Chapter 15

a/n hey whores i updated
just saying you can expect some of the good shit soon

___

Jimin closes his bedroom door and adjusts his coat in the hallway, while Jungkook watches from his room.

"Where are you going?".

Jimin looks up, surprised, lips parting and forming an "O", and Jungkook bites his own lip. 

"Taehyung's house.".

"Can I come?".

Jimin stops, thinking. He wanted to talk with Taehyung about... whatever his and Jungkook's relationship was, but then again, he'd never turn down an opportunity to go somewhere with Jungkook.

"Sure. Do you want to stop by anywhere? You didn't have breakfast today.".

"It's fine. Let's just go there. How far away does he live?".

"Ten minute walk.".

Of course, they could drive for less than a minute, but Jimin would rather walk if Jungkook's coming. Walking through the dark, Jungkook's face illuminated by the yellow glow from the street lights, it's far more romantic than a short car ride. He's sort of obsessed that way.

"Okay! I'll come. I've never been to Tae's house.".

Jimin nods.

"Let's go, then. It's gonna get dark soon.".

"I hate winter.". Jungkook complains as they walk down the street.

"Are you cold?". Jimin asks, already taking off his jacket. "You shouldn't have just worn a sweatshirt. Do you have some sort of death wish?".

"It's not too bad.". Jungkook says, as Jimin drapes his jacket over his shoulders. "Aren't you cold, now?".

"Not at all!". Jimin announces cheerily, through chattering teeth.

"Take it back. I'm not that cold.".

"No. I don't want you to get sick.".

"C'mon, it's my fault for being stupid. It's only five minutes anyway.".

Jimin smiles, then takes back his jacket and pulls Jungkook closer, draping the jacket over both of them.

"Stay close to me, okay?".

Jungkook smiles softly, edging closer.

"Okay.".

Jimin bites his lip, looking away from Jungkook. He's never admitted how flustered he felt doing this. Flirting was easy. Pretending was easy. Being close to someone? Liking someone? Not even close to easy.

Its a choice he made ages ago. There's no point feeling sorry for himself. He never let himself settle, never stayed with one person, avoided any relationship that wasn't friendship or friends with benefits.

But why should all of that matter now? If he likes Jungkook, he should be allowed to.

He should let himself enjoy Jungkook's warmth before he leaves him.

They walk in silence, watching as the sun starts to set, not all red and pink and orange, but almost as if it were never there, black, blue and grey, until it's dark.

Jimin rings the doorbell, the gate opens and they both hurry to the door, where Taehyung is waiting, still wearing a strange combination of basketball shorts and a silk robe he threw over before opening the door.
