The Clumsy One Is Mine (Jikook)

The Flu Pt 1

"Jimin? Jimin-"

Jimin looks up from the floor, completely taken aback. "Oh, Mr. Jeon...sorry, I was just...well.."

"Are you feeling okay?" The older questions, standing from his seat and walking over to the blonde, who continues to be lost in thought today.
"What is the-" A knock appears, cutting him off.
"Come in."

Jimin nervously chews his bottom lip as he turns his phone off. His last screen showing he was staring down at the messages he left for Jungkook, but weren't responded to.

"Hey, Mr. Jeon. Hi Jimin!" Tae says sweetly as he walks in. Jimin nods gently. "Mr. Jeon, Jungkook didn't come in today?"

Mr. Jeon frowns in confusion, "Hm? He isn't here? He didn't tell me anything about not coming in?"

"Oh...is there any meetings he needed to attend to perhaps?"

Mr. Jeon shakes his head. "No, not that I have any knowledge of."

"That's...weird...Jungkook never misses work," Taehyung says, slowly trying to understand. "Jimin, do you know anything?"

Jimin pouts as he shakes his head. "Not at all. He didn't tell me he wasn't coming in."
'Though I'm sure he probably just doesn't want to see me. I seriously have to talk to him.'

"Hm. I'm gonna call him. Excuse me." Taehyung quickly goes to his contacts and calls Jungkook.

Jungkook squints his eyes from the bright sunlight as he slowly lays up from his bed, lazily reaching over and grabs his phone. "Mmmm, hello?"

"Jungkook? Where are you?"

"Mmmm, what time is it..?" Jungkook asks, eyes still closed as he continues to lay down.

"How about you check?"

Jungkook groans, now lazily looking at his phone. The time, and todays date, making his eyes widen immediately. "Holy shit. I'm so late!" He says, then looks down at himself. He's sweaty, his suit from yesterday is still on and he's got glass cup in his hand, with very little alcohol left over that he was too drunk to finish. "God," He groans.
'I'm a fucking mess.'

"Are you okay?" Tae asks, full worry in his voice and face.

Jungkook sighs as he stands, then instantly rubs his head in pain. "I'm extremely hungover, Taehyung."

"Since when do you drink till hungover the next day?"

Jungkook sits on the edge of the bed as he immediately remembers why he drank till he couldn't take anymore.

"What...? Of course I care. I don't care about your money-"

"I find that very hard to believe, Jimin Park."

"I don't really feel like going anywhere tonight. Sorry I won't be spending any money on you today...." He then turns around but stops, and looks down at the ground. "And don't worry. We don't need that fifth date. So you can stop faking it now....you can stop pretending to like me back.....I'll let you go, Jimin...."

He groans, "I'm not..." He sets the cup down on the floor and rubs his head before loosening his tie, "I'm not going in today. Can you tell my dad that? I'm gonna shut my phone off and sleep this hangover off."

Taehyung frowns, now locking eyes with Jimin whose still in the office, and can't hear anything.
"What's wrong, Jungkook? I know you're not one to confide in anyone, that's simply because you never get like this. After years of knowing you, I've never seen you sad, upset.."
Only expressionless.
"So the fact that you feel that way NOW, is a huge deal. Please, tell me...?"
