Part Two

 

Jungkook stared down at Jin while he slept. He looked rather peaceful and comfortable wrapped in his blankets, the maknae was sure the sight would probably have a good portion of their fans swooning. Which is why he felt slightly guilty ripping the sheets away and jumping on the older boy's stomach. The reaction was instant and the younger boy couldn't help but laugh. Jin groaned loudly and opened his eyes only to find Jungkook grinning down at him.

 

Seriously? What the hell Jungkook…” He rolled out from underneath him and grabbed at his phone beneath the pillows. “7-7:16? You woke me up on our only day off at 7 in the morning?! Is the world ending Jeon Jungkook?! THE WORLD BETTER BE ING ENDING!”

 

Jungkook watched his hyung let out some steam with a small smirk on his face. Jin was NOT a morning person and waking him up was always a bit risky but he needed the elder's help with something. He plucked the phone out from the other boy's hand and did a quick search on Google, when the image had loaded he gave it back to his hyung. Obviously still miffed he gave the maknae one last glare before glancing down at his screen. His brows furrowed in confusion.

 

Rice balls?”

 

Jungkook nodded unable to hold back a smile. “Rice balls! I've decided to make them for Jimin-sshi.”

 

Jin quickly looked over the recipe their youngest had looked up and decided it looked simple enough for him to handle. The boy had been brainstorming for days now picking something and then dismissing it when he realized just how hard it would be to make. Jin had suggested he just buy something but the younger had simply frowned at him and continued combing through the internet for ideas. Apparently this was something he wished to do himself. It was cute. So cute in fact that Jin's anger faded completely at the thought and he got to his feet.

 

Just let me shower and we'll drive over to the grocery store.”

 

Jungkook cheered. “You're the best hyung!”

 

Jin smirked as he stepped out into the hall “I know~”

As Jungkook had expected the store was fairly empty considering how early it was and the pair had no trouble quickly gathering all the ingredients they needed and returning home without being recognized. The only difficulty that remained was actually making the rice balls and keeping the other boys from eating them all. Luckily the rest of the members were still sleeping and so the two got a good half and hour of prep and work done before the first of the distractions began trickling in.

 

Good morning...” Said distraction yawned rather loudly, not caring enough to cover his mouth. He took a seat at the small kitchen counter that served as their dinning table and stared at the several bowls of ingredients. Bonito flakes mixed with soy sauce, pickled plums, black and white sesame seeds, shredded tuna, and a big bowl of rice. He looked up as Jungkook came over and added two dollops of mayonnaise onto the tuna and mixed it with a fork. The younger boy was wearing a very cute apron with dinosaurs all over it and seemed to be very focused as he kept looking back and forth between his phone and the things on the table obviously making sure he had every thing. Jin walked over to the maknae sporting an equally cute apron covered in fluffy white bunnies.

 

Jungkook-ah...Jin hyung…what are you guys doing?”

 

The oldest of the three looked over and smiled.

 

Taehyung-ah, good morning did you sleep well?” The boy nodded but gestured towards the food in front of him. Jin chuckled. “We're making rice balls of course.”

 

Well yes hyung, but why?” All of a sudden V gasped. “Is it someone's birthday? Damn it no one tells me anything! I need to go shopping!”

 

Jungkook laughed and assured his hyung that it was no one's birthday. Taehyung relaxed a bit and reached over intending on snacking on some tuna only to have his hand slapped away(rather brutally he might add) by their maknae.

 

Hyung!” The boy was kissing his own hand trying to lessen the pain, while looking at the oldest for justice. But Jin merely laughed and handed V an apple to munch on.

 

Jungkook is making these for someone else, Taehyung-ah. No one is allowed to have any.”

 

Taehyung took a big bite out of the apple and stared at the youngest curiously.

 

Who are they for, Kookie?”

 

 

Jungkook flushed bright pink and tried not to fidget under his hyung's expectant stare.

 

Uh...well they're for Jimin-sshi...”

 

Huh? I thought you said it wasn't anyone's birthday. Why are you making Jimin rice balls? And why are you using 'sshi'?”

 

No..” Jungkook shook his head turning a darker shade of pink. “not Jimin hyung. They're for 15&'s Park Jimin-sshi.”

 

V stopped chewing and placed the apple on the counter.

 

For Jimin-ah? When did you get so close?”

 

Jungkook and Jin exchanged a look. There was really no way of explaining without revealing what had happened and there was no telling how V would react considering how much he'd come to like Jimin over the past year. In the end Jungkook decided to just come right out with it. He wasn't one to lie to his hyungs. When he'd finished he was a bit shocked to find Taehyung red in the face.

 

That . I specifically asked him not to lead her on.”

 

Hyung?” Jungkook asked, taken by surprise. “You knew about this?”

 

Of course. We ran into each other at a restaurant before. Me and Rapmonster hyung and Jimin and Got7. We had dinner together and though she didn't say anything to me it was obvious. It's not as if she had no reason to think she might have a chance with him though. Jimin liking Jackson isn't his fault but he certainly could have discouraged her a bit more. You should have seen him. Jackson treats her so well it was almost hard to look at. Constantly calling her pretty, feeding her the most delicious things from his plate, and teasing her until she's a flustered mess. I find it hard to believe he didn't know about her feelings; Jimin isn't exactly subtle.”

 

Jungkook thought about his hyung's words and couldn't help feel a bit angry with Jackson. There was nothing wrong with rejecting someone's confession but from the sound of it Jackson had been the one to plant that hope in Jimin's heart in the first place and Jungkook didn't like it. He wasn't sure why exactly, but he really didn't like it.

 

Taehyung sighed “Well what's done is done I suppose.” He smiled brightly at Jungkook and patted the top of his head lovingly. “It's really nice of you to try and cheer Jimin up. You're a good boy Jungkook-ah.”

 

The maknae blushed. It's not as though Taehyung had never praised him before but for some reason Jungkook felt especially touched by this particular compliment.

 

Make sure you make them well. Jimin will be at Arirrang tomorrow so you can give them to her then.”

 

Eh?”

 

V grinned “She texted me yesterday and said she'd stop by to greet me so make sure you're prepared to charm her Kookie.”

 

Jungkook buried his face in Jin's shoulder as Taehyung let out a rather frightening cackle.

 

XxX

 

Jungkook sat squashed in between Jin and Taehyung on the small couch of their dressing room. They'd arrived at the station about an hour ago and had already gone through hair and make up. As soon as they were made presentable the rest of the members had wandered off to find their other friends and mingle. Taehyung and Jin however had chosen to stay and keep Jungkook company as he nervously waited for Jimin to arrive.
 

"Do you want me to call her?" V said his tone teasing.
 

Jungkook flushed a rather endearing pink.
 

"No that's fine I can wait."
 

Jin chuckled and patted the younger's head. "Do you want to go out and wait on the bench in the hall?"
 

The boy didn't want to seem too eager but he nodded anyway and followed the older boys out into the hallway. Fortunately for him as soon as they stepped out they noticed Jimin walking towards them, followed closely by a very pretty girl and a very cute boy.

 

They were idols of course but Jungkook had trouble placing them. The girl was dressed in jean shorts, basketball jersey, and sneakers. She was rather tall for a woman, either that or Jimin who stood at her side in stilettos but still barely reached her shoulder was short. Jungkook smirked to himself, it was probably the latter. The boy that accompanied them was taller than both girls and suddenly the golden maknae was rather grateful he was a good height. He thought that perhaps the other guy's group had returned with a ballad or something similar because he was dressed like a British gentleman in a light gray blazer and fitted black pants. His dark brown hair was swept away from his face leaving his charming features perfectly exposed for everyone to admire and Jungkook couldn't help wishing their concept this time around were a bit more suave instead of this cute boyish one. He pulled at his leopard print t shirt self consciously and pulled at the straps of the backpack he wore. He tried to smile as Jimin and her friends approached.

 

V-oppa!” Jimin called out brightly. She was dressed in a dark blue top and a white high waisted skirt. Her pretty eyes shone as she turned to greet Jin and Jungkook as well, all while tugging her two friends forward. “This is Newsun and Seungyoun.” She poked at their cheeks. “They're cute right?”

 

Jungkook heard his hyungs laughing and forced a small smile. He was way too nervous. He'd spent most of last night trying to think of ways to begin a conversation but all the things he'd come up with seemed to be escaping him. Now that she was standing there in front of him talking so animatedly with s he wasn't at all sure how to join in. He studied her trying to think of something to say when he happened to glance past her shoulder and noticed a group of people headed their way.

 

Jungkook winced rather painfully and caught Jimin's attention. Following his line of sight she turned and couldn't help a wince of her own as she saw Got7 walking towards them, Jackson right at the front. The boy took in Jimin's uneasy expression and Jackson's determined one and quickly came to the conclusion that Jimin had been avoiding the older boy ever since that incident the week before. Logically Jungkook knew that doing so was pointless. They would need to talk eventually as they were under the same company and probably saw each other everyday. She was just putting off the inevitable; but even though his brain knew that it seemed as though his heart had other plans.

 

Before he'd fully realized what he was doing he'd already grabbed at Jimin's wrist and bolted around the nearest corner. Ignoring the girl's squeak of surprise, the cries from her friends, and s knowing laughter he continued running down the hall dragging her with him before picking a door at random and pulling her inside. Completely out of breath he took a moment to lean against a wall, after he'd calmed down a bit he looked over to find that they were in what appeared to be a supply closet and that Jimin was sitting on an over turned mop bucket staring at him as though he'd grown a second head.

 

Jungkook-sshi...why...?”

 

All the blood in Jungkook's body seemed to rush to his face at once. Honestly the embarrassment was almost too much. He rushed to explain.

 

Well I...I saw Jackson coming and it seemed like you didn't want to see him so I just...acted without thinking. I'm sorry.”

 

Jimin's expression softened and she smiled a slightly bitter smile.

 

Am I that obvious? I've been avoiding him since last week and I think he's had about enough of it. I know I have to talk to him eventually but just thinking about it...” She ran a hand through her long black hair and stared down at her shoes. “This is really difficult for me. I can't be around him and act as if everything is still the same...”

 

Then don't be around him.” Jungkook said seriously, not liking the look on the girl's face.

 

She looked up at him and smiled genuinely at the concern in his voice. “I wish it were that easy Jungkook-sshi. But you don't know Jackson, if I were to tell him I didn't want to see him he'd be sad. And I don't want to make him sad.”

 

Even though he'd rejected her Jimin still seemed to care more for his feelings than her own. Jungkook found it both admirable and stupid. He moved a bit closer to her and crouched down so they were face to face.

 

I know you really care about him, but you should care about yourself too. In order for your relationship to go back to normal you got to work on yourself first right?”

 

The girl stared at him for a long moment with her big black eyes and Jungkook tried to ignore the strange warmth in his chest. Finally she offered him a small, pensive smile and nodded.

 

Maybe you're right Jungkook-sshi.”

 

The boy grinned. “Of course I'm right.”

 

Jimin laughed and Jungkook decided he rather liked the sound of it. Thinking that now was as good as time as any the boy shrugged off his backpack and pulled out the brightly colored box Jimin had given him.

 

Oh!” Jimin said recognizing the small container. “So did you like the macarons?”

 

Yeah,” The boy replied. “they were very good. Actually I wanted to thank you and also apologize for stumbling across... well...you know.”

 

i thought you were just looking for the bathroom~” She teased lightly sticking out the tip of her tongue.

 

Jungkook blushed. “I was-never mind!” He pried the lid off and showed her the rice balls he'd made. They were organized neatly in three rows of four and the maknae couldn't help but feel proud as he watched Jimin's eyes light up.

 

You made these for me?”

 

He nodded and smiled as she picked one up and stuffed it in .

 

Sheese sar shoo groo!” She tried to speak with full and Jungkook almost died laughing. He motioned for her to chew first and resisted the urge to pat her head as she nodded cutely. “I said 'these are so good!' Share them with me.”

 

Jungkook turned over another bucket and sat down next to her. He bit into one and did a little dance causing Jimin to errupt into a fit of giggles. Man he was good.

 

They stayed that way for a while. Eating and laughing together until Jimin remembered she had a live broadcast to get to and Jungkook had a performance to record. They stood and Jungkook turned to open the door, pausing when he felt Jimin touch his arm.

 

Thank you Jungkook-sshi. I was feeling really down this past week but you really cheered me up.”

 

The golden maknae smiled down at her and this time allowed himself to pat her head. “You can just call me by name if you want. We're the same age aren't we?”

 

Jimin smiled up at him. “Let's be friends Jungkook-ah.”

 

I'd like that.” The boy answered.

I hope you guys liked it! I just wanted to say the thing about Jackson it kind of reflects what I think would be the "flaw" (if you could call it that) in his personality in real life in that he's so nice to everyone especially girls that he could give them the wrong idea without meaning to.Its great to treat people well but I think it might get a bit confusing for the girls on the receiving end lol anyway I was just curious if anyone else got that vibe from him haha anyway I'll try to update soon. JJ project make an appearance next chapter! And so do Jackbam so get excited lol See you next time!
