Chapter 58: Unsure
Jimin reached the third floor again with a blank face, worried he might come across the figure again. It was something he slowly began to fear. It caused him wounds on his back and Jimin just couldn't tell what it could be, what that entity could be telling him.
The older stepped into the slightly dimmed hallway, expecting the figure to come out of no where to push Jimin off the stairs or so, but then... Nothing happened. It hasn't been this quiet in a while. Normally Jimin would hear whispers from down the hall or a spine tingling figure down the hall that would just stand there and glare at him for no reason. Of course, Jimin knew there was no reason to all of this or even a backstory since Jungkook didn't even believe him.
Jimin quickly walked over to the door and knocked on it impatiently since he despised being outside the apartment for too long. As Jimin knocked, he suddenly felt someone grip onto his waist from behind that made Jimin flinch and turn around as his eyes widened. It was Jungkook standing there with a cute smile as the door across from his was opened. Showing he was just in that room for a while where the vents were.
"JUNGKOOK- Oh you brat!" Jimin then shoved Jungkook back and placed his hand over his heart. "You almost killed me!"
"Hi, Jimin! I was wondering when you'd get here." Jungkook mentioned as he walked up to the door and opened it just to look at Jimin.
"I was... right on time.." Jimin added as Jungkook chuckled and shook his head. "What? What do you mean no?"
"Approximately one minute late!" Jungkook added as the older shoved Jungkook away and walked into the apartment.
"Were you going to tell me I was running late, through the vents?" Jimin asked as Jungkook nodded with the same, cute and bright smile he had before. Everytime Jimin was right by his side, Jungkook's day got brighter and he could smile happily without having to fake it one bit!
"I get so worried about you, I have to constantly check if you didn't go off and do something else!" Jungkook added and walked to the kitchen to take out a small rice cake snack from a plastic bag as he held it out to Jimin. Just then Jungkook realized the two were matching on the same denim pants and shoes. However, Jungkook's shirt was just a black loose sweater. Almost close to what Jimin was wearing.
Jimin accepted the rice cake as Jungkook looked down at Jimin's shoes, still holding such a sweet smile. "What are you looking at?"
"We're matching! I've read online that only couples do that. I think it's cute." Jungkook added making Jimin giggle and cup his mouth with a smile.
"No~ you're just copying me." Jimin giggled and opened the plastic bag to eat the sweet rice cake as Jungkook looked over to the coffee machine that he left brewing while he went out to the vents.
"Mm.. Yes I always want to copy you, Park Jimin. You're my idol." Jungkook added so sarcastically and made Jimin giggle again. "You're so happy today." Jungkook pointed out and walked over to a cabinet to grab two red mugs for the coffee.
"Well, do you know what day is it today, Jungkook?" Jimin asked with a sweet smile as Jungkook began to pour coffee into the two cups one at a time.
"No." Jungkook added and chuckled after. Leaving the two in silence as Jungkook suddenly made a snoring sound that made Jimin laugh and shove the younger again. "Ah! Jimin you're so abusive! I'm trying to pour coffee!" Jungkook laughed as Jimin looked at the younger and moved in close.
"Are you sure you don't know what day is it today..?" Jimin asked as Jungkook shook his head while he began to add sugar into the coffee.
"What's so special about today?"
"Oh Jungkook! Today is the First Snowfall Festival! We are... Going together... Right?" Jimin asked worryingly while he still had rice cake in his mouth that made his cheeks slightly big.
"So cute. Of course we are!" Jungkook added with a blank face like he was a little unsure. The younger then held up Jimin's cup of coffee and handed it over to the older.
"Why so blank?" Jimin questioned as Jungkook made a smile just to assure he wasn't so bland with his emotions. "Oh Jungkook you should take your sketch book so you could draw out the view! It's good practice!"
"Oh.. Well I don't want to take up too much time with drawing. I really want to spend time with you and that's all that matters! Watching the first snowfall together would be perfect... Right?" Jungkook claimed. The boy seemed slightly nervous about the festival almost like he didn't want to go to feel the pressure of being there with so many other people.
"What's wrong...?" Jimin asked as the younger kept his gaze locked at the coffee in his red mug.
"Just a little nervous but I promise it won't interfere with us going. I am determined to go with you either way."
"Jungkook... What's so scary about going out there? Could you tell me...? Or is that a secret too?" Jimin worried as Jungkook let out a sigh and looked at the older.
"Just a little fear of going out and having people stare at me. To me, it feels like people are only looking at me and judging me. Filling me with guilt and making me feel pressure. I get so nervous I can't focus!" Jungkook added as Jimin then grabbed Jungkook's hand and looked up at the younger.
"Hey.. Jungkook, you don't have to go if you don't want to... There's always next year to watch this season finally come back to us..." Jimin mentioned. Not even adding in that he wouldn't be there next year. "You don't have to go if you don't want to. It's better to go with a smile... Not fear." Jimin assured and this made Jungkook look down at Jimin in the eyes.
"It's okay. I'll get over it eventually! I.. need to go today...it's very important that I do!" Jungkook mentioned and felt Jimin hold on, slightly tighter than before.
"Are you sure?" Jimin asked again. He didn't want to go if Jungkook didn't want to. And of course the older didn't want to force Jungkook into anything the younger hated the most. That was going out in public.
"Yes of course I am sure! For you I would! You're my best friend." Jungkook stated and suddenly tipped the cup of coffee onto his shirt and made it drench the lower half of the black sweater. Causing Jungkook to look down and not even flinch at the hot coffee that spilled onto his torso.
"Jungkook! Are you okay?" Jimin asked as Jungkook looked up at Jimin and set the mug onto the counter top of the kitchen.
"Oh... It spilled..." Jungkook added as he stepped back and took off his shirt, walking to his room as Jimin followed up until he reached the doorway of the room as Jungkook took out another sweater to change into and black joggers too. "I guess we aren't matching anymore..." Jungkook added looking back at Jimin. "Can we match for the festival?" Jungkook inquiried as Jimin nodded and closed the door so Jungkook could change out of his clothes.
As soon as Jimin closed the doors, Jungkook sat down on the bed. The boy did it on purpose so he could sit there and ponder this through on his own. "Jimin wants me to go... I should tell him how I really feel about him." Jungkook whispered with a smile as he held the hem of his sweater to put it on. "Why.... Do you still haunt me..? Before I hated you.." Jungkook added and looked out to the window that lead to the sea.
Jungkook stood up and walked over to the curtains and drew them closed. "Stop staring at me like that... I'd hate it how you would stare at me like we are okay. Sometimes I wish that stupid ocean wasn't there. You don't know how much I hate looking at you." Jungkook whispered and looking at the curtains that now blocked the view of the ocean. "I can't believe you don't remember what I did... And you're still here and look at me like I'm the one you want.." Jungkook then sighed and as he began to open the curtains slightly, Jimin opened the door again to check up on Jungkook as he let out a giggle that gave a shiver down Jungkook's back almost like it sounded familiar to him before.
"You aren't even changing! Don't change in the dark." Jimin added as he switched on the lights and gazed at Jungkook with a cute smile. Jungkook then turned around to see Jimin poking out his head from the door. The younger then let out an exhale in relief it was Jimin.... But who else could it have been anyways?
