Rebel | Jinkook

Sixteen

Jungkook sat in the rear of the bus with his head thrown back, holding in one hand the bag that contained two different flavors of ice cream and, in his other hand, he held the phone. He was exhausted and had planned on going straight home after work, but when Jin asked about ice cream, he felt it was the least he could do, especially considering that he could get two pints of ice cream for the price of one.

He had no idea what Taehyung and Jimin were up to, but he doubted that Taehyung invited Jimin for ice cream. Taehyung was his best friend, and he knew him very well.

Since the thought caused him to second-guess what he was doing, he glanced down at the bag containing the ice cream he was holding. He was not used to behaving this way; typically, he was self-centered with his time, except when it came to his mother.

The vibration of his phone caused him to get diverted from his thoughts, and he eventually unlocked it and glanced at the message that had been sent to him by Taehyung.

When he read it, he couldn't help but laugh. As soon as he finished reading the message, he said loudly, "of course you are not eating any fucking ice cream."

"I will stop before heading home; the place is free for you to use."

Once he had finished sending his response, he settled back to take a nap but was awakened by a voice, which led him to open his eyes.

"Jungkook, is that you?"

As soon as Jungkook glanced at the guy seated next to him, he sighed long. "No, it's not."

"You are so funny," the man giggled to himself. "Of course, it's you. How are you doing these days? Did you receive my messages?"

"No, I blocked you."

As soon as he heard Jungkook's response, the man huffed and asked, "Did you forget the night we spent together?"

"Yes, so stop stalking me."

"You are such a fucking asshole!"

"Glad you are aware."

*****

As Jin heard the doorbell ring, he was startled awake; his eyes were wide as he peered around the room, and he exclaimed, "Oh no, when did I sleep?"

He knew he had set up his study nest to study, but he wasn't sure when he had fallen asleep. He asked himself, "Did I study?" as he got up and headed for the door.

"Jungkook!" When he opened the door and saw Jungkook, he smiled happily.

"What were you doing? Do you know how long I have been out here and have called you?"

Jin pouted as he stared at Jungkook, "I think I was sleeping; I am sorry."

"You think you were sleeping?" When he got inside Jin's apartment, Jungkook arched one eyebrow and looked around curiously.

"Yeah, since I was studying, but I believe that I also fell asleep at some point. That happens each time I participate in university studies."

Jungkook tried not to smile as he listened to Jin, "so instead of studying, you were sleeping?"

"I think I was doing both."

Before proceeding further into Jin's apartment, Jungkook gave a dismissive shake of his head and locked the door behind him. Once he walked away, Jin followed in his footsteps and asked, "you bought me ice cream?"

"No."

"I can see that it's already in the bag!" Jin eventually caught up to Jungkook and, amid giggles, snatched the bag from his grip.
