Chapter 24: Alone Together

In Love With You

With the start of the start of Spring Break, Jungkook has a lot of cleaning to get through if he did not want to hear from his father again. As he takes his clothes to the laundry room where his sister was already there folding her clothes. He clears as he walks past her, she is still mad about yesterday when he did not clean when she asked him. Jungkook hates when his sister holds grudges, especially since he needed her advice. He woke up early in the morning thinking that he should come out to his father but could not think about how to start the conversation. He picks up his clothes and shoves in the washing machine,

“What the hell are you doing?” says his sister, staring at him, Jungkook glances at her,

“I thought you aren’t talking to me?” he whines, shoving more clothes in the machine,

“Mad or not, are you trying to break the machine putting that much clothes in,” replies his sister. She gets up, moving him out of the way as she starts to take some of the clothes out and sorts them out. Jungkook smiles and his sister glances at him, annoyed,

“I’m sorry,” he apologizes, “I should’ve cleaned the dishes right away.” She sighs,

“It’s fine,” she replies, “But you can do me a favor to make it up.” Jungkook’s eyes widen, not believing he fell for her trick, remaining mad for a long time so she can get him to do something,

“I won’t be home for dinner today,” she says, “I’m going out with some friends, can you make sure dad eats.”

“Huh?” says Jungkook surprised, “Where are you going?”

“Out,” she replies, “Just do me the favor, okay and I won’t be mad anymore.” Jungkook sighs disappointed, he was hoping his sister would be home for dinner, so he can convince her to help him talk to his father, but it seems like he has no choice but to put it off for now. He sighs, staring at his sister, she had a goofy smile, he nods his head, wondering why she seems so happy when she was mad a minute ago.

 

As the night approaches, Jungkook spent the day chatting with his friends and playing games. He has not heard from Jimin all day and he did not want to blow his phone with calls and texts. He figures he just busy or else he would contact him. Jungkook’s door opens,

“Hi,” says Jimin, standing at the door, in a white V-neck t-shirt and ripped jeans. Jungkook’s stares at him dumbfounded, “What?”

“Nothing,” says Jungkook, gazing at him, surprised that he popped out of nowhere when he was just thinking about him. He smiles at him, Jimin closes the door behind him,

“Your sister lets me in,” he says, sitting on the bed, “What’re you doing?” Jungkook turns to the computer and back at Jimin, gathering himself, Jimin surprised him by coming out of nowhere, he sighs glad he cleaned his room.

“I’m not doing anything,” says Jungkook, “Just playing games.” Jimin nods his head, gazing at the computer. Jungkook clears his throat,

“Did you just wake up?” he asks,

“Not really,” he replies, “I’ve been up since the morning but…I kind of had an argument with my stepmom, so I left.”

Jungkook raises his eyebrows, staring at him for more details but Jimin’s eyes wander around the room, looking at his wallpapers and drawings.

“Well…” says Jungkook, “You gonna tell me why?”

“I don’t want to talk about it,” he replies. Jungkook opens his mouth to say something but the door opens, they glance at his sister. Jungkook’s eyes widen, his sister was wearing a red mini dress with high heels, her hair curly and a purse in her hand, why so dressed? he wonders. She clears ,

“Well, I already cooked dinner, if you two want to eat you're welcomed to,” she says, “I’m leaving so don’t forget to give dad his food.” The door closes before Jungkook could her questions, he glances at Jimin who has the same expression as him.

“What was that about?” he asks, Jimin shrugs his shoulders,

“Your sister has a boyfriend?” he asks

“I don’t know,” replies Jungkook, “She didn’t say anything.”

“Hmm,” says Jimin, “She probably does, no girl dresses like that if it is not for a date. Must be a fancy date as well, she looked elegant.” Jungkook stares at Jimin, he cannot picture his sister having a boyfriend, she went out on dates that much he knew. The only guy he knew that she dated for a couple of years was the one he had developed a crush on but realize that he just admired him, he always thought they would together forever but eventually, he moved away for college and they broke up.

“Aren’t you happy your sister is dating again?” asks Jimin,

“I am,” he replies, “I just don’t understand why she didn’t tell me?” Jimin stares at him before laughing, Jungkook guffs,

“What’s so funny?”

“You have sister complex or something?” teases Jimin, laughing, Jungkook sighs, rolling his eyes.

“No, I don’t,” he says, “I’m just wondering why she is being secretive that’s all.”

“I mean why?” he says, “We’re all allowed to have our little secrets.” Jungkook glares at him,

“So, you have a secret you’re not telling me?” he asks, serious. Jimin clears his throat,

“I actually don’t,” he replies, “Do you?” Jungkook shakes his head,

“Anyway, want to eat dinner?”

 

Jungkook’s dad called him telling him that he would not be home until late in the night and to go ahead and eat dinner. Letting him know that he already ate, he hangs up the phone and heads back to the living room where he left Jimin. He sits on the couch, his mind just registering that he is alone together with Jimin, the thought of it made his heart skip a beat. Jimin turns around seeing Jungkook standing still,

“What’s wrong with you?” asks Jimin, as he flips through the channels, Jungkook shakes his head,

“Ahh, my dad has to work late and won’t be home,” he answers sitting beside him, “Hyung do you sleep here?” Jimin looks at him, surprised as Jungkook grins at him, he slept over at Jungkook before but he to comfort him on his mom’s anniversary, but things are not like that tonight. Jimin clears his throat as Jungkook smiles at him,

“Okay,” he replies, “I’ll sleep over.”

 

Coming out of the bathroom, he glances at Jimin who was sitting at his computer. Running his fingers through his hair, he walks and stands behind him, staring at the screen. Jimin glances at him,

“Done showering?”

“Hmm,” says Jungkook, “It’s your turn.” Jungkook stares at the screen with a university page open, 

“UCLA?” he says,

“Oh, yeah,” says Jimin, “I was just checking my application.”

“Application?”

“Yeah, they still haven’t answered yet, I was originally going to go move and live with my mom, but she said no so I applied to UCLA.” Jungkook stares at him as Jimin gets up, taking the towel from him and heads to the bathroom to shower. Jungkook stares at the screen at the application that reads in process.

His heart sinks, he forgot that Jimin is a senior and is graduating in two months, he sits down, he always thought he has all the time to be with Jimin but staring at the screen he knows that is not the case. What will their relationship be like with Jimin in college six hours away? Will he still want to go out with someone still in high school? Jungkook pacing back and forth glances in front of the bathroom door as the water continues to run. He can hear Jimin’s voice dimly, humming a song he cannot make out. He smiles as he pictures him dancing and singing in the shower. His hand reaches for the doorknob, but he hesitates, as he was about to turn the knob the door swings open. Standing face to face with a shirtless Jimin, his face turns red as a beet, body hot, embarrassed as Jimin stares at him puzzled.

“Jungkook?” says Jimin, “Did you need something?” at loss at words, he gawks at shirtless Jimin with damp hair with water still dripping down his neck. Gathering his thoughts, he smiles,

“Um… just need to brush,” he says quickly, “I forgot to brush.” Jimin stares at him puzzled but not thinking too much of it as he walks past him, Jungkook follows him with his eyes as he towels to dry his hair, running his fingers through his hair. He catches Jungkook’s gaze,

“Don’t you have to brush?” Jungkook grins as he quickly goes in the bathroom and shuts the door, leaning against it, he sighs loudly,

“Oh, what the hell am I doing?” he says covering his face, he turns on the facet as he paces back and forth, his heart increasing with each step and body temperature as the image of Jimin comes across his mind, Aishh will I be able to sleep tonight? He sighs and splashes water on his face and turns off the facet, opening the door, his eyes scan the room and sees Jimin laying down on his stomach with his feet up and kicking about on his cell phone. Jungkook closes his eyes, trying to control his mind from exploding at his cuteness. Jimin glances at him noticing him,

“You took forever, come here,” he says waving his hand, Jungkook walks towards him and lies down his shoulder brushing against Jimin’s. The smell of the fresh shampoo hitting his nose and making him weak, as his heart starts to race.

“I’m thinking about buying these shoes for Rachel,” says Jimin, showing him a picture of Puma’s women fierce strap swan white sneakers, 

“Hmm,” says Jungkook, gathering his thoughts, “Why are you buying Rachel shoes?”

“It’s her birthday tomorrow,” he replies, dumbfounded, “I thought you knew.” Jungkook shakes his head no, “Anyway, she is having a big party, you better be there, and you can invite your friends.” Jungkook smiles,

“Of course, I’ll be there,” answers Jungkook, Jimin gazes at him, taking him by surprise.

“Do I have something on my face?”

“You’re really handsome,” says Jimin, staring at him as his eyes analyze his face, Jungkook blushes unable to keep contact with his gaze. He tries to laugh it off,

“I’ve always been handsome hyung,” he says, “Are you just noticing now?” Jimin shakes his head no,

“I’ve always noticed but with your face so close, you have really nice features,” continues Jimin, Jungkook nudges him with his shoulder feeling shy,

“Ah, hyung,” he whines, Jimin laughs noticing Jungkook blushing, he moves closer to him with a smirk.

“You’re so cute when you're shy,” says Jimin, softly gazing into Jungkook’s eyes, “So innocent.” Before Jungkook’s could respond, Jimin leans in and kisses him, Jungkook mind drowns into nothingness, he kisses Jimin back. Jimin’s mouth parting his lips, sending quivers down his spine, his nerves and his entire body. With a sudden intensity, both of their bodies were in heat, clinging onto each other, with Jungkook on top of him, he cups Jimin’s face with his hands kissing him as if his life depended on it. His tongue sliding into his mouth demanding but gentle, it was nothing like they have ever experienced before. Jimin pulls him down closer, gripping his hair, the sensation sending electricity throughout his body, their hearts exploding. Taking in each other scents, melting into each other’s and into their world until the door swings open.

Jungkook quickly gets off Jimin, face white as chalk, Jimin’s follows his gaze, the color drowning from his face. Their eyes and mouth froze wide open, stunned and shocked, and although they were staring at his dad who stared at them eyes wide and faces drained of blood, their brains completely shut down, wanting to crawl in a hole and never come out.

“Sorry,” says his dad closing the door shut behind him, frozen in shock, they stare at each other speechless and unblinking. Jungkook’s mind registering what just happened, his dad walked in on him and Jimin making out. His mouth opens and shuts with no sound coming out, that is not how he wanted to come out to his dad.

“,” says Jimin hands over his mouth bewildered and flashed red, “I thought he was working late.” Jungkook glances at him, exhaling. He takes a deep breath, and exhales,

“Should I go talk to him?” he asks,

“And say what? Sorry, dad, it’s not like I was making out with my boyfriend” replies Jimin, running his fingers through his hair. Jungkook stares at him, not in the mood for his jokes,

“It’s not funny hyung,” he replies getting off the bed,

“I’m not laughing,” says Jimin, “Oh, you know how  embarrassed I am.” Jungkook covers his face,

“, I didn’t want to find out like this.” Jimin sighs,

“It’s not that bad, he was probably just shocked,” says Jimin, realizing that Jungkook even though he acts like he did not care about what anyone thinks about him, he still a shy and timid person. His dad catching him tonguing his boyfriend on the bed is something he did think he had to deal with. Jimin smiles sitting beside him at the edge of the bed. He puts his arm around him, knowing that Jungkook was worried and concern about what his father would say. Jungkook sighs, still in shock but his mind all over the place what if his dad does not approve because of what he just saw.

“It’s not all bad,” says Jimin, “It could’ve been worse, we still had our clothes on.” Jungkook turns to look at him and he could not help but laugh. He shakes his head,

“I should go talk to him,” says Jungkook,

“Hmm, maybe you can let him process what he just witnesses first,” says Jimin, caressing his back “Talk to him in the morning.” Jungkook sighs realizing that it would be best to let his dad calm down, even if he did not seem mad, he still was shocked, they’ll probably end up in a fight.

“I think I should go home,” says Jimin quietly, “Unless you still want to sleep here?”  Jungkook nods his head, taking his hand, gazing at him,

“We didn’t do anything wrong,” he replies, “I want you to sleep here.”

Jimin leans over and places his head on his shoulder, Jungkook glances at him, the thought of his dad walking in on them, making him feel embarrassed but he bites his lips, worried about what his father is going to say. The image of his father’s shocked face replaying in his head, how is he going to talk to his father? Even though they live in the same household he is not as close to his father, with his father always working, they never had quality time with each other. The thought of sitting down and coming to his father and not knowing how his father is going to react drove his mind.
