Jungkook watched Jimin host with what he hoped was a neutral expression. They were about twenty minutes into the show and though outwardly everything seemed to be running smoothly a knot of anxiety lay heavy in the pit of his stomach. He wanted desperately for the show to end so they could talk and he could apologize for being an idiot. He'd been impulsive and allowed his emotions to get in the way of his common sense. He felt horrible for imposing a confession on her when she was so emotionly exhausted. But still he couldn't help a deep sense of relief that his feelings were out in the open and that he didn't have to hide them anymore. Yes, he would apologize but he wouldn't take back his words. He would stand by his confession like a man.

The studio suddenly erupted in laughter and jolted Jungkook from his thoughts. For a moment he thought he'd been caught spacing out but quickly noticed J-hope doing his infamous dance and forced a smile onto his face deciding he should at least try to pay attention to what was going on around him. Eric was up on his feet following s dance and cackling with glee. Jungkook forced out a chuckle that soon became a bit more genuine as he noticed Jimin watching on with fond exasperation. A pretty laugh tumbled from and reached over to pull her oppa down by the arm.

"Oppa," she said laughter still evident in her voice "We have to move on to the next corner."

"Right! Our next segment will test BTS members dating skills! Fans sent in romantic scenarios and the members will tell us what they would do in those situations!"

"Our viewers will then send their votes in through our Twitter for who they thought was the most romantic member!" Kevin continued "There is a prize so BTS try your best!"

"Alright please show us the LED screen!" Jimin finished.

Everyone in the studio turned together towards the giant screen to their right. The first scenario was written in English of course and so Jungkook waited for someone to translate not in the mood to even attempt to decipher its meaning.

"Okay!" Eric began cheerfully"The first one is: you've been friends for this girl for a while now and you've come to realize you have feelings for her, how would you confess? Sent in to us from aqua31092!"

Jungkook flinched at the word confess and couldn't help but glance over at Jimin who looked as uneasy as he felt. He hated himself for making her feel that way. His confession had been messy and not at all what he would have chosen to say had he been thinking clearly.

"Alright so who would like to go first?" Kevin asked smiling.
Perhaps under the cover of this little game he could confess properly. Without looking at s he got to his feet and stepped out front.

"Ohhhh" His hyungs all cheered, he felt someone smack his and couldn't help a small smile. Once more he looked to Jimin and found her staring down at her script. Hopefully this wouldn't make her feel worse.

"Okay so Jungkook's up first. And who would like to play the girl's part? One of the members maybe?"

For a moment the maknae panicked but Jin's voice rang out through the studio and Jungkook could have kissed him.

"Why use a member " He said smiling wickedly "when we have such pretty girl right here."

Jimin looked up at Jungkook's hyung completely red faced and began her weak protesting.

"Come on Jiminie," Kevin said pulling her to the front by the wrist "show us your acting skills!"

She came reluctantly towards him, her dark hairshone beneath the studio lights and her large eyes sparkled beautifully though they betrayed her nervousness. His hand twitched with the urge to touch her hair or shoulder or poke at her cheek. Anything to wipe those nerves away.

"Okay Jungkook start whenever you're ready." Eric instructed from behind them.

The boy let out a breath and smiled awkwardly down at Jimin before taking her hand in his. A loud "ohhhh!" came from the direction of his hyungs and Jungkook almost dropped her hand from the shock. He was nervous too.

"This is probably going to sound strange..." He began awkwardly "but I've been thinking of you a lot lately."

Their eyes met and Jimin seemed to understand that his words weren't without meaning.

"I didn't really know why at first...But I think I understand now. I like you."

The studio erupted into cheers and Jungkook dropped Jimin's hand fighting back a rather strong blush. The girl looked at up him she didn't seem uneasy anymore but probably something closer to pensive. She nodded once as if to say she understood before making her way back over to her teasing oppas. Jungkook headed back towards his hyungs as well wondering what this meant for them.

Jungkook followed his hyungs into their apartment complex completely exhausted after an especially hectic day. The rest of ASC had been rather uneventful and Jimin had said her goodbyes as quickly as possible, barely glancing in his direction before grabbing on to her manager oppa and making her escape. Fortunately being so busy helped Jungkook keep his mind off the disappointment caused by Jimin's reaction, he'd been hoping they could talk. He sighed, but it seemed as though it would prove to be more difficult than expected.

The boy shook his head as though trying to shake away his thoughts as well, glancing up by chance at the small waiting room like area located in the far left corner of their rather luxurious apartment building's lobby. A young man sat comfortably atop an especially plush armchair. He was dressed casually in fitted blue jeans and dark jacket, a black mask covering what was most likely a very handsome face. The boy in question glanced up as though feeling eyes on him and got to his feet. As he neared Jungkook couldn't help but grimace in recognition.

"Junior hyung..." He began hesitantly not at all sure why he was there.

Jin who'd been only a few steps ahead of Jungkook turned back to see to whom his maknae spoke and raised a brow in question when he spotted the other boy.

Junior pulled down his mask and smiled brightly at the elder before walking up to Jungkook and placing an arm around his shoulders.

"Hyung, do you think I could steal Jungkook away for a while? I wanted to have a little talk with him."

Jin tilted his head obviously thinking it over. Even though he was fairly nervous Jungkook couldn't help but smile his hyung was actually very cute sometimes.

"Sure, go ahead but try not to come home to late okay?"

Junior nodded and began pulling him towards the exit.

"Dont worry hyung." He called over his shoulder. "I'll even bring him back fed. Jungkook-ah, hyung will buy you pork belly okay?"

The younger boy just stared at him as they entered the crisp fall air once more, apparently whether or not HE wanted to go was of no importance.

Jb hovered rather awkwardly outside of Jimin's favorite practice room. The girl had returned from her schedule and had proceeded to lock herself in, that had been hours ago. At first they'd heard the usual sounds of her singing and had continued with their own practice but now there was only silence and the older boy couldn't help but worry. He jiggled the door knob and was surprised to find it unlocked. He poked his head inside and the saw the girl sitting on the carpeted floor leaning back against the wall. She'd changed into a pair of black gym shorts (too short if you asked him) and one of her favorite oversized hoodies, her shoes were tossed off to the side and she had a notebook in her lap.

"Jimin-ah," He called softly as to not startle her. The girl looked up and Jb noticed she also wore a pair of those Harry Potter glasses everyone seemed to own. He smirked, she looked pretty cute.

"Oh Jb oppa, come in."

He slipped fully inside the room and walked over to Jimin sitting down right next to her.

"So what have you been doing in here Jiminie?"

"I sang for a while and I'm trying to write some lyrics but it's really not working out so well and now I'm just bored..."

The boy chuckled and patted her knee.

"Why didn't you come out and see us then?"

Jimin blushed. "I was too embarrassed...I threw such a tantrum when I left."

"Ahh yes I think you made Junior rather worried. Apologize when you see him next."

"I will, oppa was right anyway...Just like he always is."

Jb stiffened at that and looked down at the girl.

"What do you mean Jimin-ah?"

"Jungkook confessed to me today."

The boy shifted uncomfortably in his seat. He wasn't really sure how to feel about that. Jungkook was a nice guy but still the idea of any male getting close to their Jimin sent a wave of unease through him.

"And how did you respond?"

"I didn't. I ran away like an idiot because I didn't know what to do. Jungkook is probably mad at me."

Jb nodded. "Yeah probably."

"Oppa!" Jimin whined.

"What it's true! He told you his honest feelings and you ran away. You have to face him and give him a proper response."

The younger girl nodded and stared down at her toes.

"Do you know what you're going to say?" Jb asked curiously. "Do you think you can date him?"

"I'm...not sure. I still like Jackson even though I know it's a lost cause."

Got7's leader sighed and placed an arm around her shoulders smiling when Jimin leaned into him.

"Jimin I know that you like him, but I don't think Jackson will ever come to see you as more than a friend. And though it pains me to suggest it Jungkook is a nice boy and I think you should give him a chance to make you fall for him."

The girl groaned. "I can't even believe I'm in this situation to begin with oppa. Kookie is such a handsome guy why would he be interested in me?"

Jb frowned and pinched Jimin's cheek hard.

"Ouch! Oppa why?"

"Jiminie, you have to stop talking like that. Even though you can't see it in oppa's eyes as well as many others you're very pretty. That Jungkook would like you is not surprising in the least. Junior saw it coming didn't he?"

Jimin was silent for a while thinking over Jb's words seriously. After a moment she sighed and peeked over at her oppa.

"So...in oppa's eyes I'm very pretty?" She asked playfully.

"Yes" Jb answered pinching her cheeks softly this time. "You've even made oppa's heart flutter a few times."

Jimin's eyes widened." Really oppa?"

"Absolutely, in fact oppa wants to take you on a date Jiminie."

"Huh?!"

The older boy chuckled and stood up. "Let's go get some dinner together Jimin before you get a boyfriend and I'm not allowed to be alone with you anymore.You feel better now right? See Jiminie you can talk to oppa too not just Junior."

The younger girl laughed and took Jb's outstretched hand.

"Junior oppa is still the best. But Jb oppa is my only sponge cake oppa. A very special oppa, now I want pork belly!"

Jungkook smiled at the waitress as she set down their vast array of side dishes. She looked a bit nervous and the boy wondered whether it was her first day on the job or if she perhaps recognised one of them.

"Junior oppa please enjoy your meal." She bowed quickly completely red faced before going off to tend to her other tables. Well that answered that question. Junior chuckled a bit at his cute fan as he tended to the pork belly that sizzled beautifully on the grill.

"Hyung let me-"

"No no Jungkook-ah don't worry about it. If what I witnessed while watching ASC is any indication you have a lot of other things to worry about."

The younger boy paused and stared at Junior.

"You...You watched the show...?"

"Yep. Jimin got a little angry with me earlier and I wanted to see you two interact just in case I was wrong with my assumptions."

"And what were your assumptions hyung?"

"That you like our Jiminie. Obviously I wasn't wrong. That confession was painfully awkward in it's honesty."

Jungkook winced at the elder's blunt observation.

"Are you angry?"

Junior seemed thoughtful for a moment." No, not angry more uneasy. Jimin is a very tender hearted girl the thought of entrusting her to someone else is not a very pleasant one. She's like a sister to me. I know people say that all the time and almost never mean it, but I do. She is my precious younger sister and if you hurt her I won't forgive you."

The older boys gaze was intense but Jungkook met his eyes straight on.

"I would never hurt her." He said firmly. "But either way I don't think you have anything to worry about she doesn't like me."

"Of course she doesn't." Junior replied mercilessly as he added some vegetables onto the grill "She's liked Jackson for a long time. Feelings like that just don't disappear over night. You have to be patient and in the meantime do your best to win her over."

Jungkook blinked in confusion at the advice. It sounded as though he was trying to help him. Noticing his confusion Junior smiled at him.

"I still don't really like the idea of Jimin having a boyfriend but as far as guys go you're not too bad. So I guess what I'm trying to say is that you have my approval."

"R-really?" To say Jungkook was at a loss would be an understatement. "But hyung she didn't talk to me at all after the confession how can I get her to speak with me?"

"Well," Junior began looking at something over Jungkook's shoulder "You could talk to her now."

"Huh?" The older boy pointed towards the entrance of the restaurant. Got7's leader and Jimin stood at the threshold waiting to be seated. Before he could stop him Junior got up from his chair and waved them over.

"Hyung! Jiminie! Over here!"

Jungkook readied himself as the pair approached suddenly wishing he had time to down a few bottles of soju before they reached their table.

So there you go guys I hoped you liked it! Man I love writing jj project as over protective brothers just because I have a feeling they actually are in real life. Jungkook has there approval now though now all that's left is convincing the rest of Got7 lol also if your were wondering about the sponge cake oppa reference Jimin said on ASC that at first Jb was cold to her but that now he's soft and smooth like a sponge cake with her AWWWWWW. Next chapter: An awkward dinner and a VERY AWKWARD first date.
