Proceed with Caution (jikook/kookmin)

8. you were right

Jungkook's not sure if he went to sleep from the sounds of Jimin's soft snores or the ache of too many thoughts circling his brain.

He's awoken by the sun shining into Jimin's Camaro. His body is sore and his back is sticking to the seats as he blinks his eyes open. He takes in Jimin sleeping on his arm, the smaller's face soft looking as he dreams.

Jungkook stares for a long while, just counting Jimin's lashes and his never ending freckles. He stares at the scar on his right eyelid, his thick pink lips, and the hickeys along his sun-kissed skin.

He has the sudden urge to lean in and kiss the smaller but decides against it, his chest fluttering as he takes in their positions.

Jimin's now on his back, Jungkook having slipped out of him sometime in the night. He looks at his cock and flushes at all the dried evidence of their coupling on it, the urge to take a shower overwhelming.

Fortunately, he gazes back up to see Jimin awake. His taupe flecked eyes open and staring tiredly.

He leans in and Jungkook holds his breath, expecting a kiss yet Jimin only feigns a head-butt.

Jungkook snorts, the older sitting up with a small, handsome smile and beginning to gather his clothes. Jungkook follows suit and they dress silently, Jimin climbing to the front seat and starting his car once done.

Jungkook gets in the passenger seat and pulls on his shirt. He watches as Jimin rolls his window down and lights a smoke. He takes a few puffs before pulling off, Jungkook not excited to see his mother's disappointed expression again.

He thinks momentarily that this is the perfect moment to end things if he's going to. It's gone too far and people are going to get hurt if they don't stop. Jungkook was worried he might be one of them.

He starts as soon as Jimin pulls up at his house. "Hey um—"

Jimin cuts him off.  "I know what you're going to say and you're right. We should stop."

Jungkook nods and Jimin doesn't meet his eyes.

"I understand if you don't want me to court Suji anymore as well."

Jimin's eyebrows furrow suddenly, he turns to Jungkook with a scowl. "I said we should stop not that we have to."

Jungkook's face falls. What the fuck is the older thinking? He can't be serious.

Jungkook responds unsurely, "But Jimin—"

"What? Already dropping the hyung on me?" Jimin jests and Jungkook can't help his smile when he shakes his head.

"I just... what about Suji?" His stomach churns guiltily. "I don't want to hurt her."

If she knew what they did she would be devastated. She would never want to look at Jungkook again. Jungkook would probably never want to look at himself.

"Jungkook do you want to stop?" Jimin retorts, sounding annoyed. "Or are you just saying we should because you feel guilty?"

"And you don't feel guilty?" Jungkook retaliates, not quite understanding the man.

Jimin is quiet for a second, his eyes looking out into the quiet neighborhood before turning back to Jungkook. He's smirking but his gaze is fixed. "I'm guilty of many things Jungkook."

Jungkook doesn't question it but he assumes that this must be at the top of Jimin's list based on the way he was begging Jungkook to stop him.

Jungkook berates himself for not listening. They would definitely not be in this predicament if he had.
