"Bestfriends" | jikook |

how things are between us

"Tip tap, tip tap. The only sound that could be heard was water droplets falling one by one from the closed faucet and sniffs of someone crouching behind the toilet door, trying to get himself together. That someone is none other than Jimin, the Jimin who is pathetically in love with his best friend. If you ask him, he does not want to do anything with this utterly ridiculous feeling that has a painful grip on his heart. He's tired of crying every day. It's torture to see his best friend with a new girlfriend every week. He had to be a fuckboy over anything, but it broke him when the said best friend told him that he was serious this time. He knew he had to move on; he knew he had no chance. Worst of all, he can't lose their friendship over his ridiculous crush; he can't lose it, never. It's too precious to him, but it just gets so damn difficult.

He gets up from the floor, turns the knob of the faucet, and splashes water on his face. 'You can do this, Jimin. You just have to act normal. You didn't cry your eyes out right now, but instead, you took a big dump,' he assures himself and flushes the toilet, washes his hands, and gets out of the washroom.

'Took you long enough,' Jungkook snarls.

'Yeah, now I can't even take a big dump in peace,' Jimin rolls his eyes.

'Oh please, how come I don't smell shit?'

'Not everyone's shit stinks like yours, mind you.'

'Hmm, you may be right on that one,' Jungkook laughed. 'Of course, you are a god. My bad that I took you as us imperfect homo sapiens. How rude of me to think you shit anything else but roses,' Jungkook continues amusedly.

'Shut up, and why are you here so late? What if I was sleeping? Don't you have manners? And aren't you supposed to be with your girlfriend? What will she think?' Jimin asks.

'Why now I can't even spend time with you, and why will she think anything? You are my best friend,' JK argues.

'Says you,' Jimin whispers aloud.

'Okay, I am going,' Jungkook stands up abruptly from the bed and strides towards the door, but Jimin catches him midway and backhugs him. 'I am sorry, okay. You know I was just joking. Let's watch a movie. I will make your favorite honey popcorn to make it up to you,' he whispers slowly.

'Okay, if you insist,' JK turns around and hugs him back.

Jimin has forgotten that he was crying his eyes out half an hour ago, and now they are cuddled up in the bed with the lights off, and 'Your Name' playing on the laptop, which they have watched a hundred times, but it's still their favorite comfort movie.

'Were you jealous two minutes ago?' Jungkook starts.

'Jealous of what? I am better than you in everything, for your information.'

'Hmm, but I can smell jealousy on you whenever I talk about Jenni. You smell like honey with sour lime.'

Jimin starts trembling, and his heart starts beating faster. The last thing he wants is Jungkook knowing about his undying love for him.

'You know you are my number one, right? No one comes above you, not even my girlfriend,' Jungkook reassures.

'You shouldn't say stuff like this,' Jimin whispers and inhales the woody and calming scent of Jungkook. The scent is so soothing and comfortable that he dozes off with his face squished on Jungkook's side.

The next day, Jimin tries turning to the other side to get more comfortable, but something is stopping him. He feels a heavy weight over him. He opens his eyes slowly and finds his face pressed against Jungkook's naked chest, and Jungkook's arms firmly holding him in place.

'HEY, YOU F**KER, LET ME GO!' he panics and pushes himself up.

'F**KING- LET- GO.'

'What the f**k is wrong with you, hyung? Why are you screaming at this hour?' Jungkook whines.

'WHY AM I SCREAMING, YOU ASK? OPEN YOUR EYES AND FIND OUT, WON'T YOU?' Jimin punches Jungkook's chest lightly. Jungkook opens his eyes and is met with Jimin looking at him with a frown. He then looks at their position.

'Hehehe.'

'Why are you so cute, Jimin hyungie?' He hugged Jimin harder and sniffs his hair.

'YOU BITCH, LET GO OF ME, OR I AM NEVER HAVING MOVIE NIGHTS WITH YOU EVER AGAIN,' Jimin threatens.

'Okay, okay, calm down, hyung. I am sorry, alright.'

Jimin gets up from bed, his hair disheveled, the shirt which is too big on him riding off one arm. He looks like a complete angel. Jungkook kept staring at him until Jimin completely walks inside the washroom and closes the door.

Until next time. ❤️"
