Taehyung's POV

My heart pace exhilarated hearing Jimin walk through the door into my apartment.

I got home from my hospital check-up maybe an hour ago and was already missing the male's company as I hadn't seen him for a couple of days.

After kissing Jimin the other morning, I did feel way more comfortable around Jimin.

We have some unspoken agreement where we are just enjoying one another's company, without labelling our relationship to one another.

I looked up from where I sat on the couch, admiring Jimin's cute blue woollen sweater, and grey tailored pants.

He stood on the black of his shoes to help him slip them off while I patiently sat observing the male.

"I'm glad you decided to come." I said after flicking off the television so that Jimin would hear me.

Jimin smiled softly as he wandered towards me, his white socks peeking out under his suit pants.

"I'd never decline to see you." Jimin chimed before sitting down on the couch beside me.

"What were you watching?" Jimin asked, now slouching back into the soft couch.

"Nothing. Was kind of flicking through stuff." I hummed.

"We could watch a movie?" Jimin suggested, gazing over at where he sat beside me.

"Or I could just watch you." I cooed.

Jimin's eyes quickly darted away from mine as he pressed his lips together cutely.

"Shut up." Jimin muttered, a small smile appearing on his lips as he spoke before he tried to hide his enjoyment of my flirty advancement.

"Make me." I shot back.

"If you're just trying to get me to kiss you again, it's not gonna work." Jimin chimed as he tilted his head to the side to look at me.

"What- Why not?" I gasped out.

"I mean, maybe if you beg for it." Jimin declared, his eyes scanning from my eyes down to my lips.

"Hey! I was meant to be making you shy, not the other way around." I whined.

Jimin's lips grew a wide smile.

"How about we have something to eat?" Jimin chimed, trying to change the sexual atmosphere that I'd just created within seconds of him being here.

Jimin got up from the couch, heading over to where he put his usual bag beside his shoes.

"Mmm, I mean, I could have a piece of your cake." I muttered.

Jimin snickered, "Tae." extending the sound of my nickname.

"Alright, I'll stop." I said with a light chuckle as Jimin crouched in front of his bag to pull something out.

He then wandered over to the microwave with a food container, heating the meal before heading back over to me with some utensils.

"I don't know how hungry you are so I thought we could just eat out of this thing?" Jimin said, referring to the food container that he held in his hand as he sat down.

I sniffed the air, enjoying the delicious aroma of food that Jimin had brought around to my house.

"Wait," I announced before shuffling over on the couch to sit closer to Jimin.

I then draped the blanket that I had over my knees over his so that we could share some warmth.

"Okay now you can rest the food down, we can just wash the blanket if any falls." I stated as Jimin put down the food container on his left knee.

"How was your day off?" I asked Jimin as he passed me a pair of chopsticks.

"Eh, it was alright. So far I have found today to be a better day. And it's getting better now as I get to see you." Jimin sweetly stated.

A smile appeared on my lips as I scooped up some beef and noodles that were inside the food container.

"How did your check-up go?" Jimin asked me as I stuck a mouthful of food into my mouth.

Once I swallowed the food down, I responded, "It went alright. They took a blood test but I should be on track with chemotherapy. I'm just waiting for the results. I think next week is when I get topped up for chemotherapy which I am not looking forward to." I explained.

Jimin listened to me while eating himself before commenting, "I'll be here for you when you feel like shit."

I chuckled, "I know. It just sucks. Why does cancer have to feel so bad, and why does getting rid of the bad bacteria in the body have to seem just as bad as the cancer itself." I whined.

Jimin laughed a little, placing his left hand onto my thigh covered by the fluffy navy blanket as he spoke, "It's just the way it is. If I was smarter, I'd invent something different." Jimin explained.

"And there isn't a way you can get smarter as fast as possible?" I asked, making Jimin giggle more.

"I wish Tae." He hummed as he lifted another lot of food up to his mouth with the hand that wasn't resting on my thigh.

"Are you still doing your journal article?" I asked the male curiously.

Jimin nodded, swallowing his food before he spoke which gave me time to eat some more too, "I recently handed it in so it is getting proofread right now. Hopefully it does not have many errors and can be published after." Jimin explained.

"That's really cool. The only thing I could publish would be maybe a recipe book." I stated.

"And you should totally do that. I've eaten so many of the cheese scones that we made the other day because they are so good." Jimin confessed, making me grin widely.

My body tingled as I felt Jimin's smaller fingers gently rub against my thigh.

I took a deep breath through my nasal cannula to stabilise myself from the way Jimin made my body feel.

I truly do want to experience more with Jimin because he makes me feel so many new ways that I have never felt before, yet I know that if my body is panicking just from the feeling of his hand on my thigh, it may take me a long time to get to the point that I may desire.

"Jimin-ah." I softly muttered.

"Mhm." Jimin hummed with a mouthful of food in his mouth.

I spoke slowly as I stuttered over my words, my heart skipping a million beats out of nerves.

"Don't- Don't go home tonight. Stay here with me."
