Jungkook remembers it’s Jimin who reminds them their promise to ARMY and again it’s Jimin who starts it all. All members gather around him and soon he finds himself tossed into the air. He laughs; obviously he is happy what with the fans screaming and members shouting in joy. But suddenly it starts to go wrong when his eyes land on a certain someone.

            The noises around him seem to subside as if the volume is turned down. But he doesn’t bother to care because he is too immersed in staring at one of the members. The said member has a wide smile on his face, eyes gleaming in tears and his lips part away to let a heavenly laughter. He looks so happy.

            And so beautiful.

            So that’s maybe the reason the world becomes mute to him? It’s all because of Park Jimin?

            He blinks once and suddenly all noises are audible again. He is placed back on his feet carefully and before he can gather back his senses, he is engulfed into a hug. He immediately feels all warm probably because the person hugging him is the one who shut away all the noises around him just now. He almost hugs back but Jimin already pulls away to embrace the others, but not before whispering those words into his ears.

            And Jungkook stands there, frozen, as he just simply can’t believe it.

            Everyone is back to the dorm and ready to settle down after being through a victorious day. Most of them are already in bed but a certain member is still all awake no matter how hard he tries to shut down his mind.

            “Damn it, Park Jimin!”

            Jungkook throws his blanket aside and heaves himself to his feet. Namjoon has long gone sleeping and he doesn’t have any intention to wake the elder up so he tries his best to sneak out of the room, closing the door behind him silently. He turns around and his gaze falls on the most beautiful creature he has ever seen.

            Park Jimin is standing outside his own room, leaning against the door with his head is tilted slightly upward. His eyes are closed and his damp hair is plastered again his forehead. And Jungkook finds himself stepping closer.

            Staring at Jimin up close, Jungkook notices the weak fluttering of his eyelashes and smells the vanilla scent that drowns him momentarily. Suddenly, a soft sigh comes out from Jimin’s slightly parted lips.

            “Jeon Jungkook.”

            As Jungkook hears his name is whispered, he wears a surprised look, wondering if he has been caught staring but when Jimin flutters his eyes open only to have them widened the next second, Jungkook knows it’s totally different case.

            Jimin immediately straightens his body and gives Jungkook a soft smile. “What is it, maknae? Why aren’t you sleeping yet? Are you okay?”

            Jungkook feels the familiar warmth again because damn, Jimin’s voice is soft and thick with worry that he has to inhale deeply before he blurts out a “We need to talk.”

            Jimin’s expression is unreadable as he slowly nods. “Sure.” He opens the door to his room. “Come in. Taehyung sleeps with Hobi hyung tonight so he isn’t here.” Jungkook calmly walks in but right after Jimin closes the door, he has this sudden urge to run back into his room. He doesn’t.

            Jimin steps closer at him, eyes still gleaming in concern. “What’s wrong?”

            Jungkook swallows down the forming lump in his throat. “Hyung, about what you said to me on the stage-“ there’s a flicker of understanding in Jimin’s eyes before the elder lets out a chuckle.

            “I love you. I need you. I can’t live without you.” Jimin repeats.

            Jungkook just blinks. So he heard the right thing and to actually hear it again really sets him into a twirl of emotions.

            “Why with those words? Of course I love you. All the members do. I need you and Bangtan also needs you. You’re the most important member so we can’t live without you.”

            Jungkook’s eyes suddenly lose their light. “That’s it?” he chokes the words out.

            Jimin raises an eyebrow at him. “Yeah, that’s it. What else?”

            “Are you telling me the truth?”

            Creases form on Jimin’s forehead. “Yes, maknae. It’s the truth. Believe me.”

            Jungkook’s stare turns into a glare. And when he speaks, his voice is dangerously low. “How the hell I’m gonna believe you if you always treated me like a boyfriend?”

            Jimin’s lips tug up into a small smile. “Why does it matter now? It’s not like you will love me back.”

            Jungkook’s eyes widen. He tries to search for Jimin’s gaze but Jimin is looking at anywhere but him. “W-what? You, love me?”

            “Just forget what I said.”

            “, no. Say it hyung.”

            “Language, maknae.”

            Jungkook groans. “You aren’t gonna say it?”

            Jimin shakes his head firmly. Jungkook sighs and whispers “Why?” in a despair tone.

            Jimin locks his gaze with Jungkook’s. And Jungkook clearly can see emotions flooding in those pretty eyes. He tries to reach for Jimin’s face but Jimin holds his hand.

            “Because I can’t, even if I badly want to. I don’t want to hurt you. We are doing fine and I don’t want to ruin this. I don’t want to ruin us.”

            Jungkook can feel Jimin’s hand holding his trembles. So he yanks Jimin to him that their bodies flush together. Jimin tries to back away but Jungkook already circles an arm around Jimin’s waist, not letting him go.

            “Fine.” Jungkook leans his face closer and nudges Jimin’s chin so their eyes meet again.

            “I’ll ruin it then.” Jungkook finally leans down and presses his lips against Jimin’s. Jimin attempts to pull away but Jungkook holds his nape for him to stay still. Jungkook’s head is getting heavy probably because Jimin’s lips are so ing delicious that he feels like he is getting drugged. And he thinks he has lost his mind when he feels Jimin’s lips move against his, hesitantly at first but soon, the kiss turns into a heated one with both trying to dominate.

            But it doesn’t last long though. Jimin’s hands find their way to Jungkook’s chest to push him away. Jimin pants softly, his wavering gaze falls on Jungkook as he rubs his lips with the back of his hand.

            Jungkook smirks at this. “You kiss me back and yet you still don’t want to admit it?” but he is render speechless when a single tear rolls down Jimin’s cheek. Somehow, he can tell Jimin is furious rather than sad.

            “Jeon Jungkook, why? Why you ruined it all?” Jimin’s voice is a whisper but still audibly shaking. “Why did you kiss me?”

            Jungkook stares at him with a soft gaze as he asks back in an unreadable tone. “You think why?”

            Jimin surprised him with a chuckle but Jungkook doesn’t miss the sight of another tear running down his face. “What is this, Jungkook-ah? Why are you making things hard for me? Stop it. I’m tired already.” He can only take a step away before Jungkook grabs his hand and he is pulled back to stand before the youngest.

            “We aren’t done yet.” Jungkook stares down at him, his jaw clenched.

            “We are, right after you kissed me just now. You ruined it all, you ruined us. So what’s left?” Jimin retorts, his eyes pierce straight into Jungkook’s. Although unreadable, they are clouded with anger.

            “We aren’t!” Jungkook retorts back. “Don’t you have any idea why did I kiss you in the first place?”

            “I’m not fool, Jungkook. I know the difference between dream and reality. If you’re saying you kissed me because you love me, cut the crap. I’m not that insane to actually believe that.”

            “And why is that?”

            “What, after all the rejection from you, with you kept pushing me away, did you really expect me to think that?” Jimin scoffs, feeling all ridiculous.

            Jungkook’s gaze starts to falter as he lets go of Jimin’s hand. “Then you are a fool.” Jimin opens his mouth to say something but Jungkook goes on.

            “Do you remember that broadcast when you asked me whether or not I like you?” Jimin doesn’t know where this is going but he mutters a “Yes.”.

            “Don’t you know how much it offended me? I said yes, of course I like you but you waved it off. You even thought that I did it because of the camera. Don’t you know how much you hurt me back then?”

            Jimin’s eyes hold so much questions and Jungkook notices this so he continues. “You gonna ask me why then I rejected you and kept pushing you away all this time?” he smirks. “If I didn’t, I would’ve ended up kissing you, Park Jimin.”

            Jimin’s eyes glisten with something unexplainable but he stays silent with his lips sealed tight.

            “And you know what is worse?” Jungkook asks, more to himself. “That I wasn’t good with words. So I couldn’t let you know what I felt about you.” He holds Jimin’s hand and pulls the elder closer to him. Another hand reaches up to Jimin’s face as he lets his eyes trail on Jimin from head to toe.

            “I lied when I said you were ranked seventh in look because I was too shy to admit that, yes hyung, you were and you are beautiful indeed.” His gaze falls on Jimin’s eyes. “I wasn’t joking when I said your eyes are pretty.”

            His gaze trails down to Jimin’s swollen lips. “I always wanted to know how your lips feel like. ‘Are they soft? They look like one though. Will they be perfect against mine?’ And today, I got the answers already.” He leans down so their lips brushed together for a moment before he pulls away.

            “Your lips are damn perfect against mine, as if they were made for me.” Jimin shudders as a respond and his breath hitches when Jungkook’s hand trails down from his face to his neck instead.

            “All your curves and your edges, I badly want to learn them.” Jimin’s face blooms pink and it reddens when Jungkook lets his hand runs down his side and rests at the curve of his waist.

            “I badly want to feel them.” Jungkook whispers, eyes getting dark every second passes. “To be exact, every single of them.”

            Jungkook lets out a husky laugh and he leans his forehead against Jimin’s, closing his eyes as he does. “But hyung,” he pauses. Words get stuck in his throat but he really needs to voice them out. Perhaps he tries so hard that his lips quiver and a single tear rolls down from his closed eyes. But it doesn’t go further because a thumb brushes gently against his cheek, grazing it off.

            Jungkook’s lips tug up into a small smile when he feels a palm is pressed hesitantly against it. He draws a large amount of air, opening his eyes to meet Jimin’s gaze and peels Jimin’s hand off his face.

            “The thing I regret the most is,” Jungkook’s gaze flickers down and up again before it is locked with Jimin’s.

“That I didn’t treat you like you should be. I was being a jerk to you, I know. But I swear it wasn’t because of pride because it was nothing when it came to you. I was just too lost in the love you showered me with that I forgot, I ing forgot that you deserved to feel how it was like to be loved back.”

            At this time, Jungkook’s face is already wet in tears and he holds Jimin’s hands firm, not letting the elder to wipe them away. “Let me cry. Let me feel the pain too. Besides, you’ve been hurting too much so-“

            He doesn’t get to finish his sentence because Jimin’s lips are already against his, firm and also assuring that Jungkook shuts his eyes close and allows himself to melt.

            Jimin feels Jungkook’s grip loosening so he tugs away his hands and uses them to cup Jungkook’s wet face gently. He pulls away slightly, just enough to whisper something against Jungkook’s lips.

            “Please don’t. No matter what you did to me, I still don’t want you to get hurt, even a bit. So don’t cry and I’ll never be in pain again.”

            He watches as Jungkook’s eyelashes flutter weakly, as if the younger is debating whether or not to open his eyes but he does once Jimin nuzzles their noses together. Jungkook’s eyes are blood-shot but at least tears are no longer falling.

            “I guess I’m really a fool then.”

            Jungkook finally cracks up a smile and Jimin lets his thumb to graze over Jungkook’s lips to admire the beautiful curve.

            “So,” Jimin, with a teasing smile on his face, trails down his hand to press its palm against Jungkook’s chest. The smile turns into a seducing smirk as he feels how fast Jungkook’s heartbeat is.

            “After letting me know how you felt about me all this time, would you care to show me how much you want me?”

            Jungkook unexpectedly groans, light suddenly return to his eyes. “Hyung,” he pushes Jimin to the bed and pins him down or more like straddling on him, smirking at the surprised look on the elder’s face.

            “I told you, I badly want you.” he emphasises the ‘badly’ word and doesn’t waste any time to prove it. He starts with the ‘ing’ delicious lips of Jimin, kissing it hard and passionately.

            “I love you hyung.” He whispers those words in the kiss.

            Jimin closes his eyes and allows himself to melt under Jungkook. “Then, let me know.” He whispers back, mouth forming a smirk but then a moan escapes from it when Jungkook trails kissed down to his neck. He bites his lips in embarrassment as Jungkook looks up at him with hooded eyes.

            “I need you to assure me if I’ve let you known.”

            “How?”

            “By making noises, of course.”

            Jimin wonders if Jungkook has secretly watched too many by judging how playful the maknae is but he doesn’t have time for that because damn, Jungkook starts to and at his neck, turning him completely into a mess and he can’t even pause to catch his breath. He blames himself for being too loud and sensitive also but he doesn’t mind to assure Jungkook that he knows it.

            He knows that Jungkook loves him because right now he obviously feels like he is loved back. The only thing he regrets is why he doesn’t confess sooner.

            But still, Jungkook deserves a scolding from him the next day because hell, the younger left marks on his entire body or to be exact, on every inch of skin he could laid his lips on.

            “Jeon Jungkook! Why do you love me this much?!” he screams in frustration, showing his torso to the younger which is full with teeth marks and worse, they are blaring red.

            And Jungkook just silences him with a soft kiss on his lips, after rambling about “But you love it though. And stop screaming, you already did last night, a lot.” In which earns him a glare from the elder, who kisses back nevertheless.
