With the start of Spring Break tomorrow, Jungkook decided to stay up the night before playing games. He spent the last few days trying to speak to his father but every time he gets alone time with his father, he did not know what to say. He was not scared of telling his father that he is gay but the whole thing made him feel awkward, but he knows he cannot introduce Jimin to his father without telling him. Feeling restless, he stares at the ceiling, no matter how late he stays up, with everything on his mind, he cannot sleep. It was early in the evening and the sun glistens through the curtain as he sits up. He gets off the bed and walks to the bathroom. He splashes water across his face and brushes his teeth. After he rinses out his mouth, he turns off the light and goes to sit on his bed. He wanted to call Jimin but knows he is at work. His stomach rumbles, he caresses it. He walks downstairs to the kitchen looking for something to eat, he opens the refrigerator and grabs a juice box. He closes it and opens the cabinet pulling out a box of instant ramen noodles. He turns on the stove and pours water into a pot and places on the stove. He waits for the water to boil, he takes out his phone out of his pocket. He presses on the group chat with Yugyeom and Crystal,

“Hey, what are you guys up?” he types and sends it. He adds the seasoning to the boiling water and lets it cook for a while and then gently drops the noodle in the pot. He was not much of a cooker, but noodles are his specialty. His phone beeps and he picks it up and reads the message from Yugyeom,

“Nothing much,” replies Yugyeom, “Just playing games, you?” Jungkook chuckles at the thought of his friends not having anything to do as well before he could answer Yugyeom’s question, Crystal’s message pops up,

“Stuck babysitting,” she replies, “I’m about to go insane.” Jungkook shakes his head, he looks at the noodles boiling, he hates soggy noodles, so he always pays extra attention to when he cooks ramen noodles.

“I’m going crazy with nothing to do, any plans for Spring Break?” He waits for their texts and finally, Crystal responds, 

“Nothing really, how about you?”

“Hmm, I made a suggestion about going to Vegas with him a few days ago, but I don’t think it was a sure thing, he never brought it up again.”

“That ,” replies Yugyeom, “Maybe you should kidnap him.” Jungkook laughs at his friend’s joke,

“Yeah right,” he types back, “He might look small, but he is stronger than he looks.”

The day went by fast after eating his noodle and messaging his friends, the conversation ending with them coming up with things they can for spring break. Things like throwing parties, going camping, going to look at universities and college which Yugyeom and Jungkook dismissed and teased Crystal for mentioning. Who wants to spend their break looking at schools? But ultimately none of them could decide on anything and Jungkook was feeling too lazy to leave the house and go hang with his friends. Like Yugyeom he decides to play Overwatch on the computer with a bag of chips next to his computer. His door opens and his sister, he glances at her and goes back to his game. His sister looks around the room with shoes on the ground and clothes on the bed,

“Did you spend all day in here?” she asks, Jungkook focused on his game could not hear her,

“Jungkook,” she calls, sighing annoyed, “Jungkook.”

“Huh?” he responds eyes still glued to the computer and his fingers moving rapidly, “Come on!” She shakes her head walking towards him, she hits him on the head,

“Ow!” he exclaims, “What hell is?”

“I’m talking to you, go clean up your pot and bowl you left in the sink,” she says, “and clean your room it stinks.”

“Okay,” he says, going back to his game, his sister starts to walk away. She stops

“Jungkook I’m serious, I’m exhausted and I have to cook dinner soon, go clean that kitchen.”

“I will,” he replies. His sister shuts the door behind her, Jungkook sighs irritated but he determined to win the level, he continues playing the game.

While the playing the game, he looks at the time,

“!” he exclaims pausing his game, he did not realize it was already six o’clock. His sister would be so mad at him, she told him to clean the kitchen hours ago. He gets up from the chair and dashes out of his room. He runs down the stairs and into the kitchen, his heart beating fast and out of breath, he sees his sister in the kitchen, his eyes scan the sink and all the dishes were already washed. Feeling bad, he clears his throat,

“Sorry,” he says, “I got caught up.” Jeongyeon glares at him, fire in her eyes, she turns back to stirring the pot,

“Is this how you're going to spend the rest of the break?” she asks, her voice stern. Speechless he stood there staring at her, he did not know what to do or say. He can tell she was pissed off, so he just decides to walk out of the kitchen before he pisses her off even more.

With his sister angry at him, the air at the dinner table was intensely followed by silence. Jungkook glances at his sister and dad who were both busy eating. He sighs as much as he bickers and fights with his sister, he realizes this time he is in the wrong, it was not fair that she came from work and had to clean after her, but he never told her to clean them. His dad catches his gaze as he sighs loudly,

“Is something the matter?” asks his dad,

“Huh? Not really,” replies Jungkook. His dad stares at him,

“Did you two fights again? You’re usually busy bickering at the dinner table,” teases their father, Jeongyeon glares at Jungkook.

“Ask your son, he spent all day playing games and left the kitchen dirty,” she complains, Jungkook guffs getting ready to protest but his phone starts to ring. He looks at the phone and it was Jimin, his face lights up, he has not heard from him all day. Quickly dropping the spoon, he picks up the phone,

“Can I be excused?” he says, leaving before his dad could respond,

“Jungkook!” calls his father but he was already gone. He shuts the door behind him, sitting on the bed,

“Hello,” he says on the phone,

“Hey,” replies Jimin over the phone, “Sorry, I did not contact you, just got my break.” Jungkook chuckles, leaning against the headboard,

“It’s fine hyungie,” he says, “Did you eat?”

“Hmm, I’m eating right now, but missed you so I called,” says Jimin. Jungkook could not help but grin, feeling his face on fire, he clears his throat as he tries to compose himself.

“I missed you too,” he replies when he pulled himself together. As he chats with Jimin, the door opens, he looks and sees his dad, surprised,

“Um…I’ll talks to you later,” he says over the phone and hangs up the phone. His dad’s eyes scan the mess in the room, his dad usually does not come to his room, the only time he does is for something serious.

“Dad,” says Jungkook, anticipating what his father is doing in his room. His dad clears his throat,

“You need to help your sister with the choirs around the house,” says his father, Jungkook sighs, “You know she does not have to do any of the things she does around the house so the least you can do is help her and listen to her.” Jungkook stares at his hands, listening attentively and silent, not knowing how to respond. His dad sighs,

“I didn’t come to yell at you, just do what you can around the house too okay,” he says, his gaze softening,

“Sorry,” says Jungkook dimly, “I will.” His dad nods his head and starts to walk but stops,

“And you know the rules about answering the phone during dinner, clean up your room,” he says, raising his eyebrow and his eyes reflecting the disapproval in his tone. Jungkook silently gazes at his father, his eyes follow him as he walks out of the room. As if he was holding his breath, he exhales loudly, it’s been awhile since his father told him, he curses himself for answering the phone knowing very well his dad hates it. He picks up the phone not knowing if Jimin already went back to work, he decides to send him a text instead of calling to let him know that his dad was the reason he hung up the phone. After sending the text he sighs, wondering how such a simple day ended up with him getting a speech from his dad and his sister mad at him. He gets off the bed and starts to pick up his shoes that are laying everywhere putting them in the closet neatly organizing them. He picks up his dirty clothes and puts them in the pile of dirty clothes, he stares at the bin that was overflowing,

“Look like laundry day tomorrow,” he murmurs underneath his breath. He pushes the clothes piling up on each other to make them fit.

After he was done cleaning his room, he goes and takes a shower. With the weather hot, he decides to sleep shirtless with only sweats. He looks at the time, reading nine-fifty, he sighs, realizing how long it took to clean his room. He sits on the bed drying up his hair, he picks up his phone and sees a message on it, it was from Jimin responding to the text he sent earlier. He opens the message,

“Got scolded?” reads the message, he guffs, “Something like that,” he responds back. He puts the phone down on the bed, picking up his laptop and places it on the bed, laying down on his stomach. He checks his google mail but there was nothing new just bunch of promotions. He goes to YouTube and looks up art videos but after awhile got bored and decides to go to Facebook. Scrolling up through his feed, he realizes he did not have Jimin on Facebook, but he could never find him just typing his name. He sighs and picks up the phone,

“Hyung what’s your Facebook username?” As he waits for a response he decides to listen to music on YouTube, staring at his phone, feeling awkward, it is weird to ask him for his Facebook? He wonders. Within a minute the phone beeps, he opens the message and reads it,

“Why, you want to stalk me? jk, it’s MinMin.” Jungkook laughs, he types MinMin in the search box and a list pops up, a profile picture of Jimin with pink hair pops up. He could not help but laugh, he knew the guy likes dying his hair but seeing him with pink hair, looking so cute and fluffy, he could not help but laugh. He presses the request button and waits for Jimin to add him, and within a few seconds a notification pops up. He laughs and scrolls through his page, pressing on the photos which brought him to Jimin’s pictures. Mostly pictures of him and his friends, his dad and mom and bunch of selfies. He clicks on the video tab and there are a few videos of him and his friends. He clicks on a video, the video plays and it’s Jimin with Bambam and Rachel, talking about their first day as a freshman at Rosewell High School. Jimin was wearing a beanie with a jacket, with brown hair. Jungkook burst out laughing, staring at the video, Jimin’s cheeks were a lot rounder than they are now exposing his dimples,

“So cute,” says Jungkook, grinning, his phone rings and he answers it, “Hey.” 

“Why are you stalking me on Facebook?” says Jimin over the phone laughing,

“No reason,” replies Jungkook laughing, getting an idea he plays the video again volume it up, so Jimin can hear it.

“What’re you watching?” asks Jimin, “Are you watching my videos?”

“Hyung you were so cute when you were a freshman, your baby cheeks are so adorable,” he teases. He can hear Jimin laughing over the phone,

“Why’re you still up anyway?” asks Jimin,

“No school tomorrow,” he replies, “Are you off work?”

“Yeah,” answers Jimin, “Heading home right now.”

“Hmm, talking while driving someone did not pay attention in drivers ed,” says Jungkook,

“Shut up,” says Jimin, “I’m a professional driver.”

“Hmm,” says Jungkook, clearing his throat, “Pro or not still be careful.”

“I will,” says Jimin, “Anyway, you should be going to bed, you won’t look cute with dark circles.” Jungkook laughs, “I’ll see you tomorrow.”

“Yap,” says Jungkook, “I’ll see you tomorrow, drive safely.”

“Of course,” replies Jimin, “Good night, dream about me.”

“No can do,” teases Jungkook,

“Huh?” says Jimin,

“I can’t dream about you, it’ll be too sweet, and I won’t be able to sleep.” He hears Jimin’s laugh, he can picture him, shaking his head and slapping his shoulder for saying such a cheesy thing,

“You’re stupid,” says Jimin after catching his breath, “Good night.”

“Good night hyung,” replies Jungkook, “Sweet dreams.”

“You too.”

Jungkook shakes his head, laughing, he puts the phone on top of the drawer. He stares at the video, he still could not believe that he is going out with Jimin. He gets to witness him at his best and worst gets to hug him and kiss him. He smiles his own private thoughts making him embarrassed and shy. He turns off the laptop putting away, as he lays on the bed, getting ready for bed, his mind wonders off. ​​​​​​
