JUNGKOOK

Jungkook took a deep breath.

He had been pacing around
his hotel room for the past
ten minutes, unable to
contain his excitement and anxiety any longer.

He was going to see Jimin
again.

The phone in the room had
been ringing as soon as he'd returned from work, with
Jimin sounding worried and frantic and sexy as hell
then finally relieved when
Jungkook had told him
he'd found the keychain.

Looking down at the
astronaut figure, he smiled.

It may've been an unexpected reminder of his past when
he'd found it in the floor
but it was also about to have
an effect on his future.

His immediate future at least, since Jimin was on his way to
his room right that minute.

Was probably almost
there, in fact.

He flipped on the television
then decided against it, turning
it back off as he sat down on
the edge of the bed.

He'd been worried that he
might not hear Jimin knock
but that was ridiculous.

He snorted self-deprecatingly
at his nerves.

One night with a hot stranger and he was acting like a schoolboy with a crush.

What if Jimin didn't even
want to talk to him?

He'd been pretty adamant
about not calling, not seeing each other again.

Except that he did call and he was coming to see him again.

Never mind that it was to retrieve his lost keychain.

Jungkook was being given another chance, whether by accident or by fate and he
didn't intend to waste it.

He'd almost relaxed when he heard footsteps hurrying
down the hallway, slowing
down as they came closer.

In his mind, he could
picture Jimin standing
outside the door.

Was he as nervous as
Jungkook was?

Even though he was expecting
it, he still jumped at the
sound of Jimin knocking
on the door.

It reverberated through the
small room and Jungkook's
heart skipped a beat when
he opened the door and
saw Jimin standing there.

Was it possible that he was
even more attractive now
than he'd been before?

He wanted to take Jimin's upturned face in his hands,
to kiss his full lips, to pull
him close and feel their
bodies pressed together.

"Hi..." Jimin said, breaking
the silence.

Shit.

Jungkook had been standing there staring at the man like
he was food. Real smooth.

"Hey." Jungkook put on his
best smile, hoping to
compensate for his lapse.

"Please come in."

He opened the door wide, gesturing for Jimin to step
inside the room.

Watching Jimin walk by, Jungkook had to put his
hands behind his back to
keep from reaching out and touching the other man.

Jungkook was usually the one
in control, never showing too much emotion, ready to cut
ties and run for the hills if someone tried to peek
over the walls he'd built.
