Not Too Fast Honey...
We Didn't Start The Game Yet

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Author's POV

"Jungkookie~~" Jimin called out teasingly as Jungkook chuckled and turned around only to widen his eyes; shocked by the view in front of him.

There, Jimin settled elegantly on the kitchen table; legs already crossed as the cutting board was placed aside while his right hand twirling around the big ass knife-like nothing.

Jungkook doesn't know why but even though the older one was doing a seductive pose, there's something about the way Jimin holds the knife and the atmosphere around them makes him somehow uncomfortable. It makes him feel unsafe… It makes him feel like something is going to happen and surely he won't like it.

"S-sweetheart? W-why aren't you slicing the meat?" Jungkook stuttered, trying so hard to calm himself as he put the knife he held earlier away in the sink before he glanced at Jimin with concerned facial expressions. Half of him tells him to run away, save his life but another part of him tells him to keep calm and wait for what Jimin is going to do. Though both of them are stupid considering the fact that they are at risk, Jungkook took the opportunity and chose the second one.

"Why would I? Cutting meat is no fun, Kookie. I like something that will squirm when I cut them open… You wanted to know what's one of them? I could show you now~~" Jimin mumbled slyly and it was enough for Jungkook to gulp heavily; suddenly started to feel scared by the words. Despite the fact that Jimin didn't mention anything specific, he somehow feels like the answer to the question was himself.

"I don't want to k-know. Please, put the knife away. You're scaring me, h-hyung…" Jungkook mumbled and backed away a little, feeling confused yet scared at the same time in the situation. Just now everything was okay, he even kissed the elder's forehead. But what happened now? Why does Jimin still look like him but replaced with a different soul? Truly, it scares him because the other one was giving him the psychopath vibe by doing absolutely nothing but twirling the shiny knife.

But that's not what happens right?

Jimin is normal– he's not sick.

The other was just teasing him, right?

Jungkook's thoughts were broken by the unusual sinister laughter filling the room; capturing his attention as he glanced at Jimin only to back away when he noticed the male was already standing on his feet, not sitting anymore BUT the knife is still in his hand; holding it tightly.

"What happened to the sweetheart, Kookie? Why didn't you call me that?" Jimin mumbled deferentially, face totally serious; completely opposite to what he did earlier. Just now he laughs like a maniac and now he's staring at Jungkook with not even a smirk on his face but a glare. The duality is crazy…

Jungkook glanced at the knife in the other hand, feeling scared as he remembered what the older said earlier.

“I like something that will squirm when I cut them open…”

“I could show you now~~”

NOW.

"Shit." He cursed and in one moment he ran away from the kitchen, trying to save himself from Jimin but a loud yelp came out from him when the older grabbed his hair tightly before yanking him to the ground. "Not too fast, honey… We didn't start the game yet. You didn't squirm yet." Jimin whispered as he kicked the younger's chest; making the other lay on the tiles floor.

Yes, Jungkook is stronger. Yes, he may be could fight back. But no, he doesn't want to do so because that will hurt Jimin in return.

"Please… Sweetheart. Stop this. This isn't you." Jungkook mumbled pathetically, feeling pain surge through his body by the kick he received on the chest but still, he held out his hand; using energy that remains left to touch Jimin. Somehow he couldn't believe it, everything happened so fast. He feels like walking in a dream, but the moment Jimin slapped his hand away; he know it was real because he heard his heart, break.

"I gave you a chance to go away Jungkook. But you didn't. Now let me send you away. Forever." Jimin mumbled and slash Jungkook in the chest, hearing the younger scream like crazy before squirming his body in the hope to let go. But there is no use, Jimin was literally sitting on top of his body.

"That's it. Now you squirm… How does it feel?" He asked and watched Jungkook's eyes roll to the back while a string of red fresh blood came out from the side of his mouth; creating a mess with the floor tiles. Didn't get an answer from the younger, Jimin hold out the knife and slash it to his neck with unexplainable anger as he watched the other choke before holding his neck; trying to stop the blood from flowing further.

"J– Jimin… My sweeth-heart." That was all Jungkook mumbled before closing his eyes as his body stopped squirming; making Jimin back to reality.

"NO, JUNGKOOK!!" He screamed and opened his eyes, meeting with a sight of Jungkook looking at him with concern clearly on his face. "Hey hey, it's okay… Calm down… I'm here." The younger whispered calmly, hugging Jimin as the older didn't waste any second and hugged him back, thanking God it didn't happen for real.

Tears surged on top of his hazel eyes by the earlier vision. He's scared… What if it's not an imaginary but a hint from the future?

"Don't leave me, please… Kookie, I can't live without you!!" Jimin begged as Jungkook hugged him tightly, feeling his heartbreak by the sudden mention. The older look so vulnerable right now… He didn't know what happened but one thing for sure he wanted Jimin to be in a fine state. Unlike now, it pains him to watch the other crying and begging him to not leave.

"Nope, I won't leave you. Never had I ever thought about it. Well technically, I think about it once but here am I… still with you. I love– never mind but surely I wouldn't do that." Jungkook assured and hide his nose in the older's neck before inhaling the area as Jimin shoved his head inside the younger's chest while continuing to cry; feeling overwhelmed by everything that happened earlier.

The nightmare… feels so real.

"Please. You'll leave me if you know what I am…" Jimin muffled as Jungkook frowned at the statement and pulled away from the hug before cupping Jimin's cheeks softly with his fingers. "Listen… I know I didn't prove that a long time ago and it is my mistake but I won't leave you. Even after these years, I still didn't get over you. And what's with the last words? I don't care what you are. The only important thing is that you're mine. Well, soon to be." Jungkook muttered sincerely and watched the older hazel eyes shined while staring at him.

Truly, the simple words caught Jimin's heart.

Soon to be…

Oh, he could only dream of that.

"Now, I think you're tired so go rest in my room. Let me cut this meat." Jungkook mumbled and leave a peck of Jimin's forehead before walking away; leaving the older man alone. Though Jimin badly wanted to help along, he didn't dare to do so. The imagination was enough for him to take the hint and stay away from fresh flesh or meat; knowing that will trigger him.

With a heavy heart, he walked away; leading his direction to the living room before slumping his body on it. Yes, he knows that the other request him to sleep in the master bedroom but he didn't want to… he didn't want to be away from Jungkook after what happened earlier. He's scared… What if one day when he opened his eyes, he will meet with the same exact view?

"Sweetheart… Wake up. It's already night…" Jungkook's gentle voice echoed the room, waking Jimin up as he blinked his eyes multiple times before sitting up; realizing he was not on a sofa anymore but a king-sized bed.

Wait what– how…?

"How am I here?" Jimin mumbled and cupped his face before wiping his eyes before hearing Jungkook chuckle at the question which soon followed by a heavy drop on his side; making him look at the other who was smiling. "I told you to sleep in my room. Not in my living room, sweetheart… Your body will ache when you wake if you sleep there that's why I took you here." Jungkook explained proudly as Jimin scoffed loud in return, acting as if he's unimpressed while he's inside screaming to hide his face in the pillow.

The image of Jungkook, holding him in bridal style– Damn. He's blushing.

"Also, it's already night. I didn't wake you up earlier because you looked so calm. You must be hungry right now, let's go. Dinner is ready…" Jungkook mumbled with a smile; finding it funny when Jimin try to act cold while his red cheeks said the complete opposite. "I'm not hungry, Mister. And even if I was, I wouldn't eat dinner. Who knows, you might put poison in it…" Jimin derided as Jungkook couldn't help but giggle before moving closer to the other's face.

"If I put something in, I would put love potion so that you'll go crazy over me but what unlucky life, Harry Potter does not exist…" Jungkook mumbled with a smirk before leaving a peck on Jimin's nose and walking away; making the older scrunched his nose and wipe the area harshly; feeling stunned by the sudden affection. "Pft. Even if you put trillions of love portion, I wouldn't get crazy over you idiot bunny!!" Jimin teased back but found it so funny until he started to laugh; making his eyes water a little.

What a fucking lie…

He's hell-bent on the younger.

"Yeah yeah, whatever. Now come on, little sweetheart… You don't want to let our dinner cold are you?" Jungkook asked as Jimin rolled his eyes and crossed his hands; still not wanting to move even though what the younger said was nothing but straight truth. He doesn't know why he is behaving like a baby so suddenly but surely he feels good about it. He feels no need to act cold or tough when he's with the young CEO.

"I don't want to eat. I'm not hungry." Jimin stated with pouty lips, he wanted the younger to pick him up like when he was sleeping earlier but he couldn't say it because he was too shy at the request. And just when Jimin thought the world finally be on his side, the room filled with grumbled sounds; making them stop and search where it came from. When both of them realized, Jungkook immediately burst into a laugh while Jimin turned around and hide his face in the pillow.

The sound comes from his stomach.

"Aww, don't be shy now sweetheart. It's okay, let's go eat." Jungkook assured while laughing as Jimin whined loudly for him to hear, silently asking for the younger to stop laughing at the accident. He didn't expect that to happen honestly– it was so embarrassing.

"If you don't want then fine." Jimin heard the other say which he ignored and stayed in the pillow. He hopes that Jungkook go away already…

"What the fu– ahh, Kookie!!" Jimin yelped when he feels two pairs of strong arms wrapped around his knees with the other one behind his back before pulling him up; startled him. He immediately wrapped his hands around Jungkook's neck, in return; scared to fall down. It was so sudden, he thought the younger already left but oh wait– he's hell wrong. Though it happened unlike he expected, Jimin still feels happy about it as he hides his face inside Jungkook's chest; embarrassed about two things at the same time.

First, the accident about his stomach.

Second, this.

"Alright, let's go eat prince…" Jungkook mumbled with a smile as he chuckle before starting to walk when he feels Jimin's hold tighten; probably scared if he lets it go. But the smile on his face didn't remain long as it wiped immediately when he remembered what happened early in the evening.

He loves Jimin.

He's going to love the male in the weakest moments to the strongest ones. He's going to love Jimin when the older is happy and he's going to still love Jimin the most when the older is sad.

Don't Jimin understand that? 

He's there, and he's not going anywhere. He wants to love the model, each and every piece of his existence. He wants Jimin with his imperfections as much as he wants Jimin with his perfections. And he always going to want the older, he always going to be there loving the other with everything.

He just hope Jimin would understand that sooner or later…
