One day, Jimin was returning from a quick grocery run when he heard gentle music coming from the apartment next door. It was the same music that Jungkook used in his videos.

Curious, Jimin pressed his ear to the wall, listening intently as he heard a soft spoken voice talking into what he assumed to be a microphone.

Jimin felt a rush of warmth as he listened to this mysterious man's voice, his gut telling him it sounded familiar. Almost like the youtuber he had been obsessing over for weeks. Imagining how it would feel to have him speak those same words directly to him, like his lonely delusions were actually plausible.

Suddenly, he heard a knock at his own door. When he opened it, he found a tall and handsome, dark haired man standing there. His tattoos making Jimin nervous as he looked up into those beautiful brown orbs.

"Hey neighbor," the mysterious man said, smiling warmly. "I noticed you were listening to my video. I hope I wasn't too loud."

Jimin felt his cheeks flush with embarrassment and his eyes widen at the realization that this really was his week long crush. "No, not at all," he said quickly. "I just love your videos."

Jungkook laughed. "Well, I hope you're not getting tired of hearing my voice."

Jimin shook his head. "Never...and you are so much more handsome than I could of ever imagined"

Jungkook had smiled sheepishly and as Jungkook turned to leave, Jimin couldn't resist asking. "Can I ask you something?"

"Of course," said Jungkook.

"I know this is kind of weird, but... can I see your set up? I mean, if you're okay with it."

Jungkook hesitated for a moment, then shook his head. "I'm sorry, Jimin. I prefer to keep my privacy. I hope you understand."

Jimin felt a pang of disappointment but nodded in understanding. "Yeah, I get it."

Jimin had continued to listen to Jungkook's videos, he began to feel like he was falling in love with him. It was silly, he knew, to have feelings for someone he had really only heard in met in videos, but he couldn't help it.

One night, as Jimin lay in bed, he couldn't resist the urge to leave another comment on Jungkook's video. "I just wanted to say that I really appreciate you, Jungkook. Your videos make me feel safe and loved."

Jungkook responded almost immediately. "Jimin, you don't know how much that means to me. Your support keeps me going."

Jimin felt a surge of excitement at the thought of meeting Jungkook in person again. He couldn't wait to see his handsome face and get to know him better.

Over the next few weeks, Jimin and Jungkook began to bond over their shared love of ASMR and other interests. They would often run into each other while coming and going from their apartments, and sometimes they would chat for hours in the hallway.

One day, as Jimin was heading out for a jog, he heard someone calling his name. He turned around and saw Jungkook running towards him.

"Hey, Jimin!" Jungkook said, breathless. "I was hoping I could join you on your run."

Jimin felt excitement bubble up inside him as they started to jog together. They chatted about their favorite movies, music, and hobbies.

Before they knew it, they had run several miles and were both drenched in sweat. They collapsed on a nearby bench, panting.

"That was amazing," Jimin gasped, looking at Jungkook's flushed face. "Thank you so much for joining me."

Jungkook smiled. "Anytime, Jimin. Running with you is definitely more fun than doing it alone."

Jimin felt his heart race as he looked at Jungkook. Jungkook had looked so sensual, drenched in sweat, with his shirt sticking to his abs and revealing all the curves his oversized shirt was previously hiding. He knew he was falling deeper in love with him, but he didn't know if Jungkook would ever feel the same way.

As Jimin's feelings for Jungkook grew stronger, he began to worry that he would never be able to tell Jungkook how he really felt. They had run together, chatted in the hallway, and even watched movies together in Jimin's apartment. But Jimin couldn't help but wonder if their closeness was just a friendship or if there was something more.

Jimin and Jungkook were excited for their next movie night together, settling in on the couch with bowls of popcorn and drinks. They had been looking forward to this all week, waiting for their schedules to finally align so they could relax together.

As they scrolled through their options, Jimin suggested a romantic comedy that he had been wanting to watch for weeks. Jungkook gave him a teasing look but didn't argue, knowing that Jimin always managed to pick good movies.

As the movie started, Jungkook couldn't help but notice how Jimin leaned into him, resting his head on Jungkook's shoulder. Jungkook felt his heart skip a beat, feeling an unexpected thrill of warmth and affection.

They laughed and joked throughout the movie, commenting on the cheesy lines and dramatic scenes. Jungkook found himself feeling grateful for these moments, feeling content just to be with Jimin and enjoying his company.

When the movie ended, they turned off the TV and sat in comfortable silence for a moment. Jungkook glanced over at Jimin, noticing how peaceful and happy he looked, and an overwhelming sense of fondness swept over him.

"Thanks for watching that movie with me, Kook," Jimin said, looking up at Jungkook with a smile.

Jungkook smiled back, feeling his heart swell. "Of course. Anytime."

Jimin shifted on the couch, turning to face Jungkook. "You know, Kook, I really appreciate these movie nights with you. They're always the highlight of my week."

Jungkook felt his cheeks warm up at the compliment. "Really? I thought I was just the popcorn provider," he joked.

Jimin chuckled. "You're more than that, Kook. You're my friend. And spending time with you means a lot to me."

They sat in silence for a few moments, both lost in their own thoughts. Jungkook glanced at Jimin again, feeling a sudden urge to say something he had been hesitant to express before.

"Hey, Jimin," he began tentatively. "Can I tell you something?"

Jimin sat up straighter, facing him fully now. "Of course, Kook. What is it?"

Jungkook took a deep breath, trying to quell the sudden nerves. "I don't know how to say this properly, but...I really like spending time with you too. And I don't know if it's just friendship or...or something else, but I just wanted you to know."

Jimin's eyes widened in surprise, but his expression remained soft and understanding. Jimin took a deep breath. "I know we've been friends for a while now, and you probably already know, but I just have to say it. I think I'm in love with you. Every time I hear your voice, see your smile, or spend time with you, my heart beats faster. I know it may sound crazy, but I just can't help how I feel."

Jungkook was momentarily taken aback but then looked at Jimin with a warm smile. "Jimin, I care about you a lot, but... I'm not sure if I feel the same way. I don't want to hurt you, and I think it's important that we continue to support each other whether we choose to enter a romantic relationship or not."

Jimin felt his heart sink. He knew that Jungkook had personal struggles that he was dealing with, but he couldn't help but feel a sense of disappointment. "I understand, Jungkook. I just couldn't keep my feelings to myself anymore. I don't want to lose our friendship."

"You won't, Jimin," Jungkook responded, reaching out to squeeze his friend's hand. "I'll always be here for you, no matter what."

Jimin nodded, a gentle smile on his lips. "I don't know what it means for us, but I'm willing to figure it out together."

But as Jimin lay alone in his apartment that night, he couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness and longing. He knew that he loved Jungkook deeply and couldn't help how he felt. He hoped that one day Jungkook would feel the same way, but for now, he was determined to continue being there for him as a friend and supporting him through his struggles.
