Jimin had slept til well past the time Jungkook had got home, eventually getting up just to eat a sandwich and have a drink before going back to bed only moving naturally in his sleep when Jungkook came, cuddling against him.
Jungkook caressed the soft skin of the other, two nights he'd slept like this, tantalisingly close but going no further.
Saturday came around and Jimin woke up early full of beans. He dressed in sweats and went downstairs, he ate toast then decided he would clean, first putting laundry in then dusting and wiping down, mopping floors so When Jungkook came down he found him balancing on a stool to wipe the higher ledges.
"Jimin?"
The smaller boy turned quickly forgetting what he was balanced on and started falling, Jungkooks quick reactions had him catching him.
"Gosh sorry, did I wake you? I didn't use the vacuum as I didn't want the noise to wake you, but I'll do that now..."
"Hold up..., it looks like you've cleaned everywhere?"
"Well yer, you go eat I'll vacuum,"
"How about we go out for a coffee instead?"
"Mmm,but...."
"You've done enough we can finish later."
"Can I hang the laundry up first?"
"Jesus you've done that too? What time did you get up?"
"Oh I don't know but I felt energetic, give me ten minutes and I'll be ready."
Jimin rushed to hang the laundry, then stood in front of Jungkook waiting to go.
"You driving or me?"
"You'll let me drive you? Come on then!"
Jungkook  sat I the passenger seat watching Jimin drive, the smaller male sucking his bottom lip in concentration. The small gesture bringing the others attention to those plump lips.
"So where do you want to go?"
"Take a left here," Jimin did so and came upon a street of quaint shops and cafes."pick one," Jungkook said and Jimin pulled up outside one called," the endless cup"
They went in, Jimin ordered a caramel macchiato with cream and a slice of cake,jungkook a black coffee and a savoury sandwich.
Jimin sipped his coffee getting cream on his nose, Jungkook leaned over gently wiping it off,
"Your like a little kid!"
"You should try it it's soooo delicious !" Jimin laughed
"Jungkook? Is that you?" A female voice said.
"Miyu! When did you get back?"
"Yesterday, so how have you been, I missed you and whose this?"
"This is..."
"I'm Jimin, just Jimin."
"Well Jimin I Hope you don't mind me talking to your friend, I've missed him, we used to be together."
"Jungkook why don't you get your friend a drink?"
"Usual Miyu?"
Jungkook got up and went to the counter, Jimin quickly stood up," er , I'll leave you two to it,can you give Jungkook the car keys , I have some shopping to do." He left the keys on the table and disappeared.
Jungkook came back placing Miyu's coffee down, he thought Jimin had gone to the bathroom as his keys and half eaten cake were there.
Miyu leaned against him," so did you miss me?"
"I was busy,"
"Oh you, always working, no wonder I gave up on you."
"I think we mutually agreed it was a fling and nothing else."
"You don't even pretend that it meant anything, you know we could give it another shot?"
"No..., I'm married,"
"What! Who to?"
"Jimin....."
"You mean the boy who left to do shopping? He said to take the car."
"What? Look I have to go nice seeing you."
He jumped up then got in the car driving around but he saw no sign of Jimin. He pulled over and rang his number.
"Hello?@
"Jimin why did you leave and where are you?"
"Erm, I thought you would be happier with your old girlfriend and she seemed eager for your attention."
"Are you jealous!"
"What...,no.., I -I just thought you would prefer her company to mine, I'll see you at the house later my hair needs cutting and I want to buy something to wear for tonight okay? Bye"
He rang off before Jungkook could say another word.
Jungkook drove home, thinking over Jimins words, did he prefer Miyu's company....? No, all he'd wanted was to get back to Jimin. This revelation made him think, what did he actually think of Jimin? He was good looking he was cute, hard working annoying in a funny way, sexy..... was he falling for him?!?!
Jimin walked around the shops, he thought about how he'd felt when Miyu turned up. It had hit him this relationship he had with Jungkook wasn't permanent , he knew Jungkook couldn't wait for the year to be over, he was just a passing pleasure, they got on well in bed and now they didn't really argue but he'd never been Jungkooks choice and even if his heart wished it was real he'd have to keep up a front and wave goodbye at the end of it.
He got to a hairdresser and when asked asked if he could have some chestnut lowlights put in his black hair and a sexy swept back hairstyle.
Jungkook had done the vacuuming, after all Jimin had done the rest, he went and tidied the bedroom noticing Jimins wedding band on the dressing table, actually apart from the wedding day he'd never seen Jimin wear it. He picked it up realising that it had been bought for a woman's finger, he'd just had Jin order some as he wasn't bothered by them, he didn't think the style suited Jimin at all, maybe he should get another one..., but if Jimin didn't wear this whose to say he'd wear another one? He'd probably say it was wasted money.
He'd eaten lunch but Jimin still wasn't back. He went back to the bedroom sorting some clothes for the club when he heard the front door close.
He walked downstairs seeing Jimin dump some bags down before stretching his fingers.
"Gosh they were heavy,"
"I like your hair," Jungkook said , the style made Jimin look sexier than ever.
"Really? I thought I'd try something different it took a while so then I rushed around trying to find something in my budget, I don't want to waste money I need to save but I don't want to show you up either."
"Jimin while we are married you should use my money, your sister would have had an allowance."
"But I'm not her am I ? I'm just the second choice bride....."
"We are married so you take what you need."
"I work so I don't need to take anything do I ? I need a cold drink I'm thirsty."
"Have you eaten...? Mmmm I see from your guilty look that's a no..., we can have an early meal before we get ready, go watch tv put your feet up."
Jimin did so yawning as he sat down, shopping is tiring he thought, I'll just close my eyes for a second.....
Jungkook came in five minutes later with Jimins drink to find him sprawled on the edge of the sofa sound asleep. He moved him so he was laying more securely  and sat on the edge staring at him.
"Why do you have to be so independent why can't you let me look after you?"
He brushed Jimins hair back and pecked his forehead, hearing Jimin mumble in his sleep," my Kookie,"
The words hit him hard and he felt a rush of emotion, he realised far from just liking or putting up with Jimin he wanted forever with him, he'd crept into his cold heart and taken him unawares, he loved Jimin.
