    There was ten seconds left on the clock. Jungkook had the puck gliding  as he moved around bodies, trying to avoid getting knocked into. He crashed into a large guy but gritted his teeth as he went for the puck and kept it moving towards the goal. He was so close, could feel the seconds ticking down before he went to shoot , the buzzer going off exactly as Jungkook got crashed into, making him not really see if he made the shot or not.    His head throbbed a bit as he took the hit but he must have made the shot as his teammates came up to him, patting him on the back.   "Good job Jungkook !" Someone of them said as they skated off the ice with smiles on their faces.   "Jungkook ! My office after clean up." His coach shouted not happy. Jungkook's smile faltered as he took of his skates and made his way towards the shower.   "Jungkook-ah ! That was a great shot. Too bad you completely ignored the fact that Shinwon was open and could have helped." Namjoon, Jungkook's teammate and friend said.   "Yeah well I didn't need his help as I still made the shot." Jungkook said cockily making Namjoon shake his head in disapproval.    "Shower up kiddo. You're in for a talk." Yoongi, Jungkook's other friend said as he patted Jungkook's shoulder on his way out of the locker room.   Jungkook showered quickly, knowing their coach didn't like to wait. He stuffed his uniform in his bag and threw his pads into his locker before skipping to his coaches office. He knocked on the door before coming in.   "You wanted to see me Coach Lee ?" Jungkook said.   "Have a seat." Coach Lee said. Jungkook did as he was told, looking at his elder curiously.   "Do I look happy Jungkook ?" The coach asked. Jungkook took in his face, eyes solid, lips straight.   "...no ?" Jungkook said.   "Do you wanna know why I'm not happy ?" He asked.   "Sure ?" Jungkook said.   "Because of your ability on the ice. Your attitude, how you play, everything. It's not making me happy." Coach said.   "Coach I-"   "Shh. I know what you're thinking. Honestly you're a good player Jungkook. A great one even. It's just, how you move on the ice makes me cringe. How you are too aggressive with it and I know this is a aggressive sport but you're using your aggression on all the wrong things. Your turns aren't really accurate and you can barely control yourself."   "Coach..." Jungkook didn't know what to say. No one had ever told him this. Was he really that sloppy on the ice ?   "Now I personally think you need help. You need to see the ice from a different perspective. So, starting Monday, you'll be taking a couple weeks to be one with the ice again." Coach Lee said.   "How will I do that coach ?" Jungkook asked.   "I talked to Coach Song. You'll be taking private lessons with her best figure skater." Coach Lee said smiling. Jungkook's eyes widened. Figure skater ?!   .   "You'll be practice with the figure skaters ?" Yoongi blinked ,shocked.   "No. We can't have you around those annoying little ice fairies." Namjoon cried. They were all at their dorm.. It was thankfully the weekend and the young men could finally relax their muscles, play a few video games, eat terrible but delicious food and sleep. But Jungkook couldn't sleep as he couldn't come to terms with his new fate.   "Ice fairies indeed. Have you ever tried to talk to Kim Seokjin. If anyone has ice shoved up far in their it's him." Yoongi said.   "You seniors scare me hyung." Namjoon said.   "Guys can we get back to me ? What am I going to do ? How should I convince coach to reconsider?" Jongkook asked.   "Well honestly you are a bit wild on the ice." Namjoon said after a moment of silence. "Maybe one lesson won't hurt."   Ugh Jungkook whined, shoving his face back into his pillow.   "You guys aren't any help. I'm going to sleep. Get out of my room." Jungkook said.   "Wow we are your respectable elders and this is how you treat us ?" Yoongi said.   "Yes."   "You know what, let the ice fairies have you."   Jungkook sighed. One practice wouldn't hurt right ? And if he miraculously got better from that, maybe his coach would put him back on the ice.     .   Jungkook felt out of place. He didn't know why. This was the same ice rink he always practiced on when their rink was getting renovated and same stands he saw and same everything. It was just instead of the musky smell of hockey players, there were the figure skaters. The ice skaters. They were basically done their practice as most were leaving but Jungkook still got a sight of a few twirls and glides and moves he didn't know the names of.   "Ah you must be Jungkook-ssi!" A woman caught Jungkook's attention. "I am Song Younghee but you can call me coach Song like everyone else." She said.   Jungkook blowed, introducing himself to his elder.   "I bet you're excited to get on the ice. Did you bring skates ?" Coach Song asked and Jungkook nodded holding up his bag.   "Good put them on and meet me on the ice in five. I have to go get your personal coach." She said smiling and Jungkook nodded. He tiredly unlaced his sneakers before putting on his skates. He glided on the ice skating towards the middle before waiting. After a few moments of skating in circles, he saw Coach Song skating towards him with a boy around her height.   "Jungkook-ssi I'd like you to meet one of my best skaters and your new teacher, Park Jimin." Coach Song said.    Park Jimin was a short boy. Thin with strong legs and a blinding smile on his face. His hair was black and his eyes a bright brown. This eyes were pretty interesting, wide in a way but attractive. He had a tiny nose and plush lips, cheeks a bit squishy and hair fluffy. Over all he was everything Jungkook was expecting in a ice fairy.   "Nice to meet you." Jungkook said bowing.    "I'll leave you two to get to know each other. Jimin-ah please be nice." Coach Song said before skating off.   "So..." Jimin started. "I heard you need to learn how to be graceful."    "Yeah. Look I don't want to be here and you probably don't want to either so let's just get this over with." Jungkook said already tired. Did he even sleep last night ?   Jimin's face scrunched up at that. "Don't be rude kid. I'm here to help you. So let's teach your ungrateful how to skate."   Jungkook blinked at the sudden change in Jimin. It's like something switched in him and it had Jungkook appalled.    "Start off by doing a few laps." Jimin commanded. Jungkook glared at the shorter but did as he was told. He knew how to skate obviously a few laps would be nothing. As he was doing them Jimin's eyes followed him, his unique gaze sharp as Jungkook finished and skated up towards him.    "Hmm let's see something." Jimin said. He skated over towards the edge of the rink and grabbed a few cones. He placed them about three feet from each other.   "Skate through these. Like you have a stick and puck ready to shoot." Jimin said and Jungkook did as he was told. Pretending to get ready to score, he did sharp turns around the cones before shooting.   "Wow. I can see why you're here." Jimin said skating up towards Jungkook. "You have no grace at all. Your formation is sloppy and it looks like you are trying to crave the ice with your skates."   "I didn't come here to be offended." Jungkook said.   "But you came here to get taught. Now unless you want to be on the bench forever, you'll listen to me." Jimin said.   "I don't need you. What do you even know about hockey anyway you little fairy." Jungkook hissed.   "What did you just call me ?" Jimin glared.   "You heard me. A little, ice, fairy." Jungkook retorted.   "Whatever. I won't teach you. Have fun being on the bench for the next three years." Jimin said skating off.    Whatever Jungkook thought. Jimin was . He didn't need lessons and he damn sure didn't need them from a rude ice fairy.    .   "What do you mean you won't go to the lessons? Coach won't like this." Namjoon said.    "Look hyung I'll just prove to him that I don't need them. I can't stand that guy. He was such a ." Jungkook grumbled. They were walking to the ice hockey locker room.   "Are you sure you weren't a ?" Yoongi asked and Jungkook gave him a look of of course not.   "Coach can we talk ?" Jungkook asked as he walked into the elders office.   "Jungkook ? What's wrong ?" Coach Lee asked.   "I can't do the lessons with the skaters. Not even that , it's just I don't need them."   "Jungkook-"   "No seriously coach. I'll practice more. I'll put more effort into the ice but I know I don't need the lessons." Jungkook said.   "And I know you do. My word is final. Coach Song told me her skater said he didn't want to work with you because you were rude. Jungkook-ah people are trying to help you here. I know you'll learn from this experience. It might be hard and uncomfortable now but just wait until you get back on the ice and actually see yourself improve." Coach Lee said.   "Coach.."   "Give it two weeks. If you don't see any improvement after then we will try a different method."   "...okay." Jungkook sighed. His coach seemed really interested in helping him and the emotion in his eyes made Jungkook feel bad.   "Well since you're here you might as well come to the rink. I wanted to talk to the whole team." Coach said and Jungkook nodded, following the older.   The rink was filled with boys practicing. They were doing drills, shoots and other things and Jungkook and the coach walked down the steps.   "Team come in !" Coach shouted as he blew the whistle three times. All the players skated over and those who weren't on the ice moved closer towards them.   "Today I wanted to tell you guys some good news. We're getting a new player. He just transferred from Gwangju. Hoseok come in here." Coach Lee yelled and a average size male came into the stadium.    "Hello everyone. I'm Jung Hoseok. I hope you'll all accept me on your team." Hoseok said. Voice tinged with his accent but his smile was welcoming.   "Nice to meet you. I'm the captain and the goalie. Namjoon." Namjoon said shaking Hoseok's hand. "What position do you play."    "Center." Hoseok said and Jungkook froze. He played center too.    "Cool why don't you show us a little something on the ice." Namjoon suggested.   "Yeah we gotta see if you're good or not." Yoongi said.   "Boys be nice." Coach warned. "But please, show us something Hoseok."   Hoseok nodded and went to the ice. A few boys followed him ready to play defenders while Namjoon went up to the goal.   Hoseok was fast. Jungkook shouldn't have blinked as one moment he was skating with the puck and the next he was twisting around the defenders, blocking their rough pushes and sticks. He skated around them with such fluidity that a few boys awed. He didn't hesitate to shoot. The puck was a centimeter away from Namjoon as he tried to block it but it brushed past him, making a goal.   "Wow." Was all their coach said. Jungkook couldn't help but envy. Wow indeed.   .   "Am I getting replaced ?" Jungkook asked.   "You're not getting replaced." Namjoon said.   "Eh you might be getting replaced." Yoongi said.   "Hyung you're not helping at all." Namjoon hissed. Yoongi shrugged.   "Listen don't even worry about Hoseok-ssi."Namjoon said.   "How can I not worry about him. He plays my position and everything. He's great and likable. Have you seen him smile ? I want to hate him but I feel like a ." Jungkook said, crushed.   "Well one, you are a . Two, you're right he's such a nice guy. I saw him helping old ladies across the street the other day." Yoongi said.   "Aww." Namjoon cooed.   "I thought the same thing as he saved a kitten from being hit by a kid on a bike, it was wonderful." Yoongi said.   "Hyungs you're not helping." Jungkook moaned.   "Sorry." They both said.   Jungkook had to go back to practicing with Jimin today. He said goodbye to his hyungs who gave him smiles before departing. As jongkook entered the ice stadium he heard music playing. It was something soft but powerful, catching his attention immediately. He looked to see a guy skating by himself. Odd, Jungkook came specifically after the ice skaters practice was done, so why was this guy still here ?    Jungkook was about to say something but his words stopped as the guy moved with grace. His legs moving with ease as his eyes was closed and Jungkook could tell he was in the music. He did one of those twirls then jumps and landed with a loud sound but was flawless none the less.   Jungkook didn't even notice he was staring until the guys wide brown eyes looked directly into his. The music ended and Jungkook finally realized what he was doing.   "Ah I'm sorry." Jungkook bowed. "Just I usually use the ice around this time."   "Oh my bad." The guy said, voice deep. He skated easily and Jungkook got a better view of the thin male. Maybe it was a ice fairy thing but the skin tight clothing was almost unbearable as he got a perfect image of the slim figure.   "I just wanted to practice one more routine." The guy said.   "It's okay umm..."   "Kim Taehyung but most people call me-"   "Tae-Tae ! I thought you went home what are you-" Jungkook almost groaned at that voice. "Jungkook-ssi?"   "Jimin-ssi." Jungkook said.   "Oooo I smell tension." Taehyung giggled. "Is this the kid you were telling me about ? He's cute."   "Tae !" Jimin squeaked as Jungkook blushed. "You get out of here. Don't you have an test to study for ?" Jimin said.    "Ugh don't remind me. It's honestly the not even a month into school and it's my fifth test." Taehyung said coming off the ice to put on his shoes. He was around Jungkook's height now and he gave Jimin a smile.   "Let's eat dinner tonight okay ?" Taehyung asked and Jimin nodded, letting the taller pull him into a hug. Jungkook cocked an eyebrow at that before pulling out his skates.   "See ya." Taehyung said waving and Jimin nodded before looking at Jungkook.   "What ?" Jungkook blinked at the stare.   "Are you actually going to listen to me this time and not be a ?" Jimin asked.   "Are you actually going to teach and not be a criticizing ?" Jungkook retorted.   "Wow guess not. Get on the ice." Jimin said.   "Listen you can't keep telling me what to do." Jungkook said as he got into the ice.   "Uh technically I can since I'm supposed to be teaching you." Jimin said. Jungkook watched him tie his black skates carefully, his nimble fingers tying tight loops before we got into the ice as well.   "I didn't come back for you to just teach me. I need to get better." Jungkook said.   "I know that's why we are here." Jimin said. "So are you going to attempt to get better this time or are you gonna sulk on the ice again ?"   Jungkook glared but didn't say anything. God he hated this guy. Jimin pulled out the cones again.    "Go around these." Jimin commanded. "Five times."   Jungkook almost said something but he saw the skating coach walk by and bit his tongue. Jungkook skated around the cones. On his third round Jimin had slid up next to Jungkook almost making the latter crash into him.   "What the ?" Jungkook hissed.   "I was thinking you need opticals in your way. You won't turn as swiftly with anything making you turn so you need a sort of block. And what better way to use a human as one." Jimin said. "We'll end practice when you don't hit me."   "You know, I don't like you." Jungkook said.   "The feeling is mutual ice troll." Jimin hissed. Jungkook was appalled for a moment. No this fairy did not just call him a troll. Jungkook almost crashed into him and Jimin snorted. Oh it was on.   .   "What do you mean Hoseok wants to eat lunch with us ?!" Jungkook squeaked.   "Exactly what I said." Namjoon said.   "Why ?" Jungkook asked.   "Well he's new here and I'm the captain so I will treat my teammates with care. Besides he's cool." Namjoon said.   "I don't like him." Jungkook huffed.   "Yeah yeah but you're just jealous." Yoongi said. They were walking to the cafe to get something to eat and spotted Hoseok at a table.   "Hello Yoongi-hyung. Namjoon-ah and uh..I don't recall your name." Hoseok greeted.   "This kid is Jungkook-ah. He's on the team as well just practicing with a personal teacher for a few weeks." Namjoon said.   "Hi." Jungkook bowed. "I'm gonna get in line. Be right back hyungs." Jungkook said quickly going to the buffet line.   He grabbed a tray, some chop sticks and a spoon. As Jungkook was waiting he didn't expect to see that figure skater from the other day.   "Oh Jungkook-ssi was it ?" The guy said. Jungkook blinked. If he thought the guy looked attractive on the ice he was beautiful off it. Dressed in a white shirt tucked into black pants and a jean jacket with yellow circle glasses that were pushed onto his head. His brown hair a bit off center and he looked great.   "Yeah um Tae Tae ?" Jungkook tried to remember. The guy laughed, it was deep and made his grin wide.   "Oh no we aren't that close yet. It's Taehyung but if you want to call me Tae Tae I get to call you Kookie." Taehyung said.   "I'll think about that offer." Jungkook said making Taehyung smile.   "You're more interesting off the ice. Too bad you're a troll." Taehyung said pouting.   "What's that supposed to mean ?" Jungkook asked, a bit of offense.   "Trolls and fairies don't get along kiddo." Taehyung explained.   "I know but you don't seem too bad." Jungkook said honestly. "Maybe we could be friends."   "Being my friend comes with many requirements, like greetings and hugs." Taehyung said.   "And nicknames ?"Jungkook asked.   "Especially nicknames." Taehyung grinned.   Jungkook thought about it for a moment but Taehyung seemed cool. Way cooler than Jimin.   "Okay hyung." Jungkook smiled back.   .   Jungkook and Taehyung got closer. To the point where Taehyung would stay and watch Jungkook practice with Jimin sometimes. Or well, more like argue. Jungkook told the older he didn't have to stay but Taehyung insisted that it was much more entertaining than what we would do if he left so he didn't mind. Jimin didn't mind either as him and Taehyung were best friends. Jungkook didn't know why he frowned every time he saw the two walk in together all happily and giggly but he did.    They were doing a different set of practice this time. Jimin was teaching him how to spin. Jungkook at first thought anyone could spin and that wouldn't be really helpful on the ice but Jimin insisted that it was a method of control. Jimin showed him a simple one, skating around first to build up momentum before he turned. His body was graceful in a way that Jungkook knew he wasn't. His eyes couldn't help but trail down to Jimin's legs. They were nice and strong from years of skating and looked powerful but he moved them so tenderly.   "Jungkook-ssi?" The sound of his name pulled him out of his thoughts.   "What ?" Jungkook snapped though there wasn't much bite.   "You're staring." Jimin said tone teasing and Jungkook heard Taehyung's snort in the distance.   "N-no I wasn't shut up and teach me what you did." Jungkook said, feeling his cheeks heat up as he looked down. He missed the amused look on Jimin's face but the older showed him. It wasn't easy. Jungkook didn't know how to stop himself or would do too many turns he would get dizzy.   "I don't like this." Jungkook said as they took a break. Jimin was skating by himself on the ice while he was next to Taehyung.   "It's not about what you like you silly troll." Jungkook glared at him. "It's about if you can improve and incorporate this in your hockey stuff."    "It's just it's.."   "Hard ?" Taehyung suggested and Jungkook bit his tongue as he would never willing say something like that out loud. He wasn't a quitter or a complainer but he sure felt like he was doing that a lot ever since he met Jimin.   A hand met Jungkook's hair and Jungkook turned to Taehyung.   "You're cute."    "S-shut up hyung !" Jungkook snapped pulling Taehyung's big hand out his head before stomping back on the ice. He wasn't a quitter.   .   It was finally the weekend and Jungkook's hyungs decided they wanted to enjoys Seoul's night life for a bit and dragged Jungkook out. He barely had time to put on a nice button up and loose jeans before he was pulled out of his dorm.   "Yes I love street food." Yoongi said happily as he stuffed more food in his mouth.   "I thought you loved sleep ?" Namjoon asked.   "I can love both. I'm not a picky man." Yoongi said.   "That is a lie." Jungkook said because Yoongi was the definition of picky.   "Hey guys Hoseok-ah just texted me where are we, he's bored." Namjoon said.   "We're home studying." Jungkook said not wanting to see Jung Hoseok's stupid "good at everything and a blessing to the human race" face today. But luck was not on his side as Hoseok showed up ten minutes later looking like he stepped out of a magazine or something the way his orange hair shined along with his smile.   "Hey guys. How dare you have fun without me." Hoseok said laughing and the others, excluding Jungkook joined in.   They ended up going to the mall and Jungkook and Namjoon were bickering about which type of jeans were better when someone called the younger's name. Jungkook looked up to see Taehyung in a loose green shirt and dark loose pants and smiled.   "Tae Tae hyung !"   "Kookie my cute friend what are you doing ?" Taehyung asked as he pulled the younger into a hug.   "What do people normally do in malls hyung ?" Jungkook said rolling his eyes as Taehyung pouted at him. Taehyung was about to say something when the high voice of Jimin was heard.   "Tae-Tae how could you leave me when I-oh." Jimin stopped at he caught sight of the four taller boys next to Taehyung.   "Hello." Jimin bowed.   "Hey." Namjoon said bowing back and Yoongi nodded. Jungkook just glared while Hoseok bowed back with a smile.   "Why don't we join you guys ?" Taehyung asked.   "Sure the more the marry." Namjoon said.   "Tae I don't think it's a good idea." Jimin whispered to his taller friend and Taehyung pouted.   "Why not." Taehyung whined.   "You know hyung will be upset." Jimin said his eyes sliding over the four males. "He doesn't like trolls."    "What did you just call us fairy ?" Jungkook hissed.   "Tae Tae. Minnie. Why'd you guys leave so quickly. Oh." All eyes slid to a very handsome and tall male. His hair was blonde and his brought out the color in the males skin. Everyone gulped as they knew who it was. Kim Seokjin, the head figure skater.   Namjoon's face immediately turned into a glare.   "What are you two doing ?" Seokjin questioned.   "Nothing hyung we were just-"    "I was greeting Kookie." Taehyung interrupted making Jimin glare at him.   "You two know the rules. We don't associate with trolls. Not even cute baby ones. Jimin-ah is an exception on the ice but off of it, no." Seokjin said.   "Hyung I wouldn't dare hang out with him." Jimin said and Jungkook looked offended. "I was trying to tell Taehyung-ah to come on but he wouldn't listen." Jimin said.   "Wow way to throw me under the bus." Taehyung said.   "It's okay Jiminnie, Taehyung-ah just wants practice to be worse Monday." Seokjin said.   "Aww hyung." Taehyung whined. "He's not even a bad troll though. He let's me hold him and he laughs at my jokes." Taehyung said wrapping his arms around Jungkook's head and holding him close like he was a toy.   "He's the devil reincarnated." Jimin implied.   "It's okay we don't want to associate with you ice fairy scrum either." Namjoon said and Seokjin looked up to glare at him.   "Say that again troll." Seokjin said stepping closer.   "Okay we should go. Come on." Jimin said tugging Taehyung arm and Taehyung agreed because no one wanted to see Seokjin when he was angry.   "Bye Kookie. I'll text you." Taehyung whispered the last part making Jungkook nod before the ice skaters dragged their head away before he clawed Namjoon's eyes out.    "Wow who were they ? And what's with the whole Fairy-Troll thing ?" Hoseok asked.   "It's kind of a long story but the ice skaters and hockey players have never gotten along in our school. It stared fifty years back when Moon Eunmi the best figure skater at our school dated the captain of the hockey team Song Hyungsook. It wasn't until Hyungsook found out that Eunmi was only using him for his fame as the best player and her parents wanted him to marry him for money that the rivalry started. Thank god it did because the ice fairies are nothing but snobby es." Yoongi explained.   "Wow this is the most I ever heard you talk hyung." Hoseok said and Jungkook snorted at that.    "But it is true. Ever since then they all seemed to end up being jerks or es. that Jungkook-ah has to see one every day let alone associate with one." Namjoon said.   "Hey that hyung isn't bad. He's a bit weird but not bad. It does he's a fairy otherwise I'd introduce you guys to him." Jungkook said.   "Could you ?" Hoseok asked and Jungkook cocked an eyebrow at him.   "Why ?" Jungkook asked.   "I don't know...he was cute." Hoseok said an Namjoon looked like he died right then and then.   "No. That is an official unspoken rule on this campus. Hockey players do not date the fairies. We don't want you to end up like our great leader Hyungsook. It's best you stay away from him." Namjoon said.   "But Jungkook-ah is close to him." Hoseok whined.   "Jungkook-ah is kind of forced to be in their environment. You though, you're not. Besides they're way more cute guys in this campus. Have you seen Jackson Wang ?" Namjoon said.   "But my type isn't muscles and puppy eyes. It's thin frame, puppy eyes and a pretty smile." Hoseok said and laughed when Yoongi gagged.    "I have to get away from this kind of talk, it's ruining my ears." Yoongi said and grabbed Jungkook by the wrist. "Let's go check out the beds."    "Okay hyung." Jungkook laughed. He tried not to think about Hoseok having a interest in Taehyung. Fairies and Trolls don't mix.   .   Jungkook was expecting to have practice with Jimin every weekday until one day he wasn't. It was a Wednesday and Jungkook had a essay to start writing in three hours and Jimin was no where in sight. Jungkook had waited a good ten minuets but the shorter didn't show up.   "Hyung where's Jimin-ssi?" Jungkook texted Taehyung.   "Jiminnie isn't with you ? He might be at practice." Taehyung responded.   "This is practice." Jungkook sent confused.   "No silly. Jiminnie isn't just a ice skater. He dances as well. He might be working overtime for dance or something's keeping him up. Go drag him to the ice. Or maybe to bed. He's been stressing all week."    "Dancing...thanks hyung. I'll see what I can do to the little fairy."    "Text me later ! Don't hurt my baby." Taehyung sent and Jungkook rolled his eyes before heading to the performing arts center.   He had never been there before. Never needed too as he was a anthropology major. He found cultures interesting but he also like ice hockey. Entering the building, he asked a random girl walking by where the dance studio was and she directed him to the third floor. Jungkook could hear music as he moved closer towards a certain studio. He peaked through the door to see Jimin moving. The music was slow and had a R&B tune to it and Jimin moved to it perfectly. Jungkook could see his expression through the mirror and the older's eyes fluttered closed as his hands trailed down from his neck to his pelvis. They reopened as Jimin's hand laid flat on his stomach as he did a hip . Jungkook watched as the small boy glided against the floor, his feet twirling and arms moving powerfully in beckoning motions.   Jungkook slowly opened the door, glad the loud music blocked the creaking of the door. Jimin didn't see him yet and Jungkook took this as a perfect change to jump out at Jimin making the smaller yelp and stumble over his feet, falling onto Jungkook. This didn't turn out well as Jungkook wasn't ready for Jimin's body weight and they both crashed to the floor.   "Ow." Jungkook groaned as he landed with Jimin on top of him.   "Jungkook-ssi what the heck ?!" Jimin snapped and hit Jungkook on the chest.   "You what the heck ! You skipping out on practice just to be dancing like some frilly ballerina ?" Jungkook teased and Jimin glared.   "I'm not a ballerina you jerk. And I wasn't skipping out just lost track of time." Jimin said.   "Whatever. Can you get off of me ?" Jungkook asked and Jimin face turned pink as he pushed himself off of the younger.   Jimin let out a sigh as he sat cross and legged on the floor. His tiny hands coming to his face as the music finally stopped.   "What's wrong with you ?" Jungkook asked.  "Not that I care but Tae-hyung says you've been over working and I need you in tip top shape to make me better."    "Geez thanks nice to know you care." Jimin spat out negativity, hands still covering his face. "It's nothing."   Jungkook could tell a lie when he heard one. "Look at me." He said but Jimin didn't budge. "I said look at me." Jungkook said tugging Jimin's tiny hands away in one of his while the other cupped Jimin's chin.   "What's bothering you ?"    "Why do you care ?"    "I don't but I can't have you skipping practices. Now don't make me ask a third time." Jungkook said and Jimin managed to wiggle one of his hands away just to smack Jungkook.   "I'm still older than you kid. But since you care so much," Jungkook rolled his eyes at the sarcasm. "I'll tell you. I've just been stressed. You're not the only one who needs to get better you know ? We have a competition coming up and I'm no where near ready. I also, thanks to both of our coaches have to make sure you're presentable for your first game. None of this is fun and it's all time consuming." Jimin gushed out.   Jungkook didn't say anything for a while before he grabbed Jimin's face again. "When's the last time you've slept properly ?"   "Before I met you."   "Aww you're dreaming of me sweetheart ?" Jungkook mocked and Jimin shoved him away. "But if you're serious then follow me." Jungkook said getting up.   "What ?" Jimin blinked.   "Follow me. Come on, get your stuff." Jungkook said and Jimin sighed as he grabbed his phone and bag before being dragged out of the room.   "Where are we going ?" Jimin asked as that were now outside. It was cold and Jimin's sweat was chilling his skin. Jungkook could have at least let him take a shower.   "Somewhere to help you relax." Jungkook said as they entered a building. Jimin was a bit skeptical about everything.   "You're not trying to kill me or something right ?" Jimin asked as they walked through the dark halls.   "Of course not. I'm saving that joyous moment if I don't improve before my game." Jungkook said before grabbing Jimin's wrist. "Now hurry you're wasting precious sleep time."   Jimin didn't get a chance to say anything as Jungkook opened a door to a room. It was dark until Jimin heard a click and a bunch of decorative lights that hung around the wall lit up. They were shining down gently on a gigantic pile of blankets and pillows.   "What is this ?" Jimin asked as Jungkook plugged his phone up and played soft music.   "A place I come to sleep. No one really comes down here so we won't be bothered."    "We ?" Jimin squeaked.   "Uh yeah if you think I'll pass up the opportunity to get some sleep then you're wrong. Now take your shoes off and lay down." Jungkook said. Jimin huffed but did as he was told. He flopped down on the pile and practice sunk in.   "Woah what is this ?" Jimin asked again.   "A therapeutic water bed." Jungkook said laying down a good space away from him.   "These things still exist ? Feels like I'm floating." Jimin giggled.   "Good now sleep." Jungkook said throwing a pillow at Jimin's head.   "Who will wake us up ?"   "If we're lucky, no one. But I set a alarm just in case. Now rest ice fairy. You need to relax." Jungkook said and Jimin laid there with a pout. He yawned, taking in the gentle music and the way the water bed moved under his muscles making his eyes fluttered.   "Shut up troll." And like that, snuggled in blankets of fluff and pillows, he fell sleep.   .   Jungkook woke up to his phone going off. He reached out and hit 'stop' before settling down. He buried himself deeper into the bed and felt it move gently under him. He rolled over on his stomach and blinked as he felt his arm come in contact with something solid. Jungkooo opened his eyes to see soft thick black hair spread across the blankets. He could see the long length of Jimin's eyelashes and the tiny slope of his nose. His tiny hands were curled up near his lips and he just looked like the most squishiest thing ever.    Jungkook didn't know why but his hand moved to those soft tresses and marveled at the softness. Jimin practically preened into his touch, nimble fingers twitching as he did so.  'Aww' Jungkook thought. This was cute. Jimin was like a baby or maybe a puppy. No definitely a kitten.   "Kitty wake up." Jungkook said poking Jimin's squishy cheek and wow was this guy soft everywhere? His cheek felt like dough. Jimin shuffled a bit, groaning in annoyance at Jungkook's intruding hands. It was only until Jimin used a lightening fast grip and grabbed Jungkook's fingers, stopping them from touching him. Jungkook thought he woke up but Jimin grip loosened and he settled back down, Jungkook's fingers now in his tiny grip.   Okay no matter how much he disliked Jimin he could admit a sleepy Jimin is an adorable one.  Jungkook grabbed his phone with his free hand and snapped a picture. Or maybe three but who was counting. Done with his antics, Jungkook moved to place a hand on Jimin's back and shake him.   "Jimin-ssi wake up." Jungkook said but Jimin just whined.    "Don't wanna." Jimin grumbled, sleep talking.   "Jimin-ssi you need to go home. It's getting late." Jungkook tried again. Jimin denied again.   "Come on kitten wake up." Jungkook said taking his hand back as he stood up. The bed sloshed under his movements and Jimin moved in annoyance. "I'll take you to your bed." Jungkook said and Jimin opened his eyes to glare at Jungkook.   "What ?" Jungkook asked.   "My body aches." Jimin said.   "Whose fault is that ?" Jungkook asked.   "Yours for not letting me stretch properly after a dance." Jimin hissed.   "You're so much cuter unconscious." Jungkook said and Jimin's glare deepened.   "Do you want to be unconscious?" He threatened.   "Sure baby hands. Do your worst."    Jimin wanted to lunge at him, he really did, wanting to punch him right in his stupid face, but as he tried to sit up he winced.   "Ouch." He hissed, falling back down.   "Damn you weren't joking." Jungkook said and Jimin gave him a face that screamed 'does this look like a joke ?!'   "God you're such a child. All tiny and full of anger. You fairies really know how to treat someone." Jungkook said as he reached for Jimin's legs.   "What are you doing ?" Jimin asked confused as Jungkook stuffed his shoes back on his feet.   "Since you keep complaining, and since I don't want to hear you complaining, I'll help." Jungkook said before his hand slid up under Jimin's knees and the other his torso and picked him up. Jimin let out a yelp and quickly clung to Jungkook.   "Let me down." Jimin said.   "Do you honestly think you can walk ?" Jungkook asked.   "I could but it would be very slow and painful." Jimin said.   "All the more to let me carry you." Jungkook said.   "But why are you carrying me like this ? Like some girl." Jimin said almost sounding disgusted.   "Do you wanna get on my back ?" Jungkook asked and Jimin nodded. After careful putting him down and picking him back up, they left the secret room. It was dark outside, the moon up high and very few people walking around campus.   "What time is it ?" Jimin asked.   "Almost midnight."    "Midnight ?! You mean we were asleep for six hours ?" Jimin half shouted.   "Yup." Jungkook said simply. He repositioned Jimin, holding his thighs tightly making Jimin squeak.   "You know you make a lot of girly noises for a boy." Jungkook said.   "Shut up ." Jimin said, hiding his flush by laying his head on Jungkook's shoulder.   "Hey don't go back to sleep. I don't know which hall you live in." Jungkook said.   "Not sleeping and I live in Seokryu hall." Jimin mumbled.   They were both silent for a moment, Jimin listening to Jungkook's footsteps as he walked while Jungkook was trying hard not to think about the light body on top of him. They reached his hall shortly and Jimin swiped his keycard to open the door.   "Which floor Jimin-ssi?" Jungkook asked.   "Third." Jimin yawned.   "Which room ?" Jungkook asked.   "304."    Jungkook nodded as the elevator opened and they stepped in. Jimin leaned over to pressed the button '3' and Jungkook stiffened as Jimin's hair brushed his cheek. When the door finally opened, Jungkook walked off and down to Jimin's room. Jimin used his card again to unlock his door and Jungkook walked in. He took of Jimin's shoes and then his own before making his way through the livingroom.   "Which room ?" Jungkook asked.   "The right but can you take me to the bathroom ? I need to shower." Jimin asked and Jungkook nodded, following Jimin's finger to the bathroom.    As Jimin was showering, Jungkook looked around the older's dorm. It was suite styled, two private bedrooms, one bathroom, a living space and a kitchen and dining space. Jungkook didn't need to know who Jimin was rooming with as Taehyung's name was written in large block stickers on his door. Their dorm was nice. Taehyung had left the light on for Jimin so Jungkook could take in the sight of their warm earth tones and cool colored house. Their walls were decorated with paintings and Jungkook blinked at the self portrait of Jimin. The ice skater looked younger in it but Jungkook could tell it was him. The picture was dark, in shades of black, gray and the darkest of blue. The only color that stood out where Jimin's eyes. They were like color of the sky or maybe the sea. Jungkook couldn't really tell but they were filled with so much emotion he couldn't look away.   "Oh you're still here." Jungkook turned around to see Jimin holding onto the walk. His hair damp and pajamas a size too big.   "What are you doing ? Go lay down." Jungkook said.   "I'm trying." Jimin said taking a step on wobbly legs. Jungkook rolled his eyes before coming to help him. He wrapped an arm around Jimin's waist and picked him up. The small yelp from Jimin's mouth was satisfying.   "You're so stubborn. Learn how to ask for help okay hyung ?" Jungkook said as he placed Jimin on his bed.   "What did you just call me ?" Jimin asked.   "Oh uh I meant Jimin-ssi." Jungkook corrected.   "No it's okay. You can call me hyung. At least it's better than your mocking "Jimin-ssi."" Jimin said.   "Then have to drop the honorific as well." Jungkook said.   "Oh who am I to give up the chance to call you Kookie ?" Jimin mocked and Jungkook flicked his head. Jimin flicked him back and soon they were all out war until Jungkook used too much strength and Jimin let out a ow.   Jungkook would have called him a faker but the flick was close to his eye and the way Jimin held his own face looked serious.   "Oops hyung let me see." Jungkook said, grabbing Jimin's face. He pried Jimin's hands away and looked at the reddening part of his face.   "Do you even know how to apologize?" Jimin asked but his harsh tone died out as their eyes connected.   "Hyung..." Jungkook's hands slid down a bit to Jimin's cheeks. He could feel them heat up as his thumbs rubbed over them.   "W-what are you doing ?" Jimin sputtered.   "You're so soft." Jungkook marveled. "Like dough."   "Shut up." Yeah Jimin was red now. He looked away from Jungkook, finding interest in his walls as he shoved the taller's hands off. "You're being weird. It's hard to dislike you when you're not being normal."   "What's normal ? This is how I am to all my hyungs." Jungkook said which was kind of a lie because Yoongi did not like physical contact but lately he was all up on Hoseok but Hoseok was an affectionate person. Anyways Jungkook was kind of lying but he wasn't.   "I don't believe that for a second. You hate me." Jimin said.   "I don't hate you. You're just ." Jungkook said and Jimin glared at him.   "So are you."   "You don't even know me."   "You don't know me."   They stopped for a moment and Jimin sighed.   "Okay this is getting no where. Can you leave now ?" Jimin said and Jungkook stood up. He was almost near the door when Jimin let out a small wait.   "Unlike you I know how to thank someone when needed. So thanks." Jimin said and Jungkook snorted, taking a step towards Jimin's bed to ruffle Jimin's head but also shove him down into his bed.   "Go to sleep hyung. You'll need energy for tomorrow." Jungkook said leaving.   "Ye
