Roommates [ot7]

.21

The next morning, I woke up and I still felt a little sad.

I only had to go to work today, so I didn't have to go in until later. I sat on the couch in the living room, hugging my knees to my chest and staring at nothing.

"Jungkook, are you okay?" I heard Jimin ask me, wearing a crop top and short shorts.

I snapped out of it and looked at him. "Huh? Oh yeah, I'm fine."

"Are you sure? You've been sitting on the couch for almost an hour, staring at nothing, that makes me concerned." He said.

"I just...have a lot on my mind."

"Wanna talk about it?"

"It's stupid, trust me."

"I'm sure it's not." He said before sitting next to me.

I sighed and turned to Jimin. "Well...Hoseok and I had sex last night and..." I stopped, debating on if I should say it or not.

"And what?" Jimin asked gently.

"We didn't...cuddle after sex." I said, feeling embarrassed.

Jimin nodded and played with my hair, which made me relax a little.

"I'm sorry to hear that, cutie." He said before kissing my head. "I'll cuddle with you for a little while, I don't have to do another cam session for another hour." He said, running his fingers in my hair.

I nodded. "Thanks Jimin."

Jimin and I laid down on the couch together, my head resting on his couch and my arm wrapped around him, while he played with my hair gently. We were quiet for a few minutes, until Jimin spoke up.

"I feel like Hoseok should've explained this to you before you two had sex." Jimin said.

"Explain what?"

Jimin was silent for a moment, and then spoke up.

"I don't really know how to explain it, but I'll try." Jimin said before taking a moment to find the right words.

"Hoseok only cuddles with people he loves." Jimin suddenly said. "And since you're new in this relationship, he's not quite on that level with you, but that doesn't mean he never will be on that level with you, it'll take some time." He said.

I nodded. "I understand." I said, playing with the crop top that Jimin had on. "I just wish he would've told me that, because I felt...used, like he just wanted to have sex with me and then when he got what he wanted, he didn't need me anymore. I know it sounds stupid, but...that's how I felt."

"Your feelings aren't stupid, it's okay to feel like that." He said, twirling some of my hair around his finger. "When I first had sex with Hoseok, he did the same thing to me. It made me feel like he only wanted me for sex. But with patience, he started warming up to me. It started with holding my hand, then laying his hand on my shoulder, then eventually, he cuddled with me." He said, running his fingers over my cheek. "Just give him time, okay? He'll start warming up to you." He added, kissing my forehead.
