"What kind of coffee do you like, Jimin?"

Jimin didn't exactly take Jungkook seriously when the younger male had invited him over for coffee. In all honestly he just thought that it was just another ploy to have Jimin tangled up within his bedsheets again.

He wouldn't have minded, but it definitely wouldn't have been the preferred outcome.

Yet here Jungkook stood, showered hair still drying and a fitted white t-shirt on his torso as he poured espresso beans into the machine adjacent to him - and Jimin found himself being happy to be proved wrong. As always, he looked like he could have come straight out of a magazine, effortlessly gorgeous and leaving Jimin near swooning as he sat across from the younger male.

"Um... hot?" Jimin laughed softly, knowing that his answer sounded fairly ridiculous. "And with cream and sugar." He watched a small smile spread across Jungkook's mouth, before he was breaking out into a full blown grin and letting out a chuckle.

"Be more vague, would you?" The blue haired male laughed softly, setting down the bag of espresso beans and pressing the button on the machine that ground them. He looked up to meet Jimin's eyes, his gaze swimming with amusement. "Latte? Cappuccino? Macchiato?"

"Korean, please." Jimin giggled, his eyes crinkling up as he watched Jungkook's roll his eyes lightheartedly in response. "A latte, if that's not too much to ask." He smiled softly, resting his head on his hand as he looked up at the other male. "I was honestly just expecting a normal mug of coffee, I didn't think you'd be such a connoisseur."

Jungkook smirked softly, before walking over to the fridge and pulling out a carton of milk.

"I just got tired of paying for something I could easily do myself." He answered, pouring milk into a cup that was sat on the table in front of Jimin. "Also inconsistencies." Jungkook continued, before he walked back over to the espresso machine, bringing the cup of milk with him to steam it. "I'm picky with my coffee, and I've never went to a shop that can make it the exact same way every time." He pressed two buttons on the machine in concession, the sound of milk steaming and coffee brewing filling the silence between his words. "I, on the other hand, can."

Jimin raised an eyebrow, leaning forward slightly in his seat.

"Confident." He observed, and it was an adjective that he had pinned to Jungkook the moment they had met. Now though, was the first time he actually got to voice it. "Or maybe... Cocky?"

Jungkook scoffed, a playful smile on his lips as he leaned forward and set a coffee cup in front of Jimin.

"What's the difference?" He asked softly. Jimin's breath hitched, and he watched as Jungkook slowly poured a steaming double shot of espresso into the mug. The whisps of steam swirled into the air, before disappearing just beyond the barrier of the cup's edge.

It smelled amazing too - the combination of sweetness and bitterness making Jimin's mouth water from the scent. He waited a few moments to answer, observing as Jungkook then slowly poured the steamed milk on top, transitioning the colour to a warm caramel tone as the milk collided with espresso.

"The fact that you don't know." Jimin finally responded, reaching forwards once Jungkook slid the mug closer to him. "That's the difference." He brought the mug to his lips, meeting Jungkook's eyes as the bittersweet taste of coffee met his tongue.

Jungkook's eyebrows furrowed, his expression turning to a confused one for just a moment before he was shaking his head and chuckling softly.

"Sometimes you don't make sense, Jimin." He laughed, his eyes curious as they observed the male in front of him. Jimin took another sip of his drink, before shrugging.
