Jungkook's face lit up as he replayed those words in his head. Jimin finally made a smile at how Jungkook was growing excited about the conversation now. "Ah, okay... My name is Jeon Jungkook, you already know that but I like to introduce myself so, I am Twenty-one years old, I go to college... I like Poker, I gamble alot... Not proud of it but I'm trying to move away from that. I have one close friend, his name is Jung Hoseok. Very nice and amazing guy, he's always there for me. H-"

             "I never knew you had a boyfriend." Jimin added onto Jungkook's words, making the younger flinch and quickly shake his head.

           "Jimin! Hoseok is not my boyfriend. He is my close friend." Jungkook responded while Jimin began to eat the spicy noodles. "Why would you think that?" Jungkook laughed while he picked up a salted steamed beef with his chopsticks.

           "You talk about him like he means the world to you!" Jimin raised his voice slightly as he suddenly stabbed his chopstick down on the beef.

          "Um... Jimin..?"

            "Oh sorry... I could have sworn I felt a bone in here. Don't mind me.. Go on. Tell me more about your friend... with benefits."

            "Jimin, quit it!" Jungkook laughed and shook his head. "I may go either way.. But I wouldn't want Hoseok. He just became a close friend to me and I know he probably has a relationship going on." Jungkook claimed.

            "And you don't?"

            "No. Too busy gambling and running around to help Mother. But if I do get a chance... A nice girl or more likely a guy would be nice."

            "Just say you're gay. It's obvious you aren't into girls... I see the way you avoid every girl in the club, how you tilt your head away from the view of any stripper. You just don't like that, do you? Have you ever dated a girl or boy to know what you want?" Jimin asked, tipping his shades down to flash his beautiful dark brown eyes. Jungkook felt his heart pound by just looking Jimin in the eyes like that. It was enough to make him feel anxious like he did before during a Poker game.

           "I've dated before... I've been with a girl. She was really pretty. But I broke up with her because I had second thoughts and longed to experience with a guy... I don't know how I got use to the feeling but I did. I guess I could be gay." Jungkook said while he drank the ice cold water from the glass cup he set out for himself.

          "Then you are just like me... We are both into the same gender. But don't worry, I won't touch you inappropriately or try to flirt with you. I just don't want you too attatched to me." Jimin claimed.

           "I understand.. But let's say I did... And I do get attatched... What will happen? What do you mean by not getting too attatched?"

             "Jungkook, I say it for a reason. If you get attatched to me, you'll be in for one hell of a ride. If you do start to fall for me, I suggest you go find someone to keep you from loving me."

            "I...don't understand." Jungkook replied, gazing at the waterdrops that fled down along the side of the glass of his ice cold water. "You don't want to be loved?"

            "No." Jimin responded, not wanting to look at Jungkook in the eyes. The older man pushed up his shades and covered his eyes again as his nose started to turn red again.

            "Why are you crying?" Jungkook wondered as Jimin continued to shake his head, claiming he didn't but Jungkook only persisted in asking the older about it.  "Did I say something wrong? Was it a personal questio-"

              "Just continue telling me about yourself." Jimin interrupted as Jungkook tapped his chopsticks on the side of the bowl.

          "That's all there is to me... I'm just a confused guy about what I want." Jungkook claimed. Feeling as if Jimin could listen and relate to what the younger talked about. "Lately I've been happy. Ever since I met you, I think I've felt more happy." Jungkook claimed as Jimin suddenly started to chuckle.

           "I can't help but to say the same. I see you're still using that necklace you won from me. Why is that?" Jimin asked. Trying his best to find the good in any issue just like Jungkook. Jimin wanted to be as happy as the younger, he just found it difficult along the way.

         "Oh.. Well I like it... But, I can't help but to wonder, why would you give something up like this?" Jungkook wondered as Jimin smiled and looked down at his bowl of rice.

            "Well... At times... I hate that necklace... But at times, I miss it. Right now? I don't miss it or hate it. Maybe because I know you have it. That'll be okay." Jimin answered the question. Taking off his shades as the corners of Jungkook's lips curved into a slight smile.

            "If you don't mind me asking... What does this necklace mean to you? It's so expensive... One of a kind, why do you feel this way towards it?"

            "Ah, it was a gift to me by my birthmother." Jimin said and instantly Jungkook quickly took it off. "Haha, Jungkook why did you take it off?"

           "This was a gift from from someone so special. Someone who gave birth to you. It's like losing a special piece of your history if I take this." Jungkook continued as Jimin stood up and walked over to Jungkook's side of the table.

           "It's fine... Think of it like, you protecting it from me. For those days I feel like breaking it... Or even throwing it far, you'll have it and protect it from me." Jimin stated and placed it around Jungkook's neck to clip it back on.

           "Why would you feel that way towards something your birth mother gave you?" Jungkook inquired. Jimin gazed down at the younger with such a bright gaze as he took a moment to respond.

            "Because... She was my only family, and then I was sent to adoption yet it felt like I had a curse, getting adopted to only get thrown back into the system." Jimin said. "Sad, I know... But I can't accept the fact that the necklace she meant for me, was for someone else and now, it's stuck with me. But yet again, I sometimes think of it as her love being in that necklace." Jimin stated. "I'm sorry I have to bring you down with that. I'm a very complicated person.... I feel one thing towards that necklace, but then I feel another."

           "I know how that feels. It's almost like how I feel with Poker." Jungkook related as he looked up to see Jimin keeping his stare at the boy. "Fuck... He's staring at me like he's going to kill me if I make any sudden moves!" Jungkook thought in his head while he watched Jimin raise his hand to pat Jungkook's head softly.

            "You know Jungkook, I feel that way towards many things... My certain likes, my addiction to alcohol, that necklace..." Jimin then trailed his hand back, rolling the younger's hair backwards before quickly remembering not to touch Jungkook too much because he feared the younger growing too uncomfortable with him. Jimin kept his boundaries as Jungkook still awaited on what Jimin was going to say next.

              "A-And what else...?" Jungkook questioned, gazing and holding such a strong contact with Jimin until he would get a direct answer.

            Jimin took a while to figure out how he can put this into words. But then, he finally opened his mouth and replied to Jungkook's question. "I have complicated feelings about those things and of course... I feel that way towards you too Jungkook. Constantly confused on what I feel about you... I don't know if I hate you or just enjoy your company even if I don't want nothing to do with anything under the category of love. Love from friends, family or even those who care like you..."
