what's about to ensue quickly making the kiss a lot needier, more passionate, and Jimin didn't fail to show his desire by pressing himself impossibly close to the taller boy, arching into him while the latter's expert hands groped the right places on his body.

Skin against skin, heart to heart, they laid on the bed building up their lust for one another with purposeful touches and wet kisses. Jungkook's tongue and teeth remembered all of his boyfriend's sweet spots and he diligently explored each and every one of them, from his nipples to his inner thighs. 

"Jungkook" the younger breathed, becoming restless, too aroused to continue this foreplay. He called him up to eye level again and switched their positions to find himself on top, straddling him and intentionally pressing his hips down for more friction. 

"We need a condom" Jungkook remembered, keeping his hands his boyfriend's ass. 

"Don't have any" Jimin shook his head. 

"I do, in the car" he informed, "Give me one second baby" he requested with a short kiss before gently pushing him off. "Meanwhile, take that off for me, yeah?" he winked with a vague motion to his underwear.

True to his words, it took no time for him to return with the plastic package in his hand. He threw it on the bed and crawled back on top of his naked boyfriend, whose beautiful body was all his for the night. 

"Why are your pants still on" Jimin asked after noticing them. 

"Fair point" he nodded and kicked them off, then reached for the nightstand where he knew Jimin kept the lube. 

"Do we have to do that before?" Jimin sighed, impatient as always.

"Trust me I wish we wouldn't have to" Jungkook chuckled and poured some on his fingers. "Just like the other day okay?" he assured in case Jimin was nervous, then looked down at his crotch and hummed, "Maybe a little more this time actually" he smiled. 

"Two was already borderline for me" Jimin whined.

"But if I don't try more it will be painful for you later" Jungkook explained, "Don't worry, I'll be gentle" he kissed his cheek and went in with the first finger, feeling the warm muscles wrap around his skin and mold it perfectly, sending his mind into a frenzy of how it would feel around his dick instead. 

"Is this okay?" he asked again after he heard him hiss at the third one, unsure if it was pain or pleasure, but it seems the other didn't know the answer to that himself, it was a mix of both and a rather enjoyable one. 

"I'm ready" Jimin announced when the buzzing heat started pooling in his gut only from the preliminary action. 

He let Jungkook position his limbs however he wanted them and held onto his back while he adjusted himself. Then he felt it, and wished he asked for a fourth finger instead. Jungkook's low moan resonated in his ear while his hot breath fanned on his sultry skin, making him forget what was happening for a split second, until it didn't. 

"Fuck" Jungkook grunted when Jimin clenched around him subconsciously. "Cupcake relax, relax baby" he hushed, pressing a few butterfly kisses against his cheek and neck to calm his nerves. "That's it, you're doing so well" he reassured, staying still for the younger to adjust.

"It's weird" Jimin commented, blowing out a shaky breath as he tried his best not to think about the pain. 

"I know" he nodded, "You're so beautiful" he whispered while gently smoothing the crease between his eyebrows with his thumb, distracting him with sweet talk as he waited.

"I love you" Jimin responded, cupping his face to claim his lips, his heart full from even having the older like this. He felt him begin to move slowly as they kissed, giving him a first feel of things and staying alert for any complaint Jimin might have.

"Tell me if it hurts" Jungkook reminded again, he'd much rather stop than leave the younger with a bad memory of their first time.

"Keep going" he instead replied, his ragged breathing giving the other all the encouragement he needed, and now, Jungkook knows the tears in his eyes aren't what he feared them to be.

"Baby you feel so good" he moaned in his ear as he thrusted, slow and deep as the muscles throbbed against his length. He pushed himself up slightly when he received no response, and looked down to find Jimin biting his bottom lip as though to keep quiet, his eyebrows arched and eyes shut. Art itself has never looked so good.

"You like this?" Jungkook asked, grazing his teeth on his earlobe for a reaction and hearing a quiet whimper in return.

"Tell me Cupcake, say it" he tried again, moving his hand down to his chest and playing with his nipple. 

"I like it" Jimin uttered with a nod of his head, "Faster... Please" he requested and Jungkook gladly complied, picking up his pace and giving him the sensations he deserved, while making a mental note of things he wanted to try another time. 

Jimin pleading for him sounded particularly enticing, he thought to himself, when a sharper hum caught his attention. Did he finally find his spot? he wondered as he repeated the exact same movement and felt the younger's fingers squeeze his arm and shoulder tighter. 

"Always so quiet" he mumbled before capturing his lips. The lewd smacking sounds from their sloppy kiss added to their arousal, and the feeling of their tongues gliding against each other's intoxicated their minds further. 

Jungkook brought his thumb to Jimin's jaw, gently pushing it down to keep his lips parted, "I'll need you to be a bit louder for me this time baby" he said before catching him off guard with a stronger thrust right where it made Jimin see stars, making an obscene moan erupt from his throat. It was the final nail for him, his stomach contracted and muscles clenched as he reached his climax, until relaxing at once.

The sound of his voice and the look on his face as he came undone seemed to push Jungkook over the edge, the feeling of being sucked in as he orgasmed triggered his own, and it only took a couple more thrusts before he finished, slowly riding the high as he smothered his boyfriend with more kisses. 

"Why didn't we do this sooner" Jimin said after both regained their breaths and slightly cleaned themselves, laying together with their hands linked over Jungkook's chest. He was upset with himself for being so afraid before, even when he knew there was nothing to be afraid of. And now, Jungkook was leaving and they won't have the chance to experience this again in a while.

"I think the timing was perfect" Jungkook disagreed, "You were completely sure this way" he smiled, softly running his fingers over his naked arm. 

"I don't think I can let you leave tomorrow" Jimin shook his head, snuggling closer and making him chuckle. 

"You know what I think?" Jungkook started as he repositioned himself on his side to face him. "We keep coming back to each after everything that happens between us" he said, intertwining their fingers as he looked deeply into his eyes.

"Do we?" he knowingly asked, baiting the train of thoughts.

"You fell for me, we fell apart, then we went back to being friends" he reminded, "And look at us now, tangled up in your bed" he smiled. 

"Are you having any regrets?" Jimin inquired.

"None, are you?"

"I should... You're leaving again to pursue you career miles a way. The last thing we should be doing is this" he sighed, "But I still don't. I wouldn't change a thing if I could" he shook his head reassuringly before pressing a peck on Jungkook's emoji tattoo.

"If I knew things would turn out this way I would've made the decision to stay" Jungkook knit his brows, "In fact I can still do that" he suggested.

"No... It's no use forcing things with you. You said it yourself, we keep coming back to each other" Jimin smiled.

"Do you think we could make it work long distance?" he asked, ready to try on his side.

"I think we could" he nodded, "I was just thinking we're some sort of soulmates" he giggled.

"Yeah?" Jungkook returned the fond smile and held him closer to his chest. 

The next morning Jungkook had to leave a little early to finish packing his last minute belongings and load his uncle's truck, which his father would be driving so that he could return the vehicle once everything was set up. 

And so, Jimin waited with a heavy heart for the text that meant it was time to say goodbye, he gripped his phone in his hand once the username showed up on his notification bar and sighed when the Mustang honk reached his ears.

"Are you still in pain?" Jungkook asked while they sat on the porch.

"A tiny bit" he nodded and shrugged, "Nothing compared to what's in here" he pointed to his chest, making him sigh and bring his head closer to press a kiss on the top.

"We'll see each other Cupcake, you won't feel the time passing before I'm at your door again" he promised before standing up. 

"Jungkookie, have a safe trip and take care of yourself. Here, I baked these for you yesterday" Jen said before giving him a Tupperware full of car shaped cookies. He chuckled and hugged her while muttering "Thank you so much."

"Text me as soon as you get there, actually no, call me" Jimin insisted for the third time before getting his goodbye kiss. 

"Will do. I love you"

"I love you too"

"Later." he finally said before getting inside his car. Some things never change. 

"Jimin what's this?" he heard his mom say after slumping on his bed, he lazily got up again and shuffled towards the low table in the living room, where a small gift bag was settled. 

"I don't know" he shrugged and picked it up, suddenly noticing the name of the funfair on the paper. He curiously peeked inside and felt his heart drop to his stomach. It was the yellow plushie Jimin asked for, the one Jungkook spent almost an hour trying to get. 

"He said he didn't get it" he whispered to himself before turning to his mom with glossy eyes. He picked up the card that came with it and read the writing.

Of course I would only get you the one you wanted, Cupcake.
Because if it isn't you, I wouldn't want anybody else either.
