Let Me Love You - Yoonmin

chapter 5

At seven in the morning, an alarm went off. Jimin and Jungkook both grumbled on the bed, a mess of sheets and limbs until the younger of the two sat up 

 Jimin was awake too, although not very happy with it. Jungkook smiled at his cute grumpy pout.

“God, who in the world needs to wake up at 7 am on a sunday to go work?” Jimin mumbled, also sitting up and pushing the covers aside. Jimin and Jungkook quickly looked around the bed for their clothes, then, the young idol was standing up from the bed. Jimin followed him out of the bedroom.

 “Why are you up too, hyung?” Jungkook asked, confused,

“‘gonna make you some breakfast,” Jimin sleepily mumbled, still half asleep and grumpy, going for the stairs but he was stopped by Jungkook ,

“Thanks, hyung, but there’s no need, I’ll eat when I’m there.” Jungkook reassured him, holding both his shoulders to force Jimin to look up at him.

“Are you sure?-” Jimin started to ask, but Jungkook gave him a bright - bunny - smile and quickly pecked him on the lips, shutting him up.

“I’m sure. Thanks, though,” Jungkook pulled Jimin into his arms in the middle of the hallway and started cuddling him, swaying them side to side in their embrace.

   As much as Jimin enjoyed the attention, he knew what it meant and he needed to say something - for the sake of their friendship. He put his hands in Jungkook’s chest and gently pushed him away.

“Jungkook, what we did last night… We shouldn’t do it again.” he whispered, looking straight into his eyes, taking in his beautiful features and forcing himself to remember that they had no possible future together. Jungkook was old enough, but still too young for him and all of that emotional baggage. Besides, the younger already had a wonderful career to be busy with. 

“Why not, hyung? If we both want it?” Jungkook whispered back, lips chasing after Jimin’s lazily, his hands still on his waist. 

“You’re an idol, Jungkook.” Jimin quietly reasoned, like he was scolding him, “You’re getting out of this house now and going to appear on live TV- ” 

“But I’m not even famous yet, you know that-” Jungkook said in the middle of Jimin’s words but the shorter immediately answered,

“But one day you will be.” Jimin sounded final, “One day you will be really famous and have paparazzi following you around and perform on MAMAs and have concerts in big stadiums and- And we… I want be friends with you. I love you, Jungkook, as a friend.”

   Jungkook looked disappointed, but resigned enough. He understood Jimin’s point, and even with a heavy heart, he smiled.

“I love you too, hyung.” he whispered back.

Jungkook quickly got dressed and they both went downstairs. A van was already waiting for Jungkook in front of Jimin’s house.

“You’ll watch me at channel 15 today, right?” he asked excitedly, and Jimin smiled back.

“Of course!! I wouldn’t miss it!” Jimin exclaimed.

 When Jimin was alone at home again, he went upstairs to wash up. He couldn’t stop thinking about what had happened last night.

 Jungkook was the last person he imagined would make a move on him. Not that he thought it was a bad thing, no; Jimin had always been a very sexual person, and that hadn’t been the first and probably would be the last time he had made out with a friend.

-------

   The rest of the day was uneventful.

   He put on some comfy clothes and took a selca for his instagram, knowing that he still needed to keep his social media active. He didn’t think much of it and uploaded one with a V sign. He had decided he would make his pregnancy public after the appointment he had on Monday, if the doctor said that everything was okay.

   Jimin then entered his friends’ group chat on kakaotalk and absentmindedly asked who was still up for going with him to the doctor on Monday.

Jimin:

but it’s ok if you’re busy!!

And i’m looking at you namjoon hyung and jin hyung

taehyung:

i’m going!!!

   There was a string of answers and the chat group was brought to life again with Taehyung and Hoseok flooding it with baby emojis, and Jin stating that he would be there with a lot of fire-related emojis. Jimin giggled to himself and typed the address and information of his appointment for everybody in the group to see. He was so distracted he didn’t even think about who exactly were the members of that group chat in total.
