36 : New becomes normal

"Hyung!" Jungkook shot an annoyed glare.

Jimin, to tease him, wasn't landing on his feet properly. And Jungkook being Jungkook, wanted to have a perfect superhero landing from the actor. "I thought that was much better," Jimin pointed back at the mattress which was laid down for his stunts.

"You are doing this on purpose!" Jungkook pouted indignantly, and seeing that, the actor's gloved hands raised up to hold his cheeks.

"My baby," he smiled, wanting to kiss him, but there were a lot of people around them. The united states was much different from Korea. The people didn't care much for other people's business, and it made Jimin and Jungkook freely express their emotions in public, but they still didn't come out, so they had to ensure that people didn't see their display of affection. "If I finish this scene in the next cut, you have to go out with me tonight."

"I told you that Noona has invited me to introduce myself to a few people. I don't want to go to her party too. I know I'll get bored, but she is only doing this to help me."

Jimin sighed, knowing that Jungkook needed to focus on work at this stage of his career the hardest. Hundreds of creative minds were working to bring this new vision to fruition. When he started his career as an actor, he also hated meeting the directors and producers and introducing himself, answering the same questions about his background over and over again, but it helped him and he ended up getting more and more opportunities.

At the same time, Jungkook was falling sick way too much of late. It was often fever and headache because of working out in the heat for too long. Jimin wanted tonight to pamper the younger one. "I understand," he nodded. "I can come with you if you want."

"You would?" Jungkook asked quizically. When he asked Jimin to join him, the latter denied it, saying he didn't want to talk to other people in the Hollywood industry just yet.

"I would," Jimin peeked around before gently pecking the director's knuckles.

Jungkook wanted to jump on the actor, but Jimin raised his brows in warning, indicating that there were still a few people around them.

They succeeded to finish the shoot in the next take after Jimin didn't give Jungkook any trouble. The director, with the help of his assistants, cleared up the set and waited for the actor - who was also his proud boyfriend - in his car. The actor once changed into his own clothes, returned quickly, and got inside the car also.

They sat close, hugging each other. The driver provided to the two was from Maxwell. Jimin was tired, as always, but he made the younger sleep in his arms, as usual. For Jimin, the shooting wasn't anything out of the ordinary, but filming his first gay and first superhero movie was more work than usual. It took a lot of training in gymnastics and acrobatics to achieve the level of agility required for this.

On the other hand, the new work was weighing on Jungkook, and the actor knew that Jungkook needed to be taken care of before he could slide smoothly into his new schedule. The silent ride halted when they arrived home. "Baby," Jimin whispered in Jungkook's ears before kissing his lips.

The younger opened his eyes and got up from Jimin's shoulder to look out with a sigh. He opened the car door to step out, but Jimin tugged on his handbag. Jungkook let go reluctantly. He could tell that Jimin was doing more in terms of physical assistance. Jungkook loved helping Jimin, and being the actor's former assistant for a year, he was used to it too. The actor never carried anything or opened a car door for himself, but he was doing all he could for him. The two often ended up clashing on such things. Today, Jungkook only smiled graciously and walked ahead.
