Why was Jimin looking at him like that?

Since he had put the suit on and showed the older male, the way he looked at him had a slight difference to it. It was slightly darker, clouded by something every time Jimin looked at him. He was sneaking glances when he thought Jungkook wasn't looking too, making the younger male squirm under his gaze.

Jimin had bought Jungkook's suit as well as one for himself with a white dress shirt instead. Jungkook couldn't help but notice how much more mature Jimin looked when his casual clothes were swapped for more high end ones. It made him seem so much more distinguished, and maybe that was the reason Jungkook found himself shrinking slightly under Jimin's gaze now.

The older male was right, dressing the part definitely made a difference.

"Are you ready for the important part?" It seemed like it had been forever since he and Jimin had last spoken words, mostly just sneaking glances at each other since he had tried the suit on. Jimin seemed to have composed himself now though, leaning against the side of Yoongi's car.

Yoongi had disappeared for a moment, hopping out of the driver's seat the grab a drink from a nearby store while he waited for Jungkook and Jimin.

"I think so." Jungkook answered honestly, fidgeting with the cuffs of his suit jacket. "I know how to lie, it's just a bit nerve wracking, you know?"

Jimin nodded, crossing his arms over his chest and meeting Jungkook's gaze.

"It's still scary for me too." He admitted, watching as Jungkook's eyes widened at his words. "No matter how many times you do it, the fear will never go away - it just gets hidden by confidence." His silver hair whipped in the wind as a gust of wind blew past, and he paused to let Jungkook take in his words. "I'll do most of the talking, you just have to follow my leads and become familiar with the cameras. It'll be alright."

It was interesting, how Jimin's words could make him feel more relaxed. Jungkook wanted to just account it to the older male having more experience than him, but he knew it was more than that. He felt comforted. Jimin used to look at him with emotionless eyes, dragging through each of their encounters like it was a chore. But now, why was his gaze so warm? His eyes told Jungkook that he understood, and that he would be there.

Jungkook could couldn't help but wonder when he became someone to Jimin.

He watched as the older male undid the silver watch that he often wore on his wrist, before reaching out to hand it to Jungkook. "Take it. I'll look nice with your outfit."

Jungkook was shocked, hesitant as he reached out to take the piece of jewelry out of Jimin's hand.

"To keep?" He asked, admiring the intricacies of the watch and observing how it glinted in the sparse sunlight.

"If you like it." Jimin smiled softly, watching Jungkook adjust the watch to fit his wrist before observing how it looked on him. Jungkook really did look stunning when he was all dressed up like this, Jimin hoped he knew that.

"Thank you." Jungkook smiled bashfully, adjusting his suit jacket once more. The clouds in the sky shifted, making room for the sunlight to illuminate the younger boy - golden rays casting harsh shadows against the high points of his face. His jewelry sparkled, and his eyes looked like pools of honey in the sun.

Jimin merely nodded, and looked away before breathing out a deep breath. He didn't know what switch had flipped in his brain that day, but he just wanted to admire Jungkook for hours. It had been so long since he had looked at somebody this way, and it was hitting him like a truck.
