CHAPTER 11 | LIKE

Jimin looks upto the figure entering his room, the guy he saw at the wedding with Jungkooks group, he wasn't really familiar with any of Jungkooks friends, he indeed was introduced to at the wedding but he kinda tend to forget though.
The buffed man walked towards Jimin.

"I'm Namjoon, remember?" Namjoon got himself seated near Jimin
"Yeah, good to see you again Namjoon"
"Me too, I came with Yoongi and Hobi, but apparently there's some tea going on with Hobi and kookie so Yoongi took them for a morning coffee out, tryingto settle that. How are you feeling now Jimin?"
Jimin literally started chuckling, hearing Jungkooks nickname.
"I'm doing good Nmajoon, Thank you" he replied between his chuckles.
"Why the laugh? And you sure? Your cheeks are red, you seem flustered" Namjoon spoke with a small smile appearing by looking at Jimins laugh.
" Uh.. that's... I think.. its the cold, I actually opened the window a little while back, that's probably it.." Jimin looked down, his mind going back to the Kiss. Get yourself together, that's just a kiss nothing to be excited about.

"Alrightyy, oh and I met Kai down in the lobby, he seems like a really nice guy." Namjoon spoke with a genuine smile appreciating how Kai helped him with the discharge procedures for Jimin as Jungkook went out with Yoongi.
"He is a really cool guy Namjoon"
"Yeahh.. so shall we get going then?, since everything is sorted and settled. And Kai will bring the Van to the front outside. Plus don't worry about Jungkook he'll come home with the rest"
Jimin smiled at Namjoon, he was about to ask about Jungkook and when Namjoon answered he was relieved that he didn't really have to ask.

~2 weeka later ~

It was chaotic.
The past two weeks at the apartment it had been bright for the first time, Jungkooks three mates were literally living there while Kai kept popping in every possible free time he had. Though there still is a little bit of tension in between Jungkook and Kai they really didn't publicise it, they kept it private and for some reason Jungkook didn't want Jimin to know.

Jimin and Jungkook had gotten closer than usual, Jungkook helping him with the smallest things and Jimin thanking him for everything. Once Jimin was feeling strong enough to start work everyone had stopped coming as usual but still he wasn't sad or happy, he knew they were here just to help him and he was so thankful for Jungkooks friends why couldn't Jungkook be like his friends before, no wonder they call him angry bird.

Jimim was laying down on the couch while it was his last day from the 2 week break. His mind was wandering to different thoughts and in every thought Jungkook some how was a part of it. He kinda had this new feeling towards Jungkook, he had tried his best to not open this feeling for the past week after the story, but now he couldn't help it. He was craving for Jungkook, he kept craving all the time but he controlled, he looked at the wall clock and there was around an hour for Jungkook to return from work and he was bored af.
Should I just sleep early?? But its only 8pm, should I make dinner for him as well?? But will he come home drunk?? But he hasn't since that day! How is he holding up?? Fuck it, lets just make it anyways.

Jimin took out the ingredients for pasta and got started with it, while the pastas were boiling he looked inside the fridge for any dessert ingredients he could try making when he suddenly remembered Yoongi telling Jungkook loves egg pudding. His eyes went to the egg and then to the boiling pasta. Should I make it? Fuck it, I'm making.

Jimin was done with the pudding while he stored the pasta inside the hotpot, so it could be served hot. There was ring from outside, when he saw through the peephole it was Jungkook. "JUNGKOOK "
Jimin opened the door with a small smile looking at Jungkook. Jungkook in return nodded with a smile.
"Your not drunk?"
"Ummm.. I thought...that I should stop for a few days.. or else I'll be disowned by my hyungs"
Jimin laughed at that and allowed Jungkook inside the house.
"Ooo smells like eggs and caramel, are you making something??" Jungkook looked back at Jimin while throwing himself on the couch, too tired to open his eyes.
"Yeahh, I actually made dinner and have you had dinner already?? Also some egg pudding.."
"Are you for real? I live for egg pudding and NO IM STARVING!!" Jungkook was already up and is walking toward the table.
Jimin giggled and went along from behind.

"Take a seat, I'll bring the food"
Jimin arrived with 2 plates of pasta and a bottle of champagne. While he was about to pour  in the first glass.
"Stop, save the drink, lets have it in the rooftop later, after dinner alright."
Jimin nodded in satisfaction. Why is he acting too good today, quite flattering I'll say.

Jungkook helped with clearing up after  dinner and dessert, he was happy with the pudding and also complimented Jimin on his cooking skill, which got Jimin so excited.
Jungkook led Jimin to the rooftop with the bottle of champagne and 2 glasses. Once outside the two got themselves a seated on the ground leaning by the wall edge.
Jimin wondered if Jungkook is true to himself righgt now or is it just that he needed something from jimin. He was flustered at first.
Should I just tell him I'm not gonna go abroad, and that I'm staying back? Why am I getting delusional, he doesn't even like me! Gawwd help me. Fuck my life for falling in love again!

"Jung.."
"Jimin I have something to give you,"
Jimin was cut by Jungkook. He held out an opened post package to Jimin, while Jimin just stared at it, and Jungkook stuffed it in Jimins arms that were resting on his lap.
"The gaurd gave it to me saying it's for 4/4 and i took it, but sorry for unwrapping it first, anyways I didn't know you were true about going away."
Jimin just stared at Jungkook then at the package, he ripped the paper off and saw his passport and a ticket.
Hold on, Kai had done all of this too soon?? Wait a minute why didn't he let me know?? Fuck but how do I explain Jungkook.

Jimin checked the ticket and it was to Australia, he looked at Jungkook who was just drinking from the bottle straight up. Looking at the sky after each sip.
"Jung" jimin was cut again.
"If you really wanna leave you can Jimin, no one is stopping you, and I could even sign the papers now for you."
Jimin couldn't believe his eyes out, he was trying not cry, he didn't want to go, but leaving his pride he saw how stubborn and egoistic Jungkook was..
"Jungkook no I actually wanted to say you...."
"I get it Jimin, no worries, totally. Oh and since tomorrow is our last day I can drop you off at the airport. GOOD NIGHT"
Jungkook was up and leaving, he walked away first becuase he didn't want Jimin to see his glossy eyes. while Jimin just sat there bursting into soft muffles,  he looked around hoping someone would stop Jungkook, someone to stop himslef, but he had no hope.
Is this happening for good? Tae why am I getting mislead all the time?! I really thought he was the one..

~Next day~

The morning Saturday drive to the airport was silent, The two were just silent conversing the whole morning, both in their own world Jimin not wanting to go and Jungkook trying to not not let jimin go. It was hard.

Jimin had thanked Kai for his efforts, for the first time in years he wasnt happy with what Kai did. He felt betrayed but he was still going just so he could make Jungkook realise.

Jungkook had parked and brought a trolley for Jimn to load.
"Thanks Jungkook but I can manage, you should leave"
Jungkook felt offended, he wanted to go tug on Jimins sleeve and beg on his knees for him to not go. But his pride kept taking over. He wanted to act strong infront of Jimin.

Jimin was leaving with the cart, half way out of the parking lot,
"Jimin you took your meds?" Jungkook scremed, jimin turned and nodded waving at Jungkook to go as he was about to cry.
"JIMINSHIII!! GOOD BYE" Jungkook screamed again.
Jimin turned back and waved at him again with a straight face, if he hears one more Jimin he'd surely just stop going. But there was no more..he wished for more but there wasn't.

Jungkook left  and was stuck in the traffic outside the car park, it was terrible when he got a call, he picked it with frustration.
"Kookie, about what Kai said, is it true?? Fucking tell me Jungkook!"
"YES HYUNG YES! AND DONT TELL ME TO GET MARRIED EVER AGAIN, IM NOT GOING TO FALL IN LOVE AGAIN HYUNG, IM DONE WITH MY LIFE PLEASE HYUNG JUST LET ME GO FOR FUCKS SAKE! I CANT DO THIS ANYMORE"
"Jungkook... please Kook, I believe you. Kook just calm down alright."
Jungkook dropped the phone in rage, tooting the horn for the guy in front to move when his phone rang again he picked it up in extra anger, without looking at the caller ID.
"HYUNG JUST FUCKING LEAV..."
"Jungkook, its me Jimin"
He took the phone away from his ear to check the ID.
"JIMIN"
