Once the older male assumed that he had covered a considerable amount of distance, he lowered the speed and looked at Jungkook breathing cold vapors through the rear-view mirror.

He pressed the brakes and the bike came to halt after slowing down. Jungkook was shivering as Jimin got down. He followed the older male right after. He was not able to look Jimin in the eye and Jimin felt uneasy to look at Jungkook like that.

"Are you cold?" He asked and Jungkook sniffled before looking up with teary eyes and nodded. He was not crying but he got a runny nose because of the cold.

Jimin looked around. All he could see was garden fields and few villagers carrying haystacks. "Stay here." Jimin quickly rushed inside the field and Jungkook stood in the middle of the road with a bike parked right behind him.

Jimin took at least a few minutes to come back and Jungkook worried now as he stood alone. The skepticism registered itself into his mind as the thought took birth, "what if it really was Jimin and Taehyung's plan all along? Will he get kidnapped now and raped and killed later for the birds to feed on him?" 

He got so scared that he forgot that the school bus was making its way towards him. It was the moment when the bus started zooming in into his sight that he saw Jimin coming back. Jimin also spotted the bus which was not very far from where they were standing.

"Jungkook? Come here, quick." Jimin called the boy and Jungkook turned his face around so that no one would be able to recognize him from inside the bus. Jungkook hopped from the hard concrete road to the soil of the field. Jimin took the school bag from Jungkook's hands and then took off his leather gloves before holding Jungkook's hand.

The younger felt a little warmth from Jimin's hands which wrapped tightly around his fingers and he entered inside the dense field without question. He sighed in relief when he saw few villagers sitting around a bonfire. They made space for Jungkook and Jimin and they both joined them on the ground. It was now Jungkook realized that how vigorously he was shivering from cold.

Jimin took off his helmet and Jungkook looked at his porcelain skin beaming under the dull sun rays. His heart felt like it stopped for a moment. He got lost in those brown eyes that were at him. Jimin took off his jacket and put it around Jungkook's shoulders.

"I am sorry." He uttered but Jungkook was mesmerized by his beauty that he could not listen.

Jimin held Jungkook's hand between his and rubbed them sharply. "Jungkook, you are okay, alright? You will be okay." He kept muttering under his breath and Jungkook nodded faintly.

The soft contact of their hands made Jungkook blissful and he could not help but think how it would feel to have his first kiss against the plump and soft pink lips.

Jimin who was cold up until now, turned warm all of the sudden. Jungkook could see the worry in his eyes for him. "I am okay." He said slowly and Jimin's gaze now travelled up to see Jungkook looking at him with the big puppy doe eyes.

Jimin's eyes fluttered along with his heart. It was at this moment that Jimin fell for Jungkook irrevocably. Up until this point, Jungkook was just a prized possession for Jimin but now he realized what had just happened.

He suddenly retreated his hands from Jungkook's and kept looking at him silently. Jungkook shyly moved his gaze to the flames which were burning and noticed that all the villagers were looking at the duo. He touched his nose being all flustered but Jimin's gaze never left him.

Soon, Jimin made Jungkook walk back to the road, the sun was now up and Jungkook was definitely late for school. The cold was subsiding gradually. Jungkook waited for Jimin to get on the bike but he did not. Rather, he kept staring at him and the younger squirmed. 

"You are not talking to me. You say so much on the texts and when I am here, you are stealing your gaze away from me." Jimin complained and smiled provocatively which could make anyone on the planet blush and Jungkook was no different.

"I am just a little shy." Jungkook replied looking at his hands and Jimin stepped forward to hold Jungkook's hands. The warmth tingled and began to spread inside Jungkook's mind and body at the touch and he looked up to see Jimin looking at him like he was the most precious thing for him.

"Let's go. Don't want you to be late." Jimin slowly pulled the boy close and Jungkook assumed that he would get a hug but he did not. Jimin handed him his bag and dug out his gloves from the pants pocket. They resumed the ride and soon reached the school. Jimin stopped his bike a little farther from the gate and Jungkook got off slowly. 

"Thank you for dropping me." He mumbled and Jimin just laughed. 

"I wanted to see you. Though I apologize that it was cold and I decided to pick you up on the bike." Jimin smiled warmly at Jungkook and the boy did not have anything to complain about. He was happy to have met and to have known how Jimin smelled.

"Bye..." Jungkook's steps took him away and Jimin kept sitting there. Once Jungkook got inside the school gate safely, Jimin sighed in disbelief. 

"You are something else Jeon Jungkook. I like that." Jimin mumbled and fixed his helmet before riding back.

"Where were you?" Jerry asked Jungkook as latter sat beside him but the teacher turned and glared at them from the blackboard. 

"I will tell you later." Jungkook whispered and they resumed class. What they did not know was someone already saw Jungkook standing on the road with Jimin. The same someone who had helped leak his personal information to Taehyung. 

Jerry and Jungkook walked out after the class was over and the boy decided to hide it all from his best friend. "I forgot my test sheet at home. I had to go back." He told Jerry who nodded. They studied, played around, and even ate deliciously. Aunt Niz's cooking was highly appreciated. 

The day grew and so did Jungkook's cold. He felt sick by the end of the day, exhausted to the point that he could not keep his eyes open during the lectures. He started getting Taehyung's calls like crazy and he was not in a condition to deal with it. 

The day thankfully ended and he got on the school bus. Jerry saw Jungkook snoozing off so he let the boy sleep.

Jungkook opened his eyes when the bus helper shook him lightly. "Your stop is here."

He quickly got up collecting his bag and got down. By then, he had a high fever as cold feom morning caught up to him. He did not look at the cars waiting for his arrival and straight away got into Uncle Muk's cab.

The man was driving back home and that's when he noticed the familiar cars following him. He sighed and closed his eyes. He now assumed after Jimin's words that no one would harm him physically and that Taehyung and his friends were actually trying to scare him and pressurise him into leaving Jimin.

He reached home and as he thought, the cars skewed back to be on their way. He chuckled airily and rang the doorbell. 

Niz came to open the door but when she saw Jungkook, she could not help but exclaim, "Oh my God! You look terrible."
