Jungkook beamed listening to those words. He bit his lip shyly and smiled at him sweetly. Jimin blushed and stood up and extended his hand, Jungkook laughed cutely and shook his hand.

"So.. Let's sit?" Jungkook asked Jimin who smiled and nodded. They both sat across each other and looked at each other nervously.
"So.."
"So.." They both said together then laughed.
"You go first." Jungkook said propping himself on his elbow and ran his fingers through his hair.

Jimin's eyes scanned his pretty face. The small mole under his lip was so attractive. Infact, he had a lot of freckles.

"Um. I was just... I..." Jimin sighed and finally gained some composure.
"I just wanted to say thank you. I couldn't say it the other day and I feel like.. This was off to an awkward start. I mean you found me crying and having a panic attack on a godforsaken terrace. It's.." Jimin's voice cracked as shame and guilt began hitting again.
" Hey. It's alright. Besides that's what friends are for. " Jungkook smiled.

Friends? Is that what they were? They barely knew each other. Barely? They didn't know each other!

" We don't even..."
"We'll get there." Jungkook reassured Jimin. Jimin felt kind of shy and nervous, but he didn't feel that sinking feeling right now. He didn't feel like his heart was breaking and hurting. He wasn't feeling ecstatic, but he wasn't feeling his worst like the usual.

"So. Tell me more about yourself." Jungkook asked suddenly.
"Oh I... I'm Park Jimin, a producer at Bighit." Jimin started.
"mm hm." Jungkook blinked.
"I'm 26. And I... I feel awkward talking to you like this." Jimin bit his lip. Jungkook chuckled.

"Well. I'm Jeon Jungkook. I'm 24 and I run this cafe with my brothers. And we live in the same building." Jungkook said.
"We do!? That's why you look so familiar!" Jimin beamed.
"I don't live up in the penthouse but I live a lot of floors below." Jungkook laughed and Jimin shook his head and laughed softly.

"Oh yeah. Thanks for dropping me home but how'd you know it was mine?" Jimin asked.
"Everyone knows. And I was kind of skeptic going in but.." Jungkook shook his head and Jimin nodded.

"So.. How was your day?" Jungkook asked so casually. Jimin felt so much better, this was finally someone not constantly pestering him to open up and talk about his feelings. He just wanted to know about his day. About his whereabouts. That's all. It was refreshing.

" It was--"
" Hi!" Said a loud voice startling both Jimin and Jungkook.
"Here's your coffee and muffin." Said Jin barely keeping the excitement away from his voice.
"Thank you.." Jimin smiled and Jungkook glared at Jin to leave them alone.

Jin left laughing and Jungkook looked away from the embarrassment. Jimin held back a small laugh as he sipped the coffee.

"My day was okay. Just the usual. Yours?" Jimin asked and Jungkook smiled.
"My day just got a whole lot better." he said and Jimin looked down shyly. They began talking about music, books, work and interests when Jimin felt someone tap his shoulder.

"Taehyung!" Jimin smiled.
"Hi. You left your wallet back at the building, I just saw your car here so...um...you busy?" Taehyung smiled seeing the young man in front of him.
"Hi. I'm Jungkook, his friend." Jungkook beamed and extended his hand.
"Taehyung. I'm Jimin's colleague." Taehyung smiled and shook his hand. He felt sort of jealous but he wasn't that toxic guy. Jimin wasn't his boyfriend, so he had no reasons to be rude or mad at Jungkook.

"Well, my work here is done. See you tomorrow, Jimin!" Taehyung beamed at Jimin.
"Thank you. See you tomorrow." Jimin leaned in for a hug and Taehyung was shocked. He sighed and hugged him and Jungkook beamed.

Jimin looked back at Jungkook and they sat again. They began talking some more and Jungkook made Jimin laugh many times. Jimin didn't laugh freely, but he hadn't laughed freely in years. So this was a big deal too.

They both didn't realise, they talked so much that it was time to close the cafe.
"Seems like they're having lots of fun." Hoseok beamed.
"Mm hm.." Yoongi pulled him close and kissed him. Hoseok smiled into the kiss and Namjoon walked in and rolled his eyes. He walked to Jin who was looking at Jimin and Jungkook so endearingly.

"He looks so happy." Jin sighed and Namjoon back hugged him and kissed his cheek.
"I know." he smiled in his neck.

"Oh no, it's so late! No wonder it's getting so empty." Jimin said looking around.
"I'd better go. I have to travel too." Jimin told Jungkook.
"Have a safe journey." they stood up.

"Thanks for today, Jungkook. And everything." Jimin thought this would be their last meeting. He had thanked him properly. But he didn't want it to be their last but he was afraid of seeming too clingy.

"Hey! Stop thanking me. I am sure you'd do the same for me." Jungkook smiled and Jimin nodded.
"Okay. Bye..."
"Wait. Meet my brothers first!" Jungkook took him by surprise.
"Really?"
"Yes! Guys!" Jungkook looked back and called his hyungs.

"Jimin. This is my eldest brother, Yoongi hyung. His boyfriend Hoseok hyung. And my elder brother Namjoon hyung and his boyfriend Jin hyung. Technically Jin hyung is the eldest but we're still debating if I'm the maknae or he is." Jungkook teased him and everyone laughed.

Jimin shook their hands and smiled shyly.
" Guys. This is Jimin. My friend. " Jungkook told his brothers who looked at him with so much love.

" Can't wait to see you soon. " Jungkook beamed and Jimin nodded and smiled as they left.

Jimin talked to all of them from sometime outside the cafe then they all headed to their cars.

Jimin reached his apartment smiling and feeling so much better. He reached for the drawer with Jungkook's number in it and smiled. He picked his phone up nervously and wondered if he should text him.

He probably shouldn't, he thought. Jimin felt so nervous doing the smallest things like texting new people! He didn't want to seem annoying and he already didn't feel like indulging anyone in his life since he didn't feel he was worth it. Besides he wanted this to be his last meeting with Jungkook.

But that's not what he wanted. That's what his anxiety wanted. That's what his low confidence wanted. Jimin wanted that to change but when would he ever have the courage? He sighed and hung his head low as he kept the number away.

Jungkook was lying down on the couch while his hyungs ate food while watching TV. It was pretty late, around 1 am when a text popped up from a random number and Jungkook opened it while yawning.

"It's me. Jimin. Save the number." said the text.

"Woah!" Jungkook exclaimed as he fell off of the couch.
"What the fuck." Yoongi said.
"Language!" Jin exclaimed.
And Hoseok and Namjoon laughed.

"Jimin just texted me, guys!" Jungkook said getting up and the boys laughed and hugged him.
"Someone has a crush!" Hoseok teased him as he tickled him. And everyone laughed.

A crush?
