Undeniable Chemistry

Life calls

Five weeks had passed.Jimin was happier than ever, he trained in the gym , he practised his dancing he even got a part time job walking dogs, but that one he kept to himself.
Luckily it was easy as Jungkook became busy, for someone who wasn't working he didn't spend much time at home.
His name worked wonders, the change of premises was agreed and for the last two days the cafe had been shut while a full wall was put inside to corden off the cafe from the rest of the building and decorating.
This also meant reorganising the inside and Jungkook and Yoongi both wanted it to be perfect.
It was past six o'clock when Jungkook got in. He looked tired, today had been one of those days things went wrong,
The tiles ordered had been sent in the wrong colour and the booth seating had arrived late.
Jimin didn't know this of course as he wasn't involved in it, so as his day had been quite lonely he literally jumped on Jungkook when he came through the door.
"Kookie let's go out to eat!"
"Ah Jimin, no not tonight,"
"But I've waited for you all day,"
"Jimin you know where I've been...."
"But I want to go out with you...."
"We can stay in,"
"But I always stay in....,let's go out,"
"Damn it Jimin stop acting like a brat!I'm tired, you want to go out then go, I'm not your keeper!"
Jungkook walked off to his room leaving Jimin standing there biting his lip, tears in his eyes. Jungkook had never shouted at him....was he getting fed up with him? Did he annoy him being clingy..., is that why he was working to get away from him?
Jimin slipped his shoes and a jacket on. He would go out leave Jungkook in peace,just because he was happy in the others company didn't mean it was the same for Jungkook, he had always been kind to him but he never spoke about a future with him, great sex didn't mean partner for life, Jimin didn't want to annoy him anymore tonight.
Quietly he let himself out of the house and just walked no particular place in mind just somewhere he didn't have to face people.
Jungkook showered he felt angry at himself for his harsh words to Jimin, just because he had had a bad day didn't mean he should take it out on Jimin.
This was how he had started feeling before taking time off, stressed always trying to fix one job or another. This time he wanted it done for a good reason though, he wanted Jimin to feel happy working and dancing, he had seen Jimin walking dogs thinking he didn't know and he knew he did it to stop feeling useless and also to buy little treats for Jungkook, Jimin was one of those people who thought if someone gave to him he should always give back.
He dried himself quickly and dressed grabbing his car keys.
"Hey Jimin, I'm sorry let's go out and eat."
Silence greeted him. He walked around inside and out, where was he, he felt worried so called Jimins phone but heard it ringing nearby.
Damn, where was he?
Yoongi....,he must have gone there....
He called Yoongi to ask but was stopped by his greeting.
"Hi Jungkook, whatever it is can we leave it til tomorrow? I'm having a date night with Joonie, I'm sure Jimin is eager for your company to?"
"Er yer I um...., just want to apologise for not getting as much done today as I should have."
"It's fine, you've done loads more than I imagined,"
"Oh...right, well have a good night..."
"Yer, night.."
Jungkook didn't know where to look for Jimin. Had he got annoyed at Jungkook and just gone out to blow off steam?
By now an hour had gone past and Jimin wasn't back he waited another half hour then got in his car and drove off.
He drove around the roads slowly searching around in the ensuing darkness.
In the main part or town he got out looking into restaurants and cafes.
Suddenly he felt raindrops.
"Fuck! Jimin I hope your back home," he muttered worriedly .
The rain came down harder as he drove towards home his headlights catching a small figure standing forlornly under an overhanging branch.
He braked hard dashing out of the car.
"Jimin, where have you been your soaked!"
He held Jimins cold hands rushing him to the passenger side but Jimin held back.
"I'll make your seat wet," he said teeth chattering.
"Who cares get in your frozen!"
Jimin sat in the car trying to get his numb fingers to click the seatbelt in. Jungkook got in saw he was struggling and fixed it. He put the heat on in the car, Jimins lips looked blue.
Neither said a word as they drove back, once they got there Jungkook rushed Jimin upstairs.
"I'll run a hot Bath get undressed...."
He went and ran the bath coming out to see Jimin struggling to get his clothes of and trying hard not to cry.
"Hey it's ok...,I will help you."
"I-I'm sorry...,I know your tired did you have to go out?"
"I wanted to find you to apologise..."
"So you were out because of me? I'm sorry..., I just thought you didn't want me to annoy you anymore tonight..., I was going to let you go to sleep then come back, but I got so cold."
"Jimin...,I'm really sorry for my bad mood, today was....well it's no excuse for how I treated you and I apologise ."
"It's fine..., it's my fault I shouldn't expect to take up your time, maybe I should move out give you back your home..., yes, I'll do that....ugh!!"
Jimin stopped as warm lips claimed his.
" your going nowhere, I like having you here, let's get you in that bath.."
He stripped Jimin off carrying him to the bath and lowering him in. Jimin cried out as the warmth seeped through his cold body.
Finally he sighed relaxing back.
"Have you eaten?"
"No I forgot my wallet and phone," Jimin admitted.
"I'll order takeaway and how about a movie?"
Jimin nodded a faint smile on his face.
"Ok don't fall asleep in here..., come down when your done."
Jungkook went downstairs ordering a takeaway,it arrived as Jimin came downstairs, looking warm and dressed in a cosy fluffy jumper and sweats.
"Eat first then movie or sit and eat and watch at same time?"
"Erm..., what do you want?You decide ..."
Jungkook looked at Jimin who was nervously twisting his fingers together.was Jimin just trying to please him or didn't he really mind? He tried again...
"Water or juice?"
"Whatever you are having..."
Definitely suspicious.....
"Horror or comedy?"
Jungkook knew Jimin didn't like horror but Jimin knew Jungkook did.
"H-horror..."
"You sure?"
Jimin nodded energetically.
Soon both were on the sofa eating pizza and drinking juice.
Jungkook chose a film he'd seen before, he wanted to see how long Jimin would last before asking him to change it.
Jimin got away with not seeing the first bit by reaching for slices of pizza and keeping his head down as if watching what he was eating. Once the pizza was gone it was different, he tried to follow the film but jumped at the gory bits. He curled up on the sofa a cushion in his hands eventually just covering his face as too scared to watch. He didn't notice when it was turned off, he was so focused on having to blank out the screams that when the cushion was yanked from his hands he screamed.
"Ah Jimin, your scared stiff yet asked me to put it on......"
"I I'm sorry, I tried to watch it...."
"But you don't have too ..., I don't mind what we watch, you did it to try and make things better didn't you?"
"I-it's your house you should do things you want,"
"I feel awful that I've made you uncomfortable here,"
"No,no it's me I just presumed on you too much, we were bound to have an argument , you were justified."
"No I wasn't , this is why I wanted to take a break from work I was getting too involved, too single minded, I'd find myself snapping at people,consumed with finishing each job to go onto the next..., I don't need the money and I couldn't hold up a relationship..., I wanted to get this job done purely so you would feel happy.., be back in an environment you belonged in, instead I fell at the first hurdle ,I let one bad day get to me even though we are ahead on the timetable...., I let it get to me and took it out on you...."
"....Kookie......, don't get upset....., I admit it upset me when you shouted at me, but I also realised I can't demand things of you, I didn't take into account you had been working while I just laze around, so let's forget it eh?" Jimin hated to see Jungkook put himself down.
"Jimin you don't laze around! You go in the gym then you practise your dance piece for the exam not to mention your dog walking.."
"How did you know that!"
"I saw you, I was worried that the dog would pull you over it was so big..."
"Big? Oh that's Thor..., he's a big softy, scared of his own shadow..., the other two I walk are quite energetic, Thor is a sloth in disguise," he giggled.
How Jungkook loved that giggle.... He swooped down picking Jimin up so that the smaller had to hook his legs around his waist to stop from falling.
"I promise I won't shout again and tomorrow come with me I can sort out the workers then we can spend the afternoon together."
"Really!"
"Yes really..., but now let me make it up to you...."
"Oh yer? How?" Jimin giggled.
"Upstairs right now....."
"But we need to clean up the food boxes and glasses..."
"They can wait....I can't ,"
Jimin shivered in pleasurable anticipation of what was to come.
