Chapter 10

After spending 3 weeks alone, with plenty of boring meetings that gave him time to think, Jimin finally got some clarity. He's not gonna keep feeling sorry for himself and mourn over the fact that Jungkook likes someone that's not him. He's either going to back off or do what he used to do, which always made Jungkook flustered and whipped.

Surprisingly, Jungkook's already awake by the time Jimin rolls over, and sees Jungkook coming out of his bathroom, shirtless.

"Since when do you get up early?". Jimin asks.

"I don't even know.".

Jungkook takes a shirt from Jimin's closet, and Jimin smirks.

"You can also not wear it. Just saying.".

"Hm?".

"You look better shirtless.". Jimin remarks, and Jungkook sits down at the edge of the bed, laughing.

"I can't believe I missed that.".

He rolls his eyes as Jimin runs a hand over his abs.

"Ugh, I'm so jealous. I want a body like that.". He pauses, a small smile playing on his lips. "Or a boyfriend with a body like that.".

"Jesus, how horny are you right now?".

"Let me live, I haven't fucked anyone in 3 months.".

"I haven't been fucked in 17 years. Beat that.".

"I feel like I could change both of those.".

Jungkook groans, and stands up again.

"I'm scared of you when you're horny. I'm making breakfast, you should shower or something.".

Another twenty minutes later, Jimin comes down, hair damp and wearing a white bathrobe and slippers.

Jungkook has to smile at the familiar scent of his perfume enveloping him as Jimin pulls him into a hug.

"So, what did you do without me?". Jimin asks.

"Not much. Just helped out and decorated the tree and all that Christmas shit.".

Jungkook's mom coughs.

"I beg to differ.".

Jungkook groans at that and Jimin laughs.

"What did he do?".

"He sat around in the living room and looked out the window wistfully, complained about you not being there and, I quote, needed alone time to mend his heart.".

Jimin laughs.

"Did you really miss me that much?".

"Lies. This is slander. I did nothing of the sort.".

"It's okay if you missed me. I know you love me.". Jimin says with a wink,

Jungkook blushes, and Jimin smirks. That was easy.

"So, this is my office.". Jimin says, falling onto his seat. They're currently in the main building of Jimin's father's company, and after a long, boring tour Jimin agreed to show Jungkook the better parts of the building.

Jungkook stares at the room, it's almost the size of the CEO's office, with a large window overlooking Seoul, an office chair and bookshelves as well as framed newspaper articles from his father's company.

"Wow. It's huge.".

Jimin nods.

"Well, I'm supposed to be the next CEO, so...".

"You don't seem very happy about that.". Jungkook remarks.

"Am I really that obvious?".

"Sorta.".

"Oops. I guess I was hoping that after the whole incident my dad wouldn't want me to take over the company. I even had a wholeass life plan and here he comes, with his fancy office and CEO title. It's not like I don't appreciate it, I just wish I'd be allowed to do what I want. And having an heir is just... pointless. Like, I'm not at all qualified for this position. Someone better deserves it.".

"What do you want to do instead of taking over the company?".

"I was gonna go to Seoul University and get a degree in Literature and become and author. But I guess it's too late. I even enrolled in a writing contest in case my grades aren't good enough to get there, but...".

"I think you should do it. Tell your dad exactly what you told me, and he'll see reason. In the worst case you can just blackmail him.".

"Thing is, he thinks I'm really smart and business-minded, when I just repeat everything your mom tells me since he doesn't listen to her. And now I'm stuck here.".

Jungkook coughs.

"My mom?".

"Yeah, she always listens when they're having conferences at home and tells me what to tell him to fix it. She's amazing.".

Jimin honestly admires her, she never went to college but she's probably the smartest person he knows, along with Jungkook and Namjoon. She knows everything, from Literature to Math and finances, as well as all kinds of personal secrets. Perks of being the staff, since no one ever pays attention to her.

She knows all the gossip about the moms on the PTA, all about Mr. Park's girlfriends, she knows that the screensaver on Jimin's laptop is a picture of him and Jungkook, that there's a Polaroid of Jimin in Jungkook's wallet, she knows the code to the family safe, the hidden stairwell under the kitchen, the vibrator in Jimin's bottom dresser drawer and where Mrs. Park hides all the good wine for them to open on weekends.

"Wow... I never knew that.". Jungkook says, frowning.

"Is my mom cool like that too? They probably don't tell us.".

"She's cool. She reminds me of you.".

"In what way?".

Jungkook laughs.

"She's always trying to buy me things.".

"As she should.".

"You also look similar. Like, the eyes. And the face shape, I guess. At least neither of us are like our asshole dad's.".

"There's always a bright side, I guess. Speaking of which, we should probably go before my dad comes. Don't feel like talking to him.".

Jimin stands up, and takes Jungkook's arm.

"How's your mom doing with the New Year's preparations, by the way?".

"I honestly don't know.".

"Figures. Well, I can't wait. My parents are going to some fancy ass Gala and I'll either stay at home and get drunk or go to Tae's party.".

"He's having a party?".

"Yeah, you're invited, on obviously. Maybe I'll finally get some dick.".

Jungkook decides not to say anything, but Jimin clearly notices his tight smile, and nudges him.

"I never said it won't be your dick, Kook. Watch out.".

"I-".

Jimin puts a finger to his lips, shushing him as they enter the elevator.

"We're just friends.".
