31. You Do Have A Boyfriend

"Stay with me," Jimin asked Jungkook after laying him down on the bed.

"I don't want to trouble you, please drop me home." Jungkook shook his head, smoldering his eyes as though the thought made him uncomfortable.

"You do realize that I am your personal driver. Don't you?" Jimin asked Jungkook, chuckling a little and trying to make his point and counter Jungkook's. The boy pouted. "And I have no problem being one." He caressed his hand over the boy's forehead.

Jungkook's heart pounded like a bird pecking at food. Jimin drew the duvet over him and Jungkook curled into it. "Sleep if you want, I will go wind up the party." Jimin took everything in his control to step backward instead of every tissue in his body was screaming to lean down and kiss the boy.

Jungkook nodded and closed his eyes after inhaling deeply.

The next morning, Jungkook woke up and found that he was in a familiar room, only alone. "Oh god! I didn't tell mom I'd stay over." He frantically began to find his phone but he couldn't. Where is Jimin Hyung?

Quickly, he ran down the stairs to find a very empty and extremely dirty house. "Ji-Jimin Hyung?!" He called in a panic. "JIMIN HYUNG?" He screamed louder and within a few seconds, a bare feet boy appeared from behind the closed door.

"Jungkook-ah..." Jimin croaked in his sleepy voice as he trudged towards the younger. "You are up early."

"My phone, I can't find my phone." Jungkook's brows were drawn together and the fear was dripping right through his eyes.

"Why do you need your phone, Jungkook-ah?" Jimin raked his hands through his hair and leisurely got away from Jungkook. "Who do you want to text when I am right here?" He groaned in his sleepy state.

Jungkook started following Jimin, trusting the latter that he'd know where his phone was. Jimin opened a drawer of the cabinet and took out a phone. "Here," he turned to see Jungkook sighing in relief. Just when Jungkook tried to hold the cellphone, Jimin pulled his hand back.

"Is it your boyfriend you want to text?"

"Hyung~" Jungkook whined and lunged at Jimin to grab what he wanted, but Jimin put his hand behind his back.

"Tell me first."

"I don't have a boyfriend," Jungkook growled in frustration.

"That's rude!" Jimin squinted his eyes, standing still. "Who am I then?"

"Hyung, please!" Jungkook grabbed Jimin's arm that was holding the phone and the older boy didn't struggle anymore, letting the younger have his way. "I didn't tell my mom about staying over. She is going to kill me." Jungkook intoned with a pout as he started to unlock the phone and walked away from Jimin.

"Relax!" Jimin plopped on the couch. "I already called her last night."

"You did?" Jungkook turned to look at Jimin and the boy nodded his head right before he patted the space beside him, indicating the younger to sit.

Jungkook still checked his phone to see if he had any angry texts from his mother, but he didn't. After he fell ill last to last year, he wasn't allowed to stay anywhere. His parents were overly possessive of him, wanting him to stay safe. When Jungkook was free from worry that he had no objection from his parents, he slumped beside Jimin.

"Hungry?" The older asked.

"Not yet," Jungkook pouted, looking around deliberately to dodge the eyes on him.

"Can you cook?" Jimin asked suddenly.

Jungkook perked up his brows with a proud brooding look. "No."

Jimin burst out chuckling. "Why is the look for then?"
