Jimin woke up in the morning, all tangled up with Jungkook, and immediately flinched back. The jolt caused Jungkook to wake up as well. He was greeted by a jittery Jimin. "Good Morning, Love!" He greeted in a raspy voice while Jimin thought if anything happened at night.

"Good Morning," Jimin replied as he tried to avoid eye contact with the doctor. "I will go get water." He told Jungkook and turned away but was held back.

"Let me." Jungkook pulled the smaller back on the bed and got up. Jimin looked at his clavicle through the rucked-up robe after the night.

He slowly stood and trudged across the room bare feet while Jimin remembered how he ended up in Jungkook's bed. The moment replayed in his head how Jungkook carried him in. He smiled at the thought and waited for Jungkook to be back.

In a minute, Jungkook walked in with a bottle of sparkling water and a glass. He poured the water for Jimin and the younger only gawked at how sophisticated the doctor really was.

"Can I ask you something?" Jimin asked accepting the glass.

Jungkook sat in front of Jimin and nodded. "Why do you like me?" Jimin asked and Jungkook's lips stretched into a smile before sighing and looking at Jimin.

"You are different. You are not like me, which is what intrigues me about you. When I first saw you in the dark club under the glistening lights, I was stunned. You looked so ravishing... and you blew my mind with your loquaciousness. I wanted to keep hearing you."

"You like me because I am ravishing?" Jimin made an unamused face and Jungkook tsked.

"Let me finish, will you?" Jimin nodded quickly and placed the glass on the nightstand after drinking.

"I knew that you were not looking for marriage." Jungkook confessed and Jimin gasped.

"How... How did you know?"

"Anyone who is interested in marriage tries to mellow down and definitely not set the meeting in a strip club," Jimin pressed his lower lip to inhibit his laughter but he sure got flustered.

"Despite your bold demeanor, I found your natural brown hair fresh, your eyes innocent and your laughter was unadulterated. Deep down, you were fluff. I instantly became fond of the person you were inside... And the outside was impressive. I wanted to, you know, take care of you. You brought that feeling into me." Jungkook explained and Jimin smiled while a sheen formed in his eyes.

With his body on display, no one cared enough to know what was inside. "I- " Jimin trailed off before he said something he would have regretted later. Specially when they were new in the relationship.

Jungkook raised his brows in anticipation. "I want to ask you, what if this doesn't work out? Me and you." He pointed between each other.

"I will never quit on you, no matter how wrong you are or how angry I am. If you do it too, I think we have pretty thick chances to not wither away." Jungkook replied. In his mind, he wanted more out of this relationship. His thoughts were cleared, he wanted this to end up in marriage. He was serious about it and he had promised his family that he would get married this year.

"I like that," Jimin said as he looked at no one and reaffirmed. "No matter what?"

"No matter what!" Jungkook assured and Jimin smiled brightly.

"Now tell me what do you want to do today? I can take you out for a movie or we can have brunch and then go to an amusement park. You decide what you want to do."

"I didn't bring extra clothes. I can't go out." Jimin complained as a pout popped out.

"How about we go shopping? Will you wear what I choose for you?"

"As long as it has no printed cartoons on it." Jimin chuckled and Jungkook looked at him fondly.

"It's settled then. I will go get breakfast ready. You should freshen up." Jungkook said and placed a kiss on Jimin's forehead before he stood up, leaving Jimin smiling to himself.

Jimin showered and brushed while Jungkook used the guest bathroom for washing up and then went in the kitchen to whip up something quick and healthy for Jimin, because he knew that the model was dieting. They already had their share of cheat meal for the week last night.

Jungkook looked at the mess they left at night and it attracted wildlife. There were two roaches, attacking the remains. As Jungkook went to the living room to clean everything he saw those roaches. He tilted his head while curiously looking at them and said, "oh! Party party yeah?"

"Who are you talking to?" Jimin asked as he got out of the bathroom at the same moment in his bathrobe.

"Nothing, no one. Just change into shorts and a t-shirt from my cupboard and come back while I clean this up." He replied glancing at cockroaches who looked at each other first and Jungkook, second.

Their mouths were full of food and mind drunk with the droplets of beer they consumed earlier. Just as Jungkook tried to capture them, they waddled and jumped down the table, holding each other's hands, and made a beeline to the window.

Meanwhile, Jimin got engulfed by Jungkook's big clothes and walked outstretching his arms, making older examine him. Jungkook stifled a laugh.

"I know, I look ridiculous. I should always bring extra pair." Jimin declared but Jungkook only lurked towards the man and held his hands, forgetting about the freeloaders who got drunk on his beer.

"That's alright, Honey! Why would you bring your clothes when you are at your boyfriend's place? Hm?" He asked and caressed Jimin's face.

Jimin looked up at his face. "Are you? Are we boyfriends?" He asked.

"I thought you knew. What else would we be?" Jungkook snickered.

"I don't know. You never asked me to be your boyfriend." Jimin shrugged and walked away, looking at a glass of cucumber juice.

"I guess I am too old school. I thought if I asked you out on a date, it was implied." Jungkook defended, turning around to see Jimin in front of his face. Younger raised his finger and put it on Jungkook's lips.

"Shh. Kiss me, boyfriend!" Jimin stopped Jungkook from talking as he whispered.

Jungkook pulled the man up into his arms and Jimin leaned down to kiss the older on the lips. They were lost in the kiss as their lips moved carelessly when Jimin's phone rang.

Jungkook put Jimin down and quickly pecked his lips again. "You are beautiful, baby!" He said and retreated, giving space to Jimin to attend the call.

"Taetae!" Jimin beamed as he picked up his phone and put it in front of his face.

Jungkook's ears bent at the heavy voice responding to his chiming Jimin.

"Jimin-ie.! Oh, I have missed you." Taehyung beamed. Jimin looked at Jungkook's anxious face and pulled him inside the frame.

"Meet Jungkook. My boyfriend!"

"What? No! Wait, really? No. You are kidding right. You... You can't have a boyfriend." Taehyung slurred the words, not able to believe that Jimin settled for one.

"Hi." Jungkook broke his trance while he took the phone from Jimin's hand

"Oh, H-hi. Hi, I am Taehyung, Jimin's best friend." Taehyung replied, all embarrassed for his ramble.

"I am Jungkook, Jimin's boyfriend." He chuckled.

"SEE, YOU BELIEVE ME NOW?" Jimin yelled out of frame as he struggled to take it back, but Jungkook did not let him. "WE CAN KISS TO PROVE TO YOU." He raised his voice further and Taehyung facepalmed.
