Lets Make This Work

••••••• jimin's pov •••••••

After jungkook had left I was left wondering what had gotten into him. Why was he being nice to me ? Mayhe he was really sorry for the past and wants to change. I feel guilty about being too harsh on him. Maybe it was time to let go of whatever happened in the past and work on the friendship. But the thing was what do I do about my feelings. I accept the fact that I still had something for him. But if he wants to build the friendship, I won't let my feelings come in between. I was thinking all this when I heard the front door open. I went down the stairs , as I thought it was jungkook but fuck my luck it was yugeom.

"Jungkook-ah what took you so lo-"
Yugeom looked at me like I was some kind of virus. I never understood his behavior towards me. He was jealous of me for sure.

"What are you doing here you hoe!?" He said , boiling with anger.

"I live here. I pay rent, wdym?"
I said nonchalantly. I'm not taking this shit anymore. I gotta clear shit up.

"Look yugeom. I'm not here to take your boyfriend away" I said, stressing the word boyfriend.
"I will be living here for this semester and I would like you to not interfere in my fucking life. You both can do whatever the fuck you want. Leave me outta it."
I spat out the the words in anger and walked upstairs. I could hear him cursing under his breath and somehow it felt good.

I went inside my room and laid on the bed thinking what the hell just happened. How ridiculous my life had turned into. Then suddenly I heard jungkook's voice from downstairs.

So he's back. I listened carefully to the tone of their voices. They were arguing. Sigh! Nothing would ever go right anyway. It's better not to go downstairs now although I needed to pee. Shit I totally forgot about it after I saw yugeom. I laughed thinking about it. It has started to bother me less now. It felt good that I could stand up for myself now. Soon I drifted to sleep.

When I woke up it was almost dinner time. Shit I slept for 4 hours. I felt terrible. My back was aching with pain. I peeked outside my room , there was no one there. Then I went to the kitchen downstairs to make something for myself.. and for him too. Why not? He made breakfast for me so I should make dinner for him to pay him back.
I took some veggies out of the fridge and washed them.

"What are you doing?" I turned my back to see jungkook. He's hair was a mess and he was yawing. Looks likes he slept too.

"I'm making dinner" I gave him a smile and walked towards him.
"Did you sleep well?" I asked looking at his red eyes.

"Oh yes I did. You slept too?"

"Yes I wanted to take a small nap but slept for like 4 hours." I chuckled saying this.

"Let me help you make dinner." Jungkook offered, locking eyes with me and a faint smile forming on his face.

"Okay" I said sounding amused.

"What are you smiling at?" I creased my eyebrows at him.

"Nothing nothing" he said absentmindedly and went to get something from the fridge.

"Shit" he suddenly muttered.

"Whaaat?" I eyed the fridge not understanding the matter.

"We don't have meat. I was thinking of making something good for you." He sounded disappointed.

"It's okay jungkook let's just have a simple meal today."

He checked his watch and sighed.

"It's not much late you know. We can go to the supermarket and get the meat along with some drinks. What do you say?" He said looking at me expectedly.

I paused and thought for sometime and finally agreed.
"Okay let me grab the keys !" He smiled and ran to get the keys.

We walked to jungkook's car and he opened the door for me. I sat on the front seat beside him. Honestly it felt a little weird, how fast things were getting better. Almost at a rate where it felt like something strange. A few minutes passed by, I completely zoned out of time and space.

"Jimin" jungkook tapped on my shoulder and look at me.

"What are you thinking" he asked, driving slowly, his eyes on the road.

"Nothing I just-" jungkook stopped the car and frowned at me. He looked like he was about to cry.

"Jimin" his voice broke down.
" You know when you left Seoul 3 years ago, I felt like I would cry myself to death." A tear slipped out his eyes.

My heart sank and soon I was crying too.

"I screwed up too bad jimin." He started sobbing loudly.

"Jungkook... I missed you"
I caressed his cheeks and wiped the tears from his face.

"I missed you too jimin" He wrapped his hands around me and hugged me. I cried in his arms.

"I'm sorry jimin , I'm so fucking ridiculous to have done that to you. I'm sorry you went through so much because of me." He broke the hug and looked a me.

"Gguk" it's the first time I called him that after years. He smiled hearing his nickname.

" I forgave you already. It was hard for me you know. I felt so lost after all that. I felt betrayed. I'll be honest. But I understand we were too young. And you can make mistakes but the most important thing is to fix them."
I gave him my most genuine smile and he laughed while half crying.

"Promise me again." I said, my voice hoarse from crying. " That you'll not leave me no matter what"

"I pro- promise" His sobs becoming quieter now.

"If not best friends..." I paused and glanced at him. "Let's start with being friends"

"Sure jimin ah.. let's make this work this time"

I raised my pinky finger towards him and waited for him to respond.
Jungkook chuckled and locked our pinkies together.

I swear anyone could hear my heartbeat at that moment. It was such a straight out of movies scene, I smiled to myself, losing myself in the moment, wishing it would last forever.
