Chapter 32: Saturn's rings
Finally, a month has passed after Jungkook ended his relationship with Choi Lee-Young and started his with Park Jimin almost instantly. They went a whole month knowing more about each other like before. Even if they started seeing each other too soon, they slowed many things down and spent more time talking about the stars Jimin soon began to warm up to once more. However, with all the good news, Jimin's road to health began to crumble at times. The man fell ill twice the new month and at times, it only scared Jungkook when it would happen. During times Jimin fell ill, Jungkook had to call Mr. Park over to help him stable Jimin's health. Leaving the couple to sleep in separate rooms for a while.
But during the final week of the first month, Jimin's health was better and the two continued sleeping in the same room together after a long day researching about different galaxies to refresh Jimin's mind. But too much of it, made Jimin grow insane. So, not even the questions of Jimin's expedition was answered to the young astronomer. He had to wait for a while until Jimin was ready to answer him. Along the way, Jungkook also realized that the biography he planned at first for Jimin's expedition; was something he couldn't hold onto. Especially, since Jimin still couldn't seem to talk about his travel from even one month ago. It was too traumatizing. No matter how close he got to recovery, he'd fall ill due to his health trying to adjust.
It was a bright morning with the weather slowly falling into winter. Jimin sat up from his own bed, pressed his own hands behind his body, and glanced around the astronomy-themed bedroom of his. Realizing that Jungkook was nowhere to be found. “Oh that boy… He's researching, isn't he?” Jimin whispered to himself and stood up to stretch. Only recently, Jimin began to wear just his underwear and loose sweaters to sleep since he was growing so close to his own boyfriend after a month. After a month, Jungkook and Jimin shared many kisses, after a month, Jimin was able to walk around steadily, but never run. After a month, Jimin's voice was better and he was able to laugh and complete sentences happily, and even after a month, Jungkook was completely over Choi Lee-Young.
Jimin stood up from his own bed and stretched as he walked over to the door to pull it open. Poking his head out from the bedroom doorway to peer out in the hallway to see if Jungkook was around. “Mr. Jeon…?” Jimin called out and walked to the younger's room. Just as soon as he pushed the door open; turning the cold, copper doorknob to the side, he opened the door to see Jungkook on his own bed; researching as always. “Mr. Jeon! Didn't you get any sleep?”
“Oh! Goodmorning, My little Mochi.” Jungkook cooed and pushed the center of his glasses up as he read from a textbook and carried a notepad by his side on the bed. The boy's hair was a mess, his glasses tented over the bags of his eyes and he wore a white T-shirt over his chest where a smudge of a fresh coffee stain still lingered. “Sorry I wasn't able to join you in bed, I was-”
“Get up.” Jimin demanded calmly as he walked forward to see that Jungkook has been glued to the bed all night with his nose in some textbooks. “I'm scared, Jungkook. You've been sitting here and had no rest at all! Give me the book and take off that shirt; it's stained!”
“Just give me five-”
“Now, Jungkook.” Jimin ordered. The man then, walked up to the sleep deprived boy and pulled the glasses away from his own eyes. “What if you get sick? I can't take care of you like that.” Bickered the older as he pulled Jungkook's shirt off and took the textbooks, notepads, and pencils away from him. “Go wash up first and then you can sleep.”
“Ah, I don't like it when my Mochi becomes so demanding. Do you want me to put you in your place, for that? Hm?” Jungkook teased as he stretched and laid back onto the bed. “I'll take one after I get up.” Jungkook assured and as soon as he closed his eyes, Jimin moved in on the bed and dropped by his side. “Now… you want to sleep with me? You just got up.”
“I want to lay here with you.” Jimin pouted and threw his arms around Jungkook with a giggle emerging from his lips. “You and I will share one bed.”
“Ah, go eat something, Mochi. You'll starve… let me sleep here for a good minute.” Jungkook huffed and closed his eyes right after telling his boyfriend those words. However, Jimin didn't stop clinging onto the younger right after.
“Mr. Jeon, we need groceries…” Jimin whispered and smiled while he pressed his nose against Jungkook’s. “I'll eat with you!”
“Oh you're such an annoying little Mochi…” The boy chuckled and pulled his eyes open to lock his gaze at his Jimin. By there, the older quickly gave his boyfriend a peck on the lips happily. “You tell me to get some rest or wash up, now you just want me to run to the grocery store. Mochi, I'll go after. Go make yourself something.”
“Mh… Fine.” Complained the older astronaut. After that, Jimin sat up and suddenly felt Jungkook spank him on his rear out of nowhere. “Ah- Jungkook!”
“Go eat something. I'll be up soon to take a shower and get groceries.” Assured the man, turning around to face the opposite side of the room to sleep. “Go, Mochi…” Jungkook whispered and finally, Jimin let himself out of the room with giggles followed after.
Of course, later on in the afternoon, Jungkook stepped out of the shower and Jimin already prepared a meal using the last groceries to make a beef stew with rich and steamed, peppered vegetables, boiled beef and soy sauce used into the broth for the stew. The meal was also cooked with spicy, red kimchi marinated since yesterday along with hot rice Jimin prepared. The older did make sure to leave a dish for his boyfriend as soon as he stepped out of the shower and so he did. It was a calm day, but certainly, Jimin never found it in him to get up and leave the house even after a month of his arrival. Just the thought of leaving home was enough to scare him.
“Jimin?” Jungkook called out as soon as he left the shower with only his black bathrobe hugging around his wet body. “Jimin, I'm going out to get some groceries, are you coming with me?” The boy called out. Opening the bathroom door to Jimin's bathroom and suddenly catching the outline figure of Jimin within the shower dividers. However, Jungkook just couldn't see Jimin's body clearly due to the steam that was pressed against the glass dividers of the shower. Yet, Jungkook only caught the pale skin of his boyfriend behind it. “O-Oh… I should've waited-”
“Go without me, Mr. Jeon.” Jimin called out from the shower as the hot water ran down on his exposed body. All Jungkook just couldn't see from there. “You know how I get when it comes to that. Before you go, I left you something to eat. Just heat it up, okay?” The older instructed from the shower. Every little movement he did, Jungkook could see the backside of the man, but never any of the actual ceases to his pale body. So, Jungkook stayed staring at Jimin's back and steam covered the rest.
“You… don't want anything?” The boy asked and gulped while staring at his boyfriend’s every move in the shower. After one month, Jungkook has never seen Jimin without his underwear and neither did Jimin to Jungkook.
“No… Nothing in mind.” The sound of the older man answer, echoed within Jungkook's ears until it called him back into reality.
For the most part, Jungkook imagined how great it would be to walk up to his bright star to see him without any clothes for just one minute. Within a minute, he'd exchange gazes with his lovely astronaut, within a minute, he'd raise his hand along Jimin's pale body and within a minute, they would kiss underneath the moonlight that shined through the curtain windows of their bedroom with no clothes on. Jungkook just didn't know how long he has imagined the older like this, but he knew for sure it wasn't healthy to let his thoughts get the best of him. Especially when he knew Jimin could be saving himself for marriage. On the other hand, this was what Jungkook thought… Never did Jimin say this uttering from between his own lips. The boy only assumed out of everything.
After the boy ate the meal alone while Jimin was in the shower taking his time, Jungkook was finally on his way to the grocery store. To make the quick errand, the younger wore a black sweater with the hoodie pulled forward over his head, grey joggers and yellow timberlands. The boy walked out of his own house and rushed to the nearby grocery store, but before he could reach the supermarket, Jungkook locked his gaze at another store alongside it. “I'll be quick…” Jungkook whispered to himself as he then walked forward and made his way into the store quickly.
As the boy rushed in, he kept checking his phone so he wouldn't waste too much time leaving Jimin alone. Jungkook glanced at one part of the store and fixed his eyes over the pregnancy section. By there, his legs walked forward and guided him to the area where lube was sold, oils and even condoms. Jungkook was always intimidated of this area at the store. Baiting him constantly and until today, he finally had a different feeling as soon as his eyes met with the products sold before him.
The young boy then stepped forward and reached for the container of lube and held it in his hands. No longer even wanting to glance at the condoms because he knew there was no one he could use them on. By now, he had different thoughts and knew exactly who he wanted to waste his first time on. In fact, waste wasn't the word he had planned for this very moment, he would rather use the word spend since waste was just too bold in his mind. Yes, Jungkook wanted to spend his first time with his boyfriend. It was the feeling he got from Jimin; the everlasting feeling he had throughout the whole month with the older just gave him a tone that he wanted Jimin as his boyfriend for a long time.
That little interest of words with ‘I like you' just sounded cold as if it came from the gas and dust of Saturn’s ring itself. But one thing for sure, Saturn’s ring also carried diamonds. Diamonds as bright as stars and sprinkled across the Saturn ring just like the powerful words of ‘I love you'. It sounded so perfect to Jungkook. He knew he loved Jimin but, he also wanted to have patience. Luring Jimin in was something he just didn't want to do. But asking for it, made him grow nervous once he walked up to the cash register to purchase the lube alone.
He felt the slightest embarrassment purchasing the item in front of an elder and avoided eye contact. He had the feeling of getting this over with and he knew Jimin was the one he wanted to be with for sure. His heart had Jimin's name written all over it along with the stars in their own universes. Stars wrote their names and lit up the skies, even the diamonds in Saturn's ring glistened in Jungkook's universe when he thought of Jimin. Under all the rocks, dust and gas of the ring, there were also diamonds that made up the ring and Jungkook viewed it as if his love for Jimin shined through it all.
