7. Seven
It was Saturday and the boys said they wanted to meet at Yoongi's house before taking off, so that the high-schoolers can split up and ride with the elders.
"This should do" jimin said, looking at himself in the mirror. He was originally gonna go for a simple white T-shirt and shorts but then Yoongi reminded him that it'll get a little cooler when the sun sets.
Suga
Jin and Hobi want to have like a photoshoot
Dress nice if you wanna take pictures too
Jimin ended up going for black jeans, a black T-shirt and a denim jacket. He suddenly got a snap and thought Yoongi forgot to say something, but it was actually in the group.
Hobi

RM
Don't worry Jimin it's an old inside joke
Jimin decided he should probably just let it go and get ready to spend almost an hour with the upperclassman alone in a car, it wasn't like they had to talk to each other. He sat on his couch and waited.
Jeon009
I'm here
Silver Mustang
"Of course he drives a sports car" Jimin sighed and picked up his keys before leaving through the door "Bye mom" he last said.
Jimin looked around and tried to find the car in the text, and barely saw the end of it around the corner. As he got closer, Jungkook's silhouette against the car door started appearing, with his arms going up to his lips then down to his side regularly.
"Hey. Thanks for picking me up" Jimin said, catching his attention as he suddenly turned to him. He blew out the smoke left in his lungs before killing his cigarette and applying some sort of lotion on his hands for the smell. "No problem" he simply said and opened his car door to get inside.
Jungkook was dressed like he was going to rob some place, a black T-shirt, black cargo pants, black leather boots, and a black bucket hat. They were going to the beach, was it so wrong to wear bright clothes?
"Easy on the colorful outfits Jeon, you're hurting me eyes" Jimin said sarcastically and he looked over at him "Wait 'til you see my jacket, you'll never guess the color" he replied and Jimin chuckled, shaking his head.
Jimin sat next to him and put his phone between his legs, he also thought it was rather hot at that time still and removed his denim jacket and put it on his lap. "You can put it in the back" Jungkook quickly informed and he nodded. He turned and gasped slightly when he saw Tako peacefully sleeping on the back seats.
"You did bring him!" he whispered with a big smile.
Jungkook started the engine and drove off from the neighbourhood, the car was filled with silence for a while as they continued getting further from the town.
"I'm loving our conversation"
"I know right"
"You're great at making people feel comfortable"
"I'm great, period"
"Are you always so modest"
"Are you always so talkative"
"I just have an obviously higher emotional IQ"
"Too bad that's the only type you can brag about" Jungkook replied and he narrowed his eyes at him.
"Maybe I'm just trying to get to know you like I did with the others, but you're making that hard for me" he explained, crossing his arms against his chest and looking out his window.
"You know plenty already"
"Yeah- your name, your dog's name, your girlfriends name, and your major"
"You can learn a lot of stuff from that"
"Like what" Jimin asked and turned to him, crossing one leg up under the other, careful not to put his sole on the seat.
"I'm a dog person, I have an emotional IQ high enough to score a beautiful girl, and I like cars- which means I love doing this" he said with his deep voice, and Jimin watched a smirk grow on his lips from his side profile.
'He looks...' Jimin doesn't know how to describe it, there was something about his expression at that moment, something about the way he looked straight ahead and leaned a little deeper into his seat, that made him look so '...dangerous'
With a swift movement, Jungkook flipped his wrist and changed gears. His car was not automatic, very common with car lovers and automotive students. What he didn't expect was the car suddenly speeding up and sending him to the back of his seat. He grabbed onto the door with his right hand and onto Jungkook's shoulder with the other.
"Holy fuck! Would it be so bad to warn me?" Jimin said feeling his heart pound against his chest in fear.
"Where's the fun in that. Hold your breath we're not even going that fast yet" he said and stepped on the gas even more, shifting to the sixth gear.
"Jeon! Slow the fuck down!" Jimin shouted and he clicked his tongue, reducing speed a little. Tako had woken up by that time and started barking as well.
"Why don't you relax and trust me... I'm not gonna kill us, I've had a lot of practice with this stuff" he said and Jimin deadpanned "I'm definitely not gonna do that" he replied and Jungkook shrugged.
"It's not like you have a choice. Either you sit back and enjoy the ride, or you hold onto your seat and stay alert while I enjoy the ride" he replied.
Jimin sighed and decided to calm himself down, both options weren't great, but he'd rather be sitting in silence than sitting in silence and fear. "Never riding with you again"
"Lame"
A few minutes passed and Jimin was already feeling better about the speed they were going at. The dog was peaceful again, securely laying on the seats with seat belts around him. They were far out of town and only a few minutes away from their destination, Jungkook didn't seem to care about speed tickets and neither did he.
"My mom would never let me hang around you if she knew about this" he pointed out.
The elder stayed silent for a moment, assuming a reply wasn't needed for such a comment.
"But why not Jimin? That's a shame I really like hanging out with you" Jimin answered himself with a fabricated deep voice to mimic the elder then rolled his eyes.
Jungkook looked over at him and smiled, his deep chuckle tearing Jimin's attention from the passing hills a few seconds ago. He turned to look at the driver who had a soft smile on his face, and deduced that Jungkook looked a lot more approachable with that expression instead of the one he had on most the time.
"Is that really all you want to hear? Validation from me?" Jungkook asked, one eyebrow raised as he looked at him and turned back to the road.
"I don't know if you know but... I don't exactly like you Jeon" he replied with in a playful tone.
"Actually I'm thinking you admire me" he said and Jimin snorted "There are literally no reasons for anybody to do that" he said, shaking his head and looking away.
"Look it's fine I understand. I'm the cool kid and you're not"
"What's cool about you? Your smoking habit? You've gotta quit that by the way" he challenged.
"Man, sounds like you're tryna be my mom or something... You nag so much" Jungkook clicked his tongue.
Jimin closed his eyes and leaned his head back, they were only a minute or two away from where they decided to meet up. He can do this, he can hang in there.
"I can't even hear you anymore Jeon. You're not there. I'm in a self-driving Tesla" Jimin said and turned on the radio where some pop song was playing.
Suddenly, the car sped up then braked completely at once, sending him to the headboard with only his seatbelt keeping him from banging his face against it. He clutched his heart and turned to the driver, who was laughing at him with a hand covering his face and the other on the wheel.
"Are you fucking crazy!" Jimin shouted, feeling betrayed "I trusted you as you said!" he fussed and Jungkook just carried on laughing.
Tako started barking again from behind them and Jimin pulled him on his lap then hugged him as if he was projecting him from the elder.
"Don't be dramatic... We're here" he said and fiddled with the objects in the cup holder, picking his phone and putting everything else in the back. Jimin was still catching his breath when he removed his seatbelt and picked up his denim jacket.
"Did I kill your cat or something?" he asked incredulously.
"See? You're not even using the information I give you, I'm a dog person I said" Jungkook replied, very amused.
"You're annoying! That's what you are!" Jimin shouted back and stomped off with the dog, down to where he could see the boys waving.
"Jimin is here!" Tae announced.
"In one piece" Yoongi muttered.
"I'm never riding in that guy's car!" Jimin complained with a pouty face and Jungkook followed after him with a bright smile, then ruffled his hair, making Jimin swat his arm away.
"Jimin got on Kook's good side! This is amazing" Namjoon said and the others agreed, laughing at Jimin's tantrum.
"Sunset is in 43 minutes, Hobi should be here before that" Jin said.
"Yeah let's go set things up and just chill" Yoongi said and they went back to the cars where they took some folded chairs and beach towels, as well as the cooler where they kept their drinks.
