Chapter 31: Like the Arcturus star
Jimin laid there with Jungkook laying over his chest to cry onto his shoulder. The way Jungkook sputtered his own words, huffed and breathed in between his tears, was enough to make Jimin close his eyes and let out a tear. He grew to despise seeing his own boyfriend like this and never expected Jungkook to hide everything like it didn't bother him. But, it began to bother Jimin until it became repetitive.
“Jungkook… I'll never leave you… I won't hurt you… like she did. I know you're worth so much… to me.” Jimin comforted the boy as he then guided his own hands into Jungkook's silk hair. “You're so perfect… You're a gem to me. A perfect outline of star clusters. Without you, I wouldn't look… at the white stars in space. I wouldn't… think of them as stars that not only light up the skies… but… stars that aligned that night I met you.”
“Mochi… Ah, you're making me want to cry e-even more… I-I just want you to promise me… Please. That's all that I want. I know… we just started dating today, but I want you for a lifetime, not only a limited time. You're mine now and I'm yours.”
“I promise.” Jimin whispered and just then, Jungkook held himself up and met eyes with Jimin just staring at him. “Don't cry anymore… You're making me cry.” Jimin whispered to his boyfriend. Right after, Jimin rose his hands up to cup Jungkook's face, wiping away the tears that streamed down his face and smiled through it all. “My Jungkook… Mr. Jeon…” Jimin giggled softly as Jungkook leaned over and gave Jimin a kiss on the forehead to make him start blushing.
“You're already mine, but when I kiss you on the forehead, you turn all red!” Jungkook stated as Jimin giggled and covered his own mouth with his hands. However, Jungkook didn't like listening to muffled giggles, so he pulled the older's hands from his mouth and pinned them above Jimin's head to gaze down at Jimin for a second. “Don't hide from me, Mochi~” Whispered the boy and only then, he leaned in, kissed Jimin on the lips, led the kisses down to Jimin's jaw, and all the way to his neck. “Where do you want me to kiss you? Here?~” Asked the younger before kissing Jimin's neck softly and kept his hands gripped locked over Jimin's small wrists.
“O-Oh, Mr… Jeon…!” Jimin gasped softly and tried to move his hands away. “N-Not now… I'm not ready…” Jimin begged into a soft whimper as Jungkook stopped kissing along Jimin's neck and sat up to gawk down at Jimin.
“What am I doing to you, Mochi?” Jungkook asked and folded his arms while Jimin opened his eyes and turned red. He took the whole actions they did together, very dirty and this made Jungkook start laughing at Jimin. “Oh Jimin! I won't do that to you so suddenly.” Jungkook laughed and Jimin covered his own face right after.
“I-I'm sorry… I didn't… think you were going to do that.” Jimin whispered as Jungkook kept laughing. “S-Stop laughing at me! I was getting so… worried. Thinking you wanted to have-”
“Sex? Is that what it was? You thought we were going to have sex? Ah, oh Jimin! I just started dating you.” Jungkook mentioned and his smiles returned like he had no other thought of Lee-Young left inside him. “My little Mochi isn't so pure.~ If I wanted to do that with you, I would ask you first. I'm not into the whole luring in and then doing it. I never tried it before, but I want consent. I hear… consent is what makes it even better.” Jungkook announced. This made Jimin start laughing as he turned over and buried his face into a pillow to cover his red and vibrant face.
“A-Ah! You were heartbroken! Why are we talking…. about… sex now?” Jimin laughed and just as he sat up, Jungkook smiled and allowed Jimin to sit closer to him and rest his head over his shoulder. “You don't…. want to have sex… with me, right? I must be the last… person you'll do it with. I'm so weak, my health isn't too good.”
“Stop saying that about yourself.” The boy stated and turned his head to look at Jimin resting his head over his shoulder. “If I want you to be my first and you want to be mine, then we can. I don't care about anything else.” Jungkook laughed and left Jimin blushing. “Ah, look at us. Talking about sex after I cried a river.”
“Are you… doing okay…now, Jungkook?”
“I'm doing better. I see that it's okay. I have you now. Now that I think of it, it was rare for Lee-Young and I to sit and joke around about anything because she took things too far. She was a strong girl and everytime I tackled her down, she would fight back and not lay there like a helpless girl. Very independent and happy. But, I guess her love for me didn't carry us today. I'll miss her… But I won't miss her as the one I loved, more like a friend now. I hope that soon, she'll find someone who will hug her close and give her all the time she wants. That's all I want to say.” Jungkook whispered and looked down to think on his words a bit more.
“Jungkook… when did you… stop being straight? Did I ruin your relationship with Lee-Young from the...start?”
“Well, I wouldn't say you ruined it. You changed it and made me realize that I wanted someone else. You didn't ruin it, or else I would be blaming you for everything. But I'm not. I'm no longer straight, I'm bisexual at least. These feelings I have for you, just won't change and I know it. These feelings are forever, Jimin. You made me realize that.” The young stargazer claimed and by there, Jimin smiled and still kept his head against Jungkook's shoulder. “You're so adorable, Park Jimin…”
“Quit saying that…. You're… m-making me blush too much!” Jimin giggled and before Jungkook could kiss Jimin's soft cheek, lightning filled the room in a flash and thunder boomed outside in the matter of seconds. “I-I forgot it was raining.”
“What, did it scare you?~ My precious little Mochi! I'll protect you.” Jungkook laughed and suddenly pulled Jimin into his arms to hug tightly. “Scared of thunder and lightning, ah, what did I do to deserve such a cutie like you?” Jungkook laughed and Jimin alone felt the younger's heart beat through it all. It was like Jimin finally met his star, an Arcturus star; one of the brightest stars in space. Jimin found Jungkook as his own star as Jungkook found Jimin as his moon; something he just couldn't live without. Just like the earth needed the satellites, just like the moon needed it's stars and just like the solar system needed it's gravity, Jungkook needed his Jimin.
As Jungkook laid there on his own bed with Jimin over his chest for a while, they listened to the rain outside. Together, they laid there in the dark and glanced out the window up ahead with rain falling down the glass of the windows. Just as Jungkook asked before, Jimin was more than happy to lay over him and look at the rain before them. Only after a while Jimin closed his eyes and allowed Jungkook's hands to fix over his own hair softly. Combing through the silk strands of Jimin's locks was something Jungkook always loved to do, especially when he had Jimin over his chest in silence.
As they laid there in the dark room, Jungkook smiled to himself and cupped Jimin's face ever so gently and only then, Jungkook pointed Jimin's sleepy face towards his. “Are you sleeping, my little Mochi?”
“Ah, I-” Immediately, the timer started to ring and it made Jimin flinch so suddenly. “Oh right… I almost forgot about the cookies.” Jimin spoke softly as Jungkook chuckled and turned the timer off. “Let's… finally watch that show. And I…should really think about going back there...again.” Jimin spoke and those words alone made Jungkook grow excited to have Jimin back in the facility. Maybe it wasn't today he would go back, but the thought of hearing that Jimin would rethink his decision, was enough to make Jungkook smile at the idea of working with Jimin; the role model he soon began to love right after his return to earth.
_______________________________________
During the same hour, the storm kept roaring outside with rain shooting against windows of the facility. Most astronomers and astronauts went home as only a few stayed behind to work through the storm. All the lights were off in the labs while some stations carried lamps for other astronomers to work in. There wasn't many behind, but out of the handful of astronomers, Taehyung stayed behind while sitting in Jungkook's station.
There, Taehyung pushed his own silver glasses up and rolled his brown hair to the side. The man was wearing a white dress shirt, black suspenders falling down vertically and locking onto his black pair of dress pants that matched with his black, classic shoes. Taehyung sat in Jungkook's station and worked on his project as he kept glancing at a picture of Jungkook framed. Of course, Taehyung has always teased his best friend since he was there, but he never knew how much he could miss the young astronomer.
“So careless… Leaving me to work on your part of the project… It's not fair. You'll get paid to play doctor with ‘him' and I have to sit here and do your part. Such a shame… I sort of miss teasing you about us being happily married.” Taehyung whispered to himself, believing that no one else in the unit could hear him, but only then, Namjoon tapped Taehyung on the shoulder to get his attention.
“You know I thought you'd miss the kid, but I never expected you to be obsessed to the point where you begin to work in his station and talk to a picture of him when no one is around.” Namjoon teased and pulled up a seat to look at Taehyung.
“Don't talk to me, Namjoon. I hate you.” Taehyung bickered and turned his body away, leaving Namjoon to smile and let out a scoff to himself. “What's so funny? You know what you did. You betrayed me…”
“No, I grew up. I grew out of this and so should you. Jimin suffered and I think it's enough as payback. Stop being so immature about it…” Namjoon shot back and grabbed Taehyung by the hands and pulled him close to face one another. “Come on, stop playing around, Taehyung. I went to go see him and you should have came with me.”
“You only went because you thought you could try to get him as yours again!” Snapped the younger and pulled his hands away to huff to himself. “You had no intentions of fixing things with him… You did it because you wanted to see if he'll take you back.”
“You… you don't know that… I'm happily married.”
“Of course you are! You instantly got with her as soon as Jimin left. You wanted him to take you back out of jealousy once he arrived. Once word spread that he was lost and gone forever, out of pain; you proposed to the now, Kim Jungyo. Oh! And as soon as Jimin was found, you went to see him but, oh no… You found him hugging Jungkook's coat and there you went out of jealousy to throw the coat over Jungkook’s head. That didn't go unnoticed by anyone.” Taehyung complained as Namjoon stayed staring at the younger. “And you came back to him and he probably told you he didn't want you…”
“No… He told me he wanted Jungkook. Not me.” Corrected the older. Making Taehyung bump his right brow up and let out a chuckle. “So… what if I wanted him back? What if a part of me wanted him? It wouldn't work out because maybe now… Jungkook and him could be together. How does that make you feel? Knowing that Jimin gets a happy ending even if you won't forgive him?”
“Shut up… You don't understand… he alone took-”
“-Your fame away. Yeah, I got the gist already, Taehyung. But, it won't make you any better if you just… forgive him. Talk to him, you've been his closest friend since elementary.”
“Forgive him… That's just the toughest thing I could ever do…” Taehyung whispered to himself and took off his glasses before taking the framed picture of Jungkook and slowly pressing the picture face down so he wouldn't have to see Jungkook. “The only time I'd forgive him is… if he comes to me first. Think of it like this, he went behind my back to take this away from me… now I have to go to him and say sorry? No… I don't care if he went through hell, Namjoon… he never told me his true intentions and left me with the mindset of him trying to take this from me.” Taehyung confessed and dried his own tears. Finally, Namjoon moved his rolling chair in closer to give Taehyung a hug from the back. “I'll forgive him once he comes to me soon. Not now…”
