42 - Dreams

It had been a month. A solid month.  Namjoon had lived up to his word, investing in a photography studio for Jungkook to start working on his dream.

Namjoon had even helped him out with clients, by putting in a good word for him on the market. Namjoon had also hired Taehyung as the internal auditor, since Taehyung studied that in university.

All that was left just happened to be Jimin. For this month, they had relied on whatever savings they both had but they knew that they couldn't rely on it forever.

So, Jungkook did what he could do to get Jimin to dance again. He had been conspiring in secret with Namjoon ever since the leading businessman helped Jungkook with his own photography studio.

Now, Namjoon helped Jungkook find the perfect way for Jimin to work on his dream career.

It was a Friday afternoon, after Jungkook had been working in his photography studio. As of late, he's been working on advertising for the Golden Studio. He loved the name which his boyfriend chose.

After work, Jimin was waiting in their shared apartment for a long time for Jungkook to come home. It was around five in the afternoon, the sun still up. It was just nearing the end of May, and summer was around the corner.

Then, the spare key rattled in the lock, the doorknob to the apartment turning with Jungkook entering. The older man had his camera case lanyard around his neck, his small bag with camera equipment on his arm.

Jungkook smiled at his lover as he opened the door to their shared apartment. Jimin left his spot on the comfortable couch, forgetting all about his television series as he walked towards his lover who just got home from work.

Jimin immediately cupped his cheeks, pecking Jungkook's lips to welcome him home.

"How was your day at work?" Jimin asked sweetly, his thumbs running along Jungkook's cheekbone. The older man sighed tiredly. He was exhausted. He worked but for barely any returns. The popularity of his studio will only pick up later on, give it a few months.

"Tiring. It wasn't the fact that I had a lot to do. It's the fact that I had not enough to do. Namjoon managed to get me a client who spoke to me today. A lady who wants to hire a photographer for her brand endorsement. The thing is, if I could get more clients, we'd be able to live comfortably. But for the next few months if this is the rate that things are going, then we won't be financially stable for a while," Jungkook sighed. The stress of the situation was slowly eating him up.

Jimin continued to cup his cheeks, feeling bad for his lover.

"I told you to let me start work again. You don't want me to go back to the club but there aren't many options-"

"No, Angel. I'm not having you work at that place again," Jungkook said flatly as he moved towards the bedroom, wanting to leave his equipment down in their bedroom.

"Baby, I know, but that's the only option I have. I can't let you work hard like this without you getting anything in return. Until your business picks up, I need to get working and this is the only way," Jimin said with urgency in his voice, following Jungkook towards the bedroom.

"I don't want you to go back there. End of story. I have been working on a way to get you to dance again. You can be your own boss, like you wanted," Jungkook said, leaving his gear in the bedroom before he and Jimin went back to the living room area.

"What do you mean?" Jimin asked his lover, now becoming curious as to what Jungkook was trying to imply.

"I have found a way for you to dance. Remember my end of the deal? I invested in a way for you to dance," Jungkook said as the couple stopped in the center of the living room, discussing.
