44. Pink Pearl And Angel

"Why are you following me?" Jungkook asked, looking at Jimin walking behind him.

"Just want to make sure you reach home alright."

"I don't need you to babysit me, I told you!"

"No," Jimin chuckled. "I need a babysitter too Jungkook-ah. Do you think it's only about you? How about I am not feeling well?"

Jungkook's feet stalled as he thought if Jimin was bluffing or really wasn't well. Either way, he couldn't ignore it for long. "Are you okay?" He turned around, looking at Jimin with concern and the older decided to scowl his face as if he was in great pain and held his stomach.

"No."

"You are so stupid," Jungkook walked back, snatching the bag from Jimin to carry it over his chest. "Why are you walking when you could have taken the bus?"

"I saw you walking so I followed." Jimin kept his act, slightly hunching his shoulders down and walking slowly.

"I have known for a long time that you are dumb." Jungkook hesitated but gripped Jimin's hand rather firmly to continue walking.

Jimin didn't answer, letting the boy lead him. "Are you really okay, Hyung? Should I call my dad? He can come to pick us up."

"No," Jimin shook his head with dismissive hands, not wanting to face the senior Jeon. "I can walk. I just need to sit for a moment."

Jungkook looked around, seeing a park a few meters ahead. "Hop on my back. I will carry you."

Jimin laughed, like really laughed, falling over the road and rolling there. Jungkook just stared at him blankly. "I can carry you. I am strong enough."

"Jungkook-ah," Jimin's eyes were tightly shut as he held his stomach and Jungkook couldn't tell if the older would cry out in pain or was he just holding his stomach due to uncontrollable laughter. He crouched down to spectate.

"I am not saying you aren't strong enough," Jimin composed himself now. "But I can walk. You can carry me, of course. I just prefer to not be carried on the road. "

Jungkook smiled before joining Jimin in his laughter. The two were like this after months and Jimin wanted to stop the time so they could keep laughing like two idiots, but he couldn't do that and soon, they resumed walking.

"Bye, go on first," Jimin smiled his 'boyfriend' smile at Jungkook, causing the younger to be so nervous that he looked down while gulping and sweating.

"Y-yeah," he stuttered and reluctantly got in the house, immediately scampering to his room after ignoring his parents.

Mrs. Jeon looked outside to spot Jimin standing with a downcast face, and it was after so many months she was seeing the boy so she couldn't hold herself back. "Jimin!" She called, rushing towards the gate. The older teen's heart sank, seeing the fond look on Mrs. Jeon's face. "Come on in."

"Aunty, I am getting late." Jimin pointed towards the road as he looked at the lady excitedly waving at him.

"At least have some water, honey."

Jimin couldn't say no to that as he slowly walked inside, recollecting the threat she had given to them both and also realizing that he had sucked Jungkook off a few weeks ago. The thought made his cheeks turn bright red.

"Omo! Look at your face. For how long have you two been walking in sun?" She rushed to the kitchen, picking up fruits quickly to make a smoothie.

"Not long," Jimin scratched the back of his head, stealing a glance at the staircase, hoping Jungkook came down.
