"So, this is Jimin.” Jungkook says with a grin, pushing Jimin to the front and pressing a quick kiss to his cheek.

Jimin smiles at Ji-ah nervously, who's already made herself comfortable on his couch and waves at her.

“You’re Jungkook's sister?”.

Ji-ah still looks surprised at the fact that Jungkook is leaning against Jimin on the couch, arms wrapped around his boyfriend with a grin.

She nods quickly, watching the two of them sharply.

“Are you his boyfriend?”

“How does the kid know we’re dating?!” Jimin whispers.

“Her mom told her.”

“... I got outed to a sixth grader, okay.”

“Just go with it.” Jungkook whispers, and Jimin grimaces.

“Fine. Anyways, how about we go get fried chicken and you and Jungkook can have some bonding time, right?” Jimin asks cheerfully.

There's an excited squeal from both Jungkook and Ji-ah, and Jimin smiles proudly, leaning back against the couch.

He could totally be a babysitter.

Jimin opens the car door, balancing countless boxes of foods on his free hand and smiles at the two sitting in the back, Jungkook is showing Ji-ah something on his phone, and as they're both hunched over, looking down at the screen, Jimin can't help but notice their similarities.

The same curve in their noses, wide eyes and thin lips. Jungkook clearly got his looks from his father, but he reminds Jimin more of his mother.

"I got food!" Jimin calls, laughing at the excited looks on both of their faces as they look up, and he hands Jungkook one box.

"Fried chicken and a side of waffle fries for you, more chicken and a mint chocolate shake for Ji-ah, right? Oh, and your vanilla shake, babe."

Jungkook grins, leaning over to kiss Jimin quickly.

"Thanks, love. I was just showing Ji-ah pictures of us. She asked."

Jimin shrugs, sitting down on the seat next to Jungkook.

"You better have only showed the flattering ones."

Jungkook snickers, quickly pocketing his phone, and Jimin raises an eyebrow.

"You little shit-"

"You looked cute!" Jungkook protests while Jimin tries to grab his phone from his back pocket, but eventually he gives up with a sigh.

"There's a minor in the car, so I won't say what I usually would."

Ji-ah looks up at then with interest, nibbling at her own piece of chicken.

"Jungkookie told me a lot about you." She says, and Jimin raises an eyebrow.

"Such as?"

She doesn't answer, instead shrugs.

"I like you."

Jimin rolls his eyes.

"Who doesn't?"

"I'd answer that, but given your current family situation that seems a bit insensitive." Jungkook says, absently picking at his nails.

Ji-ah's eyes widen at that and Jimin just sighs.

"Okay, fair. Everyone likes me, excluding my own father."

"That's fine." Ji-ah tells him. "He's an asshole, then."

"Ji-ah!" Jungkook exclaims. "Dont curse."

"Let her live a little." Jimin retorts. "She's eleven."

Turning to Ji-Ah, Jimin continues, smiling softly. "Anyway, what were you saying earlier?"

"I actually like you a lot." she says.

"Aw, that's so sweet." Jungkook coos.

"More than Jungkook." she adds.

Jungkook's smile disappears.

"Excuse me?" He demands, looking extremely offended. "I'm literally your brother-"

"She said what she said, babe." Jimin interrupts, a smug smile on his face as his eyes glitter with amusement. "Looks like I'm you're favourite, huh, kid?"

Ji-ah nods smugly, and Jungkook continues to stare at them, offended.

By eleven PM, Ji-ah is already fast asleep, some Pixar movie playing on Jimin's TV and empty bowls all around the floor.

Jungkook stretches his legs, leaning against Jimin with a small smile.

"You still up?"

"Mhm. Wanna smash?"

Jungkook groans.

"There's literally a minor in the room."

"We can go to your room." Jimin shrugs.

"You're a terrible babysitter, you know that?"

Jimin laughs, raising an eyebrow.

"But somehow, your sister likes me the best."

"Touché." Jungkook sighs, and Jimin laughs again, bending down to kiss the top of his head.

"Let's not have kids."

"Why? What happened to being the babysitter of the year?" Jungkook teases, and Jimin groans.

"It's too much work. I'm fucking exhausted, and all we did was go out, eat, go to the park and go back home to watch movies."

"I'm sure our kids wouldn't be much of a hassle. They'll take after you, they'll be lazy."

"What if it's your- you know what, forget it. Let's not think that far ahead."

Jungkook shrugs, leaning against his shoulder. "Fine by me. But if we have kids, don't you dare listen to Tae's advice when it comes to deciding their names."

Jimin laughs in agreement. "Don't worry, I would never."

"Good."

The two of them are silent for a bit, until Jungkook sighs happily and wraps both of his arms around Jimin's waist, rests his head on his shoulder and closes his eyes.

"You tired, babe?" Jimin asks. "We can go to your room if you like."

Jungkook shakes his head, nuzzling Jimin's neck as he speaks.

"No, its fine." He says, and Jimin can barely hear his quiet words over the noise from the TV. "I like it like this."

Jimin watches with a smile on his face as Jungkook's breathing becomes slow and steady and he relaxes in Jimin's arms, his lips parted as be sleeps.

The ending credits of the movie start to play, some pop song blasting accompanied with Jungkook's light snores, and Jimin reaches for the remote, turning the TV off so that neither Ji-ah, nor Jungkook wake up from the noise.

It's relieving to see his boyfriend like this, at ease and finally getting some sleep.

"Night, Koo." Jimin whispers, pressing a soft kiss on the top of his head. "Sweet dreams."

Jungkook doesn't reply, only exhales, letting out a long breath and shifts a little in his sleep, and Jimin has to laugh at that, tangling a hand in his boyfriend's hair, before closing his eyes and falling asleep, accompanied by the soothing sound of Jungkook's rhythmic breathing and the distant hum of the city outside.
