The Jeon Jungkook Boyfriend Experience | Jikook

Fake it till you make it ?

"Park Jimin" Jimin answers slowly as he shakes Jungkook's hand. "Hey, don't you think this is like straight out of a Rom-com?"

Jungkook stops shaking Jimin's hand. "You don't give up, do you?" he asks as he lets go of Jimin's hand.

"Nope. Neither do my friends when it comes to trying to set me up, so please, just pretend to be my boyfriend for a little while. Please? Please?" he pouts. "It'll just be for a little while, and then we can have an amicable break up, like in a Rom-Com"

"What?"

"Never mind. All I'm saying is that it won't be as bad as you're imagining. I promise. And then we can go straight back to being friends."

Jungkook looks at him weirdly. "Go back to being friends? I didn't even know your name until a minute ago."

"Irrelevant."

"I-"

Jungkook pauses and pinches the bridge of his nose.

"Alright, let's say I agree to this," he begins, and Jimin's eyes light up in excitement. Jungkook notices and his eyes light up, too, in fear. "Hypothetically," he quickly reiterates, "what do I get in return?"

"The pleasure of getting to say you're Park Jimin's boyfriend?"

Jungkook raises a brow.

"Uh... I'll let you touch my butt?"

Jungkook's eyes flicker down to Jimin's ass for a fraction of a second before he returns his gaze to Jimin and crosses his arms over his chest. "Your skills in persuasion are unmatched," he deadpans.

Jimin sighs in exasperation and gives up. "Why don't you just tell me what you want in return?"

Jungkook doesn't say anything for a moment. His chin juts out just a little as he mulls over Jimin's proposition. Jimin waits with bated breath, hands clasped together in prayer, until Jungkook finally looks at him. "I'll think about it," he says, and turns around to get away from Jimin. But Jimin knows what's up; he knows that Jungkook's just saying that to shut him up for now - so he reaches out and grabs Jungkook's arm.

"Okay, how about you start pretending now, and think about it in the meantime?"

Jungkook looks like he still isn't convinced, not in the slightest, and ifJimin would take just a moment to sit down and think about how ridiculous his request is - and of a total stranger, no less - he might just sympathize with Jungkook on this, but Jimin doesn't have a moment to do any of that. All he has is his stubbornness.

He returns to the table where his friends are sitting in the cafeteria, and sits down. They all look at him with brows raised in anticipation. Then, he clears his throat. "Everyone, this is Jungkook, my boyfriend.Jungkook, this is Jin, Taehyung and Namjoon."

"You already introduced us," Taehyung says, leaning forward, resting his chin in his palm. "Why'd you two run off so quickly earlier?"

Jimin rubs the back of his neck. "Uh," he begins slowly, and feels all of his bullshitting power slip away from him. He licks his lips and looks over at Jungkook, sitting calmly by his side like he wasn't just dragged here against his will a moment ago.

"I haven't seen him in a little while," Jungkook answers when Jimin fails to find the words. "So I stole him for a quick smooch. Sorry."

Someone coughs. Jimin realizes it's himself. Seokjin waves his hand and laughs. "Oh, don't apologize! We're just happy Jimin can be with you out in the open. Up until now he's never wanted to introduce you to us."
