Groaning and exhausted, Jungkook lets himself fall onto the sofa in the living room. The flight and the way from the airport have made him so tired and worn out that he can feel his eyes fluttering. But he still has to get ready for bed, he doesn't want to spend a night on the sofa, knowing the consequences of a sore neck and back pain would keep him from working the next few days.

His mind reels back to the bus ride and then to the gorgeous looking male that sat practically beside him. Jungkook has not much experience, regarding dating or generally being with a man but what he knows is he would have blamed himself for a long time if he had let him slip away.

Good thing is that Jimin gave him his phone number. Well, he hopes that it really is his.

He pulls out his phone and orders some food before he takes out the white folded paper from his pants pocket to type in the number as a new contact. 

Shall he call him?

Jungkook takes a peek at the time of his smartphone. It's 10.23 PM... Contemplating and with his thumb hovering over the calling sign, he bites on a finger.  

He shakes his head and locks his phone again. It's too late, Jimin might be sleeping already and exhausted from the bus ride as well. Perhaps he will write him a message before going to bed but that's it. 

Soon, he gets pulled out of his reverie when the food gets delivered. With a box of jjajangmyeon, he spends the time eating in front of his tv and switching randomly through channels.  

Once he's done he throws the packaging in the bin and goes to bed.

He would message him tomorrow...

The next time Jungkook stood up, he didn't imagine getting ready within a span of twenty minutes to hold an emergency video meeting with important customers. The midday is hectic and so is the rest of the day. You could say, his boss can't let him do that. He just came back from a flight the day before, how can he let him work that soon again.

But his position in the company requires some sacrifices and as long as Jungkook is allowed to work from home when he comes back from a flight and has some long sleep, he's fine with it. Over a few years, he got used to it and has no problem with it.

Don't misunderstand that he's too busy in general and has no time at all because he has free time, but there are little phases where work is more hectic, such as this week of all times.

Days go by and Jungkook finds himself forgetting about writing the blond male that lingers from time to time in his mind. Yet, when his mind wanders to him, he's in situations where he should focus on other, more important things at hand and is not able to contact him. 

That is, until one morning when the male runs into someone on his way to his work.

"Sorry..." Jungkook rumbles underneath his breath, without looking into who he ran into. He just cares that he's a bit late for work and is afraid he might come too late if he doesn't hurry.

He clutches tighter onto the strings of his bag and attempts to walk further when a hand grips onto his arm. Jungkook is about to turn around and yell at the person to not waste his time. Yet, the second he turns around in the grip of the other it's like the words die on his tongue and time stands still. 

He tries to ignore how his heart starts to beat in his chest and how his fingers get sweaty upon seeing who stands in front of him.

"Jimin," he eventually breathes out, too speechless to bring anything else out as his eyes look forth and back between two brown orbs. Jimin's tongue flicks out and wets his bottom lip, causing Jungkook's gaze to hang on them for mere seconds.

A soft breeze tousles through Jimin's blond hair, messing up the perfect style of hairstyle. But Jungkook thinks at this point there's nothing that can mess up his beauty nor his adorableness.

"Jungkook..." Jimin then speaks up after what feels like an eternity. "Did- did you not get the paper... or are you not interested anymore?" 

Jungkook gulps hard and gasps as he notices the way Jimin looks at him. A feeling of guilt overcomes him. He has totally forgotten about messaging him, being too busy with his work.

Jimin on the other hand feels somewhat terrified at the thought Jungkook might say the latter. All week he has been thinking about no one other than Jungkook. The male, who didn't hesitate to give him something warm when he saw him freezing.

Jimin can't deny how handsome he looks and how kind he seems to be. The way they talked on the bus he thought the flirting and tension between them might be not only in his mind after all. So he waited and waited. Day after day passed but no message or call from the male.

Frustrated by the whole thing, he even went to a close friend to cry and mope around, saying how unfair the world is and that he thought he felt some kind of connection with Jungkook. Now seeing him and standing so close to him, makes him so scared that he could confirm that he read the signs wrong.

Jungkook must have seen the lip biting and the sad look in his eyes because Jimin finds himself pulled against a chest and locked in a half hug.

"I'm sorry, Jimin. It wasn't my intention to make it look like that. Yes, I got your number and even put it in my phone but then work got hectic and I forgot to contact you. Forgive me."

"Hm... So does that mean you're interested and I read all the signs correct?" 

Hope glimmers in Jimin's eyes as meet Jungkook's and a beautiful crescent smile forms on his face. At that moment Jungkook could care less that he's late for work. Seeing this, is definitely worth it. 
 
"Yes," Jungkook says and beams back, not expecting to have Jimin jumping into his arms the next second. They remain in that position for some seconds, enjoying the proximity of the other. Even though they have met only once so far, now twice, they feel already so comfortable with each other and attracted to the other it's incredible. Call it love at first sight or whatever.

"Can I take you out on a date after work?" 

"Where do you work?" Jimin asks curiously as he leans back. He can't help but tug on Jungkook's hair, revealing his forehead.

"There," Jungkook shows with his index finger behind him to the big office building, causing Jimin to gasp. 

"Really? I work there," the blond shows with his finger to a little boutique, three shops from Jungkook's workplace. "Woah~ I can't believe we work so close."

He squeals and jumps up and down, causing Jungkook to look at him in awe.

'So adorable...'

"Yes," Jimin then answers and glimpses at him through his thick lashes. 

The other blinks confused. "H-huh?"

"The answer to your question is yes. Pick me up at the boutique?" 

Before Jungkook can respond, Jimin is quick to place a peck on his cheek and runs to the boutique, leaving Jungkook to stand there in shock.

A few months later

"Thank you so much for taking me here!" Jimin squeals next to Jungkook upon seeing all the various colours of fireworks in the sky.

Over two months they've been going out on several dates and spent time with the other countless times. They even kissed a few times but nothing more. Jungkook remembers their first kiss as if it was yesterday. It was on Valentine's day. The taller prepared a day full of surprises for the person that makes him feel special. At the end of the day, Jimin grabbed Jungkook by his shirt and pulled him down before he pressed his lips onto Jungkook's. 

Now, several weeks have passed and Jungkook is certain that seeing how happy he can make Jimin is making him happy as well. In other words, he's certain of how he feels and knows he can't imagine spending any more days without him. Coincidentally, he knows Jimin feels the same, so he planned on asking this gorgeous male to be his boyfriend.

"You're welcome," a pleasant smile wanders over his lips as he stares at Jimin with full adoration and fascination. No matter how much time they spend his heart never seems to stop racing (not that he wanted to).

"Min?" he calls out for the other male, who turns around and looks at him with confusion in his eyes. He slightly tilts his head as Jungkook takes his hand and caresses over his back. 

"The time I spent with you has been incredible so far and I can't imagine you being not in my life anymore. Your smile, your sparkling eyes, your cheekiness and your shyness has enchanted me completely. What I want to ask is..." he takes a deep breath before he speaks out the words he wanted to ask for a little while. 

"Will you be my boyfriend?"

"Oh my... Jungkook... Yes! Yes, I want to be your boyfriend."

Instantly Jimin falls into Jungkook's arms and they fall into a deep kiss, not caring about other people around them. It feels like a dream neither of them wants to wake up from.

End.
