Part Four

Jimin and Jungkook sat on the waiting room's sofa a noticeable distance between them. The two were staring down at the floor waiting nervously for Junior to arrive. Jackson had called the other boy almost immediately after waking them up. Jimin had tried to explain what had happened but it only took one look from the older boy for her to understand just how much trouble she was in. The poor girl felt like crying. Being caught in such a situation was something she'd never thought she'd have to worry about. And as if being found in such a position by the boy she'd just confessed to wasn't bad enough now her Junior-oppa was going to find out about it.

The door swung open a few long minutes later and Jimin practically launched herself at Junior, who caught her and held her gently as she hugged him.

“Oppa, nothing happened I swear.”

Junior pulled back a bit so he could see her face. He frowned as he noticed she seemed very close to crying.

“Jackson,” He began turning to the other boy “what's going on? And why is he here?”

Jungkook stiffened as the older boy now turned to look at him over Jimin's shoulder. He wanted to disappear.

“What happened,” Jackson said, obviously still heated “Is that I came in looking for Jimin and found these two on the floor with their arms wrapped around each other fast asleep.”

Junior raised a brow and looked down at girl in his arms who'd just turned red.

“Jimin-ah is this true?”

Very reluctantly she nodded. “But nothing happened oppa! We were watching a movie and fell asleep. That was all! You believe me don't you…?

The boy stared down into her large black eyes and couldn't help but smile. “Of course I believe you Jiminie.”

Jackson scoffed rather loudly behind them. “Of course they didn't do anything! If I thought for one second that something had actually happened he wouldn't be here anymore.” He pointed at Jungkook, who frowned at him. “Because I would have thrown him out the window. That's not the issue here!”

Jimin disentangled herself from Junior and turned to face Jackson. From the moment they'd woken to his furious yell and realized their position the girl had hardly been able to look him in the eye. Even while he scolded them and called for Junior Jimin had thought his anger was because he believed they'd had or something similar. Now that he was saying that that wasn't the case she couldn't help but feel relief.

“What if it hadn't been me Jimin? What if it had been a janitor or a trainee or some other stranger? Sometimes I feel like you forget that you're a celebrity. And as if that weren't bad enough you're still underage.”

“I understand.” Jimin replied softly. “I'm sorry I'll be more careful in the future. You don't have to worry about me.”

There was a long moment of silence during which Jimin realized she'd said something wrong. Jackson was staring at her with very dark eyes and an expression she couldn't decipher.

“I don't have to worry about you? You keep saying stuff like that Jimin and it's really starting to piss me off.”

The girl's eyes widened and she felt Junior stir behind her. For a moment she thought he might be stepping forward to defend her or something of the sort but he moved past her and instead pulled Jungkook to his feet.

“Come on Jungkook-sshi, we'll give you a ride home.”

“But...” He looked over at Jimin who seemed rather upset and said sincerely “I'm sorry Jimin-ah. I should have been more careful...”

She shook her head and smiled at him. “Don't apologize, it was both our faults.”

He watched her for a moment and suddenly wanted to be closer. Suddenly he wanted nothing more than to have known her for as long as the other two boys in the room so that he could confidently stay by her side and say he wasn't going anywhere. But even though he wished it he knew it was impossible, standing here with the three of them he felt as though he were intruding. But still, he had to do something… He caught sight of the now empty box where they'd kept their popcorn, and now that he thought of it every other food they'd ever shared, and picked it up.

“I'll fill it with something yummy Jimin-ah.” He said simply, and felt a strange rush of warmth in his belly when she beamed at him.

Someone cleared their throat and Jungkook blushed when he found Junior and Jackson staring at him.

“Alright, are you two done?”

The two youngest nodded fiercely both red in the face.

“Let's go Jungkook-sshi. Jackson, make sure Jimin gets home safely.”

Jungkook saw Jackson nod once before closing the door behind them.

An awkward silence engulfed the room as the door closed and Jackson and Jimin were left alone. The girl reclaimed her spot on the couch and Jackson leaned against the window. A long moment passed before the older boy spoke.

“Jimin, how long have we known each other?”

The girl looked at him curiously a bit taken aback by the question.

“Four, almost five years.”

He nodded.

“And for how many of those years have you liked me?”

Jimin flinched and for moment wondered if he was mocking her feelings; she dismissed that thought quickly though. Jackson was not that kind of guy.

“Um...maybe two years?”

He nodded once again and this time held her gaze. She wanted to look away but knew if she did Jackson would become truly angry.

“So tell me, these past two years of liking me... do they cancel out those three years of friendship? Does the fact that I don't like you in the same way you've come to like me mean that we can't be friends anymore?”

Jimin shook her head. “No...it's just hard for me...”

“I know it's hard for you Jimin and I'm sorry that I can't return your feelings.”

“Don't be sorry, oppa. It's not your fault. I just need some time-”

“Away from me.” Jackson finished for her.

Jimin simply nodded and watched the boy run a hand through his hair, obviously frustrated.

“Jimin, you keep asking me to do that. To give you space, to give you time, to leave you alone but you don't seem to understand that I can't do that.”

Jackson moved closer to Jimin pulling her to her feet so he could look directly into her eyes.

“Jimin I've known you since you were fifteen years old. From the second you got here you followed me around like a little puppy. At first, I wasn't entirely sure what to make of it but I got used to it after a while. In fact I'm so used to it that you avoiding me for the past week was almost unbearable. I know that being friends with me will probably be difficult for a while but please try...and please don't avoid me.”

Jimin looked away her pretty eyes shining with tears. She sniffled a bit but didn't try to pull away as Jackson drew her into his arms. Perhaps she had been being too selfish? Before all things Jackson was her friend and he had been miserable and feeling guilty all alone while she ran away from him. It wasn't his fault he couldn't like her back, none of this was his fault and yet it was affecting him in such a way. She decided then that she would try harder for his sake but...but... 

“Jackson...” She murmured into his shoulder “I still like you.”

The boy merely held her tighter his soft sigh warming her cheek.

“I know Jimin, I know.”

It was almost 3am when Jungkook finally stumbled through the door of his dorm. The car ride over had been incredibly awkward. The rest of the Got7 members had understandably been surprised to see him, Bam Bam in particular had seemed much less pleasant than before. Jungkook soon realized that the other was probably wondering why exactly he'd still been with Jimin at such a late hour. Though he hated to admit it Jackson had been right to be so angry.

He left his shoes by the door and made his way to his bedroom. All he wanted was to collapse onto his bed... but it seemed as though it would have to wait. Jin and Taehyung sat perched on it both looking rather tired and slightly irritated.

“Where the hell have you been Jeon Jungkook?”

The boy in question sighed loudly and laid down on his bed using V's lap as a pillow. The older boys exchanged a look as they noticed their maknae's obvious bad mood.

“What's wrong Jungkook? Did something happen?” Jin questioned gently

Jungkook groaned. “Got7 hates me,”

“Huh? Wait what? Why do they hate you?” V asked completely confused.

The youngest sighed once more he really didn't want to explain, it was embarrassing enough just thinking about it never mind actually saying it out loud. He looked up at s who were staring down at him clearly expecting an answer.

“We were watching a movie...Jimin and I...I guess we fell asleep without noticing. It wouldn't have been that big of a deal except Jackson found us...and he was not happy about it.”

Jungkook felt a hard pinch on his left cheek and jumped out of bed startled at the sudden pain. A pillow was thrown straight at his face and the boy took a step back.

“What the hell?” He looked over and saw that Taehyung was glaring at him, another pillow at the ready.

“Jungkook are you insane?! Even if you're friends now you have to remember: Jimin is a girl! You have to consider what somebody finding out about this would do to her reputation!”

Normally Jungkook was not the type of maknae that would yell back at his hyungs but he was exhausted and completely done with being looked at as though he were some scummy guy that took advantage of an innocent girl.

“I know hyung. I know, Jimin is a girl. That's the problem! I wish I didn't know!”

Waking up to a furious Jackson had been terrifying but even so when Jimin had pulled away Jungkook had to fight the urge to draw her back into his arms. He missed her warmth and the small curve of her waist beneath his fingers. Thinking back on the feeling now brought a rush of heat to his face.

“You like her.” Jin observed.

“Yeah hyung, I like her.” Jungkook confessed sinking down to the floor and burying his face in his hands.
